Lebanon

The launches, nearly all of which Israel shot down, were an apparent attempt by the group to show it remains a threat even as the war has degraded its military capabilities in Gaza.

Subterranean operations at Galilee Medical Center are a striking example of how life in northern Israel has been upended since Hezbollah began launching near-daily attacks.

The assertion is just “psychological warfare,” says one Lebanese expert on the militant group.

The Israeli military later said that no bases had been hit and no casualties reported.

A recent round of strikes has brought the conflict more clearly into the open and raised fears of a broader war.

Iranian officials said that an attack Friday used small drones possibly launched from inside Iran, and that radar systems had not detected unidentified aircraft entering Iranian airspace.

The Lebanese militant group said the drone and missile attack was in response to Israeli airstrikes that killed two Hezbollah commanders.

The U.S. had accused the dead man of being a financial middleman between Hamas and Iran. The interior minister said there were suggestions that the killing “was carried out by intelligence services.”

The president told Israel that the interception of nearly all of the Iranian drones and missiles used to attack it constituted a major victory, and so further retaliation might not be necessary, U.S. officials said.
