Hezbollah Retaliates After Senior Commander Taleb Sami Abdullah Killed

Northern Israel came under heavy fire as Hezbollah launched around 40 rockets from Lebanon, with the IDF intercepting several projectiles and identifying suspicious aerial targets on Thursday. This escalation follows the killing of senior Hezbollah commander Taleb Sami Abdullah by Israeli forces, prompting Hezbollah to intensify its attacks and vow further retaliation. The violence has led to injuries and fires in the Golan Heights and other regions. The ongoing exchanges have raised concerns from the U.S. about the potential for a broader regional conflict. Israeli forces have responded with targeted strikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Efforts for a diplomatic resolution are ongoing, with calls for a ceasefire to de-escalate tensions.
