Hezbollah has launched a retaliatory attack on Israel after the killing of its military commander, Fuad Shukr. Israel is expecting rocket attacks and has declared a state of emergency, while launching attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

The US has increased its military presence to support Israel. Flights at Ben Gurion Airport have been temporarily closed.

Negotiations are ongoing in Cairo to de-escalate the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The tension between Israel and Hezbollah has been escalating, with Hezbollah shelling the north of Israel for months.

The situation poses a risk of further escalation and threatens the safety of both Lebanese and Israeli civilians. The international community, including the US, Egypt, and Qatar, hopes that negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza will prevent further escalation with Hezbollah and Iran.

Israel is asserting that its attacks are acts of self-defense, while warning Lebanese civilians in areas controlled by Hezbollah to seek safety. The situation is being closely monitored, as fears of a wider conflict grow.
