Second Commander Decapitated, Hezbollah Fires 200 Rockets at Israel | WPN World People News

Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon are experiencing escalating conflicts. Recently, Israel conducted a drone strike targeting a senior Hezbollah commander, resulting in the death of Hezbollah's second-highest-ranking commander. In response, Hezbollah launched over 200 rockets towards Israel on the 4th, prompting immediate retaliatory strikes by the Israeli military on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. No casualties have been reported from either side.

Hezbollah stated that the 200 rockets launched towards Israel on the 4th were in retaliation for the killing of their senior commander and constituted one of the largest rocket attacks to date, including drone strikes on ten Israeli military sites. Israel responded by targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. According to Israel, most of Hezbollah's rockets were intercepted by air defense systems, though fires were ignited in several northern regions of Israel. Since May this year, frequent Hezbollah airstrikes have burned approximately 8,700 hectares of land in northern Israel, but no casualties have been reported.

The United States and France are continuously mediating to prevent further escalation between Israel and Hezbollah. Additionally, reports suggest that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is evaluating the possibility of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas and plans to convene a cabinet meeting to discuss this further.
