Hezbollah, Israel trade fire as cross-border attacks intensify
There have been Israeli strikes in the past hour on towns not far from where I am. In addition, we also saw Hezbollah rockets going out into Israel.
We also know of three towns attacked in Bekaa, eastern Lebanon, where there are so far 12 people killed and 73 wounded. Overnight, in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh, 20 people were killed and at least 88 wounded.
This is the most intense exchange of fire we have seen since October and it’s still escalating. There has not been an official reaction from either side on the ceasefire proposal. Hezbollah’s position has been clear from the start. It will not agree to a ceasefire as long as there is a war in Gaza.

Death toll revised in Israeli attack on Syrian workers

Local official Hussein Salloum said most of the dead were women and children.
