"Hezbollah's Escalating Strikes: Comparing Militaries and Demanding Ceasefire"

Cross-border conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalated with a rocket from Lebanon killing an Israeli soldier and Israeli airstrikes killing at least 10 people in southern Lebanon. The conflict was triggered by the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, and both sides possess significant military capabilities, with Hezbollah backed by Iran and Israel supported by the United States. While there is little appetite for a full-blown war, there are fears that a miscalculation could trigger a major escalation, prompting international efforts to tamp down tensions on the border.
