"Hezbollah and IDF Engage in Cross-Border Missile Exchange"

The IDF and Hezbollah engaged in multiple rounds of attacks over the weekend, with the Israeli Air Force striking Hezbollah infrastructure, including a rocket launcher. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah criticized Israel's lack of accomplishments and warned of an expanded war. Three IDF soldiers were seriously injured by an anti-tank missile, prompting Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to caution Hezbollah against escalating the fighting. In response, the IDF targeted Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria after attempted missile launches and rocket fire. Nasrallah blamed the US for the aggression and called for pressure to be directed towards the American government.
