CONFLICT
Israëel voert bombardementen op Libanon op
September 23, 2024 - Israel has unleashed its most widespread wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah, killing at least 100 people, as cross-border attacks between the two sides continue to ratchet up.
The latest attacks come amid some of the heaviest cross-border exchanges of fire in almost a year of conflict, as Israel shifts its focus to its northern border, where Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel in support of its ally Hamas, which is fighting a war with Israel in Gaza.
The escalation has stoked fears that a full-blown land war could be imminent, and the U.S. has issued a stark warning to Israel against escalating the second front in the north.
