Hezbollah says it has launched rockets into Israel, while Israel has targeted southern Lebanon overnight.
Hezbollah early on Tuesday morning said it launched volleys of rockets at two key bases near Tel Aviv and a naval base west of Haifa, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken due to arrive in Israel to launch another push for an elusive ceasefire. Diplomatic efforts have thus far failed to bring an end to the year-long Gaza war and its spillover conflict between the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and Israel.
Detailed plans for each of these have been seen as prerequisites for achieving any lasting resolution to the conflict. Experts say Hamas and Israel remain deeply at odds and are unlikely to make significant concessions before the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, which could upend US policy.
