Fears of an all-out Middle East war mounted Sunday as Hezbollah fired more than 100 rockets into Israel , whose military continued bombing targets in southern Lebanon while moving troops, tanks, and other equipment toward the northern border. Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem declared an 'open-ended battle' with Israel was underway in a speech at a funeral for three of the armed group's members who were killed in Israel i airstrikes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that his far-right government would 'take whatever action is necessary to restore security' in the northern part of Israel. 'No country can accept the wanton rocketing of its cities,' he said. 'We can't accept it either.' Hezbollah said it would not stop fighting until Israel stops its assault on Gaza, for which it is on trial for genocide at the International Court of Justice.
