Rocket fire from Lebanon kills seven in northern Israel as US seeks cease-fires
Rocket fire from Lebanon killed seven people in northern Israel on Thursday, marking the deadliest cross-border strikes since Israel's invasion of Lebanon. The casualties included four foreign workers and three Israelis. Israel responded with airstrikes targeting Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.
U.S. officials are in the region seeking cease-fires in both Lebanon and Gaza. They met with Israeli leaders to discuss potential agreements, but immediate progress seems unlikely due to the upcoming U.S. election.
In Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes killed 24 people, with significant damage reported in the Bekaa Valley. Over 12,000 people have been displaced, and many are seeking refuge in private homes as the conflict escalates.
