STORYLINE:
The Israeli military says it hit many towns across southern Lebanon with strikes as the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah attacked six Israeli military posts and bases.

The Israel military said its warplanes bombed infrastructure used by Hezbollah in several locations in southern Lebanon on Thursday.

Hezbollah said Thursday it attacked six Israeli military posts and bases with rockets and explosive drones, in a second day of attacks on northern Israel in retaliation for killing one of the group’s top commanders.

Cross-border attacks by Israel and Hezbollah have been taking place almost daily since the war in Gaza began in October.

This week’s escalation comes as some Israeli leaders have threatened all-out war to silence Hezbollah’s rocket fire, which has displaced tens of thousands of Israelis, and as Iran-backed Hezbollah seeks to exert pressure in support of its Palestinian ally Hamas during back-and-forth negotiations over a cease-fire in Gaza.

Hezbollah says it won’t stop the attacks until there is a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.

The Arab world’s most powerful paramilitary force has been striking deeper inside Israel in recent weeks, introducing new and more advanced weaponry.

Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have killed over 400 people in the current round of fighting, most of them Hezbollah members, but the dead also include more than 70 civilians and non-combatants, and tens of thousands have been displaced from communities in the south.

On the Israeli side, 15 soldiers and 10 civilians have been killed.
