US EditionLebanese Fear US Has Given Green Light for Israeli Escalation
- On Sunday, Israel's military said it struck Hezbollah targets across several areas in Lebanon including the Bekaa Valley and the village of Sohmor, part of near-daily ceasefire violations with around 25 attacks in south Lebanon.
