Rocket fire from Lebanon kills 7 in northern Israel, tensions rise as US pushes for ceasefire in Middle East

A barrage of rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel resulted in the deaths of four foreign workers and three Israelis on Thursday, marking one of the deadliest cross-border strikes since Israel's incursion into Lebanon, according to Israeli medical officials. In response, Israel launched airstrikes across Lebanon, reportedly targeting Hezbollah militants. Lebanese health authorities reported 24 fatalities from the strikes. Meanwhile, US diplomats are actively working to secure cease-fires in both Lebanon and Gaza, aiming to de-escalate the conflict as the Biden administration faces the final months before the upcoming US election.
