Hezbollah’s latest rocket assault on Israel highlights the urgent need for decisive action against Iranian threats, as international diplomacy falls short and 80,000 Israelis remain displaced.
Air Force General C.Q. Brown cautioned that there was the risk posed by Iran's terrorist allies in places such as Iraq, Syria and Jordan who have attacked US troops as well as Yemen's Houthis.
Iran's Foreign Minister stated in a call with the Italian Foreign Minister that Iran's reaction to the Haniyeh assassination is inevitable, though Iran does not seek to escalate tensions.
Hezbollah is accused of administering a state-within-a-state by using independent and civilian systems, which sits in strong contrast to the weak Lebanese state.
Although the IDF intercepted some of the rockets, many struck houses in Katzrin in the largest attack the town has seen since Hezbollah began its attacks in October.

The IDF also announced that, earlier in the day, two soldiers were wounded as a result of projectiles launched from Lebanon that landed in the area of Misgav Am.
Lebanese sources claimed 10 Syrian nationals were killed during the strikes.
"Additional resources are urgently needed to respond to ongoing needs and to prepare and respond to increasing needs in event of escalation."
