Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia in Lebanon, said early Thursday that it launched rockets toward northern Israel in response to alleged Israeli violations of a ceasefire agreement. This marks its first reported attack since the deal was reached, according to Reuters.

Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces reported that Israel carried out a large-scale assault on Wednesday, striking more than 100 targets across Lebanon within a span of 10 minutes -- the most extensive coordinated operation since the conflict began. According to Lebanon's health ministry, the strikes resulted in at least 182 deaths and left nearly 900 people injured. -- Agencies
