Hezbollah steps up rocket fire into Israel, which sends more troops into Lebanon

LA Times  

Palestinians at a hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip, on Tuesday mourn a relative killed in an Israeli bombardment. The Israeli military said that it sent more ground troops into southern Lebanon and that a senior Hezbollah commander was killed in an airstrike. Sheikh Naim Kassem, the acting leader of Hezbollah, said its military capabilities are still intact after weeks of heavy Israeli airstrikes and attacks that killed its top commanders in a matter of days. The Israeli military said it has dismantled militant infrastructure along the border and killed hundreds of Hezbollah fighters. A large number of settlements and cities are under the fire of the resistance.” He said Hezbollah will name a new leader to succeed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a bunker in Beirut last month, “but the circumstances are difficult because of the war.” Kassem said Hezbollah backs efforts by Lebanon’s parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to reach a cease-fire, but did not specify whether that means the group would be willing to accept a truce before there is a cease-fire in Gaza.
