Breaking news Hezbollah leader’s killing escalates war with Israel.(CNN NEWS)_
• Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has intensified the war at its border with Lebanon and put the Middle East on edge. The militant group says it will continue to fight, while its backer Iran has vowed retaliation.
• US officials, who are still pressing for a ceasefire, see the possibility of a limited Israeli ground incursion into Lebanon, but stress that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not appear to have made a decision yet.
• A growing number of senior Hezbollah figures have been killed, and Israel continues to launch airstrikes on what it says are Hezbollah targets in the capital of Beirut and elsewhere in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah is firing rockets into northern Israel, where one of Netanyahu’s war aims is to return displaced residents.
• Israel’s bombardment has forced tens of thousands into the streets of Lebanon, where residential buildings have been flattened and key infrastructure destroyed. Over 1,000 people have been killed since the attacks escalated last week, according to the Lebanese government.
