The Israeli military says soldiers are “operating in southern Lebanon” as it continues strikes against Hezbollah. It says the deployment is part of a broader effort to increase security for residents in northern Israel near the border with Lebanon. Earlier, Iran hit the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia’s capital with a drone strike as it kept striking targets around the region, while the United States and Israel pounded Iran with airstrikes. U.S. President Donald Trump suggested it was just the start of a relentless campaign that could last more than a month. The intensity of the attacks, the killing of Iran's supreme leader, and the lack of any apparent exit plan indicate the conflict would not end anytime soon.
