Israel's Iron Dome intercepted rockets launched from Lebanon on Wednesday (October 9), as seen from northern Israel, amid cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
Hezbollah has been launching rockets against Israel for a year in parallel with the Gaza war and is now fighting it in ground clashes that are spreading along Lebanon's mountainous frontier with Israel.
The escalation in Lebanon, after a year of war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, has raised fears of a wider Middle East conflict that could suck in Iran and Israel's superpower ally the United States.
