U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urges Israel to avoid escalating its response to Iran's missile attack into a broader conflict. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has reported killing three senior Hezbollah commanders and 70 fighters in southern Lebanon, including Hashem Safieddine, a key figure in Hezbollah’s leadership. Blinken is actively pursuing ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon to stabilize the region, with the situation unfolding just months before the U.S. presidential election, potentially impacting U.S. foreign policy.
