Hezbollah fires rockets into Israel, while Israeli strikes hit targets in Lebanon, as the sides test a U.S.-mediated effort aimed at reducing cross-border attacks. The Israeli military says it intercepts rockets fired by Hezbollah into Israel on Wednesday. Lebanese security sources say an Israeli strike hits a car near Beirut. Hezbollah, an Iran-backed group, says in a statement that it fired a rocket salvo. The reported exchanges come amid ongoing negotiations intended to curb attacks and stabilize the border. The U.S. role is described as mediation to bring the parties to measures that would limit rocket and other fire, with the current incident indicating the fragile nature of the arrangement. Both sides continue to attribute the violence to the other, with Israeli and Lebanese sources focusing on the incoming fire and the strike impact, and Hezbollah presenting its action as retaliation or part of its operational stance. The situation remains under active monitoring as authorities assess whether the proposed curbs hold.
