Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Egypt for fresh talks on an Israel-Hamas cease-fire, as tensions with Hezbollah persist at the Israel-Lebanon border in the wake of the shocking explosions of wireless devices.

As a reminder, this comes after Israel launched intensive overnight airstrikes in southern Lebanon, with the military saying its warplanes targeting Hezbollah rocket launchers. A barrage of rockets has been fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, the Israeli military says.

Israel’s military carried out another wave of strikes in southern Lebanon on Friday, Lebanon’s state news agency reported, on the heels of some of the most intense Israeli cross-border bombardments since the war in Gaza escalated regional conflagrations.
