Hezbollah says it launched more than 200 missiles and a “swarm of drones” targeting Israeli army positions, as hostilities between the two intensify.

The Iran-backed group said it fired on targets in northern Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Hezbollah said it was responding to the assassination of a senior commander called Mohammed Nasser in southern Lebanon in Wednesday.
