Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters have engaged in fighting on the ground in southern Lebanon, after Iran launched its largest-ever attack on Israel Tuesday.
The Israeli military said eight soldiers were killed in combat on Wednesday.
Iran fired about 200 ballistic missiles in Tuesday’s barrage, which it said was in response to the killings of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran will pay, as fears grow of a wider all-out war between the two regional military powerhouses. Iran’s military chief warned of broader strikes if Israel responds.
US President Joe Biden said he does not support a potential Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites.
