  • Here's what we're covering.

  • Israel and Hezbollah fired back and forth over the Israel Lebanon border this weekend in one of the biggest barrages in months.

  • It was an exchange that many in the region have been holding their breath for.

  • Israel and Hezbollah have been locked in a waiting game since last month when Israel killed one of the militant groups, top commanders in Beirut, and Hezbollah vowed to retaliate.

  • For now, the exchange has not risen to the level of major escalation that many had feared.

  • Lebanon reported three deaths.

  • Israel Wonde.

  • Both sides called their operations a success.

  • Israel says it struck preemptively to thwart a bigger attack, and Hezbollah says it followed through on its promise of retaliation.
