Israel and the Hezbollah militant group based in Lebanon have exchanged a barrage of missiles across the border in recent days. Israel claims to have struck thousands of missile sites in Lebanon in order to prevent a large-scale attack on its territory. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has retaliated by launching a large number of drones against Israel, following the killing of one of its commanders in Beirut last month.
