The Israeli military has warned people to evacuate another 24 villages across southern Lebanon after launching limited ground operations near the border to combat the Hezbollah militant group. The villages are in a UN-declared buffer zone established after Israel and Hezbollah fought their last war in 2006. Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel, with Israel intercepting many of them. Hezbollah claimed its fighters clashed with Israeli troops in a Lebanese border town. The United Nations Security Council has called an emergency meeting to address the escalating conflict.
