Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for a drone strike last week that targeted the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hezbollah admits that some of its soldiers have been taken hostage by the Israelis.
Hezbollah, the militant group and political party that controls most of southern Lebanon, has been declared a terrorist organization by the United States, while the European Union has blacklisted only the armed wing, but not the party.
The group's spokesman, Mohammed Afif, has said that Hezbollah takes full responsibility for the operation in Caesarea, which targeted Netanyahu. Shiite militias, funded and armed by Iran, also threaten to carry out further attacks of this caliber in Israel.
On Saturday, the Israeli prime minister accused Hezbollah of carrying out assassinations against him and his wife, after launching a drone at his residence in the town of Caesarea.
The Israeli army has announced that it has taken four Hezbollah fighters hostage since the start of the offensive in Lebanon, and has released a video in which one of them is seen responding.
The United States said yesterday it wants the Israel-Hezbollah war to end "as soon as possible" as it pushes for a United Nations resolution calling for the armed group to withdraw from southern Lebanon.
Exchanges of rocket attacks on the border of Lebanon began after the start of Israel's war in Gaza on October 7 of last year.
The war has been fueled by Hamas attacks in southern Israel, leaving more than 1,200 people dead and taking another 240 hostages.
As a result of the Israeli offensive in Gaza, more than 42,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed, according to Palestinian health authorities.
In September, Israel expanded the war to Lebanon, with the aim of destroying Hezbollah's capabilities in the border area.
Hezbollah, on the other hand, has vowed to continue fighting until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza.
