Why it matters

The Israel Defense Forces said it had fired missiles aimed at Hezbollah rocket-launching sites in southern Beirut that were allegedly going to be used to attack the Jewish state.

Despite agreeing to enter into negotiations with Lebanon — with a meeting reportedly planned in Washington next week — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks would not stop until the safety of Israel is assured.
