Israel launched an attack on neighboring Lebanon on Wednesday, striking various locations in the south that killed at least four people and raising the specter of war between the two countries. The strikes followed a morning attack launched from Lebanon into Israel that struck a house and a military base. One Israeli woman was killed, and at least eight people were injured, according to a government spokeswoman. Meanwhile, negotiations over a potential deal to pause the fighting in Gaza and release the remaining hostages entered their second day on Wednesday, amid mounting concerns over an expected Israeli military operation in the crowded southern city of Rafah.
