Summary
Israel's military said it killed senior Hezbollah commander Abu Hassan Alaa in southern Lebanon on Saturday, with Lebanese strikes leaving 11 people dead.
Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack was retaliation for a Hezbollah strike that seriously injured three Israeli soldiers, driving a fresh weekend flare-up on the Lebanon front.
The exchange marks another setback to efforts to end the Middle East's parallel wars, which have dragged on for almost six months.
Those conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza have already disrupted global markets, underscoring the wider stakes of the renewed fighting.
