Israel is still battling Hamas in Gaza nearly a year after its October 7 attack, and has opened a new front against Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has been trading fire with Israel along the border since the war in Gaza began.
Israel also vowed to strike Iran itself after it launched a missile attack on the country last week.
The widening conflict risks drawing in the United States, which has provided military and diplomatic support to Israel, as well as US-allied Arab countries that host American forces.
Iran-allied militant groups in Syria, Iraq and Yemen have also joined in with strikes on Israel.
