This is the best summary I could come up with:
Speaking from Beirut alongside Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Josep Borrell said the bloc was “seeing a worrying intensification of exchange of fire across the blue line in the border between Lebanon and Israel.”
The EU foreign policy chief’s comments came as Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at northern Israel from Lebanon earlier on Saturday.
The Shiite militant and political group warned the barrage was an “initial response” to the alleged Israeli killing of a top Hamas leader in Lebanon’s capital earlier this week.
Hezbollah said on Saturday that it had launched 62 rockets toward an Israeli air surveillance base on Mount Meron and that it scored direct hits.
The war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas’s 7 October attack on southern Israel in which militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took some 240 hostages.
Israel’s blistering retaliation by air, ground and sea has killed more than 22,600 Palestinians, about two-thirds of them women and children, according to Gaza’s authorities.
