Rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel for the first time in months on Saturday, prompting Israeli forces to strike back hours later at sites in southern Lebanon it said were linked to the militant group Hezbollah. At least six people in Lebanon were killed in the Israeli bombardment and others wounded, according to statements from the Lebanese Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. The Israeli military said it had launched a second round of attacks on Saturday night. The attacks were the latest example of how the renewed Israeli offensive in Gaza was rippling across the Middle East. They also risked further disrupting the return of tens of thousands of displaced residents on both sides of the border who had fled more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. The Israeli military said that it had shot down three rockets from Lebanon with no reports of casualties.
