Israel's Lebanon operation continues as leaders consider their response to Iran's long-range attack on Tuesday, in which hundreds of missiles were fired into the country, according to Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.
Iran said the unprecedented attack was retaliation for a wave of assassinations carried out by Israel over the last several weeks targeting Hezbollah, including leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Most of the missiles were intercepted, but "several hits were identified, and the damage is being assessed," an Israeli security official said.

The United States will provide almost $157 million in new humanitarian assistance in response to the "escalating crisis" in Lebanon, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Friday.
The funding will support populations in and around Lebanon impacted by fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and other conflicts, he said.
"This funding will address new and existing needs of internally displaced persons and refugee populations inside Lebanon and the communities that host them. The assistance will also support those fleeing to neighboring Syria," Blinken said in a statement.
