Israel-Hezbollah escalation: flare-up or all-out war?

Despite a recent flare-up in violence between Israel and Hezbollah, both sides showed restraint, averting all-out war amidst ongoing clashes at the Israel-Lebanon border. Lebanon's Hezbollah responded to an Israeli strike that killed a senior commander, resulting in air strikes from Israel and rocket attacks from Hezbollah. The exchange lasted hours with limited damage, and analysts believe both sides aimed to control the narrative while avoiding a broader regional conflict.
