Israel Strikes at Hamas and Hezbollah Amid Protests Across Mideast

There are fresh concerns that Israel’s war with Hamas will spark a wider conflict in the energy-producing Middle East, as leaders from around the region prepare to gather in Cairo for a summit on the crisis. Germany and China are also sending envoys to the meeting.

Israel’s military said it struck Hamas targets in Gaza overnight and responded to fire from Lebanon by hitting Hezbollah assets. The Iran-backed militant group said it fired guided missiles at several Israeli sites. The US, meanwhile, said its military bases in Iraq and Syria are increasingly under attack. Global stocks retreated and oil rose.
