Hezbollah is currently being run by a “collective leadership,” sources informed on Hezbollah’s situation told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, in response to reports about the successor of the group’s slain leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned Monday that "Israeli aggression" was pushing the region towards the "abyss" of full-blown war, during a visit to Lebanon.

"The Israeli aggression... which started in Gaza and now has continued into Lebanon is pushing the whole region into the abyss of full-blown regional war," Safadi told a news conference in Beirut.

U.S. Central Command chief General Michael Kurilla visited Israel for "a situational assessment" focused on security challenges coming from Iran and Lebanon, the Israeli military said on Monday.

"General Kurilla's visit focused on the current security issues, with an emphasis on Iran and the northern front," a military statement said, without specifying when he had arrived in Israel.

Hezbollah targeted areas near Haifa twice on Monday with rockets.

The group said early Monday that it targeted an Israeli military base near the northern city of Haifa. It later fired a "large rocket salvo" at areas north of Haifa in the afternoon.

Hezbollah said it targeted Israeli troops in a south Lebanon border village on Monday, as the Israeli army said it had deployed another division to participate in operations in Lebanon.

Hezbollah fighters "bombed... a gathering of Israeli forces in the Maroun al-Ras park with a rocket salvo", the group said in a statement, after announcing separately it had targeted several areas of northern Israel and military positions across the border.

Hezbollah said its fighters pushed away Israeli troops that attempted to storm into a Lebanese border village early Sunday, in the latest clashes after Israel announced ground operations earlier this week.

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati called for "pressure on Israel" for a ceasefire as a new Israeli strike hit the capital's southern suburbs on Sunday.

Israeli strikes killed 23 people across Lebanon on Saturday, the health ministry has said.

A fireball lit up the sky and smoke billowed over Beirut on Sunday as Israel unleashed intense strikes targeting the capital's southern suburbs, almost a year since the Hamas attack that sparked war in Gaza.

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein has denied that Washington has given a “green light” to Israel regarding its ongoing attack on Lebanon.
