An Israeli ground operation targeting Hezbollah forces in Lebanon recalls previous wars and raises fears of worse to come.

The automaker reported a gain of 6.4 percent for the latest quarter, its first such increase this year.

Israel has said that Iran fired more than 180 missiles in the barrage on Tuesday, but that most were intercepted.

Israel seems ready to respond in a much more forceful and public way with Iran after Tehran launched its second massive missile attack on Israel this year, analysts and officials say.

Hundreds of residents of tiny Ain Ebel in southern Lebanon heeded the Israeli military’s warning to flee. Many sought shelter in a nearby monastery.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz said the U.N. secretary general had not condemned Iran’s missile attack on Israel in strong enough terms. For his part, Mr. Guterres said he condemned the attack.

The military identified the soldier as Capt. Eitan Itzhak Oster, 22, from central Israel, but did not specify where he was killed.

She was said to have been involved in the first killing of an educator during the Cultural Revolution, drawing official praise. She later apologized for her actions.

Israel says it aims to cripple Hezbollah’s forces in an area of southern Lebanon that the armed group controls.

Iran’s second missile barrage against Israel is unlikely to deter its foe, experts say, but may help retain the support of the “Axis of Resistance” it has built up over years.
