The U.S. secretary of state, visiting Israel, said the killing of Hamas’s leader last week could create an opening for peace, and he pushed the Israeli prime minister to allow more aid into Gaza.

Hezbollah said it had fired rockets at two bases near the Israeli city of Tel Aviv and a naval base west of Haifa on Tuesday morning just hours before US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel to make another push for an elusive ceasefire.

New Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon added urgency to Secretary of State Antony Blinken's latest visit to the region. Blinken met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to redouble efforts to end the conflicts with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
