A Year Later, Fighting Grows in Middle EastIsrael —(Map)Monday marked one year from a brutal attack on Israel by the militant group Hamas. Since then, fighting has grown in the region, with Israel now involved in serious fighting in Gaza and Lebanon. The fighting was not with the country of Lebanon, but with a militant group in Lebanon called Hezbollah. On September 27, Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Direct fighting between Iran and Israel greatly increases the chances of a larger, more violent conflict.
