    Border skirmishes with Hezbollah fighters, mostly sparatic artillery/rockets at the moment. In general it's not really that unusual for this specific part of the border, but the overall tensions and fluidity do add a much higher escalatory risk than normal.

    This is one of the stated rationales for the deployment of the US carrier strike groups, specifically to deter Iran and it's proxy, Hezbollah, for opening a second front.
