Iran-backed Hezbollah accused Israel of orchestrating an attack that killed several people and left almost 3,000 wounded across Lebanon, increasing fears of an all-out war.

Israel didn’t comment on Tuesday’s events, which left hundreds of members of the Hezbollah militant group injured. The two sides have exchanged fire on a near-daily basis for much of the last year, with tensions rising over the past several weeks.
