Israeli forces bombarded Iran and Lebanon on Thursday, as the assault entered a sixth day and the wider region erupted into a fast-moving war on multiple fronts. Hezbollah and Israel escalated attacks against each other and began fighting on the ground inside southern Lebanon. Neighboring countries including Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia reported fresh attacks, and Qatar said it was evacuating residents near the U.S. Embassy in Doha, as Iran said it launched a wave of retaliatory strikes throughout the region, including against Kurdish forces in Iraq. Iran denied firing a missile toward Turkey, a day after Turkey said NATO air defenses shot down an Iranian ballistic missile heading toward its airspace. Targeting Turkey, a NATO member, would mark a major escalation in the conflict.
