US Presidential Special Envoy Amos Hochstein has met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Al Jazeera reports.

“I can confirm that [US President Joe] Biden’s envoy … met with our prime minister,” Israeli government spokesman David Mencer told a press briefing.

This came as Mencer said Hezbollah has fired more than 5,000 rockets, anti-tank missiles and explosive UAVs at Israeli territory since hostilities started.

Hochstein also met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, with whom he discussed “the relentless attacks and rocket fire from Hezbollah, instigated by Iran, towards Israel’s northern towns and cities”, according to a statement from the presidential office.

Earlier this week, Hezbollah launched the largest volley yet of rockets and drones towards Israel since the Israel-Palestine conflict began on October 7. That came as Israel upped its attacks on Hezbollah commanders and infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
