Dozens were killed and scores wounded in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon on Monday, officials said. The strikes followed Israel’s military warning to civilians to leave areas where the Iran-backed militant group operates.
Earlier strikes Monday appeared to be the widest in geographic range simultaneously conducted by Israel in Lebanon since the war in Gaza began, after the two sides exchanged their most intense fire of the conflict over the weekend.
As fears of a wider regional war grow, Hezbollah’s second-in-command said “a battle without limits” was underway and the group launched some of its deepest strikes inside Israel in decades.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering a plan to force all Palestinians out of northern Gaza to lay siege to Hamas and force the release of hostages.
