At least 492 people have been killed and 1,645 injured, Lebanon’s health ministry has said, after a wave of Israeli airstrikes on alleged Hezbollah targets that left the country with its highest daily death toll since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
Tens of thousands of people fled from south Lebanese towns and villages along the main road towards the capital, Beirut, in Israel’s most intense barrage in nearly a year of cross-border clashes, as sirens were also heard in the northern Israeli city of Haifa. The Lebanese health ministry said 35 children and 58 women were among those killed.
Israel says it has hit 1,300 targets in escalating conflict with Hezbollah. On Sunday, Hezbollah launched about 150 rockets, missiles and drones into northern Israel in retaliation for Friday’s strike.
Israel is starting a regional war at Netanyahu’s direction. This will drag US into the regional war to protect Israel with new US military dollars and lives involved. Netanyahu just wants to stay in power and out of jail with wars.
