Lebanon’s health ministry says at least 100 people have been killed and hundreds more wounded in Israeli strikes today
Israel says strikes against Hezbollah are “deepening” as citizens in southern Lebanon have received phone messageswarning them to leave places used by the Iran-backed group
A Lebanese minister calls the messages “psychological war”, while Israel’s defence minister says strikes will continue “until we achieve our goals – to return the residents of the north safely to their homes”
Fears of an all-out regional conflict in the Middle East have grown in the past week – cross-border attacks have ratcheted up after a series of exploding device attacks on Hezbollah members which were widely blamed on Israel
