Israeli air raids on southern Lebanon have killed at least 182 people and wounded 727, according to Lebanese health officials.
International Media Aljazeera reported that, The Israeli army says that they launched more than 300 air raids at sites used by the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah. The increased hostilities raise further fears of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah or even a wider regional conflagration.
The announcement came hours after Israel’s military had warned civilians to move away from places it claimed were being used by Hezbollah, which launched a barrage of rockets into northern Israel the previous day.
The intensification of the fighting across the shared border, which has seen low-level skirmishes since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October, follows last week’s explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies which killed dozens in Lebanon.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said the death toll from Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon has reached 182, with 727 people wounded. Israeli airstrikes in Gaza over the last 24 hours killed 24 people and injured 60, bringing the total death toll in Gaza since October 7 to 41,455, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
