Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 492 people in Lebanon in a single day, according to the authorities there, as the conflict escalated into full-scale war. More than 1,600 people were reported to have been injured.
Tens of thousands of people in southern Lebanon fled their homes and headed north on the main road to the capital Beirut in the face of the Israeli assault.
Israelโs Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the aim was to change the โsecurity balanceโ along its northern border. Hezbollah militia, backed by Iran, have been firing rockets across the border into Israel since the Hamas attack of October 7th which led to the war in Gaza.
Israel Defence Forces said it had hit more than 1,300 Hezbollah targets in 24 hours. Hezbollah was reported to have fired 35 rockets into Israel, with no reports of any casualties.
The conflict in Lebanon has escalated sharply in recent days, after pagers and radio handsets exploded, killing and injuring many members of Hezbollah. Israel has not admitted responsibility but is widely regarded as having been behind the attacks.

Hezbollah, Al-qaeda, Isis, Hamas, etc . Who is their creator?
Who is benefits from them?
Who is selling weapons to them?
So-called Champions of peacemaker are destroying the peace of the world.
Israel will likely aim to annihilate Hezbollah in Lebanon, regardless of the harm inflicted on civilians, including children, in order to gain leverage in ceasefire negotiations.
While the spotlight on genocide in Gaza continues and not even getting a mention. Ethnic cleansing. Disgraceful
For god sake USA vote trump to end this madness asap.
I think this comment section undergoes a massive hasbara and act. Il bot comment campaign. Never saw so many advocates for killing civilians (which is called terorrism) at ones
They destroy Thier own country in favor of Hesbollah
That's the failure of the UN as stated by the ambassador of Israel to the UN that instead of solving the conflict the meeting was more on blaming Israel
UK government is giving support for Isreal terrorist army by the last developed weapons and the result is genocide in gaza and Lebanon meanwhile UK government always taking freedom and human rights but the fact is that they are carring only About their interest
"God so loved the world that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (Bible – John 3:16)

Absolutely appalling coverage that just shares propaganda about โhuman shieldsโ and โweapons hidden in buildingsโ (that everyone already knows obviously canโt actually fit in the buildings)! The BBC are propaganda for both the British Government and Zionism and will be bankrupt in a few years!
