Israel has expanded attacks on southern Lebanon and pounded the capital Beirut’s southern suburbs as the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has claimed a series of missile attacks on northern Israel, including near the city of Haifa.

An earlier attack on a municipal building near Bint Jbeil killed at least 10 Lebanese firefighters, the latest of dozens of first responders killed in recent weeks, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
