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.
The Israeli military said it carried out 120 strikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon “within an hour” on Monday. 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.
