The death toll from the series of Israeli strikes across Lebanon has risen to seven, the government said, as Prime Minister Nawaf Salam warned that his country was at risk of being drawn into a “new war”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered “a second wave of strikes against dozens of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon”, the defence ministry said on Saturday, in the largest escalation since a November 27 ceasefire.
