So the war is officially expanding into Lebanon.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least 274 people were killed and 1,024 wounded in Israeli strikes — making Monday the deadliest day of conflict in Lebanon since the exchange of fire between Israel and Hezbollah that began in October. Israel said it struck approximately 800 Hezbollah targets, including in the south and in the Bekaa Valley in the east, and it called for civilians to evacuate or move away from areas in which the militant group operates. Lebanon’s casualty count did not distinguish between civilians and combatants, but it said children, women and paramedics were among those wounded or killed. Hezbollah fired dozens of projectiles over the border Monday, as the exchanges threatened to erupt into a full-blown war.
Casualties were reported in Lebanon’s south and northeast as the Israel Defense Forces said it struck 300 targets in Lebanon. Spokesman Daniel Hagari said it was carrying out “extensive, precise” strikes against Hezbollah targets throughout the country. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the IDF’s expanded attacks included Hezbollah targets “throughout the command chain,” including the elite fighting unit known as the al-Hajj Radwan force, and warehouses holding missiles and rockets.
