Dozens killed in Lebanon as Israeli strikes intensify
Dozens of people have been killed in a wave of Israeli strikes across Lebanon, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to escalate military operations against Hezbollah.
On one of the heaviest days of bombings in weeks, Israeli evacuation orders were issued to at least 50 towns and villages.
Lebanon’s health ministry says the cumulative toll from the Israeli offensive since 2 March, when Hezbollah fired projectiles into Israel in response to the start of the Iran war, had reached 3,213 dead and 9,737 wounded as of 26 May.
The Israeli military said that 10 of its soldiers had been killed since the 16 April ceasefire, six of them by Hezbollah’s explosive drones.
