The Israel Defense Forces has reportedly killed hundreds in its widening air campaign against Hezbollah
The Israeli military carried out a series of airstrikes on Lebanon on Monday, reportedly killing over 270 people. The strikes, which have been described as the deadliest since the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah war, come amid the Jewish State’s expanding campaign against the Lebanese militant group.
Lebanese authorities have reported that over 1,000 people have been injured. The country’s Health Minister Firass Abiad has claimed that the strikes have hit hospitals, medical centers and ambulances.
The government has ordered schools and universities across the country to begin preparing shelters as thousands of people flee from the southern regions of Lebanon.
Israel, meanwhile, has announced that it has hit some 800 targets, claiming to have been targeting Hezbollah weapons sites.
