Israel’s military began carrying out what it described as "extensive strikes" against Hezbollah, telling residents to evacuate areas close to buildings that are used by the militant group.
The new wave of airstrikes on Lebanon follow a weekend in which both sides exchanged hundreds of rockets. Some struck close to the Israeli port city of Haifa. Israel’s defense minister says the operations will continue until residents can return to evacuated areas near the northern border with Lebanon. Hezbollah has said it will fight on until a cease-fire is secured in Gaza.
