Israel has said it launched a fresh wave of strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon this morning as fears of a regional war in the Middle East grow.
Israeli warplanes were seen carrying out heavy strikes on a number of Hezbollah posts on Monday morning, Reuters reports.This comes after the IDF and Iranian-backed militant group exchanged heavy fire for much of last week.Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari warned residents of south Lebanon to stay away from Hezbollah posts."Hezbollah is endangering you. Endangering you and your families," Hagari said.
Israel said earlier this week that it would move into a new phase of the war, which Dr Abiad labelled "a provocation"."I think that since the beginning of what happened in Gaza, up till now, I think this is the closest we are to what appears to be a full blown conflict," he said.
