A United Nations official has warned of 'imminent catastrophe' in the region after Hezbollah fired rockets deep into northern Israel, while Israeli warplanes struck Lebanon's south.
Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged heavy fire, with Israeli warplanes carrying out the most intense bombardment in almost a year of war across Lebanon's south and Hezbollah firing rockets deep into northern Israel. The Israeli military said it struck around 290 targets on Saturday , including thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels, and said it would continue to strike targets of the Iran-backed movement.
" The escalating attacks come less than 48 hours after an Israeli airstrike targeting Hezbollah commanders in a suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The death toll from that strike rose to 45, the Lebanese health ministry said on Sunday. It marked the deadliest Israeli airstrike on Beirut since the summer 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
