Israel-Hezbollah War Live Updates: After 558 killed
Israel-Hezbollah conflict Live Updates: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a recorded message, urged Lebanese civilians to heed their calls to evacuate, ahead of its widening air campaign against Hezbollah, news agency AP reported. “Israel’s war is not with you. It’s with Hezbollah. For too long, Hezbollah has been using you as human shields… Starting this morning, the IDF has warned you to get out of harm’s way. I urge you, take this warning seriously. Don’t let Hezbollah endanger your lives and the lives of your loved ones… Once our operation is finished, you can come back safely to your homes,” Netanyahu said.
The warning comes after Israel unleashed its most widespread wave of airstrikes against hundreds of Hezbollah targets, killing 558 people, including 50 children and 94 women, and wounding 1,835 by Lebanese tallies, AP report stated. This marked the deadliest attack in Lebanon since 2006. The latest attacks come amid some of the heaviest cross-border exchanges of fire in almost a year of conflict, as Israel shifts its focus to its northern border, where Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel in support of its ally Hamas, which is fighting a war with Israel in Gaza
