Israel attacks Hezbollah targets in airstrikes that Lebanese authorities say killed at least 492 people - while comments from Israel's defence minister suggest its military is preparing for a longer conflict.
Israel will do 'whatever is necessary' to push Hezbollah from its northern border with Lebanon, its military spokesman has said. At least 492 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Monday - including 35 children, according to Lebanon's health ministry. Israel attacked hundreds of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon's deadliest day in decades, with 58 women also reported killed and 1,645 people wounded.
Israel's military has also announced it is targeting the Lebanese capital, Beirut, and defence minister Yoav Gallant said its action in the country would continue until 'we achieve our goal to return the northern residents safely to their homes'. Hezbollah, meanwhile, has vowed to fight on until there is a ceasefire in Gaza. Israel's military said it hit around 800 targets connected to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley on Monday.
