Middle East Eye – Israel Kills At Least 356 In Lebanon And Orders Thousands To Flee Their Homes
Israeli strikes pummel south and Beqaa as security source tells MEE Lebanese army will fight alongside Hezbollah if invaded
Massive Israeli air strikes on residential towns in southern and eastern Lebanon killed at least 356 people on Monday, in what has been Lebanon’s bloodiest day for decades.
At least 24 children, 42 women and two emergency responders were among the dead, Lebanon’s health minister said, adding that more than 1,246 others were wounded.
An air strike on southern Beirut targeted Ali Karaki, the head of Hezbollah’s southern command, in the parking of his building, security sources told Middle East Eye. His fate remains unclear.
The attacks on Lebanon and Hezbollah forced tens of thousands to flee north to find safety, with air strikes leaving smoking ruins on the roadside as Lebanese sought safety.
People across the country were contacted by Israel by phone and ordered to leave their homes.
