Israel-Hezbollah war: US dials Tel Aviv as barrage of strikes kill over 180 in Lebanon

Israel-Hezbollah war: Israel's military launched airstrikes on 300 targets in Lebanon, marking the deadliest week since October. The Lebanese Health Ministry reported 100 deaths and 400 injuries, while Hezbollah retaliated with rocket fire. Tensions escalate amid fears of all-out war as both sides continue strikes. At least a 180 people were killed and more than 700 others injured on Monday as Israel struck hundreds of targets in neighbouring Lebanon. The intense barrage of airstrikes also prompted a counter-attack from Hezbollah as thousands of civilians fled the southern part of the country. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the military was changing the "security balance" along the northern border.
