Lebanon’s health ministry says six people have been killed, and 15 injured, after an Israeli air strike in the capital Beirut
More than 550 people in Lebanon have been killed, including 50 children, in Israeli strikes since Monday, the ministry says
Thousands are fleeing southern Lebanon, with families crammed into cars and closed schools being used as makeshift shelters
Monday was the deadliest day in Lebanon since the end of the civil war in 1990
Israel says it aims to remove the threat from Hezbollah and return displaced residents to northern Israel; Hezbollah says it is resisting Israeli “aggression” and acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza
Attacks on both sides of the border have escalated, and fears of an all-out regional conflict have grown, since a series of exploding device attacks on Hezbollah members
