Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi says the latest strikes on Lebanon are to prepare for the “possible entry” of troops
More than 90,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon since Monday, the UN says, as Israel’s military says it is carrying out a new wave of “extensive” strikes in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa area
Fifty-one people have been killed in Israeli air strikes on Wednesday, Lebanon’s health ministry says
Earlier, Israel said it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Hezbollah towards Tel Aviv – the first such rocket to target the city
Iran-backed Hezbollah says it is resisting Israeli “aggression” and acting in solidarity with Palestinians. Israel says it aims to remove the threat from Hezbollah
Since 8 October, there has been near-daily cross border fire between Israel and Hezbollah and 60,000 people are displaced from northern Israel
