Israeli fresh airstrikes killed 270 people and 1024 injured in Lebanon

Hours after Israel unleashed its most widespread wave of airstrikes against hundreds of Hezbollah targets on Monday, the Shia Islamist political party claimed at least 274 people were killed in the attack. Also, the Lebanon official confirmed about injury of more than 1,024 people. The latest attacks come amid some of the heaviest cross-border exchanges of fire in almost a year of conflict, as Israel shifts its focus to its northern border, where Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel in support of its ally Hamas,



which is fighting a war with Israel in Gaza.

"We are deepening our attacks in Lebanon, the actions will continue until we achieve our goal to return the northern residents safely to their homes," Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said in a video published by his office on Monday. "These are days in which the Israeli public will have to show composure." He was speaking after the Israeli military targeted Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon's south, eastern Bekaa valley and the northern region near Syria.
