Live: Israel ramps up strikes on Gaza after Iran attack

Security sources told Middle East Eye that in the event of an Israeli ground invasion, the Lebanese army will "participate with Hezbollah in confronting and defending”.

The death toll from Israeli attacks in Lebanon has reached 182, with another 727 wounded, the country's health ministry has said. The casualties include women, children and medics, it added.

Lebanese media outlet Al Mayadeen is reporting that Israeli fighter jets attacked the villages of Mashghara, Sohmor and Zilaya in the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon.

Israeli fighter jets are preparing to launch "large-scale" strikes on Lebanon's Beqaa valley, military spokesperson Daniel Hagari has said.

When asked about the possibility of an Israeli ground invasion, Hagari responded that Israel has launched a large-scale aerial offensive in Lebanon.

A Palestinian child has been killed and others wounded in Israeli drone strikes on the town of Khuza'a, east of Khan Younis.

Another five people, including four children, were killed in another strike at dawn targeting a house in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, while at least three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on a school in the Nuseirat camp.

The death toll from Friday's Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut, which targeted a meeting of Hezbollah's elite force, has increased to 54, according to a new provisional report from the Lebanese health ministry.

Five individuals are still missing, following the discovery that one person previously thought to be missing was not in the building at the time of the attack.

The death toll from this morning's Israeli strikes has risen to 100, with more than 400 people injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

"The Israeli attacks are intensifying; the situation is serious and becoming more and more dangerous," said outgoing Lebanese Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi, according to the official National News Agency (ANI).

This comes as Lebanon's health ministry reported that at least 50 people were killed by Israeli strikes on Monday and over 300 were wounded, including children, women and medics in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon's health ministry reported that at least 50 people were killed by Israeli strikes on Monday and over 300 were wounded, including children, women and medics in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military told residents in Lebanon to leave their homes on Monday as its air strikes killed and wounded dozens of Lebanese people in heavy bombing.

The outskirts of several towns and villages in the south and the Beqaa valley in the east were targeted with air strikes, according to Lebanese broadcaster al-Manar.

Strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least four people and wounded over 26 others, according to al-Mayadeen. 

A rocket hit an uninhabited mountainside east of Jbeil, a historic coastal town north of Beirut also known as Byblos, state media reported.

The Lebanese health ministry said that at least one person was killed and six wounded by an Israeli strike on the Hermel region in the northeast.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry has urged hospitals in the southern, Nabatieh and Baalbek-Hermel regions to suspend all non-urgent surgeries to prioritise treating those wounded by "the continued escalation of Israeli aggression against Lebanon."

The Israeli military says it has carried out over 300 air strikes on what it claimed were Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. 

This week, Lebanon was rocked by deadly explosions targeting the communication devices of Hezbollah members. The blasts killed at least 32 people, including two children and several healthcare workers, while wounding thousands more.

Israel has not denied responsibility for this mass cyberattack, while several officials close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have hinted that Israel was behind it.

It marks a new escalation in what was previously a slow-burning war of attrition between Hezbollah and Israel. While the magnitude of the attack is massive and unprecedented, it should not have come as a surprise.

For weeks, Israeli officials have signalled the need for military intervention to stop Hezbollah rockets and to secure the return of more than 60,000 displaced Israelis to their homes in the north.

Mikati urged influential countries to intervene to deter the violence.

The Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen is reporting that Israeli strikes have killed at least four people and wounded more than 26 others.
