Lebanon’s deadliest day in decades as Israeli strikes kill hundreds

Hundreds dead and more than a thousand injured. Lebanon has suffered its deadliest day of conflict in almost two decades under intense Israeli bombardment.

Across the country, civilians have been receiving automated messages from Israel telling them to evacuate their homes.

In the past few hours, Israel has carried out what they say is a targeted attack on a Hezbollah commander in Beirut - one of a series of strikes throughout the day by the Israeli army across the country including in the north-eastern city of Baalbek and the Hermel district, as well as the Beqaa Valley.

More than 90 villages have been attacked around the third largest city in the country, Sidon.

I feel sorry for the ordinary Lebanese people who want nothing to do with this war, may god have mercy on their families

[ShurikB]

"Killing Hezbollah indiscriminately" well I see a failure to understand words...

[mybjj]

Lebanon must be liberated from Hezbollah and Iran

[DardaniaLion]

May God help the innocent, wherever they are.

[tarryalick]

Iran is directly involved from the beginning...who don't KNOW that ?

[vivelemoi]

I guess it is OK for 60, 000 Israelis to flee their homes because hezbollah targeted them, without warning, I might add.
But when Lebanese flee their homes, after a warning from Israel which saved their lives, it is a crime.

[Jakemarshall]

You’re fleeing and going to BEIRUT!??? Mental. That’s the place I’d avoid.

[fia]

[Donna-LindaMcFadden]

This is hezbollah's war. It is not Lebanon 🇱🇧 war and certainly not Middle East war

[mosesokon]

As far as Lebanese government allowed Hezbollah to stay in their country to fight ISRAEL they were also expect response from Israel.

[kevinwilliams]

so sad at the end of the day innocent people will suffer.

[hotpepe]

Once a christian country with peaceful people, but some terrorists kidnap the country because those christians show them love by giving them opportunity to come into their country... For this reason, I stand with Israel

[helloberman]

Why didn't you show all that footage of civilian houses with secondary explosions?

[dsvance]

"No time to prepare"?!? Excuse me! Everybody in the world KNEW this was coming. Why weren't the civilians already gone?

[ikechukwunwaeze]

The UK government despite its world of experience does not seem to get it right with the middle eastern conflicts..

[richardt]

What a crazy World we are living in ! 😢

[vickycaulker]

What’s crazy is that this can totally be prevented if everyone just stop.

Hezbollah escalated the war when it killed 12 children. Try to also see things from Israel's perspective.
