At least 182 people have been killed and 700 injured, Lebanon’s health ministry said, after new rocket attacks launched by Israel on Monday morning.
These numbers, as it seems, are starting to increase gradually. This makes the day the deadliest in Lebanon since hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah began last October.
Today, #Israel bombed hundreds of Hezbollah weapons depots located inside civilian villages in southern #Lebanon.
They were carefully mapped by the IDF over years.
How do you know these are weapons depots??

Amidst the wave of Israeli raids, Hezbollah announced that it had responded with a series of strikes on military targets in its neighboring country. However, from the attacks of Israel, as the Ministry of Health of Lebanon pointed out, many of the victims were civilians, namely women and children.
The escalation of Israel
The deadly strikes and evacuation warnings earlier carried out by Israel demonstrated their determination to make Hezbollah “break”.
As reported by the New York Times, Israeli officials hoped that by escalating their attacks, they could weaken the Lebanese organization, but it would force it to retreat from the Israeli-Lebanese border.
At the same time, images circulating the internet show a large number of people leaving the country and queues of cars trying to save their lives and that of their children.
