As Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah continued overnight, nearly 600 people, including children, were killed, and the number of injured rose to nearly 2,000.

Local police struggled to remove rocket debris from the walls of houses, and hundreds of Lebanese residents fled to Syria, which is in the midst of a civil war, to escape Israeli bombing.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks could not be stopped, stressing that it was a war against Hezbollah, not against the Lebanese people.

“For your own sake, escape the clutches of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.”

Hezbollah also continued its counterattack.

The Israeli army said more than 100 missiles were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, but some were shot down from the air and others landed in empty fields.

International airlines canceled flights to Israel and Lebanon.

Our governments, including the United States, have advised their citizens in Israel and Lebanon to flee quickly.
