Israel’s air force carried out dozens of airstrikes early Monday on southern Lebanon, as the Israeli military called on people in the area to immediately evacuate homes and other buildings where the Hezbollah militant group stores weapons. Residents of different villages in southern Lebanon posted photos on social media that they said showed their towns that were being struck. The state-run National News Agency also reported airstrikes in different areas. The Israeli military’s Arab-language spokesperson said Israel’s air force was attacking targets related to Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group. The wave of airstrikes came after a tense day in which Hezbollah fired over 100 rockets into northern Israel, with some landing near the city of Haifa. Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes as well. Hezbollah’s rocket attack came after an Israeli airstrike on a Beirut suburb on Friday killed a top Hezbollah military commander and more than a dozen Hezbollah members, along with dozens of civilians including women and children. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective as the war spreads to Israel’s northern front, FRANCE 24’s Eve Irvine is joined by Stéphanie Khoury, political journalist at l’Orient-Le Jour.
