Israel struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and said it would keep up intense pressure on its neighbouring country, which it said attacked military facilities in Israel on Tuesday, increasing fears of an all-out war in the Middle East.
Israel’s military chief said Hezbollah, which suffered major blows recently, must not be given a break and that attacks on the Iran-backed group would be accelerated after Lebanon’s deadliest day in decades.
