Israel unleashed its most widespread wave of airstrikes against what it said were hundreds of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Monday, killing 182 people by Lebanese tallies, and warned citizens to evacuate areas where it said the armed group was storing weapons.
The strikes came as the Israeli military warned residents in southern and eastern Lebanon to evacuate their homes ahead of a widening air campaign against the militant group.
