Israel heavily bombing Lebanon as Britons urged to leave Lebanon
Israel’s military says it carrying out a new wave of “extensive” strikes in southern Lebanon.
Ten people have been killed by the Israeli attacks, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
The strikes come after Israel says it intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Hezbollah towards Tel Aviv – the first such rocket to target the country’s biggest city.
Hezbollah says the attack was directed at the headquarters of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
Violence is continuing to rise across the region as the government issues a warning to Britons in Lebanon to leave immediately. There are reports that the UK military is on standby to evacuate British nationals in the area.
