Beirut, Middle East countries Lebanon and Israel have come face to face once again after 18 years. Israel has now launched airstrikes in response to continued attacks by the Lebanese outfit Hezbollah.
The entire world was stunned when the Israel Air Defense Force bombed about 1,600 positions of Hezbollah in Lebanon on Monday. Dozens of missiles and rockets were fired from Israel on Tuesday as well. According to Lebanon's Health Minister Firas Abiad, 558 people have died in the airstrikes so far.
The dead included 50 children and 94 women. Most of those killed during the attack were unarmed in their homes. The number of injured in Israel's attack has also reached close to 2 thousand. According to the report of news agency AFP, 1835 people have been injured so far.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told the people of Lebanon that Israel's war is with Hezbollah in Lebanon. So people stay away from this war. Lebanon has closed all schools and colleges until Wednesday following Israeli airstrikes.
Markets and public places are also closed. People have been shifted to safe place. Israel has named this operation 'Northern Arrows'. Israel's army, the IDF, claims that Hezbollah is hiding missiles in homes in southern Lebanon and that they are being used against Israel.
After the latest attack, Hezbollah said on Tuesday that 180 of its weapons and drones entered Israeli airspace and targeted an Israeli military base. Because of this, people in the city of Haifa were forced to flee to safer places to save their lives. At the same time, the Israeli army also confirmed the attack from Lebanon.
The Israeli military said more than 50 shells were fired into northern Israel in less than 10 minutes on Tuesday morning.SS1MS
