STORYLINE:
A series of Israeli airstrikes struck the town of Habbouch in southern Lebanon on Monday.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry says a wave of Israeli airstrikes across the country on Monday have killed at least 100 people and wounded more than 400.

The ministry said that the preliminary toll included women and children.

The Israeli military said it struck 300 targets in Lebanon as it steps up pressure against the Hezbollah militant group.

It is one of the most intense barrages of airstrikes in nearly one year of fighting against Hezbollah.

As Israel was carrying out the attacks, Israeli authorities reported a series of air-raid sirens in northern Israel warning of incoming rocket fire from Lebanon.
