Lebanon Suffers Heavy Casualties in Israeli Strikes.

Smoke billows from the site of an Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese village of Khiam, near the Lebanon-Israel border, on Monday. The attack is part of a larger campaign of Israeli aerial strikes against the Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah, the largest since their war in 2006. The death toll from the airstrikes has reached a staggering number, with Lebanese health authorities reporting nearly 500 people killed, including 35 children, and over 1,600 injured.
