Israel has carried out pre-emptive strikes against Hezbollah, while the militant group says it has completed the 'first phase' an attack on 11 Israeli military sites.
Israel has launched airstrikes in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, with the militant group saying it has responded by firing drones and hundreds of rockets. Warning sirens sounded in northern Israel and explosions were heard as the military's Iron Dome aerial defence system shot down missiles from southern Lebanon. Flights to and from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport were also suspended.
The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, previously described Shukr as 'one of the most wanted terrorists in the world'. Meanwhile the Lebanese National News Agency described 'enemy warplanes' causing 'severe damage to property, crops, and infrastructure, especially the electricity and water networks'. The escalation was predicted according to an assessment of Israeli intelligence by the country's best-connected security correspondents.
