Intense Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon have resulted in at least 492 deaths, marking the deadliest day of conflict in nearly 20 years, according to Lebanon's health ministry. The Israeli military struck 1,300 Hezbollah targets, aiming to destroy infrastructure built since the 2006 war, prompting thousands of families to flee their homes. Hezbollah retaliated with over 200 rockets into northern Israel, injuring two people. The conflict has claimed 35 children and 58 women, with 1,645 wounded. World powers urge restraint as tensions escalate, with UN Secretary General António Guterres expressing alarm to prevent Lebanon from becoming "another Gaza".
