Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon on Monday resulted in at least 492 deaths, according to Lebanese authorities, making it the deadliest day in the country in decades. The strikes followed intense cross-border exchanges of fire that began earlier in October. In response, the Israeli military warned civilians in Lebanon to evacuate areas where Hezbollah was reportedly storing weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement addressing the Lebanese people, stating, “Israel’s war is not with you; it’s with Hezbollah,” and accused the group of using civilians as human shields. The escalation of violence has led to tens of thousands of people fleeing their homes for safety.
