In Lebanon, authorities said at least 105 people had been killed by Israeli air strikes on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the United States has urged a diplomatic resolution to the conflict in Lebanon but has also authorised its military to reinforce in the region, Reuters reports.

US President Joe Biden, asked if an all-out war in the Middle East could be avoided, said: “It has to be.” He said he would be talking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel on Sunday launched airstrikes against the Houthi militia in Yemen and dozens of Hezbollah targets throughout Lebanon after earlier killing the Hezbollah leader.

The Yemenese health ministry said at least four people were killed and 29 wounded in airstrikes on Yemen’s port of Hodeidah, which Israel said were a response to Houthi missile attacks. Lebanon’s Health Ministry has said more than 1,000 Lebanese have been killed and 6,000 wounded in the past two weeks.
