The Israeli military says it launched a total of 200 strikes across Lebanon in the last 24 hours as it expanded its targets against Hezbollah, Al Jazeera reports.

So far the main focus of Israel’s military operations in Lebanon has been in the Bekaa Valley in the east, the suburbs of Beirut, and in the south, where incidents involving Israeli troops and UN peacekeepers have created tension.

In response, Hezbollah launched counterstrikes, hitting targets in al-Marj inside Lebanon, where Israeli forces are carrying out a military operation. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

According to the Israeli Army Radio, Hezbollah also intensified its use of ballistic missiles, targeting the city of Haifa with two surface-to-surface missiles, forcing thousands of residents in northern Israel to take shelter.
