Israel’s military says it has conducted pre-emptive air strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon after detecting plans for a significant attack against its territory.
Hezbollah also confirmed it had started "phase one" of an extensive attack on Israel, firing 320 Katyusha rockets and drones targeting 11 military sites.
About 100 fighter jets "struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels" in more than 40 sites, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
At least one person was killed after an Israeli airstrike on a car in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam, according to the country’s health ministry.
It is a major escalation in tensions, and follows the killing of a Hezbollah commander in Beirut almost a month ago.
