Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israel Strikes Beirut and South Lebanon After Hezbollah Rocket Barrage

Caption: Israel Strikes Beirut and South Lebanon After Hezbollah Rocket Barrage. Israel Defense Forces launched multiple waves of airstrikes across Lebanon after Hezbollah fired about 200 rockets into northern Israel. Many strikes targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs, a stronghold of Hezbollah backed by Iran. Lebanon’s health ministry said at least 12 people were killed overnight after a strike on Beirut’s Corniche seafront. The rocket barrage followed a coordinated attack involving Hezbollah rockets and Iranian ballistic missiles against Israel. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israel’s military had been ordered to prepare to expand operations in Lebanon. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said the country did not want the war and was trying to end the conflict. Lebanese authorities say at least 687 people have been killed and around 800,000 displaced since the fighting escalated. Israeli officials said two Israeli soldiers have been killed in combat during the operations in Lebanon. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
