At least 100 people have been killed and 400 injured in ongoing Israeli airstrikes targeting southern Lebanon, the country’s health ministry has said – the heaviest daily toll in nearly a year of cross-border clashes.

“Enemy raids on southern towns and villages since this morning… killed 100 and injured more than 400,” the ministry said, adding that “children, women and paramedics” were among the casualties.

Israel said it had hit 300 targets, in one of the most intense barrages against the militant group Hezbollah since the war in Gaza began in October last year.
