At least 492 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded, including women and children, as Israel launched fresh airstrikes in Southern Lebanon on Monday.

In one of the deadliest attacks since 2006, at least 492 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded, including women and children, as Israel launched fresh airstrikes in Southern Lebanon on Monday, said officials. The Israel military warned the southern and eastern Lebanon citizens to evacuate ahead of its air strike on Hezbollah positions in the country.

Lebanon’s health ministry confirmed that the Israeli strikes killed 492 people including 35 children and 58 women, and wounded over 1,000 people in a staggering one-day toll for the country still recovering from the fatal attack on communication devices last week.
