Israel bombs Lebanon for a seventh day as people forced to sleep on streets

The Israeli military says it attacked dozens of targets of Hezbollah as fears grow of an all-out war.

Israeli jets have continued attacking targets across Lebanon, including the capital, Beirut, for a seventh day, with Lebanese officials saying the nonstop bombardment had left up to a million people in the streets.

As fears of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah grow, Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said on Sunday the intense Israeli attacks had possibly caused the “worst displacement crisis” in the country’s history.

Earlier, the Israeli military said its fighter jets had struck Hezbollah targets, including rocket launchers and weapons storage facilities, and carried out dozens of air raids across Lebanon.

At least 11 people were killed in an air raid on a house in the town of Ain in the Bekaa Valley in the northeast, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan, reporting from Marjeyoun in southern Lebanon, said a civil defence centre was hit in a small town just outside the Tyre governorate, killing four people and injuring several others.
