STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising on Friday in south of Lebanon as Israel ramps up airstrikes across the country.

Israel has dramatically escalated strikes, saying it is targeting Hezbollah’s military capacities and its senior commanders.

Nearly 700 people have been killed in Lebanon this week, according to the country’s health ministry.

Top Israeli officials have threatened to repeat the destruction of Gaza in Lebanon if the Hezbollah fire continues, raising fears that Israel’s actions in Gaza since Oct. 7 would be repeated in Lebanon.

The International Organization for Migration estimated Thursday that more than 200,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon since Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel in support of Hamas after it stormed into Israel, sparking the Israel-Hamas war.

Lebanon says a total of 1,540 people have been killed within its borders in that time.

Israeli military vehicles were seen transporting tanks and armored vehicles toward the country’s northern border with Lebanon, and commanders have issued a call-up of reservists.

Netanyahu says Israel is striking Hezbollah “with full force” and won’t stop until its goals are achieved.
