Israel deployed dozens of fighter jets and hit 150 targets in Lebanon, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Monday. The latest round of strikes came hours after Hezbollah — an Iran-backed militant group and political party based in Lebanon — launched dozens of rockets Sunday at an Israeli military base in the northern region of the country.

Israel's air force carried out dozens of airstrikes early Monday on southern Lebanon, as the Israeli military called on people in the area to immediately evacuate homes and other buildings where it claimed the Hezbollah militant group stores weapons.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah has launched over 100 rockets into northern Israel in response to ramped-up Israeli attacks that killed dozens of people in Beirut, including a veteran leader of the militant group.
