The US and Israeli war against Iran has expanded to Lebanon after the Iranian-backed Hizbullah militant group targeted Israel, which responded with strikes on Lebanon, killing at least 52 people and injuring more than 150.
...
Hizbullah said its attack on Israel was in response to Israel’s assassination of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameini, on Saturday morning, an action the militant group said “crossed a red line”.
...
The attacks continued throughout the day. Huge traffic jams were reported as residents fled southern Lebanon and Beirut’s Dahiyeh quarter.

The Israeli air force and navy said dozens of Hizbullah targets and what were described as “Iranian regime command centres” were struck, including a weapons storage site in the Tyre area in southern Lebanon. Money exchange shops that Israel claimed were used by Hizbullah for money laundering were also hit.
