    Israel-Lebanon latest: Israeli strikes continue as Iran vows revenge after Hezbollah leader Nasrallah’s death

    Israeli bombardment continued in Lebanon after the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike at the militants’ headquarters in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh.

    At least six people were killed in the south of Lebanon and nine others in the Beqaa Valley in the northeast, local media reports said.

    “The IDF intensified its operations against Hezbollah’s force build-up through a series of targeted strikes on key weapon manufacturing sites. These included a facility used to produce and assemble missile and rocket launchers in southern Lebanon, as well as another site in the Beqaa Valley,” the Israel Defense Forces said.

    The UK government has asked Britons in Lebanon to “leave now” amid concerns over the escalating situation in the Middle East following.

    Iran ’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei said Nasrallah’s death “will not go unavenged” as he remembered the Hezbollah leader as the “flag-bearer of resistance” in the region.

    A total of 1,030 people, including 156 women and 87 children, have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon in less than two weeks, the country’s health minister said.
