Israel launched some of its heaviest airstrikes on Lebanon since it agreed to a ceasefire with the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah around a year ago.
The attacks late on Thursday, which Israel said were aimed at Hezbollah weapons sites and other infrastructure in southern Lebanon, have further stoked fears among Lebanese that the two sides will revert to war.
