Israeli air strikes dead 492 people in Lebanon

At least 492 have been killed so far in Lebanon today by Israeli air strikes on south and eastern parts of the country and on a southern suburb of Beirut.

Almost 1,650 people have been injured as well, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

The death toll is expected to rise through the night as overstretched rescue crews work to remove people from under the rubble of collapsed buildings and reach remote areas hit by airstrikes.
