The Israeli military carried out a series of airstrikes on Lebanon on Monday, reportedly killing over 500 people, including 50 children and 94 women. The strikes, which have been described as the deadliest since the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah war, come amid the Jewish State’s expanding campaign against the Lebanese militant group.

Lebanese authorities have reported that over 1,800 people have been injured. The country’s Health Minister Firass Abiad has claimed that the strikes have hit hospitals, medical centers and ambulances.

The government has ordered schools and universities across the country to begin preparing shelters as thousands of people flee from the southern regions of Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military has claimed to have struck over 1,500 targets, describing them as Hezbollah weapons sites.

    Iranian President Masoud Pezeskhian condemned the “inaction of the UN against the crimes” of Israel and said he has voiced his concerns to the UN secretary-general.

    “The silence of the world, especially the Western countries, before the deaths of 41,000 innocent people in Gaza is incomprehensible,” Pezeskhian said. “The Islamic world will not allow them to turn Lebanon into another Gaza.”

The IDF said that about 150 rockets, missiles and other projectiles were fired onto its territory overnight on Saturday and early Sunday. Thousands of Israelis took cover in bomb shelters as a result, as homes near Haifa were destroyed.

Israel and Hezbollah have now entered a stage in their nearly year-long conflict that reports say is verging on a full-out war. Citing Israel’s military, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that “dozens of warplanes” struck southern Lebanon on Saturday night into Sunday morning.

In response to attacks on Lebanon’s communication devices, Hezbollah targeted Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems which is one of the developers of its Iron Dome air-defense system over the weekend. Hezbollah also said that they targeted Israel’s Ramat David Airbase near Haifa.

Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, joined Sputnik’s The Final Countdown on Monday to discuss the increasing hostility between Israel and Hezbollah.

“[Displacing people is a] major problem for the Israeli government. That's why they've now decided to put Gaza aside and start extending northward because they need to try to reopen that northern part. Because you got increasingly disgruntled population of Israelis, many of whom are saying they're never going to return. Now, the Israeli government’s got to find room for them and new placement,” Maloof explained. “They have to pay for it and it's draining the Israeli economy.”

 A week ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet made the decision to initiate the return of residents to the north of Israel an “official war goal”, BBC reported. About 60,000 people were evacuated from the area due to the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel as the conflict in the Gaza Strip nears its one-year anniversary.

During a military parade in Tehran on Saturday which commemorated the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988, Iran revealed a new solid-fueled ballistic missile dubbed the Jihad (Holy War). The missile has a reported range of up to 1,000 km and was designed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ aerospace division, Sputnik reported on Saturday.
