The Israeli military was preparing to expand strikes across Lebanon early on Monday, as the long-simmering conflict with Hezbollah threatened to explode into larger war.

Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon, with residents in some areas being warned to evacuate.

The Israeli army has also warned Lebanese to 'move away' from Hezbollah sites and said it will launch more 'extensive, precise strikes' in Lebanon.
