Lebanese health authorities have raised the death toll from two days of Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah militants in Lebanon to 558. Palestinian officials in Gaza, meanwhile, said new Israeli strikes on Tuesday killed at least two dozen people. Israel’s military says it will do “whatever is necessary” to push Hezbollah away from Lebanon’s border with Israel. Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire since the Israel-Hamas war began. Thousands of people fled southern Lebanon, jamming the main highway to Beirut in the biggest exodus since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.
