A MASSIVE wave of Israeli air strikes hit southern and central Lebanon today, killing at least 51 people and injuring 223, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The attacks took place hours after Hezbollah had fired dozens of missiles into Israel, including one aimed at Tel Aviv.

The strike on Israel’s most populous city was Hezbollah’s deepest yet and marked the latest round of increasingly violent exchanges between the two forces.
