Israeli strikes kill 274, heaviest daily toll since Lebanon's 1975-90 war

The conflict between Israel and Lebanon has escalated significantly, with a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah sites and civilians. The Israeli military has called on residents of southern Lebanon to evacuate their homes, but there has been no immediate exodus. The strikes have resulted in a high number of casualties, with reports indicating that at least 274 people have been killed, including 21 children and 39 women. The Lebanese Health Ministry has confirmed that over 400 people have been wounded.
I promised we would change the security balance, the balance of power in the north – and that is exactly what we are doing.
We anticipate it. Anywhere, in any arena, at any time. We eliminate senior officials, eliminate terrorists, eliminate missiles.
We are destroying thousands of missiles and rockets aimed at the cities of Israel and its citizens.
Israel's war is not with you; it's with Hezbollah. For too long Hezbollah has been using you as human shields.
The IDF has warned you to get out of harm's way. I urge you – take this warning seriously.
Israel will do whatever it takes through diplomacy – or through military means – to secure our northern border. It is what any other country would do.
Among the targets struck were buildings where Hezbollah hid rockets, missiles, launchers, UAVs and additional terrorist infrastructure.
Our message to all parties is clear: We need an immediate cease-fire from both sides so that we can get to a political settlement.
I have requested that an emergency meeting of the Security Council be held on Lebanon this week.
Any further escalation of this dangerous situation could have far-reaching and devastating consequences, not only for those living on both sides of the Blue line, but also for the broader region.
We are working as a government to stop this new Israeli war and to avoid descending into the unknown.
The actions will continue until we achieve our goal to return the northern [Israel] residents safely to their homes.
