Israel kills 31 in Lebanon, vows to expand strikes after Hezbollah fire

Lebanon PM bans Hezbollah military activities

BEIRUT, Mar 2: Israeli strikes on Lebanon killed at least 31 people on Monday, authorities said, following rocket fire from Tehran-backed militant group Hezbollah after the killing of Iran's supreme leader.

Israel's military vowed to intensify its attacks on the country and make Hezbollah pay a "heavy price" after launching several strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and south Lebanon, areas where Hezbollah holds sway.

The escalation came as Lebanese authorities, who have been trying to spare the country from any repercussions of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, said Hezbollah's rocket fire gave Israel "excuses" to ramp up its attacks.

The group announced around 3 am on Monday that it had targeted an Israeli army site south of Haifa city "with a barrage of high-quality missiles and a swarm of drones".

The Lebanese government decided on the "immediate ban" of Hezbollah's military and security activities and to "oblige" the group to surrender its weapons to the state, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam announced Monday. �"AFP
