Powerful blasts were heard overnight across the capital. Security sources say there were 11 consecutive strikes similar to the night when Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an underground bunker last week.

Exchanges of fire on the Israel-Lebanon border are escalating. Hezbollah has launched a barrage of 100 rockets into Israeli territory. At least 100 were fired from southern Lebanon towards northern Galilee and the occupied Golan Heights. That escalation comes after Israel launched an attack deep inside Lebanon overnight that killed at least 4 civilians and a number injured in Baalbek – 100 km from the border with Israel. The same area was attacked last month. Israeli’s Iron Dome defence system intercepted some of those missiles. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports from Beirut, Lebanon.
