The Israeli military says it has killed around 700 Hezbollah fighters since launching operations in Lebanon in response to the Iran-backed group’s rocket attacks. Israel says it needs to establish a control zone in the depopulated south to protect its northern communities, which have been subjected to daily rocket attacks. The country has ordered all Lebanese civilians to evacuate the area south of the Litani River. Around a million Lebanese people have been displaced by the fighting.
