Hospitals and health centres across southern Lebanon continued to receive those injured during the second day of Israeli airstrikes across the country.

Footage captured on Tuesday at the Infinity Health Services Centre in the town of Saksakiyeh shows injured children receiving medical care.

Doctor Mosa Yousef alleged that the attacks were tantamount to 'massacres' rather than 'military strikes', due to the injuries he had witnessed.

"Ninety percent of the injuries are on children, with wounds, burns, and fractures," he claimed.

On Monday, the Israeli army said it had launched ‘intensive and precise strikes against 'terrorist targets' across Lebanon, and called on civilians to evacuate from southern areas and Bakaa.

Lebanon's Ministry of Health reported 558 people killed and 1,835 injured at the time of publication.

Hezbollah also conducted strikes on Israeli military areas in northern Israel, with Israeli media reporting more than 200 rockets fired.

Tensions escalated over the past week following the mass explosions of pagers and handheld radios used by Hezbollah, with subsequent Israeli strikes on the south of the country and rockets fired from Lebanon into Israel.

The Israeli army has been exchanging cross-border shelling with Hezbollah, and Lebanese and Palestinian factions, since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023.
