The death toll from Israeli strikes on Lebanon has risen to at least 100 people with more than 400 wounded, the Lebanese Ministry of Health said Monday.

Early on Monday, Israel carried out the most intensive air campaign against what it says are Hezbollah targets in Lebanon since the conflict in Gaza started in October.

It is unclear how many of the casualties are civilians or Hezbollah militants, but many of the Israeli strikes targeted residential areas where Hezbollah has a strong presence, and local media has reported women and children among the victims.
