Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari says 440 Hezbollah fighters have been killed since the start of Israel's ground invasion into Southern Lebanon on Monday night.

He says that includes 30 commanders.

Hezbollah has not said how many of its members have been killed.

More Israeli air strikes hit Beirut after the Israeli military warned people in a southern suburb to evacuate.

Hezbollah fires dozens of rockets into northern Israel - the group says an air base near Haifa was among the targets.

The IDF and Hamas confirm two senior Hamas figures were killed in Northern Lebanon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Iran’s missile attack on his country earlier this week as one of the largest ballistic missile attacks in history.

He says no country in the world would accept such an attack on its cities and citizens, and Israel will not accept it either.

Netanyahu says Israel has the duty and the right to defend itself and respond to these attacks, and they will do so.
