Israel says it is "broadening" its strikes against Hezbollah as citizens in southern Lebanon have received phone messages warning them to leave places used by the Iran-backed group
Lebanon's prime minister says Israel's actions amount to "a war of extermination", while Israel's defence minister says strikes will continue "until we achieve our goals - to return the residents of the north safely to their homes"

V #BBCNews Frank Gardner:
An all out war is "not inevitable and there are very good reasons for both sides to be constrained. In April I think it looked really close to being a much wider scale war that drew in Iran and the US and others. Things were very serious then, but they managed to march both sides down from the brink"."In this particular case, it's a case of who blinks first, and Israel is clearly hoping to so degrade Hezbollah's ability to hit it."
