Over 1,000 people in Lebanon have been killed in the last two weeks.
Israel's Lebanon operation continues as leaders consider their response to Iran's long-range attack on Tuesday, in which hundreds of missiles were fired into the country, according to Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.
Iran said the unprecedented attack was retaliation for a wave of assassinations carried out by Israel over the last several weeks targeting Hezbollah, including leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Most of the missiles were intercepted, but "several hits were identified, and the damage is being assessed," an Israeli security official said.

He said they will act again in the future "if needed."
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met with the Lebanese caretaker prime minister in Beirut on Friday, saying his visit to the capital was to show Iran's support for Hezbollah.
