The number of victims of Israeli strikes on Lebanon since the escalation in the Middle East has risen to 850. This was reported by Reuters, citing the Ministry of Health of the republic.

Earlier, the Axios portal, citing unnamed American and Israeli officials, reported that Israel plans to begin a large-scale invasion of Lebanon aimed at destroying the military infrastructure of Hezbollah. According to the publication's sources, the plan is to capture all territory south of the Litani River.

On March 12, it became known that Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened Lebanon with an attack if it fails to restrain the Shiite movement. He warned Lebanese leader Joseph Aoun that if his country cannot prevent Hezbollah from attacking Israelis, Israel will "capture territory" and will itself resist the Shiites.
