Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs killed at least 52 people and injured 154 on Monday, Lebanese officials said, amid escalating cross-border tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.

A previous toll shared by the health ministry said 31 people were killed and 149 wounded.

The bombings of southern and eastern Lebanon and Beirut's southern suburbs also displaced more than 28,500 people, according to the government's disaster and management unit.

Israeli warplanes carried out four airstrikes targeting Beirut's southern suburbs, reported Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA).

Later, the agency reported that Israeli aircraft carried out a fifth airstrike on the southern suburbs, as plumes of smoke rose into the sky over the area.
