Intensified Israeli attacks across Lebanon

Several media outlets have reported heavy Israeli strikes across Lebanon on Sunday, particularly in Beirut and the south of the country. 

Artillery shelling was also reported in southern Lebanon, with the most recent assault recorded in Tebnine, in Tyre.

As Christians marked Easter Sunday in Lebanon, the country witnessed what news outlets have deemed one of the most violent days since the start of Israel's aggression in March. 

Since dawn, at least 11 people have been killed. 

An Israeli air strike on Kfarhata, a village in southern Lebanon, killed seven people, including a  four-year-old child. Another attack on the Jnah neighbourhood in Beirut killed four people and wounded 39 others.

According to Lebanon's health ministry, 1,461 people have been killed by Israel since 2 March, 129 of them children. More than one million people have been displaced as a result of the war.
