Eight Israeli soldiers killed in fighting with Hezbollah inside Lebanon, says IDF

The Israeli military and Hezbollah report ground fighting inside southern Lebanon, a day after Israel announced it was invading.

The IDF says it’s using “precision-guided munitions and close-range engagements” inside Lebanon.

It later reports the deaths of eight Israeli soldiers in combat – the first inside Lebanon since the invasion began.

Earlier, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran would “pay”, after Iran fired around 180 missiles at Israel on Tuesday.

Lebanese officials say more than 1,000 people have been killed in the past two weeks, while around a million may now be displaced.

In Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says Israeli strikes in Khan Younis killed at least 51 people.
