Israeli strikes have killed over 40 Lebanese troops since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah​, even as Lebanon's military has largely kept to the sidelines.

Israel’s military has been intensifying operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon in an apparent attempt to pressure the militant group into a cease-fire.

Hezbollah has fired at least 185 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding seven people in the militant group's heaviest barrage in several days.
