A Lebanese minister has accused Israel of taking ‘the region to war’ as Israel continues to target Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.

Israeli forces say they killed 16 Hezbollah fighters including one top commander – Ibrahim Aqil – in an airstrike on the Lebanese capital Beirut, yesterday.

In response, Hezbollah says it has fired rockets at two Israeli military positions in Northern Israel.
