Tehran, Iran - Israel traded fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon on Monday and continued attacks on Iran as the regional war unleashed by US-Israeli attacks entered its third day.
The Lebanese Health Ministry reported that at least 31 people were killed and 149 others injured in preliminary figures from the southern suburbs of Beirut and southern regions of the country.
Hezbollah had fired rockets at Israel in retaliation to the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who's death was confirmed Sunday morning.
US President Donald Trump also vowed to avenge the deaths of three American service members and said the war with Iran could last for weeks.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Monday they had launched missile strikes on Israeli targets, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office and other sites in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and east Jerusalem, calling it a "tenth wave" of attacks. A British base in Cyprus was also reportedly hit.
Here are the latest developments in the sprawling conflict.
