Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati denounced a "destructive plan" amid intense Israeli strikes Monday on east and south Lebanon and as Israel's military said it attacked some 150 Hezbollah targets.
"The continuing Israeli aggression on Lebanon is a war of extermination in every sense of the word and a destructive plan that aims to destroy Lebanese villages and towns," Mikati told a cabinet meeting.
He urged "the United Nations and the General Assembly and influential countries... to deter the (Israeli) aggression".
Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it targeted three sites in northern Israel including military production facilities in retaliation for the intense Israeli strikes on south and east Lebanon.
"In response to the Israeli enemy attacks that targeted the south and Bekaa areas", Hezbollah fighters bombed two north Israel military positions as well as the "Rafael defense industry complexes" north of the city of Haifa, the group said in a statement.
