Israel continued to strike Beirut on Friday (March 27) as UNICEF says at least 121 children have been killed and 399 injured in Lebanon since the latest escalation began.

Israel has launched heavy air strikes and a ground assault on Lebanon in parallel with the war in Iran, after Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah militia fired into Israel in solidarity with Tehran on March 2.

Israeli forces have told Lebanese to leave their homes across around 15% of the country, including the entire south.
