In Lebanon, fears are growing of war with Israel as hundreds of residents near the border are already sheltering or fleeing cross-border attacks.
Lebanon’s population of 6 million may be “used to” war, as one Beirut resident told Al Jazeera, but the escalating conflict comes as the country is still recovering from recent economic turmoil.
According to Hezbollah, three of the Lebanese Shia group’s members were killed by Israeli shelling on Monday. An Israeli deputy commander and two Palestinian fighters in southern Lebanon have also died in the cross-border violence.

Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem reports from Naqoura, southern Lebanon.
