Fear Of War Increases As Israel, Lebanon Continue Their Strikes

Worries of a full-out war are on the rise as Israel and Lebanon continue pounding each other with rockets. The deadliest airstrike on Lebanon by Israel on Monday killed at least 492 people, including over 90 women and children. The recently escalated tensions were triggered by the pagers and walkie-talkies' explosion in Lebanon last week.
