Lebanese emergency services are overwhelmed, need better gear to save lives

When Israel bombed buildings outside the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, Mohamed Arkadan and his team rushed to an emergency unlike anything they had ever seen. About a dozen apartments had collapsed onto the hillside they once overlooked, burying more than 100 people. Even after 17 years with the civil defense forces of one of the world's most war-torn nations, Arkadan was shocked at the destruction. By Monday afternoon about 24 hours after the bombing his team had pulled more than 40 bodies including children's from the rubble, along with 60 survivors.

All about Iran's missile barrage, Israel's ground operations in Lebanon

An Israeli security official said most of the missiles were intercepted, though some managed to land. Israeli officials said Iran would pay a price for the strike. The missile attack came after Israel said ground troops crossed into Lebanon overnight, launching what the military described as a limited operation to root out Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure. Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it saw no sign of Israeli forces and that its troops were ready to confront them. Israel said the incursion would be focused on the narrow strip of land just across the border.
