Some of them are even north of the Litani River. That is not unique in this conflict. Israel has done these things before, but collectively, it shows that Israel\u2019s area of operations continues to expand.\u201d<\/p>\n Lebanon\u2019s Ministry of Public Health said at least 10 people were killed in Israeli attacks across the country on Saturday. The total death toll since the Israel-Hezbollah war escalated on March 2 is 2,659, with 8,183 injured, it said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The warning covers more than 10 villages and towns, including several in the district of Nabatieh that lie north of the Litani River.
