Lebanon's health ministry has said that 52 people have died and more than 150 have been injured in Israeli attacks.
The Israeli strikes came after Hezbollah, an Iranian militant group based in Lebanon, claimed responsibility for attacks on an Israeli missile defense base.
Joseph Aoun, the Lebanese president, for his part condemned the attacks launched from Lebanese territory, as well as the Israeli counterattacks.
He called on groups not to use Lebanon for proxy wars and warned that the operations threaten the country's security.
