The war between Iran, Israel and the United States expanded sharply Monday, drawing in Tehran-backed militias and widening the geographic scope of attacks across the Middle East.

Iran launched missiles at Israel and several Arab states, while Hezbollah attacked Israel with rockets and drones from Lebanon. Israel responded with heavy airstrikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs and southern Lebanon. Lebanese authorities reported at least 31 deaths. Israel has mobilised more than 100,000 reservists and warned of prolonged combat.

The escalation follows US-Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian officials say hundreds have died since the war began, with the Iranian Red Crescent reporting at least 555 fatalities across 131 cities.
