Israel’s ground invasion in Lebanon has stretched into its second week, as the Hezbollah militant group fired hundreds of rockets deep into Israel with no end in sight to the escalating conflict.

More than 1,400 people have been killed in Lebanon – mostly in airstrikes – and over a million displaced since the fighting intensified in mid-September.
