70% of the reported 30,000 fatalities are children and women. More than 7,000 people are missing and presumed dead.

The Israeli Defense Forces’ Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi warned on Tuesday that Hezbollah must pay a heavy price for its repeated attacks on Israel.

The warning came after a Hezbollah missile hit an air traffic control base atop Mount Meron  Tuesday afternoon, causing only minor damage.

Israeli media said Hezbollah fired about 20 anti-tank missiles into the Mount Meron area, the second missile attack by Hezbollah on Israeli targets in 24 hours. The first attack included 60 missiles fired at an IDF base in the Golan Heights.
