Israel's continuing air strikes may have already forced as many as one million people from their homes across Lebanon, the country's prime minister has said.
"It is the largest displacement movement that may have happened," Najib Mikati said.
Lebanon's health ministry reported more than 50 people killed in Sunday's strikes - two days after Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Meanwhile, Hezbollah fired more rockets into northern Israel.
In a separate development, Israel said it had carried out "large-scale" air strikes on military targets of the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen.
