Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. Lebanon's death toll from Israeli strikes has risen to more than 600.

The UN says the war has displaced more than 800,000 people in Lebanon.

200,000 of them are children. The Israeli army is hitting southern Lebanon and the suburbs of Beirut as it targets Hezbollah strongholds.
