More air strikes have been reported in southern Beirut and Lebanon, as Israel tells more than 30 villages in the south to evacuate.
A major road out of Lebanon was hit overnight - pictures show a large crater near the border crossing into Syria, where thousands of people have been fleeing.
Israel says the route was being used to transport weapons.
Meanwhile, rockets continue to be fired into Israel from Lebanon.
Lebanon's health ministry said earlier 37 people have been killed in Israeli ground and air attacks in the past 24 hours; more than 2,000 people have been killed since last October.
In Iran, the supreme leader defended his country's missile attack on Israel earlier this week as a "minimum punishment" in a rare public speech.
