The Israeli army has begun mobilsing reserve soldiers in order to expand its offensive in Lebanon, according to Israel's public broadcaster KAN.

The comments came after reports that Israeli military leaders discussed on Sunday renewed strikes on Beirut. 

On Tuesday, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported continued Israeli attacks, especially south of the country. 

Since the start of March, Israel's ongoing assault has killed nearly 3,200 people in the country, and displaced over 1.6 million others.
