Up to 25,000 Australians may be trapped in Lebanon as Israel intensifies its attacks on the country.

Lebanon is effectively cut off from the outside world after Israel blocked the only remaining route of escape from the country.

Israel's military this morning launched airstrikes on the international highway linking Lebanon's capital, Beirut, to the Syrian capital, Damascus.
