Israel-Lebanon Conflict Intensifies

Israel-Lebanon Conflict Intensifies

The humanitarian crisis in Lebanon is deepening as the Israeli military ramps up its campaign against Hezbollah militants.

Rescuers in Beirut are still searching for remains under the rubble of massive strikes that hit over 100 sites earlier this week.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops in southern Lebanon, claiming that the threat of a Hezbollah invasion has been eliminated.

International pressure is mounting for a ceasefire that extends beyond the U.S.-Iran agreement to include the Lebanese front.
