Israel strikes Lebanon amid funeral

The conflict in Lebanon has reached a new level of intensity as Israeli air strikes hit the city of Tyre and the town of Bint Jbeil.

One strike tragically killed an infant girl during her father's funeral, highlighting the severe civilian toll of the ongoing warfare.

The Israeli military maintains that its targets are Hezbollah stashes and command centers embedded within residential areas.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah continues to reject direct negotiations, vowing to maintain its resistance as the humanitarian crisis in the region deepens.
