Israel Intensifies Lebanon Air Campaign

The Lebanese Health Ministry reports hundreds of casualties as Israeli fighter jets target dense residential and commercial areas in central Beirut and the Bekaa Valley.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel remains prepared to return to battle at any moment to complete its strategic objectives in the region.

This offensive has created a significant diplomatic rift, as Iran warns that continued strikes on Lebanon constitute a violation of the newly brokered truce.

Human rights organizations have condemned the scale of the destruction, describing the humanitarian situation as horrific and rapidly deteriorating.
