Israel targets Hezbollah in Lebanon

Israel targets Hezbollah in Lebanon

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has intensified significantly, with Israeli jets striking targets across Beirut and southern Lebanon.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the war is 'not yet over,' despite ongoing international pressure for a ceasefire.

Rescue workers are struggling to recover bodies from the rubble of destroyed buildings, while thousands of civilians continue to flee the violence.

The escalation comes just days before rare direct talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials are scheduled to take place in Washington.
