Israel escalates strikes on Lebanon

Israel escalates strikes on Lebanon

In the deadliest day of the current conflict, Israeli jets targeted over 100 sites in central Beirut and southern Lebanon within minutes.

The bombardment follows a declaration by the Israeli government that it will not be bound by the regional truce agreed upon by Washington and Tehran.

Lebanese health officials report a staggering death toll, with residential and commercial areas suffering extensive damage.

This escalation has drawn sharp criticism from international observers who fear it could collapse the fragile regional ceasefire.
