Israel pounds Lebanon despite truce

Israel pounds Lebanon despite truce

The Lebanese capital of Beirut and southern regions have been devastated by a massive wave of coordinated Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah command centers.

Despite the regional ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, the Israeli military has intensified its campaign, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties.

This escalation has created a significant humanitarian crisis, with nearly one-fifth of the Lebanese population now displaced.

International observers warn that these continued attacks could provoke an Iranian withdrawal from the fragile peace agreement.
