Israel strikes Lebanon during funeral

Israel strikes Lebanon during funeral

The victim, who was less than two years old, was among several relatives killed in the barrage that struck the funeral procession.

Rescue workers in Beirut are also continuing to search for bodies beneath the rubble following a massive 10-minute bombardment earlier this week that killed over 350 people.

Israel's energy minister has called for further strikes on Lebanese civilian infrastructure, while the IDF claims to have uncovered a Hezbollah weapons stash inside a hospital.

The escalating violence has cast serious doubt on the sustainability of the U.S.-brokered truce.
