Israel intensifies strikes on Lebanon

Israel intensifies strikes on Lebanon

Hospitals in Beirut are reportedly running out of life-saving supplies as casualties overwhelm the medical system following the heavy bombardment.

The Lebanese government has insisted that no meaningful negotiations can occur while 'bombs are falling over our heads,' accusing Israel of war crimes.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah has responded with rocket fire into northern Israel, damaging historic sites and displacing thousands of residents.

The intensifying conflict in Lebanon threatens to derail the broader US-Iran peace talks scheduled in Pakistan, as Tehran demands an end to the strikes as a precondition for dialogue.
