Israeli strikes kill civilians in Lebanon

Israeli strikes kill civilians in Lebanon

A single strike in the town of Tafahta killed 13 state security officers, leading to mass funerals and surging outrage in Sidon.

While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims the military has successfully crushed Iranian nuclear and missile programs, the human cost in Lebanon continues to mount.

Hezbollah supporters have demonstrated in Beirut to protest the government's potential engagement in direct peace talks.

The strikes have also targeted healthcare facilities, with the WHO reporting over 100 attacks on the Lebanese health sector.
