Israel Escalates Lebanon Strikes

Hours after the U.S.-Iran ceasefire was announced, Israel intensified its military campaign against Hezbollah with a massive wave of strikes across Lebanon.

The Israeli military reported hitting 100 targets in just ten minutes, causing significant casualties in Beirut and southern regions.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has explicitly stated that Lebanon is excluded from the regional truce, creating immediate friction with mediators.

This escalation has displaced thousands and raised fears that the broader ceasefire could collapse if regional violence persists.
