Israel Escalates Strikes on Lebanon

In the heaviest aerial assault since the war began, Israeli jets struck over 100 targets in just ten minutes, hitting residential and commercial areas of Beirut.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel remains prepared to return to full-scale battle at any moment to complete its military objectives.

Lebanese officials have condemned the strikes as a dangerous turning point that ignores the spirit of the newly brokered peace deal.

The escalation has prompted Iran to threaten retaliation and re-close the Strait of Hormuz in protest.
