Israel Continues Strikes in Lebanon

The war in Lebanon has escalated as Israeli tanks advanced on the southern town of Bint Jbeil while heavy air strikes hit the port city of Tyre.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops near the border, declaring that the threat of a Hezbollah invasion has been 'thwarted' but that operations will continue.

Humanitarian organizations have warned that the Lebanese healthcare system is on the verge of collapse as hospitals struggle to manage the influx of casualties.

Direct talks between Lebanese, Israeli, and U.S. officials are scheduled for Tuesday in Washington, though a resolution remains elusive.
