Israel pounds Beirut as Lebanon left out of ceasefire deal
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Israel pounded Beirut, killing dozens, despite a U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal that excluded Lebanon.
AI Summary
Israel pounded Beirut with "the most violent bombardment" since the war with Hezbollah began, killing dozens and wounding hundreds across Lebanon. These strikes occurred despite a recently agreed two-week ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran, Hezbollah's primary backer. Lebanon's government reported the casualties and extensive damage on Wednesday. This escalation suggests that the ceasefire deal, intended to de-escalate regional tensions, does not extend to Lebanon or its conflict with Israel. The ongoing conflict continues to devastate Lebanon, particularly its capital.
