Israeli military announces ‘largest coordinated strike’ against Hezbollah since war began, carrying out a wave of airstrikes without warning on Beirut and across the country on more than 100 targets.

The attack came less than 12 hours after the Iran ceasefire announcement.

Iran and Pakistan said a ceasefire would include Lebanon, contrary to Israeli claims, but the US has yet to comment.

Up until the wave of airstrikes by Israel across Lebanon, Hezbollah had not announced any attacks against Israel – a first since the war between it and Israel began on 2 March.

The almost five weeks of war in Lebanon has brought the country to its breaking point, with more than 1.1 million people forcibly displaced… More than 1,530 people had been killed and 4,812 wounded by Israeli airstrikes, Lebanon’s ministry of health said on Tuesday.

I don’t think there’s any uncertainty about this non-ceasefire

Neither do I, and if it weren’t for the community rules, I might have dropped it off the title altogether. You’d think they’d just lost track of the time the way this is phrased, but it at least mentions the “massive wave of attacks against Lebanon”. The other articles right now use even milder terms like “sporadic attacks in the gulf” or “Israel says it will continue operations”.
