Lebanon Under Fire as Israel Launches Large-Scale Strikes After Ceasefire

Israel mounted intensive airstrikes across Beirut and other parts of Lebanon—its largest coordinated assault since Hezbollah joined the war—hours after a Pakistan-brokered two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire that Lebanon says did not apply to Lebanon; tolls cited by authorities varied (health ministry reporting 112 dead/837 injured and civil defense reporting 254 dead/1,165 injured) as rescuers evacuated civilians amid widespread destruction and condemnation from Lebanese leaders.
