Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Escalate Following US-Iran Ceasefire

The two-week US-Iran ceasefire is jeopardized by escalating Israeli hostilities in Lebanon. Israeli strikes across Lebanon on Wednesday killed at least 300 people, including 33 children and four soldiers, and wounded more than 1,150 Lebanese in less than 24 hours. On Friday, airstrikes in Nabatiyeh killed at least 23 people, including 13 personnel from Lebanon State Security Agency. On Saturday, strikes in the Nabatiyeh district killed 10 people, including three emergency workers. These attacks increased in frequency and intensity following a ceasefire declared between the US and Iran last Tuesday.
