Toll mounting in Lebanon, Israel snubs ceasefire plan
Hezbollah, defying calls from allies including the US for a halt in fighting.
Israeli warplanes bombarded Lebanon, including a strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut that shook the capital. On its own side of the border, the Israeli army staged an exercise simulating a ground invasion. The relentless pressure on Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, including intense airstrikes and assassinations of some of its senior commanders, raised concern that of a wider war spreading across the region.
The military, which has vowed to secure Israel's northern border and return thousands of Israeli citizens to communities there, said the exercise of its 7th brigade took place a few kilometres from the Lebanese border.
Shortly afterwards the military said it was carrying out precise strikes in Beirut. The attack targeted a senior Hezbollah leader whose fate was not immediately known, a security source told Reuters. The strike hit near a part of the southern suburbs where several of the Lebanese armed group's facilities are located but where many civilians also live and work.
«There will be no ceasefire in the north,» Israeli foreign minister Israel Katz said on X. «We will continue to fight against the Hezbollah terrorist organization with all our strength until victory and the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes.»
