Israel has intensified its military strikes in Lebanon, conducting its heaviest attacks since the conflict began last month. Targeting over 100 Hezbollah command centers in Beirut, these operations have resulted in more than 1,500 deaths, including over 130 children and 100 women. The escalation comes despite a two-week truce between the United States and Iran, which covers various regional issues but does not include Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that military actions against Hezbollah would persist, and the military spokesperson reiterated that the ceasefire does not extend to Lebanon.
