"At least 254 people were killed and more than 1,160 were injured in dozens of attacks on Beirut, its suburbs, the south of the country and the eastern Bekaa Valley. There are fears the toll could rise as more victims are recovered from the rubble following the strikes."
"Israel intensified its war on Lebanon for the second time in less than two years in early March following a salvo of rockets launched by the Lebanese group Hezbollah."
"Netanyahu wants to take advantage of the fluid situation to maximise operational achievements in Lebanon, while a US-Iran deal might complicate the Israeli war effort against Hezbollah."
Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 254 people and injured over 1,160 in Lebanon, marking a severe escalation in violence. The attacks occurred shortly after a ceasefire negotiated by Pakistan between the US and Iran, leading to confusion about Lebanon's inclusion in the truce. While Pakistan and Iran claimed Lebanon was part of the agreement, Israel and the US disagreed. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu aims to exploit the situation to achieve military objectives against Hezbollah, complicating the broader US-Iran negotiations.
