Israel has carried out its largest attack on Lebanon since its war with Hezbollah began, killing at least 254 people and wounding 837, an assault that prompted Iranian officials to warn Tehran could withdraw from the ceasefire agreed with the US overnight.

Warplanes levelled several buildings in the centre of Beirut, filling the skies with smoke in what Israel’s defence minister said was “a surprise strike” on the pro-Iranian group Hezbollah.

The Lebanese capital was filled with cars crumpled by the blasts and the flaming wreckage of buildings that first responders struggled to extinguish, as Israel bombed more than 100 Hezbollah military sites around the country.

The office of Israel’s prime minister said the two-week Middle East ceasefire did not include Lebanon, contrary to a statement made by mediator Pakistan – while Trump, after initially remaining silent, said Lebanon was “a separate skirmish” and not part of the deal.

Isn't it obvious Israel is doing everything they can to break the ceasefire? it's the exact same Nazi bullshit they have always done

they want the war to continue. the whole iran war is a great distraction for another ethnic cleansing and landgrab.

they are aware their time is over. it is unlikely any AIPAC'S cunt will win again. Israel is close to lose all international support. this is their swan song.

I just hope they don't get to replicate Sabra and Shatilla
