Israel launched its heaviest bombardment of Lebanon since the start of its conflict with Hezbollah on Wednesday, as regional tensions deepened despite a fragile ceasefire between Tehran and Washington, and fresh violence in Gaza and diplomatic strains within NATO underscored the widening crisis.
Continuous explosions struck Beirut as Israeli forces said they targeted more than 100 Hezbollah administrative and military sites across the capital, the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon.
