A massive wave of Israeli strikes hit Lebanon on Wednesday, killing at least 254 people, just hours after a ceasefire between Iran and the US was agreed.
Lebanon’s Civild Defense said at least 1,165 people were wounded across the country, with the capital Beirut hit by the most violent bombardment since the start of the current war.
The Israeli military carried out several simultaneous strikes on central Beirut and its suburbs without warning, triggering widespread panic on the capital’s streets.
A series of air strikes were also launched in several areas in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa in the east.
Bulldozers were clearing rubble from the streets to make way for ambulances transporting dozens of people to hospitals across Beirut.
