At least 254 people were killed Wednesday when Israel attacked over 100 targets "within 10 minutes" across Lebanon, including dense commercial and residential areas in the capital, Beirut.
The Lebanese civil defense said 254 people were killed, while the country's health ministry said 837 people were injured in Israel's attacks.
The attack, which disregarded the U.S.-Iran cease-fire, was the "largest" coordinated Israeli strike since the start of its current offensive in the country, the military said.
A military statement claimed that the attacks targeted sites linked to Hezbollah across multiple areas in Beirut, the Beqaa Valley and southern Lebanon.
Black smoke towered over several parts of the seaside capital. Explosions interrupted the honking of traffic on what had been a bustling, blue-sky afternoon.
