Israel conducts major airstrikes on Lebanon following U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement
Hours after a two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire was announced on Tuesday, Israel launched extensive airstrikes across Lebanon on Wednesday, killing over 200 people according to Lebanese authorities. The attacks have created a dispute over whether Lebanon is covered by the ceasefire agreement, with the U.S. and Israel saying it is not included, while Iran and Pakistani mediators claim it is. Iran has threatened to withdraw from the ceasefire and has restricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz in response.
