Netanyahu Says Talks Coming as Israeli Strikes Hit Beirut, Kill Over 300 After Iran Ceasefire
Israeli airstrikes struck central Beirut on Wednesday in what officials described as the most intense bombardment of the capital in the current phase of the Israel-Hezbollah war, killing at least 300 people and wounding over 1,000 more, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. The strikes hit densely populated commercial and residential districts without warning, transforming what had been a busy midday in the seaside city into a scene of devastation.
