The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have targeted 100 Lebanese sites in 10 minutes, hours after the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire which mediators say included Lebanon. A video on social media shows buildings decimated in Beirut, with fires raging on street level and smoke billowing into the sky. In a statement on Telegram, the IDF said the bombings mark “the largest strike carried out” yet in Beirut, the Bekaa valley and southern Lebanon since the start of the current operation. Local reports say around 200 people have been killed, including many civilians, but the Lebanese health ministry is yet to corroborate numbers. In a southern suburb of Beirut, a strike on a supermarket led to loud calls for blood donations after multiple people were wounded, reported Libranews. The IDF said it had completed “a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting Hezbollah command centres and military sites”. Independent Lebanese journalist Sarah Abdallah wrote on X: “Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now. This isn’t a ceasefire. It’s a mass bombardment of civilian areas.”
