Recent Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have resulted in over 180 confirmed deaths, with reports indicating the toll could rise as the situation develops. The strikes, which Israel claims are aimed at Hezbollah, have devastated parts of central Beirut, raising fears among civilians who had believed there was a ceasefire in place. Despite international calls for a cessation of hostilities, including pleas from European leaders, the Israeli military intensified its operations, citing a lack of applicability of any Iranian ceasefire agreement to Lebanon. The humanitarian impact is severe, with hospitals targeted, and many civilians leaving their homes in search of safety. Reports of heavy bombardment have led to urgent calls from organizations like the ICRC for the protection of civilians as Lebanon grapples with the aftermath of these devastating attacks.
