At least 31 people, including children, were killed after Israel launched one of its heaviest waves of air strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon since the April ceasefire. The attacks came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “press the pedal even harder” against Hezbollah. Israeli forces said more than 100 Hezbollah targets were hit overnight, while Lebanon reported widespread destruction in villages including Mashghara. Rescue teams pulled survivors, including children, from the rubble as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah continued to rise despite ongoing ceasefire efforts. (PC: BBC)
