Lebanon's hospitals are struggling to manage casualties after Israeli strikes intensified, resulting in over 560 deaths, including 50 children, according to the health ministry. Health Minister Dr. Firas Abiad described Monday as the "deadliest day" since the civil war ended in 1990, calling it "carnage." In a direct address to Lebanese citizens, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clarified that the conflict is with Hezbollah, not the people of Lebanon. Amid these tensions, Israel reported killing a Hezbollah commander in Beirut, while Hezbollah vowed to resist Israeli "aggression" and support Palestinians in Gaza.
