The Israeli military conducted additional airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon on Thursday, dismissing a US-backed 21-day ceasefire proposal. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) confirmed its ongoing strikes against Hezbollah, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressing the United Nations General Assembly, rejected international pleas for de-escalation. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with Lebanon reporting over 1,500 deaths from cross-border violence. Netanyahu emphasized that the military will continue its operations "with full force" until objectives are met, amid warnings from the US of a potential all-out war.
