Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address the nation following a security cabinet meeting to discuss a potential ceasefire with Hezbollah. Earlier today, Israeli airstrikes targeted central Beirut, killing 7 and injuring 37, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Strikes focused on areas linked to Hezbollah, prompting mass evacuations and chaos in the city. Israel's military reported 10 rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, with some intercepted. As tensions escalate, both sides face international pressure to halt the violence. Lebanon's foreign minister expressed hope for a ceasefire deal by tonight. Netanyahu's statement is expected shortly.
