Israel launches multiple airstrikes on residential buildings in southern Beirut, in what has been described as an “unprecedented” attack. Among the victims are children, as rescuers search through the rubble. Israel’s military intensified its assault on Beirut, dismissing international calls for a ceasefire with Hezbollah, escalating a bombing campaign that has claimed over 700 lives in Lebanon since Monday. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa told the UN Security Council that Israel must be held accountable for “crimes” committed in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
