Lebanon’s parliament speaker calls Israeli strikes ‘full-fledged war crime’ Lebanon’s parliament speaker has condemned Israeli latest strikes as a “full-fledged war crime” as Beirut comes under its biggest attack, just hours after a ceasefire was agreed upon between US and Iran. Nabih Berri said the strikes targeted southern suburbs of Beirut, large areas of the Bekaa Valley, Mount Lebanon, Sidon and several villages in southern Lebanon, resulting in the killings and injuries of hundreds of civilians in densely populated neighbourhoods. “Today’s crime is a serious test for the international community and a blatant challenge to all international laws, norms, and conventions, which Israel violates through its continued targeting of civilians,” Berri said. He called on Lebanon’s political, religious and civil leaders to “unite in solidarity,” with the victims as the country continues to face what he described as “the brutality of the Israeli killing machine in its war of extermination against Lebanon”. |

This is one of the most devastating days of the war in Lebanon By Heidi Pett The Israeli army launched what it said were 100 air strikes at multiple locations across Lebanon in a span of 10 minutes. I am at the scene of one of them in central Beirut. The devastation is extraordinary. These strikes came without warning. They came at a moment of confusion across Lebanon as to whether the regional ceasefire applied here. We had statements from Pakistan’s PM saying it did apply. Then, at 6am, we had Netanyahu saying that, no, the ceasefire did not apply to Lebanon and the Israeli army has made that abundantly clear this afternoon. We are having mass casualty events declared at multiple hospitals. Authorities here are calling for doctors, nurses, and anyone with medical experience to go to the locations. |
