Israel's Devastating Airstrike Wave Leaves At Least 254 Dead in Lebanon

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Israel has launched its largest attack on Lebanon since the war with Hezbollah began, leaving at least 254 people dead and over 837 wounded.

Warplanes have levelled several buildings in the centre of Beirut, filling the skies with smoke in what Israel's defence minister has described as 'a surprise strike' on the pro-Iranian group Hezbollah.

The Lebanese capital is filled with crumpled cars and the flaming wreckage of buildings that first responders are struggling to extinguish, as Israel bombs over 100 Hezbollah military sites around the country.

Hospitals in Lebanon are issuing urgent calls for blood donations, while the ministry of health is urging people to 'clear the streets' so ambulances can reach the injured.

Iranian officials have warned that Tehran could withdraw from the ceasefire agreement with the US if Israel 'persists in violating the truce in Lebanon', as the crisis is discussed by Iran's foreign minister and his Pakistani counterpart.

The Israeli defence minister has threatened Hezbollah's leader, saying that 'Hezbollah will pay a very heavy price for attacking Israel'.
