A more accurate reading is that Israel violated the day old ceasefire with a surprise attack that produced the highest Lebanese casualty count since the current conflict began. [0]
From the article:
Israel carries out its largest strikes in Beirut
Israel carried out its largest attack in Lebanon since the start of the war last month, after asserting that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal did not include its fight against Lebanon's Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
A series of Israeli airstrikes hit multiple neighborhoods in the heart of Beirut during morning rush hour, causing panic around the capital.
Lebanon's health minister said 89 people were killed and 722 wounded, as they continued pulling people out of the rubble.
Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani explained why Israel made a surprise attack. "Leading up to this operation, we've seen Hezbollah disperse over different areas, taking advantage of the warnings that we provide for civilians to also hide for themselves among the civilians, moving, trying to scatter their operations in different locations and to hide behind civilian locations," he said.

"Cease-fire on all fronts, including Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon."

- tim-tday 7mo agoI can’t imagine Israel doing that by accident. They deliberately violated the ceasefire. That’s the only rational explanation. My remaining question is why? How does violating the ceasefire and / or keeping the strait of Hormuz closed serve their interests?
