Israel kills over 250 in Lebanon strikes, threatening Trump ceasefire agreement

Israel conducted massive bombing campaigns against targets in Lebanon on Wednesday and Thursday, killing more than 250 people and injuring over 1,000 in what officials described as the largest attacks of the ongoing conflict. Lebanon declared a national day of mourning as hospitals became overwhelmed and rescue efforts continued in affected areas. The escalation threatens to collapse a recently negotiated ceasefire framework that the Trump administration had brokered, undermining broader Middle Eastern peace efforts. The strikes represent a dangerous escalation in the Israel-Lebanon conflict and signal potential breakdown of international diplomatic efforts.
