Israeli strikes kill 350+ in Lebanon as rescuers search Beirut rubble

Israeli forces conducted a 10-minute barrage striking over 100 sites across Lebanon on April 8, 2026, killing more than 350 people with the death toll expected to rise as unidentified bodies undergo DNA testing. Rescue workers continue searching for remains in Beirut four days after the strikes, while southern Lebanon faces ongoing intense bombardment with dozens of additional airstrikes reported. The escalation marks a significant intensification of Israeli-Lebanese military operations and poses implications for regional stability and potential humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. Strikes on Beirut have temporarily paused, but military operations in the south continue.
