Israel bombed more targets in Lebanon, putting the US-Iran ceasefire into further jeopardy after the war's biggest Israeli attacks on its neighbor so far killed more than 250 people.

Rescuers searched for survivors after the heaviest wave of Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon since the current fighting with Hezbollah began. Israel says it hit more than 100 Hezbollah sites within minutes, killing hundreds and wounding many more. Evacuation warnings were issued in some areas, but not all. The attacks came despite a disputed two‑week ceasefire involving the US, Israel and Iran, leaving Lebanon caught between claims of truce and threats of escalation.
