"As of Thursday afternoon, according to Lebanon's health minister, the death toll from Wednesday's strikes surpassed 200 people."
"Iran, on the other hand, has called the strikes a ceasefire violation, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf took to X to warn of STRONG responses."
"In a phone call on Wednesday, Trump and White House envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly encouraged Netanyahu to scale back Israel's strikes on Lebanon for the sake of preserving the negotiations with Iran."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initiated direct negotiations with Lebanon due to pressure from the Trump administration. Israel conducted extensive airstrikes against Hezbollah in Beirut, targeting 100 locations, including command centers. The strikes resulted in over 200 casualties. Hezbollah resumed attacks after a ceasefire violation, leading to tensions regarding the ceasefire terms with Iran. Iran condemned the strikes as a violation and warned of strong responses.
