Israel conducted intense strikes across Lebanon, killing at least nine people in the south and hitting a highway near Beirut. These attacks occurred despite a three-week-old ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Israel carried out strikes across Lebanon on Saturday, killing at least nine people in the south according to authorities, with raids also targeting a highway not far from Beirut outside of Hezbollah's traditional strongholds. The fresh attacks were some of the most intense since the start of a three-week-old ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah that has done little to halt daily exchanges of fire, mostly in southern Lebanon.
