Israeli forces have conducted a widespread bombardment across southern Lebanon, targeting over 60 towns with dozens of airstrikes and artillery fire over a four-hour period. The scale of the strikes represents a significant escalation, with over 40 airstrikes reported in just the last two hours alone. The bombardment comes amid a fragile, newly announced ceasefire, which appears to be breaking down under the weight of the renewed Israeli offensive. Lebanese media and social channels are reporting extensive damage across the southern region.
