STORYLINE:
Israeli airstrikes on Monday hit more buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs of Dahiyeh, setting off explosions and sending large clouds of smoke billowing over the Lebanese capital.
In a warning notice on X, a spokesman for the Israeli military said that the airstrikes were targeting "Hezbollah facilities and interests," without providing further details.
Lebanon’s deputy parliament speaker has accused Israel of ramping up its bombardment of Lebanon in order to pressure the government to make concessions in indirect ceasefire negotiations with Hezbollah.
Elias Bousaab, an ally of the militant group, said Monday that the pressure has increased because "we are close to the hour that is decisive regarding reaching a ceasefire."
Since late September, Israel has dramatically escalated its bombardment of Lebanon, vowing to severely weaken the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and end its barrages in Israel that the militants have said are in solidarity with Palestinians during the war in Gaza.
More than 3,500 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli fire — 80% of them in the past eight weeks — according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
In Israel, 77 people, including 31 soldiers, have been killed by Hezbollah projectiles.
