Lebanon and Israel to hold first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington
AI Summary
Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday targeted over 100 locations in Lebanon, resulting in over 300 deaths and 1,165 injuries in just 10 minutes. The strikes, which Israel claims targeted Hezbollah command centers as part of "Operation Eternal Darkness," hit densely populated residential areas of Beirut. First responders and residents described scenes of devastation, with many civilians, including children, among the casualties. The strikes used 1,000lb bombs. Lebanese officials, including Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, condemned the attacks, asserting that they primarily killed civilians. The death toll surpassed that of the 2020 Beirut port explosion, and is expected to rise as rescue efforts continue.
