Israel Launches 100 Airstrikes on Lebanon Hours After Trump Ceasefire Announcement
### Israel's Attacks Create 'Apocalyptic Scenes' in Lebanon Following Trump Ceasefire Announcement
Beirut experienced intense bombardment as Israel conducted around 100 airstrikes on Lebanon within a ten-minute period. This attack occurred just hours after former President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire. Strikes targeted various regions, including South Lebanon, Beirut, and the Bekaa Valley, resulting in catastrophic scenes in the capital.
The rapid escalation in conflict raises serious concerns about the safety of civilians. "Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon's capital right now. Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes. Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously. This isn't a ceasefire. It's mass bombardment of civilian areas," commented a social media user describing the devastation in Beirut.
Witnesses report that many neighborhoods, particularly those already housing displaced individuals, faced the brunt of these aerial assaults. "Around 100 Israeli strikes without prior warning hit Lebanon in under 10 minutes. Civilians are bearing the brunt including in Beirut neighbourhoods sheltering those already displaced. It cannot be said enough: civilians are not a target. They must be protected," said another observer, emphasizing the critical situation for non-combatants caught in the crossfire.
