Israel has launched a series of large-scale and intense airstrikes on Beirut, including its central suburbs, on Tuesday as tensions escalate with Hezbollah. The strikes come just hours before the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, is set to discuss and vote on a potential ceasefire agreement with the militant group. The airstrikes mark a significant escalation in the conflict, with Israel targeting areas in Lebanon amid ongoing discussions about a truce. The situation underscores the fragile state of negotiations as leaders from both sides weigh the possibility of a ceasefire.
