Israel’s military launched airstrikes across Lebanon on Monday, unleashing explosions throughout the country and killing at least 31.
The attacks came as Israeli leaders appeared to be closing in on a negotiated ceasefire with the Hezbollah militant group.
Israeli strikes hit commercial and residential buildings in Beirut, as well as the port city of Tyre.
Military officials said they targeted areas known as Hezbollah strongholds.
They issued evacuation orders for Beirut’s southern suburbs, and strikes landed across the city, including meters from a Lebanese police base and the city’s largest public park.
The barrage came as officials indicated they were nearing agreement on a ceasefire, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Security Cabinet prepared to discuss an offer on the table.
