BEIRUT, LEBANON - APRIL 8: Rescue workers search the rubble for survivors and casualties after an Israeli attack targeted a residential building on April 8, 2026 in Beirut, Lebanon. Israel has stepped-up its attacks on Lebanon following President Donald Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. Israel says it will observe the ceasefire with Iran but insists Lebanon was not included in the deal, and has since launched the "largest coordinated strike" on Hezbollah targets since the resumption of the cross-border war on March 2. Iran and Pakistan - which has been coordinating peace talks - have said that the ceasefire included Lebanon, while US President Donald Trump has said Lebanon is a "separate skirmish," and not part of the deal.
