Israel Bombs Beirut Suburbs as Defense Minister Rules Out Ceasefire with Lebanon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's military has bombed Beirut's southern suburb of Haret Hreik
after warning residents to flee the area. Today's attacks came after
Lebanese officials reported one person was killed and four injured after
an Israeli airstrike targeted the town of Hermel in the eastern
Baalbek-Hermel governorate. On Monday, Israel's newly appointed Defense
Minister Israel Katz ruled out even a temporary peace deal, declaring,
"There will be no ceasefire and no pause."
