Israel Continues Deadly Assault on Lebanon Even as News of Ceasefire Deal Emerges
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel is continuing to bombard Lebanon. On Saturday, an Israeli
airstrike in central Beirut killed at least 29 people and injured 67
others. Survivors said no warning was issued before the attack.

Jomana Makkie: "What can I tell you? We escaped from Beirut's southern
suburbs, Dahiyeh, and we said we'd take shelter in Beirut because it's
safe. What happened in Dahiyeh has happened to Beirut. At least in
Dahiyeh, there's warnings, and people leave. In Beirut, it happens
without warning, crime after crime, children killed. It's enough, what
happened in Gaza and what's happening here and what happened in
Dahiyeh."

Hezbollah responded by firing about 250 projectiles into Israel. This
all comes as new reports are circulating that the Israeli government has
"agreed in principle" to a ceasefire in Lebanon.
