Israel Bombs Beirut and Expands Assault on Southern Lebanon

HeadlineMay 29, 2026

Israel intensified its assault on Lebanon on Thursday, bombing Beirut for the first time in three weeks, even as Israeli ground forces pushed deeper into southern Lebanon and issued new forced displacement orders for residents. The United Nations reports 15 children are among those killed by Israeli strikes on Lebanon over the past week. Sixty-two children have been wounded in the attacks, which continue despite the U.S.-brokered, so-called ceasefire agreement Israel signed with Lebanon in April.
