UN condemns ‘horrific’ scale of Lebanon casualties in Israeli strikes

The United Nations on Wednesday condemned the “horrific” scale of the killing in Israeli strikes on Lebanon, saying reports that hundreds of people, including civilians had been killed and injured were "appalling" ⁠just hours after the Iran ⁠cease-fire. Israel's strikes on Lebanon have been the heaviest since the conflict with Hezbollah broke out last month, even as the Iran-aligned group ⁠paused attacks on northern Israel and Israeli troops in Lebanon under a two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire.
