    Israeli attacks have continued across Lebanon on Thursday amid talks of 21-day ceasefire.

    On Wednesday, 72 people were killed in the attack across Lebanon as the death toll from Israel’s bombings surpassed 620.

    Some 500,000 people may now have been displaced by Israel’s massive bombing campaign across Lebanon.

    Israel has continued its assault across Gaza as well, killing at least 15 Palestinians today.

    At least 41,495 people have been killed and 96,006 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. In Israel, the number killed in the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 is at least 1,139, while more than 200 people were taken captive.

    Hezbollah says rocket fired at Tel Aviv has 190km range

    Hezbollah says the ballistic missile it launched on Wednesday at Mossad headquarters near Tel Aviv carried a 500kg warhead and has a range of 190km (118 miles).

    The missile, intercepted by Israel’s David’s Sling air defense system before it reached its intended target, caused no damage or injuries.

    The attack was the furthest inside Israel attempted by Hezbollah so far, with the group saying it was revenge for Israel’s detonation of handheld communications devices across Lebanon last week.
