Israel rejected a push by allies for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon. AFPBEIRUT — Israel and Hezbollah traded fire Friday after the United States and its allies failed to secure a halt in clashes that have killed more than 700 people in Lebanon this week.
Nearly a year into the war with Hamas in Gaza, Israel shifted its focus to its northern front with Lebanon. Hours later, Hezbollah fired rockets into the north Israeli city of Tiberias, saying it was responding to “savage” strikes on Lebanese towns and villages. Since Monday alone, more than 700 people have been killed in Lebanon, according to the health ministry.“People are tired mentally… I don’t see on the horizon… or even a ray of light.”
Netanyahu’s office said he had “not even responded” to the proposal, and that he had ordered the military “to continue the fighting with full force”.
