Despite calls from the US and other allies for a ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed that the country's military will continue fighting with “full force” against the armed group Hezbollah.
Israeli air strikes on Thursday killed at least 92 people, with hundreds more killed since the strikes escalated on Monday, Lebanon's health ministry stated.
An air strike on an apartment building in the south of Beirut killed the head of its drone unit, Mohammad Surur, Hezbollah disclosed.
After a dramatic escalation in Israeli strikes on Lebanon since Monday, fears of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah is at a high.
The increase in hostilities prompted a 12-strong bloc - including the US, UK and EU - to propose a three week ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on Wednesday.
Though statement from Israeli ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon that his country was “open to ideas” initially raised hope of a ceasefire, Israeli politicians however, rejected the statement on Thursday.
