Israel pounds Beirut suburbs and south Lebanon after Hezbollah rocket barrage

SOS Children’s Villages International has acknowledged that more than 140 children were taken to its facilities by Syrian security services.

Beirut had until now largely been spared even as both Israel and Hezbollah accused each other of breaking last month’s ceasefire.

The rescue could impact how Trump views a ground operation to take Kharg Island or to seize enriched uranium sites.
