They committed one of the largest mass killings in the last four decades in Lebanon in just under 10 minutes.
It 's sort of hard to imagine that the people in the negotiating room did n't realize that Lebanon
could be the stumbling block that breaks the ceasefire.
Because Iran was very clear, Pakistan was very clear that Lebanon should be included.
I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding.
I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't.
We never made that promise.
It seems like Israel is determined to make sure that whatever ceasefire happens, it doesn't happen in Lebanon.
It wants this war to keep going.
Israel bombards Lebanon with a massive wave of airstrikes,
including in Beirut, which Iran now says is a blatant violation of the ceasefire.
So is the agreement already collapsing?
From the Guardians today in Focus, this is the latest with me, Lucy Hoth.
Well, I'm joined by Will Christou, a Guardian reporter based in Beirut.
Will, thanks so much for dialing in.
You're in East Beirut at the moment, right?
After sort of extraordinary 24 hours of Israeli strikes and violence, including in Beirut where you are.
I mean. 100 bombs in 10 minutes, hospitals reported to be in a very overwhelmed and dire condition, and hundreds killed.
Just tell me what it's like, where you are, and what the last 24 hours have been like.
