Israel responds to Lebanon's request for talks with new round of strikes

Israel has kept up its pressure campaign on Hezbollah with a new wave of airstrikes on Tuesday in Lebanon despite Lebanese leaders calling for talks with its southern neighbor.

Lebanon has felt the brunt of Israel’s attacks outside of Iran since the start of the war on Feb. 28, as Iran-backed Hezbollah is largely based within the country. Hezbollah launched an attack on an Israeli defense facility after the news broke about the death of former Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leading to Israel’s retaliation.
