The Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon caused smoke to billow up from the targeted area of Mahmudiyah. Despite international calls for a cease-fire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address the United Nations General Assembly in New York and vowed to continue hitting Hezbollah “with all our might,” stating that Israel will not stop until all goals are achieved. However, there is confusion around the U.S.-led ceasefire initiative, with Israel stating that they appreciate U.S. efforts and are discussing the proposal. In the last 24 hours, Lebanon’s health ministry reported 92 people killed and 154 injured in Israeli raids across southern, central, and eastern Lebanon, adding to the over 700 total casualties since the start of Israel’s new aerial offensive on Lebanon on Monday.
