Huge majority of Beirut abandoned as Israeli strikes continue on Lebanon

ITV News has travelled to Lebanon where around 95% of people in southern Beirut have left their homes, after continued strikes by Israel. That’s despite US President Donald Trump saying in recent days that both sides had agreed to a ceasefire.

The strikes killed at least 8 people, including two children.

The ongoing fighting risks derailing Trump’s efforts to end the war with Iran, as Lebanon has been made a key part of its negotiations.
