Lebanon experienced one of the deadliest days in its recent history, as widespread Israeli air strikes brought horror and destruction to the country on Wednesday, just hours after a ceasefire was announced in Iran.<\/p>\n

The attacks, that came in the middle of the day without warning, killed more than 300 people, a third of them women, children and the elderly, according to the Lebanese health ministry. Some of the attacks hit busy, densely populated neighbourhoods, places that had not been targeted before and where people felt they were safe.<\/p>\n

Israel said it carried out more than 100 air strikes in just 10 minutes on what it described as targets linked to the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

BBC Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega has spoken to residents in Beirut, a city that is still in shock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
