Israel launched its heaviest and most coordinated air assault on Lebanon on Wednesday since the US-Iran war began, killing over 200 people.
Israeli strikes have pummelled Lebanon over the past day, calling into question the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
There had been conflicting messages about whether the fighting in Lebanon was included in the truce, with mediator Pakistan saying it was and Israel insisting that it was not.
Dawn takes a look at some scenes coming from Lebanon, where grey plumes from strikes cloud the skies and rescuers scour through rubble and burnt structures to find survivors.
