As the US and Iran prepare for talks in Pakistan, Israel continues to bombard Lebanon after killing more than 300 people and injuring at least 1,150 in a single day of strikes across the country on Wednesday. 
World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has called on Israel to withdraw a forced evacuation order affecting two key hospitals in Lebanon’s Beirut area as the country’s health system struggles to treat civilian casualties of Israeli attacks. 
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says if the US is willing to “crater its economy” by continuing to allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “kill diplomacy” by not adhering to the ceasefire, that would be Washington’s “choice”, adding, “We think that would be dumb but are prepared for it.” 
Netanyahu says instructions have been issued to start direct negotiations with Lebanon, while Israeli media reports that the country’s defence minister said “the war will not be stopped”.
