The Israeli military has heavily attacked Lebanon, targeting more than 100 sites in just 10 minutes in its largest coordinated attacks since the start of the war.
Lebanon's Health Ministry announced that at least 182 people have been killed and more than 800 injured.
At the site of Beirut's biggest airstrike, emergency workers searched through damaged buildings for hours. Amid the rubble were images of interrupted lives, photos of smiling families, clothes, unfinished schoolwork. It was hard to believe the extent of the destruction in an area so close to the center of the capital.
Abdelkader Mahfouz came to visit his brother who had been injured in the attack.
"There were a lot of body parts here. Just people getting hurt. What are people supposed to do? We can't do anything. I wish I was a bomb so I could blow up whoever is responsible for this. The enemy has no mercy," he said.
Many people in Lebanon are angry with Hezbollah, saying it has dragged the country into an unwanted war. But they also blame Israel for so much of the destruction in the country.
Hezbollah says it has the right to respond to Israeli attacks and has fired rockets into northern Israel, while disagreement continues over whether Lebanon is part of the ceasefire.
French President Emmanuel Macron demanded that the two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran include a halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
"The ceasefire in the Middle East must include Lebanon to be credible and sustainable," French President Emmanuel Macron warned during two separate phone calls with US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres also "strongly condemns the massive Israeli attacks across Lebanon on April 8" and calls on "all parties to immediately cease hostilities," a statement from his spokesman said.
