The day began with Netanyahu rejecting a ceasefire in Lebanon and preparing to address the UN. By afternoon, he delivered a controversial speech, calling the UN an "antisemitic swamp". Shortly after, Israel launched a massive airstrike on Beirut, targeting Hezbollah's headquarters. The attack, reportedly aimed at Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, used bunker-buster bombs and leveled multiple buildings. Conflicting reports emerged about Nasrallah's fate, with Hezbollah claiming he was safe. The US claimed it was unaware of the strike beforehand. Meanwhile, Italy's domestic news focused on healthcare worker protection laws and debates over naming Malpensa airport after Berlusconi. The day's events significantly escalated tensions in the Middle East, with potential far-reaching consequences.
