French President Emmanuel Macron called for the end of weapon deliveries to Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will win without France’s support. Israel’s offensive continued Saturday with strikes across Lebanon.

An Israeli strike hit Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli for the first time early on Saturday, a Lebanese security source said, after more bombardment hit Beirut's suburbs and Israeli troops sought to make new ground incursions into southern Lebanon.

The crossing into Syria was being used by thousands to flee, but the Israeli military says Hezbollah were transporting weapons along it.
