AP photographers in Lebanon talked about the impactful images they took on Wednesday, the deadliest day in the country since the renewed war between Israel and Iranian-backed militant group, Hezbollah that erupted on March.
More than 300 people were killed in Lebanon, most of them in Beirut, as more remains were pulled from rubble and bodies are waiting to be identified at hospitals.
The Health Ministry said that 1,150 people were also wounded in the widespread strikes that rocked Lebanon including in busy parts of Beirut.
Meanwhile, Israel made the surprise announcement of authorizing direct talks with Lebanon, despite their lack of diplomatic ties.
The negotiations are expected next week in Washington, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had approved direct talks, while the Lebanese government did not immediately respond.
Netanyahu said there is no ceasefire in Lebanon and his country will keep striking Hezbollah.
