PREVIEW

A huge billboard displaying an image of assassinated pro-Iranian Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah stands as civil defense workers try to open a street in the site where a building collapsed following an Israeli air raid hit the Chiyah area, on the outskirts of Beirut southern suburb. Israel continued its air raids across Lebanon as the country celebrated its independence day. The wide-scale bombardment continued a day after a U.S. envoy held talks with Israeli officials on a possible cease-fire with pro-Iranian Hezbollah militants.
