– There will be no ceasefire in the north, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on X.
This comes despite strong calls to calm the fighting and avoid a ground invasion of southern Lebanon.
By Thursday afternoon, there were reports of new air strikes on Beirut.
Shortly afterwards, news came that 14 people were killed when Israel attacked a school in the Gaza Strip.
The school, located in the Jabalia refugee camp, was used as a Hamas command center, the Israeli military claims.
The Palestinian Authority in Gaza claims the school was being used as a shelter.
At least 39 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, NTB reported, citing health authorities in the area.

Among other things, more than 100 Syrian refugees were killed in Lebanon after the Israeli escalation, Reuters news agency wrote.

Israel has dealt a heavy blow to Hezbollah in recent days. First, with unexpected explosions in pagers and radios. Then with intensive air strikes.
In the northern parts of Israel, thousands of Israeli soldiers are preparing for a possible ground invasion.
On his way to New York and the United Nations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had instructed the military to continue fighting anyway.

Meanwhile, the families of Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip are now demanding a ceasefire in Lebanon.
They believe that there is a clear connection between what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in Lebanon.
– We know that these things are connected, the northern and southern regions. It is all part of the same larger situation that we are living in as a result of the events of October 7.
That's what Gil Dickman told Reuters.
In Lebanon, many now fear what will happen next. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes.
The bombing of Beirut and the surrounding areas is the largest since 2006.
