TOPSHOT - Smoke rises from an Israeli airstrike on September 26, 2024, during the funeral of 14 members of one family that were killed during Israeli airstrikes that targeted the southern Lebanese village of Jbal el-Botm. Israel flatly rejected on September 26 a push led by key backer the United States for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon, as it vowed to keep fighting Hezbollah militants "until victory".
