The Israeli cabinet meeting scheduled for 4 p.m. local time to discuss and vote on the US-backed ceasefire deal in Lebanon has been postponed.

It is not clear why the postponement of the Israeli cabinet meeting on Tuesday, November 26, an Israeli PM spokesman was quoted as saying by CNN. Not yet. there is information regarding the exact schedule for the start of cabinet meetings.

The Israeli military bombed the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, 20 times in two minutes on Tuesday afternoon. The attack marks one of the most intensive military operations bombing near the Lebanese capital since the start of the war more than two months ago.

"20 terror targets in the last 120 seconds the IDF has attacked terror targets in Beirut, including administrative targets and the location of Hezbollah's money storage," Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X.

The attack comes just minutes before the Israeli cabinet is scheduled to meet to make a vote on a possible ceasefire with Hezbollah.

A large puff of smoke enveloped Beirut after a series of attacks took place in Dahiyeh, a settlement in the southern suburbs of the capital which is also Hezbollah's center of power.

The area inhabited by about 1 million people, has been largely vacated since the start of attacks almost every night there on September 27.

The bombing comes as Lebanon and Israel prepare to announce a ceasefire in the near future.
