Israel's military launched airstrikes across Lebanon on Monday, unleashing explosions throughout the country and killing at least 31 while Israeli leaders appeared to be closing in on a negotiated ceasefire with the Hezbollah militant group.

The strikes, which destroyed an eight-story building and left a crater in the ground, were the fourth in Beirut in less than a week.
