Is Israel about to escalate in Lebanon?

from Kan English · host כאן | Kan

Israel will escalate strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday evening, as a US official said the terror group had ignored warnings to halt firing at Israel in a conflict that could threaten US-Iran negotiations. The prime minister’s remarks were followed by confirmation from the IDF that it had launched a fresh wave of strikes against Hezbollah targets in eastern and southern Lebanon. Lebanese security sources said people had begun fleeing the southern suburbs of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold, for fear of a renewed Israeli assault on the capital. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Retired IDF Colonel Miri Eisin. (Photo: Courtesy)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
