Israel Invades Lebanon

from Newscast Hosted by BBC News

Today, we look at Israel’s invasion of Lebanon which the Israeli military are calling a "limited, localised and targeted" ground operation against Hezbollah. An Israeli source has told the BBC that their ground forces have gone only "very close walking distance" into Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hezbollah claims that Israel’s forces have not crossed the border. Both sides have continued to exchange fire with rockets. Adam is joined by BBC chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet and security correspondent Frank Gardner.
