Iran has warned another war front may be opened with Israel. How is Lebanon's Hezbollah involved?
Israeli troops have spent the weekend preparing to move into the Gaza Strip in pursuit of Hamas militants, but clashes at the country's northern border have prompted fears of a second war front. Lebanon's Hezbollah fighters launched several attacks on Israeli army posts on Sunday and Israel retaliated with strikes into Lebanon, in the biggest escalation of tensions in 17 years.
"The country is just falling apart. And for the Lebanese to have a war with Israel would be not only devastating, but also untenable." Mayroz said what we're seeing on Israel's northern border is a "tap dance", as Hezbollah shows its support for Hamas and Israel displays it's not "taking shit", while avoiding full-scale war.
