Israel-Lebanon: What next?

  • Summary

  • On Friday, Israeli fighter jets dropped dozens of bombs on Lebanon’s capital Beirut, killing Hezbollah’s long-time leader, Hassan Nasrallah. Other key figures in the militant group have also been killed in recent weeks.

    Officials in Lebanon say more than 1,000 people have been killed there in the past two weeks and a million could now be displaced

    Hamas says the leader of its Lebanese group has also been killed by Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon.

    Our BBC Monitoring reporter, Hesham Shawish, explains what’s been happening and what it means for Lebanon. Also, BBC Persian Correspondent, Jiyar Gol, takes us through how the wider Middle-East region is reacting and Iran’s relationship with Hezbollah.
