Lebanon faces intensifying conflict after the deadly escalation in
Israel’s rivalry with paramilitary group Hezbollah. An
increasing series of skirmishes between Hezbollah and Israel has
occurred since tensions in the region exploded with Hamas’ attack
on Israel in October 2023 and Israel’s subsequent bombing campaign
in Gaza. Now Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed
Hezbollah has been ‘hit with a string of strikes it didn’t imagine’
- after a Mossad plot to rig Hezbollah pagers with explosives
brought chaos to Lebanon. Israel has since stepped up aerial
bombardment of Hezbollah targets in the country, with hundreds
reported dead. What next for Lebanon, already scarred by decades of
conflict? How will Hezbollah and its patron Iran respond? And can
the US and allies rein in Netanyahu and find a route to a
ceasefire? Gavin Esler discusses the latest from the region with
Gregg Carlstom, Middle East correspondent at The Economist. Support
