also in the east of the country, in the bekaa valley., this time, the israelis had a particular target in the crosshairs. this was a foundation that the israelis say iran has been using to funnel money to hezbollah to fund their operations. so there was a warning given late last night, a couple of hours before these strikes targeted several spaces that were basically offices for this foundation in southern beirut, in the bekaa valley. so last night we were hearing these bombardments slamming into southern beirut. and this is something that we've been seeing for the past, really more than a month now as this is ongoing, we're continuing to see the israelis pounding northern gaza. and just in the past couple of hours, we heard that u.s. secretary of state antony blinken is leaving once again for the middle east. this is his 11th trip, and he's hoping to make some sort of deal to free those remaining hostages in the gaza strip, maybe bring some measure of peace to gaza and maybe to here in lebanon before this conflict becomes even more inte

south, where there are, of course, israeli troops involved in land operations there and in the bekaa valley. there was one extraordinary air strike on the highway north of beirut. it was filmed by someone showing a car trying to get away from what was a suspected israeli drone. a man and a woman got out of the car. they stopped the car, ran into the undergrowth next to the highway, and were then killed by what was almost certainly an israeli missile strike. and so this war in lebanon grinds on. israel seems no closer to its goal yet of being able to prevent hezbollah from firing rockets and missiles into the north of israel. those have still continued today, and that is the avowed goal of israel. hezbollah has given a statement just in the past few days, saying that it's now going into what it says is a new phase of the war. now, we don't know what that entails, but it certainly, from the messaging, clear that both sides still have a long way to go, that this conflict has a long way from ending. there's been no let—up in israeli strikes on gaza, with health officials saying at least 32 have

the warplanes of the sekonist regime also bombarded a relief center in a village in the bekaa valley of lebanon, killing 8 people. the army of the zionist regime bombed the lilki area located in zahia, south of beirut, the capital of lebanon. according to the reports, eight airstrikes by the sakti regime last night south beirut resulted in the destruction of four residential buildings . the spokesman of the yemeni armed forces announced the implementation of several missile and drone operations against the elements of the occupation regime in the occupied territories. the armed forces of yemen targeted the military target of the enemy of israel in the jaffa region and carried out this operation with a jaffa drone. target and this operation was done successfully by god's grace. yahya seri emphasized: the armed forces of yemen will continue their operations against the zionist enemy, side by side with the people and the resistance forces in palestine and lebanon. news sources of the attack on the victoria military base america they reported in the vicinity of baghdad international airp

lebanon's health ministry says at least 60 people have been killed in israeli attacks on the bekaa valley in the baalbek region, northeast of the capital, beirut. the local governor called the attacks the most violent in the area since israel escalated the conflict against hezbollah last month. that is the latest from the middle east. that session at the un is still going on, there are new lines coming and all of the time. we were talking about what martin griffiths was saying a short while ago to the bbc, saying that a decision about undermining made by the israeli parliament are, and his words, a newbie to kill children and a new way to kill hope. —— a new way to kill children and a new way to kill hope. the teenager who's accused of murdering three young girls in southport injuly has been charged with two further offences, one of which is a terrorism charge. axel rudakubana, who's 18, is accused of possessing the poison ricin, and also possessing a copy of the al-qaeda training manual. he's already been charged with murder, attempted murder and possession of a knife. bebe king, six, el

between israel and hezbollah in southern lebanon, not evenjust southern lebanon, in beirut and the bekaa valley immediately because hezbollah is still firing rockets into israel, still the houthis in yemen also firing missiles at israel. much depends, as i say, on what happens with iran. remember israel has vowed to retaliate against iran for the october 1st ballistic missile attack when iran launched around 180 missiles at israel in response, it said, for the killing of hassan nasrallah, their big ally in beirut killed on september 27th. so, there is a lot of still moving pieces here in the jigsaw that have not stopped moving yet. so, i'm sorry to say that i don't think the middle east generally is a calmer place today than it was 48 hours ago. that was the bbc�*s frank gardner. tributes continue to pour in after the death of liam payne, the former member of the boy band one direction. payne fell from a hotel balcony late on wednesday. the singer rose to global stardom as part of one direction, selling 70 million records worldwide. his former bandmates have paid tribute to him, saying "the mem

the eastern bekaa valley as well has been repeatedly hit by the israeli military.rut, the first time in nearly a week that darayya, which is the area of beirut where hezbollah has a significant presence, was hit by israeli airstrikes. the israeli military said it had hit an underground weapons storage site being used by hezbollah. there haven't been reports of casualties. we've seen images from this location hit showing that at least one building collapsed as a result of this airstrike, but again, beirut being hit again after a days long pause that apparently, uh, happened at the request of american officials who had demanded israeli authorities stop or at least pause. these airstrikes targeting beirut. so, again, these airstrikes today are happening across the country. the united nations says the first aid in two weeks entered northern gaza after israel received a strongly—worded warning from the united states about the humanitarian situation. the letter to the israeli government said us military funding could be cut unless the problems were addressed within 30 da

so the number is likely to increase and don't forget also, we have had 300,000 he fled from the bekaa valleyg into syria which is now out of service because israel also targeted this area, saying that hezbollah is trafficking, smuggling weapons into lebanon from syria from that border crossing. we know that this is the main border crossing, the way to escape for thousands of civilians, who are trying to run to safety.— civilians, who are trying to run to safety. lina sin'ab in beirut, thank * run to safety. lina sin'ab in beirut, thank you h run to safety. lina sinjab in beirut, thank you very - run to safety. lina sinjab in i beirut, thank you very much. as you've been hearing there have been multiple strikes overnight and into this morning. well this map shows weapon strikes across the region up until friday night. attacks by israel are shown in red on this map and those by hezbollah — rockets fired into israel — are in purple. israel has ordered residents in these southern lebanese communities — about 30 villages — here marked in orange, to leave their homes for their own safety. our corr

along, to target hezbollah military bases and leadership and weapons supplies. 20 strikes in the bekaa valleyresence, but we just heard an attack on a village to the north of here, which is as far as we know are largely christian area where a lot of displaced people have gone. we are told eight people have been killed in one house that was damaged. i have seen a picture on lebanese television of a woman who was killed by that strike. we don't know what the targets are, but we know what the targets are, but we know israel is going to continue to search out targets across lebanon regardless of the very heavy civilian cost, the heavy death toll among civilians, and damage to people's homes. you might not be able to hear it, but above me at the moment, we have been hearing nonstop for the last two hours, it is still there, and israeli drone over the capital here. we had no attacks here in beirut for the last two days, but when there are drones, people here fear that may mean a resumption of attacks here in beirut ten bn. with this conflict still going on, you have to assume there will be targets

and don't forget, also we've had like almost 300,000 who fled from the bekaa valley on the masnaa crossingria. that crossing itself is now out of service because israel also targeted this area, saying that hezbollah is trafficking, you know, is, uh, you know, smuggling weapons into lebanon from syria, from that border crossing. and we know that, you know, this is the main border crossing, uh, you know, that is the way to escape for thousands of civilians who lina sinjab in beirut.. our bbc teams have reported hearing another strike in the south of the city. you can see fresh plumes of smoke rising. we are trying to get more information about what exactly is happening on the ground. we can hear the sound and the cameras have moved, to the sound of another blast, there. what we are hearing from our teams is that that strike we mentioned before appears to have hit an area close to the airport, where evacuations of foreign nationals are continuing. according to our bbc teams, they touted three strikes in that area alone so far today. and of course, you heard the sound of another strike there.

israeli strikes were reported in both the bekaa valley, a hezbollah stronghold, as well as the lebanesethe strikes, going after a specific hezbollah linked banking system known as the al-hassan bank that has a variety of branches focused in the capital of beirut. the activity on the northern front comes as hezbollah continues to launch rockets into northern israel. hundreds of rockets were fired toward israeli cities, including haifa, over the weekend, and the southern front remains active as well. one of the highest ranking israeli officials was killed since the war began inside gaza. a druze colonel when he stepped out of a tank and went to a position with other israeli leadership. that position was reportedly booby trapped. looking closer at gaza overnight, the israelis released new video of the former hamas leader yahya sinwar, walking through a tunnel with his family on october 6th, just a day before the october 7th massacre. with the war ongoing, there is currently no diplomatic solution in sight, but u.s. officials will reportedly be visiting the region this week as the americans

and in the bekaa valley now, we've also heard from the israeli military that they are expanding their ground operations. they say they are expanding them into southwestern lebanon. they had started just across the border in the eastern part and we understand there's also a division or reserve division that will be involved in this as well, supporting the the existing soldiers that are there. it's still being described as limited localized, and targeted. but a division really could be thousands of soldiers. so it's unclear how limited it is at this point, but there are evacuation order still under underway for at least 120 villages along southern lebanon. the israeli military telling people not to come home until further notice. hence, we have more than 1.2 million people believed to be displaced at this point, we're also hearing from us officials that they have effectively given up on trying to push this 21 day ceasefire plan as they realized that it's just not going to happen at this point. it was a biden administration in initiative where they were hoping to gain a ceasefire but now

they've been after targets around beirut in the bekaa valley, tripoli. this is perhaps the first strike in tripoli, but again, this is, it appears to be israel continuing to take down all elements wherever they are of hamas it says leadership yeah, nic, we're still waiting to see if and how israel respond to iran's attack from earlier in the week. >> what's your sense of things right now? >> look, i think secrecy is the biggest watchword for the israeli government and their decision making at the moment, we've just gone through two days of rosh hashanah, the high holidays i think there was a general sense that if israel hadn't strike before then and they weren't going to strike during that period because it would mean that people would be waiting for a response from iran and therefore more home front command's would be instructing people not to gather in large numbers, which is exactly what they've been doing gathering as families during this period. so i think now that's server and the weekend's over that does sort of open up the space potentially for s
