jonathan head speaking from beirut.eli and american officials, both defence and politicians, are keeping in close contact, certainly especially over israel's expected retaliatory attack against iran. and in the midst of this, there are reports in the media that the united states is considering sending a very advanced missile defence system to israel to boost its already much vaunted defences. it is called thaad. 0rterminal high altitude area defence — is a ground—based system, designed to intercept short, medium and intermediate ballistic missiles. its deployment would require american military personnel as well and the reports say a final decision on its use has not yet been made, but it would no doubt be a further shield against any further possible ballistic missile attack from iran. if israel carries out its threat to respond to iran's ballistic missile attack. iran fired 180 ballistic missiles into israel. israel says most of them were intercepted but some did get through. yaakov katz is the former editor of the je

our correspondent, jonathan head is in beirut and sends us this update. it's been pretty quiet in the capital here for the last several days, but that was came to an end today after there were multiple israeli air strikes on the southern suburbs, the area that's been struck most of all during this four week campaign. thunderous explosions and great columns of smoke being pushed up into the sky, casting a pall over that part of beirut. now, three of those strikes were really quite close to the international airport that's still being used by regular scheduled civilian flights. they've also, of course, been continued strikes in other parts of lebanon, most of them focussed on the 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,

earlier i spoke to our correspondents — wyre davies injerusalem and jonathan head in beirut. g jonathan for his reaction to this attack on a christian village in lebanon. we don't know what the target was here. this is a very small village. fewer than only about 800 residents. it has had an influx of some displaced people from the south, and that may be the link to the possible target that israel was after. there was no warning. local residents have said they didn't hear anything like a missile. there was just this massive explosion. the videos that they posted on social media afterwards revealed a really appalling scene of destruction. you know, smashed up cars, great grey smoke and ash everywhere and bodies lying all over the village, injured people as well, and really dreadful damage. and its left to the lebanese to wonder why this village, this very small, notably christian village, it's quite an historic village up in the mountains there. but this is a campaign that israel is still waging to destroy all of hezbollah�*s capacity to fight back. and that attack on binyamina
