Are Israel and Hezbollah on the brink of a full-blown war? | TV shows


Tensions between the Israeli army and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah are at an all-time high.

They have been participating in low-level hostilities for more than eight months.

However, Israel's assassination of one of Hezbollah's top commanders last week has sparked an escalation.

US President Joe Biden sent a special envoy to the region in hopes of calming tensions and avoiding a broader conflict.

But has it worked?

And with no sign that the Israeli military is close to ending its war in Gaza, is it about to open a second front in the north?
