00:00A huge fireball lit up the sky over Beirut early on Thursday amid at least four Israeli
00:08strikes targeting its southern suburbs, according to Lebanese broadcaster Al Jadid TV, hours
00:14after earlier attacks.
00:16Israeli strikes on Lebanon killed 40 people and wounded 53 around the eastern city of
00:21Baalbek in the Bekaa Valley on Wednesday, according to the country's health ministry.
00:26And at dusk, more strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs.
00:30Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah have exchanged fire for over a year in parallel with the
00:35Gaza War, but fighting has escalated since late September, with Israeli troops intensifying
00:41bombing on swathes of Lebanon's south and east and making ground incursions into border
00:46villages.
00:47More than 3,000 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon over the last year,
00:52the vast majority in the past six weeks.
00:55Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem on Wednesday said he did not believe that political
01:01action would bring an end to hostilities.
01:04He said there could be a road to indirect negotiations if Israel stopped its attacks.
