A War Within the War: Israel’s Bombardment of Lebanon
With the world’s attention on the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, a second front in the conflict has opened in Lebanon.
Israel has pummeled an area in the southern outskirts of Beirut where Hezbollah holds sway, as well as southern Lebanon, with airstrikes, displacing almost one million people. Israel has also expanded its assault into other parts of Beirut, the capital.
Christina Goldbaum, The New York Times’s bureau chief in Beirut, explains how the crisis in Lebanon connects to the broader war, what Israel hopes to achieve and what people in Lebanon fear might come next.
Guest: Christina Goldbaum, The New York Times’s bureau chief in Beirut.
