The Israeli army has resumed its night-time bombardment of the southern suburbs of Beirut, considered a stronghold of the Shiite Islamist militia Hezbollah. According to the Lebanese news agency Ani, these are the worst airstrikes since the start of the open war between Israel and the pro-Iranian movement Hezbollah a month ago. Diplomatic attempts deployed in recent hours by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock remain fruitless.
