In beirut right now. Again, we have had strikes here through the day, and smoke once again rising on the skyline of the lebanese capital. The prime minister of this country, the Acting Prime Minister has called again for a diplomatic solution to the conflict and he warns that up to A Million people here in lebanon could be displaced by the ongoing violence. The streets of dahieh, this is the Beating Heart of hezbollah in beirut, now looking like a ghost town. Thousands have left, many more are still trying to leave. Driving through dahieh this morning, we saw cars packed with mattresses and bags. Some people seemed to be leaving on foot. Israeli Air Strikes destroyed this building yesterday. The smell of the explosives was still hanging in the air and we could hear the sound of drones flying overhead. Israel says it will continue to target hezbollah, even after killing the groups leader, Hassan Nasrallah. Dahieh is no longer safe. There is a tense and anxious wait in lebanon following the killing of Hassan Nasrallah. The wait for a possible response from hezbollah. For 30 years, Hassan Nasrallah led A Group often described as a state within a state. Hezbollah has been weakened but it has not been defeated. There is a trail of destruction in dahieh and across the country. A Ground Invasion of southern lebanon feels more imminent. But here, the impact on those caught up by the violence. Lebanon saysi million people may have already been displaced by the conflict so far. Many are now here in beirut. Translation honestly, the situation here in lebanon is very chaotic and we are really in a crisis. We do not know what is going to happen. Lebanon is waiting, uncertain about the future, but fearful about what may come next. Hugo bachega, Bbc News, beirut. The drones that hugo was talking about can still be heard very clearly above as in the skies here in beirut. There is a loud, constant whining sound. Interestingly on the skyline behind me, you can also see where planes come in and land at the international airport here in beirut. Almost every commercial airline has now stopped flying here. Only the lebanese national carrier is still flying, Middle East airlines. Ijust saw is still flying, Middle East airlines. I just saw a is still flying, Middle East airlines. Ijust saw a plane coming in but there are very few going in or out of this country. Lets look at how the events of this weekend are being viewed in israel now. On saturday evening, israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the outcome of that airstrike was an historic turning point. But iran, a close supporter of hezbollah, said his death would be avenged. Israel has continued its attacks against senior figures in hezbollah. The countrys military posted on x that it has killed nabil anuk, who it says was a member of hezbollah� s executive council, in what it says was a precise strike. Hezbollah has not confirmed this. Our Correspondent Injerusalem Jon donnison has the latest. Israel has been carrying out fresh airstrikes this morning. They say theyve taken out another senior hezbollah commander. And if you listen to the words of prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Last Night, he clearly feels that he has the boot on the throat of hezbollah and is going to continue applying the pressure. So the ball is really in the court of both hezbollah and perhaps more importantly, iran. Now, to see what their response will be now, in particular, iran so far during this escalation of violence has involved it avoided becoming directly involved in a confrontation with israel. But the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah is going to challenge that, and were going to have to wait and see whether it will continue. One key point, i think, is that all the efforts of the international community, including those being led by President Biden and the United States, have failed to stop israel carrying out its operations against hezbollah, as well as the ongoing war in gaza. And israel clearly feels that it will do whatever it takes to protect its citizens. And, as i say, no sign that theres an end to this escalation in violence. Those developments in jerusalem, of course, have led to huge Concern Notjust in the Middle East, but around the world as well. Lets speak to jane kinninmont, director of policy and impact at the European Leadership network, a Think Tank focusing on foreign, Defence And Security issues. Thank you forjoining us here on Bbc News. There is so much to work through a look at the current situation. I think first of all picking up on what john was saying there in jerusalem. There doesnt seem a great deal of indication that the parties here in the region want a de escalation at moment, does that . Want a deescalation at moment, does that . Does that . Well, there has been a curowin does that . Well, there has been a growing escalation does that . Well, there has been a growing escalation ever does that . Well, there has been a growing escalation ever since i a growing escalation ever since October The 7th and the gaza war, but there has also been elements of restraint and even attempts at peacemaking. So when we talk about the parties in the region, of course there is iran, as you mentioned, weighing up very carefully how and whether to respond because it is, to some extent, not deterred from israel thoroughly getting involved in this, it doesnt want to get dragged into a war in which it might confront the us. And then we have the arab states, and something that once would have been historic is now being rather overlooked with the escalation of violence, but last week at the un, Saudi Arabia and jordan, along with norway, led A Group of arab countries, offering peace and even Security Guarantees for israel if they will cope with the two State Solution and accept the creation of a palestinian state, which Benjamin Netanyahu said he has spent his career trying to fend off. So there are efforts to try to bring about a bigger regional peace, but of course, as we can see, the events in the region are pointing in the opposite direction. Opposite direction. Lets look more deeply opposite direction. Lets look more deeply into opposite direction. Lets look more deeply into that. Opposite direction. Lets look more deeply into that. You i more deeply into that. You mentioned Saudi Arabia there, and that was one of the focuses of the speech by Benjamin Netanyahu to the Un General Assembly on friday. He was obviously referring back to the Normalisation Efforts that were going on behind the scenes, he said, before October The 7th and they were closer than they had ever been. But of course what we are saying, that is a direct contrast between what has been going on and on what we are seeing right now, in terms of this ongoing escalating Military Action in lebanon. Escalating Military Action in lebanon escalating Military Action in lebanon. ~. �. , lebanon. Well, what Benamin Netanyahufi lebanon. Well, what Benamin Netanyahu has i lebanon. Well, what Benamin Netanyahu has been h lebanon. Well, what Benjamin Netanyahu has been hoping i lebanon. Well, what benjamin| netanyahu has been hoping for is that on the one hand he can build a piece with the wealthy Gulf State and maintain peace with egypt and jordan, and on the other hand, deal a blow to iran and its allies in the region stop he wants to do all of this without adhering to the two State Solution, and that is the core of the problem and it means that there is talk of normalisation with Saudi Arabia currently is not realistic. The saudis have repeatedly made it clear, and they have been consistent for more than 20 years in saying if we could get to a two State Solution, then we would recognise israel which currently they dont do. They tried to offer that as an incentive to help the palestinians because they know that the Saudi Population does care about the palestinians and does not want to see the kinds of violence that we are seeing in the region. But right now theres not any way to get that normalisation, and to an extent, i think, normalisation, and to an extent, ithink, it normalisation, and to an extent, i think, it is largely a Talking Point for the israeli public and american public. Jane, thank you forjoining us. We really appreciate it. Much more to come from here in beirut throughout the day, of course. It is a developing and very fast moving story, particularly as we watch to see what response they will be on both sides, on the potentially hezbollah side and on the israeli side, as well as their Military Action continues. Stay with us and we will bring it all to you here on Bbc News. An eight year old child has died after being shot on a farm in the North East of england.
