Tensions between the Israeli military and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah are at an all-time high.
They have been engaged in low-level hostilities for more than eight months.
Israel’s assassination of one of Hezbollah’s most senior commanders last week, however, has led to an escalation.
United States President Joe Biden sent a special envoy to the region, hoping to defuse tensions and prevent a wider conflict.
But has it worked?
And with no sign the Israeli military is close to ending its war on Gaza, is it on the brink of opening up a second front in the north?
