What’s behind the fighting in Lebanon?

Israel has intensified its attacks on Lebanon this week. It’s as the US-Israel war with Iran also continues. A new front in the war opened in Lebanon on 2nd March when the Iran-backed group Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel. This was in retaliation to the death of Iran’s supreme leader and ceasefire violations.

More than a million people in Lebanon - roughly one in every six - have been displaced from their homes. And more than 1,400 people have been killed.

We chat to the BBC's Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega, who’s based in Beirut. He walks us through what’s happening in Lebanon, the background to Hezbollah, and when the war might come to an end.
