Israel Hezbollah War Live

2 Israeli soldiers killed near Lebanon border after strikes launched over Beirut

Israel-Hezbollah War live updates: Deafening sonic booms from Israeli warplanes were witnessed in Lebanon's Beirut days after pager explosions, and subsequent walkie-talkie explosions targeting armed militant group Hezbollah claimed lives. The development came not so long after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah denounced the pager explosions and blamed Israel for it. Nasrallah also said Israel violated "red lines" and the move could be a "declaration of war". The Israel Defence Forces in a tweet said they were striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon to degrade Hezbollah's terrorist capabilities and infrastructure.

The Big Question

Can Kejriwal take AAP unity for granted?

Politics is what takes place between what's said and what's left unsaid. Most AAP leaders said that Kejriwal would return after the election, and that's exactly why they have agreed to Atishi as the CM. What's unsaid is that Atishi is a stop-gap solution. But will AAP unity stand the test if Atishi continues as the CM? Will personal ambitions create a fissure within the ranks?
