Israel intensifies attacks against Lebanon

Is Israel preparing for a full-scale ground incursion of Lebanon? Israel has been actively striking against southern Lebanon – but also aiming north of the capital city Beirut. We get an on-the-ground update from those living amongst the airstrikes.Also in the programme: We take a closer look on how the escalation of the conflict in Lebanon is affecting the race in one of the swing states in the upcoming US election; and we hear from an Israeli soldier who did fight on Lebanese ground – in 2006.(Photo: Smoke billows over southern Lebanon following an Israeli strike as seen from Tyre.
