Fears grow of wider war as Israel sends more troops to Lebanon border | BBC News
Fears are growing of all-out conflict between Israel and Lebanon, as Israel’s defence minister said his country was “opening a new phase in the war” and more troops were sent to the border. Yoav Gallant said the “centre of gravity is shifting to the north”.
His warning came hours after a new wave of explosions killed 14 people and injured at least 450 across Lebanon when walkie-talkies exploded, according to the country’s health ministry. That came a day after exploding pagers killed 12 people in Lebanon including two children and left almost 3,000 people in hospital.
Multiple sources said that Mossad, the Israeli spy agency, was targeting Hezbollah fighters and had managed to place explosives in the electronic devices. Israel has declined to comment on those claims and the United States declared that it had no prior knowledge of the attacks.
The defence minister’s announcement suggests that Israel is shifting its focus towards its conflict with Hezbollah – the Iran-backed group based in Lebanon. Around 60,000 people have been displaced in the north of Israel due to rocket and drone attacks by Hezbollah since the October 7th attacks in Israel and the war in Gaza. Thousands of people in Lebanon have been killed and injured by Israeli attacks.

Iran has said it is confident it can counter widened US sanctions after Washington announced what it described as an “economic D-Day” against the country to try to isolate it from the global economy.
Iranian Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh said Tehran was “fully prepared” for the sanctions, which he said would lead to “another defeat” for the US.
Announcing a raft of new measures, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said any nation financially partnering with Iran would be isolated, and that banks and businesses dealing with Iran would share its isolation if they refused to cut ties.
The moves follow U-turns and extended deadlines from the White House in its efforts to end the conflict.

The BBC has been given a rare glimpse at how the Taliban is running Afghanistan, five years after it swept aside a US-backed government in the country to return to power.
In that time, women have been excluded from most workplaces, banned from universities and may not travel alone or visit parks and leisure centres.
In encounters spread over two years, the BBC gained unusual access to influential figures in the extreme Islamist movement, spending time with men who once planned suicide attacks or spent years in underground hideouts, but are now officials and soldiers.
