Israel ‘galvanised’: Strike hits central Beirut, Hezbollah's ability to respond no longer clear

An airstrike levelled an apartment building and killed three Palestinian militants in central Beirut early Monday. As recently as two weeks ago, such a strike, outside of the main areas where Hezbollah operates and next to a busy transportation hub, would have been seen as an escalation and likely followed by a long-range Hezbollah strike into Israel. But the unspoken rules of the long-running conflict, and Hezbollah's ability to respond, are no longer clear. The United States and its allies have called for a cease-fire, hoping to avoid further escalation that could draw in Iran and set off a wider war. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle tells us more.
