Hezbollah attacks Israel from Lebanon, the Houthis fire rockets and other missiles from Yemen. Iran is behind both. The West is still trying to avert an escalation.
When Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib is received by Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at the Foreign Office in Berlin this Friday, he is likely to see worried faces and hear clear warnings. From its territory, Israel is attacked every day, with mortar shells, modern anti-tank missiles, drones, ballistic missiles carrying hundreds of kilos of explosives. There was another air alert in northern Israel on Thursday.
