9:01Now PlayingLebanon is a country with no president, a caretaker government, and a nearly worthless currency. The population of around five and a half million people have lived in a state of near permanent emergency for years. Its military has also suffered from the financial collapse. But its inability to challenge Hezbollah has been because of Lebanon's divided and dysfunctional political system. This week the Lebanese army said it had fired back against Israel as it mounted its incursion, but analysts say it's in no state to keep the Israeli army out.
Meanwhile, Beirut has witnessed another night of Israeli airstrikes. The explosions came shortly after Israel ordered people to evacuate from a number of areas in southern Beirut. Israel says it is hitting Hezbollah targets in the city. Lebanon's information minister, on a visit to France, said he still hoped last-minute diplomacy could prevent further destruction and suffering in his country.
