17:15Now PlayingFormer Netanyahu adviser challenged over Beirut strikes
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer Netanyahu adviser Dr Dan Diker speaks to Shelagh Fogarty after Israel attacked Beirut for the first time since it agreed to a ceasefire in the war with the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
It has put further pressure on a deal that has failed to stop the conflict.
The air strike hit the city's southern suburbs, known as Dahieh, where Hezbollah is based. Images posted online showed large flames and at least one building heavily damaged.
In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had personally approved the strike which targeted a commander of the group's elite Radwan Force.
This is the first attack to hit Dahieh since US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal between the governments of Israel and Lebanon on 16 April.
Diker says Hezbollah is “operated, funded, supplied, instructed and financed by the Islamic Republic” and argues that “the concept of a ceasefire does not hold when it comes to Hezbollah.”
