Seventy-two hours on from the bombing of Beirut and the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader and figurehead of the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah, Israeli air strikes have continued relentlessly on three fronts: in Lebanon, Gaza and Yemen. Israel's military thinks it has Hezbollah on the ropes, assassination after assassination, with the senior chain of command effectively wiped out according to the US. The Hamas leader in Lebanon was killed this Monday. Central Beirut was hit for the first time too, with the leaders of another Palestinian militant group killed there.

Israel's opposition leader and former defence minister Benny Gantz says this is a moment of opportunity that can weaken what he called Iran's ring of fire with proxies surrounding his country. 

According to reports in The Washington Post, Israel has told Washington it is planning a limited ground operation in Lebanon.

We analyse the many questions of where this conflict stands, the humanitarian situation for almost a million displaced Lebanese, and where the conflict could be heading.
