Israel and Hezbollah exchange heavy fire as escalation fears grow
Major escalation in Middle East tensions over the weekend have reignited international concern of a wider confrontation. Israel and Hezbollah exchanged heavy fire early Sunday morning, with the Iran-backed group saying it was acting in retaliation to last month's assassination of its top commander. Both sides have since offered conflicting accounts. Meanwhile, Israeli operations continue in the Gaza Strip, after another round of high-level peace talks in Cairo ended yesterday without an agreement. Sarah Coates and Nick Harper report from Tel Aviv and Washington DC respectively.
