00:00We continue to track developments from West Asia.
00:02Israel has expanded its campaign to hit Hezbollah,
00:05the Iran-backed proxy group based in Lebanon.
00:08This comes after rockets and drones were fired from Lebanese territory into Israel.
00:14At least 10 people are reportedly killed in Lebanon.
00:18Loud explosions echoed across Beirut early this morning.
00:21Civilians fled as explosions hit the country.
00:55The Israeli strikes followed rocket and drone launches from Lebanon.
00:59This is the first attack claimed by Hezbollah since November 2024 ceasefire.
01:04That truce had ended more than a year of war between the two sides.
01:39Hezbollah says his attack was in retaliation for the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
01:45The group called Khamenei's killing the crossing of a red line.
01:49In response, Israel says it precisely struck senior Hezbollah members in Beirut and southern Lebanon.
01:55Israel has issued mass evacuation warnings covering several towns in southern and eastern Lebanon.
02:02These are the areas where Hezbollah has strong influence.
02:06Residents have also been told to move at least one kilometer away for their safety.
02:10Following Israeli evacuation warnings on the ground, there are signs of panic.
02:14Lebanon's prime minister's office has released a list of public schools to shelter displaced civilians.
02:20Israel's military chief says Hezbollah opened a campaign overnight and is fully responsible for any escalation.
02:27Lebanon's prime minister, Nawaz Salam, has called Hezbollah's rocket fire irresponsible.
02:33He says it puts the country at risk and gives Israel a reason to intensify its attacks.
02:40He has called an emergency meeting in Beirut.
02:43Lebanese president warns that Lebanon could be dragged into a wider war.
02:47One, he says, is unrelated to us.
02:51Hezbollah has been weakened after more than a year of conflict with Israel.
02:55A war it entered in support of Hamas after the October 2023 attacks.
03:00And now with Iran directly in the frame the conflict is spreading.
03:06What began as a conflict with Iran is now spilling into Lebanon.
03:10Hezbollah's ceasefire with Israel is now over.
03:13Lebanese civilians are rushing to flee the sites of conflict and the region is now reeling under the state of
03:20wider war.
03:20The power doesn't end quietly.
03:25Some deaths are not accidents.
03:28They are messages.
03:30A gunshot.
03:32A crowd.
03:33A country frozen.
03:36The killer disappears.
03:38The questions don't.
03:40This is not just about who died.
03:43It's about what followed.
03:45Governments fell.
03:47Armies moved.
03:48History rewrote itself.
03:51Five leaders.
03:53Five moments.
03:55One pattern.
03:57The assassination.
04:18The death of the world.
04:19The death of the world.
04:19The death of the world.
04:21The death of the world.
