People living in Haifa in Northern Israel are preparing for a potential conflict with the Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah.

The leader of Hezbollah has said the response to the Israeli assassination of a senior commander in Beirut is coming.

He added that the group might act alone or in co-ordination with other Iranian-supported factions in the region.

Countries around the world have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon in recent days, amid concerns that a possible attack from the heavily armed Hezbollah on Israel could lead to a wider war between the two sides.

    I'm not sure why we are still talking about escalations, Israel has attacked twice directly

    Shame on The BBC for turning off comments on certain videos.

    Why do people always say "Iran backed Hezbollah", but never "U.S. backed Israel"? Who has the warships in the area?
  • @omarrababah2721
    So Hezbollah is a Lebanese Iranian back group, and Israel is just Israel not a US Aipac backed group, possibly US's 51st state right?

    You are being played by your government to have permission for Israel to attack the sovereign country of Iran in the name of US interests. For this purpose, the recent events in which a Rwandan citizen was accused were used to provoke aversion to Islam. However, UK politicians did not check what religion is in Rwanda. It is over 80% Christian. Islam is less than 5% there. Citizens of the UK, do not let your governments provoke you.
