Israel Invades Lebanon

Israel has told residents in around 25 villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate.

Today, we look at Israel’s invasion of Lebanon which the Israeli military are calling a "limited, localised and targeted" ground operation against Hezbollah.

An Israeli source has told the ±«Óătv that their ground forces have gone only "very close walking distance" into Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hezbollah claims that Israel’s forces have not crossed the border. Both sides have continued to exchange fire with rockets.

Adam is joined by ±«Óătv chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet and security correspondent Frank Gardner.
