Israel has taken responsibility for Wednesday night's strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying he personally authorised the attack to kill a top Hezbollah Commander identified as Malek Balou. The continued ceasefire incursions are further pressuring talks between Tel Aviv and Beirut, which are being supported by the US. Hezbollah initially indicated it would support a deal if it was respected by Israel but the two parties continue to trade blows, despite the truce. Details by Eliza Herbert.
