Live: Israeli Military Advance in Lebanon - Qatar Threatens to 'Respond' to Tehran Attacks

The Israeli military has announced new airstrikes against "Hezbollah command and weapons storage facilities" in Beirut, Lebanon, following its warning that it is preparing to continue and intensify its campaign against the Iranian-backed Shia movement. Explosions and a fire broke out at the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, witnesses said, while Iran continues its retaliatory strikes on countries in the Gulf. The explosions at the embassy came as Iran continued its retaliatory strikes on countries in the Gulf, in response to the attacks by the American and Israeli militaries since Saturday. Conditions in the area remain tense, and developments are rapid.
