Israel has carried out what “it called large-scale” air strikes on Yemen, targeting what it described as “military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime”. Power stations and a port were hit in Ras Isa and Hudaydah.

The strikes came as Israel carried out more attacks across Lebanon, and Hezbollah fired more rockets into northern Israel. Israel has again targeted the Beirut suburb of Dahieh, the Hezbollah stronghold where its leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed by Israeli bombing. Israel is now claiming that 20 other senior leaders of the militia were also killed.

Lebanon’s prime minister has said that as many as a million people may now have been displaced by the bombing campaign, as people flee north in search of safety.

There have been more warnings that the escalating conflict risks turning into a full-scale regional war, involving Iran which backs Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.

Anna Foster in Beirut presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jon Donnison, Orla Guerin and Frank Gardner.
