‘Black Wednesday’ - Inside Lebanon after Israel’s airstrikes

‘Black Wednesday’ - Inside Lebanon after Israel’s airstrikes

On Wednesday 8 April, more than 300 people were killed after Israel launched ‘100 strikes in 10 minutes’ in Lebanon during what is being dubbed ‘Black Wednesday’. What exactly unfolded that day?

Yalda has spent time with those who witnessed the attacks and shares with Richard what they have been telling her.

While a shaky ceasefire remains in place between Iran and the US, no such ceasefire exists between Lebanon and Israel although talks are underway between the two countries in Washington.

Richard gives his view from Tel Aviv, where life is much more normal.

So what could happen next in this war? Listen to the full episode to find out.
