Fears of War Between Israel & Hezbollah Intensify

There are fears of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah, in the wake of a rocket strike in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 children on Saturday. For nearly 10 months now, Hezbollah and Israeli forces have exchanged cross-border fire, with dozens killed and hundreds of thousands forced to evacuate. At the same time, the war in Gaza drags on, with Israeli attacks killing at least 19 people, including children, on Sunday. Hezbollah has previously indicated they could halt their strikes if a ceasefire was reached in Gaza, but there seems little chance of that now. Correspondent Ben Wedeman joins the show from Beirut. Also on today's show: former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett; Alexandra Winkler, Senior Associate, CSIS Americas Program; Mary Ziegler, Author, “Abortion and the Law in America”; Cassie Chambers Armstrong, Democratic Kentucky State Senator Learn more about your ad choices.
