UK Foreign Minister calls Israeli Airstrikes on Lebanon ‘Deeply Damaging’

The UK Foreign Minister has called escalating Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon ‘deeply damaging’ as more than 300 people are estimated to have been killed in the attacks.

Iran has warned it will restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for Israel's attacks on Lebanon, with US President Trump criticising Iran for breaching the ceasefire agreement by doing so.
