Tensions between the Israeli military and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah are at an all-time high.
They have been engaged in low-level hostilities for more than eight months.

But has it worked?
And with no sign the Israeli military is close to ending its war on Gaza, is it on the brink of opening up a second front in the north?
