ABC News In-depth | Australians urged to leave Lebanon as conflict escalates | 7.30 @ABCNewsIndepth | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
After nearly a year of conflict in Gaza there are now fears the situation in southern Lebanon could destabilise the entire Middle East.

Israel's heavy bombardment, beginning on Monday, targeting Hezbollah is believed to have killed 569 people. Today Hezbollah fired a ballistic missile towards Tel Aviv. The missile was intercepted.

The escalation comes as global leaders gathered in New York for the UN General Assembly, where Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned “Lebanon is at the brink”.

Sarah Ferguson interviews Foreign Minister Penny Wong, who was at that meeting in New York.
