Welcome to the news hour. It is a tense night in Lebanon and northern Israel after the second day in a row of major Israeli airstrikes.

Israel said it killed a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut,

The US is trying to de-escalate,

Biden spoke today.

Nick Schiffran has more.

In Beirut today, the sound of sirens.
