We love the music so much

and to hear the music it makes really goosebumps. Yes. We hear about the prized

Georgian tradition of polyphonic singing.

We begin in Lebanon where the health ministry says more than 50 people were killed in Israeli strikes across Lebanon on

Sunday. It said at least 32 died in attacks in the southern Ain-Al-Delb area and

21 more in the eastern Balbeck-Hemel region.

Israel says it struck more than 120 Hezbollah targets.

There's been no let up in the Israeli bombardment

since its assassination of Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrala on

Friday. At the same time Israel has expanded its attack on Iranian-backed militants

by hitting Houthi targets in Yemen.

Washington has warned Israel against starting an all-out war with Hezbollah,

but it also says it's prepared for a reaction from the militant group or its main backer Iran.

From Beirut here's our Middle East correspondent Yigo Bacheker.
