Israel has launched an invasion of southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese Army is offering no resistance and withdrawing from the border.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) states:
"In parallel with the IDF's operations in Operation Roaring Lion, IDF soldiers are now operating in southern Lebanon and are stationed at several points near the border as part of a reinforced forward defense.
The IDF is working to create an additional layer of security for residents of northern Israel. The IDF is conducting targeted strikes against Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure to eliminate threats and prevent infiltration attempts into Israeli territory.
The Hezbollah terrorist organization has decided to attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian regime, and it will bear the consequences of its actions. The IDF will not allow harm to come to Israeli civilians and will continue to act to protect the State of Israel and its citizens."

President Donald Trump has told reporters Sir Keir Starmer is "no Winston Churchill" in the row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes on Iran.

The US had sought to use the military base in Diego Garcia on the Chagos Islands, but the PM refused, only agreeing to the US request to use British military bases subsequently for "defensive" strikes on Iranian missile sites.

Speaking to journalists in the Oval Office, Trump said he was "not happy with the UK" over the decision, which led to US planes "flying many extra hours".
