It comes Israel escalates hostilities against Iran’s allies in the Middle East – amid fears the region could be on the brink of all-out war.

Israeli tanks have been seen massed on its northern border with Lebanon as military chiefs mull whether to stage a land invasion against Hezbollah.

In a separate strike in the early hours of Monday, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said three of its leaders were killed in Beirut’s Kola district.

It is the first attack within the city limits.
