Tensions between the Israeli military and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah are at an all-time high.
They've been engaged in low-level hostilities for more than eight months.

US President Joe Biden sent a special envoy to the region, hoping to defuse tensions and prevent a wider conflict.
But has it worked?
