Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport has suspended operations, delaying incoming flights after the military launched a series of strikes towards Lebanon.

The Israeli forces say they've launched pre-emptive strikes on Hezbollah positions after accusing the armed group of preparing to launch an extensive attack.

There's been concern in recent weeks that Hezbollah, along with Iran, were planning to retaliate after the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut.
