Israeli motives questioned as Beirut becomes major target

As Israeli missile attacks in Lebanon focus increasingly on the capital, Beirut, we analyse exactly why the city has been bombarded. Has Israel's stated aim, of helping its citizens from the North to safely return home, now changed? Is Hezbollah's entire existence now in their sights instead? The Times' Edmund Bower joins us from Beirut to look at what we know so far and what might happen next. The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
