#investment #finance - Israel Steps Up Attacks on Hezbollah; Macron Names New French Govt | Bloomberg The Pulse 09/23/24

23 September 2024

Israel stepped up air strikes against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on Monday morning, urging civilians to move out of the area. The Israel Defense Forces struck multiple targets as hostilities between the two sides intensified. as the two sides move closer to an all-out war. Last week, thousands of Hezbollah commanders and operatives were injured and several dozens killed in an orchestrated attack carried out via pagers and other communication devices which exploded simultaneously for two consecutive days in Lebanon and Syria. Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attacks. In France, President Emmanuel Macron’s new government sparked an immediate angry reaction from across the political spectrum, raising the risk of a swift collapse that would further cloud the outlook for France’s stretched public finances.
