Lebanon’s prime minister has criticised Hezbollah for failing to disarm, saying that its refusal to do so is hurting the Lebanese people at a time when the country is trying to recover from the group’s war with Israel last year.

In new violence, Israel carried out another round of airstrikes on suspected Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon.
