Concern over tension in the Middle East

JOHANNESBURG - Conflict in the Middle East is intensifying after Iran launched a barrage of 180 missiles into Israel.

Israel has vowed to retaliate, escalating tensions in the region.

This comes shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a full-scale ground invasion of Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah militants.

There is now growing concern that the increased tension may spread through the Middle East, and what the global consequences may be.
