1:03 am
and what we're seeing today are the fruits of this great leader, the sacrifices he offered for over 20 years. no one has taken responsibility for the attack. meanwhile, the u. a state department is branded as ridiculous. any suggestions that either it's israel is responsible, buddy runs president abraham, right? you see is unequivocal warning, what he calls the zionist entity that it will pay a price for the cabman bombing. a speculation regarding who is responsible is right . my personal gathering is that this has been his real, this has been most thought definitely for me. this completely clear considering base events in the last 10 days, the terrorist attacks they started in damascus, then they can be rude. now, in a run, how does urge portion until investigations all complete isis have shown that it,
1:04 am
it is willing to do that. israel might have wanted to, uh, move an escalate that goes to yvonne to force it to do something. uh that might escalate things and get a drag van ida states against yvonne who runs government declared thursday a day of morning promising that the country's reaction will be swift and overwhelming. mike level o d 0 united states had already said that neither. no, israel was responsible for those bloss, and in the last couple minutes there's been a sort of development to explosions. according to a senior abided by the administration official that killed nearly a 100 people and wounded scores of others at that ceremony looked like a terrorist attack of the kind of ice this has been responsible for in the past. so that's the latest coming out of washington area i spoke to, to parsi, who is the executive vice president at the quincy institute in washington,
1:05 am
dc. he says iran is responsible, depends on who is found responsible for the explosions. it's unclear who could be behind it, but you put your finger on some of the potential culprits. of course, we have seen an escalation between yvonne and israel, or the course of the last few weeks just about 10 days ago or so. these are at least did assassinate and move on in general, and certainly obviously difficulties who have attacked these really ships and the frustration in israel dobbs. in their view, yvonne has been able to get away with a lot of measures against us. but you also have ices related groups who have conducted the terrorist attacks in the von, in the past non of this scale. but nevertheless, of similar kind is, and you also have the m e k terrorist organization who used to be on the u. s. as in the service list but. ready checking all the reasons they haven't. ready extensively and terrorism side of the law and they also work closely with these
1:06 am
various, particularly when it came to disaster nation of the volume scientists. so if it turns out that it is the n k, then the question is, was there also is really damage in, in the case operations? well, i suppose, depending on who it's found to be, will, to some extent determine the nature of the writing and response. but the senior, any leaders are promising such a response. what kind of shape might that take? again, very much depends on who they conclude that it is the audience do have a ballistic missile capability that has become increasingly accurate. they have targeted specific buildings in houses around the middle east, in a box and serial now square in the past, and which they say the terrorist cells were hiding that had committed access her against the wrong well as the laws lead us as the assassination of a senior, how much the official and the lebanese capital on tuesday will not go announce that house on us are all that cause it? a flagrant is really aggression is in a hold of reports now from basic of israel's war with some us has reached the
1:07 am
southern suburbs of baby boot the fight targeting. so la, rudy. the groups mainly during the ban on and the political and military stronghold of hezbollah. israel crossed a line. the lebanese armed groups leaders says the crime won't go unpunished. the n y name aplus just saw that this was a serious incident, a crime. they hit the root southern suburb for the 1st time since 2006. this was an is really message, even though it said it wasn't targeting hezbollah and 11 on who believes that in howards believe that hezbollah is already a tour with israel along lebanon's southern border, where they have been exchanging cross border fire, the lebanese group, open the front to help relieve its ally hum us in gaza. but according to industrial, the fighting will continue to remain calculated and confined to the border. that
1:08 am
could change if israel launches all out or new effect, whoever thinks of a war with us. in one word, people regret it because of war with us will be costly until now we are taking into consideration the situation in loving on a national interest. but if war is launched against living on, it will be in the interest of lebanon that we enter the war with our full military capabilities. hezbollah strategy has been a delicate balance of waiting a war without wages one that could cause lebanon, already in financial ruin, to pay a high price. israel has threat to turn baby boot into another garza to say stripe was a 1st time is rose, hit the 11 east capitol since its last 4, which has been lost in 2006. it was also the 1st time as well. so deep inside the country, since it's late phillips, these with the group triggered by the warrant because of the gun 3 months ago,
1:09 am
row has been threatening a large scale operation in lebanon. if hezbollah doesn't pull back from the border, i ruiz assassination. doesn't appear to be a provocation, but it violated the rules of engagement, which means hezbollah will need to restore it's the terrence center for their elders. ita bailed. meanwhile is ready as drunk is killed for hezbollah members in southern lebanon. it happened in the kora 5 other fighters of the lebanese group were also killed in separate strikes on wednesday, a total of 9 members were killed in the past 24 hours, making it one of the deadliest days across the board of fy. since the beginning of the war on gauze honda salute is joining us now from occupied east jerusalem. and to let start on that speech by how something us relevant kind of messaging, he was sending israel's way. what do you think was being detected on these very side of the bullet? there has been no official reaction from these rallies. all know,
1:10 am
sit on the speech, but you can rest assured they were watching quite closely given the exchanges of fire that are continuous on israel's northern border and lebanon, southern border, the army chief of staff. first, see how levy on wednesday was actually visiting the northern border. it's just the day after the assassination of how this leader saw, if liability, on lebanese soil. he says that's the readiness alert for these really military is at its peak and he was holding situational assessments. there to go over above defensive and defensive plans for what these really might want to do next. he also stress that the current situation is an opportunity for the israel is to change the security status quote that is on the northern border. remember, there had been tens of thousands of people who have since been evacuated since these changes. the fire started on october the 8th, and we're just the day after the war began. but remember,
1:11 am
these rarely as have been saying for months since the war broke out, but no matter where, how mess leaders are, they weren't going to target them. and that policy was not going to be exclusive to gossip, but it was also going to take place in lab. and on algeria, turkey, i thought wherever they might be, they want to get rid of how mass is political and military leadership entirely. but something else that is worth noting is that his bola had previously said they were don't going to tolerate any sort of targeted assassinations on lebanese soil. so these really say they're ready for anything and they are prepared for the worst possible outcome. well, indeed, on a very delicate situation on his rose northern border. what, what do we know about these latest strikes that would be made in southern lebanon as well? you know, that is really strikes on a 3 story building in the southern lebanese town of nikoto has killed at least 3
1:12 am
members of his beloved that according to lebanese media, has bullet itself, not confirming since the beginning of those exchanges of fire. you're looking at a $139.00 has bullfighters who've been killed since october the 8th, when this all started. but remember, these really have been saying, but for any sort of rock and fire artillery, fire, any sort of groups of fighters, they detect to be a drones that they are going to strike. and this has been the policy for around 3 months now that for tally ation, the exchange is a fire continuous. and these really are me actually releasing a statement just moments ago, commenting about some of the other strikes they had carried out earlier in the day . and loving these territory, but no comment yet on this strike that has killed at least 3 people in the hold on . okay, how does that and occupied easters and thank you very much. palestinians across the
1:13 am
occupied westbank have staged a general strike to move on the killing of the senior hon. i see to sought out other ruin in his hometown of iraq. his family as being remembering a son under brother knew that abraham reports from ara, north of ramallah, of 2 decades behind bars. and 13 years in exile sole. i had already spent more time away from his family home. then in 81 years old, the ide, what is mother has not seen him since he was the port that from the occupied westbank in 2010 a. m. uh surely he asked me, would you rather me stay in jail or did the person i said living in other countries, you wouldn't be able to get married and have children. he had to god's done one boy alone to israel. he was a terrorist to palestinians. he was indeed there the man who found it how mouse admitted to wing the assembly gates in the occupied westbank to his family. he was
1:14 am
a son and a brother who shoulder the burden of living under israel's occupation as probably she it wouldn't matter who the most difficult was when they arrested him him for months. we didn't know anything about him. we couldn't even get them to allow our lawyers visit to how does he wasn't military interrogation and started to confinement. and last 45 kito 6. my mother almost collapsed when she saw him, then this is the family says, choosing the path of resisting the occupation meant that his days were numbered. in october, his home and i wrote a village near the law was demolished, morton by palestinians across the territory. the further party called for a general strike to come home or at his desk and put them his assassination in the occupied westbank for he was born and raised not only is remembered as a, i'm not the seen on restoring national thomas city in unity. i'm working
1:15 am
and internal divisions, senior defense actually there to do between as you joined protesters and drama, he didn't speak to the media, but so the idol with you as a loyal sites are for policy time for who dedicated his life to serving the cause. both he en oddity would enrolled into conciliation talks between 5 to have him off over the years even before the how mazda attack on southern israel. on october, the 7th, i already talked israel's hip list. he was the group, 2nd most senior official, but to many palestinians here. also a son, and a respected leader. me that, but to him i just need to do the occupied westbank. the us state department of said it wasn't given an advance notice of the strikes that killed top home us officials set out a re but in an e mail to alj a 0, the department of defense has said it was on his way. the strike is ro,
1:16 am
hasn't acknowledged responsibility for the attack she 100 times. he has more now on this from the us state department in washington, dc on wednesday was the moment for the administration to have it spokespeople 1st time. they faced the precedence and in the new year to put themselves on the rack will just say they did not know who was responsible for the assassination in buried matthew miller. here at the state department, we have no assessment as to who was responsible, but we weren't informed to advance. and then john cubby at the white house, national security council spokesman saying we're not in a position to confirm a specific reports on how it happened or who is responsible. i basically don't have any great detail on who was responsible, no indication that as well was responsible. so they, we, i was all on the record. but then just in the last hour, we finally got a response from us central command, which is the, the, the military come on in charge of them, at least amongst other, among other regions. and use, ask here in dc, it actually helps him over 24 hours ago. say would you have any information about
1:17 am
the assassination they finally on? so just in the last hour, and it's very matter of fact. good afternoon, the strike was ms. riley strike. please refer will questions to ideas. very respectfully, some call media of us. so this would appear to be part of the past, and that certainly the anomalous officials are the name on this or send call immediate us. but anonymously, they all, were you thinking that, i mean it's pretty clear, i know exactly who carried out this assassination. but on the record that the line is we have no idea and i got your tone cubby there when he was an aust followup question. if at all you're actually trying to investigate who was responsible and he said he wasn't aware of any investigation for whether whether the centcom email was part of a brand strategy shaping the narrative, or just simply a bit of callousness. well, history will have to tell, have that story peps as well. andrea dessie is assisting professor and international relations and global politics at the american university of rome. and he's joining us from that. now. thank you very much for
1:18 am
joining us again in this news. our um, when you obviously hear that from our correspondent in washington dc, a confirmation to the americans at least that it was in his really striking no great surprise. i think to anybody uh, not least has but uh, what did you make of house on us as well as speech and what does it say about the potential next steps and this conflict? do you think of a small thank you very much. i think the speeds on one level, so the definitely the steadfastness and strength of the resistance on how staging down has the loss is not afraid of a war. ready israel, on another level, however, there was definitely, uh, a note of caution. a note of restraints or a careful balancing act between not being to the excessively kind of being dragged into an actual conflict. because the stakes are very, very high for 11 and for, for the region. of course. and for the population of level, i'm especially has been out there for uh, i think to calculate,
1:19 am
did very well or carefully as words with how to respond to this. the warning of the revenge is going to come. i think that however has, but i will, these fights are calculating in terms of when and how to respond to this specifically because it does not want to be dragged into a major regional confirming at the same time we've heard now further uh, targeted strikes against as below fighters and we should remember that over a 100 has the last slide has not been killed since the 8th of october. and therefore this front is already an active front and active waterfront. there are being daily exchanges of fire across the 11 on these. ready borders and therefore the escalation, the risk of a conflict is definitely buried there. and very, really, at the same time, not wanting to be goaded into an excessive conflict, i think is the number one issue or number one i am interest of has been a lot the moment specifically because it does not want to distract necessarily attention from what is happening in god's that which is the heart of the issue and
1:20 am
therefore does not want to call in some respects and anthony aus bloss on this attack. or when you say it's, it's a very, it's a hot situation across the border. and just in terms of what's happened on wednesday, 9 has block fights is killed, making it, i believe at the deadliest day, all these exchanges. so 54 has blah, i mean, it does show that whatever the messaging from either side, these things can sometimes have them and some of their own and escalates just through shared domino effect are absolutely the risk of miscalculation the risk of a domino effect or on a or targeted strikes which get out of hand and therefore dragging further responses and therefore further escalations. this is what is on everyone's mind. and i think it is on the foremost mind of the united states of the binding administration, which are slowly being issuing a number of statements which are slightly a bit more critical with regards to israel. although we are very far away from real
1:21 am
efforts to restrain israel. and these are the guys us at the same time, i think that the by doing this ministration is getting particularly worried about the risk of. ready regional conflict and this would be devastating for it for of course the region, the populations of the regents, but for an international setting in the international community. i am and, and holes. and absolutely, i would say also that the responsibility for such a adventure while it would be also phone to the by now administration because of its continued the backing and blank checks given to is rolling over. now we're almost entering the forest model. so the goal of the war on god's us, uh, this is the issue. this is where there needs to be diplomatic efforts. put in play . there needs to be pressure put in place. also on the european union side. joseph bradley, european unions for administer high representatives, mentioned today or in a few hours ago in lisbon that the world must impose a solution to and the guy is a conflict. this is where we are head. ready i would also add that it's not only
1:22 am
the gaps or conflict, but it is rated by the student and conflict more broadly. and therefore these really occupation 56 years of occupation. this is the, the key issue that needs to be addressed or needs to be addressed diplomatically, not through targeted, surprised starting to get ceilings or war. that's a switch attention. is that the to what took place in iran earlier those 2 explosions coming scores of people. um there's also being a message coming a more definitive one from the, by the ministration in the last half hour. so saying that that already said that it was not a us or is really involved attack. but now saying that it seems more like an assistant style attacking that have been such attacks inside iran in recent times. what do you make of that? well, there's no doubt that this is a devastating attack uh there of mean for a outgo rings of, of the condemnation for this attack, it is definitely a terrorist attack to those targeted civilians. and this is the number one kind of
1:23 am
important issue to, to, to mention over a 100 dads and, and therefore this is another indication of how high the risks are and how high the, the escalation is across the entire region. it is too early to tell us with regards to who exactly carry this out. i'm sure we will have a lot of investigation, a lot of speculation as well on the on who carried it out. there are a number of possibilities. eyes. this is of course one. there are also other possibilities. the n e k mat k is another possibility, but i would not exclude also the p u case, which has also been engaged in a number of activities with any rand in any event. uh, i would expect to definitely as soon as the, the opiates are, are identified a significant response on the side of the round. because this is a, a very serious attack in a very important day as well. commemorating the murder of some of the customs with the money, and therefore there will be a response on this issue as well. it is too early to tell, however, to, to,
1:24 am
to indicate with clarity who, who is behind this. all right, andrea, just say thank you for your insights and your time for me. right. or thank you. let's be no less up on the ground in gaza with israel continuing. his bombardments of central and southern pots of district. the southern region of rough law has been hit hard biased when he strikes. plumes of smoke could be seen from the makeshift refugee camp. the residents have been searching through the rubble for survivors and hun. eunice have also being shelled the engine palestinians, and the bodies of the dead had been brought to the abu yusef, i'll not jar hospital in rough uh, more than 22000 people have been killed in gaza since the start of these really offensive on the 7th of october dark i was, is in rafa in southern gaza and has this report 7 palestinians have to report to killed after being directly hit by and is really military driven. me saw you as an upper residence, also have been injured in this attack,
1:25 am
being driven to an adar hospital to get the treatment. and the tax to day happened in 2 separate locations inside roughly in the north and in eastern areas of the district. alongside with similar ongoing attacks, but with more high intensity bombing in con you, in a city where 20 palestinians have been killed by the is verify is in these areas and on an ongoing repeated attacks by the are, is very ought to be shooting. in con, you just along side with the middle go for an age of cause a step now in the cause, the refugee can palestinian fighters. these moments are crashing with these really military troops who are trying to uh, to supply the middle coordinates into separate regions. just to have a full control over the over needs of the gaza strip as they have been doing in the know the right part of the territory of destroying more than 70 percent of the residential buildings. the also,
1:26 am
the tax continued to take place in the notes that part of the goals are stripping to found. you refuse to come this time despite the withdrawal of the usability of military troops from specific areas of, from the north, but 20 palestinians. they have been killed in japan yet refugee camp off to destruction of a complete residential neighborhoods. square residents are still trapped in the parts of the gaza strip alongside in the central areas of kansas city. now the neighborhoods of kansas city had been also, i see its a foot confrontations, but we palestinian scientists. and these really so we just and these ongoing military attacks today have resulted the death of more than 120 palestinians alongside with more than 260 others who have been wounded. and of course, as the work progresses, humanitarian medical situations along site with the security one. as you can see clearly here, right now, the sound of it is very fine to just send the surveillance of drones will definitely get much more difficult and bloody as the east valley military officials
1:27 am

1:36 am
which formed a maritime coalition to the terror attacks last month. cool on the council to mount a global response. these attacks post grave implications for maritime security, international shipping and commerce. and they undermine the fragile humanitarian situation in yemen. damaging the ability of the international community to deliver assistance to more than 21000000 people in need. it is vital that the council speak and speak now on the need to uphold international law, as well as navigational, rights, and freedoms. even as we continue to demand that the, who, the stop these attacks, which are clear violations of international law, we must not overlook the root of the problem. your ron has long enabled these attacks by the who these colleagues, the threatened navigational rights and freedoms in the red sea is a global challenge and necessitates a global response. but coming back,
1:37 am
