2:03 pm
. but other commanders have been killed in syria and in iraq. so this seems to be a new strategy and no doubt another blow to hezbollah, which really has been responding and retaliation to these attacks over the past few days. it targets it to basses deep inside as well. i mean, deeper than the battle ground, the battle ground is approximately 4 to 5 kilometers on each side of the border. they're targeting an air control air traffic control base a few days ago. and today, a military headquarters, the northern military headquarters, some 12 kilometers deep inside as well. mm hm. but it doesn't seem to be detouring . the is ray, the army. if you talk to people here, most of them will tell you these are people who are also close to hezbollah. they believe that israel is trying to drive, has been locked into an all out confrontation, right? something that has bullet has been trying to avoid both through its actions and this words if hezbollah has been trying to avoid an old lot confrontation,
2:04 pm
as you say, xena, how might they respond if these targeted killings of both come off in his folder latest continue, they will have to respond at some point. well, no doubt this credibility is image that is all i say, can you talk to husband the commanders or officials say they will tell you that they are hurting the is really army by targeting military bases by forcing tens of thousands of it's very nice to remain displaced unable to return home, they believe their biggest achievement has been as well as lack of security along the northern front. and this is what this route was as well. one security restored, restore it along the border, but has a lot isn't a difficult situation because yes, it converts as well as can hits deep inside as well. but as well can also hurts, not just has beloved with members of its constituency. it can target the southern suburbs of babies where more than half a 1000000 people live, where will they go at
2:05 pm
a time where the country's economy has all but collapse even having a house on the front of this as well. the secretary general has said, we have to say club and on national security uh interest the uh into consideration when making decisions. but no doubt there's an escalation in this conflict as well . testing the limits if you like, violating the red lines, the rules of engagement. so far when hezbollah choose this military targets, we're still very much within the rules of engagement of this ongoing conflict. zayna, thank you for the update charges here is dana honda reporting their life from tyre in 711 on. let's find out about the situation in northern israel now in speak to laura con, who's in slow me. right. they've been rocket sirens going off me a where you are. tell us about what's been happening. that's yeah, i mean we've been hearing sirens throughout at the morning and it's been going on along the 120 kilometer board of getting closer and closer to us. as they know what
2:06 pm
our correspondent explained. the nose and front has been hit the is ready on the installation. it's about 20 kilometers away from us. but it's also the so this point from the boat with hezbollah that's actually being hit now that with no injuries sustained out from this drain, strike out. so as far as we know, there's not much damage as well. um, but i just wanted to show exactly why we're in slowing me, i'm scratchy behind me. there is a big um, sorry about the language that you can hear that there is a big zigzag rule out. this was a fence until about 2 years ago. now it's at and it's really voltage wolf on one side is that you have the lebanese living on, on the other side of israel. and if you just go south down, you can see some of those houses that also is really at. now that's
2:07 pm

2:08 pm
a 150 people are left at now is the ready defense minutes? so you'll have kalonde said he doesn't want to return until hezbollah is pushed all the way back from the boulder he's talking about. so as to columbus says, at the moment that they're pulling some suggest good post this ridge, they say this is the natural is ready, parent tree. but they want massive concessions and it's very, it's highly unlikely. has bull is going to agree with them. so at the moment we're having these tit for tat strikes between the 2 sides, but with a lot of pos string and a lot of strengthening of military language here. and from the top is ready officials. many people say, of course a why the conflict through a very volatile situation along that border suddenly laura con, thank you for that. laura of reporting a lie from a northern israel, meanwhile is or as ami is continuing its offensive in central and southern gaza despite claims, it's shifting to less intense warfare. these are pictures from the all my guys,
2:09 pm
the refugee camp in the central guy district is really military has been have any striking the area i'll be raised. camp has also been targeted. scores of injured palestinians have been rushed to nasa hospital in con eunice in the south way. israel says it's ground operations are expanding within $23200.00 policy means have been care since october, the 7th casualties. also mounting on the is really side is how most, why does battle troops across the strip? these are the army says 9 of its soldiers were killed on monday. that brings a number of these really sort of scales since the ground invasion began to more than a 118. let's find out about the latest on the ground in a guys that with honey my hold was in rafa forest and 7 guys. a so honey intense bombing of central and southern areas of the guys, a strip continues to spite israel, claiming itself conducting what it costs a less than $10.00 space of this war. tell us 1st about the south where you are and
2:10 pm
what's happening there as well as the war just entered this 3rd phase, everybody was expecting a distillation in the area of a bargain. but what we're seeing is the storage of the air strikes and the artillery ceiling here in brooklyn city, an area that houses so far, 1500000 displaced. how a scene is coming from across the gaza strip. we can simply that more than half of the population now has been changed into squeezed and pushed into this a small strip of land here in in dropbox. so it'd be rough i compared to other parts of the area is very small, but the most intense fighting is taking place right now in the central area, namely and abrasion and not as a refugee camp. that's a central part of the gaza strip. and since these really military expand it, it's military operations that expanded the artillery swimming and there's
2:11 pm
on the ground. we're looking at a stream fighting going on. not only just the, there are a strikes that are finishing, but there are reports about a clashes and confrontation between telephony and finding room in the bridge. the refuge account about how they work is you can particularly right after it is ready . military announced the uh, the cooling goal for is sol jersey and the latest updates it when video routes and impose they were talking about 99 is really social work. no belong to a special force. the we're operating in the central area. the reports of from the jerusalem post is consistent with the statement made by the palestinian find a group underground who declared that they were 9 soldiers that belong to a special force. a group we're operating in on varies. right. because you can barely our, of this morning again, hon. you and it's, we're not only we see an expansion of the military operations in to find it,
2:12 pm
but also the destruction of land marks there and more residential towers just furthering the, the problem of, of this placement due to entire population, antonio and his honey, we just heard an ambulance passed by behind you the tell us about the situation. i ad hospitals that are still functioning because of course the in central gaza for example. there are very few hospitals, uh, functioning and uh for an end users that have been helping out in some of the hospitals like i like so in central guys have have to pull out what, what is the situation like in, in the remaining hospitals that are still available to people in cost as the bullet, the situations are extremely difficult right now and then drop that particular we're not looking at the large sized hospital operating here. all the hospitals here in the health facilities are either mid sized hospital or small sized medical centers or a, a clinic that privately own
2:13 pm
a clinic. but what we're looking at now here he's for example, where we're reporting from within the definitive that can we be hosted just the main entrance right behind me. here is a injuries arrived here to the hospital and they don't see more than half an hour as they did. the hospital is running out of space right away. it doesn't have the capacity to receive large number of injuries or what happens. so ambulance is sick, take these injuries right here after you're getting their information and dispatch them and send them into a job at hospice. and it's a mid sized hosp to the larger than that way to hospital with better equipment at relatively and more space compared to this hospital or the gaza. or if you're in hospice. but so far, most the injuries are now concentrated in measure hosp to that as the road leading to gather if you're in a hospital, the coming very dangerous, risky and possible artillery. so then go in the very road leading the house, but that's ok or is everyone every day off in during the day?
2:14 pm

2:15 pm
saudi arabia traceable has the latest i'm occupied as to so there's lots of issues on the table right now that need to be discussed between as well as members of government and on sunday, blink. and right now it's a very, very busy agenda. initially he initiated this trip for the talks about increasing too many terry and assistance to guy. so discussing the possibility of what will happen in a post of war. uh guys, uh, also the possibility and pushing as well to in a way diminish the number of civilian casualties that we have seen in gaza right now. but so many tyree and crisis that exist in guys us at this point. however, what is riley saying at this point is that they are ready to move to what is known as the 3rd stage of the war, a different type of attacks targeted attacks, special forces. what we're seeing on the ground until now is quite different as a and attacks and if i knew and isn't gas a continue, but still that is why these are saying different other thing to move forward to
2:16 pm
a different stage of this war. there's lots of differences between the united states and israel of antennae blink and came here in a way many saying that he wanted to propose a 2 state solution, something that prime minister benyamin nothing yackel does not believe. and he's also hoping to push the swell to allow the palestinians and guys who have been moved from the north towards the south to be allowed to move back towards the north of the country to whatever is left there after the bomb big campaign. that's something that is really saying that won't happen. small the days news coming up on algae 0, including taiwan spreads, eventually, election campaign enters its final phase, will tell you what the voting parties candidate has been saying about china. the, as the world is increasing the crypt and the mental health epidemic i was getting inside the tax every day before school. it was hard to find
2:17 pm

2:18 pm
challenges with the, [000:00:00;00] the welcome back. a recap of our top stories. on alex's 03 people thought to be hezbollah members have been killed in his really striking southern 11 on it. comes a day after a drone attack killed one of his 4 less top commanders we found out to we 11 he's on group has hit israel's main, northern commanding, suffered with drones. it says the attack saw in response to the assassination of its senior members and a mazda,
2:19 pm
2nd in come on sunday ivory and is really strikes have been targeting refugee counseling central guys. the entire homes have been destroyed in con eunice in the south. more than 23200 college students have been killed simself to over the 7th. joining us now to discuss all these latest developments these mohammad on last week who was a professor of media studies at the deadlines that you for graduate studies. thank you for joining us. let's start with the situation along the israel 11 on the border with this new campaign of target it assassinations of hamas and hezbollah. anita is by israel. it seems like is where i want to drag hezbollah into a wider conflict that will they succeed as well. that's what remains to be seen. right. but it certainly looks like israel is trying to drag of a lot into into something on a wider scale. it's not exactly clear why is real wants to do that. there been different sort of speculative analyses. bye bye,
2:20 pm
bye pundits one. i think maybe the, the strongest analysis might be that netanyahu himself wants to do this for his own personal political agenda. right. but it's perplexing, especially when you consider the fact that intelligence us intelligence and intelligence included these analyses suggest that israel would not be wise to open up a wider front that they, they can't fight on multiple fronts. right now. they just don't have the, the capacity. your question is an important one. i don't think any of us know exactly will be the red line. what would cost you a red line for us for that? because as we've heard from our correspondent, they've also tried not to widen this out. they don't want a full scale war with this, right? right. let me have red line for you. know, your guess is as good as mine, right? i mean, these are very dangerous provocations. i mean, israel is doing, yeah, i basically on a campaign of targeted assassination and it remains to be seen to what extent has velocity is just going to sort of sit back on. they've been responding,
2:21 pm
but it's on a very limited scale as, as you've been reporting. you've also been reporting got the lebanese economy is pretty much collapsed. so the question is, you know, to what extent can loving on even afford this kind of a large scale war and your gust, as honestly as good as mine, as to whether or not as well that will be willing to do that. and interestingly, this latest targeted attack on has 4 legs coming on the day that blink in the us, secretary of state is in israel, holding talks with these really is the us trying to prevent a wide, a conflict. i mean, what message does that send to the americans that israel is doing this while their top different matters is trying to de escalate the situation? yeah, i mean, it's interest saying that every single time blinking has come, there has been an escalation by, by israel. it's almost as though israel is sending messages to multiple parties, the us, including that look, we're gonna, we're going to do as, as we want here,
2:22 pm
but $250.00 people killed in 24 hours. you have the targeted session assassinations . so there's certainly doesn't seem to be any light out. i thought it was interesting what blinking said his opening comment talked about trying to present a wider concert. he didn't say anything, at least in his initial comments about the genocide, no doubt in causal. you didn't talk about the humanitarian crisis that is playing out in gaza. so it kind of gives you some insight into where us concerns. yeah. line and how do you prevent a wider conflict when you don't put out the fire that's going on and gas and 1st, right? absolutely. yeah. and we have to remember that the us has started to be supported as well from the start. they're the ones who were saying from the very beginning that we're not going to give israel any red line. stephen, as international law scholars were cautioning that this was either a genocide or a genocide in the making. they repeated is really propaganda. talking points about the headed babies rates and other points as well. one of the, of my 3,
2:23 pm
thank you very much for analysis. good to talk to you about this the, let's take a look at some of the stories now making headlines around the world. the president of ecuador has declared a state of emergency after in a toy. as gang leader escaped from prison on sunday, police have launched a 900 for jose adult for mass. yes, you assuming is 34 years sentence with drug trafficking and met it. i found it on the tv. this is jose ad or for my cs, better known to speak to the leader of the powerful list. to me, it was getting in ecuador, he was serving a long sentence for murder, drug trafficking, and organized crime. in this maximum security prison in the for city of the why appeals that on sunday, when so we'll just rated the sensor. as part of the government crackdown, tory to says he was nowhere to be found. the government launched
2:24 pm
a major operation to recapture him so far with no results in an operation involving more than 3000 people in the prison has been rated in search of the most 100 prisoner. and the operation continues and authority screaming or suspected of having play the role in the assassination of presidential candidate to the end of the sensor. last year, peter's auston, this 5 deltore these docs. he has escaped prison before and recently appeared in this music video, partly filmed inside the jail and sung by his daughter, glorifying, gets criminal exploits. following fetus escaped, incidents have been reported in several prisons across the country. inmates were seen standing on roofs as they held prison guards hostage inside, fretting them with knives. mr. president, please reconsider your decisions. don't let yourself be driven by impulses and false expectations on a settlement. are you going to be? i'm waiting for the band. this is the 1st major prison crisis for the recent,
2:25 pm
the elected president, the noble by 9 empire. here with little political experience, we took over the november promising to reduce violence of the case i would be in again on monday he announced that 2 months state of emergency. okay, some of the boss we're seeing in the countries prisons as the result of our decision to confront investors why the government has taken action, so that will allow us to regain control of the prison instead of been lost in iceland yet. but some analysts say the president's plan is failing. the queen took care of, i'm not right at the level. it seems like the facing the crisis repeating the same reset, pay of the previous government. it has been proven that declaring the state of emergency is no. an efficient way to contain cron says homicides keep growing an equal door. and there was a risk that we will remain the most violent country in less than america in 2024. by in recent years, equity, there has been living to an unprecedented security crisis fueled by drug
2:26 pm
trafficking and that l. tory piece of failed to address. these latest developments seem to suggest more troubles ahead. less than that, i get the address either. the presidential candidate from taiwan swimming potty has voice concerned about the future of the self governing island. the head of elections on sunday also want he also f e. sorry, the late king di leaching da. sorry. also on the fence from china whose democratic congress progressive party is facing a strong change from the k m. tea party that favors closer ties would be. tony chang has often type a, the vice president line had a message for the international community. and that was the piece in the taiwan strait is an international issue. he said this is going to be the most anticipated election for 2024. across from his perspective is he also can see that the want aspiring to peace. we have no illusions
2:27 pm
a reference to many people's concern. here in taiwan, china is applying a very important part. in this election, he said that if elected on saturday, he would work to build up defense. the parents is and he said the piece is priceless war has no when it's china or to to return to the rules based global order. that said, it is going to be a very tough last couple of days of campaigning. the t p p, which has been in power for the last 2 tons space is a very stiff challenge from the woman dung, the cam t. there's also as the policy and the selection, the t p p. and they have been doing surprisingly well, particularly with young voters who could be very important in this election. so while the international community may well be looking at taiwan, chinese issues over the next couple of days, those standing on the pallets,
2:28 pm
we're looking very much the domestic audience. tony chang al jazeera type, breaking news from the israel 11 non border and they are reports of another target as striking 711 on which i hate a connie of the house of the senior hezbollah commander was killed on monday. we sent the wheels. funeral is about to take place nearby. more information on this breaking news story. when we speak to our correspondent on the ground to stay with us on, i'll just share the the hello. we should start to see the temperatures picking up across and all of them positive china as they go on through the next couple of days on the cloud. just coming in here, how it pressure is in charge for the time being. so withdrawing a, an all wheel ne, we went across the system for the time being, but the temperatures will recover as it go through the next couple of days for the south pickup larry with
2:29 pm
a wet weather just coming out of the southeast of china. that will spread its way towards the power of japan, is looking pretty unsettled. actually, over the next couple of days, it wintery shower as close to west the side of homes. you most know that into what kind of small, right across the southern most policies we go one into with the state. you can see that the width of weather pulls away prices, guys to come back up. the pressure is up a little at that time. temperature is there's a said recovering across the crate, potentially. i know them areas of china, shanghai picking up 3 or 4 degrees by this stage as well. much of southern china will be dry. by the time we come to the 2nd half of the week that may want across the south asia, a lot of wet weather around actually nice to be able to stop. it's just around. so like a southern areas of india, some live the showers continuing here, wanted to showers across the plains as well as we go on 3 1st day,
2:30 pm
the cold and the smoke that continues to send off as it is a tenant object to produce object. these coverage, many parts of his really media are effectively engaging in propaganda or genocide. what these really military was telling us does not fit in with what evidence they have so far. and yet, on the fringes of this way, the public discourse and seeing more voices persist sale, calling the traitors. the listening close covers how the news is come to watch this space where the story goes. next, it's the latest direct attack. fine is really forces on media. what? cuz i'll just say i'm a journalist comes, i'll talk to a colleague, killed it is really struck on comes this call way. is israel targeting so many journalists? and what's the reaction of the world's media?
