seems today happen just by what we need great intelligence. you need great precision. you need great, very great that for us all. so i've got set the power. but how do you just to, to work this is situating the past 45 years. that hasn't clearly, it has failed successfully, assassinations, displacement inversions incursions bombings and getting so complex of people as not sure. it's secure now and to try out as here is a senior political analyst that with that contribution from london today. thank you very much my the quote has just gone 1800 g m t uninstalled. you'd say you're watching alger 0. we are covering breaking news out of the 11 is capital bay route, where these randy minute tree says it is carried out

a targeted attack. and retaliation for south today's rocket attack, only occupied golden heights. now this happened in the southern side, the power quake. it's a known stronghold of the iran back his black group. the explosion we understand happened, jeanette, as well as shore a council, which is the group central decision making authority. so it's as close to has the law saying that 2 people have been killed. you're trying to independently confirmed that information for you as well as all me says the display root strike target to the has block them on did they believe responsible, fully occupied goal and height attack has leather has repeatedly denied any involvement in that or in the statements these really ami has said targeted in beirut. the come on, they're responsible for the mazda of the children and marsh, those terms and killed a many is ready civilians. at this point, there is no change in the directives of the home front. come on. if there are any changes, we will update as well that springing adi hash and he joins me not on the phone

from the roots. he is in the southern suburbs of the lebanese capital, very close to the size of the explosion. out of you were telling me that you were seeing the scene that and essentially a building has collapsed focused through what surrounding you right now? well no i'm, i'm outside this area, but i can say that yes, as you said, the building house collapsed, as we know now that there are 2 casualties. at least one of them is the woman that was taken to i didn't buy hospital southern people also. and just as this lady said, this was a situation attempt that we don't know whether this was conducted by a drone or a 55. because in the past, just few months ago, if we go back to january, as well as the night before, the had already the deputy probably bureau chief of how i'm us up by using these advice, a war place. so before now we don't know what to what was used in this attack. also

there's no indication whether the us as a nation attempt reported explanation attempt on the fly trickle, who is also normal as muffin sugar was successful or not. but the significance of this targeting is done this month, must ensure code on the fly trickle was among the top. actual enough has well large leadership. he's the probably along the maybe the more senior commander got entry in his below. he's one of the historical members of his will law, just like in the past i might need or was before metric and who am i supposed to make it in the past years in, in syria. now how this is going to change the rules of engagement, or whether this is going to change the rules of engagement that all updated to day by day or not. we can say the update as our by our, this is the big question. how it says a lot going to do with this situation. what i've is read conducted. i left as

a nation. hey, think administrative commander. it did not hit a civilian there. yeah. so i mean, it said it in pocket. this is going to put his life, went off a lot of questions and probably the decision makers in physical law would have to take is decision how to retaliate to this is really a doc, especially the doctor, is and maybe with southern southern golf course, all the equations before the 7th of october, to be taken into consideration right now that on new equations, that are also new decision making processes and at the end the fly abilities. and then i'll put it through questions if has the lives going because in the past has lots to go through. generally what say if they hit this solving solve dad's cell, he was going to be head telling me this is not the case anymore. now because we saw that when i don't really want skills and i just felt in, so my principal, i've talked and he's really advanced database in middle know probably with, with

a beginning. if i did, that's it. the nation attempt on a logical is ready to go through the moment. we don't have any confirmation from says blog with a bicycle on staff. what does a flash of good was injured called for logical once again, these are all issues to take into consideration and weighing how his boss is going to react. because any of the i need result of this i. so some ation attempt is going to have a different scenario if he's scared, that is a different scenario. if he, if he, if he survived, then what was going to be calling a call the targeting adults for beginning. so these are all issues to take into into consideration. but if we have to take the picture in general into this context of what's being happening in the past a few days, this is a new face, was talking a new phase and discomfort edition is what i've been trying as much as possible to

disconnect the front and nothing on from the front and job got to go to the licensing a cell and some of the locations. this is, it's a full trunk. what has what, what is what is trying to do is trying to disconnect the 221 a to find a solution was admitted to a solution part of the project solution. what has the lies diffusion back? i'm saying that without a teeth whitening garza, they're not going to stop the support from, from that on. well, i mean, just in the last 8 minutes or so, russia has said that they condemn the strikes that have taken place in lebanon. they're describing them as a flagrant violation of international law. obviously, there are a number of foreign policy who been very, very concerned about any kind of escalation that could we could result in an abroad or regional conflict. interesting the as you say, as well as weighing off its options right now. and there was that statements that we got from these really minute trees saying that there is no change and the

directives of the home front come on. so a signal that, that essentially they don't necessarily want to change the rules of engagement, but in deciding whether or not to escalate this even further. let me ask you, then, how much of foreign powers weighing in on, on as well as decision making at the moment. and when i say foreign powers, i'm particularly thinking here about a wrong. it was probably the most this moment. is it the sizes moment for his will? not because the big question. yeah. and it's we, we can have a lot of us on the, on the line. is that the tax, the question of the data is this is the main issue in this, in this confrontation and given the fact that the data is between the 2 sides, which is right on, has lives very high. that's one of the reasons why this frontier in lab or no one hasn't gone into an or no tool, because both sides have a lot of calculation. it's actually a given the fact each, each movement is being started by both sides. now with respect to long,

i believe he won and has the law both on the same page at the, at the moment. so then the decision making process is kind of unified. so table i wouldn't go for the decision without the radius of the radians would impose the decision i'm says would law without taking physical laws a calculations into consideration because physical lives, the one on the ground and they understand what's happening. if the detectives shaking this is going to have to have the implications on default 11 on the organization itself. i have shown that there was a very nice as far as for pushing from the lebanese capital, buried from the southern side. that's where that strike has literally just taken place in the last arrow. so ali, thank you very much. that's not bringing already gold back. he's in his really political commentator and he joins me now from tel aviv already. we've been talking about the potential for serious escalation all week,

especially since saturday. do you consider this to be the a no, i really don't. i think it is. ready exactly more of the same, it is, these are the playbook, and i'll do you one further. i think that by targeting, trying to assassinate the commander is a whole, is responsible for the attack on most of shaun's is always actually site to hers for the were willing to let you enjoy the benefit of the doubt. maybe this was the one that operation. maybe you didn't actually mean it. we're, we're pulling it 1st of all that here we're going exactly did for that. and that's it. as far as your concern, i got a physical i wrote rise to the quote unquote challenge that is almost placing here . i don't think it has the line just plain chicken with as well. so i don't think this is a trigger for serious installation in terms of, of how israel is viewing best friends. i'm curious about about public opinion that obviously there's

a wall ongoing and gaza that has become highly controversial for the nation. yahoo government, how do is way these feel about potentially deepening engagement on another front and in the north as well as early seals. several conflicting and sometimes contradictory sayings with regards to war and nothing is considered to be the most immediate solution to the profound political problem as repatriated in his early citizens who were hastily evacuated from the north of visual after october, 7 days of his doctor doesn't really know what to do and not to encourage the citizens to return home. some of them have no choice, the others are sticking it out, hoping for war it is a task redemption to some extent for the idea as the idea that sales detective, early in gaza. but it is. busy also a tremendous whole challenge probably to forbid about because the idea of disaster . ready or extended that it cannot expect to cite

a ground war and love it or alternately when so israelis for them for us were witnesses the lies always on the table but i cannot think of the, the less for fish as time for such a war is or as far as i was imploding israel. ready is, is in the midst of probably the most severe domestic crisis. it has ever experienced a lot of 11 on could perhaps rarely use or these around the side. but it's a sex would be disastrous and it would be almost immediately disastrous. so i think as early as we'll talk about the importance of the war, the relevance of the war need for war. but most as early as i know really for found they don't want to or, or you, i want to ask you about the incident that is really saying triggered this response, which is the, what israel was saying was a raucous attack. and most all sounds on saturday. that killed 12 people, many of whom were children on

a football pitch. now we've had lots of rhetoric from these really government, nothing yahoo himself went up to the end and claims that this was a direct attack on as well. yes, this is an area that's been occupied by israel, these a syrian communities. and in fact, when, when does and yahoo himself went up that he was told that he wasn't welcome. and he was asked by many community members to leave. how does as well view the occupied golden heights and actually what happened on saturday do is various view that as being a direct attack on is randy citizens. oh, it's a complicated question, is, are these you the occupied on heights is part of this? i remember that according to is, are the law that go along was a next to is rolling, is now part of is or leave and it does not recognize the international is all these are aware that some jurors in big around see themselves a syrian but over the last several years, these jewish communities under gong

a coach front of sorts with these early stake. the relationship is still. ready tends that it is less sense than it was, and i think the reaction to it to me, i was visit too much. the chance is not so much because it's a rejection of as early as much as it is because of a sense of abandonment by these drew's. and because of thing or that in my opinion is there and that's. ready the 5 is a does not do every single can to address the grievances as these years. it does not treat them as citizens. they are discriminated against most prominently but by our basic law of nationality which set to jews about. ready everybody else in this country including teachers. so i think the reaction was. ready very much anger, both at the is early states incompetence and also if these are other states lack of response after this horrific attack, i wouldn't be too much into the seriousness of the girl on or the is or alien s

those, the response, the drugs know exactly how the state of israel treats them right now it's very clear to them. i think hence the anger that they. ready used as a prop forth of war mongers, in the government is rarely coverage. or you talked about israel now living through and it's great systematic crisis ever. and i'm curious about how it's, how well this is being perceived in terms of, of this engagement with hezbollah. within the context of, of what's happening right now in gaza. there are talks taking place in cairo. there is a proposal on the table to essentially bring about a ceasefire. is there a concern that all of this is, is peripheral and could actually put that, that process into jeopardy? well, there's a concern about potential was the that remember. ready wherever the physical and where we live in on is something that is early. so i've experienced quite a few times over the last several decades. so this learn loving on is again,

a times perceived as a potential necessity, a times perceived as a hindrance or some sort of uh, um, less important, a series of events when compared with what's happening and gasoline. mostly the issue with leather known as a political. there there's a consensus of customize a real enemy, but there's also consensus that a war is a bad thing. so i think most israelis when they are thinking about the domestic crisis that is. ready experiencing, i think most of their attention is invested in gaza. i'm in the implications of the situation and guys on his early society, on his early politics. the world we live in on is again more a matter of overt consensus. i think most is where these assume is or will have to . ready with best buy at some point, just as most as early as right now, really you don't want for with physical law, not because they are in favor of

a piece of resolution necessarily, but because they think they have, they are much more urgent such to try it on or he calls back van as really political commentators and speaking to us from televi. thank you so much or a really appreciate your contribution of this very volatile time. thanks. are we all getting some more news just in the head of the lebanese on group has well as operation center most in chicago has proportionately survived what they're describing as an is really strike on the southern side. that's a very aimed at killing him on choose day to his senior security sources have told their voices and use agency. well, let's just recap the breaking news we've been covering if you're just joining us now here on to 0. so just before 1700 g m t and explosion that was had in the southern they read some of these really ami been announced and it carried out what it described as a targeted attack on a come on to of the run back on group has by now they've said that he was

responsible, they hold him responsible for that rocket attack on the occupied golden heights on saturday, which had a football field. 12 people were killed. hezbollah has denied their having any involvement. well that's getting more in order of this without correspondence. honda, so hurt, and so we have had a statement from israel, they, they put that out on their telegram channel. tell us more. well, the is really military was quick to say that they did. in fact, attack, they do it, and they said that they were targeting visas, bullet commander, who they said, quote, planned this attack on less than sounds that killed 12 people, many of them children. and these really military has been adamant since the beginning that it was his bullet who was responsible for this attack. but she's bo was quick to deny it then some say that was because they didn't want some sort of larger escalation with these really. but now we're hearing from his roles defense minister jo of go on, who released the statement saying, quote, his beloved crossed the red line. and we're also getting an image out of these

really prime minister's office showing him in israel's defense ministry known as victoria israel version of the pentagon, intel of a meeting with top security officials from these really military and his own national security advisor is the picture of him on the phone there while the strike was being conducted. now what to be is really is have been saying for the last few days since this rocket fell in motion and shops is that there is going to be a retaliation and that it is going to be something of grand measure. meaning that somewhere in dissipating it would be some sort of targeted assassination. but there is a lot of fears that this could explode really and send the conflict into a new type of direction. but the entire world is calling for. com. and you even had countries in the you, the united states urging for com, telling israel not to give in to some sort of larger attack in loving use territory . that could trickle some sort of regional conflict. well, for all talk of red lines, and we've had that from both sides. essentially,

this was, will this look certainly like a choice of a military target here? so it looks fairly limited in terms of the, the ground response. but the israel was promising and they're saying, but this doesn't necessarily change the terms of engagement with hezbollah. we're obviously waiting to see what hezbollah is going to do. but i'm curious as to whether or not these really public, you think, what will view this as, as a measured response given what happened on saturday. well, there's a mixed view within his really society. there is one that feels that the conflict should be over the war and gaza should be over. that israel should exercise common restraint when it comes to the situation that's volatile on the northern border so that the some, 80000 people can go back to those towns and settlements. but then there is another school of thought that says what israel should pound his bola, they should go to war with loving on. you have members of the far right of members have nothing y'all. who's on government like best and they're smaller, it's this is

a known alter nationalist who said the only solution here is to occupy southern 11 on. so there is a big school of thought different schools of thought rather on how this should all be handled. but the reality on the ground is that these really armies so overstretched, you the war on gaza, but it's 10 months and with no and insights with hundreds of debts, tens of thousands of injuries on just these rarely side. not to mention how many just on the pulse sitting inside during 40000, and then you have the situation in the north. can these really, really keep up with 2 active northern fronts? and there's a big school of thought that says no, they cannot. so these really prime minister you'll have gone ahead of these really military have all said that there prepare for war. they would do whatever necessary in order to quote, defend themselves. but again, these really militaries overstretched. so this response, while some could see it as limited in size, it's still was in balte and it still could cause this ripple effect. and that's just yet to be seen. what's going to happen in the coming hours and days is under

you use. so the phrase or the stretch that obviously they're all now essentially 2 funds, which we've seen since october. this fundamentals on the lebanese border has we've seen escalades intentions over the course of, of the last few weeks and months. and if israel doesn't actually want to war to take place that has the law has said that this is a solidarity front that they're fighting in supportive of, of, from us in gaza. this could or potentially and if there was a spot in gaza, presumably, where are those talks now in, in cairo there are a lot of big names who are the having these conversations and could what we've seen happen over the last few days. could that do well, anything? well, look, let's talk about the talks that be down in rome on sunday with these really delegation that went there. but the situation was that they weren't so fruitful. there was a lot of talk from these really side from anonymous officials, speaking to his really media. who said that nothing yahoo took an even harder

stance and there was a new list of non negotiable but he had introduced but benjamin that's and you all released his own statement saying that how mass had quote changed twin t 9 things in the proposal that was unacceptable to these realities, but how much has blamed these realities and so that they are the ones who are not willing to meet in the middle. so we've been talking about these negotiations for months and we're nowhere closer to that deal when it comes to the situation on israel's northern border. his bullet has said previously, but they would honor any sort of ceasefire that took place when it came to these really military and gaza with these really army. and his really defense officials have said that that would not be the case. that if there was a pause in the fighting with gaza, they would still stripe targets in southern lebanon, and even more north bushes. bella has said that they wouldn't attack. so the military is, in fact overstretched when it comes to dealing with both of these. and when you ask is really military and defense officials, they'll tell you that's or on 7 at the front, not just to dealing with threats,

from all sides, from all sort of enemy states in the middle east. so these, these fire negotiations are not really going anywhere. there are huge sticking points from both sides that are seeming to get solved him. us from the beginning has wanted a comprehensive ceasefire, a total and to the war. and these really is have said, the thought is not going to happen. there has to be some sort of is really security and military control. and remember benjamin that's in yahoo was just in the united states. and according to some reports, he was supposed to announce some sort of large news when it came to a potential end of the war on gaza and the quote unquote day after that he's been speaking about. but there's been no plan for that. so still the spar talks not fruitful just yet, and we'll continue watching those talks and running very probably spend 800 us will hit the thank you. well, let's bring in on cost one and also beg, he joins me live now from larger you and in southern 11 on the coast to these

really florida. i said, as we've been reporting, you've been witnessing this escalation with your own eyes there in southern lebanon over the last few days and weeks. and earlier, we literally saw that strike hit behind your life position on a focus or what you've been saying. i was absolutely we were getting ready to go live and there was a strike on the shop. now i the shop is a town that's been hit considerable times around over $300.00. in fact, since october last, this is the start of this concept, but not just that many towns and villages a long lived on southern border have been hit, hard to have suffered, destruction. buildings have been damaged. tens of thousands of people have been displays, but what we have noticed is in recent days as we travel through tabs and villages here in southern deborah, on the few a few people out on the streets, many people have moved. people get more shops have closed,

the close of closed up as a 5th of this escalation and the packing has been up sporadic escalation. what's happened is, has been talking to, is there any positions rated as the target law positions and assessing nations have been it's been stepped up a level then the most estimation of that his beloved respond to sometimes with hundreds of volumes of hundreds of, of rockets, even just today i can tell you i, the chavez had this of just been, i've just mentioned a bit ship was hit 3 people were into the in the hours of tuesday morning, beth leaf was hit to the drones strike one. his beloved member was killed, who was the area, there was a funeral taking place for that his beloved member. and as we looked around the time, we could see the damage of the damage buildings. and some of those buildings had been absolutely destroyed. and the people that were they were actually from outside of the village there for the funeral. not many people had already left. he um has been hit to tell me is just pretty much just behind me. and that was history is

radio artillery and phosphorus, and that shouldn't be mentioned, that is, or it has to be using a white phosphorus here in southern lebanon. and for her mom is also a heck. but his beloved also said that they hit the sacrament of how go shooting. they've also said that they use coaches to rockets to target the headquarters of this. i had a battalion in bed, it's a by a barracks. now, that's the situation here. so it's constantly being tens, this conflict have mainly been confined or contained to southern librium, but there's always a fear that it could escalate. and if, if this latest attack i, beta root is assigned, but this is no ranch and a new phase or a new stage of this conflict, and also back that in larger unit in southern lebanon for us. thank you. i said, well, let's now go to a correspondence and a quarter. she joins me from the lebanese capital. they route. they know you. i understand that you have now reached the location where that strikes took place.

now we have been hearing that that has the top come on to flood chicago has reportedly survived a strike that israel said was targeting him. what more can you tell us? well yes, we are in the southern cupboards, available just a few meters from the in the strike. we are not able to move from our location. i cannot show you what is happening because there is a lot of chaos. and as you can imagine, the situation is quite attends now hezbollah sources saying that to who i foster care has survived this assassination attempt earlier. the is really our me claimed responsibility for the strike saying that this has the last one of hezbollah top commanders. and that their operations was a success and it is now over. now, the statements being made by divide this way, the army or the media. the messaging is that this was their promise response. their

response to the rockets attack on south today in the town and much those shipments that killed civilians. an attack that is rob blamed on has the law an attack, has the law denied responsibility. so the message for me as well as that this is over, this was our promise response. now, what we've hezbollah to the very fact that there are reports that this high, that high ranking commander has survived, could mean that there could be a different response. it could be very, very, it's a different situation. for example, if he was cubes. no. this was a military target. yes, we are in bay boots. this is a southern suburb. somebody just, i'm not sure what you can see behind me, but this is a residential neighborhood, a densely populated neighborhood and we're getting reports of at least one woman killed and a number of inquiries. so why when we arrived there were

a lot of ambulances here. medics and really a lot of chaos. so the dust needs to suckle before we can give you all the details . but this was a military target, which means that israel also trying to stay within the so called rules of engagement. the unwritten rules of engagement, of their ongoing confrontation with this really military with hezbollah and earlier today has well, a high ranking has below source, told us that no matter what the strike no matter if it's limited, the nature of the strike, the nature of, of israel's response, it's will be considered in an active regression and that has the law will respond. so we are at a tipping point in this conflict. we still do not know the trajectory of this conflict, but like you mentioned were getting assorted as well as sources saying that this

has well, a commander, a high ranking, hezbollah commander, surviving this assassination attempt sending you area using the was targeted strike, obviously with relation to get more details about exactly what happens perhaps, what, what the weapon was used. but can you perhaps describe what you were seeing around you. we saw a lot of debris on the streets area. obviously a great deal of panic as you say, that has in multiple injuries, at least one other one and killed. what does it look like that we were hearing from ali? hash them out of your out? i'll corresponding on the scene that he was saying that to be a building collapsed. what does it, what does the scene look like? that building is if you are not very far from where i am standing, but we are not able to show you that building right now. yes. there's chaos in the streets. people are in the streets, a lot of security in the streets. a lot of panic. people are concerned,

but there's also angry, and that's why there's so much tension because their anger, this is not the 1st time there's, there has been a strike in the southern suburbs, a baby with just a few months ago. at the beginning of the year. we were here and we saw similar scenes just like this one. when is, well is ro was blamed for that strike killing the palestinian movements. how masses number to sort of had rudy. but it was a very targeted and precise strikes as they hits one uh, one floor in a residential building. they can, as well as a number of members of, of thomas. and again, there was chaos, industries, ambulances, power, medic, security forensic experts. so a very and as we made our way through this to the southern suburbs of neighborhood, there was a lot of traffic on the streets. people were, were concerned, they were trying to make their way home, even as we entered the southern suburbs available. a lot of streets were, were, were close so, so it was really difficult guessing here. this is a densely, densely populated area. we are going to do our best to try to get closer,

but we're just waiting towards the attention. you don't, you, we, we can see if we, we are going to try to make our way. you can see some ambulances in, in the background of people work racing for israel's response. they, there was a lot of speculation, watts, how we israel respond state and here we heard this way. the officials say has a lot of pay or their price. that is what these really prime minister benjamin. nothing else. who said, we heard this very defense minister say that testable cross thread lines with has a lot to is just as defiance and has bullets who has raised as recently. it has rate is raising the stakes earlier today, saying that, you know, they will respond even if, for example, as well, decides to launch a ground defensive hezbollah is ready to confront that. and it's not just that testable, it's ready to take the fights into israel to invade the gallery. so as well. now

what, what they've been doing really in recent weeks in recent months, is showcasing their capabilities as well that does not want and all out. and they've made that very, very clear. it's either through their actions through their words, for them, this is about supporting garza. it is about supporting the palestinian peoples is about bogging down divisions of the is really army in the north of the country. to relieve pressure on garza, it's about displacing tens of thousands of his race from their homes in northern is ready to put pressure on the is really government. so that is helpful. this position has been a lot has repeatedly said that they will fault firing into northern israel once the war on garza and now without going into the war on it does have to be very difficult to find some sorts of a diplomatic supplement or arrangement to the conflict between has full on israel western nations. 1 have been trying to do that, but they cannot do that as long as the war on garza continues. so this is why this

conflict. yes, it has been largely confined to the border areas. yes. both sides in many ways. sticking to the unwritten rules of engagement, focusing on military targets. yes, civilians have been killed. but the focus of this war of attrition has been on military targets. but anything can go wrong and this is really, this has been the concerns. the concern is any miscalculation could spiral this conflict out of control. so now, for as well, according to the media and statements coming out of as well. this is old. now we have to wait to hear from him. and before i let you go, i do want to ask you about the secure the situation. now, you mentioned a lot of security the on the streets, amid all the chaos. i know you're also at the airport earlier in the last couple of days to there been a number of flights either canceled or delayed. and we know that a number of foreign embassies are telling the the nationals to get out of

a room if they can. what is the security situation like that the lebanese citizens and, and other people living and buried beyond, beyond the southern suburbs of, of lot of varies really for the past 10 months of the war was confined to the border areas. yes, there were strikes deeper inside the country, but mainly military target life went on in the lebanese capital and elsewhere. ex pats were returning home for the summer concerts. there were concerts, parties, people, on the beach. so life, you didn't feel that there was more when you're in the lebanese capital, he's in when his well started to suppress it and not they're going to that testable . i pay a heavy price. you didn't feel this tonic in the streets. yes, the lebanese people are use to use to more they're used to instability on so many

happened. these felt that as well was not ready and did not want a whole lot more. and with the statements that are coming out of as well in the past hour. so whether it's the media or officials, they are saying we do not work. we do not want a regional war. so here are people that this run this bog down and award and the war on cause the, it's army is hired and taking on has the law is not an easy decision of these 2 long time. enemies have thoughts, many wars in the past, and they've reached the state in 2000 the 6 as well said that their goal was to destroy, it has a loss. they didn't do that, as well as a much stronger than it was in 2006. it's not just that it's a political force along with its allies. it's whole political power in this country . so it's, it's,

it's not going to be an easy decision. hezbollah has thousands of us out, they can fire thousands of missed out a day. and they, and what they have shown in recent weeks is that they are able to penetrate as well as air defenses. either using arm drones and has the lot is able to hurt is released when they want to. yes. sometimes we do reports how rocket slammed and open areas in open fields. but when they want to hit a target and cause casualties to send a message to as well, they're able to do that. and this afternoon just a few hours ago before this strike and his re disability and was killed in a house full of rocket attacks. so has the law has been sending messages, messages up, deterrents to these relays? do not think about starting a war, because we are ready and capable of doing, of confronting you, even though this is not what we want. so it is

a critical time, a tipping points in this conflict, how, how the course of this conflict, the future course of this conflict. it will be determined once the dust settles here. and we, we, we also cannot expect an immediate response from hesper law. that is not the way the organization works. it's an organization that studies carefully and carefully calibrate since it's an attack and takes into account the consequences of its actions. so, or has the response may not happen in the coming hours or even in the coming days. then hold on the correspondents on the ground in that to southern beverage saw the way that strikes to pace just a couple of hours ago. thank you very much santa. well, we can now bring in some data. he's the director of the live on the institute for strategic affairs. he also joins us from 11 east capital beverage. somebody. let's just start with what we've all been talking about or lies on has blown out. and in

terms of response, focus through what that calculus is at this stage. i mean, this is a very delicate the time for them because of the strike that just happened to the targeted, the very strong who has the insight do and has the, has been working for the side. that is the route that got that the uh, would that be a target? uh, this would mean day anything to get that floor. so a deep and uh is it, i, it, so no, as long uh would it cost to get you to now will it, to the, to you in the next coming hours or it would choose that. uh and i mean its own, this is a different story and this would be found on is the read all the

objectives, but definitely the that the incident today or the minute to ration today uh from bad to the whole region and the input kicker to add to $141.00. uh, because this is a dentist uh, escalation it happened inside they would uh it sound good, one bike amount and also the law. now it's not true as the, the high commander has escaped from a demo. save from this operation this way. give us a law uh eh, last march. and uh, also uh, so any way she has an excuse not to do any kind of get the directory. uh well, so as far as to hezbollah, all saying that, that come on the in question has actually survived. so that presumably will,

will factor in the calculus of, of their response. i do want to ask you about these red lines because this has been used as a phrase from both sides. but this isn't the 1st time that we have seen a strike on the root since the beginning of, of this, of this front, essentially opening it in october. exactly, this is the 3rd time in fact that the substance of good post may root has been uh uh, how about heard it said the insured as the 2 day giving that uh uh that is the bed with the patients. uh, from that you said i the aside to get ready for the notes and. ready let's keep in mind that the phase 101 date was phase one of the patients and god so has been completed on the which it gave more time. and the more resources to is that i to get to that the, for the notes and

a strong and then based on the brand. last the, that you said i, the government has suspended the, the, the school year set in the northeastern part. it is a, the opening of this report, at least the one year a 2nd, the, the idea of trust and loss, the largest school, the dues in the north. and we have, i see we have seen deposition offer and i've been, you know, last week trying to model sure it's on the board of strong day. you, as in order to confront your off and say, and try to change or do to, to draw with the attention from what's happening inside. got it can frame that confidence aspect. don't say that was uh, you're wrong. and so everyone knows that says the law is considered as the food as

brooks, the. busy you are on and the agent. so this is what the, these, all of these are indicators that there is that i is more prepared for. uh, as for a skied, a rule as though though it just uh it, it refers to reach, uh, it's all checked is to keep all my needs. but all of the diplomatic efforts that we had deployed for the last to 9 months, the photos them cost phase, and then not sure because of the position, the deposition of both spot. these are very far apart. on one hand, the principal wants to uh, to keep that it was all in gauge meant as it with and they were prevailing before

october 7th. why is that i it is determined to change is the rules of engagement. um that this uh that me, that the and compromised platform and today does not exist in the deep or not. and this was the only conflict on a drug costs distribution, as you say, a very dangerous moment. and now just in the last few minutes we've had from the lebanese foreign, minnesota, he's said that his government has condemned the strikes that hit the southern suburbs of the capital. he now plans to file a complaint to the united nations. obviously, a huge number of policies here, including a number of foreign powers, a very, very concerned about regional escalation, but just how much leverage different houses have on these parties at the moment. i mean, the money is the government has not the a lot to to say because trust for law fires because the overhead actually you want

the news government is proposing make a lot of strategies for those inc. and for implementation policy. and that is the same as $17.00 oh $1.00 book up to now the law is not the key of the stop board the the deductible. is there any but he's the government and he kept its distance from the implementation of 1701 dot c p a dot that has more love. horses have to withdrawal to the north some of the time. you mean like, uh, distance distance, all thank you meters, uh, from the border and actually because the law is trying to, uh, use this big with the uh, between this position and the position of the nice the but he's the government, it's true that is the at the bottom of this group and he's a government, however,

a, it's not to uh, it's not has to be given that the one that brought a foreign minister is saying is that the, the position of the law. does that mean data that the direct side of the levant institute for strategic assess speaking to us from the 11 east capital this evening? thank you very, very much sunny as well. if you are just joining us here on al jazeera, let's bring you up to date on the breaking news we're covering out of lebanon's capital. these really minute 3 says it is carried out a targeted attack and retaliation of assassin days. walker's attack only occupied golden heights. it's happened in the southern side of hard faith, which is a known stronghold of the auron back hezbollah group. the strength we understand to pace me as well as shore a council. it's central decision making authority to people all the least to have died on several buildings. as you can see that were damaged in the attack. israel's

army has said it was targeting a top has, will come on to flood sugar, who it says was responsible for sas, today's rocket attack that killed 12 people in the occupied garden heights. sources close to has but other say that flood sugar has survived and has blood continues to deny responsibility for saturday is attack. well, speaking to the past, just about an hour ago, a spokesman for the us state department was told about that strike in bay root. he said the us will to see what diplomacy is to avoid any further escalation between israel and 11 on this has been discussions with is really and loving these counterparts. since the incident over the weekend and the united states is going to continue to support efforts to reach a diplomatic solution along the blue line that our hope is will end these terrible attacks. and again, allow, is really and lovely citizens on both sides of the border to safely return home. that's gonna continue to remain our focus and go well that's me. talk costs. why don't you have a tons in washington dc. she have,

i understand the queen's on piano. the white house spokesman has also just addressed this incident to what we've been hearing from washington tonight, the zeros. everything has to be drawn on any specific fees that there was too soon to say anything she was speaking about off an hour ago or 45 minutes minutes ago, but then she was off cuz it's quite notable. but at the white house press briefing on monday, we had the national security council sports person john coby, who appeared at the press conference. he didn't appear today, and he was very well. he was in fabric saying that he was confidence that at all about war between israel and as well that could be avoided. but he said the risk of all that was was exaggerated. so korean jump. yeah, it was us. well, is that still the white house's position? given what we've just seen in the last few hours and she said yes, she said that they, they were continuing negotiations to prevent all that more and, and that was the goal. but very, that lives relation coming,

coming from the administration. and it's specific information about this other than the need for that not to be all that i'm that confidence supposed to do that by where people that will, which perhaps trucks, with some of the other reports you were hearing about apparently perhaps as well, trying to trying just address of this. yeah, this is a little, it's a rather limited now, but you know, it all depends that one, as well as, as was need to to, to show power and retaliation. ok. so you have, i understand the hezbollah commander in question here, who was targeted by israel was also wanted by the united states. what more can you tell us a yeah, that's a very interesting, very good point. i'm. i'm keeping ro refreshing the. the web site for the us publish is which, which has all its bounties on people. but actually that's still exactly the same for a trucker up to $5000000.00 for information as a reward for information on him. if i say that he's a senior advisor, know that for your, for the house on the throttle. but this is very interesting and this pop shows how important here's to a lot of americans,

i would imagine. as far as the us is concerned, schrupo played a central role on the october 23rd 1983 bombing up the us marine corps barracks, in bare route, which killed 241 us some of the cheapest snow and wounded 128 others it's, it's difficult to overstate how traumatic an incident that was to a large section of the military establishment here. the diplomatic establishment here in the us is a key moment. very traumatic, less than other people. very bitter. a pentagon, you talk to people and you asked why there is such a resistance to be acts as a resistance against is ready, occupation, and why there is such, such i'm a most towards has been, i knew your more of the, not, this incident will be mentioned and was the men speak for magic moment for a lot of me in the us military establishment. but as far as i can see, the website still says, and i know you'll, you'll having reports of that you shall go. every indeed was the target to survive . this attack and the website hasn't changed, but yes, he has a key figure, but the us has been trying to trying to, you know, the,

let me tell retribution towards as well. she advertises the that was all the nice us for us from washington dc. thank you very much. she had, well, that's not bringing my one to show our elders here a senior cisco unless he joins me again now from london modeling, we're talking a little bit here about about foreign powers and the very real concerns about escalation, how much leverage do country is like for instance, ron or the united states have right now in terms of preventing for the serious escalation as well. yeah. first if you don't mind me about the words concerns birth to 10 months, no hard to where it concerns. concerns when 15000 children die to buy his concern when genocide continues to unfold from concern when we have that factor, but he's not more. so i think the concern is from on the i sent, or the lexicon has the most accurate for attending sandwich. and i think

we're still needing those, use it as a way to actually see the wheel drive can be the real stakes that are going on. when do more, really want to do much about that. he said their concern when uh, when somebody does raise the idea are far more understood from the mission, of course, and the whole direction. finally, because it may, i think you want to be the now go. sure. right. and there's definitely going to be for the nation more than for the next news. as i said, the, you know, it's very, very important to reading and investment in more ways than one, not just sources. so if you remember to play a crucial role in support of the cdn $15.00 to pay for long once upon a time. but today the stays on high. i'm not sure the are as hard for the united

states, but i'd like to remind you of what's nothing you know save 20 couple of days ago in washington. and that's something we had the time to talk about. and when he mentioned dropping on the sign, the lease in general, he said, i don't quote the we are for the you is protecting the united states. its beautiful horse back to you course is that we can get a sauce 70000 bonds and saw us in the united states because i couldn't survive what time us without the doctor says that to get on to 1st with him us. but it's going to be protecting us interest is our claims to be in the united states and western civilization. i gauge, i see it goes into

a horrible system. not putting more bullish on the ground, really, america. so just so he said makes a huge screens and think about how it's sold has acquired united states as the of the united states and the news. i'm just not sure at this point in time, just let me know. i can hear you. you're on stage, is i concerned because the site is really for security card. i mean, would it be as also no, i think more than a few words from, from the, by the end of the session. a lot of things can change it to me. it should be the period after they see the bombing and fall into the mix. but we haven't seen it packed the united states have put its food down as the on washington sign on them. document is your them document the things page ceasefire to have

children dying in the occupied seat and go on highs and blue and have the operation today. and we would have to sit down to sleep of dying because i'm not doing anything about it. and community so serious about us is fire at night and it's my gosh, no, a small one. it's been interesting as we were talking about earlier, that the messaging we've been hearing from israel in the off them off of, of the strike and they route. it certainly sounds like they want this to be read as a measured response. and that's also the message to has. well, yes, but if you allow me to, since you mentioned it to me now, because i, you are excellent to 14. why she to do it from don't have to, you know, there's something more accurate to point to is that yeah, definitely you know, putting things as the last but not all right. and that's a lot of your time to take

a moment and our experts. would you say that that's a yahoo! we reported from the high side our children, the not his children. is that sometimes for instance, the c citizens thing. they said, we will respond to the death of our technicians. my question is, do you don't? what do you want me to do is try to mr. nothing here. i mr. you wanted to, but i knew mom that on today the southern part of the capital after 10 children and you said you have a 3 right. what is the actually, what is the right response, directv full 16. so i think what is the saw? the writers, or as a student all 16000 to the we've got the

question before attention to syria. again, what is the right response for $52.00? you know, on the shara out, his ear is senior physical unless that speak to us from london. thank you. my one as well let's just to recap the breaking news we've been covering just before $1700.00 g m t and explosion was had and a southern bay route. so that these really ami then announced it and carried out what it described as a targeted attack on a come on to of the around back to the group has by they said he was responsible for rockers attack on the occupied colon heights on saturday. 12 people were killed and not attacked, has the law has denied having any involvement. and so it's as close to hezbollah all saying that top come on to for sure. cool. has survived. this is really strike we have recently had from her mouth who have condemned this attack, calling it a dangerous escalation. well that's it for me to stalls you pay for now. and you

over the phone, the miller, she'll be here in just a moment with more about ongoing special coverage to stay with the with americans more divided than ever. are we watching the end of the american era? the us wants to keep the war in ukraine going until russia's will is broken. but is that strategy working for us? there is no day after israel's war on causes a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. what happens in the. 1 because implications all around the world to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people from mayor of the city and i was doing away with the 1st few that was supposed to get everybody off the street. it's international perspective with the human touch mean way in, and then pulling back out again the

or the

safe them even come in as an international insight, corruption, excellence, award, denominator hero. now the the israel launch is a striking liber known as capital b root as well. says it's tall to, to the, here's what i'll come on the following a deadly strike on the occupied colon nights the, somebody the, this is out is there a lie from zillow also coming up and uninhabitable wasteland, palestinians return home to cause a southern city of con, eunice,

only to find it largely destroyed by these randy army and sedans, warning sides agreed to attend us, let peace folks in geneva as.
