i'm katelyn polantz at the federal courthouse in washington. and this is cnn welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. let's begin with breaking news from the middle east you're looking at live pictures from southern lebanon after hezbollah militants say they've successfully completed their retaliatory strikes on israel for the day so that is what happened in northern israel hours ago after the group fired at least 200 rockets from lebanon, hezbollah called that the first phase of its retaliation for the recent killing of its top military very commander. but earlier, israel said it hit hezbollah positions just as they were preparing to launch their strikes. the idf says more than 100 fighter jets took part in the operation destroying

thousands of hezbollah rocket launcher virals. lebanon says three people were killed. prime minister benjamin netanyahu reacted to those strikes yes we can book it on was in well, which will hezbollah this morning, we detected hezbollah as preparation to attack israel together with the minister of defense and the chief of staff, we instructed the idf to act proactively to remove the threat. >> the idf has since been acting vigorously to thwart the threats, it destroyed thousands of rockets aimed at the north of the country it also thwarted many other threats and operates with great strength both in defense and attack. i asked you citizens of israel to comply to the directives of the home front command. we are determined to do everything to protect our country, return the residents of the north safely to their homes and continue to uphold a simple rule. whoever hurts us, we hurt them. >> u.s. president joe biden is monitoring the events in israel and lebanon. the white house says biden has discussed the strikes with his national security teams. senior us officials have also been

communicating with their israeli counterparts, and that includes defense secretary lloyd austin, who spoke with israel's defense minister, yoav galant after the call, the pentagon reaffirmed america's ironclad commitment to israel's defense. now cnn has reporters on the ground across the region. cnn's nic robertson is in tel aviv, israel and ben wedeman joins us live from beirut, lebanon. ben want to start with you? take us through what hezbollah is saying about the targets and what might come next hezbollah put out several announcements today. >> kim the first one saying that this was this was the long awaited response for the 30 july killing of fu'ad shukr, a senior hezbollah commander here in beirut. they said that they launched more than three hundred and 20 missiles at 11 military targets along the border with israel. the point of that was to knock out surveillance observation

shouldn't posts, as well as iron dome positions, anti-drone positions to allow other drones to go deep inside israel. they claim that they successfully struck a major military target within israel. we have yet to hear anything back from the israelis side on that claim. they now say that they put out a later statement saying that today's strikes have been completed successfully they were expecting secretary general of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah to give his speech at 6:00 p.m. local time perhaps then we'll get into occasion from him whether there is indeed going to be a second phase in its response to that assassination. last month. now what we've seen since before sunrise was the most intense series of israeli strikes on targets within south lebanon on

what by one estimate, more than 25 individuals strikes took place as far as the toll of those strikes you've heard, that three people were killed. one was in a strike on a car, killing a man in the village of am near the border, and to people killed in the town of td. further north of there? now we don't know how many people were wounded, but certainly it does appear at least for the time being, that this first opening round of hostilities in this latest escalation is over the seems, for instance, here in beirut, the opera airport is operating normally, we've seen a variety of flights coming in to the city. we do know that the lebanon's government is, it's has an emergency ministerial committee that's going to be meeting today the

lebanese government permanent, however, the state is a fairly weak state. did they don't have really much control over how hezbollah acts, but certainly they're going it'd be keeping an eye on this situation. kim alright. >> as louis and so nick from israel's point of view take us through the military and political reaction there well, there was a security cabinet, so that's a government meeting at its highest level. clearly evaluating the steps said it were taken. >> and the impact that those steps have this preemptory strike at hezbollah targets as they were ready to fire at israel. the idf has confirmed now somewhat the allegations that hezbollah had made a claim that has blurred, made that it was planning to strike deeper into israel. >> the idf saying that intended targets were in central israel. >> the targets listed. so far

the military targets, it hezbollah says that it hit 11 military targets the idf has not given an assessment yet of the damage there that's quite normal there normally slow to do that. in fact sometimes they weren't even offer an in detail accounting of precisely what was hit at those locations. certainly one of the locations has polar said they were aiming at was a major air defense side, sort of a principle pull node, if you will, in an array of infrastructure designed specifically to stop drone and missile strikes getting into central israel i'm not crossing a red line, at least it appears are sort of red lines are the lines that israel and hezbollah operate under that so trigger a massive escalation from the other side. and i say that because hezbollah claims only to have targeted military sites. and as far as we know, so far, only one villi and in an echo in the north, a woman was injured by shrapnel but the steps that

have been taken to heightened the alert for people in sorelle, the home front command instructions have told people in northern israel, in fact, from tel aviv to northern israel to stay close to their shelters, not to go so further than they need to and here in tel aviv, an indication, again, perhaps have just the range or intent of hezbollah with its missiles. the beaches here that had been closed for swimming today and leisure and cultural activities also have been put on hold. gatherings are more than 30 people i have been put on hold as well. so the level of concern stretches as far down here for the israeli authorities as tel aviv and officials here say 240 shelters open in tel aviv, though telling people that they don't need to go to them and don't hang around in those shelters and if things do escalate further, then more shelters will be made available. but

this is an increased security preparedness footing that israel hasn't taken until now. and that does show the level of concern and and while battle damage assessment is done by the military, you can be rest assured that preparations for a next round of strikes should they be called upon, that those preparations will be well in hand all right i appreciate that. >> so nic robertson in tel aviv and ben wedeman in beirut. thank you both. and we'll come back to you later in the hour for the latest i want to bring in ha hellyer middle east studies scholar at the carnegie endowment for international peace. and he joins me now from cairo, egypt. good to see you again so that hezbollah says this is the first phase. so do you get a sense? is this just the beginning thank you very much kim for having me on.

>> i do think it is just the beginning. what we've seen over the last nine months has been escalation after escalation. and we have actors involved in all of this that are looking for escalation, right? i mean over the past few months, we've seen a lot of chatter within the israeli press talking about how an escalation with his butler would actually be the preferred option it wasn't taken as a route up until now, but we saw those warnings quite early on, which means that there's that temptation to .'s scalise and this is the unfortunate dynamic that we're in. if you have a situation like this than the only course is active de-escalation. otherwise, you have passively or otherwise you have a route towards escalation. and what we've seen over this morning is precisely that where, you know, quote, unquote, left to their own devices. there's going to be escalation, which means that we have to actively push for de-escalation. otherwise,

things could spin right out of control. and we're getting dangerously close in that regard, especially as we see that the ceasefire negotiations haven't really gotten anywhere in aren't likely to anytime soon that and much more intense effort by the united states. >> i want to get back to the negotiations in a second, but just on the idea of, of escalation here, we're still waiting for a runs threatened retaliation independent is that from what we're seeing now, what kind of level of coordination is there between iran and hezbollah on all of this so on a regular basis, people describe his butler, the houthis and iraqi militias as basically got uncode extensions of iran's military capacity and i do think that overplays it's somewhat their allies. >> of course, there's no question about that. hezbollah has very strongly allied with iran you can say that it's an

iranian assets in the region, but they do operate with slightly different calculations depending on the situation that is underway. and of course, lebanon is on the border with israel the threat to his butler is tremendous in a way that simply isn't the same for the hat on having said that, i do think that in this particular situation, there will be coordination. i would be very surprised if iran hadn't been made aware of his butler's retaliation this morning. but having said this may have taken place and extremely short notice the israelis have said that they engaged in a preemptive strike besides the israelis, we have no way of verifying that it was actually a preemptive strike that actually took a took apart and a hezbollah operation that was about to take place sweet we simply don't know that had this been a strike that. israel had them to take an

independently of any new threat from hezbollah. then hezbollah would have probably been placed in the situation of feeling it had to respond to irrespective of its plans and we do know that everybody's been on, quote, unquote the hair trigger for weeks, if not months i ii that preparations are ready, 90% all the way. anyway, and it's that last step that needs to be taken in order to move into position so there's going to be i think a bit of a war of 19 serves that also happens now, whether or not this truly was a preemptive strike. i'm not saying that it wasn't, but we simply don't know without further verification, that will be difficult to get that before. we go, i did want to ask you about the negotiations you're in cairo reportedly negotiators from israel and hamas will be there today for the ceasefire and hostage negotiations. listen you and i have talked a couple of times recently about this and you articulated that earlier that yours pessimistic about the

prospects of peace with everything that's happened now has anything changed or the fact that both parties are still heading to cairo, give you more optimism that they are intent on getting something done here. >> so two things. one, i think the key to de-escalation in the region is gaza. and we have to push for de-escalation in gaza in order for us to have any hope more region speaking, secondly, i don't think that what's happened this morning is necessarily going to impact on those negotiations. i do think that unfortunately the negotiations are going nowhere you have the israelis insisting on new demands, particularly around the philadelphi corridor, which is the border between gaza and egypt. having a strong idf presence there, which is a nonstarter in terms of not only hamas, but i suspect the egyptians because it goes against the camp david accords and i don't think the

united states has expressed the willingness to use the leverage that it has in order to push the israelis towards the finish line. so there's a lot of pressure on hamas as there ought to be. but i'm not sure that there's corresponding pressure should being leveraged on the israelis and as such, i don't expect these negotiations to succeed in this round especially given the fact that in the israeli press itself is really negotiators are leaking. and these really pets have been reporting this that netanyahu himself is simply not interested in a deal right now alright, we'll have to leave it there, but good to speak with you again. ha hellyer. thank you so much for joining us thank you alright. as we were just speaking about there, the exchange of fire between israel and hezbollah comes amid efforts to restart talks on he's foreign hostage release deal in gaza will have more on where those talks stand coming up next, please stay with you guys are cute couple.

against hezbollah targets after seeing that the militant group was preparing to fire missiles and rockets towards them. hezbollah says it launched strikes in retaliation for the killing of a top military commander last month. meanwhile, hamas says, it's delegation is in cairo for ceasefire talks that were due to resume on sunday the goal is to stop the fighting that's been raging for more than ten months and negotiate the release of hostages held by hamas israeli official told cnn that israeli delegation was also expected to go to cairo earlier in egyptian official said negotiators are still far apart on some issues, including the presence of israeli troops on israel's borders. border with egypt elliott gotkine is standing by in london. so elliot, despite these recent attacks, delegations from both sides reportedly still meeting in cairo yeah, i suppose that's the good news, kim, that these talks are still on, that they are still going ahead. but of course the two sides are still far apart. and i suppose they, they, these

talks have enough problems trying to reach an actual deal without having to worry about whether hezbollah's strikes on israel or israel's preemptive strikes don hezbollah are going to push them. of course, of course, you could also take the view if you're ever more optimistic bet, that if things are going to heat up more so on the northern border, then israel may be keana to wrap things up in the gaza strip to get a ceasefire agreements so that it can focus on the north as defense minister, yoav gallant has been indeed the cutting in recent days, of course, at the same time, yahya sinwar, the leader of hamas, the architects of the october the seventh terrorist attacks. may, according to some observers, have been playing a waiting game to see if hezbollah strikes on israel to say nothing of iran's plan retaliation for the assassination of a smile nia in tehran on july the 31st, may actually drag israel into a wider war. so in that respect, any escalation in the north or

with iran could the reaction of israel and hamas are almost kind of misaligned. but if we focus back on the talks, as you say, kim still why differences between them? not just between israel and hamas, but also between israel and one of the key mediators, egypt and egyptian official telling israel that israel, after israel submitted a new proposal on thursday regarding the so-called philadelphia corridor, the 14 kilometer a strip of land that's effectively the border between gaza and egypt. egypt saying that decreased israeli presence is not the solution. egypt would want to see israel withdrawing its troops completely from that area, something that prime minister benjamin netanyahu seems to have said is a red line effectively, he's drawn that line in the sand saying that israel must control that order to prevent hamas re-arming. it believes hamas gets most of its arms through tunnels between egypt and israel, doesn't trust the egyptians to prevent that from happening at the same

time, hamas of course, has repeatedly said it wants a permanent ceasefire agreement and also full withdrawal of israeli troops in order to proceed with this phase. one of this three-phase ceasefire agreement, which would also see a number of hostages released after being kidnapped on october the seventh. and at the same time, the freeing of a certain number of palestinian prisoners. hamas also accusing israel of changing the terms of the prisoner release and prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying time and time again that israel reserves the right to go back to fighting after the temporary six-week ceasefire in order to finish the job to prevent hamas from threatening israel and for maintaining its governance and military capabilities, and to put pressure on the militant group came to get all the hostages home. >> all right. i appreciate that update. elliott gotkine, thanks so much all right. >> i want to bring in alon pinkas, a former israeli consul general in new york, and he

joins me live from tel aviv, israel. good to see you. thank you so much for being here with us. so just first, what do you think? israel strategy was here in striking first well, good morning, kim there are two ways of looking at it. >> one is via the intelligence lens or the intelligence prison israel supposedly had information that he's balah intends to strike overnight between saturday and sunday here in israel. and preempted the attack. >> but then there's another way of looking at it. >> slightly broader perspective and that is that israel has been somewhat restrained and patience for eight months will almost ten months, given his bellows constant harrasment and firing of drones, missiles and

rockets ever since october and it accelerated the rate accelerated in november and december. so the idea was to retaliate based on both the intelligence and to perhaps stop the harassment but at the same time, keep it confined to something that's proportionate as to not to lead to a vicious cycle of escalation. now whether or not that's going to work, i don't know if both sides can declare success then supposedly everyone happy, but i don't know. we're going to have to wait a day or two. there is one more thing that i have to add, kim, and that is that whatever israel's strategy is it refuses, i think wrongly, but nonetheless, the government refuses to link the war in gaza to possible or potential escalation between israel and hezbollah. i mean, it's like to connecting

vessels if the only a ceasefire in gaza could be conducive to de-escalation and an north and israel has refused to see that logic so whatever the strategy is, unless there a ceasefire in gaza, which i i'm skeptical about. i don't necessarily see a de-escalation in the north so you're skeptical of any progress on the negotiations, do you do you think that the fact that these hezbollah attacks came now reflects on the state of the negotiations they were assuming that things weren't progressing and might as well attack now i think you're absolutely right in that proposition his butler was contained or restrained possibly by iran and possibly by their own reading of the political developments and figured that if they strike while negotiations are going on in doha, in qadar. now in

egypt, they will be accused of undermining the talks by by, by escalating the conflict they would be undermining the talks, so they waited patiently once they concluded according to them, that these talks will not produce an agreement, which i think is, a realization they have reached in the last few days. they figured, alright, now the time, now, no one more important thank you. >> and that is that, you know, for a long time that was this idea that both iran and hezbollah would retaliate simul dangerously then the logic said, well, iran has to, but he's ballot doesn't and actually the third possibility is a transpired in that balah reactive rather than iran. i'm not saying he won't happen tomorrow or next month, but right now, it was hezbollah rather than iran that retaliate alright, we'll have to leave

it there, but appreciate getting your expertise. >> alon pinkas. thank you so much thank you and we'll have much more on the latest tensions between israel and hezbollah with live reports from tel aviv and beirut that is after a short break. you are watching cnn newsroom, please stay with us bad job well, a minute let's be honest, their resilience of things you'd rather do than look for insurance. like assembling whatever that's supposed to be teaching your kid to drive. >> fortunately, the zebras searches over 100 insurance companies for you to find savings. no one else can you'd rather do this than look for insurance we can save you up to $900 a year when you bundle or to an home i think a wait inside the zebra, we do the

contributing to the success and growth of our business space shuttle columbia. the full series tonight at nine on cnn welcome back to all you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn breaking news coverage or return now to our latest news, the back and forth exchanges of fire between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. the militant group says, it's first phase of strikes were successful. hezbollah claims it fired more than 300 rockets across the

border. israel says the group fired about 200 rockets earlier. israel's military initiated strikes against hezbollah targets, saying the group was about to launch its weapons the u.s. is monitoring the situation and communicating with israeli counterparts an idf spokesperson says, israel took action to protect itself we are operating in self-defense from hezbollah. in any other enemy that joins in their attacks against us. and we are ready to do everything everything we need to defend the people of israel i want to go back to our reporters in the region. >> cnn's nic robertson is in tel aviv, israel and ben wedeman joins us live from beirut, lebanon. ben, starting with you, do you get a sense that hezbollah is walking a fine line here are mostly symbolic attack without crossing the line in order to avoid a major escalation kim that seems to be their strategy

we knew that it was very clear and we heard great from the head of hezbollah that they would respond to the 30 july assassination of a senior hezbollah commander. >> and they say, this is the first first phase of their response. they say that they've completed their military strikes successfully. we're expecting to hear from nasrallah 6:00 p.m. local time that will probably give us a better idea whether there's going to be a second phase at all. but in this first phase, they put out an announcement saying that they launched more than 320 missiles at israel at 11 military targets near the border, including the modal phone base, which is sort of an air control surveillance base. so they're tactic was to knock out all the surveillance and observation and perhaps iron dome systems and whatnot to send what his bulla said was a

swarm of drones into the heart. the depth of israel they claimed in this statement they, they hit a major military installation, but we have yet to hear any confirmation on that from the israeli side. now we understand reports from the south of lebanon say that there are still ongoing israeli strikes on a variety of towns and villages in the area along the border. according to the official national news agency this has been the most intense and day so far of israeli strikes since october the death toll so far is a one man killed in the town of his am he was in a car when he was struck and in the town of a tie it to other people were killed. we don't know have any details about injuries so far. now certainly.

>> as i said before, his bulla is walking a fine line. they said they were going to retaliate for the assassination of that military commander. and we've seen in the past, for instance, i was here in september of 2019 when an israeli drone struck the southern suburbs of beirut where his butler is headquartered, his bulla, a couple of days later, struck back with an operation on the border. they claimed to have killed an israeli soldier. the israeli please claimed that it was actually a dummy that basically what they wanted to do was each side does a strike hezbollah strikes back back and that was the end of it. and certainly what we know is that hezbollah has made it clear that this front, so to speak, in the war on gaza is a port front. hezbollah has made it clear time and time again. they have no appetite for a full-scale war. certainly there is no support whatsoever in length lebanon for a full-on

war along the lines of what we saw in the summer of 2006, the israelis have also made it clear that they aren't aren't interested in a major escalation as well. so we'll probably get a hint when we hear this speech from hassan nasrallah. this evening and whether indeed there will be a phase two kim. >> all right. so appreciate that. i want to go to nic now and we have new updates from israel on more strikes in the effects of hezbollah strikes as well. so take us through what israel saying and the war of 19 that were seeing about these latest attacks yeah, hezbollah claims to have struck 11 military sites israeli military sites in the north of the country the idf says that they can confirm that the majority of the projectiles that came over the border from hezbollah were towards the north, but they also say that hezbollah intended to strike the central

israel area as well. and the authorities here in tel aviv have put restrictions on people in tel aviv, reminding them that 240 bomb shelters are open not to be used just to go and loiter in because people are afraid right now that they can open more shelters, but telling people not to congregate in groups of more than 30. that the beaches will remain closed in tel aviv, that leisure and cultural events leisure and cultural events are not to be held. what the authorities here have done is go on to a higher level. well, of alert, warning for people from tel aviv all the way to the north of the country where in aco, a lady was injured by falling shrapnel. but when it comes to that really specific and important question of what actual damage has blow was able to do to israeli military infrastructure. we don't have

any details on that from israeli authorities. and a typically in these situations they might confirm a strike on a base there that that airbase saw the air defense site in the north has certainly been hit before by hezbollah with multiple rockets on occasion. and the idf does does give some clarification about that later, but rarely do they get into what was damaged and and casualties or specifics on casualties that those size so at the moment, the idf and they continued strikes along the border, it seems that while the sort of proactive targeting of hezbollah as the idf said, hezbollah was preparing for this bigger wave of strikes, while that is sort of pause, there is fairly clear that the normal level of idf military operations along the border with lebanon is not on hold. it's going to continue. the security cabinet here. wrapped up several hours ago. we don't

know what conclusions they came to about their force posture, but i think you can be quite sure that the israeli air force is ready. should they get the command and the need to go on the offensive again as they did last night. so i think the posture at the moment is caution assessment, heightened state of alert, but at the moment, no return to the high levels of fire that we saw overnight. >> all right. i appreciate that. nic robertson in tel aviv and ben wedeman in beirut. i want to thank you both hezbollah calls this the first phase of its retribution, and that's raising the question about what a second phase might look bike and what role u.s. assets in the region might play will look at that when we come back, please stay with us summer means millions flock to america's national parks. >> but nature can turn disastrous when tourists has crossed the line she started by

my left leg. >> my initial thought was here definitely today the whole story with anderson cooper tonight at 8:00 on cnn a heart attack. do they have life insurance? know but we have life insurance john i'm trying to find something we can afford. >> fortunately, it only a few minutes. select poll found john a $500,000 policy for only $29 a month and his wife, and a $500,000 policy for only $21 a month go to select quote.com w and get the insurance your family meets at a price you can afford. >> select quote, we shop you save. >> what the effects of viagra, but faster meet roe sparks. they contain. so dana, phil and to valla, phil with sparks, dissolve under the time dissolvable work faster than old-school pills. >> see a sparks are right are you at row dot coast last sparks ever worry that you're drinking too much take back control with orhelp or health provides access to medication proven to make it easier to

returning to the breaking news in the middle east, hezbollah says it's done for the day

with its retaliatory strikes against israel, calling them a complete success, the militant group fired at least 200 rockets from lebanon, which came after israel says it conducted preemptive strikes on the militants across the border, destroying thousands of their rocket launcher beryl's, and joining me now from canberra, australia is malcolm davis is a senior analyst in defense strategy and capability at the australian strategic policy institute. >> good to see you again thanks for being on. so listen, we don't have a full damage assessment, of course, but given what we know so far, what do you make of the scale and the targets in these strikes on both sides look essentially any preemptive attack would be designed to go after the missiles and the launches and the systems that are being prepared to be used so they would be attacking missiles that are been on their lawn track house, or being transported to launch locations, destroying those.

>> plus they would be going after storage sites for munitions and other words, storage sites for missiles and rockets. and that sort of thing and as you say, we don't really have in detail bomb damage assessment. all we have is israel's suggestion that they've destroyed thousands of launch. raul's so in other words, it probably has disrupted hezbollah's plans for an offensive. but hezbollah has a very large arsenal of missiles and rockets so i wouldn't suggest that we're out of the woods yet in terms of a hezbollah attack on israel on that i mean, hezbollah says, first phase complete. so that suggests a second phase. what could a second phase entail? >> well, my guess is that the second phase would be a larger attempt by the hezbollah group to launch attacks potentially in concert and synchronize with

iranian attacks or attacks by iranian sponsored militia groups in iraq and syria so it could be that hezbollah did launch a number of missiles into northern israel and in done responded. but in doing so, you've reduced the amount of munitions for iron dome in the process. >> we still don't know about the damage that any hezbollah attack did so it's really uncertain at these two at this point in time, it's very early days and we were going to need to wait for more information. you brought up iran, obviously the big fear here is that any escalation could trigger a much broader war involving iran. any, any signs that were closer to that happening? >> well look my perspective on this is that if hezbollah were to launch a second attack in iran, did nothing to support it. there would undermine tehran's credibility in the eyes of hezbollah and hezbollah leadership that could actually be damaging to iran's

political interests in the region so there'll be pressure from within iran and from groups like hezbollah and hamas to actually step in. and support groups like hezbollah wherever around does this is uncertain. around will be making its own calculation in terms of just how much damage can it do in an attack on israel, and how much damage can israel do in retaliation? i think one of the big concerns that iran would have is that any retaliation against iran israel would go after iran's nuclear sites and other words, bordeaux and the towns. and potentially retired iran's ability to race for the bomb in a significant way at the moment, we have maybe a few weeks to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons shell hits those sites it could be pushed back months. >> and that type of escalation that you're talking about could risk dragging in the u.s. the u.s. has been in dialogue

with its israeli counterparts. what role do you expect the u.s military assets in the region to play? >> look the u.s is there to essentially practice to terrance by denial against iran so they have deployed a substantial amount of military hardware in terms of carrier strike forces, land-based airpower naval warships, and so forth. that the principal goal being to shoot down any iranian missile attack and destroy iran's chances of inflicting significant damage on israel by raising the likelihood that any iranian attack will file and then trigger a major israeli retaliation these us is there to try and deter around watching better tech i will leave it there. >> appreciate your expertise. malcolm davis in canberra. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> all right. we'll be right back with a look at other stories. we're following, including the swing states. so it will be the focus of
