the, the, this is due to be news long from berlin, international pressure balance on israel, over its war and gaza to army officers are dismissed over the death of aid workers and drone strikes. earlier this week, israel says its troops, thought terrorists were firing from the convoy, also coming up thousands to renounce in iran for the funeral of revolutionary guard members killed in the strike in syria. earlier this week, their commander has vowed revenge against israel, which hasn't yet commented on the strikes the

call for at least welcome to the show. israel says it has fired 2 senior officers and reprimanded 3 others for mondays that your strikes and garza that killed the 7 . 8 workers. an inquiry carried out by israel's military found that its forces mistakenly believe the humanitarian conroy had been taken over by her most militants and not drone operators mistook a humanitarian work or holding a bag for a gun. man, the group is calling for an independent inquiry stating that israel's military cannot credibly investigate its own failure. you a secretary of state antony blinking says the us as carefully reviewing israel's inquiry and to the killings. it's very important that as well as taking full responsibility for this incident, it's also important that it appears to be taking steps to hold those responsible accounts. even more important is making sure that the steps are taken going forward to ensure that something like this and never happen again from us for that. yeah.

when decatur to president biden, israel would be making further changes to his procedures to make sure that those who are providing assistance to people who so desperately need and gaza are protected. so we're going to be looking very carefully at what those steps are, how it achieves better. deacon's flexion better coordination, so that aid workers are protected as your secretary state antony, blinking. now our correspondence rebecca readers in jerusalem told us more about the results of israel's internal inquiry. the results came out just a few hours ago here in israel, from the military from that. so cold independent investigation though it is an internal investigation done by a separate branch within the is really a military. and the basically identified that this, these strikes were carried out in serious violation of military prior to goal

protocol. and it says that we carried out ju, to mr. identification, but in fact, the, the military thought that there was a threat. they thought that somebody so that they saw a gunman on this humanitarian convoy that was going uh, this was earlier before the firing actually happened. that was going to this warehouse and they thought that that gunman then proceeded to go with this convoy. and that's, of course why they're saying that the, the convoy was been fired upon. you know, we, as we know from the reporting of the incident, the, the, the convoy was fired upon the 1st call. the 1st a vehicle was fired upon and the people tried the people that were still living were trying to get out, go to the 2nd and the 3rd and they work, you know, it was continually fired at so that is being identified of the miss identification and in and in direct violation of military procedure, as you've mentioned, we've got to a senior military personnel has been dismissed and of some have been reprimanded,

including the head of the southern come on, that looks off to the military. that, that is basically carrying out the operation in gaza. it also says that this is a break down in the chain of come on. but we've been reporting on this week from internal a tunnel reporting that's been done here in israel magazine called a 972 plus 972, that they're in fact is a, is a gross breakdown of the china of come on in the military. and it has been throughout this, in fact, that a machinery has been you to identify targets. and in fact, there is very little in way of chain of come on. so if that is indeed confirmed that could potentially go some way to explaining how something like this could happen. that was dw correspondence. rebecca rivers interest lim there to the commander of ron's powerful revolutionary guard who said there will be retaliation for an air strike that destroyed a ron's consulate in syria. on monday, killing 12 people. he blamed the strikes on israel and here on 1000,

turned out to attend a funeral for 7 members of the guard, including 2 senior generals, were killed and the blast classes between israel and the run back has the law along the is really lebanese border, have increased since the war and gaza began nearly 6 months ago, the funeral took place on all could stay an annual event when people in around and elsewhere around the world stage pro palestinian rallies. and earlier i spoke to simon maven, he's the middle east analyst at lancaster university, and i asked him if we're likely to see a direct confrontation between a ron and israel beyond proxies. i think about the $1000000.00 question. we know the iran has, has used such and century rhetoric before we sort of took various estimation of customs, sort of money by the united states back and forth to 20. adapt did not lead to a full scale direct retaliation. we saw a lower level incursions. we saw a lower level proxy actors attacking us spaces around for the mental use of private

market got to when it does not want the region to erupt and conflict, but no kind of be seen to be standing by and let this type of presentation go on said how seriously should israel take that threat then, as well as they will be taking it very seriously, particularly benjamin netanyahu, who for the past 30 odd years, has been viewing around us the great dangerous to is really society as an ex essentials throughout keeping, making speeches about to run being this, this real pop, it must or controlling the laws of the region and posing a threat to as well. so for nothing, yahoo, it will be taken very, very seriously. but for others that will be this acceptance. that's a ron, is having to engage in some degree or performance of auction, of having to appease a number of different constituencies. and so i don't think that this will lead to a dramatic escalation in the short term. but what it does do is it makes an already

for you bryley k all take and precarious environment that much more dangerous. mm hm. let's look at that yahoo for a 2nd because he is under a lot of pressure at home and abroad. how do you think that could affect his calculations? yeah. what we've seen across his time in office, when he's under pressure, he starts to turn to uh, to what's called a rally around the flag effects and the process whereby he cultivates accidental grad external challenges that allow people to come together on the what he tends to be and what he positions as a strong form of leadership. so in many ways this will probably help him because it once again says that he is able to position around as an ex, essential threat to israel. now another player in this pressure cooker that of the middle east is right now is lebanon's around back hezbollah group. it's leader

called the damascus strike a turning point in the event since october 7th. how big is the danger of them escalating the conflict on their end as well? the run has this complex relationship with his by law, the use of syria as a condo, and the strikes at the uranium conseula where the 1st time that there's been a direct attack on a rainy and targets in syria. there been a lot of attacks on rainy and bucked targets in syria, but this is, i think what the, what this is by law officials are talking about when they talk about a sort of a game changer that it's a direct attack on iran. now with regard to as well, they've already been engaged in embroiled in cross. ready tactics, what topics changes? would these riley's since october 7? and of course in the, in the, the decades before that. so there's this sense that it is the precarious moment.

but if we go back to october 7 and we listen to a test on mr. i left the spa said he was very cautious in the early stages, not to pull more fuel onto the spire, not to contribute to an already in century situation. but the, the shifting atmosphere, the pressure cooker, as you call it, has put more pressure on if we want involved in this. and that's what makes it such a dangerous situation that the actors are having to engage with their own domestic constituencies and respond to the various pressures themselves. so assignment may have been released analyst at lancaster university, always great speaking to you. thank you so much for your insights. thank you. let's take a look now and some other stories making news around the world today. argentina, as president, you gotta me lay has met with us military leaders in the well region of his country to discuss plans for a new naval base. china has previously lobby to establish a base and the region of the southern tip of the south american continental,
