there, he was targeted apparently by miss so shocked from a outside of the tier. i may be also a drone that it was connected to. it's unclear exactly the details, but very clear that it was an edit 10 for very precise hits and it did hit it funny while sleeping with his as he mentioned that body guard in his room. and it's confirmed also by that you are on a resolution in regards to seeing the case. this is pretty remarkable if, if this is confirmed to be as well, what does it tell you about what kind of message they are trying to send with this attack? well, 1st of all, it's not going to be confirmed. his role is never going to take responsibility for it. this it, as well as modest opportunity, they never do take responsibility though we know they have acted underground mostly on a targeting officials in the ring, a nuclear program in the past. but, you know, trying to make this statement by, you know, assassinating and leader of hamas on union soil in the heart of the union capital. that's of course a message that israel was trying to send very outloud, a saying no matter who you are, somebody or where you are. we're going to get you. shawnee stay with us. i'd like

to take a closer look now at the i'm us leader and see if we can look more closely at the life of it's my own idea is male, heavier was pictured along side rooms. you president, just hours before being assassinated. the 62 year old had been in to around for the integration sir, on the name on the lift gulf a several years ago, and ran homeless as activities from kata where he lived in exile. he was born and a refugee company, a guy city in 1962 and joined thomas and the late 19 eighties. honey arose through the ranks and went on to become the prime minister of the palestinian authority in 2006. a mouse named him. the group's lead in 2017, even after leaving the gaza strip. he acted as a groups political chief. a mass is deemed to be a terrorist organization by the

e. u. us and numerous other countries. in april is riley strikes, some jobs, the killed 3 of honey ascends, and 4 of his grandchildren. according to him, us at the time, i'm yet insisted. the dates with nose effect. ongoing c spy and hostage tool was despite honey a strong stump. some diplomats regarded him as being more moderate than other hotline members of the group. his successor on the ground and gaza. yeah, he has seen what is deemed to be the person who orchestrated the october steven terror attacks on israel. it's not knowing what involvement honey ahead and organizing the attacks. we have a israel held him responsible and included him and a list of potential targets. the chinese. i was a little bit more about him yet. what was his role within him? mosse, and can you just spell out for us a little bit what the organization looks like and exactly where he fit in?

oh, 1st of all, how much was done in i 1987 by a military age. she's a religious figure down and they know when you're saying he's still very much beloved character among pulsing isn't in the world and, and i me, i grew up in the same village and was sort of as popular j. he goes his helper, who was very much connected to the founding father of her mouse, and that's why we see honey as it's figured that is quite known, despite his actual strength or influence defect on the daily operations of commerce . and this is exactly where we lead it leaves the to understanding of the mos network how it works. it's not much of a, you know, the hurricane. how much of those simple one is we would imagine in a western organized, you know, a unit it's, it's very much, it has 2 different main branches. one of them dealing more with the military aspect, also on the ground and gaza. this is where we ceasing wire, which we know he use the mastermind behind october 7th. and then the political branch where we see here was kind of

a kicked out of the strip because of what was rivalry with a sin. why? who is the leader of the military branch and he was doing what were the goal? she ations with diplomatic ties. he was very much the guy of how much in iran he was very much in charge of the connections with the union with jim. and so when we talk about also connection to october 7th, what happened there? they're still on the certainty of how much did he know how much did he orchestrated in this specific operation. but there's no doubt that he was very instrumental for the cum authorization as a whole for the, you know, a fundraising mechanism and other, you know, the support that gets from here on and so forth. looking at how do you as someone off the face of diplomacy for how mosse, when you look at efforts to bring to an end the war in gaza. what do you think his death will mean for efforts at a ceasefire? well, i, i think this, the steel is dead in the water and i don't know if as well operated on the grounds of these already assume the steel will not be come to fruition or is it, you know, a result that they were willing to take into account because it was more important

for is realty show this achievement of being able to reach hernia to use this very rare opportunity because he has travelling a lot. but usually he's situated in carter, you know, cut his role as a mediator in a, in the talks is such a israel can not really operate on the atari ground these days. so there was an opportunity in israel and seized it, but it's clear that you know, it brings it, you know, and he talks about a deal for now to any, to hold. you know how much we're not gonna show any willingness to negotiate with this realty show. weakness to show any compromise, but we also have to see if at the leadership of come off and guys becoming more and more isolated to is really assassinations, attempts and last months we've seen now here before that we've seen the movie. we've seen other people that are leaders of high ranking in the organization and i'm, it's hard to predict if it makes it seem more, the leader in gauze. i'm more adamant in sticking to his you know, to the war which will head 300 days tomorrow. or is it as witness? and y'all hopes going to break him to finally, you know, make more concessions,

trying to find it really interesting. you've said that he must have felt, i knew i must have a comfortable and safe even being in iran for this presidential and all your ration . are you surprised that he was there in the 1st place given what we now know that he then likely the story, ron, and we know he had very strong ties with them. i think the assumption for yvonne and for many other you know, we have also since has volunteers as today in, in iran the assumption was after april 14th. this is when you're wrong, yvonne launch, i directed talk attack on israel. this felt like you, ryan has sent a message, he's kind of red line was crossed, we were talking back then because it was the 1st time the after many years of shadow war notes, group boxes and so on that you know that the ron is really hostility came to the front line, became a direct confrontation of a direct you want to talk on israel. and the feeling was, i guess, said this has sent a message to israel. of the terence, you know, and what is real is doing now very clearly is saying we're not deterred. you know, we don't care if you are in toronto or anywhere else and you're on. we don't care

about that. we will get you because you are on our target this and, and therefore we're not also afraid of union response. this is what is really trying to say, basically, what are the internal political dynamics with in israel that has made this possible . i understand there's going to be a security cabinet meeting coming up later today. correct? yeah. and it's an, you know, a, she is now basically a one man show. i mean, he has, this has been struggle onto is also a very much of a hawk. he's very much, you know, he's hardliner, he very much pushes for more and more confrontation. but then the moderate forces where we're in his cabinet has, has, are no longer there for a couple of weeks. this is a johnson has the puerto eyes in car. so, and this one here was actually on the one, had far more at the, at the mercy of the extreme right in his government because he needs them in order to maintain his power. but then also at the same time, he has very less, very few of people who might stop him from taking steps like this that could escalate into the war. you know, directly with the ron. and also in one of the reasons we're talking about iran and

israel is because what is relevant saying for years the proxies of you wrong that are surrounding israel, this sort of ring of fire. and that is very much active receipts in the south with who these are the eman where israel was operating 10 days ago. we see it in the northern border. and of course is still ongoing fight and gaza all the time. we're talking to more is going to be $300.00 days of fighting in garza, but you think without the influence of the extreme right on this and yahoo, that is rel, would have gone ahead with a strike with a, with what i'm also saying is an assassination on its leader in other circumstances is real said very clearly from the getting any leaders of hamas, anybody associated with from us for us as an assembly to them at target. it else also has american support in that aspect when it comes to spa and how much you know, seen both by also the americans of touring and his ation is also understanding is resonates to to flight and just defend itself as it would say. even people like count harris who is considered to be a bit more hostile, behind this,

this line of action of israel. so anyway, this is nothing new, but then the more you on is drawn into this, you know, directly into this conflict, which is what we're saying. my probably will happen. the higher the, the, the stakes are. and you know, the easier, you know, the transfer all escalation, this also why we seem responsive from china, russia, of course, everybody in the region caught our jordan 11 and everybody is concerned. everybody wants to put the flames down. but there's seems to be very little attentiveness, a willingness for o'clock, you know, diplomatic efforts right now on either of the sides, especially as well. you know, the implications are truly global. thank you so much for joining us with the source that is due to views, middle east analyst, shiny or is on us. so if you're just joining us, let's bring you up to speed here at the palestinian militant group. i'm off, it says it's political leader is my opinion has been assassinated into ron. here's what we can say for sure. so far in a statement come off says nea was killed while on a visit to iran capital to run,

to attend the inauguration of president must suit possess can it runs revolutionary guard has also confirmed his death, and no one has claimed responsibility for the assassination. but the suspicion has fallen on israel, which has vowed to kill amelia and other leaders from us. isabel has not yet responded to the allegations. a house official says the group will respond to me as jack, the official calling at a quote cowardly act. that will not go unpunished. and of course worth mentioning for the as death. this comes after israel said it had killed a top hezbollah commander in an air strike on a suburb of bay roots, israel, blaine to the group for an attack that killed 12 children, and teenagers and b is rarely occupied. a goal on heights on saturday. an attack which has the la denies involvement in a and i asked the w use bedroom bureau chief mohammed trade show for the reaction

from living on while there has been very slow reaction from live in this morning on the summation of the honey and the been on as billy they just did the attack on, it's the, the with somebody yesterday last night, but there was no doubt that this association would complicate the already inflamed situation. for the 1st, very 1st reaction, though came from his beloved mon needs describing him as a leader adroitly to offer assistance. i think that's the, that's of any it will increase the determination of the resistance fighters and the regions that we should save this attack. of course, as we've mentioned coming just hours after, in other major development in the region. tensions already hi, after israel side it had killed a top has a blog commander and an air strike on that. b route suburb now has a lot, has now confirmed that he was in the building at the time of the attack, but has not confirmed his fate. let's take

a look. it was a question of when not if israel would retaliate after a project of his a soccer field in my spouse, jones in the golan heights and killed 12 children and teenagers. israel blamed, has the law and warrant the militant group who would pay a heavy price is raise. response was a rare air strike on the outskirts of a roof. lebanon's health ministry said the attack, killed at least one woman and 2 children, and wounded dozens. these really made increases, the strike was targeted and killed. the top has block commander to add true core for 2 cor was the right hand man to cross on a swell, feasible as leader. and he's advisor in planning and directing attacks and operations. the united states,

the sugar orchestration of the 1983 bombing of the us marine barracks and bait roof, which killed $241.00 u. s. military personnel on the put a bounty of $5000000.00 on his head. he's been one of the groups leading military figures since it was established by rounds revolution regards more than a 4 decades ago after the israel. how much more broke guys in october 7 to cool was accused by israel of being behind many of the drone and missed out of the tax that has block carrier dyers against israel. israel's claim proves true, soccer will be the most senior has block commander to be killed since 2016. when most of a badger, the in the groups military commander in syria died in an explosion in damascus. the strike is threatened to escalate hostilities between israel and has the law as a time when tensions are already running halls. the u. n. is urging come fearful that the region could be on the brink of a wider war. so from war on this,

let's get back across to mohammed tre to in bay rouge. so as we've just seen, there is really military has confirmed that it killed a has block commander in the root in a targeted attack. how has lot responded to this strike as well? let me start with this statement issued by his blog when the this morning cause blah said it's a premier really preliminary statement to comment on the the, the attack on the solid and suburb of the data. would it confirm that its senior commander was in the targets in the building at the moment or these where he attacked, but it did not indicate his fate and therefore has been lost, said it. we wait until the fate of its senior leader is determined to act accordingly. now that means that there is no doubt that the have on the, on the truth with response to is right as a talk, a on, on it's a strong cold invade would. but the nature of the response to timing the geography and

a is to be determined at the later stage. everyone in beta root and in the region is anticipating how these updates will unfold. and with all of those variables still up in the air, or is it possible to say already what the security implications are for living on? while i can tell you already that data with this is looking in shock today this morning. i usually very busy, but this morning is looking much, much calmer and much different. there's no traffic. the latest events pushed many of the many is to stay at home today in bold about anxiety and fear from an all out war. that of one sense at this stage at this moment that it's, it's really closer than any other time. so people staying home really feeling what could come next. speaking generally, is it possible to say what the perception of risk is in lebanon at this exact moment? how likely do people think we are to see

a wider regional conflict breakout, slow search and the tension is, is peaking in the bottom, but also in, in the region up until last night, this the last night, this was still a kind of a contained confrontation. but the, the, the latest events are a, so some of the game, a changer, this is a cleared extension of the was where the rules of engagement and the daily take for talk on the a 1000 friends and, and in northern israel. so the f one is sensing that we actually reached the structure refresher off a war we've been following on the very intense, the diplomatic and, and political efforts last night to de escalate the situation by pushing his way to avoid targeting civilians or major cities invaded with also putting pressure on his

ballade to exercise restraint in the event of a and it's really a talked about, but i mean it's just weight and, and cd at fate of the has the less commander and the, the, the news coming less incoming last night on the coming off honey, this is gonna obviously change the situation. and thank you so much for your reporting. how does the does he use beverage bureau chief mohammed tried to as well? if you're just joining us, let's bring you an update on our top story. i'm off says it's political leader is maya handy has been assassinated into her on the wrong revolutionary guard has confirmed to the death saying, nia and his body guard were killed and an attack at his residence in iranian capital. so far, no claim of responsibility however, is realizing the past avowed to kill honey and other leaders of come up after the group carried out the october 7th terror attacks. we now have response from iran to the death of nia and

a statement carried on iranian state. media president masoud possession, said that iran will quote, defend it's a territorial integrity taking the honor and pride and will make the terrorist occupiers regret their cowardly act. my reaction is also coming in from other countries, including from the united states. speaking on the sidelines of a visit to the philippines, us defense secretary lloyd austin, said the us had no additional information on the assassination of hon. yeah. awesome. also insisted that the us was trying to cool sanctions in the region and that there was always room for diplomacy. while also reforming support for israel defense and is here is what we can now say for sure at this time about the death of nia. i'm off has said he was killed while on a visit to a ron's capitol to run, to attend the and on duration of the new president my suit possess. can it runs revolutionary guard has also confirmed his death. no claim of responsibility is

real, has declined to comment on him, he is death, and a mazda official says the group will respond to any s cooling the official calling a cowardly act that won't go on punished and for context, an important reminder that he is death comes after israel said it killed a top hezbollah commander and an error strike on a suburb of a root in lab and on. so what does the killing of honey, i mean for israel's war against homos in gaza? i put that question to hon. zach options are diplomats and director of the counter extremism project. um it is katy uh, major escalation, open situation. uh hi. mia is the, the, the old over and the, the all come us human being as us. and they did intent on during the time that he had a 10 that these know gratian of the new uranium president is. of course, a very tenant situation. i mean, he's ready to have amounts of to, to buy that. now, all the details including, i mean,

it would be up for grabs after this for both the chrome like pharaoh attack. but, but to choosing, you know, ration of the being and president has the place and time to do it is of course not only an escalation, and it's war against promises, but also to a certain extent. and escalation is confrontation with you. do you think this could be the spark to ignite, a wider regional or in the middle east? it's possible. i mean, at the moment, uh, neither israel noise or annoying rom have is read. you can dress in them all out war which will end by tragically, definitely the voice ball live will cost israel a lot and in lives and can destruction. however, in inverted escalation, is of course, or raise the risk in these kind of super high 10 situations that we are right now. and this is set me one step on an escalation. now that hopefully can be reversed. what you think is rails, if it is confirmed to be as well,

what do you think their goal could have been in this killing? what kind of effect could the death of nia have on her? mazda is ability to wage war and gaza on the ability or from us to, to terrorize these read aloud of gaza. this will have very limited impact because he has been out of the gaza strip since 2016 even internally in i'm us. that was some criticism that he was involving himself too much to it through the negotiations with the situation in gaza. and the leadership in gaza sing wiper shore is still alive, is definitely the one who calling the shots both as far as the terrace situation and java is concerned, but also ultimately as far as the negotiations to be the hostages are concerned, which is of course now in a very, very troubled waters, because one of the chief negotiators is no longer with us. now,

in the last 24 hours, it appears we're seeing israel going after it, ron bax, will attend to groups leadership in both be root and tire on. why do you think we've seen these strikes happening so closely together? is there something to the timing or is it truly coincidence? well 1st of all, i, the strike on honey clearly was also a target of opportunity. it was absolutely clear that you were dependents. the no gratian it was also quite clear where he would stay in the air on as far as i understand the oldest with the state in the same apartment. so you know, at the time and you know, the place where this man is and you had an opportunity to take him out. um, he was apparently taken out by some areas or an ordinance i. e, a real good from an airplane or a drunk, which is again showing the capabilities of israel to really do position long strikes far outside the country. however, it is also interesting to note that in his address to the joint,

a judge on congress in united states a couple of days ago, the john, yeah. how was trying to paint? there's not as a only war of mazda against israel, about a, all the war of various, you mean in prophecies led by iran, against israel. so, having a key, he's supposed to lead to, in response to the attack on the go like heights. and now the key house, but i must be taken out in a couple of days uh, from a job that is really a political message, even if there was no intention from his way of to do so. and it took only advantage of to close by opportunity. i'm just very briefly, i'm afraid we're almost out of time, but i'm curious what kind of response you might expect to see from iran to this as well. this is a major embarrassment for around those scores. it could not secure the guess of the migration of its president of the i just the past that on wherever responsible for a honey

a security. hence there conformational piece that's not big in the government. this is a real problem for chair on another major embarrassment. i have been several high profile and less nations electrically, reportedly by israel, which will never confirmed these kind of things in the around move the last couple of years. a key tied alita in 2020 a key scientist after. but so this is a problem for the odyssey, which we'll have to respond in some kind. well, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us. that is have the option that we very much appreciate your time today. thank you so much. i and just a quick recap of what we know so far before we go. i'm also says it's political leader is my other idea has been assassinated into ron iran. revolutionary guard has confirmed the death saying i mia and his body guard or killed and then attacked his residence in iranian capital. so far there's been no claim of responsibility. however,

israel has in the past vowed to kill any and other leaders of hamas after the group carried on the october 2nd terror attacks update at this hour. there's more on our website at www dot. com, or you can find us on social media to. that's twitter and instagram. s d w. i'm clear, richardson,

renewed because he's been back out. the don't even don't an eco india next on d w to make that dream of an eco house come true. the best way to do is stress new homes with plate or renovate old buildings in st resources. there's nothing wrong with it or why not, from the house to feel sustainable. mean a construction revenues the do you know which should vc industries has the highest c o 2 emission rates, which is good. concrete,
