the, the, basically the news life from berlin, iran vows to arrange for the, getting a from us see if the smile honey air. thousands gathered into it onto another man, listed as a potential list in the west. but to go many found a scene in so as a fighter for their cause, is there it is why they believe to be behind this as a nation, plus the international called pro for folks. goals for com. girl, i'm sorry, off of the train attacks and lebanon, and iran, german foreign minister bodies, historian, styles, dw, the war must be averted. the

biggest part of the welcome it on say is that is randomly paid for the assassination of from us as top political need of a smile. here he was killed and then asked strike in there on thousands of gathered . and they didn't even capital for a funeral. on the need, the ballasting in body and militant groups from us on the air was also the chief negotiator and told him that reaching a cease fire with these around it in supremely the other. like how many spoke episode of many it on hold is rather responsible for the kidding. and i said it will make israel regret the move to give most indeed of those middle least understanding of those honors, which has been out in the studio shiny welcome. huge numbers the showing up for that funeral procession. intent on. and what does that tell us about the goals of that on and how moss in the region. well, there's no doubt the 2 are very much

a guest as well, but we've never seen there, you know, they're, they're targets of their, you know, this very tight alignment between the goals and the a and the aspirations of iran and home us together, of course, who run has been supported homeless for a long time, but there was, you know, a somewhat of a distance that yvonne was keeping all through the years. you know, try not to be directly involved using proxies at one of them is from us to most extra, but also is as kamala and the northern border. and now we see, you can see that also we don't, when you look at the photos from the funeral, you see a lot of house and you slides, you'll see flags putting me in the front row along with some customs of the money. for example, the, the late leader of the used to be the leader of the pollution that regards you was assassinated by the americans a couple of years ago. so you see really putting on, you know, in the front lines and, and in, that's the essence of these really probable israel assassination have brought iran and how much, much closer,

deeper into each other's arms. and this could maybe backfire now. now the is really ministry is confirming that a strike that is conducted in the southern guns. i think it was in mid july did indeed to the how much military chief on my desk. correct. i mean, if this is indeed the case, i mean, does that deal a significant blow to a mouse in casa, no doubt, i mean, they attacked face on july 13th. and the past thing is no, probably already from, you know, since then what, what was the, what happened to me, but this is a, is a guy who's been on these are the waiter for many years. the 1st, the assassination attack of a q 7 that were within 2002. and he's seemed very much a man in the shadows. he was hardly also known for palestinians. his name was known as a symbol, but he was hardly ever seen in public. mostly trying to evade is really the army and the tech that we saw. it wasn't then we'll watch the region very close to the humanitarian region and also bear a lot of casualties. policy and casualties is real claims. that only recently got

the final indications that he is. he was successfully for israel successfully assassinated. no doubt that a single were now the leader of hamas in gauze and the military leader of colorado is very much isolated. a lot of the top people he used to, people like that he used to work very close with deaf, is supposed to be the month, the mastermind when it comes to the military operations of homos and the tunnels, you know, many of them are no longer around him come us do, you know, is not eliminated in the sense that all of the members are gone. this is maybe something that israel would never achieve. but as an organization, we see this very, you know, big chaos of disorganization and maybe very at we see also there's hardly any retaliation. any ability to get organize in order to be know, bring a coordinated response against israel for all of these killings. so now we're talking about some 3 major assassinations in recent days. do of a must be, does and wonder if i, hezbollah or commander. does that indicate a somewhat

a change in tactics from east span when it comes to dealing with the these in proxies. i think is this part of the vision you're making there because if you look at that, we also look at what happened in the data in the how many port israel moving, you know, shifting gears from less of a responsive, a stand to more of an active when we put this, you know, let's keep in mind, israel has been very active and gaza. we we know of and i'm president and it's a number of civilian casualties and casualties in general and gaza. it's not like israel's been sitting, you know, idly by but you know, there's a, there's a feeling is really a public. and also i'm going to get some of the leaders in the defense minister administer and so on. that israel is trying to be more, you know, a pro active and taking initiative and less responsive and will it change the strategy? wouldn't bring israel closer to its end goal. i think we're not, you know, fully there yet. really but there for the moment, but thanks so much for coming into the blue shining those on us. thanks. welcome. i mean right in tel aviv days,

barely walk cabinet matched to discuss the rising tensions is around has not confirmed or denied that it was behind the attack that killed honey a. but it did announce that it was responsible for an s strike on a suburb of beta road that came to his block. amanda prime minister benjamin netanyahu sought to reassure his rallies that the country is ready to face down. threats from both iran. lebanon's has beloved. you know, mean not very challenging days ahead of us. but since the attack and by boot threatens have been heard from all sides. and we are prepared for any scenario and we will stand united undetermined against any threat as well. but exact a heavy price, the any aggression that guided stuff. so any from the last year he did have those rebecca that are this following developments from jerusalem milestone earlier. how, why the people are about to tally ition from it on following media reports that it on supreme need to order an attack on israel as well. that's why that is reporting

coming from the new york times to say that the ad harmony has ordered a direct attack. they've certainly said publicly that they will be responding and retaliating as you've just been reporting against what they say is, and is riley attack of cause. israel haven't claimed responsibility publicly, although the benjamin netanyahu did hinted it last night in his address to the nation, saying that israel had had a devastating a devastating blow to your wrongs proxies in the plural. cuz let's not forget we're talking about to assess the nations in less than 24 hour period. one just hours before the is male, honey assessed to assess the nation in iran. a one of the key come out and is it a his, but a group was killed in baby root and israel did claim responsibility for that attack . so iran suddenly saying that they will come out in defense. and you know, it's hardly surprising. this isn't in very balancing blurry for iran, but let's say israel a little bit, an assassination was able to take place inside on the silver. and so it was so they,

they have little choice not to retaliate. now whether or not they do it on solving is riley soil of course remains to be saying that has been president of that. we saw that happen for the 1st time in april when iran retaliated to another assessor assessor nation. that they believe israel carried out and they, you know, st hundreds of missiles and drawings in to is ready as space. most of course were shut out by israel and its allies. but there is certainly president for that. and we'll just have to see how big an attack iran and prepared to, uh, to, to give israel, but we're talking also there are people talking about a 3 frontal, multi fronted attack, where all the way around the proxies may coordinate, including the who t's from yemen. and has the mouse as well, so we just have to see how big it is. and then of course, what that means in terms of a wider conflict in the region or your secretary of state antony blinking,

say is the kind of to directory of events in the middle east will lead to more violence and insecurity. he says this he's fighting does is necessary to prevent further violence, you know, starts with the cease fire and to get there. it also 1st requires all parties to talk to stop taking any s, latour, reactions. it also requires them to find reasons to come to an agreement not to look for reasons to delay or say no to the agreement. and is that all parties make the right choices in the days. ahead and earlier i spoke to john as husband blueshot and keitel and aust about how big a blow honey is kidding, is for him us. mia was the top leader off of from us. and it's, it's the to mention that he's not the adult influence impasse. and i mean,

if we talk about the situation and the war in gaza, the military wing is the most powerful part or by the, the, the influence of the war in go in and goes like permanently. but it would be a political problem for, from us. and it will be a debate over who's gonna replace him. so who is going to replace them as well, according to the, to the how much a no, honey, i got 3 deputies, one of them already killed and one in, in garza city a is a yes and more who's not available and he's under a ground. so busy with the war, the 2nd one is the side hit. our legal was killed in, in they wrote a lawyer. the 3rd one is a valid, michelle who's into high and who's the foreigner, a leader of how much before had the so according to the no one of the

3 deputies. and it should take the place. but that is not nice as of late. it may be, some changes would happen because of the many other parties would, would influence that. i mean, the hosting country like kata, and you're on the supporting country. what influence if they are in favor all fairly much trouble or not other parties like egypt or other or categories who is in interested all stuff. let's see me in an issue. so that's the, it's not it blister eh, crystal clear about that. who's going to replace him, but according to zillow most likely will be cited michelle trellis housing. but it was just speaking to me earlier from cairo now with both iran and the lebanese bennett and group has belie promising natalia sion for recent strikes. there's a growing fear that allows a conflict in the region. these unavoidable germinated,

defense minister spoke to the deputies, became like this now about the situation in the middle east on the edge. and so you have continued diplomacy a currently there's a huge concern is that there could be a loss for in the middle east offset. the hamas leader was killed in a wrong is on the but also meeting member has pulled off your american counterparts . north austin says that the rule can be prevented is what is your assessment of? well, of course load austin does ride can be prevented, but it has to be need to be that needs to be preventative because nobody calloway can. you can even imagine the escalation of the region, we don't need that, we don't want that and we have to do to try everything add to making floating, so available, available to all actors in the region, not to escalate and pay attention to the escalation and to do everything for getting peace back in that region as soon as possible. what does this mean for them

and weapons deliveries with his commitment towards israel, but also if the german needs participation in of refills on the 11th, you feel is lot detached. at the moment we, we continue, we proceed with our engagement over there. of course we uh, we assume the situation every, every day, every hour. uh but we, so we stay there. we want to make uh all the initial decisions over there. and the debit card respond to june. us identity has more now on germany's involvement in the middle east swell. germany has been trying since the start of, of the conflict between israel and an in gaza against when israel's repercussion, and of the conflict against how mosque there uh, has already started from the beginning to try to ease the tensions in the region and try to prevent the further escalation of the conflict across the region,

and this is something that it continues doing. but when we talk about presence of germany on the ground, germany is part of the uni field mission and 11 on it is part of a naval task force with german ships and soldiers that are there who primarily try to stop within smuggling into 11 on and therefore, try to guarantee stability in the region, but a german forces also contribute to training lebanese forces and have also provided equipment to the lebanese forces to download your last identity. that a quick reminder of the top study we have following for you at this, iran has vowed revenge on his rel, fluid claims for assassinating who mazda is done politically? is marla honey, a. and asked, striking that on. lots crowds have gathered in that area and kept looking for a funeral for honey, i'm going fair as if a wider reason. conflict is fairly prime minister benjamin netanyahu. a said he's country was prepared for all scenarios you're up to date coming up next off of the
