we're determined to do everything to protect our country, returned the residence of the north to that homes and continued to follow a simple rule. whoever hunts us, we hunt them sundays escalation for their heightens tensions as talks continue to reach a cease fire and hostage release. steel and gaza to we spoke earlier to our correspondence, phoenix, tom, so it ends, russo. lemme and asked him how concerned people on israel about a possible with his blog. people are indeed worried, i would say, because i would say these rallies are well aware of the fact that his, by the width is well oregon's his while as a whole different ball game, then the operations in gaza at the same time. and people here are sort of used to the current situation. we know that tens of thousands people have been evacuated from the north of his ride and it doesn't look like they're returning

home anytime soon, given the conflict with as well. so, but again, the situation as reports tell us from the past half an hour or so, it looks like both sides aren't interested in and all out escalation. so despite that, so this is a situation which tat escalates where the both sides want to draw not um, and it remains to be seen how it develops in the coming days. meanwhile, his blog has provided more details about its attack, saying it struck a military base. the a tel aviv claim israel denies in a televised speech has blace pos on this role. i said his group would assess the impact of the attack on is really military targets and want that their response may not yet to be over a heavy hit by that. our correspondent, well, how much re to a joints as by now on the line of from day route to good to see you mohammed tell

us about what the leader of hezbollah had to say. as well as chief has on the slot as poor extensively about the morning attacks on his file in retaliation for the coming of its senior military commander for actual could last month. the speech can be divided into separate chapters. the timing, the goals of the a top, the results and consequences, but mainly the counter argument to these really at narrative, in that respect and the from the said that the main target on the operation was the gleaned or the military base near to left eve, which is home to a unit at $8200.00, which was below, excuse us, to be behind the coming off. it's a senior figure and other party operators. and the for lame to, to, to come to a and contradict the is rated claims that they destroyed and were able to stop

the a much larger talk by has blah this morning. we're thousands of rockets according to israel, that we're about to be launched towards the tell of even the from the the operation was the successful according to the plan. and that originally the party had only a wanted to loves $300.00 rockets to disrupt the area of the defenses of israel and paved the way to the 10s of offensive drones to reach the the, the goal in, at the, at the locked space amount of to you probably the also just heard a cynics reporting from jerusalem and what people of their off thinking or feeling how do people 11 on view the situation right now is their concern about a full blown wall between hezbollah and israel. well, that's an ongoing concern. it's been, it's been 10 months now since this conflict began, but to be honest,

today the life was looking quite normal in, in beta, which obviously the tax in the morning brought about and saw you, t and, and fee is that the end is why you'd be responds good, white and the conflict further, but the soon as has been announced to the completion of its military operation and it is right announced the completion of its retaliation over this incident. this front gradually at once, back to the daily routine. you know, the intermittent across the board is showing between has blendy is really the army . this sets off the mood a bit now old lies go to the next round of the negotiation about a possible ceasefire and gaza starting tonight and tomorrow. let's see how this will unfold. indeed to use um, how much freight today. thank you so very much. i as and as we do so it has ballasa attack was in response to in this way, the asteroid last month that's killed. it's senior mando. fletcher for israel is

believed to have assassinated mosley. that is, smiled honey, a into iran. both has blind. iran is about to retaliate, to god against such attacks. israel relies on a multi layer to add defense system. let's take a look. april 2020 full israel sustained a massive mit solve by rush from iran. more than 300 drones rockets and miss solves form a coordinated attack the israel's ad defend systems. it's the greatest challenge yet. israel claims it intercepted, 99 percent of those hostile missiles and trains. so how does a cheap that kind of success? it's down to a multi layered defense approach comprising a number of moving parts. in some cases, quite literally truck towed missile units formed in the most layer, the and it tackles short range threats such as rockets and voltage and was

developed withheld from the us. it has intercepted thousands of broke it since it was instituted in 2011. and israel claims it has a 90 percent success rate. next comes david sling the mid range threats that is designed to shoot down ballistic missiles followed from between 40 kilometers to 300 kilometers away. again, it was developed in collaboration with the us. and the alchemist last is the arrow for the long range ballistic missiles. it operates outside the site must fit in space, which allows for the safe disposal of any non conventional will heads. as, regardless of the methods, intercepting rockets is a costly business. the cost of $1.00 arrow intercept to miss all is between $2.00 and $3500000.00. according to media reports, a 110 of them we used to defend against the radiant attack. suggesting a cost of $385000000.00. the mid range rootkits from the david sling system are

about $1000000.00 each. estimates put the cost at $550000000.00 to $1100000000.00 just for the april operation. there is another important layer to israel, apple as a key pulse of its defense picture. and in addition to all this, that renew tools coming online, such as the ladies a pallet and beam set to be integrated into israel. multi layered and seemingly successful at defense system. as was mentioned earlier, egypt is set to house talks and the latest pushed by us in our diplomats to broker a ceasefire between israel and thomas. again, the release of is rarely hostages, held by the militant group and gossip. is there any media reporting that a government's delegation will attend to the summit? despite the security situation in northern israel, i must, as its representatives and cairo will meet with egyptian delegates,

but not to take part in direct talks, which have been stalled for months. so let's get more on this from the wife autonomy she is the full marketed defense intelligence director intellectually in the fields of international relations and defends in dual hop goods to have you with us and above the negotiations come amid what has been described as one of the biggest attacks by hezbollah and israel since october, 7th, to attack by hum us. so what impact is the situation having on these talks now as well? thank you for having me. um, obviously, as we cannot take operation, uh will have best practices and boxing negotiations negatively. however, as it seems as of tonight, uh, that negotiations and mediation continue and they are not affected by the

operations that happened earlier this morning local time. and hopefully this will continue, it is a good thing that negotiations are going on because the window is closing form a positive outcome. so why exactly do the new gateways negotiations stand at this point as well? the mediators have clearly 3 main points that they want to focus of the attention of the negotiating parties. the 3 main points is association of violence and, and the information on a long term ceasefire, as, as some would with that. and, you know, determine which see how that goes. but association of 5, the 2nd time of hostages off the street through a regimented program agreed between the 2 properties and sub uh, the humanitarian aid, which counselor is, is really in need of right now. and the situation is going for want, unfortunately in, in a, in a negative sense when it comes to the amount of terrier made. unfortunately,

the negotiating policies have also added different elements of the 3 main focus governments. these are these, for instance, i was just one example brought to b, philadelphia called, called her daughter as another element of security involved. and having these really forces that the addiction is obviously out against that for many reasons, least of which is bad would need to. uh, he amend uh the uh, the piece a quarter between egypt and israel that was done back in the seventy's. and that's just taking everything back to a different direction and a much more complicated that is this a sticking point? the one you just mentioned, uh, is this one that could um, destroy the negotiations, basically ruined them. cuz you said the window is very, very short and very close. the window is closing very fast. i

don't personally think that that is a sticking point, but it does depend on negotiating policies. obviously opening up negotiations for other elements that were not in the original binding plan that was proposed by the vitamins, ministration may and then foster 5 by the. when's a security council's decision? i think that deviation or any deviation will just make things much more complicated . is the mediators role now is to focus and re focus the attention of negotiating bodies. no one will get everything they want today, or when the negotiations hopefully succeed. and that's something that both parties must understand. but this should be also understood as a stepping stone towards the um, you know, discussions and negotiations by getting something good. it's much better than getting everything perfect. and i think the mediators are focusing on that. and

that is the biggest challenge and has been the biggest challenge, especially in the past week. yeah, you've been mentioning the 2 sides negotiating. how much, however, will not directly participate in the talks. it will instead be briefed on the status of your view on that. please, well, 2 things on that. first of all, this is not to me, this is what's been going on in the past for to be able to continue to go on. i think moving forward, it's change and that's obviously, that shouldn't come as a surprise because the assassination of the smile, any of the political wing who had did the negotiating team on his end, obviously he did not participate. but he also saw the negotiation as the head of the public to come a wing of moving him from the equation doesn't make negotiation.
