we already heard from the iranians and hezbollah, again, not hezbollah directly, but pro hezbollah media in lebanon, essentially saying, we are going to give these peace talks a chance, we are going to wait to see if they failed, and if they do, then it sounds like we are going to attack and we heard from hezbollah a couple of weeks ago saying that prolonging the punishment against the israelis was part of the punishment, i am paraphrasing here. so, this is something they have been considering, you know, that they were just going to kind of wait to see, they were going to keep israel on edge and one of their goals, from the beginning, has long been to try and distract the israeli military from their operations in the gaza strip. that is what they have been sing repeatedly ever since october 7th, and one of the reasons why they are maintaining their attacks over lebanon's southern border into israel was to try and distract the israeli forces from doing operations in the gaza strip. whether or not that satisfies them, that is another thing. so, basically it sounds as though, by launching t

the next point is that israel's attack on hezbollah in the past is an attempt to engage a hezbollah. israel does not play iran's answer. manod is on his own decision and will not enter this game. hizbullah is the only resistance group that has been able to reach the depths of israel with proper planning and proper management until today, when i am at your service. it states that every weakness has. the next point is that hezbollah is waiting for israel's reaction to the citizens. he gives civilian citizens to inflict a psychological burden on the citizens to convince hezbollah citizens to stop their attacks, they do not know that hezbollah and lebanese citizens, like hezbollah itself or capable and righteous people, know that war has certain consequences. it has its own and they should be flexible in this matter so that they can respond to brutality and brutality. the modern apartheid of israel must answer somewhere if they keep silent about the eden issue or, i should say, the service they want to do to the sea. iraq will expand this border, israel is following its own doctrine, it

hezbollah then fired upwards of 320 rockets, according to hezbollah and drones, all mostly targeting northern israel. now, local media is reporting hezbollah had plans to launch an estimated 6000 rockets and uavs, both towards central and northern israel. but israel's preemptive strike obviously dampened that. so now the region must wait and see what will happen over the next 48 hours to see if hezbollah again, if this is just truly the first phase. but it will also be interesting to see what happens with the ongoing peace talks. as of right now, israel is sending a delegation to cairo, egypt to meet up with mediators from the u.s, qatar and egypt. so it will be curious to see just if this if this peace process moves forward, if they can at least get the first phase of the cease fire agreement agreed to by both hamas and israel, we know the main sticking points have really involved two corridors the netzarim corrido, which separates northern and southern gaza, and the philadelphia corridor, which is along the egyptian gaza border, which israel says they want to have an israeli presen

and it's not just hezbollah, it's hezbollah in lebanon attacking the united states, attacking israel. it's hamas in gaza, attacking israel. it's the houthis in yemen, attacking commercial shipping and american vessels in the persian gulf. and it's iran backed militias in iraq that killed hundreds of u.s. soldiers when we were at war there. in that country using explosive form penetrators. so this is the iranian government, not the iranian people, but the iranian government coming after us as they have since, as you point out, 1979, when they kidnaped the american hostages. it was it was their operatives who killed americans at the at the embassy in beirut as well. and so this is a war that has gone on between us and them, and they continue to take the fight to us and our and our allies. and it's important that we respond and respond effectively, not just to defend our own interests there in the middle east, but to defend those who have been attacked by terrorists, as we were on nine over 11. you know, if you think about it, kevin, what happened in october to israel was the equivalent

if you put a hezbollah force against a zionist force, the motivation of a hezbollah force is a hezbollah force that is ready to sacrifice its life to defend its own land and organization. if we compare these two against an imported zionist soldier who cannot have a real motivation for war, we can see that the difference is from earth to heaven, and this is a very obvious issue that day by day affects the strength of the front. it adds resistance and weakens the strength of the zionist regime it is destroying it, god willing, mr. konem moghadam, in the opening part of your speech , you mentioned the importance of the first narrative, your excellency, in addition to this issue, which is very important, i apologize to an internet connection so that this connection is not interrupted, i will have the conversation later. i will be your excellency, mr. hikmat shahr, an expert in west asia, they are in contact with us from beirut, mr. shahrour , i greet you. martyr fouad shekar, one of the lebanese hezbollah commanders. in the name of god, the most merciful, the most merciful, in the name of th

hezbollah, and the idf. we'll have more on that right after this short break. >>> who suspended his ill fated independent presidential campaign yesterday. and threw his support behind the twice impeached four dimes indicted, convicted on 34 felonies former president. what that could mean and what's ahead with our expert guests in a few moments. but first, my biggest take away, from a convention that was full of joy, excitement, and love of country. for far too long, republicans treated the flag, the word patriotism, and chants of usa as their own property. if you weren't a republican or a conservative, you weren't a real american, or so they would have everyone believe. at the 2004 democratic convention in boston, then illinois state senator barack obama started something when he said this in his keynote address. >> there is not a black america and white america and latino america and asian america. there is the united states of america. we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and strip

and is there going to be some kind of a follow on attack from hezbollah? yes.of course, is israel's surveillance of that area. and in order to mask for a big attack like this, you know, this tells me that israel had a pretty good perspective on what was going on. and because israel is striking with its air force, they have the ability to continue to strike and strike. if they pick up intelligence of other massing of rocket battalions or missiles or drones moving into place. so while hezbollah has a lot of weaponry, israel has a pretty deep arsenal and an ability to strike back. and i think the hope is that this will eventually contain this before we see something like a repetition of the 2006 war that that went on for about 30 days between these two sides. and it bears mentioning that this all started at least this most recent round with the october 7th attacks on israel, in which some 1400 israelis were killed or kidnaped. doctor rebecca grant, thank you. thank you. and again, if you're just joining us, israel says it carried out preemptive strikes against sev

be hezbollah's style and this method, and the fact that hezbollah declares that it was done successfully, is almost self-evident that the arrest was a complete success. a security cabinet meeting is being held in almost the ministry of war, and this shows that the level of this operation is higher than a controlled and predicted conflict, and now the zionists are looking for answers or political decisions in this regard. it was an operation, but what characteristics this operation can have, in my opinion, is important the most important issue is that when we look at the history of confrontation between the sanisti regime and the nations of the region. we refer to the course of the wars with the arab countries from 1973 onwards, with the sarionist regime practically entering into aggressive wars, that is, practically with its own ally , the united states of america, and in a way, the weapons equipment that it has, due to a cognitive war, hinders its opponents. it has entered into itself from military actions , but in the last few years we have seen that things gradually happened around it

, today, hezbollah unveiled a part of its capabilities if it fights. it will be on its way and it will fall on the heads of israel like thunder. you mentioned the surprises that hezbollah has for the zionist regime. as a final question, i want to review gallant's recent talks together. gallant said that although i was in favor of attacking lebanon at the beginning of the war. october 10 myself to that cabinet the war suggested that we launch a full-scale attack on lebanon and go to war with hezbollah, but now he says that i am against us attacking lebanon . what is your assessment of such a change at the head of the zionist military forces? now they are against the attack that they had proposed in the beginning. there are political problems between netanyahu and the war council. if we go back to the early days of the war, we can see that netanyahu said that we should enter rafah, but the war council said that we want to enter rafah , we will not enter rafah and we will enter the war with hezbollah. became. but now we see the political tensions between

they do not rush to either clarify hezbollah's claims. all rush to put out information about injuries and casualties to soldiers, or rush to put out information about damage to defensive or offensive military equipment. but it is something we can expect an assessment on later, and it's certainly something that will be being factored into that security council cabinet at the moment to assess hezbollah's accuracy and capabilities. but i think the other important thing to say here is that these 11 targets albeit military ones what will cross a red line for israel in terms of an potential for escalation response is if there have been high civilian casualties. now, hezbollah is claiming, claiming at the moment that they're only targeting military sites and that is sort of within the expected red lines of both countries. however we don't have a full readout of what's been hit, who's been injured, and they extend to the damage done from israel's perspective, if the, if the damage is maybe deep, then they may feel the need to take stronger and fu

what was hezbollah actually at the ready?> not normal for hezbollah to have so many weapons at the ready to go at any one time. >> so it seems that the intelligence israel was basing its preemptive strike on, had a degree of accuracy because hezbollah had more weapons than normal ready to go and they did fire the idf say that the target against mostly in the north, but somewhere in central israel, the idf has not given any specifics about any of the military sites that the 11 military sites that hezbollah claims to have targeted the idf has also saying that the damage was very little, very little damage. we know of one civilian only who was wounded by falling shrapnel. and that was in the north and aco to the north, the country went on to a higher state of alert. planes were stopped from flying out of ben gurion airport here in tel aviv. they've restarted. now they're delayed many of them but there were there were stricter conditions put on social gatherings leisure and cultural activities banning was banned on the beach here

of, hezbollah strikes. and what israel says was a preemptive attack good morning and thank you so much for having me on so big picture. >> this is a strike a retaliatory strike by by hezbollah that was planned and was expected. it was entirely expected after it's real assassinated hezbollah's top military commander and subsequently, the hezbollah secretary general hassan nasrallah stated very clearly that the organization was poised to retaliate for the assassination and the delay in the timing of that attack was part of its psychological war fair against israel. that idea that israelis were living in fear waiting to see what kind of attack would come and when it would come. >> so this was all played out very publicly. >> it was not a surprise. what it does tell us though, about the larger picture in the region is that things are not going well. the ceasefire there are negotiations that have been going on for months between israel and hamas, which were supposed to have offered all the actors in the region f

so that was a response to a buildup of hezbollah forces as far as hezbollah is claims to have targeted 11 military sites. what we understand from the idf is that the most of the targeting most of hezbollah's targets were in the north of israel, although there is the idf also says that has louis trying to target in the center of israel, there has been no reported impacts in the center of is where we're aware of and this certainly can polls with what the idf is saying, managing to forge and hold back the preponderance of the hezbollah attack now, the whole country north of tel aviv was put on a heightened state of alert. officials here closing beaches telling the population in tel aviv 200 240 air raid shelters open and available that open more if needed, warn people not to go sit in those shelters right now. but since then, over the past, are and a half, we've seen those high threat level warnings are high preparedness for the population, the home front instruction because if you will, security instructions have been have been toned down for a lot of the north of the country from tel av

hezbollah announced. a very sensitive military location was targeted in this operation and the operation was carried out successfully. in the coming days, there is a possibility that let's witness the next stage of hezbollah's response, but the exact time, place and manner of this response will be known only in the field and at the moment of the start of the operation. the zionist army claimed to have destroyed 1,000 hezbollah rockets in a preemptive strike this morning, but even zionist sources expressed doubts about this. the prime minister of the zionist regime, netanyahu , asked the members of the cabinet of this regime to refrain from any comments about the events of this morning. civilian citizens in this country will face a very strong reaction from the resistance, nasrallah, secretary general of hezbollah in lebanon, in a speech at 18:00 local time. the details of today's operation will be announced by the resistance . today, lebanese mourners at the arbaeen hosseini ceremony in the city of balbak

israel launched a wave of airstrikes against hezbollah

i was a part of hezbollah today. on october 10th, i suggested to that war cabinet that we launch a full-scale attack on lebanon and go to war with hezbollah, but now i am against it. even though we will attack lebanon , what is your assessment about such a change in the leadership of the zionist military forces , how did this change of opinion take place during these 10 months when they themselves are against the attack that they initially proposed . we can see this change in several dimensions. the most important dimension. there is a war council. if we go back to the early days of the war, we see that netanyahu said that we should enter rafah, but the war council said that we want to enter rafah , you will not enter rafah. and it will also fail against hezbollah . israel was only able to succeed in a very small security operation in syria, lebanon and iran and it did not have a great success. yes, doctor, thank shaher. thank you for accepting our invitation . it is now around 3 am, i think it is beijing time. thank

hezbollah is step the operation. the commander of resistance martyr fouad shekar has announced that he is ready to avenge the assassination. some media reports that the purpose of this phase of the resistance attack is to weaken the offensive and defensive power. and they also analyzed the intelligence of the zionist regime in the main operation, following the massive drone and missile attacks in the first phase , a state of emergency was declared throughout the occupied territories . zionist sources announced the cancellation of all flights at the ben-gurion international airport in tel aviv and the displacement of hundreds of people. french airlines has canceled all its flights to occupied palestine today. haifa beach in northern palestine occupancy is also closed until further notice. the zionist army also announced a traffic ban from the border of lebanon to the goshdan area in the center of occupied palestine , and the gathering of more than 30 people is also prohibited. the haft tv channel of the zionist regime

hezbollah _ from here? i think that is the big question. hezbollah have - from here?ion. hezbollah have said i from here? i think that is the big i question. hezbollah have said today this first phase of their retaliation for the assassination by israel of that senior hezbollah commander back injuly, they said that phase has concluded for now. on the other hand, we had the israeli prime minister say this is just the start of the beginning of changing the game in the north. so sight might be right, we might go back to that routine day—to—day exchanges of fire which is relatively calibrated, but while that is happening there is always the fear they could end up being civilian casualties on either side and that could lead to a much broader escalation. jan. side and that could lead to a much broader escalation.— broader escalation. jon, we are expecting _ broader escalation. jon, we are expecting hezbollah's - broader escalation. jon, we are expecting hezbollah's leader. broader escalation. jon, we arej expecting hezbollah's leader to broader escalation. jon, we are - exp

hezbollah says it launched more than 300 missiles. a short time ago, hezbollah confirm they're carrying out strikes in response to the killing think of a top commander last month israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is set to meet soon with his security cabinet, the white house says president joe biden is monitoring events and communicating with israeli counterparts 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, malcolm, as we've often discussed, in this part of the world the biggest risk is that of unintended consequences. what are your concerns in this chapter of the conflict in terms of what could come next well, i think we've all been on sort tenterhooks waiting for some sort of attack to breakout and now it looks like this could be the beginning of a process of escalation. >> certainly, i think israel clearly had credible intelligence such as that hezbollah was going to launch an attack. so they dec

take it to hezbollah in lebanon. take it inside tehran to high level assets and see if that can, combined with u.s. threats behind the scenes, actually achieve some sort of deterrence. and one last thing. i'm running out of some time here again, the minister saying that israel doesn't seek this all out war against iran backed proxies or hezbollah, they're fighting a war in gaza. but at this juncture, i only have a few seconds. israel hitting targets in. i'm out of time, rich. i'm going to have to go to break. thank you for your time. again, if you're just joining us, israel says we're carrying they carried out preemptive strikes overnight. we're going to squeeze in this we're going to squeeze in this break and come right back force factor total beets is the number one beets brand in america. that's why friends and family recommend total beets. now you can find total beets blood pressure chews at walmart so you can boost nitric oxide, support blood pressure and improve heart health. rush to walmart and find total beet

take us through what hezbollah is saying about the targets and what might come next hezbollah put outouncements 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

israel will not tolerate hezbollah�*s attacks on our civilians.ns ready to do everything...everything we need to defend the people of israel. attack, which it says has that attack, which it says has begun to take place today. israeli media also reporting flights to and from tel aviv have been suspended. warning sirens have sounded in northern israel, we know the feminist netanyahu will be ordering a security cabinet meeting in a matter of minutes. israeli defence minister has also now declared a homefront emergency and we have also heard from hezbollah saying it will take some time to complete its response. that is later is now coming from hezbollah. we will hand over to our colleagues in london. they will have the letters on the developing story for us right here on bbc news, so stay tuned. hello there. it looks like it's going to get warmer next week, particularly for southeastern parts of the uk. quite cool, though, for these areas in particular on saturday where we had the cloud and rain. a weather front has taken the wet weather away, but the

well, hezbollah's statement also stated that this is the first stage of the operation that hezbollah has carried out. and hezbollah will surely publish more details in its next announcements, mr. taghbinian. my voice is for israel and the regime regarding these restrictions that are being implemented zionist, please explain. you see , the zionist regime is a very closed regime, which means that it has a small population, the occupying zionists, and that it applies strict security control regarding the media and that the news of resistance attacks is not published . we saw that most of the clips that were published were taken by palestinians who live in the west bank and the occupying zionists almost did not publish the video of the rockets of the islamic republic. i want to say this. that this regime is one of its tools to keep the internal front calm in addition to the defense weapons that it has , it is the media, which through controlling the media can manage its domestic public opinion and reduce their anxiety and to some extent reduce the effect of hezbollah's attacks so that th

and so do most of the player, including hezbollah, hezbollah, playing that deal today, that if thereill be a ceasefire in gaza, it will not, it will stop pairing israel but hezbollah came the conclusion which anyone who follows the negotiation must come. those negotiations are, although they lead to nowhere, as long as israel is not reading any, it is not ready to stop the war in gaza to put an end to it's not just a ceasefire, but to put an end to it. and to withdraw from the gaza. as long as this does not happen, the fire in gaza continues and the risk of a regional war is still here. and here we are this morning mr. larry, were you as a former israeli government official, putting the blame on the israeli government for being an obstacle to peace in gaza. the supported because i got more mature than i learned a lot ever since i was the aide of shimon peres, its decades ago. but in any case, that's not the point. the point is that israel is not ready to put an end to the war and it's saying quite clearly, israel even risking the fate of the hostages in order to continue the war. acc

where does it leave hezbollah now? of hezbollah�*s missiles, as has been reported, they have 150000 in itsd stable. the question becomes not how many muscles were destroyed but how many were the important position guided missiles hezbollah used to target specific targets including israel leadership and military command and control and i think and control and i think israel's intelligence capacity has demonstrated an ability to focusing on key areas. i would not be surprised if hezbollah had certificate blow to its capability today. —— significant blow. when you look at the target here, and on the by hezbollah but also israel in terms of what was struck and what might have been targeted. no civilian targets and a lot was limited to military sites. did you see there a calibration may be on both sides to try to avoid a larger conflict breaking out? avoid a larger conflict breakin: out? . , , ., breaking out? certainly. israel and lebanese _ breaking out? certainly. israel and lebanese hezbollah, - breaking out? certainly.

hossein tried very hard to use hezbollah's traditional facilities in this operation. that is, even though he reached the outskirts of talaviu and this had a clear message, he tried to use the facilities of technology and his traditional ammunition, but he did not use advanced weapons to say that i have this power , but i can do it in the same range. let me give you your answer . one is the same issue. in my opinion, these three were the main points , but i would also like to say this last point, mr. yasser hassan as in the announcement number 3, the resistance came in a way to open the way for the next programs and to answer and continue these answers . we will go over the things that have already been discussed, but one very important point that attracted attention was that they gave the exact scenario of psychological warfare and the cover line of israel with detailed explanations. making it look false and it became clear that all their security and military bluffs were lies and precise targets were targeted and israel is more humble and humiliated. it has been more

kesinnejad, what effects did this passage of hezbollah's missiles and warplanes have?s near the border were evacuated, were less likely to face this issue, and most of the soldiers who are stationed there, well, they touched on this issue a lot when hezbollah drones came and hit them, successful hits. it is also accurate, but even now , they can even see all kinds of israeli drones at greater ranges than this. you see, in the last one or two weeks, people in the streets have been filming these drones with their mobile phones, this feeling is being felt by the military to the whole society, that this is a heavy feeling. the next thing is that the israelis say that hezbollah apparently it is using new drones, for example, the same drone that we saw in the picture was a fully detected drone, not intercepted, not even detected at all , and no danger sirens or warnings were issued to it. it didn't happen because this drone was raised to spy and identify the area. if this drone was carrying explosives, it could have caused a lot of damage and this will increase the concern f

and hezbollah are not 'ust a owerful for. and hezbollah are not 'ust a powerful military * for.e, they - for. and hezbollah are notjust a powerful military force, they are j powerful military force, they are also political force, powerful military force, they are also politicalforce, aren't they? how much support do you think they have, and for their actions, and how much support would they have if there were to be an all—out war, and does not concern the leadership at all? it does not concern the leadership at all? . . , does not concern the leadership at all? . ., . , does not concern the leadership at all? . ., , , all? it certainly concerns them, but it robabl all? it certainly concerns them, but it probably doesn't _ all? it certainly concerns them, but it probably doesn't limit _ all? it certainly concerns them, but it probably doesn't limit what - all? it certainly concerns them, but it probably doesn't limit what theyl it probably doesn't limit what they do. hezbollah has shown that it will take actions that it feels are important to defend itself or to defend lebanon. l

and will hezbollah now respond to those strikes?> we weren't hearing anything specific, michael certainly everybody has been talking now for almost four weeks about his butler's response to the 30 july assassination of fu'ad shukr senior hezbollah military commander here in beirut. but certainly no, i mean, we the indications we were getting in the hours before this israeli preemptive strike. i was at these rallies were preparing, getting ready, so forth. but no, there was no specific intelligence on that. now and what we've got this morning, his bulla has put out a statement on its telegram channels saying that it has begun its response to that 30 july assassination by firing volleys of rockets and attack drones at israeli positions, including a specific you mentioned a qualitative military target. the details of which it's going to reveal later on. so it says this is the beginning of their response. regardless of whether this was an israeli preemptive strike or otherwise and that this could go on for quite some time now, it's wort

the situation now in northern israel between hezbollah and israel between hezbollah and israel is verythreatening to be a wide war between both parties. figs is threatening to be a wide war between both parties.- between both parties. as you mention this _ between both parties. as you mention this is _ between both parties. as you mention this is an _ between both parties. as you mention this is an ongoing i mention this is an ongoing situation with very high—stakes. there are some lines were getting from the united states, the ally of israel, and a country heavily involved in ceasefire talks that have been ongoing. again, a reminder of the steaks and the pentagon has said it is posturing to support the defence of israel and we have heard from several agencies at the white house and president joe biden has directed us officialsjeep continuously stay in communication with israeli officials — as has directed you with officials to continuously stay, head of this meeting with the war cabinet. let's stay with this story and speaking to laura blumenfeld, middle east analyst and former senior

the leader of hezbollah in lebanon said. today's aimless attacks by the zionist regime after hezbollah's successful operation broke israel's intelligence and made america following today's response of lebanon's hezbollah to the zionists following their terrorist attack on beirut and the martyrdom of fouad shekar, resistance commander seyed hassan nasrallah announced the success of the arbaeen attack and the collision of resistance drones with the main targets near tel aviv and said : the received information shows that a large number of the enemy is covering up as always and the passage of time will clarify the reality. we are facing an israeli lie, which is all lies, empty claims, and we are facing their intelligence failure, because they did not discover our launch pads, or drones, or launch pads. materials and all operations were executed successfully. the failure of information and the failure of their preventive operations was the failure in the places they bombarded and said ballistic missiles. seyyed hassan nasrallah

hezbollah destroys the army of the wicked hezbollah destroys the army of the wicked and gives the people of the arabs the army of the wicked hizbullah destroys the army of the wicked and gives the people of the arabs the weapons of the party's creed, the weapon of the party's creed, the weapon of light for the fire, the weapon of the ummah , the weapon of the ummah, the weapon. ahud ansar is the weapon of yabani emtna, the weapon of ahud ansar. hizbollah al-jabar is the orphan of jaish al-asharar, hezbollah is the orphan of jaish al-asharar , and he gives the arab people the glory of glory or honor. lebanon, or the branches of palestine, or the peoples of the arab nation, whether it is the time of victories or the time of defeats, if nasrallah is at the end of the day, if nasrallah is at the end, the people of the chosen one will be shaken, or the people of palestine will advance, or the people of the arab nation will advance to the jihad of the treacherous enemy, or nasrallah will advance to the jihad of the enemy , the dust of hezbollah, the army of the wicked. hizbollah al-jabbar is d

hezbollah says that the first phase of its operation to retaliate for the killing of that senior hezbollaher at the end of july, it says that first phase has now ended. for israel's part, benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister said last night that this was just the beginning and that he wanted to change the game in the north, change the game in terms of the situation in the north of israel. you have tens of thousands of people on both sides of the border living close to the border area who have been displaced now for many, many months. there will be increased diplomacy this week to try and ensure that this doesn't flareup into something much more dangerous, and a lot of this is tied to the ongoing diplomacy to try to get a cease-fire deal in gaza. we have still got officials from qatar and collegiate working in cairo to try to progress with a cease-fire and hostage release deal for gaza between israel and hamas. to be honest, those talks don't seem to be going anywhere despite intense diplomatic pressure especially from the united states. the u.s. has said that key to calming things

just as hezbollah's rockets and hezbollah's pahavads were able to do it. to enter or enter the occupied territories, this is a big goal in itself , if these mossad bases were able to be accessed by hezbollah and hit , thank you very much for being with us, mr. ghaluvi. continuing, i have some questions for you, mr. mossadeqpour, this is a point that was mentioned in qaravi's hours , mr. talabi, and in the previous section, there was a reference to censorship. from the point of view of your excellency , it seems that as much as the zionist settlers trust nasrallah's words , they don't trust their own leaders. netanyahu's israeli regime and government has really had a negative burden on him, that's all. create security, scare the people, that's it now , yes, the zionist regime, i think that's it it has an expiration date, that is , it has an expiration date for the zionist regime, and netanyahu also has an expiration date . in my opinion, netanyahu has reached the expiration date, considering the differences with the united states. the americans are criticizing not because of palestine be

that does not mean that hezbollah will not, in the future, conduct a retaliatory strike for hezbollah. they have other, infrastructures. rather they have other options that they can activate. they have assets that they've cultivated within israel. they could attack israeli assets abroad like they did in 2012 with the burgas bus bombing. but i don't foresee the next 24 hours seeing another, attack the way we saw from from the north. david. thank you. let's bring chanley into the conversation. chanley. thanks, kevin. let's bring in rich too, as well. rich goldberg is with us on the phone. i want to ask rich to follow up what david was saying about hezbollah statement claiming victory over their strikes into israel. the leader of hezbollah is expected, according to reporting from our correspondent, jeff paul is expected to speak later today. rich, what do you expect to hear from him, if at all? is it even unusual to hear from the leader after a strike like this? no. i think david's spot on in his predictions here. and he studied nasrallah far closer in his career than i have. i think you

arbaeen hezbollah should censor. some news sources announced that, in addition to the commander, the deputy of the 820 unit was also killed in the arbaeen operation of the lebanese hezbollah . this unit is responsible for cyber espionage in the information of the zionist army known as aman. to this list of media sources, the death of one of the prominent zionist scientists in the field. artificial intelligence has also been added. the zionist media kept silent about this news. at 4 am, 100 fighter planes arrive in the sky of lebanon. 270 points are bombarded with rockets. targets, hezbollah rocket launchers. american cnn reporter from one of officials of the ministry of defense of this country. an hour later , hezbollah forces fired 300 rocket launchers from the same areas after praying the morning prayer . the rockets passed from the south and confused the iron dome until the drones reached deep into the occupied territories. not only do they hack computers, but they also hack security cameras. netanyahu denied the

lebanon's hezbollah has announced a special situation on the internal front of the occupied territories for the next 48 hours. an hour ago, at least 11 bases of the zionist regime's army in the north of the occupied territories and the occupied golan region were targeted with 120 missiles. lebanon's hezbollah carried out these attacks in response to the aggression of the zionist regime against the lebanese and the assassination of fad shakar the chief commander of the resistance has declared. lebanon's hezbollah said that this movement is at the highest level of preparation and punishing israel will be hard and painful. hizbollah has emphasized this point that the anti -israeli operation will continue for some time and the first phase has ended successfully. network. 12 israel has announced that hezbollah plans to launch about 6,000 missiles and drones deep into israel . netanyahu held an emergency meeting after the lebanese hezbollah's airstrikes on targets in the occupied territories and promised to retaliate. following these attacks, haifa municipality has announced the opening of th

hezbollah denied that.me minister condemned israeli aggression calling it a critical act. the former egyptian assistant foreign minister, thank you. we had initial reports that he survived but now hezbollah have confirmed his death. >> yesterday, there were doubts. today, confirmed the chief of staff of hezbollah has died in the israeli assassination on his life. we are waiting for retaliation on the part of hezbollah. we don't know how things will develop. it depends on the targets that could be chosen. and whether israel would attack back at hezbollah. the u.s. and arab countries including egypt are concerned about the risks of further escalation between hezbollah and israel. having said that, i don't think the assassination of hezbollah leaders, palestinian leaders, whether from hamas or any other organization would diminish the will of hezbollah and the palestinian organizations to stand. we believe whether you are thinking about assassinating a hezbollah or palestinian leader, that won't solve the prob

the next thing i would like to say about these targets that hezbollah attacked is that hezbollah planned its attacks exactly based on the stages it attacked. this again shows that the israelis could not estimate well what does hezbollah want to do? the israelis keep saying that we actually issue special instructions to the cities. whenever we feel that hezbollah is attacking, we say, for example , that people should go to shelters in certain cities, or that activities should be restricted or not. if hezbollah did not attack cities at all, but hit a military base, all these targets that were stated to be military targets did not hit a city at all, and that was the policy adopted by hezbollah due to the type of reaction . which are in the north, about 11 bases which are in the north he hit them, then inshmer air defense base and then galileo at a very short distance, showing that the israelis did not have good information in the field of evaluation and assessment, so they could not succeed, and the americans , as mentioned in the report, cnn's correspondent stated that it was the united st

now, israel has sent 100 fighterjets to bomb hezbollah positions and hezbollah rockets are flying furtheresting the tripwires for all—out war. 0rgad's hotel looks out on the hills that mark the lebanese border. he thought this morning's assault was the start of a full—blown war. it's not normal times, so if a war should - come and finish it... there are no tourists, - no businessmen, no nothing. so we have to start living again. - it sounds like you want a war? if it will finish their- situation as it is now, yes. this border, bristling with weapons, could pull regional and global powers into a war — a war fuelled by the conflict in gaza that even israel and hezbollah say they don't want. lucy williamson, bbc news, nahariya. meanwhile in lebanon, hezbollah said it did not intend its missile attacks on israel to lead to a "full—scale war". the powerful militia group, which is backed by iran, said it had delayed its action in the hope that the peace talks would lead to a ceasefire in gaza. 0rla guerin reports from southern lebanon. explosions. mid—morning in southern lebanon. the very pictu

hezbollah call this attack a success.evenge for the killing of the end of july israel said at least one of its service members wasn't killed and two others have been wounded in today's attack on the north. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the country is taking all means to properly defend itself and to return civilians to the north morning this is not over. so hassan nasrallah the leader of israel just finished speaking saying there's going to be a lot of evaluation and the hours potentially days to come as to whether this strike was enough. whether that was a successful revenge despite the fact we heard from hezbollah earlier it ssaying this was the conclusion of the attacks. we'll have to see if there could potentially be more attacks to follow in the days ahead in the words we just heard. we've also been hearing fighter jets overhead in the last 30 minutes. something we have not heard throughout the day so we will continue to monitor the situation. >> great points there potentially signaling more activity
