since the 2000. unspeakable crime on al-jazeera. israel's military says there's been a security incident along the border with lebanon we'll have the latest from both sides. hello again peter dhabi here in doha also coming up in this half hour of al-jazeera world views anger and grief on the streets of baghdad after 2 protest as a killed in a new demonstrations against corruption and high unemployment. the philippines president rodriguez to 30 defends his response to the coronavirus pandemic but critics insists he's failing plus. i'm

a senior member of the police canine school in santiago chile i'll tell you how these dogs may be able to tell you whether or not you're infected all that night. ok events moving fast on the ground we understand the breaking story coming to us out of israel and i guess lebanon as well now there in that border area the army is describing a quote security incident along its northern border with lebanon on in the sheba farms region israelis living along the border have been told to stay in doors now just a short time ago the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke to parliament about tensions in the border area. but a whole crew mccullers them on we are constantly monitoring what is happening on the northern border we maintain the policy i set out years ago we will not allow iran to establish cell phone up order lebanon and hizbollah will be responsible for any attack that comes out of lebanon against us the i.d.f.

is prepared for any scenario we work in all areas for israel's defense close to our borders and far from upwards. in a moment sell to 0 as correspondents in a harder will join us from lebanon 1st let's go live to west jerusalem and our middle east correspondent there harry force of harry of course details still sketchy what else do we know this hour we're getting a bit more information now from the israeli military than we had last time we spoke they are saying that accel of some 3 to 5 fighters tried to infiltrate the into israel into what they say is israeli territory in the occupied golan heights in the shape of farms area military area quite a long way from civilian communities perhaps part of the reason for its being targeted in this exchange they say that that attempt was thwarted by machine gun and tank fire and they have told israeli civilians to go in the border areas in the

around the roads farmers and the like to go back to normal routines so it seems that the israeli military at least is saying for now that this incident is over they're saying that there are no casualties on the israeli side we haven't had a proper word yet from the hezbollah side as to whether casualties have been sustained on their side we were in a similar situation a year ago where we're not harry where hezbollah and israel were literally firing warning shots at each other there was a period of 2 or 3 hours when everyone was holding their breath thinking ok what happens next and then they just stepped back from it. that's right and i think that is the perhaps the hope we wait to see on both sides now as well what happened a little less than a year ago was that again there was a strike inside syrian territory by israel in which hizbullah fighters were killed

in that in the response to that the hezbollah fighters targeted an israeli military outpost they fired a cornet anti-tank missile or rocket rather towards an israeli ambulance there was some subterfuge it seemed on the israeli side when they evacuated suppose it casualties they then said that there were no casualties and claimed credit for having taken the sting out of any potential further escalation through that israel said there were no casualties in that event there was that exchange and after that both sides seem to assess that enough had been done the constant refrain from analysts is that neither side is in the mood for a much wider conflict indeed there was a message along those lines emanating from hezbollah in the over the last day or so and indeed now with the 2nd wave of coronavirus pandemic here in israel with

a real economic crisis still unfolding inside lebanon again that is the assessment the question is though this casualty question has hezbollah sustained any casualties will they be able to say that they were martyrs who were killed in an otherwise worthwhile operation or could that in itself cause for the fighting to emanate we wait to find out as you're talking to us harry we're looking at the latest live shot coming to us here in doha from the border area we're seeing what looks like 2 or 3 plumes of smoke it certainly appears to be the aftermath of something we can't confirm that of course but just looking at the geography and the topography of that area. if hezbollah was seriously considering a physical incursion it doesn't look like an easy area to operates in to function in especially if you're going up against the israeli military who are generally exceptionally well trained to deal with that kind of thing well yes i

mean hezbollah and indeed it has had successes in the past against israel in that area not least through what will there be in a times to dig tunnels to infiltrate israeli territory as well but yes it is a difficult area to try to infiltrate especially given the fact that israel has been expecting publicly some kind of response a military response from hezbollah for some days now indeed on friday there was a further heightening of the alert there being reinforcements put in place batteries as well and so yes israel was very much on the lookout for the the promise to really response from hezbollah the standing promise from hassan nasrallah the leader of hezbollah is that any retaliation to the killing of hezbollah fighters would come from lebanese territory into israel and indeed the

expectation i think was that a military target such as this area shebaa farms in the occupied golan heights could well be high on the list of possible targets very many things how to force a middle east correspondent there in west jerusalem is it harder joins us live from the southern lebanese city of sidon zina crucially any word yet any comment from hezbollah. no comment yet peter what we understand. the lebanese armed group is expected to release a statement shortly lebanese security sources have been quoted by the media saying that this was an attack by hezbollah an attack that targeted in this raid it's time for a very different story that's what is emerging from from israel and harry pointing out that the israeli media and the army is also talking about the possibility of casualties on 5 hezbollah's ranks so we're still waiting for that statement to be issued but tension has really been building along this border for days now everyone

was expecting hezbollah to retaliate for the killing of its of a tiger in syria in what was believed to be an israeli air strike you mentioned what happened last year hezbollah promising to retaliate to any other lebanese hezbollah fighter killed in syria but what is interesting if indeed this was hezbollah attack or operation the choice of ship off guard this is quite significant farms is land that intersects israel syria and lebanon it is also stupid territory at least in the eyes of lebanon lebannon considers the area occupied by israel as well occupied or took control of the area 900 $67.00 it's part of the syrian golan heights and they say that it is part of the syrian golan heights for the very fact that syria and lebanon is not be more cases the border so the status of this area has been settled when you carry out an attack and disputed

territory the message is we do not want. the situation escalated further and just last night just the sight of the deputy secretary general of hezbollah was downplaying the prospect of the possibility of the of a war between the group and israel in his words a spirit does not indicate a war it. unlikely the atmosphere of war in the next few months so i know that really will tell you neither is about 2 your husband you know want an all out conflict. you know and now what we understand is a conscious calm along the border we are on the road to the border area but our colleagues are there and they're telling us back to it's called the israeli army fired a few shells into the far super hills which is basically an area which is not populated and now there's a there's a cautious call and we also understand that the un peacekeeping force along the

border is to hold in contact with both sides to try to deescalate tensions so we are waiting for the basement from the lebanese group to hear 9 their side of what exactly happened and shabab 4 o'clock hour an hour and a half ago to get the sense where you are when you're talking to a contact say now that whatever it was that took place is now over if only because on the other side of the border the israeli government and the security forces of said to israelis you don't have to say indoors now. yes this is the this is the feeling the feeling is neither side wants the conflict perry mentioned the 2nd phrase the chronic virus infections in israel the cases similar in lebanon on a surge in cases really putting a strain on the health care sector a country which is really collapsing a government which is nearly bankrupt 9 years of mismanagement and corruption run the economy and to the ground we're talking about an unemployment rate of 30

percent and has a blog post political power along with its allies it cannot afford to gain more enemies at this point 9 if it does do any acts not a escalate this all out conflict it will be blamed simply because it's fighter with killed in syria this is another country where hezbollah's involvement really has really caused a lot of opposition many politicians many parties and many communities in lebanon believe hezbollah should not be operating or getting involved in military military battlefields abroad and so we tell me i think some level on and dragging lebanon on is a war at a time of an unprecedented economic and financial crisis well beyond help 5 even among its supporters who are 'd just like the rest of the country suffering under really dire economic conditions ok zain

a we must move on to the other top stories this off but many things in the hall to beirut correspondent zain is normally in beirut she is inside and on the border with israel we move on to iraq quick process to say they are fed up with corruption unemployment and tool public services and anti-government rallies overnight in fact that of things 2 people were killed the other 1st a tennessee ziering demonstration since the prime minister most often i'll call to me was sworn into office iran has seen months of unrest as it deals with an economic crisis and political insta. realty samina fulton house the latest from baghdad. this is the funeral procession for one of the protesters who was killed in last night here in paris you know where that hundreds of tourists have gathered to . commemorate him and they're marching from the past where indirect fire. where violence took place. right and

cases of always been highly unlikely as countries eased restrictions but he says nations such as spain are well positioned to manage new outbreaks. the situation is is that we're close to what it was there before and the authorities certainly assure us that they're taking every possible measure to investigate and suppress clusters and taking localized action to suppress those new clusters of disease so i think it will take a number of days or weeks for us to to see what is the future in spain but we trust that with his open approach with the sense of the surveillance with the sustained testing and with the cooperation of people in spain that we will see these clusters come under control into course. from. president of the torah said these morning that if the outbreak or the virus outbreak is not contained in the next 10 days tougher measures will have to be put

in place here in the region of catalonia from the 20990 clusters that still active here in the region the whole region he said that some of them are as worse as back in the month of march and so if things don't get better things they will have to take action on these the number of folk or numbers crisis cases has been increasing in the last weeks we have reduced to 1000 infections spirit and 80 percent of this infection i have been taking place here in but from where we are right now so despite the regional cut the lumia has tougher measures than other regions seeing spain like the mandatory use of mass to close in pipes and. nightclubs closing down the bars on the terraces have to be closed by midnight the situation is quite worrying so we have to wait for these 10 days to see things get better spanish government is sending

a clear message for everyone to start and to regain to recover the confidence of the other countries data already took some limitations under strictures to travelers coming to a country like the united kingdom and expect a measure of the 14 days of self isolation of people travelling to spain they want to send 2 clear messages that travelling to spain is safe and that outbreak is completely contained. he was shot 16 times in an attempted assassination but survived now after 3 years in exile the opposition leader. has returned to tanzania he plans to challenge the current president john michael fully in the election shuttled for october lists who's been an outspoken critic of government corruption and his return comes as opposition leaders accuse merkel fully of stifling dissent but the biggest thing has been the untold suffering. the killings of political leaders attacks on political leaders abductions disappearances torture
