prevent antigovernment protests. we begin the program in israel where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has warned it is quote playing with fire he's accuse the lebanese armed group of launching an infiltration attempt in the border region of shed our farms hizbollah denies that its fighters tried to penetrate the border or engage in any confrontation the united nations is origen both sides to show restraint is going out to harry for citizens of west jerusalem for a so harry there are very different accounts are in there coming from israel and hezbollah about will presumably happened or didn't happen. indeed there are in for context we have to remember the fact that israel has been awaiting some kind of response from hezbollah for a week now ever since and airstrike inside syria killed a fighter there's been

a long standing promise from hezbollah that any such event would lead to a response from lebanon against israel and so these are the military's been on a heightened state of alert along the israel lebanon border inside the golan heights as well and in the occupied golan heights and sheva farms there was this security incident as israeli military initially called it has ball of those says that it didn't do anything that this was the confusion and panic that its threats had sowed among israelis and that is what led to the fire coming from israel as far as the israelis are concerned there was an infiltration a tent of some 3 to 5 hezbollah fighters getting inside israeli controlled areas that they were traced and tracked as they prepared to do so and that they were repelled by israeli fire now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu joined his one time rival now coalition partner in defense minister benny gantz at

a briefing in tel aviv earlier in the evening and he made a pretty explicit reference to the israel lebanon war of 2006 in telling hezbollah and its leader hassan nasrallah that there would be a very stern response should there be another attack. because one of these would go up hizbollah must understand that it is playing with fire it made a big mistake when it assessed israel's determination to defend itself and lebanon paid a price i urged him not to repeat that mistake any attack against us will be met with great force. as for the details of the event itself there wasn't much from either man benny gantz talked about the severity of the potential attack and the potential loss of life that had been staved off by the professionalism and precision of the israeli military but there wasn't the video

evidence that some reporters it is really talked about in terms of trying to refute entirely the hezbollah account and harry it's pretty difficult time for both countries horrific economic crisis in lebanon israel is struggling to deal with the code crisis not what you think the prospects are of the violence continuing or potentially escalating will certainly that the motivation to deescalate a least prevent major conflict remains as it was when there was a similar incident last year in fact probably stronger because of those 2 things you're talking about the pandemic here the economic crisis north of the border last year there was a similar set of circumstances hezbollah fighters being killed inside syria a strike on an israeli military outpost and there was a israeli response artillery into mainly uninhabited areas of southern lebanon and that was all over 'd within a few hours and presumably the same kind of motivation applies now except for the

fact that in that statement hezbollah also talked about still having not avenged its brother who was killed last week inside syria and the lists should await the punishment for that crime harry foresaid with the latest on that from west jerusalem harry for the moment thank you. well then a harder a zone lebanon's border with israel she says hezbollah is blaming the israeli army for the incident but there is a cautious calm on the border for now. the lebanese armed group hezbollah has denied that it carried out any operation it is saying the incident was one sided and it is blaming what it calls an israeli an anxious israeli army so a very different narrative from what the israeli army is reporting they are saying that a group of hezbollah fighters tried to infiltrate the shebaa farms it's very hard for us to independently confirm what happened but a lebanese security source did tell us at the time that some incident some kind of incident happened whether it was an attack or an attempt to infiltrate the

recognizance mission that that source could not confirm now cautious calm prevails along the border israeli planes continue to fly over lebanese airspace you can hear israeli drones in the skies the tensions have deescalated but definitely. you know what the tense atmosphere along this border is likely to continue and hezbollah knows that if it if it sparks an all out war with israel it will cause a domestic domestic backlash it will be blamed for dragging lebanon into war at a time that politicians have really run the economy into the into the ground and and hezbollah and along with its allies now hold political power they control the government they control the parliament so right now it's that it's not in their interest really to see an all out confrontation but there is no doubt this border remains volatile especially since israel evolves to continue to keep up the

pressure on iran and groups that iran backs like hezbollah particularly in neighboring syria. spain east find to save its tourism industry after a surge in new cases and the introduction of new travel rules in the u.k. authorities in the catalonia region are considering stronger measures to stop the spread more than a 1000 new infections are reported in barcelona in just one day out of the head oh has more. spain's sunny beaches mask a worsening health crisis infection rates have soared in recent days with more than a 1000 new cases a day. 80 percent of those cases are here in the regional capital buffalo no it's feared the c.t.'s now the epicenter of a 2nd wave of coronavirus based on this being a sharp rise in cases among people who've been guttering in larger numbers the
