instead of the new stuff to solve or solve somebody's capital, i think so because okay, somebody is on the pretext this is a major estimation on his phone law in order to preserve the us for the future is more probable was going to have to respond in a way, what is there not? again to stay with me, not one because i i want to talk to you a little bit more about how far this escalation could go. but we have now heard from the deputy spokesman for the us state department that on fatality he's been commenting as we were hearing earlier from she have on this recent escalation on the israel 11 and border discussions with is really and loving these counterparts. since the incident over the weekend and the united states is going to continue to support efforts to reach a diplomatic solution along the blue line that our hope is will end these terrible

attacks. and again, allow, is really in lovely citizens on both sides of the border to safely return home. that's gonna continue to remain our focus single moment as we were hearing from she had. it's all fairly vague of them i meant from us state department, but we have seen this, this line that came from these really ministry. and i wonder if you feel that this is a message for hezbollah. i'm, i'm, it's taking responsibility for the strike and they read, they've also said that there is no change to the home front. come on defensive guidelines. presumably that is referring to the terms of engagement that have the unspoken, unwritten ones that have existed so far. and they appear to have claimed responsibility for what they're saying is it is meant for you to target, despite whatever the civilian infrastructure may have been hit. so is this being read, or could this be being read as a, a message to has blog to, to respond in a, in a symmetrical fashion and try to avoid escalation here. yes, yes,

for sure. but this is again, part and parcel is there, such as over the past 7 months, really wants to define to the energies with assigned to do so that it doesn't for a solution. however, here's what it was. a power to tears is they make, it is right, the price for what is just a song today. meaning it's been trying to make it clear to these. right. is that if you, i thought somebody ask a few of the special, the things with you, i thought color. so with the bus stop shop, we go and do the same to you. that just because you are more powerful, i'm how great the air force doesn't mean that there's going to be cost. so hey, spa has been kind of and has been clear. that page will be kind of, you know, what do i need in some of the ways and that is that, or what is this not risk expanding to a more dangerous and perhaps more regional domains to be see what is cleared as

far as the follow. instead of ending the warning garza and there is a d on the table, it's a room that before that it was in the hall. and before that it wasn't title but nothing yahoo continuously obstacles in for the not to agencies 5, i agree. my gosh. i see fire garza one dot com the situation in the north with them out because he's already told me that if there's a, he's fighting guys up that one also sees the number 2. that's remind power viewers around the world that is using the fleet dikes. oh, i don't know why who or how happened on the syrian occupied territory. the garden hose occupied by his driver's license for it is likely that our sons, our children, were killed in some kind of an attack. a good time to be close by is where it says

does not slide, does not go too far because it'd be 100 percent. and then at least especially when i think that on the world that used to be tax. what's that it's occupied territory. c, 33 for launching yet another one other civilians in the new structure. so want to know we are the people find you with a good number of scenarios right here. as you say, good job here. as far as the dimensions from is on the go ahead recently, but do it symmetrically, just as we did, you know, but not be on the. we don't know. there are some things on intended consequences. the past the industry is it could have all that strategic implications. we're gonna wait to see what the likes of the some of our licensed are you gonna run into or

say we want to see what this means for how about somebody want to go. so i really want to see it because i'm just on the side side with this thing already. one attack, this is open for question. now. what we know for sure is this today, or at this point in time is far more dangerous than it was an hour ago for a big long the shower out. is there a senior political analyst there with that contribution from london? thank you, my one. well, if you're just joining us here now on alger 0, let's bring you up to date with our breaking news. at the moment there has been an explosion in beverage you are watching, latest pictures now from the southern suburbs where witnesses say, the splost happened. the southern suburbs of higher cake, which is a known stronghold of the lebanese group, has by now this explosion, we understand happened fairly close to has, will assure a council, which is the group's central decision making. will start to you as you can see that

several buildings were damaged in the attack. it was all me. it says that it targeted a senior has block kalonde up, but his fate is as yet. and, well, let's go back to our correspondence and ahold of. she joins me now on the phone from the lebanese capital buried. then when you and i last spoke, you were on your way to the southern suburbs there. and you were talking about how, how product and worried everyone was, what is the scene now in bainbridge as well, but we're still stuck in traffic and the people are, you know, trying to make their way home. there's a lot of concerns in the lebanese capital, israel claiming responsibility for this strike in has the laws heart. this is the southern suburbs of a boot. that is really military saying who the target was or who they, they wanted to target and they're saying he's a high ranking hezbollah commander fudge. cool shocker. we have no confirmation from has law. so i'm sources are saying that the assassination attempt failed. of

course, this is all still unconfirmed. 5 score is, is wanted. he's the want a non on. and he is believe to be a talk the matter and we are not talking about the commander of a field commander as well, has already killed up to 3 field commanders in the past few months. there, there are reports that he's, we're talking about 2nd in command, the senior advisor of hezbollah as the leader house on the throne, the you, we can compare him to a commanders like mad most in the able to for the dean, man who has been absent a could in recent years, but the message from israel seems to be that this is all over that this was their promise. tar. she tally ation for the rockets attack on south today. as well. blaming has been offer that the rockets attack that killed 12 civilians has the law

denying that it was responsible for this. for this rocket to talk is really media saying that, you know, the attack is over are the, is really military and their statement saying that this was a precise strikes. so in, in more than one way as well as trying to say, you know, this, this is it's, it's end here. but now the question is, how will hezbollah respond? and we'll de risk fund the response. the immediate a has the last is lots of an organization that reacts has the law isn't organization usually takes its time before carrying out a promised retaliation. so we have to wait to see what kind of a response to wait to see whether or not this assassination has been successful as the is right. the military is, is reporting. so look, the 11 east capital really,

there has been a lot of concern and recent days since is really officials have been making a lot of threats. there has been a lot of speculation. you know, what kind of response will it be? will, will it be a shock and awe campaign will as well hit the airport that have been on the infrastructure, but has the message to israel in recent days has been we will respond in kind and we will respond to any strike we will consider any strike in aggression, so hezbollah to has raised the stakes in recent days. and that's why people are, are very concerned that this could spiral out of this confrontation, which has been really large. they can find to the border area, could spiral out of control. zayna we have had, as you say, from the as riley's, they say they were, they were targeting a ministry. come on that. well, that has black come on to. so essentially minutes we target from what we're seeing are in terms of the pictures. several buildings here wed damaged, and this is also a residential neighborhood. can you describe what the southern suburbs of varies

a lake front of you is and what they represent as well? yes, the southern suburb. so they moved to the densely populated area of more than half a 1000000 people lived, and the southern suburbs have bailed some call. it has been a strong hole to him, call it as well as harsh line. the bottom line is that, you know, people live there civilians live there. yes. a lot of people who do support has belong, live in this area, has the, has some of its officers in this area. but like i mentioned a densely populated area, we still do not have any reports of casualties, civilian casualties. we don't even have confirmation on whether or not you know this, this report to the assassination attempt was, was successful. so yes, this is a densely populated neighborhood. it was repeatedly targeted by this really air force in 2006. the last major war that was thought of between has the law and

as well. and in the past, you know, has the law has made it very clear, you hit the southern suburbs of data we had tell of these, i mean that the equations have been in place and both sides. both these are long time and every who each one of them know what each other's red lines are and how they choose to respond. i mean they, they, knowing what each of these red lines is, how they make their choices on, on, on, on their response. knowing the consequences of their response. so it's clear from, from what isabel has done, and it shows the military target. so it's trying to stay within the unreturned rules of engagement, but hitting baby boot is what is different. when i mentioned the assassinations of senior commanders, field commanders and recent funds of that happened in, in, in southern lebanon. yes. away from the border, a few kilometers north, from the border outside the main battle ground. but it was, you know, in, in,

in southern another not. so still no statement from has below. some sources are saying that the assassination attempts failed. but stuff is indeed 5 dash, cor, was the target. so he is a high ranking member of this organization. as you say that this, this is a residential neighborhood alongside being a hezbollah stronghold. we know that in the lead up to what's just happened, especially since the tensions started escalating off to what happened on saturday in the occupied golden heights. that there has been broad concern about what might happen next. what kind of choices israel is going to make, what kinds of choices has, what i was going to make in that interim period, a number of flights. i understand what were canceled in and around the lebanese space. obviously those concerns will only grow. now, can you give us a sense of, of the security challenges the, for the lebanese government and, and perhaps if there's any tension between the lebanese government and has, well,

as we speak. well, we've, we've heard a number of embassies, the several countries calling on their nationals to leave the country. the latest, the, you know, statement was made by the british are for and secretary saying and british nationals must leave. now, while commercial flights are, are still available and if, if nobody could leave, they were giving instructions on what people should do. you know, they were, you know, the drums of war, you know, we were hearing the drums of war, but they were being beaten and, and, and we were at the airport yesterday and we were talking to people who were there. yes, there was a chaos for a few hours because some overnight flights were cancelled and postpone to the early hours of the morning. but the majority of the people were not the, you know, to the result mass evacuation that was no panic. a few families sold us are leaving a few days earlier than planned or worried that the airport might close. but over all we didn't get the sense that, you know, there was, there was panic. and so,

yes, ask for your other question about, you know, the lebanese state and, and has the law that was the 11 east government. the state is not directly involved in this conflict. the lebanese army is not directly involved in this conflict, but no one has the law and its allies do hold political power in this country. we've seen lebanese officials hold the hold contacts with you and officials, the back door diplomacy with american officials. and they were, they were talking about the need for, for israel, a to, to or a to exercise restraint because this could lead to a regional flare up. so you had all the warnings. so for example, iranian officials were also warning israel against widening this conflict. because because it could engulf the whole region,

hezbollah has other allies in the region who would exercise its military pressure, not just on israel, but all in. so really what, what has the line is allies have been saying in the past few days as, as we heard, stress being made by is really officials has been across the red line. we're going to make them pay dearly for this attack. we've also heard from the other side telling this way they do not expound this conflict because you will fit face military pressure for more than one side. and we all know that has the law is a much stronger force than how much they have. thousands and thousands, it can fire and launch thousands of besides a day and they can hit every corner of israel, they have that capability and then they have the capability to hit color leave. they have the capability that has the source has told us earlier today that when they released drones footage of sensitive military sites in, in the, in,

in high for example, as well. the 3rd largest city there telling us that they are ready and able to hit all these sites, whether it's an heifer, whether it's in the in the golan heights. and they even threaten at this rate. and it is warning them do not even attempt to ground invasion, even though that's below officials will tell you, they don't believe as well. it's capable of doing that. it's already bogged down in garza and, and we heard from the husband a leader just a few days ago that you know, any time that enters the country, they will destroy it. so hezbollah to is, is raise a raise the stakes. and it's clear from this was that this, this response as well is saying the message is rarely say it's now over. you know, we did what we wanted to do now. now it is all over there. we do. we're not interested in a full on war. so now we have to wait to see hezbollah has the lowest response, indeed is an a hold of the, on the ground for us and the lebanese capital buried, making away. so the scene of that strikes. thank you very much saying that well,

we can now bring in our correspondence already hush him. he also joins me on the phone from barriers. now he is in 11 on in favorites. southern sub absence are very close to the size of that explosion. ali, when we last spoke that explosion had literally taken place just moments before. what are you saying now? okay. well, uh, the best thing over the house collapsed. and of course uh we understood that uh several um civilians of buffet bies who were injured in this attack. no of the of course the speculations on the fate or fly trick or whether he was in the place. so these are, these are saying that they a targeted him, but the moment there is no confirmation from the law whether he wants the target that he wants goes on. he was injured or he wasn't dead at all. but the significance of this month, he is very instrumental in the decision making process and has been lost. he's the

probably become, i can, we can say like a commander in chief for the law. uh, a ministry on. and of course, with his right to say that it has done what it, why don't you do and retaliated, doesn't mean that the page is also another, the, the, the job to resolve that because everyone now is waiting to see how it has been, what is going to retaliate that is in all setting and she gave a lot of important points that, that lies the very rational player. so yeah, i to take into consideration how to retaliate, especially you've got this ready. so i guess it admitted treat fresh ministry colanda and over the past 10 months there was several minutes. recall on this for people who were at target because not a senior as well. i sure could, who's also known as must finish a good up at all. so here's what i would have to take into consideration all the

options. this is not the 1st time that the southern supplement has been hit during this month. so 5 in the january father had already come under the bureau chief, the deputy by the chief of her mouth was also sedated. close to doctor area parking lot. the street a lot wasn't mainly the retaliation of. busy the king of thought of finality as much as the fog you think of golf here. the student saw that they talk the very advice military base in the law. busy of uh, the move on a base of how is going to, how it says the light is going to be 38, the spots given the fact that the context is french, the, the off escalation is different. and of course, the main trigger over here is going to be out to resist the cause of the detector. this is a main issue for has been like, the main issue is what i'm that's by the way,

one of the main reasons why is this phone hasn't gone into an all out for, because that is 11 of the settings between the 2 sides. that's making calculations that's imposing a lot of calculations on decision makers, whether it has been locked or it is where ali we are hearing now from a source close to hezbollah that says that to what killed in his riley strike on the southern suburbs of beverage. so we're waiting for confirmation, but it does seem that there have been some death. we are watching some live pictures from the southern suburbs of barriers. we will leave that out with you ali . we'll come back to a little bit later for more from the scene, but let's face also beg. he joins us from southern lebanon, as you've been reporting from that southern border for some time now. and you've been telling us about the escalation intentions that we literally saw

a strike take place behind you just my minutes before we spoke a couple of hours ago. as an all you seeing essentially escalation, take place through this attempt to deterrence that we've been talking about what it's been slowly escalating here on the 7 boards of this old days. that tit for tat. but what i can tell you is, but today when we were driving through these kinds of villages, where before we, so the more people that it's on the streets shops will open. coming back to some of those kinds of villages today, this seems to be few people that have done when you speak to people. the mood has definitely changed. people have been concerned about an escalation and what that escalation will look like, of quotes as many times and villages along the leper and i've been on southern border that have been routinely hit, has been hit right. that job has been hit so many times have been hit by a strikes artillery. uh you are foster wrist. uh, but now people,

some people have been generally fearful about what comes next. is this a new stage in this conflict? now of course has been law, has it support base it has it's a has his foot sold just to say, but also it's shown in some of its capability. it hasn't been long since it has been released. strong footage over the is where the city of high for over the pointing got military installations infrastructure is reducing drone footage over the occupied golden heights. so hezbollah has always shown its capability in terms of targeting, but at least pointing out military targets inside israel and direct link israel. but if it is an escalation, it has the capability to strike. but in reality, there's always being tension. there's always involving an strikes taking place here in southern liberal. now we would have to wait and see what has been laws response

would be and how it would impact here in southern librium, because many kinds of villages have already uh, felt the kind of brunt of this conflict over the last 10 months. so as we've seen, the stripe now in the lebanese capital bay ridge, but this wasn't the only strike that took place today. can you talk us through some of the other strikes we've been seeing that along this border because the they were all the death so yes, so there was a drone strike and the, the i was of tuesday morning and bentley for a his, for the member was killed his funeral, took place today. uh, i mentioned before him was history like terry and fuss for us. that being strikes that made a note of these earlier just a long list. it's just a daily tit for touch. that takes, that takes place between his beloved and, and, and israel, and these kinds of videos like i, the shop was hit right before we went on and we was just standing the,

and we had this loved explosion and felt the shockwave and the smoke rising from either shot by the shop, for example, it has been hit more than 300 times since the start of this conflict back in october. but also hezbollah has been targeting is really positions. they said that they talked to a battalion uh on the is really side. they said it was a direct hit, the views guided me solve. they've also hit a, is there any minute she positions, but they've also always been threatening israel, that if they do launch a grand invasion, his beloved will respond and his beloved also said that they don't believe that they will be a grand evasion. and at the same time, his beloved, for example, today have said that they targeted is radiated trust that broke the signed battery over liberty, this space and they forced them to retreat. and that, that isn't the 1st time has been that have made these claims. and it still does it

unknown in terms of what capabilities his beloved has. but one thing is persistence . his belie is not the same. his beloved date was back in 2006 is more sophisticated. it has more capabilities. and as it has shown in terms of the drones which is pointing got military targets in, in israel. so again, we are waiting to see what will happen and how, uh, how it will affect the so the number on here. indeed, also bags that in larger units in southern lebanon, very close to the border for us. thank you. i said, well, we can now bring in my one. bizarre out 0 is senior political unless you joins me now. again, live from london, milan, as we hear israel say that they've targeted extensively, a military target here come on to who they say was responsible for the sas. today's attack in the occupied golden heights, sources close to hezbollah, announcing that 2 people were killed. obviously we're trying to confirm that,

but if indeed that is true, what is the calculus now for as well as they decide on their response? well, of course, the short answer is we don't know what we could expect to one or 2 potentials to not yours. one is that this fall off those funds with the same meaning. symmetrically doing to is right. what is there out just a. busy or did the, his phone and could also go. so i could be on that because it doesn't have to capacity. and the 2nd these are above decides that it's not the not forget is for this i just kind of go beyond just to be a limited detailed us, no big speeches or unless of course, the most observers will tell you that the 1st scenario is the more likely one because report this, which of say the principle that is of course, that is possible on the one hand w, spotty drive. it is actually the sense that it doesn't necessarily want to uh,

i know how yeah. but on to be destroyed by does was in the word. so it's very i was defense. nice to get on are now having said that, i think it's just a point is we have a minutes to do. uh, you know, for certain 60 seconds because we always get into the stop picking things after the day before yesterday or october 7th, be the same. is the 1st invaded limit on that. i do 7897 day. that's more than 4 to 5 years ago. and then it points on the 1980 to find the same stupid predicts presumably attempted assassination is rose invested in london was not uh, attempted a substitution by the time went by a whole lot of functions that wasn't built as it may is the one on an occupied

never going for for 3 years, and they kept all defying sort of stop level for a few years to say your $21996.00 another huge incursion into the under the name of the grapes of wrath. and again, the supervisee with guys are involved, much of something that happened on $400000.00 southern remedies, had to be displaced as refugees within the country and ended up bombing i you, i didn't have a sense of where some 100 plus people were to. why it is it was awesome. i do need to do that just for my kids. existence, meaning after the invasion of interest and has, has been acting and has literally just me ever since everybody is writing a substitute for me to another one. came me far more formidable, far more radical. just look at something. so something similar to the 1992 after

assessing initiatives for this sensor a best for somebody to the bathroom. so what has this read? one of the, some, when i say these up in the, as well as history now, did you saw far more harm lineup and you said on line a way that they're just gonna be any more. so we have a history of more than 45 years of research, occupation, inpatient. think gosh, is bombings displacement. so people can, in school counselors, a, b 102 by b and b, c, g o setting for some, 2 decades as an occupying power. all that will lead to what piece is the security look at that is all. so 45 years old is the se successfully successfully? because something like that hasn't been seen today. that's what happened just by

what we need. great intelligence. really great precision. oh, really great, very great that for us all. so i guess the power but how do you just to, to work this is situating the past 45 years. but hasn't clearly, it has failed successfully. assassinations displaced the inventions and conference bombings and getting. so congress of people as not sure it's secure. and the guy out of here is senior political analyst that without contribution from london today. thank you very much my the quote has just gone 1800 g m team uninstalled. you'd say you're watching alger 0. we are covering breaking news out of the 11 east capital bay route where these really minute trees.
