11:03 am
the injuries are either the face, especially the eyes in the hand or, and the side of the flying. and you have them and you know, the patients where the poor thing that the, the swear the results of a communication device that they had with them, that the accurate exposes on the streets. the scale of the attack is clear. hundreds language, the floor bloodied and days seeking help has below official has called is the biggest security breach and it's year long. conflict with israel has bullet has recently switched to using pages as a more secure alternative to the groups leader hudson. this roller called on his fighters to a band and smartphones appearing israel's ability to hacked at devices. the switch was meant to enhance security, but the may have created a new weakness. the attack spend multiple locations across lebanon, suggesting
11:04 am
a coordinated and sophisticated operation. while israel hasn't commented so far, this comes just hours of to reset to have stopped a has bullet attacked on a swim on tuesdays attack and loveland on the scene is a significant escalation. after months of cross border attacks by israel and has been law axis i moved out to 0. and wrong con has been following the story from the bay routine, joins us live now in ron. what's it like that? well there's a very solemn, let's say um on the streets. certainly all of a roof, a very different atmosphere. if you go down to the hospitals, the hospitals have simply been overwhelmed. the ambulance service is overnight, struggling to cope with the sheer amount of clothes that they were getting the sheer amount of people they needed to ferry to those hospitals. we also have an updated dest told those 11 people now that have been killed, that includes
11:05 am
a woman and 2 children. also what we're hearing is that a, there are a 150 people in critical condition so that so is likely to rise during the day. now we've also heard from his bullet, you read the statement just before my colleagues report that it's a very strong statement. it's very direct statement and it does problem is retribution for this big mass of attack, your own level when that will come, we don't know, but certainly hezbollah is going to try and retaliate quickly. and in a way that sends a message today as well. and what is the reaction among the white population? and ron, what is your sense of how people are feeling about the prospect of something great to escalate team between israel and has paula as well, there's always been a fear of that since all type of yates,
11:06 am
when the hezbollah joined in the will, in solar iris heat with a mass, but as below i've always been very, very clear. if there was a permanency spot, they will stop the attacks on the side of the northern side of israel. but so that's something that has sung for really quelled people. harris given them some sort of calm because everything so far has been contained on that contested border between israel and 11. this is very different. this took place. oh, over 11. i'm not just in the south where it has below is very, very strong. but it took place or level level that is incredibly concerning to people. also what's concerning is this type of attack. no one's ever seen this kind of attack before pages that were hacked and pages that people were carrying around on that poor kids. and just in every day item, so this is
11:07 am
a real consent to the people of level. thank you. and ron con, reporting from a route. and then i'll just there is home to cell who has more now on the israel silence about the attack she's reporting from amman because these right government has banned algae 0 from reporting inside israel. that there's been no word from his really officials on a series of attacks that took place in 11 on these really army chief of staff, held a security assessment shortly after the attack saying that israel is prepared for a wide variety of scenarios that they have up to that readiness to the highest possible level, but it's worth mentioning that this is not a change within is really policy when it comes to dealing with the threats on their northern border. these really army has said that there are no changes in the guidelines for homefront command. there are no new security measures that have been put into place, but that they are prepared for anything. additionally, these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu holding
11:08 am
a meeting just one day prior with his security cabinet were living on was the main focal point of his agenda, so much so that he has added a 4th goal of his war objectives. 3 of which already pertains to the war on gaza that we are nearly a year into with those stairs goal he is added is returning is released to those northern townsend settlements, which they were evacuated from when the cross border fire with his bottle of started. it's also important to mention some of the rhetoric by is really officials we've been hearing in the last several months, but they are prepared to bomb living on back to the stone age that they are prepared to turn babies into a 2nd gone so. so all the tides in israel are certainly shifting, meaning that these really are prepared to deal with his butler to deal with the threat on their northern border differently. but how they are going to do. so of course they are not letting us know. i'm just, that's what that is, is ito, i'm the only us state department, says that it did not have prior knowledge of the attack in lebanon. i can tell you
11:09 am
that the us was not involved in it. the us was not aware of this incident in advance, and at this point we're gathering information. we do want to see a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between israel and has the law. we want to see one that allows the 10s of thousands of israelis who can display from their homes and the 10s of thousands of lebanese who have been displaced from their homes to be able to return home. and that's what we are continuing to pursue. a white house correspondent, kimberly alcott has more on the us response to the pager explosions. the attack targeting has full of members in lab and non has put president biden's hopes of a god to cease fire. further out of reach the us president just one day earlier, dispatched a senior diplomat to the region he met with top is really officials after the united states has watched for many weeks. now, as the,
11:10 am
as really military has been escalating, it's war preparations for a wider war with lebanon. now, the concern being that for many, many weeks there have been a, an escalation of firing back and forth between israel and lab and on. and the fear being from the united states standpoint, but a all out war would not help israel with is goal of bringing back the 10s of thousands of is relays that are displaced. but now with the fact that this has occurred in lab and on and there has been casualties, as well as many, many that have been injured. that this is only going to make that effort for a cease fire even harder to achieve. now, in the midst of all of this, the white house says it is still gathering information. it says that it will not comment, but the state department of pentagon says that it has no knowledge of any us
11:11 am
involved split. we know the pentagon also say that the secretary of defense has in fact spoken with his is really counterpart as press the need for diplomatic solution to the conflict in the region. we also know that the secretary state and to the blinking is traveling to egypt, where he is meeting with not only egyptian mediators, but also katara, as well as, of course the united states. what we know now is that there is a re vamped proposal, one that is 6 weeks in duration, and but the united states, along with its counterparts, egypt and cuts are, is looking to put pressure on israel, as well as him off to try and get some sort of 6, we cease fire deal the goals to try and get is really captive out of the gaza in exchange for palestinian prisoners in is really jails. the hope is that this can be
11:12 am
achieved before president biden leaves. office. kimberly healthcare al jazeera, the white house. let's just take a closer look at what we know about these pages. pictures from the scene initially suggested that were made by the tie when these company called paula. but the 5 says the devices were produced by a european company, which has the right to use its branding. the pages are designed to receive and display text messages using very high frequency signals. similar to fm radio. there honda to infiltrate the mobile phones, which should reveal locations. i'm, let's say small explosives may have been installed in the devices before they would deliver tests by law. i always put to myra, have sunshine, a senior israel analyst with the international crisis group. and she says that bloss raises a logic question about israel's strategy. it seems like there are several reports that show that this was not
11:13 am
a planned premeditated tag for yesterday. it was something that israel had in the works and possibly had to use it or lose it yesterday because apparently she is. bella started to be suspicious. that's what i hear, you know, obviously don't know exactly what happened. but i think the important thing to understanding is that in this near year, long, a tit for tat escalation on the northern border of israel, of please spell that we still have no end game, no exit strategy, the residents who have been displaced. i don't think feel any closer to getting home or being more secure today after this operation. and the question that many defense officials who are well more expert than i am on this issue are asking is, what is real strategy? what, where is, is really going to go from here and that question is still not being answered today after the operation yesterday. there is no ceasefire on the horizon. there is no hostage deal on the horizon. the families of the hostages. you know, you, they're desperate. they feel like they've been forgotten. and so when you have
11:14 am
a situation where there's no end game, then you become more and more concerned with the situation with piece bella, which, you know, has the potential to really destroy much, much of lebanon, which is already in dire situation. and please bala has the ability to target many cities across israel. so the question is how, how to avoid that and without a ceasefire in gaza, it's very hard to understand how is real plans to de escalate, or some people think is real, is actually that to me a who is trying to spark a broader more there mean want inside cause or itself, is there any forces or continuing their attacks on residential areas? a family home was had to engage the cities all as a to neighborhood. rescue is a pull. the parties of 2 people out of the rubble earlier on is writing forces talk is that among residential homes in central gaza, killing 5 palestinians, a number of multi story buildings also destroyed and not attack niema. who has the
11:15 am
latest from darrow, by law. it overnight, a tax display is across garza city and 2 major neighborhoods, one at the center part of the city and the other one for the southern part of the city. very close to an area that houses the college university compounds that are known as a broad area where multiple residential homes were targeting. and both the central part of the city and the southern part reported reports of many casualties were really transferred to a nearby host facilities and across the center part of the city and throughout the lease baptist hospital. that's the only remaining health facility by the way is still operating, but as a very low composite of giving the many challenges involved, what's going on right now in gaza city and the fact that there are no medical supplies and the insufficient medical to stop at these residential homes already causing the destruction of these residential homes are really causing further
11:16 am
problems that we're pushing people for further internal enforce displacement. and as of now, we can confidently say that there isn't any single place that is saved for and already displays multiple times a ton of type of population across garza city for deposit. most people are being technically herded from one place to another, seeking filters, safety and with the ongoing attacks on homes, remaining intact homes. right. in the way right now is just not many left in time. these righty armies saying that for that soldiers were killed on tuesday during intense fighting with her mouse and rough uh in southern garza, israel says 5 of the soldiers were wounded at desk springs, the is rarely met at trees, told to $712.00 since the war started nearly a year ago. the

poles of opened and administered questionnaire. the 1st regional elections has new denny reversed the region, samuel autonomy states as in 2019, sparking widespread and a federally appointed governor as controlled the territory since then facing will be held in 3 phases with results due in the 2nd week of next month. otherwise, but to ride to camara, formed into lucky, tougher javelin kashmir to the indian cabinet committee on security. she says it's highly likely, but in the lines of opposition parties will form the next government that i think it's going to be a high turnout. and as you must have noticed in the bottom entry elections earlier this year, we saw a rec, or turn out for gem line, cuz schmidt. i also think it's going to be a very interesting election because you will have a record number of political policies and independence in the freight. um, something like 900 candidates for 90 seats. it's
11:18 am
a highly unlikely that any one body or even on the lines of full, such as the national conference congress body lines will be able to form an administration on it. so i think they would need to have a little pop knows whether there are a lot of rainbows and see is that a highly fragmented result with help the j b. but i have to say, i've seen that. so i'm likely, i don't think that going to do. i would be surprised if they get even one seat in the valley. and i doubt very much that they would do as well in jim was they did in 2014. so my expectation is that it will be an alliance of opposition in bodies that would form the next administration. even the
