this is not just as simple as 2 more, and this is certainly not a simple solution, i guess. so hold terrace organization. and why do i say that? and i'm going to be attractive, be brief here. it's very important the circumstances to understand the importance of the role play. why do i emphasize the wrong place? because if you're comfortable play, you're either stupid or racist. and situations like that. these various have to put themselves in the 1st in the same positions as they live. it needs to be there are the $700000.00 active and under service. soldiers in is are 700000 along with their families. this is right about 34000000 people. what is the, what is, what are the say good. all of these people who 7 the hard me when they are with their families getting a communication device that they are legitimate targets of an attack. because they are the individual has one of the are the name is when they are on. so is it ok $41.00 if it has the capacity to ring the phones. oh,
8:01 pm
is there any other service and is there any soldiers from 7 digit allowed on any of the one? and as one of the assignments on support, according to is a, is an emergency? no, it is. no, it's an app disorder. when you, when you are tech, and is there any tourist that happens to be in europe with his family because he has a sent phone given to him by the government, jesus, which is me part of it, of course not. and here's the news people today and yesterday were subject to a mess. a did an attack against them, and it should be condemned. it's reckless and eventually it won't come back and bite these radius because they just expose themselves to a background of terrorism that they have been condemning for decades now. but apparently, as we you on high and best of all, correspondence from hungry, the 11 on to, to jordan and elsewhere are trying to understand the mystery behind this. clearly
8:02 pm
it is, it does have been planning it for some time now. and clearly it's a little bit of operational of terrorism, but it is an indiscriminate deliberate attack against that these individuals, some of them could be combatants, something could be function. that is, some of them could be just party members as well in that if it is government a lot more on everything, you're saying also speaks to a live event that we had moments ago. i think you saw it on our air where there was this controlled explosion because there was a device that was found to have explosives in it that was found inside an ambulance . and that was just in a, in the center of the capital, the root of houses. you were a senior political analyst, molanda shar, thank you so much for that. and we will speak to you again. it's just 2 minutes past the top of the hour. 17 g m t, and we're staying with that breaking news out of lebanon. more communication devices have exploded in several parts of the country. at least 9 people have been killed, more than 300, have been injured among them, civilians, and has been on members. the
8:03 pm
best blast that you just saw occurred during the funerals that it has blown members who died in tuesday's pedro attacks. and this was in the 7 day, a suburb of the root, lebanese media, all reporting that today's explosions happened in phones in laptops and handheld radios, solar energy systems have also reported the exploded and caught fire. 11 east army has called for the public to stay away from blast zones. as the last leadership says, the group is facing quote, a new phase and the punishment is certainly coming. our correspondents are covering this across the region. alisha is in 711 on honda, so who is in amman? jordan for the is really reaction. i know you've got news for us on the 1st bill. let's go to m. ron khan, who is outside the american hospital in the route one. can you, for viewers who are just joining us, can you um, wrap up what happened in the last hour or so?
8:04 pm
there was a control explosion behind you because i do think it speaks volumes about what's going on around the country right now. what happens as well, 2 hours ago was getting reports that a explosive device was found in an ambulance belonging to the american hospital in a route. the lebanese army engine is, will quickly, on the scene. uh they were wearing the bomb or did they weigh about really sick? how did it get? and they decided that they were going to do a controlled explosion. they did the controlled explosion in this hole in the ground here. they've been here because of construction work is going on. it was the safest place to try and do it. what they did is they placed the device and then and they use another explosive device to detonate. the fact that sound was very,
8:05 pm
very loud. like you to be because of that secondary device. they used to neutralize that 1st one thoughts. let's just repeat what i just said. this was an ambulance belonging to the american university hospital. i know it has been lost. no hezbollah operatives on board. this was discovered by medical stuff, medical stuff that the health administrator has said. did hockey lean efforts on tuesday nights to get injured people to hospitals, a 100 ambulances. but we used a 1000, a sort of a 100, a hospitals. we used a 1084 ambulances use, where i am right now. the american hospital, there are a 160 injured people that been brought in 140 of them are still in the building. now to give you the numbers of today,
8:06 pm
what they holding it is the walkie talkie attacks 9 people have been killed so far, 300 critically injured in the last few hours, we've had a lot of ambulance activity around the 3 major hospitals within the vicinity of where i am not expecting anybody to be brought to this particular hospital, but we all hearing that people have been taken to other hospitals in the center of berry. and that has been happening across level right now says 00 and con, reporting from just outside that hospital and there were thank you very much and run. let's go down the cushion ali. you're in 711 on your entire the attacks, like we saw yesterday, were not confined to the capitol. in fact, that's one of the features of this attack is how wide spread they were. why don't you tell us what you know, it, you know, in terms of what happened outside they were a thorough and just hearing now that the couple of explosions in the be call, which is that towards the north east,
8:07 pm
self 11 on those to the board. that would save you. i've had the 2 explosions where i had the i'm not sure whether they all parts of the spots in the walkie talkie, a thought all different effects. anyway, this is just part of the why the picture, the big picture which has this confrontation, this wide range range confrontation that's just escalating day off today. yeah. in far away what i yeah. we witness of these 5 witness at least 2 explosions where i was this afternoon, a call exploded on its own and then i know the exclusion and then the apartment. and i also heard of the, i know the explosion here and thought, so i please uh, 3 explosions here in this city. uh, that's well mainly, uh, by uh, a donation off for walkie talkies on different kinds of devices. we need more time maybe to understand the pre size, specifications of this set,
8:08 pm
talk whether it was limited to the walkie talkies or as it's being right now, a circulating though and different kinds of devices, laptops, solar systems, etc, etc. but it's clear that this is the 2nd wave of a wave that i also kind of put ation. that started yesterday, it started with the pages we saw more than 3000 people in jet 9 killed. and today, according to the numbers i'll click on around, was talking about them, like also kills on at least $300.00 and just so many health system of courses over over well. but the main issue right now is the conserves. what the next one after these or fox is israel trying to, a compromise has velocity. they are layers of communication one after another. so that it could go for the 3rd step later. this is the vice the question right now
8:09 pm
. and this question is being josh, by the ease is be lost by the politicians, by everyone, by everyone. ali you told us that the leader of has bloss on this rather is scheduled to speak tomorrow. what should we be expecting? it was hudson, the federal law has several challenges to face 2 more. first of all, he needs to choose to the concerns office, office supporters. we can't do it. we, we can't ignore the impact of these attacks on the into and then front. and you know that and turn those funds to something very vital and very important in such about those and such was i'm this, this will, it's, it was this guy by many, including cars law as an imposed wolf. what else has with law wants to support java,
8:10 pm
but doesn't want to go into a total of war with this right? now. things are becoming different. and the northern upfront is right, which is live in those folders southern front. but we are right now is south living on is becoming a kind of the main. busy point the main focus of this really population and this really is want to bring back the circular or the citizens back to the northern side . so this is to have some the, for all of the main concern, he would have to see what the concern concerns you would have to talk to his supporters and also to his factors in the country. because this country is not only about physical supporters that also people from different point of view is that people who are full is completely this floor. so you wouldn't have to talk to them
8:11 pm
. this is the 2nd thing we'd have to address. what's his policies next step? is he going to revenge? and if he is going to defend what about the breach inside the organization? because as we can see, okay, this is not normal. this is, this might be one of the most sophisticated security off that ations in the history of the confrontation between husband lines is to sell the house and reporting from 711 on and tire. thank you very much for that. uh they were gonna go straight to honda, so who it was with his life from the jordanian capital, i'm on because israel has from and now from 0 from importing inside israel. and we've got some news, which is, i believe, quite significant that i'm hoping you can address just over the last few minutes. we have become aware of statements made by these really defense minister you'll have to lot which you know, are until now israel had been completely silent about the attacks and 11 on what they're saying does seem to of knowledge responsibility. or at least you could
8:12 pm
infer that here's the statement. they're saying that these really they're saying, i beg your pardon, jolanda saying we have many capabilities that we have not yet activated. we plan ahead by stages and at every stage, the price paid by his blog should be high. and we are at the opening of a new phase in the war. the center of gravity is moving north. that's the quote we have right now under. so before we get into that, let's talk about a statement from nathan yahoo on video that's come out just in the last several minutes. it was one sentence. it was quite short and brief, but direct in to the point saying, quote, we will return the residents to the north safely. and that is exactly what we will do. this was around a 10 2nd video that was released quite abruptly by these really prime minister and it follow statements by his top security brass just in the last hour. these really
8:13 pm
defends administer your web galani. while speaking to troops in the north had said that we are entering a new phase of this war, that the force goal of the war that was added was quite clear. and that israel is prepared to do that. these really army chief of staff, while conducting an assessment, has said that israel has many capabilities they have not yet on we saw on his ball law, but that they are ready to do so. so this just gives you an idea of where these really head space is out. what we've been discussing over the last 24 to 48 hours is that israel is turning a new page when it comes to how they are going to be dealing with his bottle. adding this new goal to the war effort. an agenda means that they are ready to deal with the threat on their northern border quite differently. how exactly they're going to do. that's what these capabilities are. of course, the army, the prime minister, the defense apparatus, is not going to let the public know,
8:14 pm
but it just goes to show you how they are thinking. these are quite heavy statements from all 3 of the prime minister, the defense minister and the chief of these really military who are saying that israel is prepared for the next phase of this conflict. have we seen any significant troop movements is really troop movements, you know, towards their northern border with his blog. i ask you because before israel went into launch its ground offensive into gaza, they spent days massing troops, military personnel, military equipment, along the border with gaza. right, and they, it was pretty clear what they were getting ready to do. so are we seeing anything like that near israel's northern border? the short answer is yes, just in the last day you had the 98th battalion that was previously stationed near gaza. move up north, these really defense minister you loved the land, while speaking to them, had said that is their ols. prepare to move more military assets and more troops up
8:15 pm
north to prepare for whatever is next. and that just gives you an idea that israel is preparing itself. they've previously said they do not want to enter a full scale war, which has been a lot. but the rhetoric coming out in the last hour or so is shifting saying that they're ready for whatever comes next. they're ready to continuously move is really forces up north move, more tags, artillery positions, whatever it may be. and you've had comments from is really official, like the defense minister jo of the launch, who said that all of the noses of these really air force jets are currently being pointed. nor is that the type of pressure they were previously applying on his bo looks, which is a small percentage of the damage that is real, could actually do. and they're saying that they're ready for that next step thing. but the center of gravity is shifting. i mean, imagine just that statement to load after a year of the carnage and mass occurs in gaza. committed by is really forces you now have israel wanting to completely shift dears and have a war in lab be non,
8:16 pm
well that's not what they have said directly. they have so that they're prepared for whatever is next, but they're now going to be shifting position. this is a new phase for these really military and the is really government. and it all started just a couple of days ago when they added that new, more gold agenda item. meaning that they are clearly entering the new phase, the new chapter, and how they're going to be dealing with the threat on the northern border. the officer is honda. so who's reporting from amman? jordan after these statements by the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and these really defense minister you'll have to go on. thank you very much for that. let's take it uh all of this to and throw it to uh or you goldberg or it is really political commentator. you are joining us from tel aviv. so i think you heard this information that we just got in the last few minutes. number one is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying we are returning is really residents uh to the north number to the defense ministers saying we're moving into
8:17 pm
a new phase. everything we do is calculated, sorry, that's not a direct quote, but every has below is going to have to pay a high price for everything we do. we're doing it in stages and net. we're now focusing on the north. um, how do you read this it or specifically, is there any way to read this other than is real messaging that they're getting ready for a massive operation and level as i was actually sitting. so i don't read either the ministers message or. ready the defense ministers message as indicating a message. ready first of all, there's a basic rule 5. if you want to shoot, shoot, don't talk. there's always then, or is it was mounted? it's a page or a tack and letterman true. but other than that, when it comes to war and to new stages into dealing with the problem, all as 0 has done so far as talk is offered. no plans is. ready uh,
8:18 pm
is there any leadership is offered no vision. the switch to the north is understandable. there are plenty of domestic is early interest that would benefit from the switch to the north, particularly the abysmal bleeding failure that it is a that is as little as presence in gasoline. but as far as preparing for war, israel has already prepared for wars and the night it is already embarked on moore's legend on this doesn't look anything like that. okay. doesn't necessarily mean that. so the defense minister is talking about a new phase in the war. what do you think that's going to look like? or i don't know that it says that it's there before the ground operation in terms of the game. the defense ministers spoke very eloquently about 0 of your stages and how we move from one stage to the other. and so, and so for pretty much the end of that can true. this talked about calculation again, the logic here is that uh me thinks the lady does protest too much. the more the
8:19 pm
defense minister talks about calculation and strategy, the method israel actually appears to have any kind of strategic vision or a potential conflict. i would say that it is, well, at least it's military and political leadership is desperate for war because that is the only solution that sees for bringing back. so it's 100000 citizens who have been evacuated. all these early government instructions as a model before hostilities with this the law grew a war. it seems like the only solution that the truth is nobody knows what this war is going to do. nobody knows what this world wants to achieve. when u. s. senior war mongers, and the as early as ministration with this war is about single say we're going to push them back 20 years. that means nothing. a new stage means nothing. the prime minister is one sentence message, which by the way, sense
8:20 pm
a little strange and buffy between english. it's not a full sentence and it repeats clause that wasn't there in the original sentence. uh, this fall 2 way for a 2nd of all because i've, i've been, i've been told in the past to look at the difference between specifically what netanyahu says and hebrew and what he says in english. i know this is only one line, is there a difference? so there are different nuances and what he said in both language. no, no, no. there are no different nuances. it's just a very poorly constructed sentence, and they're on what does that go to your administrative enough, as it says to me, that this is all being concocted very hastily and demonstrates a general sense of despair and is rarely leadership rather than force for commitment or any kind of focus, i think is what i was saying. let's not forget that the general assemblies resolution a doctor today. let's not forget the news that germany is decided to suspend our
8:21 pm
shipments to is. so in general, things are happening and they're happening quickly. and all the prime minister has left or cliches, the defense minister, as i told you, throughout the duration of the war. and guys that has been saying exactly these things about stages and phases and planning and calculation. uh, the last year has proven him to be at the very least inaccurate and that's worse mendacious. so i wouldn't read much into it with his own wants to go to war. it goes to or it doesn't look like that, right. okay. or we goldberg is really political commentator joining us some televi this our great to talk to you. thank you very much, laurie. thank you for having me. how does the f r is a defense and intelligence research where you're joining us live from luxembourg? i'm say you were breaking down for us possibilities, right? working theories on what might have happened at the same time yesterday. fast
8:22 pm
forward 24 hours and there have been more tax. they've been widespread. they've been in multiple locations across the country. and crucially, they have involved more devices. yesterday it was pagers. today, it's a longer list. it's a walkie talkies. it's solar panel devices. it's handheld radios and i think i'm forgetting one. what does all of that tell you? it tells me that his role is been working on this for very long time, and it tells me also that israel, you might so there's a high possibility that digital didn't have the chance to do all of this. so it created a new a reality. and by the, i mean, this is a l and last february onto march. they targeted several infrastructure for manufacturers and 11. and that could replace batteries. they, they may be suspected that has been law would replace all the batteries when they,
8:23 pm
when they come in from the local market. these factors a lot better related to us, beloved, but they are in the market. it could be conserved. so actually the took them out of the market to destroyed most of these a battery factories to create the reality that they are prepared for. so because because of that, that they will know that there was no need for the has the law had their own, their own communications with the batteries that these trust and they've been working for some time. and it's very wanted to create a new reality. so they have to move the pieces off just one by one. the force has the lot to go into the black market where the supply chain has been really with could be forced companies. and. and for shipments, i've seen a lot of the posts from, from, from several june, those that the talk about the shipment. um, when to clean from the factory and on the way. and it's the,
8:24 pm
it was stanford by uh, by most of the agents. it's a small lease. it's not me, it's not the be the the the, the you don't believe that the right scenario and no, no ethics take some long time to do this. you will be exposed. we're talking about yesterday. ok, 5000 devices. um, this is a lot for you, you have to open them, change them, and you have to see them like you. this is not something that you do until few minutes unless you are within the training unless they've been training for, for, for a year to do this. but that was, that was the story when we were talking yesterday and worth of only about pages today. it's a new reality, and this is, this is what we have exchange yesterday. what, what does the proposition do you come to then you're telling us because i did speak to one and list and you know, who is looking at various sources and saying it looks like they planted explosives
8:25 pm
in a great many devices up to around 5 grams of explosives and ways that just couldn't be detected if you simply opened up the the, the device, right? you're telling us that's 2 labor intensive and so that's unlikely. so if that's unlikely, tampering with the device is movie trapping them. then how could it of work? know if it's worth it that way, but it's, it's this likely the most i did it themselves. um because that would be very awkward. so we have 50 shipment is going from uh from angry let's, let's put it down if it's going from hungry and that is a transition in the, in the middle. and it takes longer and transition of course has belong would be suspicious. and especially if the country where they transition happened, where they wouldn't be at all and roll on happens. it's not often the country has the law. of course it would be suspicious, so it's way safe for us to do it from the factory. and if you think about it in
8:26 pm
a country like 11, whether there's no electricity, um, what, what is know to live in a, just to be the most used device is in lebanon, uh, with batteries. so, you know that there is a, there is, there is a market for this, you know, that maybe you can kind of stuff to your company 5 years ago to work with this because you know that this is the reality of living on. if, if, if this one is unintelligence officer somewhere and they would do with, think of how the target, the lebanese infrastructure and the hezbollah and dyslexia, actually they would think about batteries because this is the most common device. them only been these houses. it's not stay with the country. what do you have? and it just 247, the all batteries everywhere on 11 and you have one for the so not the same way right now, but i'm really sorry to jump in, but i'm gonna have to run. i want to get this in before that before i let you go. so does that mean that as bull, i have to throw out anything that has a battery in it and even more broadly than has beloved that pretty much anyone 11
8:27 pm
on has to be looking twice at battery operated devices. i would say yes, i would definitely say yes, i know that this is the problem, i think for his beloved to do it during war time. but this is the least that they can do um, but it does not stop here because they have to go after the, the 3rd parties that they work with, they have to examine the devices. they have to trace the addition, b, o some how to do it by the forensics to know exactly how this happened. and it wasn't clear from the beginning that the, the devices would be shipped from hungry, hungry has as not as a country, but as a, as the, the, the political parties scrolling it down, especially the organ he has very good ties with the, with, with, as well so it is plausible, the, the that if it was hungry, the country of origin, i would put a lot of question marks. how does that add to our defense and intelligence richard
8:28 pm
researcher, thank you very much. thank. or the guys are now where a people have been killed in and is really attack on a school housing displaced, palestinians. in northern garza, the strength happened in their shoes. i a neighborhood of gauze of city 5 children and 2 women are among the dead. the injured have been taken to the hospital. sorry, a couple assume sent this report from barrels that are in the central part of the gulf stream of the world has sent you and is increasing 11 on the east by the ours are still on the goals a strip where the have green fleet, intensification is on east valley attacks on the new york pots of district when bank tunnel in town, a residential house has been targeted. one, palestinian at least has been killed and also any recreation since the anesthesia am april, who has been completely targeted without any food. when, according to our witnesses, now we've continued to hear from, from medical sources,
8:29 pm
that 8 palestinians have been killed, including 5 children. and 2 women in texas have left behind the great deal of destruction. wine here in the central area. the situation is getting much more delicate as well in terms of security levels. it shows that there is well repeated attacks on residential areas. 2 cities have been targeted in the past couple of hours, including as the light, as they rot refugee camp, which has witnessed a complete destruction of a residential house. one palestinian that has been confirmed too, while also by witnesses told us that there has been ongoing continuation of gunfire . exchange. we'd almost like to send the study of the patient forces in the city of the in the font cells of the parents. we went to kind of city is at least have been killed in the central areas on the rough law that have been also at killed without any sorts of a 3 warning and a very active minute to what we're so sure. because as of out just a rough dairy,
8:30 pm
but i had to sign and we're also keeping a very close eye on developments out of the united nations today, where the un general assembly has just adopted a resolution demanding that is real and what the assembly calls. it's unlawful presence in the occupied palestinian territories within 12 months. israel has denounced the un resolution as quote, cynical as 0 as christian sylvia as life from the united nations. christian, why don't you run us through the events of the day to vote and how it unfolded as well. it's actually been 2 days going on in the general assembly. so many countries wanted to speak on this issue that there were a lot of speeches before they took a vote earlier today in that so a 124 member states voted in favor of the resolution, which as you say, calls for an end to the illegal occupation of palestinian territories by
