11:01 pm
time in gaza? city the is 20 gmc was staying with breaking news out of lebanon. that more communication devices have exploded in several parts of the country this evening. at least 14 people have been killed and move in full 150 injured among them. civilians has bought a members the one last code during the funerals or has full of members who died in cheese days page at a time. seventies media reporting today's explosions happened in phones, laptops on hand held radios. so the energy assistance of also reportedly exploded unquote fire and lebanese army. his for the public to stay away from the law says
11:02 pm
as well as leadership says, the group is facing quote, a new phase, and that punishment is suddenly coming. as for us here from enron, con, he is outside the american hospital in beverage. at around 16, g m t, that was a controlled explosion of a explosive device that was found when an ambulance belonging to the american university hospital. this is where the explosion took place this construction going on. so this was where the lebanese army engine is decided. it would be safest to make that controlled explosion. the sound was very loud. likely because of the explosion explosive. they used to designate that particular device. now, like i said, this was found on a hospital throughout last 24 hours. we've been hearing medical stuff say we use
11:03 pm
these pages because that convenient for us there in ambulances, the walkie talkies all in the ambulance is the pages of being used by medical stuff at this american hospital. he still has people in it that came over night, some 140 people. i've been watching people talking to each other. they've been slightly joking with each other in a very dark, humorous way of looking at their phones. going. i wonder if there's an explosive in my phone, but that document and depends something new for the lebanese people. they feel that this is an incredibly scary tactic that these riley's, according to the lebanese government and his bullet are doing. and that very, very, very afraid and wrong con, how does it, they res, basket reaction now from ali has to him. he is in southern lebanon in tyre ali. and you yourself have witnessed several explosions today. took us through the days
11:04 pm
developments, and where things stand as of now, a close thoughts from watts, a security false set, the main, the most of the explosions were in walkie talkies. now there are rumors, there are reports of explosions in different devices. what's the main, the core of this attack today was walkie talkies and the sets in kind of walkie talkies. so this is just to clarify this point. and the 2nd issue is that the number of people kids to day, according to the news has ministry. 14 was more than 350 or 400 the 50 inch. this shows that the 2nd wave of the attack was the 1st wave was yesterday with the featured attack today, with this walkie talkie, a fax, it seems,
11:05 pm
the number of people killed is higher. so the number of injured is less. however, the panic is just a continuing its the situation where people thought that yesterday's episode ended on that same time today is just the day after then the day after reviews that it's not the day of explosions on we started seeing this day, we were in the funeral and then we had the sound of an explosion. we thought it's a sunday school, which is something normal he, i saw a 7 or then it appears to be a call that exploded from the inside a symbol tenuously. there was another explosion. and in an apartment just on the other side of the building where we all and then we had about the said explosion. and then we started receiving messages from different areas, from level on a what's up cruise, saying that the explosions in the feeder relating to the solving saw the involved
11:06 pm
the recently just few hours from now inside doing in about 2 years. so it seems once again, this wave of explosions covered the news. the news ad is especially in, in the saga in the sub. and before i uninstalled slipping and i guess i late now the question is, what happens next? will we see any sort of reaction from his paula to what has happened over the course of the last 2 days. we know that has something is wrong with the need of his brother is due to speak tomorrow. could we get an indication of how they will respond? what a scared that's visa, thoughts are a message to says well, this is what this really has been saying. this is a message directed to heads. what lights directive to the internal front that's supporting cause well, it's also directed to the liberties in general,
11:07 pm
but physical law is who it is really is one to send the message to directly the given the fact the tension, the situation here, the this, the, the widespread let me say escalation and come from station that is almost the war. what say nothing. all our tool at this really is all clear. they once has what? lot to be away from the board, the out on 40 kilometres. that's a to the nissan the according to the seventy's or the one you like initially security council resolution to has the law as well. once that is ready to stop the war and god, then they will stop this. what they call the support front, however is read is on linking is trying to all link the support for. busy from the warnings as the saying that there are objectives for this war now, for the past 24 hours the front, we can see the front is a kind of not busy. it used to be busy,
11:08 pm
we used to see more explosions. we used to see more rockets, we seem used to see more skirmishes. we see we used to see more is really worth more plays a striking, a targets for the past 24 hours. things out of calm, but the bit under control. what's, what's the flight is going to address to model is the new phase. that is a new phase now. and maybe the silence is the silence dot proceeds before. and this is what. busy everyone is anticipating what kind office phone is it going to be and is really full audit? is hezbollah going to retaliate with this form of it? so if that stuff, i mean i'll be very quick. this is just like a mega chess board. these readies. what able to kill the bishop, or to hit the knife of stairs that far from checking make. okay, i already have some of that for us in southern lebanon last spring and hummed us
11:09 pm
fluids. she joins us from amman, in jordan. that's of course, because these really govern his band out as they are from reporting from inside israel. and so you will covering reaction that is coming out of israel and we have had some statements from various is rarely need is which you are going to go through. but i just want to point out that so far, the israeli government has not a need accepted no denied responsibility for those attacks in 11 on. however, we have had an interesting statement video statement from the is riley prime minister, hinting towards the situation in 11 on. can you just talk us through what we've had over the course of the last few hours as well, there's been no confirmation, no denial, no comment, even on the attacks that have taken place and loving on over the last 2 days from
11:10 pm
is really official reports within is really media yesterday were indicating but nothing you all who had given a directive to his government to not speak about the events that took place and loving on to not conduct any interviews or speak about them in a general sense. but let's talk about the statements that have been coming out in the last couple of hours from these really prime minister, a brief video statement that was about 10 seconds long. with one single sentence that said quote, we will return the evacuated is released to the north, safely. we will do exactly that. so is really media is reading into this as in a little bit of a suspicious way. they're trying to figure out exactly what he meant by this video statement, but the more substantive of the statements was from these really defense minister jo. well, the launch who said that israel is entering a new phase in the war. there is a new center of gravity that is pointing north. these really army chief of staff, similarly holding a situational assessment, saying that israel has
11:11 pm
a lot of tools and weapons in its arsenal, but it hasn't yet used and is prepared to do. so. these really is have repeatedly said they do not want on all our war with lebanon, but would be prepared to fight one. and it's also interesting because in the last day these really military has moved one of its battalions up north and has also been conducting drills over the last several months, some of them the largest of their kind. and it's important to mention that just 2 days ago on monday, the prime minister had added a new objective for the war previously, all 3 of the goals related to the war on gaza. but there was a 4th objective that was added to bring is really use back to those evacuated, townsend settlements in the north. so what exactly is real plans to do next? is still unclear. ok many thanks for that home test centers that for us in amman as well. let's see if we can get a bit more analysis with david woods. he's
11:12 pm
a senior 11 on analysis with the international crisis group. he's in they roots, he joins us now live. so let's talk through these latest developments, the 2nd day of explosions in lab, and on this time uh on a much wider range of communication devices, including walkie talkies smartphones. uh, that's what we're hearing. that's what's being reported. what do you make of this 2nd wave of attack and, and how it's been carried out. so i think that we thought that we couldn't be more surprised by what happened in 11 on yesterday when a thousands of pages were forced to designate and chilled several and, and wounded around 3000 people. but for it to happen a 2nd day in a row, at this time, a different type of device was something that was incredibly surprising. there's obviously a lot of conjecture about what exactly israel is trying to achieve with these
11:13 pm
attacks. i think initial fee is went from, it could be a probably you to a much wider expansion of the war which today hasn't happened. it could also be a tactic for israel to apply pressure to hezbollah in terms of trying to force an end to the support from which one of your interview is mentioned before. even if there is not a permanency fire in gaza, which for now looks like are, might prospecting days. so i think the reaction here in living on has been one of surprise at the wide ranging nature of the attacks. and also the fact that they're very indiscriminate in terms of where these pages and walkie talkies are located. they might be owned by members of hezbollah. but there is no guarantee that the only target that will be struck when they did not use the member of his butler. and indeed several civilians have been wounded in some cases killed. so it's a really concern that time and 11 on david,
11:14 pm
let me pick you up on that point because uh yeah, that's exactly what i was gonna say. i mean, we even had a little earlier, an explosive device, having to be disabled inside an ambulance. do you think the intention that full was deliberate to make sure ordinary citizens are also impacted in this attack? and i'm not sure that without having more information about exactly what the staging ends of the attack are that we didn't necessarily speculate on that. but for sure, there was always an element of risk with this kind of operation which is targeted at the device and not at a specific person that they would be, it's not forced to turn that collateral damage. and this is a risk that the perpetrators of both of these operations were obviously willing to accept in terms of how these attacks would have impacted his brother's capabilities and their results. uh, what do you think? i think it's important to split the 2 out. so in terms of has butler's capability,
11:15 pm
there's an obvious and material impact on that. and that is that the communication system of using pages and walkie talkies, which was a plan be given that has butler moved away from using you mentioned them about funds. jew too, is rarely interference with, with that technology and gathering data from doors as also being compromised. so in an operational sense, it is no hard to imagine that this will create a massive deficiencies for israel moving forward. sorry for his spelling, moving forward in terms of planning and coordinating operations. but also i think that it creates a credibility crisis for his fellow. given that it's a vulnerability to these kinds of is riley intelligence attacks has been line bear . and this is something that the body will want to restore as soon as possible. okay, pretty good to get your analysis. david would senior 11 on analysis of the international crisis group. well,
11:16 pm
the us has remained tight lipped about what it did or did not know about the attacks in lebanon can be whole, could, has moved from the white house as well. it is being widely reported here in the us media that the us had advance notice of a 2nd attack inside leaven on national security council spokesperson, john kirby will not confirm that the united states was aware of the 2nd attack. well, he will admit that there was, in fact a phone call that took place on tuesday between the us secretary of defense, lloyd austin. and his is really calendar part you ask a lot. what he would only say is that there was a discussion that took place, but in terms of the details, he would not elaborate. there was no us involvement in either of these incidents and then i have nothing to as awareness is coming. i recognize the question,
11:17 pm
i have nothing more to ask if you're someone who owns a page or like this been blown up by the time when each company and caring company that may be concerned again. and i have nothing more to add on this confirmed what has been right by the report or the israel is responsible for this. but notably, you still won't say that. why is that? is it because that's not your assessment. where because you don't support what they're doing, it's because i don't have anything more to add on this issue. as i said, there was no us involvement. and i'm not going to go beyond that today. that one divides and ministration is say is that it is still working to avoid an escalation in the region already. we know that the bible ministration has had, is special envoy and most hochstein in the region. speaking with is really officials trying to discourage an escalation and the official line from the
11:18 pm
national security council spokesperson, john kirby, is that there is an effort to ensure that there is no further escalation. the policy of the white house is that the best way to resolve the escalation in the north of israel, as well as israel's war on garza is through diplomacy, and the united states is still committed to pursuing those outcomes. can really help it, al jazeera, the white house. let's take a look at more international reaction to choose day and now today is the tax across 11 on we've heard from the use high representative for foreign affairs, joseph burrell. he says that even if the attack seemed to have been targeted, they had heavy indiscriminate collateral damages among civilians. he goes on to say, i consider the situation extremely warring. i can only condemn these attacks that endangered the security and stability of lebanon, and increase the risk of escalation in the region. islands prime minister simon
11:19 pm
harris says, what happened in 11 on is extraordinarily concerning. what the middle east needs to see is the escalation, not escalation. let's get some reaction now from iran a we can bring it in to hit a sorry, using this system, profess at the university of ta. ronnie joins us now live from to ron. now the foreign ministry in iran, whose own investor was injured in she's days attack is accused israel of mass murder. we've also had from iran president, mr. and present position down. he's pointed his spring yet as well as allies in the west. i'll just quote to you something he said today the incident, once again show the west of nations and americans fully support crime, kennings, and blind assassinations by the zine this regime. what do you make of this kind of rhetoric? does this do think make us assume that
11:20 pm
a wide escalation in the region is now inevitable? oh, not the 1st time the lean dash is really so slow. i don't think there mastery in devising new forms of terrorism. something very clear 40. you rang inside. i bought b c these days is nothing less than a human castro be that they are best not. i think the means of mass communication to do a mass murder, which is the casting of rice causes intimidation, further jeopardize things, the ordinary citizens. but we see here is clearly all that call it a sort of our cd to or is that by in a broader context. i think it gives a very clear message to the cost reason, the region, including iran, that is really, is, are trying to back the bass or folks into a really biased spectrum, a very, very wide context which ross, the risk of
11:21 pm
a full size allows for scenario that that is not going to be for the benefit of any card for young people living in the west asia about that's all events the know that this insatiable, these are, these reviews do a stab. this battlefield is critically dangerous. and the seeing the ron a perspective of the as dangerous scenario down the road. he ran an investor is used to have buses by leads i've actually endured. but this is not the only attack of these really used against the rainy as the know that there was a very lens, the list from s as a nation. i'd be right, him go to the advisor and syria, to the attack. have you been in cost of that in syria to cyber attacks and jude as nation off is my penny onset rod. there is this long, please stop pull style of noxious behaviors by these really is that triggers say, ron, to respond. and that to that is the emphasis by the reading
11:22 pm
a supreme leaders on the retaliation that was mentioned a couple weeks ago. so why we saw was an early response, strongly rainy and not be shows messages are kind of amazing, but the know that this is not related to rich or it is. yeah, well, i was just on that point. as you say, uh, an a number you've describes a number of incidents that including the assassination of how mosley smell honey, a in st. rhonda, there was an expectation that iran, uh, would retaliates in some significant way. uh to that attack that has yet to materialize. now we have this, how much pressure on the, on the now to do something? oh, look incredibly weak to oh well, it's not a matter of pressure. now. iran is trying to practice a sort of his practice give
11:23 pm
a strategy, proficient by his problems to dis, retaliation and retaliate 3 expect to the action therefore i think or to wrong. a direct ministry, confrontation is the most on bulk of the scenario on the table, given the fact that it's such a scenario. rob as the risk of, as i told you earlier, a full size allows more scenario. this is something that is really, is, are trying to drive the rod into this is they're trying to just drive as many players as possible, including lab and on syria another time, please do this battle. so but oh no, i think you're trying to devise a, as why is retaliates reaction to the boys, pulled actual damages and to avoid this great risk of an entire. 1 let's say all out more scenario. that's why this is a small part of the story. and then the other part is that uh by the time uh,
11:24 pm
yvonne is preparing goes through tab. you actually options the r q ping is really is baiting, and that's a part of psychological operation that you're on directing again stage real docs so far. i think that's a very critically important barge advisors to okay, is, are you to get this this on this and this thing special desire for back to service fashion. okay, thank you so much for that. so head savvy assistant professor, the university of ron, still ahead on al jazeera, the united nations general assembly adults, the resolution demanding that as well ends. it's illegal occupation of the palestinian territories within the the sites get cold again in new south wales,
11:25 pm
victoria and tasmania. they as come yet from the topic and he's got a chill with it, so it would be some late. winter snow falls, victoria now it's not much. i think maybe rather more in tasmania with quite a breezes were on the attempt just by they do come up to a bite where they should be into the teams in the cold thing goes across the task when say to was easy and in west australia where it has been quite well potentially still high in mobile, bob, but in tests where i would talk about 21, which is the voice where it should be in new zealand. while the weather is creeping out through the high ground. on the north side, christ church stays in the woods. so in effect goes 17. but if you go from somebody, does a lot of snow to come into an easy was virtually bone drive. there are a few shares around the band director very possibly. but beyond that, i think know there's a go significant right, and seasonal stuff focusing on via them analysis and that will be heavy and will cost more flooding. it's hot and humid anyway in south east asia,
11:26 pm
further east. and we have another tropical spinner heading towards the coast of char, just charlotte, sorry, for shanghai. it stopped to die soon, but it will bring vast amounts of rain as the world autonomy, those strikes are those with a strong result. indonesia is where supposed to be solved by the right place for your business to get off the grid of price otherwise on. so with this strategic downstream industry on the client in your better tomorrow the the,
11:27 pm
[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching out is there a mind, a thought top stories based, alamo, communication devices have exploded in several parts of lebanon. and these 14 people have been killed, holding 450 inches long them civilians has full of members. lebanese media reporting explosions happened and found how, where years phones and laptops. now the united nations general assembly is adopted a resolution demanding that israel ends what the assembly calls. it's on no full presence in the occupied palestinian territory within 12 months. let's go to kristen salumi, she's live for us at the united stations. so christian focused through what exactly we've heard from the un today and,
11:28 pm
and how much it really messes as well. 124 member states voted in favor of this resolution that was submitted by the palestinians themselves. uh, the palestinians have described it as building on the decision of the international court of justice, which called israel's ongoing occupation illegal. it's a pretty substantial majority of member states about 2 thirds of them, especially considering its such a detailed resolution. it outlines many steps, demands that israel withdraws its troops and settlers within 12 months. it also calls on member states to essentially boycott, divest and sanction those who continue to support israel's ongoing occupation. so i should also point out that 14 member states voted against the resolution that includes the united states and israel itself as well as countries like checkups,
11:29 pm
the voc. yeah. and the and hungry. the check for public and hungry and $43.00 countries abstain. but what i found really interesting is that many of the countries of abstained said that they agree with the i c, j ruling, that there is an illegal occupation continuing. but said that the resolution goes too far, that it would not help bring the parties that need to come to the table and negotiate together to do just that. countries like canada in the united kingdom are among those who abstain. so you asked, what does this mean? how important is it at the end of the day? it's a non binding resolution. there's no force of law behind it. it's really showing the weight of world opinion, however, and that there is a lot of support for palestinian independence and a lot of concern about the ongoing violence and on the time to bring the parties
11:30 pm
closer together. okay, thank you for that christmas leave me up to you and that's a sense of goals. and now where a people have been killed in an is riley attack on a school housing displays. palestinians in northern garza destroyed happen in the exchange and neighborhood, kansas city 5 children and 2 women among the dead. the injured have been taken out of a hospital. tarika zoom sentenced. this update from darrow by warehouse pension is increasing. 11 on these by the always are still on the goals a strip where they have reading the complete intensification zone is valley attacks on the you know, the parts of the district when by tunnel in town, a residential house has been targeted. one palestinian at least has been killed and also any recreation since anesthesia and april who has been completely targeted
