shown magazine members today. however, uses id assess it is from the ongoing genocide on the why that against that part of seeing young people an occupational palistine young to the, to these if you go strike and see the a living on, on the attack on, you don't get from a technician and see the color of the assassination of for the stands for my time. we said, and the political reason of how much thing to hold on give us today is i use a lance less commitment is the, is the blazing, the lesion until the tending to national piece of security as the president to get happy to have you as long as you have such as a gas that people often have known must be the cold night is not just as an attack on loving on, but as a to that peace and security across division. we must ask other says, how much longer we'd be the international community, a low such atrocious crime to go and check for decades is why it has
12:04 am

12:05 am
a. launching of any international offense to hold is like this policy that has created an environment of impunity. international come into must not be told the rule of the vista in countries in particular the united states and you to play in enabling cause vice aggressions, these heinous crimes. once again shown that is why the, the issue has no intention of getting to international norms or the so called ceasefire negotiations. frequently the friends by the united states in this call see as being near the solution international community in particular, they just call. she has a duty to come for confront not only that potatoes of such crimes, but also don't provide them with the means and political and calling to comment them. of the phases of this body to hold is very comfortable,
12:06 am
has only emboldened the regime, allowing it to continue, always aggressive on laws with behavior. they stomachs, you probably because you understand fight only with the government. and the people often have been on. and we've been lots of list onto those responsible for these atrocities, or has a come to the, to the effect of the commitment to upholding the principles of international law and the shots of the united nation. how, although it is incumbent upon this call seems to ask to stand up for justice for peace and the protection of nelson syrians. conclusion, mister president, i got the quote unquote, i categorically reject it based based accusation made by the present take the what we started division against my country. the representative of this tony sledging lead, but not for this prime minister who is on the last one. and by the international
12:07 am
criminal court, for the commission of war against in gets the cause it's found clearly lies, lies, and this information evaluated responsibility and perceive blame onto others. the very foundation of decision is rooted in regulation, occupation total and genocide. so nobody will take seriously these on funded career . thank if this i think that i present the dates of the slide political feet on for the statement i gave different or to the present to, to talk to us here in public. she passed through the east. okay. is that just gone past 21, g m t at the united nations security council is just wrapping up an emergency meeting on the recent attacks that have been taking place in 11 on over the last few days, including the explosions of the communication devices and which has been a, has been blaming as well at the start of the meeting,
12:08 am
we heard from the united nations human rights chief volk attack. he said that the simultaneous targeting of thousands of people, without the knowledge of who was in possession of the devices, as well as the location and the surroundings, all those devices at the time violated international human rights flow. we also had from algeria the united states, china, united kingdom and the last speaker, that was the stomach republic of iran. let's discuss in detail with mohammed a last res media studies professor at the doha institute for graduate studies. and uh, mohammed you've been listening and to that session from the united nations security council of the course of the last 2 hours on the one hand a, i think we could say that there was, there were very little surprises in terms of what we had from the various members,
12:09 am
let's pick up on iran because that was the last member that we had from interesting how up it's west nursing over the course of the attacks that took place for the last few days. and it runs a representative in lab and on a ended up being hut in the attack on one of those devices. uh and the un member that took thing about that and how that they have been impacted by this attack. what did you think about what he had to say in regards and in response to what israel said earlier? i thought it was really interesting. uh you know what he said, but also what he didn't say because there was an opportunity there, particularly following the is really speaker to be the defiant, to be threatening and, and to speak, and are in a, in a sort of a violent tone. but he was actually speaking in,
12:10 am
in the language of accountability and international law he's talking about holding is real to account. he's mentioning various violations of international law and international humanitarian law. he's talking about the targeting of civilians. he's talking about the threat to international peace and he's talking about the culture or environment now of, of in, in community for israel. and he says that the us and the u. k. are enabling that. right? so um, i think that that was an interesting choice because iran could have said some of what they've been saying in other public discourse, which is that we are going to respond to israel. remember, they still have not responded, certainly not in a meaningful way to the assassination of the smart and the in iran and iran promised a forceful response uh to that. so i thought that was interesting. and i thought
12:11 am
the were really interesting remarks made by uh, by israel, by loving on and russia as well, or these last 3 or half hour or 45 minutes. yeah, let, let's talk about the united states because we, we heard from the united states we had from robot would the us deputy envoy to the united nations a making very clear once again the us is position when it comes to is role that they will stand behind as well, no matter what a and a pointing the finger clearly at his bullet here when it comes to you know, to the indiscriminate nature of this attack, saying well, it's has bonded to to blame it, says paula who is hiding behind civilians. yeah, the u. s has a, has a very limited playbook. when it comes to talking about israel, they just have 3 or 4 plays and they draw from them repeatedly and in all kinds of contracts. so he's talking about, of course, you know,
12:12 am
of the aggression of how madison has the law. i talked about october 7th and the actions of his boss since then you would never know that if you're listening to robert ford, you would never know that israel's, and a lee we occupying a forest, you would never know that they were carrying out genocide. you would never know about the worse than apartheid conditions in the, in the west bank and so on and so forth. so it was very one sided discourse by robert wood. and, and, and he thought it was interesting that, that he mentioned a diplomatic solution. right? but he didn't mention that the us has vetoed multiple ceasefire resolutions at the united nations. we would have had a cease fire in gaza many months ago had us not vetoed multiple serious ceasefire resolutions. the us did put forth ultimately they watered down very problematic ceasefire resolution without any teeth to wear it that would have given israel and out after 6 weeks,
12:13 am
they did propose that they did. they are in favor of that officially. but israel has never gotten on board with that. so all of that context is lacking from woods discourse. but as you mentioned, it's not surprising are the us as a limit to play bucks, they're going to support their ally is real no matter what. okay, really good to get your perspective mohammad last rate media studies, profess of the don't mind streets of graduate studies. now let's, so just remind ourselves now of the day is developments in the lebanese capital bay routes we had earlier today is writing this solves hit 2 buildings in a southern sub, in the capital city. at least 40 and people were killed in the attack. more than 60 others were injured, and israel said that it killed a senior compound of hezbollah. well, we can now confirm. we are getting confirmation from his bullet that says that told me that she come on to abraham a keel has indeed been killed by israel in that attack. let's get to
12:14 am
the very latest from homes. i'm a homage scramble to find survivors of the 3 districts. he buildings, it probably was a decent area of the hoot. several people were killed and dozens injured. people rushed to hospital stability, but i just give them. i've looked at my brother's family and sisters about altogether in this situation. so that's my job. that's what i want to do. the nice government accused is right. of the type of thing up of related visitation. edu is there is some really cute, one of as been less, most senior leaders. you bring up as black as not confirmed these that the under the seat is right, is trying to do, but the was attention away from the dyer, meditating situation in god's been you. i mean, it didn't, you know, these really prime minister is trying to shift the attention completely away from
12:15 am
happening in palestine and gaza and the west bank. and then same to the what now i'm concentrating on that and on. and this is my next will mean why his blood has lunch hundreds of broken into northern. is that right with no catch, it gets reported. the situation has been escalated in recent days. flu is right. is coordinated attacks on communication devices which left doesn't that i'm thousands of civilians and has been a member of speech at the u. n. s. court on both sides to be escalate after 11 months of daily selling and these days very heavy. and the potential for the wider conflict is really around the corner, and no one can afford it. wire conflict at the moment. but it'd be attacked by the warning sites, the egypt responding in a way to conflict hymns and i just need oh okay,
12:16 am
i am going to return back to you will have it on us or yeah, uh, we promise we, i'm gonna let you go at some point today um from the doe hans to for graduate studies. i want to ask you about this confirmation that we, i'm guessing now from hezbollah. at this riley's had said that this was the case earlier, but we haven't had confirmation till now. so it has bought a saying that that top ministry come on to abraham keel, has indeed been killed in that is rarely strike that took place a few hours ago now and that some of the sub in be roots. now what more do we know about it for a nikiya? what more can you tell us about him? because he's a senior canada and quite he had quite a key responsibility to within his paula what kind of impact is this going to happen? to exact cables and what does that last going to mean? she's an important figure for sure. so thought to be the number, the number 2 behind us and uh, and also a lot military commander. and in some ways difficult to replace. but the way people
12:17 am
are structured, they are going to be able to move someone else into, into that role. so i don't think as, as other people who are more security studies experts than i am certainly have been saying all night this is not going to affect his beloved sort of military strategy in any in any significant way. i think we have to remember his blog is committed to helping high mass on that on that front. they're not going to stop attack their attacks on israel unless the war on gaza stops. that's number one. number 2, it's a very deep fighting force. estimates suggest that there are at least $40000.00 fighting members between a full time the fighters and reserve us. some estimates are actually much higher than that. and they have much more sophisticated weaponry now. and they did have in 2006, right. they have long range and long range missiles that can target anywhere inside israel. so there are significant threat, much more of us threaten then. then come us even is and in gaza. so i think this is
12:18 am
a blow is uh, has belie, suffered several blows just this week, but i don't think so. any of these individual acts are going to weaken, has been lost so much so that and you know it paralyzes them or, or inhibits their movement in any serious way. okay, appreciate your time. well, how much mastery media studies progressive, the doha institute for graduate studies. let's go straight to home to salut, who is live from the jordanian capital. a mon just reminded us because he's writing government has find out is eric from the forcing within israel. so i want to stay on this point. confirmation now hemmed up from his paula. that abraham keel has indeed been killed in the is riley strike. just remind us again uh, what we know about a brand, a keel and, and what we had from the is riley's idea about what they had achieved in this
12:19 am
attack. the whole according to be, is really is this was a top target for them saying that he was essentially the number 2. it's a house on no said all law someone know who israel accuses of orchestrating a bunch of attacks and also being the architect of what they said. a plan was called quote, occupied the galley saying that he was planning some sort of october 7th style attack on israel's northern border, which is why he was the target. now of course, israel had released this information but did not provide any evidence to back that up and we do have to stress that it's also important to note that anonymous officials who have been speaking to is really media as well as is really army radio . have said that beta was previously a red line, but that is no longer the case as they have entered a new phase of this war. and you'll recall that earlier in the week,
12:20 am
these really prime minister put a lot of emphasis on essentially switching gears to combating the issue on israel's northern border outlining a new agenda item saying that returning evacuated is rarely as to those northern townsend settlements was now a top priority when we heard permits in yahoo earlier today, he said the goal is clear and israel's actions speak for themselves. you know, i've gone singling out of this air strike thing going out to be bossy, a suburb of beta, saying that wherever israel's enemies are, israel will reach them saying additionally that this series of military type events, these airstrikes are going to continue until israel's 4th goal. of the war is achieved, it's worth mentioning that the other 3 goals of the war related to gaza, not a single one has been achieved. there hasn't been these military achievements that these really army and government often boast about. the reality is that there have been none, and now there's been
12:21 am
a lot of complaints from is really is who live in the north that the situation is spiraling out of control. and that these really government, an army of lights have absolutely no plans with how to deal with it. and that's because these really military is so far overstretched a year into the war on gaza a year into intensified rates in the occupied west bank. and that way, year into the cross border fire, which is butler. these really are me says that it's prepared for whatever the chief of staff of the military says. that there are a lot of capabilities that they still have to use against his beloved. and that they are prepared to do so there's a lot israel says, but his beloved is not prepared for when it comes to his really weapons capabilities. and look, we saw some of those earlier in the week with these device explosions over the course of 2 consecutive days. something that was carefully calculated according to as really, experts for years. so there are a lot of moving parts here, but ultimately, according to these really army and politicians a like they're in
12:22 am
a new phase of the war and nothing is off limits. okay, thank you for that. honda civic that for us in amman, let's go straight to the bay roots now we can speak to dosa jabari who is out the scene of that attack that took place earlier today in southern favorites. so 1st thing i want to ask you about what we're hearing now from his bullet about the, the confirmation from him. that's a, well, the line that we're getting now is his bullet saying one of his great leaders. ibrahim i q killed by, is rarely fire. that's just coming through in the last few minutes. so please someone very important to has paula. what do you know about him? what can you tell us? a well at abraham a keel is a name. most ordinary lebanese, don't know and recognize. that's because he was very much a shadowy figure within the hezbollah organization. he joined the group in the
12:23 am
early ninety's at the beginning and he rose up in the ranks very quickly. he was 61 years old and according to the information that we have and he was wanted by the united states government, there was a 7000000 dollar reward of bounty on his head for his role in the us embassy bombing, and very rude to 1983 that killed a 63 people as well as the us marine corp barracks attack that killed 241 u. s. military personnel in then they wrote in 1983. so as she is somebody who has had a very long history and within the has will organization. but again, this is not a household name here. he is not a well known figure publicly within the organization. and when it comes to what his role was, he was very much kept in the shadows based on what we know so far. but the
12:24 am
statements was very brief from has the law saying that he has been martyred and that his basically fulfilled his duties. what comes next is the big question. how will hezbollah avenge his desk? what will come in terms of a response from the resistance group at that is how's the law now? uh we are waiting for that response. we're waiting for any kind of further statements from the group, but this confirmation of his death really confirms that this is going to be another very serious escalation in this ongoing conflict between as well on israel. that is now at almost a r y years since it began on october 8th, after israel launched its war on bows out. we of left da here where the strike happened. and there was a lot of security and also a lot of rescue search and rescue personnel that continued to come through what is
12:25 am
left of at this site. so the building 7 story building was brought down by the strikes that is there a collier at carried out. and according to our colleagues who were, who saw the actual scene where the strike happened. there was also a parking, a structure that was also targeted that was shared by the buildings that surround this as a building that was hits. and it is a, according to security sources who have tools out 0. there was a meeting that took place in this structure and, and this, that was, that is why this kind of parking compound was also targeted by israel. now, this is certainly going to be seen as a major escalation by israel, and the how has, we'll, our response will be t as to what will happen, not only in love at all, but also in this costs like that is there is fear that it will spread across the
12:26 am
region in the middle east. we have also already heard from it the radian embassy in 11 on conducting this attack and saying that the lack of basically regard for civilian life by israel is unacceptable. and the lebanese, a caretaker prime minister also says that is clear, israel does not value civilian life, as is indicated by this attack. at least 14 people have been killed. now we know one of them is one of the highest ranking has will, uh, commanders, abraham, a kiddo who is in cho was in charge of the special operations units of hezbollah and the others that have lost their lives. we don't have any information about their identities yet, but according to security sources tell they all just there are that there was a high level meeting taking place, which means there were other high ranking officials presents now whether or not. and they have also been killed that is unclear at the moment. what we do know is
12:27 am
that has the law has confirmed 61 year olds. abraham keel has been killed by it is riley, or striking on a residential building in the heart of da here, which is one of the most densely populated areas in lebanon. and uh, we spoke to many people who were trying to get to their homes. that was a block, they were blocked off because of this search and rescue operation that is still ongoing. and they were just in a state of shock. i saw one woman sitting on the ground just looking at towards her house, which is across from where the building that was hits. and she just had tears in her eyes and she couldn't speak. it was clear are the emotions that people were feeling at shock. and anger and fear is what we could see on the streets in da here near where the strike happens. thank you for that dosa jabari the for us in a pay route. now let's return to the united nations emergency missing,
12:28 am
which wrapped up just a short while ago, lebanon's foreign minister telling the un session that well why security had been compromised by the attack this week to let me out. how does the man no one in the world is safe any more? any off them off as the electronic attacks, which are carried out recently in lebanon? those unfathomable attacks have led to the injuring of thousands of innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. the responsibility of the security council is not only to was the innocent lebanese who were targeted unjustly, but also to humanity as a whole. if the terrorist attack is not condemned by your counsel, and if you do not name the perpetrator, if you do not the tub, the tray to condemn it and compile it to stop the credibility of this counsel an international law and human rights law, or is that you do not see, let's go to the question, slay me at the you, when in new york christian,
12:29 am
a very impassioned speech that by the lebanese foreign minister, talking about the devastation of the, is ready, a tax on the lebanese people over the course of the last few days, the injuries he describes with them who are effect people losing that eyes, their limbs, and so on, and the impact it's had on the, on the, on the medical facilities on the emergency cab. uh, but we also have from a number of all the countries can you talk us through the highlights of that you and security council session? so the highlight in the common thread is the fact that this constitutes a violation of international law. we heard from the human rights to folk or turk, who said that he was appalled by this new development in warfare, and was very concerned about the precedents that he said. there is a grounds in international law. there's
12:30 am
a theory of this indiscriminate attacks. so international law does not allow for indiscriminate attacks in war where civilians could be heard. and that is what he was focused on. it said that it's a war crime to spark terror amongst a civilian population. so, and he went on to call, it did a threat to international peace and security. and i think that's relevant because we are at the security council at the united nations in the domain of the security council is threats to international peace and security. and he's saying that this is what is at stake here in level not really picked up on that seem calling on the security council to make a statement to call out the perpetrators of this attack and to condemn the
12:31 am
attack itself. now in order to do that, of course the council would have to agree on doing so. we've heard in the past the united states call out has bola for its role in this attack. but they did not claim to have any knowledge of the attack before hand israel spoke. and the council meeting did not take responsibility for the attacks on these communication devices across lab and on, but said that it would do whatever it had to to defend itself. so again, the focus here from lab and on, on the security council from the human rights chief and the security council, the violations of international law and the dangerous precedent. it sets as well as the danger of escalating the situation and in an attempt to contain that danger and de escalate. some are calling for action from the security council. the big question of course, will be us,
12:32 am
go along with any security council actions so far they have not shown any inclination to do so. in fact, they blocked action of a security council saying that it would only be counter productive to bringing peace and a ceasefire to the middle east. ok, thank you for the christmas leave me the at the u. n. in new york. now us president joe bought in has also reacted to friday's. is riley strike on bay roots, chaper tons. he has moved on those comments from washington. a job. i didn't convene his 1st cabinet amazing in 11 months. and as is customary, the press were allowed in at the beginning to ask a few questions. and the present was all about the late just as early a tax. and the chances of a goal is to cease fire fiber. so it's not realistic. minimize only the lot of things don't look realistic until we get it done. we have to keep. and joe biden spoke, spouse and drum. coby was off point blank. did the us have advanced knowledge of
12:33 am
the latest is riley attacks? he said he was not aware of any pre notification of the strikes. he was asked whether any us intelligence had been used to the latest is riley attacks. he said there was no u. s. involvement. he was also ask is the us concerns about the latest is really strikes? he said he had no comments specifically, but did to generally about how the us was trying to avoid any further regional escalation. so once again, we have the passing of cognitive dissonance, the u. s. s. family, but it was no escalation is ro escalates, and then there is no comment from the us. even though it's clear that the only way that israel time escalate is through us diplomatic cover. and us weaponry she ever times, the alger 0 washington. okay, let's take a closer look at the hezbollah calanda, who's been killed in that attack today in southern bay roots. abraham
12:34 am
keel was also known as testing. he was one of his but a senior ministry latency subbed on the jihad council. it's highest mid it treat body care was involved in 2 major attacks back in 1983, a bomb attack on the u. s. embassy and they roots, which killed 63 people. and then later that year, 241 american personnel were killed when the barracks of the us marine corps. it was bombed in the lebanese capital. k also directed the taking of american and german hostages in lab, and on it was designate that a global terrorist by the united states in 2019 now, in april of 2023, the united states announce a reward of up to $7000000.00 for information needing to his identification arrest or conviction, the u. s. government froze all of his assets and prohibits had any transactions
12:35 am
with him. now attempts to track down with the pages that exploded in 11 on came from continuing across well, but leads drawing and investigations as far as taiwan. well, gary, no way, but much of the attention has been on hungry. i said frank reports from the capital budapest, the 6 loading page. the trail started and tie one with gold depaula a page you manufacturer. but they were quick to deny any involvement which inevitable phases of past 3 years ago, diploma established a long term private label authorization, with his agency called back, allowing them to use our trademark regional sales company provided labeled offers ation to them. this is not a product of apollo, it's a product i authorized vendor to use up and trademark and hungry back consulting only has made but no factory. for this,
12:36 am
the owner of the company didn't respond to our attempt to contact to the company website has been taken down, but can still be viewed through internet talk. i think it says it's we have some projects including jewelry, making an mushroom drawing in argentina. unlike professional profile describes her as advising the international atomic energy agency and unesco. like one of the registered addresses for christie on a neighbor told the tara hadn't seen her for 3 years, and the apartment was registered to her mother who lives in a t k. we now know she lives in an apartment in the building behind me. a neighbor told us that she's lived here for at least a year. and he saw her for the last time a few days ago. but she has not been seen since. her mother has told you and the daughter is now under the protection of who gave the secret services. they also report that the company in bulgaria was working with that, consulting its owner isn't a region citizen and has not responded to our attempts to contact the company. he works for an as low as toes as a 0. then the region please investigating both the gary and bulgarian government
12:37 am
say no pages were manufactured all passed on to their countries. but that does seem to be a transfer of 1600000 euros to hungry from bulgaria, according to bulgarian authorities. they're also not reports that the representative of consulting in austria was in contact with gold depaulo, the ceo and an employee of gold. apollo, have now been questioned by the time when use prosecute to so, but this still no smoking gun. since the pages exploded across the brown and pots of syria, we're still don't know who manufacture them. whether we're manufactured or hasn't made their way into level. what we do have are a few possible trails the think across europe, with leading to more questions, sentences. i started vague. i just the budapest hungry. okay, joining us on the phone now is ali hashem. he is in tyre in southern lebanon. and ali, i want to talk to you a bit more about a, this has bought a command that we now have confirmation has been killed abraham,
12:38 am
a q. what more can you tell us about him and what is the significance to, has bought a of him being killed as well as brian lafayette, who is known as john called there is one of the main commander of maine, but it should come under the law with a years of 6 years and he was subject to several situation at the slide. these are in the document be in the ninety's. yeah, not a big role playing and those incredible laws got abilities that come out under what am i me? yeah, most of the day and during the ninety's on jacob on 2000, of course, doing this for a he had a very senior that position and i am following beginning of for i check on the report stuff. she became meeting 9 overlooking the military operations. no,
12:39 am
excuse me to his last just of to the can a go for a trick or push, which is the both of them are members of the did you have the telephone, which is the main ministry council in the organization and the dot news lots for the organization that we are looking at cuz it was said containing this confrontation, but with the killing of such a senior commander, it would be forced before the looking it towards all the names within this direct to get forward to being forward. and of course, the fall of them might be with less experience, some of that was like how the same experience spot it would need. 1 to recover, given the fact that whenever someone kids in charge, especially when someone like i'm the father of the in the physical
12:40 am
mind that it was that came to brain my feet. i had all these years of experience and on the funding of the today understanding of the fight, the standing of the all kind of it with links and tools used. and the strategies the organization has been putting especially in the consultation with this. right. and so of course has the law knows this, that he was and this is the 2nd. as i said, the 2nd that the senior combined what, what they call things, typical commander who will not call them or she has the commander who the audit. i see sedated by his rose. this is by the way, the 1st time this number of combined, the senior commander is killed in one war. if we go back to 2006, 4, there were no combined goods in the slot to look at. despite the fact the water was much what fits said one, but it has a depth would be who's on the area. but in this situation, it's becoming a lot of
12:41 am
a cushion that's already going to is ready for the also for her lot. but at the same time, with the challenges now in front of the organization, to try to go to the level up needs to try to contain the situation. and then start once again with the for lee and you name, who could be from the, from the experience to the left to whoever, whoever does that from the experience squandered that what this will take time. however, given the experiences and the 5 c, c has the lock open quickly. so after fly chicken, we saw them, other designation of font, you go with that and by the end of july we saw them grouping quickly on the uh, the gave me the, the initiative. no, we don't know here with the can in go for that. i my feet especially that was all
12:42 am
alone, but also with several, all the senior officer within the lawn force, which is the has the log special forces. it's known to be the at each force and the organization is the, is it why it was indeed in a fight thing and rather than city, i talk also in the 11 on the south. so, and it's of course, the, one of the main objective to dismantle this, this briggs, that's the one force. what are these 2? um, its a way around 40 kilometres from the board is according to what this rate is saying right at the end of the day just it just didn't just to get in the i mean the killing of every my keel and, and possibly all the senior commanders who with him during that meeting that was taking place today when the attack took place. this of course comes off to the events of the last few days where his board is communications devices. well,
12:43 am
here's a compromise. they lost all the members of the group in, in those 2 previous attacks over the course of the week. do you have a sense to tool i of, of how badly has bullet is it has been impacted as an organization by the events of the last few days. are they reading from, from what is what has happened as well? let's taking the configuration that this is a multi faceted, multi layer, and very complicated confrontation. so it comes on demetri layer, on the espionage and, and the security layer, psychological warfare, and also take a look, taking a lot. you can layer, so all these data are being used by his reading this war against hands with last. this also give us an indication on watch this front is on one side, important to israel and the same time sensitive to this with you. so for from the
12:44 am
last, there is the main issue here. of course, there is a problem with the tennis. as the law has been for the past 17 years stressing that they were able to impose a detailed and somebody is really good balance. at least on the, on both sides of the board was doing this for it was key and that this, the parents was compromised. and to some extent, the big question marks with respect to the security oper office within the organization, given the fact that they've been said the beach is very big beaches, especially the one that happened in the past couple of days on tuesday and wednesday of this week, and of course, beginning golf. oh, i brought him off. he was also popped up with a security beach already called compromise for what i'm beginning. go for chick on . also shortly showed that this really had a long time and also had an uh you can see everywhere. so these are challenges that
12:45 am
the law is dealing with. and the other issue issues related to the idea of why being able to deal with it is really a trip, as we call it. now, there are, there is a very big question mark over on how has the law wants to be? it is especially that it's clear as well, doesn't want to go to war it's, it's keeping this cold foundation within the feelings of guys a, a support fund quite isn't according a piece with us or to watch we are seeing is trying to druck has lot into why the consultation was that is what is interested in the why the competition that something else is that might be taken advantage of as well, lots reluctant to get into work. and that's why that also raising the stake. hey, thing on the on honda,
12:46 am
this is the 3rd time that is what is his he inside be southern sullivan because the equation was if it's really it's the solving problem because the lot is going to be telling me this is what the leadership said. but since the beginning of this war, this equation didn't arise any more. i'm, we on seems like you know, something to outcome. it's actually much more dangerous there. what kind of food is that? the game we were witnessing how these rules of the game, where it being updated day after day from the beginning of the war on the 8th of october till this moment. but it seems now that these rules are vanishing, the vanishing gradually, and the way that no one knows what all good i'd like the more to. okay, i la for now. good to speak to audi hashem, that for us in tire in southern lebanon. let's bring in a benjamin freedman. he's a policy director at defense priorities. he joins us live from washington dc. and i
12:47 am
want to pick up a benjamin on the same conversation i was having with our correspondent audi the a. to what extent do you think, how badly do you think his bullet is feeding at this point? i mean, do you think they are in a position to quickly would cover and retaliate somehow because they have indeed lost a lot of face over the course of the last few days? or do you think they've taken a real blog as well? i think the, they've taken a real blow to their morale. and, you know, obviously they're going to be worried about their communication systems. how do you have them literally block in their hands or bags? by that being said, i don't think this is a long lasting blow against his beloved. in some ways, i think these are tacitly assassinating leaders of this blog will tend to reinvigorate their organization to an extent they need that you know,
12:48 am
their motivation or race on the extra in large part is opposition to israel. and they, you know, are organized around the idea of exciting israel so, and as your corresponding alluded to, you know, do this gentleman who was assassinated, had been a subject of past assassination. the tabs. so i don't know there's really to the rules of the games or change that dramatically. i think it's more like, you know, these guys have always been haunted by the x rays and this is a new method of onto them. but anyway, i think the, you know, it's a israel wants to invade 11 on, they're going to have big problems regardless of these morale damaging attacks and the damage. so it, communication systems will be relatively easily fixed. so i don't think it's a big deal in a tactical sense. these are rarely attach earlier today the white house national security spike's been, john cabby said that he was not aware of any communication from israel ahead of
12:49 am
that stripe that took place in bay route. today, and i'll just read back what he said exactly what i can to set to you is that there was no us involvement the the, the us keen to distance itself from the attack. so i'm taking place in 11 on today . what would you think that's all about because it's quite interesting. uh, the operative that was killed, best by the operative that was killed and very my queue was well known to the, to the us. uh, it was an a, i mean that even announced a reward of up to $7000000.00 for information leading up to his arrest just a year ago. so killing him would have, would have been, have been true for the, for, for the americans. i suppose so, but i think the, you know, the binding ministration does not lice this escalation of conflict. israel has pursued with his boy lab and on and these assassinations of physical leaders and
12:50 am
including in syria, an escalation with ron about his as a ronnie and diplomats, i mean they've been very clear, i think the bought in ministration that they don't like the stuff. so i think that's one reason they when disassociate themselves with this, i think it's also true that the united states is not likely to have been involved is, is likely that parts of the israeli government, even though it's going to happen, it was so secret vice um at the same time, you know, the united states has bank for all the is really military the i, the giving the, giving them 14000000000 dollars this year on top of what we're already giving them $3000000.00 plus a year. so it's kind of impossible in the broader sense of opinion and common sense, the united states to really disassociate itself from what the israeli military dollars and the strikes they conduct against us out of music, particularly when the united states balls. um, you know, it was whole money when they do these things. we just go along with it and say,
12:51 am
jesus really wish you wouldn't do that. so you know, we're, we're kind of in for a penny in for a pound year. i think. what do you think it rounds role is going to be here? i mean, do you do to expect them to to, to do anything at this point or are they going to kind of stay out of it? well i think that, ron, uh, does it one or more with israel, are you doing a lot more with the united states? certainly. and so i think that, you know, they've been somewhat cautious in the way they've, i conducted operations. and you know, using proxies here, people and all of the issues of the rocks and syria links, not necessarily tied ties, but links to the running and government to kind of get out the united states and, and be as rarely use without. i think they're trying to avoid at least crossing a red line where they ron with get pulled in. and i don't think they want to see
12:52 am
a big door in lebanon where israel baze. but at the same time, they're obviously interested in continuing to keep pressure on his role. and they liked that his full conduct, the strikes that i think around is kind of striking a balance where they push, but don't try to go too far. and in terms of what you think is going to happen next, i mean as well, that is not the easiest photo is it for israel is it may not be as strong as as well, but it does indeed have 850000 rockets, 850000 missiles, it is a for middle of photo. so, you know, it is how far is, is ro willing to go here to take on his bullet and, and really that could be a massive impact on its own as well as well. i think it's 2 ways to look at it. one is from a sort of common sense or strictly rational perspective. israel has its hands full dealing with the mos in gaza. and you know, there are
12:53 am
a lot of forces are tied up doing that. their readiness, i think for a big war, 11 honor elsewhere is not that high. uh and beyond add um, you know, the idea of taking a chunk of 11 on a experience they've had to their own happiness before in order to shut down rock and fire. the north is really kind of a bad equation for the cost benefit standpoint. there are much more efficient ways of shutting down there, rock and fire, like i mean the war and gaza. so it's a kind of crazy idea. they have, they need to go into the 11 on again and can solve a bunch of territory and get a lot of people killed in order to shut down this fire. but this is really good opportunity might really do that. they have a seemingly, a pretty big appetite for a restaurant in warfare. and they really seem to think at least some of the main ministers is as you know, the only way to solve their problems is to expand the war. and i don't think that's been working for them particularly well so far,
12:54 am
but they don't seem to have come to that realization. so, you know, i think there's a pretty good chance they're going to go into the lab and i don't know exactly when, but it seems possible. i want to put to you some comments that you as president joe biden made a little earlier. he was speaking to the media and he was asked about the current situation in lebanon. and he said, we're continuing to try to do and try for the beginning to make sure that the people in northern israel as well as southern 11 on the able to go back to that homes. why do you think he framed his response by echoing israel's will go uh which it's made of returning people back to their homes in the north of as ro, as i would say is possible just that he wants to sort of say, look, i understand that this is your problem, but i get some things a little more problem marks me for the israeli government. and i'm sensitive to that, but i'm trying to come up with ways you can deal with that problem other than uh,
12:55 am
why the war and going into the webinar in bathing. maybe maybe that's what he's doing or maybe he's just gotten used to repeating is really talking ports. okay. good to talk to benjamin friedman. policy director at defense prior to speaking to us back from washington dc. okay, let's go back to gaza now. uh, because uh at least 13 palestinians have been killed that and is riley strike on the southern base 15 of rock the 3 children were among the dead. the top targeted 2 houses in the most, but area of northern rough f was the full palestinians have been killed in. is there any res, on the gaza strip since don't on friday talk about zoom is indira by that with the latest on. those is right. strikes the security situation and
12:56 am
goes is getting much more intense in the course of the past couple of hours where the is, but it only has been hit thing old areas of course because of strep. but the main focus was on the southern, on a little bit part of district where to residential houses were destroyed early, at least 15 palestinians, what killed and there has been more concentration on targeting residential buildings or so in the north of the territory was here in the central area we continued, he allowed explosions of the eastern side of the 3, and they know that portion of i'm is that right? so we could, you come back is too close to need to re, corey deal with the situation is getting much more value. the course as well has been wrong because it's been a 3 strikes on full promising in vehicles that have been useful transportation among palestinian gold. renee and at the same time here, don't know, great concerns about the escalation that is taking place and living on a trip of cushions to a to bring pressing spite the achievable with the use of an interest to pros,
12:57 am
in the military defensive to include the phones and to ramp up mobility, the pressure on has been lost, which can really be a very dangerous escalation. alarm signed if this chris could add it to the minister. my misery for the reason it for the read for the entire region is specifically that palestinian sleep that each will have the to get a ceasefire seal on the ground. terry compass then i would do 0. they're worried about that for we go, let's kind of recap of the of the top story this ella is writing the selves of hit the lebanese capital fair. we're, it's killing at least 14 people and injuring woman. 16 of us has pulled out, has confirmed its top ministry. come on to a brian mchugh was sealed in those strides. that's it for me, my name's fine. so this means value. find much more on websites. i'll be back in just a moment with much more of the days to stay with us here on the,
12:58 am
in the sense that he missed the acadia. and he just, the truth is the price is high for a family of palestinian after this. so peacefully protected the community from is brady, secular expansion in the occupied westbank for decades. they just put that really for that day on. oh, i see this is the story that's i'm trying to see them moving. dab some of the on the fire on the jersey, the african stories from african perspective. most of the times i've never bought one that has nothing to do machine because of the voice of machine. i feel like, you know, i mean it's short documentary spine to make is from kenya. he raised,
12:59 am
i'm trying to do something that gets it and ties the coast colors. i live here in scrap yet, i'm of africa. diving on, i'll just hear these off choose solutions that gives us now for a future that we have to find creative solutions. not just turn our backs on the don't think that has a number. think about it as a person yourself and that person shoes. so as you can see for this is my us, my life, like at least in my life, those stages we want we want to operate because the women and my country deadlocks, we we are not denies all of who we are human beings and deserves to be treated in the chloe we are under false. that's our ancestors.
1:00 am
whatever has been done before, can be done even better. as long as a human being is doing it, you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see. the vision is keywords you of the is really a strong sit, a densely populated southern and saw the 11 east capital bainbridge, at least 14 people, are killed thousands the engine as well. it confirms one of its top military commanders in for him. i q was one of those killed in the attack. the, i'm on the inside. this is all just there are nice from don't. well, so coming up these are, tex, represent a new development and welfare.
