tv NEWSHOUR Al Jazeera September 27, 2024 6:00pm-7:01pm AST
6:00 pm
in your own adventure, now counter news . hello . i'm sorry. i minimize the welcome to the news. our life from dow ha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. fi is right, 5 minutes to tells you. and general assembly, he's defending his country from lies and surround wiley's forces relentlessly from lebanon and casa thousands of diplomats worked out in protest. this benjamin netanyahu took the stage ask for you in general assembly in new york. at least 25 people have been killed in is riley attacks and 11. and since doing this includes a family of 9 also coming out this hour,
6:01 pm
forcing from central gaza. but is writing phone 5 minutes has hit tens sheltering displays, palestinians in a hospital compound the hello and welcome to the program. we begin this news hour at the united nations general assembly, where these writing prime minister has addressed delegates, benjamin espanol, who said his country wants peace while the same time. his forces are engaged in devastating attacks across lebanon and gaza. at least 742 people have been killed in lebanon. and just the past 5 days, including several children, while moving 41 and a half 1000 people have been killed in israel as nearly here, a long war and gauze. a nice and young told that a good fit is ro will continue what he called degrading as paula until it achieves
6:02 pm
its goals. after i heard the allies and slanders leveled at my country by many of the speakers at this podium, i decided to come here and set the record straight. i decided to come here to speak for my people to speak for my country to speak for the truth. and here is the truth is rules, the space is real, yours for peace. israel has made copies of will make peace again. so many delegates moved out as he is writing foreign minister to the podium. thousands of dep hemlocks was seen leaving the united nations general assembly hall as
6:03 pm
benjamin netanyahu started to speak less, bringing gabe or others under whose un headquarters in new york. so it must have been an interesting atmosphere there in the room. do we have any idea as to which delegations which countries left just as benjamin netanyahu began his speech? well many that's the short answer, but i think there's really 2 things here to remember that many delegations simply did not show up even to take their seats. but then there was another group of delegations that took their seats. but then as the prime minister of israel began his speech, they stood up and walked out. so if you combine both groups, it was a huge protest and really showed, quite frankly, how isolated benjamin at yahoo is on the global stage. what is happening in terms of the protest taking place outside? nothing young, who did referenced in one point in his address at the united nations general
6:04 pm
assembly. but what can you tell us about the events around the, the speech is of the well, there are protests and they've been going on for several days now in various locations of new york city. there are protests happening right now as well. however, they're very spread out and that's because uh, the security as you can imagine around the united nations is pretty intense. they're keeping protestors many, many blocks away. the security presence here is tens of thousands of police officers and they are intentionally pushing anyone that tries to get even close to the un headquarters right now. a very far away, but certainly there, there is protests, there have been protests and it's not just right now with this. we protest against these reels. we're on the guys that have been going on here in new york city as we
6:05 pm
know and other cities throughout the united states for many, many months now. but certainly they, we think that they have seen some intensification because of israel's escalation now and 11 on. all right, thank you very much. i gave her i was on a, bring us all the latest on this number one, the shars out. is there a senior, this guy, unless joins me from london and more on that before? and so this address is particularly interesting because of course, many people say there is this inherent divide or discrepancy between the western countries and the developing world and emerging economies. who should be having more of a voice on international affairs and we seeing actually israel and by extension america increasingly isolated on the issue of gauze are a now happening oh, there's actually no done by facts. and increasingly it is the key word here. and
6:06 pm
because with dime and despite america's attempt, black meaning developing countries or those will need of american aid, or even those are need the world bank. and i m f assistance with the black premiere by the united states. america is such as our global economic and military power, that it's capacity to shake down countries around the world's huge. but even that influence is eroding with time. and we saw that by the way, since the water on and ukraine, we've seen that system the end of month lease, that america is losing its credibility. it's losing the temperature once a times because of its own mistakes, such as if you guys close up the water in your walk and of can stand by time because of its support for is right. know where in the world, in no other instance in international relations, we see a country makes such an investment of hundreds of billions,
6:07 pm
hundreds of millions of dollars in another country that is considered a role say by most countries of the world lead by today a war criminal let is sold by the national criminal court prosecutor. so there's no doubt that the parking lot, these are going to by the way, i agree money. i'm with of nothing. yeah. what, who side? probably it's, i mean i did check it, i'm sure it's true that there was more on the additional these are the other countries, but it goes along with just say, how much is ryan has violated international law? one and 2. how much in the fuse is to abide by international law? i'm not the resolutions i'm 3, but the united states continues to protect it as is where i got his it's war crimes with such impunity. but i suppose this is the thing that even if you do have international funds, these are all these un resolutions,
6:08 pm
the international court of justice, filing cases against israel. it doesn't appear to have any practical impact right now. uh, because ultimately the power rests in washington and this is a major problem, not one you for the other cities, and not just for people out on the world who have no other resort to that box. international law and international legal system. is this the would put the entire world system in crisis, then we will see the results in the years to come. because as the united states under mine still thought of the, the additional criminal court under international court of justice and of the united nations and the window of the united nations and refusing to protect the united nations from the war crimes committed by his threats such as i can see you on the staff in awards on like garza and all these things happens. it's the entire
6:09 pm
global system at 1st. so the united states, as it continues to she protect finance, is rose water machine is there as war crimes? is there a general sides? it is not funny looking more or more hypocritical and not cause ability, but it is, as i said, for security and that mining data national system. listen, i'm this is the system was that was created a good part by the united states after the 2nd world war. so that we don't see the petition of the kinds of crimes that were committed doing an after stuck up a little more. okay, thank you very much. out. is there a senior plesk on a smaller one? bushera? so now i want to thanks. we go to lebanon, these righty bombardment there has continued for a 5th day. at least 9 people in one family were killed in an as striking the town of chava near the border with syria for children are among the dead. since monday
6:10 pm
is ready, we'll kind of bummed bonded hezbollah strongholds around the country. displacing more than a 100000 people, i was just, there was a know holder begins out coverage now from southern lebanon, of the humanitarian impact. tens of thousands of lebanese are moving north as israel, as a result, shows no sign of relenting so far. the strikes have been in areas whereas the law has a presence. nobody lives among those who have been displaced by this conflict. having to escape his village on the top. he believes door is only at its beginning. the night. it's becoming harder to be far from the reality of this conflict. the yellow we just heard the strike very close to the school where the displaced people are seeking shelter. you can see in the distance israel strikes really as rose is really military has been
6:11 pm
widening its scope of operations in the past few days, striking deeper inside leaven on we are approximately 50 kilometers from the boards . are these really military says it is degrading as well as military capabilities, as it tries to pressure the group to agree to hold fire without an end to the war. on garza, the trajectory of this conflict appears to be one of escalation. civilians are being killed and wounded. many of them children. there have been hundreds of casualties in the past few days, right. as the strikes move, move deeper inside the inside leaven on they, it appears what they're trying to do is targets of infrastructure of the medium range rockets in ms. how's the strategic assets of hezbollah? as well as the logistics and supply lines these valleys, these roads are very important in supply lines, not to as well as the last,
6:12 pm
the civilian population to make their way out of southern lebanon. it's been described as, as well as heavy as becoming campaign in decades, and this is still not the full on war with no sign, the warring sides are close to or if been willing to discuss a ceasefire to some like. so i was standing in my car, i opened the trunk and then there was a massive explosion. then there was smoke everywhere. if i move just a few seconds later, i would have been killed. the rubble close the road. i had to drive on a dirt road to reach here. mohammed is shaking and still in shock. this is a country and people on the edge then who are there i was, was the to was the southern let the non let's now speak to ali high sion, his entire in southern lebanon alley. these riley army has been saying that it's mobilized to resolve brigades now near to head near the border
6:13 pm
with the lab. and then, is there a kind of sense of anticipation now that preparations have being made for an incursion into lebanese territory? this land, this is of course something that's being discussed and of course the zillow for offense, dissipation, a lot of through was coming, got about the possible is really encouraging. however, it's not going to be that easy. just in case we have to take into consideration what happened in the 2006 wall with a smaller has will on the sense of, of personnel with less and t. thank a guided massage with his beloved then is really, really struggle to get into the lebanese territories and that's why this is not going to be something that is really ministry is going to work with. i mean, or going to take the initiative ink and then convention of the way this is going to
6:14 pm
be very complicated. i'm problem you. that's why we're seeing this alone stuff is really strikes across that have been these border costs and deep into the live in these territories? no, i just focus on some things right now which, which i thought it was significant during this day is really attacks on the border towns and at the same time, thousands that are directly on the borderline. and at the same time as well. last attack on one of the board that a ministry basis is called by of lead that with artillery. this was the signaling from his will law that justin on the board and the opera good for any invasion, just in case there's any evasion. for now, it's mainly this operation, the is varies in the house and with the, with the objectives to hit the mid range of besides the short range move size. and to bring back the people to the north which doesn't seem to be to be working for
6:15 pm
now. thank you very much, i hope to speak to you more a bit later on the alley high sion, entire in southern lebanon. we can now go to acid bag. he is in the book called valley in the east and 11 and, and while hospitalization, these have been very much focused in southern lebanon. we do see now an expansion of bombing raids in other parts of the country, including the east. can you tell us more about the particular roads or perhaps that sort of strategic areas that the target of these attacks assets israel did say on september 25th, that they would be talk to his beloved targets in the value of the back of the body is strategic it, seeing lots of as seen as is without stronghold just behind me on the eastern mountain range behind that mind to rage lied. sylvia. and the best of value is also connected to southern lebanon. and it's between the east and west and mountain range. now is there a that has been parked in times of villages around the default valley,
6:16 pm
even though even today in the village called cataracts. they were burying 15 people, 50 and civilians. we believe members of the same family that died as a result of in his right. the strike. and today we've seen strikes invited back about 35 come to the north east of where i'm standing in the tons of head of a 100 about the some of the have this about 50 come to the way. and also along that road that 100 mil, between living on and the city and city of homes around 8 to come into the way. and they also 5 come into the way from here. i didn't, this is the impulse of his us the same as his with law strongholds. and what is that is trying to do is try to target some of the routes they believe will be possibly believe what things are coming across from syria, but also a hit with a weapon caches. now when people head here is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu claim that has been lies using hospitals and schools and people's homes to hide weapons that real crisis. that because they've seen what's happened in gaza with the top 10,
6:17 pm
i'm kidding of so many videos and the fear rates as it's escalate to the possibility of the disability infrastructure and civilian lives been lost here and up and on. yeah. as i see him cuz he is writing this live their targets as being as well as strong holes. but the reality is that these as strikes are targeting densely populated areas, residential homes, buildings, villages, which are resulting in civilian deaths and injuries. tell us about the funerals that were held today in the because we understand that the funeral of head in the health and the village of colorado is actually a governor to the region. now, 15 members, we believe of the same family that those districts took place on wednesday evening and 15 people were killed but they're not the only ones that have died. that's the
6:18 pm
result of these very strikes. in fact, hundreds have been killed over the last frontier to 48 hours as a result of the escalation. it has been carrying guides, and as you said many times with the caveat, this strikes, the car died intensity populated residential areas. whether it's the suburbs of baby boots or whether it's here in default by the end is inevitable, that civilians will end up being killed as we've seen in the us, and also southern lebanon. so that's the real fear happens to people and that's why we seen people being dispatched internally, displaced in levered on because of that fear, the fact that the homes may come under directors, radio tech. all right, thank you very much, said by reporting to us from the car in east and 11, which has also been affected by is righty as strikes. well, now that happened protests actually against benjamin netanyahu, outside the united nations building, but also outside of his hotel, where he's staying in new york. it's always
6:19 pm
a bo is live for us from the city and she joins is not gonna tell us a bit more about the, the sort of skate of these protests to raise and who is involved. well we've been seeing since the 1st day before on sheets. thousands of them protesting against the preston, sylvania, i mean nothing. you have over here in new york city on star state, people marched across 1st avenue, the center of the city. and then in the evening they went to where, nothing. yeah, who is staying right now? several people were detained, that it's not clear yet whether they would try again to make it here to where they're united nations, where i am right now. you can see there's lots of secuity on around the savvy, it's very, very difficult to get to where we are right now. so many of the protesters that have tried to make it here have not been allowed to do so they were earlier today at the hotel, whatnot on yahoo. but again, as i said before, many have been arrested. so what they're demanding is that not can you hold to be
6:20 pm
arrested? let's not forget that. back in may, the prosecutor of the international criminal court requested an arrest warrant for nothing. yahoo, as well as defense minister you, i've got loans and also a 3 members of the have mass leadership. those issues have not been issued right now. those arrest warrants. however, people here, that's exactly what they're do. many of the other thing that has been people here extremely angry is that the united states military assistance for as well. on wednesday, the is riley government announced that they have received an extra $8700000000.00 of military assistance for as well. and this is something that a people that been protesting here in the united states and new york city extremely consent. they say they do not want the united states to continue supporting their state delivery as well. so this phone system we see here in new york and in other parts of the country are part of a bigger movement that's been happening since october. the 2nd thousands of people . many of them students, we have seen them, for example,
6:21 pm
taking over university campuses demanding that their universities divest from companies that invest and the war or the profit from the war. so again, thousands of people have been on the streets denouncing the preference of virginia . i mean, that's on yahoo. they're saying that they want to send a message to the rest of the world, but not everyone in this country is supporting nothing. yeah. who's war on living on and gaza? thank you. to raise a boat in new york. we've got a central garza now where is riley as drugs there is it the courtyard of the locks, the hospital? 1810. the sheltering displays, palestinians were destroyed. at least one person was killed. 7, all those were injured. 4 people died. and these right, the bombing of a family home and the jabante refugee camp also tag assume has more from the locks the hospital in darrell ha, now in the impact side of destroyed. so flayson solely the backyard of up to the
6:22 pm
hospice of what residents have been taking this place as a clean rescue to clean these valuable abutment. of course, this trip you can see the scale of disruption, and this is the messiah that has been used to attack this very densely populated area. let me read for you what has been written here. it's a going to miss title surface attack, and it has been manufactured in the united states, and it belongs to the united states army. as you can see here, what has been written, and you can see the crater coast from that strike and how posted you'd have left everything behind here, completely destroyed. you can see blankets, mattresses, bed bits cover, and families even worked, sleeping peacefully since the attack took place in that backyard. it's not the only time that you have talked to place one post. the man has been killed in the attack while 7 others were wounded. up to the hosp to the place with palestinians are
6:23 pm
drawing to be protected inside of to the is very massive ground encouraging and goes up. people that like are no longer feeling safe because of the is really repeated attacks, of course the territory terrace about so i will give you the palestine. is there any forces of carried out a raid in the occupied westbank it? is there any minutes restoring the by law to a refugee camp is of novelist and the confrontations with fights has in the can and will also attack supplies rainy satellites on palestinian vehicles, east of ramallah. i want to bring you some breaking news now as we continue to follow developments and 11. and there's been another explosion in da here. this is the district and they route. and i think this would be now the 5th target to the 5th strike. the 5th strike in about a week and now you can see smoke rising from the area. this is known to be a,
6:24 pm
it has all a stronghold. there are many as well as the pushes, but it is also a very densely populated part of the lebanese capital. we have many civilians, many people who will be living there. and so we have seen a tax in this part of they were becoming much more frequent attacks on a route southern suburbs. but also we are seeing is sort of more extensive is riley, it strikes in other parts of the country as well as a presence in the south. but we have also seen a tax on folding in the east of the country. and even in some locations, north of all that they were just speaking to a correspond as a bank in the because valley where we, i've seen is riley strikes as they say on the strategic roads that would degrade, has ball as capabilities in terms of transporting weapons and we're still says from one location to another, but take here, we have another explosion in the da here districts of they will say across that
6:25 pm
bring you more in it later. but also now continuing to follow the on the dish. what we see at the united nations general assembly bangladesh and drum leda. mohammed eunice was now so became not to whom goodman did, let me know that he had always this phone call from o, o d, but position either 7200 the engineering controllers. i do go put the 40s on waving, coming to me to deliver on the un mondays and address the global challenges of the future. i would really, i mean will, how should i particularly applaud his patient in convening to some of the future? so i'm really effects for the future and declination on the back for the future and the declaration of on future generations. good health and searching both ways.
6:26 pm
beyond 20 vision 220-1300. we shall have probably. i mean, let me find that this is jessica with the some money that are going with seek some with the new bundle dish police. but the summit outcome would serve as a guiding framework in materializing our shared aspirations and rethinking collaboration for most started to let me go to here. i stand in this parliament of nations. thanks to and it broke off transformation that bound the dish weakness this july. and august, i'm a bit wonder why don't you just, but it doesn't show much the power of the ordinary people. in particular, all you'd be presented to our nation, an opportunity to overhaul the menu for systems and institutions from above that
6:27 pm
don woodson, i'm going to tell you what i'm doing. but something came up the to look the uprising lead by the students and you was initially aimed at ending discrimination . progressively, the movement evolved into a because you haven't the word eventually saw that they shouldn't, but how people at large store against or to kristy operation, we some discrimination in justice and corruption that support both on the street and online look at that, i did talk to jona, that, that, that, or the most from global open the street, i'm assuming it's executed, upsetting over organism. so people. yeah, but you clearly, you gained us independence from, i know to quickly and on democratic ritchie. i'm with the exception of resolve and
6:28 pm
capability that collective resolve should define bangladesh of a future system provided by the act, the data sunday. so nation as it is possible state, i'm into call me do of 2 nations, a going one, the loan doc, or the god or 9, it should be done them to, to bring that they should have a more don't. so this is indeed a movement that primarily brought together people who were long left, not in politics and development on the home to that is to ask for somebody to do to be shared to being to see how much it's only going to net your what are the people to aspired for the, just into saving functioning democracy for which oh, new generation made. so believe several twice a day to do that you from that the horse to the we would move to buy new ways to move the cartridge in conviction. set up a show you show one to get really quick,
6:29 pm
even beeping bullets. beatrice is due to the overdraft to come a benefit of this trouble. the young goes the fiercely vocal against technology to meet stage follower is going to be sure that it needs some good safety. it's sort of a good to know that there's going going, teenagers laid down their life, the system. i knew you to 30, how do you think that the 100 slots there i forever the majority of the which 100 all the new mothers deliberately stuff a score. so people across cities letting their shoulders for the children who don't a, b, c, b to work is not good. that actual to the actual good to i can define with rain and fear of death. the defeated all the evil designs and machinations for a few. for many polluted the state missionary begins, truth and just as patient people for years. the how do you people smoke ment left
6:30 pm
an estimated over 800 monitors in the hands of the auto critic. all right, so want to take you live to that avenues, capital bay road, whether it has been another attack on the dia, district in the southern parts of the country. this is a densely populated area. we have seen at least 5 attacks, such attacks of this nature by the israelis over the past week. they say these are targeted assassinations. in fact, the previous one, the previous attack, which took place was carried out by an f 35 that fide 3 missiles at the head all has bowl as drone unit. so we have seen a number of attacks taking place in this part as they route, but it's very important to note that when these residential family, when these residential buildings are attacked, you have many people, many civilians living inside. you have many families who have them any children who live there. and some of the latest figures suggested at least 50 children of been
6:31 pm
killed over the past week. as we see this sort of cross border violence on the israel 11 and border over the past 11 months, a war of attrition taking place between hezbollah and the is riley's now a significant escalation, as we see, is really bombing raids taking place in lebanon. this is often a series of attacks of pages and walkie talkies, a technology which essentially exploded in the hands of, of not just numbers of hezbollah, but also all the civilians, other people who use them who work at what, who lacking in the health system. paramedics, who drive ambulances, doctors and others. so these attacks are indiscriminate in that nature because of the, the areas that we see targeted and love it in a here. we have another attack on the, in da here in the bay route. and so i, li,
6:32 pm
hi, sure. i'm actually joins us now from tyra in the southern part of the country. natalie has been reporting on continuous as strikes over there. but to, is there any more information about, about the circumstances surrounding and this now i think the 5th attack of it has taken place in, in the southern part of a root. any more information about this? was there a lot of speculations right now, of course, given the fact does have the context, there's a button of that having taken place for the past months. and of course weeks such as strikes are always targeting someone by this time people who um, at least uh uh, reporting what's happening on the ground. i with this is saying that there were
6:33 pm
between 9 and 10 explosions, consecutive explosions. the, this might mean that there were about 10 is right, the rockets or mid sized launch from and probably after a to 5 airplane or work lean towards the target that they were hitting. but it's a huge explosion as we are seeing i'm, i'm just receiving videos from that because i'm in the south receiving the just watching these because it seems to me from the pictures that the, the geographic location of this strike is how does the fake it's almost between the, the airport throat and how to fix. and it's of course, an area that's uh in the middle of the southern sol. bible's name stella, who is the target. why is this attack so big? because if i forget, for example, yes, it is a thought inside the solve and solve the was uh,
6:34 pm
fog. you think it buildings. and it wasn't this huge, this time that are 10 rockets that were probably adults were launched towards this building or the space with that was fog. and for now, of course, would be waiting to see what's going to be said, and who is the i'm keeping my eye on the phone to know whether they there are new reports coming with respect to who has been as, as a native who's been killed by is really in this attack over the past few weeks as well, has been working on this for the dismantling the command chain and has the law in part of with dismantling the control chain. and given the fact that all the nations that took place since the so if the 30th of july or the 29th of july, when for our chick or the mind increment of the operations,
6:35 pm
we'll watch kids then beginning off the uh, the, the road 14 assigned to the, the commanders of the one for son about him. i'll keep then beginning of the commander of the miss size. busy the weapons and the killing yesterday. awesome. how much to the man in charge of the drone rapids. so it seems that these very, these are working on dismounting or at least hitting the structure of the higher key hitting the commands here. and this is of course, one of the layers of this war a given the fact that such attacks wouldn't happen without a strong intel on the ground. it give us also a kind of a joint, a joint talk between the inside of the, just the minutes. this is an on several occasion what's been announced by these ready is that an incarnation between i'm on and the i got cut, all i need is that the patient took place and just how big is this?
6:36 pm
yes, please. well, i was just, i was just gonna ask you, do i do this? as you say, this is one of a number of attacks. and we have seen israel carrying out these attacks against has boilers, infrastructure against keep them on does now so many weeks and months to degrade the groups. capabilities of questions being asked about the, the volume of intelligence information these raise of managed to gather about the group. it was, the fact is that the is varies. uh, are clearly having good. i'll put a hand in the intelligence war because we can see it is a given the fact they have a lot of information to have a lot of data. they have a lot of this data that was it clearly and inspected by the access to nations. they did, they conducted over the past months. it's not now they've started as,
6:37 pm
as an 18 people because in the fast they wet and hitting at this deep and be able to access the data. however, they were hitting cars. they wouldn't do it hitting people as well. last come on, the result has blocked the open items where moving around in the south or in searching buildings into soft tries when they target to the come on of the most of the unit. uh with or when the uh, it's all good to be combined. got off the unit to me or when they were able to also to hit some of the, um the, the 6 no hold on just kind of mines such as either hydrogen bescedy. so they had in town, they were able to locate these people and hit them and now they're taking this bottle and the kind of another, another might i know the extra mile and maybe not one extra mind, maybe 10 lines. but as they are hitting the structure, the, the command structure and this is very dangerous,
6:38 pm
at least this will give us maybe an indication that this is another phase. and is really wor, because that it might be maybe more phase. it's come by this might think different mind structure then they think probably this really is my think that has what laws, command structure control, structure, audience any more, uh with efficiency, the lock f. and she efficiency to face the so the coming phase which could be a groggy incursion, which could be more like tax and towards several other areas we've been seeing over the past days is very strikes that covered really been these math from debate. and then the norse to uh, the, the car uh area and the northeast too. of course, to debate with southern solve us as a nation. us as a nation of the commanders to the south to know about the 2, then then the, the se,
6:39 pm
so this really is actually our company, the math spent. it's really surprising that has when laws, retaliation is to within certain limits. i'm this is kind of and i think a lot of and we just getting your some, your just getting more comfortable is looking for indeed, and we're just getting a few more updates here from news agencies. and this is the reuters news agency. these are in the military actually saying that it targeted has been less central combined in bay with southern suburb. so these, they say they've targeted as well as central, combined in da here. and so there is tell us about how it has been a sort of organized itself, da here, a sub of, of baby that has a great significance. great sort of historical resonance. how, how, how does the group sort of organize itself within the sob of where it has to be
6:40 pm
said? there are hundreds of families, children, civilians that are present in this, what is actually a very colorful, vibrant of an area, right? so it talk to us more about the sort of as bullet presents and how it's sort of was and into into this sort of fabric of dia, a well, actually, uh i, i'm trying to understand the question because the line is cutting, but i, i can just answer what i understood you were asking about the area about the, about the people that how they're reacting to such as a nation, such as targeting. of course, over the past i mean in 2006 last year was almost destroyed by israel. and later on it was rebecca, many people came back to this area. and on the contrary of what's always being said
6:41 pm
that it's a physical on that this area has people from different parts of use, of course, within a certain community. so many people live there and there are a lot of civilians, of course, on the other many signing is living in das here the schools, the university is that. so it's may be wrong to say in general that this is a has a lot. it's not that has with a lot, it's an area where many people coming from the village is coming from areas outside the cell, but outside of just like any other sort of into what it happened in this area has the law has its own offices, but other than has value and see many other people that know the fact is that with such attacks, of course, there is a pressure on hundreds of thousands of people were talking about a community of probably more than half a 1000000 living in the area in the southern sub and the southern saw the expense it's, it's, it goes from a probably the, the baby with the, the ad for to watch,
6:42 pm
uh, inside to watch space is close to a baby. so the fact is that many families were starting to ever think about leaving weddings or options, but we're actually, this is also another issue that people might think about because caught on play everywhere is being shipped. i was just sending you is ready to start hitting and you're banned in the north sweat hitting and to be caught in the south. and of course and the southern sold websites. i say it's actually a very difficult decision for people to make. okay, thank you very much. i asked him entire and in that 711 and then a 100 joins us now on the phone from they would say no, i'm not sure if you can shed any light on this attack. for us, the is riley say they have targeted has been less central come on, but it appears to be a series of consecutive attacks and explosions and dia as well. yes,
6:43 pm
this was not the precision strikes if you liked that. we've got use to. 5 over recent days and weeks this was different. a a to then to multiple loud explosions, successive explosions, really the loudest explosions that we have heard in the capital. we heard this across the city. it wasn't just heard in the southern suburbs of the booth. and in previous strikes that target to that area. 9 you know, people in, in other areas across the capital would not hear the explosion. so this time, it was unprecedented. the, the, the, the, the explosions now is really army is saying we heard from the spokesperson say that they targeted the central command headquarters if you like, that belongs to hezbollah. no, there is no doubt that this is an area where hezbollah does have
6:44 pm
a presence. there commanders have been killed in this area, but this is also an area where hundreds of thousands of people live and has the law . for example, does not you don't have an address for a who has beloved office. yes, there is a media office, it's very well known. all journalists know these media offices, but we don't know about you know, the presence of a command and control headquarters in, in recent days we've seen strikes in this area become more frequent in the past week alone. we were in the, in the southern suburbs of baby just yesterday, reporting about yet another targeted assassination of yet another senior commander of has the law. but this really was different if those attacks, according to hezbollah, crossed red lines, then this attack has crossed multiple of the red lines. so at the
6:45 pm
moment i can tell you that there is panic across the city. people are calling each other, trying to make sense of what, what has just happened. there has been fear and recent in recent days, and really in the past 2 weeks since this new phase in the and this war between as well. and has beloved began with the pager and walkie talkie explosions. but people in the capital felt that in one way or the other, they have been largely spared from the conflict. but with the strikes. yes, they happened in the root southern suburbs. an area i can say a lot of people have already left from, from, from this area in recent days yesterday, as we made our way through this, through the streets of the big bay with southern suburbs. this is an area which is densely, densely populated. it traffic, it usually takes you an hour just just to reach from one point to, to, to a, to another. but it's,
6:46 pm
but the streets were largely empty. people are scared. people are concerned because isabel, since monday really has been carrying out this intensive and extensive air campaign across areas where hezbollah has a presence, they with southern suburbs has been different. like i've been mentioning as precision strikes, targeted assassinations. but marianne, what we heard really was unprecedented. i. it brought back memories of that, that explosion in 2021. when they explode, or the, or 2000 and 20th at the explosion that they report, which really shook the capital. this is exactly what happened today. building suck . people were telling me that their windows in their homes and where he were shattered by, by the sheer force of, of this, of the strike. so this is the thing we have seen was a significant escalation over the past week or so. and many people wondering
6:47 pm
if there is going to be an, is riley ground in caution. and whether that will be a full scale will. but really to many people who are living inside the country, it already feels that way because civilians have been killed as a result of these bombing raids, including children. the health system, which was already extremely fragile, has been brought to its knees and struggling to cope residential areas of being targeted. and hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee. what we are seeing at 11 and is not, is it? it is. this is a humanitarian and a displacement of crisis as well. yes, that is too. while most of the strikes have been focused on areas where, where, you know, hezbollah has a presence, but these are areas where people live and tens of thousands of people have been on the move since monday. a heading further north from southern 11 on we've seen
6:48 pm
people in the east of the country. thousands of people make their way across the border to syria, to escape the, the intense bombardment that has been targeting by the herman that they call that these are the regions in the east, the east of the country. schools across the country have close. they have now turned into shelters. hundreds of schools are now. 9 housing displays, people, people who have left who left their homes with, with, with nothing people who, who, if, who, who are, if they do not work, are unable to provide food for their children in a country where the government is struggling to provide aid to, to a population the health sector of even before as well began this, this massive air campaign. we had thousands of people injured in those patriot and walkie talkie explosions of that they, they belong to, to hezbollah members, but it does. the explosions were happening in public places where,
6:49 pm
where other people were wounded with. so with there were thousands of people who were wounded and hospitals were under a lot of strain. so and, and the civilian the civilian deaths to is only rising every single day. this past week we've had at least or nearly 100 of adults a day. so that is a high number a to say that this is just the conflict or confrontation. this is no doubt a war and actually use i know we do have a bit of reaction from these. riley's now the head of these riley armies communications unit. daniel how gary has a release the statement a moments ago. these real defense forces carried out a precise strike on the central headquarter of the fees bought after we're going to zation that served it at the center of police ballast there. please bala central
6:50 pm
headquarter was intentionally built on the residential buildings in the heart of the docking bay route. as part of please follow strategy of using lebanese people as human shields. on october 8th, please bono started attacking israel. after almost a year of please bala firing rockets, missiles, and suicide rooms, it is really civilians, a fair, almost a year of israel warning the world and telling them that these bottom must be stopped. israel is doing what every silver and state in the world would do if they had it, sir, we're going to zation that 6, their destruction on their board or taking the necessary action to protect our people. so that is really family skill to leave their homes safely and securely. thank you. well, let's now speed down to sell who it is. and i for us and amman. jordan,
6:51 pm
because these riley government is bind elgin's era from reporting inside. israel isn't any more reaction from these varieties on this as well. this just happening moments ago, this was clearly a coordinated effort between these really military of course, once these really army carries out a large attack, everyone within the organization is aware. and that's why these really armies statement came just moments after the attack took place, the army saying that this was a precise and targeted attack and 10 different explosions that were heard in 11 on bo. clearly tell a different story. the army clearly has always have this type of rhetoric of groups fighting groups in particular, using civilians as human shields. they are alleging that as well as using lebanese people as human shields, they say that they targeted the central command center of his bola,
6:52 pm
which was under ground, underneath civilian buildings according to these really military. and that's why be carried out these airstrikes, but it's also worth mentioning, some of the other rhetoric we've heard from is really military and defensive visuals throughout the day, saying that they are not over with their strikes on lebanon, but they still quote, have a lot of work to do that, there is still a lot of targets. they say they need to hit and that they are absolutely not going to stop. and it came on the keels of a lot of reports of, of potential ceasefire between israel and his bottle of something that these really prime minister had spoken about and flat out denied, saying that israel is going to continue to strike his bowl until the goal of returning evacuated is rarely as back to those northern townsend settlements along the border. but the unprecedented level of military force that israel has been using over the last several weeks in 11 on, is pointing to an old fuel war. even though these really themselves have said that
6:53 pm
they do not want that. but they also said that the time for a diplomatic settlement had expired. and now they're even making preparations on the ground over the last several days for a potential ground invasion into southern 11 on. and they're coordinating with all 6 of these really military. the head of israel's air force had spoken and said that they're going to continue to strike his butler. and should there be a ground invasion from israel's northern border into 11 on southern border that the air force would assist in bombing the vicinity and the perimeter. so that it would make it easier for his really troops to move in. so this is still a developing situation, but it's unlikely. within this hour we'll get another statement from these really army spokesperson. because again, after these types of attacked take place, the statement is already prepared ahead of time. the target, according to the, is really military for them. was the central command center for his butler in the
6:54 pm
southern beta suburb of the here. okay, thank you. i'm to sell it in amman and jordan on and asked me to do a search bar a she is in bay route for us and we are just hearing the is really only spokesman daniel agari describing this as a precision strike. but from the accounts we all got same dose, this, these series of strikes in a residential area, the biggest attack on bay root southern suburbs. since we saw an escalation in that, in lebanon, but also possibly the biggest attack that we have seen for a very long time. a yes, mary, i'm certainly this is the largest attack that we've seen in recent weeks, according to when this account. so proceed, and people who witnessed explosion as well as the 4th issue that we're getting from the scene. this is the biggest attack via is really forces on
6:55 pm
a residential area is down here, which is about 7 kilometers from where i'm standing. now of course, this has been a very, very brutal week here in a very rude at this is the 5th attack on that here since last friday. and certainly this appears to be the biggest one. yes. with reports of multiple as air strikes, at least at 10 explosions have been heard in this suburb of their roots. now course at a local population since last friday after the precision strike is israel, causes of the top has will of commanders force many residents to flee their homes and that neighborhood. and they exit as continued until as even today we were talking to people just along the courtney sure. in the downtown bay route. they told me they were here from down here. they had relocated for the time being they no longer felt safe in their own neighborhood. at the target, it strikes it,
6:56 pm
israel says they were carrying doubts were being carried out in residential areas. this is a neighborhood that is home to roughly about 700000 people. that according to estimates of local officials in, in the suburb about 80 percent of the population have left their homes because they are worried about these daily strikes. now. and of course, this is one of the biggest now, and it is a daily reminder yet again about that this conflict is completely beyond what the red lines were set for. it's for auditors over the past year. yes, we have seen is low level war of attrition. although it has to be said, it's had a massive impact on the population in the south of the country, right? because many people that already been forced to flee. this is a quoting to official figures from the, from the international organization for migration. we've already seen a displacement crisis in lebanon, but now just over the past week to 10 days,
6:57 pm
it's reached a new scale with as strikes, not just in the southern part of the country doses, but they appear to be expanding in scope with that weapons being deployed a that have much more potency, because you know, too many people living in lebanon. this will already feel like they are in the midst of the, of a whirl. yes, certainly married, but i just spoke with the environments minister who is also the head of the emergency committee here in the country. and he told me that really they are at their limit. so he said that the country has about one month supply of emergency aid for people in these emergency situations. and he said there are now one weekend . and he said on monday, they are going to launch a full campaign to ask for a to international aid, whether it be in the form of financial assistance or the goods that they need in
6:58 pm
terms of medical aid or 1st ad basically food that they need for people that are being forced out of their homes, who said the situation is certainly now a catastrophe, unlike anything this country has ever seen before. he said, on a daily basis, they see nearly 10000 people looking for shelters in the capital of a root. he said they are already accommodating over a 100000 people in their roots, and they are trying to find a call in the temporary recommendation for these people that have been displaced. he said the situation is extremely worrying and he said the country has another 3 weeks in the supplies before they completely run out and they won't be able to help any of their own citizens. so he said they're going to launch a campaign to ask for help from regional countries, as well as international aid organizations. because really, there is clearly no and this insights in this conflict. there is no diplomatic solution at the moment that's being discussed. and it's clear that this what he called israel's war on the 11,
6:59 pm
these population will continue. and that's only going to exasperate that already fragile infrastructure in this country. yes, 11 was already in the midst of a severe economic and humanitarian crisis. and we really saw that we've seen that since the pandemic, but also since that point explosion in 2021 financial. so thank you very much. dosage of bi reporting to us from the lebanese capital bay would the watching algae 0 live from doe. i'm mariann. minimize the, it's $1600.00 g m t and we want to update you on our breaking news story. this hour we have been following developments and 11 and a series of huge explosions of rocked by root. israel is saying that it's a tax on has ball as central come on to headquarters and da here in the capital
7:00 pm
southern suburbs. da, here has been targeted a number of times before has been subjected to these bombing attacks. but here, according to our correspondence accounts that we have been receiving from people in the area successive as strikes at least 10 explosions. what hud heavy plumes of smoke can be seen in the area. dia is a densely populated part of the country. they've been at least 5 strikes. this appears to be the 5th strike in the lebanese capital bay route this week. but actually what we have seen over the past couple of days is an expansion in the scope and intensity of is really as strikes, not just in the southern part of the country, but in some cases in the area is north of a route. and also in the because valley they claim that these are position strikes that it aimed at the grading has belies capabilities, but we do see that many civilians have been killed and.
