at least 12 explosions. what hub this according to an eye witness that we spoke to, who is in the area. heavy plumes of smoke have been seen rising from the scene of the explosion. but to these, is there any strikes all the most powerful we have seen in the lebanese capital? really somebody is the government has said that at least 2 people were killed and 76, others injured. but as you can see from just the scenes in front of us, an anti residential block, a level to the ground, many people would have been inside. you can see rescue workers and excavations are at the scene because of the, the cement, the concrete blocks and the debris that will need to be removed to find people who have been buried under the rubble. it is likely that this casualty toll will rise and speak to dose and jabari who is in by route for us and joins us now. dos are you getting any more information about what we have seen there in bay route tonight?
9:02 pm
well we're getting the eye witness reports, people who are witness this unprecedented attack on this is right. that's a does talk and the heart of the hills are stopped. and uh, they say that people are very much shocked, and there is a lot of chaos as you can imagine at the scene at our own say no, there was there a short while ago and she describes how people are dealing with this shock of what's just happened one man told her that they've seen bodies of children being taken by ambulance crews away from the scene. there, things are very, very tense in the 11 east capital. i can tell you that there is a lots of shops around those that have closed early. maybe people are heading home and they. 1 worried about what could come next. there was
9:03 pm
a lot of fear about who could have been the target of this attack. of course, maybe or speculating that this kind of an attack on a civilian area in the capital, by root. what has had to be a very high target within has the law for israel to carry out this kind of a heavy it strike air strikes, to basically justify them a carry it, having this kind of as a desk to old express. that of course, as populated the neighborhood many civilians, nearly 700 civilians live in that area. and i've spoken to many of the residents from down here who have decided to leave this neighborhood since last friday when israel began. that's what it says we're targeted assassination of high ranking as well as members. of course, they claim that has the law is using underground bunkers to hold their meetings and uh they, it's where their advance headquarters is based without providing any evidence. and
9:04 pm
the civilians are the ones that are caught in the crossfire and their people are very angry and they're very scared about the events that have been unfolding in their contract. filled with the past with the government says that they are now as they have passed a state of crisis. a catastrophe. hundreds of other people have been faced is all strikes across love at all. not just the southern part of the country as since monday, but also in the east of love it on the back of all the a north of the capital bay roots as well as there are thousands of people that have been wounded and hundreds have been killed many, many display 3rd taking shelter is very various schools in the city. is it very rude to that have been turned into shelter? so there is a sense now this single events today is not. yeah, it's certainly a game changer in this country. thank you so much to
9:05 pm
a so jabari with the latest from the avenues capital. they would also following the story for us is audi. hashem, he is entire, in southern lebanon ali, what's the latest your hearing, or what, what i'm hearing is that the one else has blogs, the main official site attach themselves to you, dean is safe. this is lucky, you know now, and i'm actually the still a lot of, uh, we're still waiting for more updates to come to us from the leadership on has the law from the officials. the principal, there is no object. there's no statements yet on all the people within the higher key within the structure within the combined office will law. and of course this is once again one of the biggest strikes that has the principal has had over the past um, over the past few weeks. and a given the fact this rate is trying to dismantle the combined structure of the
9:06 pm
combined a chain and the party in the organization. this just gives another indication how much is right, is a trying, it's best to have even in residential areas. it's not taking into consideration that people might be killed, especially if that's something so a place like, uh, the southern sub up is full of people. it to a residential area. and. and it's taking this as a pretext to strike with volumes of explosives. and is there any more information on the about? i know why this particular building was targeted. i know that you've just said that said hashem. sophia dean is safe. who is a jet? who is a senior member head of the executive council. he is safe also,
9:07 pm
you know that to say it has a nice throttle, a. the leader of hezbollah is also safe. but when they, when they carry out attacks like this, guess what they would argue is they're a, they're a bunk because that go very deep on the ground. and this was, i mean, this was a huge attack. i think 2013 each has the prices in the ground. and so what, what are the, what might be they'd be trying to achieve from doing this was the fact is that over the past weeks we've been seeing said that i looked at some of the tax, but this is the biggest, maybe just raising the whole block in that and the neighborhood on an install button is, gives an indication how much this is really a military and also, and the back of the, the, it is really a leadership off desperate to achieve something on the ground. but the fact is that there's something different to you. i would hezbollah. it has
9:08 pm
a different structure. it has a different body, even with the kidding of a separate off it's commander. and it was still able to act and initiate sometimes, especially when we saw that talk on the surroundings of haifa. close to tel aviv trying to head to the massage headquarters. so all these attacks, all these uh steps, even within, under, under such a pressure and even with the kidding golf, set it off, it's going under the group proved to be able to adapt with the situation. ok, thank you very much. ali hi sham reporting to us from tire in southern lebanon, new jersey is the lebanon country director for news or, and well relieve one of the humanitarian organizations offering support to internally displaced people in lubbock. and he is joining us now from a root. an over the past week, we have been speaking about hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced,
9:09 pm
people who are moving very often from the southern parts of lebanon towards the northern lebanon. but they don't always have any way to go, don't care of that. that means government has the resources to provide them with shelter and everything they need. what can you tell us about this mass displacement crisis in lebanon right now? a good evening, maria. i'm and thank you for having me tonight. actually i looked at it. busy for the 7 on has been trying from day one to cover this unprecedented humanitarian crisis. and that goes traffic, tragedy ended up in on as you just described it, we have never seen and then all there and history of 11 on something like that. and i believe we do have more than 200000 ideas as of today, and the number is expected to grow and skyrocket. i believe people amalia were not
9:10 pm
ready. they were not given enough time. they had children handled them and they have few minutes to take. they arrived in the car and move and enjoying the hot 12 hours just to cross a tens of kito meters towards data. and. busy know what's going on. so this is really catastrophic. we've seen a woman was seen children waiting in the car, looking for a place to go. they did not have money, they did not have enough resources for water. so everything is needed from the world to support these crisis, and this is what the w r is doing. now on the ground. i think the lebanese authorities have spoken about opening more than 200 shelters across the country with the majority of them being public schools. but this crow, this is probably only a fraction of what is needed to meet people's needs to exactly
9:11 pm
actually the needs government. a did like a plan, there is an emergency unit and they are opening chapters. but the major problem is that the number of internally displaced people is huge. we are talking about over 2 100000 i believe this number would easily reach half a 1000000. so the number of shelter is not enough. and to show to us they opened, i'm not a what we, we have a lot of electricity or full turn off really basic services that are needed for the internally displaced people to at least live with dignity. but only what they were looking for was their, their safety and to sleep the war and i trust a deal of bombs and rates. what are the implications of what you have just said,
9:12 pm
help us understand how the company would have, excuse me, how the country help us understand how the country would cope with a scenario in which you have half a 1000000 people displaced presumably at there are people who would end up, you know, this would affect neighboring countries, countries in the region because they would probably want to, to try and leave the country if no area feels safe. the. busy according to you and i see are over the past 72 hours a day, was talking about 13000 including syrian refugees who moved to syria. so this is completely true and i want to elaborate further more that this is a t think the country and to a dramatic so she will demo graphic change. you can see the number of cars that
9:13 pm
they do is not the able even to absorb the streets. you have really, uh, uh, this is just the beginning of, of this unit daddy and tragedy and where you will see, dyer, social and consequences. because remember those people, they lost their access to incom to jobs. they don't have money. so furthermore, as to the days they would be really running out of resources. and this is definitely where you create more tension, more pressure on how on our infrastructure. and we know so well that the country has been living in a chaotic economic crisis since 2019. so definitely the consequences will be sporadic. and uh,
9:14 pm
this is gonna be an explanation and booked on this. so should again, all make dynamics in 7. i want to thank you for speaking to us tonight about this critical dimension of the story. thank you very much. ali had jobs, the 11 in country director for the lutheran wells, relief organization, which has been offering support to internally displaced people in love in an alley describing virus scenario. and which we could see half a 1000000 people displaced inside lebanon. as the country stands on the precipice of a major humanitarian crisis, if we see an even greater escalation that we have already seen, hundreds of thousands of people internally displaced. an audi had drowsy from the lutheran humanitarian organization, describing a situation which this is only likely to get was because people have well as last that jobs and livelihoods. they've been driven from that homes and the lebanese
9:15 pm
economy already and economy and free full. and with infrastructure that is struggling to cope and will not be able to provide the resources to meet the needs of the population that was already had jobs. the speaking to a staff that's now bringing home to sell who to live for us in amman, jordan, because he is riley goldman, his band alger 0 from reporting within israel. what are we hearing? what are these right, he's telling us honda about this attack in beirut. the lots of developments over the last couple of hours. but 1st of these, really military announcing that this was a targeted and precise strike in the suburb of last year, which is just south of beta. its saying that it was targeting his bullet command center, a headquarters for the lebanese group, but they did not mention who the target of course of that airstrike was, but there was a lot of speculation. let's also talk about what we're hearing from is really government officials. now these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu was
9:16 pm
cutting his trip to the united states short. he will be returning to israel leaving new york at 8 p. m. local time. his office also released a photo of him approving this series of airstrikes in loving on from his hotel room in new york and officials speaking anonymously to his really media have said that he received the plans for the air strikes before he had even left to new york and these really defense minister you'll have to launch his office, releasing a statement and photo of him observing the airstrikes along with the army, chief of staff and other security and defense officials from the kid ya. that's israel's defense headquarters in tel aviv. but the army chief of staff has also have just wrapped up a security assessment saying that his role is now prepared for a maximum level of readiness and preparation on both off ends and defense. but it's important to remember some of the rhetoric from is really officials over the last several weeks saying that they now have
9:17 pm
a new goal to accomplish as part of the war effort. previously, there were 3 goals and they were all related to gaza. but this time there was a 4th wargol related to bringing back those evacuated is really is from those northern towns and settlements along the border. israel says they still have a lot of work to do when it comes to attacking his bola and continue it strikes and 11. and they say that they're absolutely not going to let up. and that they're even now fears of illumine ground invasion into southern loving on something of which these really military has been preparing for and home to tell us how it is ready public. what have views on what their opinions are on the potentially a ground invasion or a protracted war in lebanon as well . these really military says these are making preparations across the board and they have a lot of military maneuvers and types of mechanisms that she's bola husband yet
9:18 pm
seen, but that they are prepared to use. now when it comes to these really public. in fact, these attacks in lebanon are quite popular among these really public, especially those who leave in northern israel, who have not been able to go back to those areas near the border since they were evacuated by the government. on october, the 8th, there is actually somewhat of a joy among these really society now that israel has decided to do with the problem on it's northern border, it's quite popular across the board, even with members of israel's opposition, within the governments who are against missing y'all. who some of his political rivals had spoken out against him throughout the entirety of this war. but said that they supported the army operations in loving on because that there needed to be a restoration of the balance of power along these roles. northern border. now how long this conflict will last, we would go into a full scale war. of course,
9:19 pm
these are all things that are up in the air. israel has said that they didn't want a full scale war, but that they are prepared to fight once while at the same time saying that the time for a diplomatic settlement with his butler is no longer that that had expired quite a long time ago. so among these really society, this is quite popular, especially among those who live in the north, among these really government. there is some mixed reactions of support. there are some who say that they are happy. benjamin netanyahu has taken this kind of course of action, and then there are members of the far right of netanyahu's government who say he's not being tough enough, that there should be this ground invasion into southern lebanon, and that there should be an occupation of lebanese territory so there are a lot of views, but there is overall support for these really military actions and loving off. okay, thank you. i'm the sell hoot reporting to us from amman and jordan. that's head over to london. elders are a senior plus, got a smaller one, but shara joins me now. i might just pick up on that point there about then the
9:20 pm
possibility of the ground encouraging more want even this is riley forces succeed in advancing deeper into 11 and they are going to face heavy resistance from has paula it's it's not clear what the endpoint is. once they get into a situation like that, at what point do you declare victory then? yes, and that's why one wonders if they were invaded by not this could be, could be part of a psychological warfare to adopt the pressure on that. and then he's got the base society as i just bought it off to a sort of need. and given as, as it could be in such a way that they think there is a limited limited chance. now i'm right around the american i got transferred in to do some damage and software to increase the so called secure because on the side
9:21 pm
and part of the pastry teachers, of course or other features is that they use occupational stock number and on does not exactly improve the security of is right and they have to eventually be under the pressure off. has that came to existence after that, i think the same thing happened was with guns that eventually this david didn't leave cuz i did it into the legacy to join it. but they went to their troops from within garza now, then back to guys. i actually want to go back to the teachers that uh, what teaches them that their loss is by far greater than 10 gigs. here's the situation to get one done. not blowing guys up, making sure that they were told something in 2000 when they withdrew from live and on. so once again, there is no real rush for them to invade level,
9:22 pm
and except that they say, yeah, so sure of themselves that they really the story much of a has more or less infrastructure and drawing shows. and leadership is also for the they are drunk on our drunk on victoria and you know, as i said, i think it to america support that they think they can get away with something like that. i definitely still doubt it. but this precious part metric is ready to go back. it has really seated all extensions in the criminal minds what their button juice and what they've done in the west bank are typically what they've done even in syria. and god, does this stuff is the genocide now simply need to the findings that they have time today and they're capable yes of the story that much. it's not. they are very
9:23 pm
dangerous. bunch one always speak about israel is kind of strategic calculations and options about the degrading and destroying has boilers capabilities. moving its citizens it's, it's residents back to the north of the country, securing the north of the country. i mean, all of these conversations are fine, but i suppose it, the real question is whether or not benjamin netanyahu things a protracted boy with 11 and could threaten his political survival. it feels as i that is the fact that it will ultimately influence the direction of this will. that's kind of interesting again, to look at that, the important question to just start to perspective. also the 1979, a candidate for the agreement between us or an agent. is there a still possible supreme it was able to bring the strongest out of the country to that negotiating table and make sure it sort of neutralized. and so when katie
9:24 pm
to came the it's a no. right. and they thought that they were so to so far what just look, look, government. so the, the, the goals of the government, big getting shut on and so on the on but it, but one to one year later or 2 years later, the kids regret having the inside. if you remember, i'm like just extend a, it was nothing else. oh yeah, no fees and one more time decided that he was gonna see after that and vision and the mass and the massacres in, in south branch of the the in the seeds. so thats associated to the magic even though they, they dispatch the country they, they bought the hell out of there on the kitchen, has a po number on it to these. yes. but is there a security don't? does that improve?
9:25 pm
and clearly with verizon. busy it can even more so a danger to is right in the north. so now the idea that they would, once again do that, i expect that their popularity was on the increase of their to distribute. the government would forwarding to, you know, tells us that they haven't learned much of the decision in terms of over we choose whether it is in gaza or, or not. thank you for now. i'll just our senior political analyst model on the shower. joining us from london, let's not hear from our white house correspondent, kimberly alcott she's in washington dc. kimberly, what is the by did administration saying about whether they had advanced warning of this attack? yeah, well, what we're hearing, we've consulted with both the national security council as well as the pentagon.
9:26 pm
now the national security council says it's still gathering info from a broad range of is different intelligence sources as well as counter parts. but the bottom line is, according to the pentagon, the u. s. was not involved in this latest operation conducted by these really military inside lab and on what it says is, it also had no advance knowledge of the operation. however, what we do know is that the secretary of defense lloyd austin, was on the telephone with these really defense minister, young blonde. well, the operation was under way now. what details were shared about the extent whether there will be further developments that are similar in nature. we do not know. all we know is that the united states was informed of the operation as it was ongoing. now,
9:27 pm
what's dependent on spokesperson sabrina's saying is telling al jazeera is that the united states maintains, in the midst of all of this, that it's still believes that diplomacy is the way out of this escalation. and the escalation that we have seen ramping up day after day for more than a week. now, what's the goal of the united states is, is to avoid wider regional, middle east conflict. so what we're hearing is that the engagements that we've seen all week at the united nations general assembly between israel, between the united states and its allies, is going to continue what has been going on all week that resulted in that proposal for a 21 day cease fire that was put forward and that choice statement between the united states. brad a, g u as well as 6 other nations that was flatly rejected by the israeli prime
9:28 pm
minister in advance of his address at the un general assembly that took place on friday today. as well as uh, also uh when it uh was, is i apologize that my phone is going off, as well as, uh, the fact that it was also uh in advance of the strikes. so again, as the united states says that it is continuing to push for diplomacy is also working with a government that is and its allies that is flat out refusing diplomacy and rejecting the very proposals that the united states is offering as the means to end this escalation, i guess the thing is that with the, the full, the faltering cease via negotiations of gauze. and now the us, even if it is just paying lip service to efforts to try and bring some sort of
9:29 pm
hold to hostilities between 11 and israel. this attack that we've seen tonight, and they route how um, how is virus thing is this for the by did an investigation and for that sort of credibility this this is a smack in the face to the by and administration. it is a smack in the face to joe biden, the senior statesman who came into office offering his foreign policy experience, decades of it as a president, as a vice president, as a senator on capitol hill, going back to the early seventy's. this is a man that has known benjamin that's in yahoo for decades. they may not like each other much, but they have known each other and have had a professional working relationship for almost a half century. and so for this man to and to override that
9:30 pm
professional courtesy and the military aid, the, in the tune of billions, tens of billions of dollars threw out that friendship. professional friendship is a huge, huge professional. this courtesy and a disrespect to not only the united states, but to joe biden, personally, and there's no question that is how is going to be received by the united states and by many on capitol hill. you have to remember, even though joe biden is the president of the united states, these are co equal branches of government, the executive, the white house. as the legislative, the us congress, is congress that controls the purse strings. well, the, the bottom administration can say is really, it's more money call versus the one that authorizes it. so congress has the one giving the $4000000000.00 rather, and almost in military aid every year. and it was the one that authorized the
9:31 pm
9000000000 that it got again yesterday on thursday. so the fact that the white house in congress itself were pushing for diplomacy, wanting to see this to gas pollution attention to see benjamin netanyahu, who by, by the way, justin's rest, the us congress in very, and just in recent memory, just a few weeks passed, a aid to, to disrespect to the was congress as well as they are asking for peace and providing money for the israel security is, is again, a disrespect knowledge of a white house, but also to this legislative branch. it's not going to sit well here in washington . they're going to be many people here for going to be very, very angry with the escalation after they have cautioned the exact opposite. all right, thank you very much. kimberly alika reporting to us from washington d. c. i want to now bringing to he'd a savvy who is
9:32 pm
a john list. he joins us from to here on, on the reports here from the reuters news agency. so he's saying that it runs embassy and 11 and a said that the is right. the strike on the route southern sub a, represents a dangerous game changing escalation or and that they will bring it's pub, betrays, is an appropriate punishment. so that that's a direct quote from ron's embassy and loving. and how will it ron's leadership be viewing this attack and be route tonight as well as the past these living on has been bitten, a single series of the vast ending attire stuff have further estimated the patients in the region. and from the writing perspective, i think these events are seen as a continuation of a grand civic. i think it's aggressive action stand that this elastic the region and sort of failed attempts by these released to bring the rest of the brought to its knees. but it still says that the situation is further complicated and speaking
9:33 pm
of what happened today, either we consider it as a veiled clause or a psychological operation based by lies whatever we consider is that shows it that we see that these readings are formed. ready expanded about of lebanese lands after their strategy failure in gaza. and the rod is pretty much aware of this back if iran is pretty much uh, understanding the fact that they are trying to expand the battlefield as being as many players as possible into this already complicated battlefield. but the rest assured that to iran is closely monitoring the developments on the ground and directly assessing gets position in respect to the already complicated your political landscape. while so think i think there are at least 34, g points to be tested to reconsideration into accounts by to ron 1st. iran is going to support its regional allies,
9:34 pm
including capital line level to be seen the fact that they are fighting for the same cause. they are facing the same real read beyond rhetoric by israelis, and now it's getting more and more dangerous. the 2nd part is the strategy precision that the wrong is trying to practice thing in the past. mazda is because of basically the fact that any sort of miscalculation bronze, the risk of dragging the entire rest asia into a hole. this further complicates a situation that could be a full slash bowl out smart even beyond the region that is the most and welcome scenario on the table alcorto wrong. but it still be know that there is this preparedness from the rang and started to get involved in such as an area, if it takes place. and there is a certain points which could be a quote in the rest of the statements by raining a supreme either out on the hominy talked about the organizational strengths off the line. and he mentioned that if they just q bonded
9:35 pm
a longer to commander. this is going to be a loss that goes for sure, but still we have to be to see further from is belong noisy. and i can also tell you, okay, can i just can i just jump in that you've, you've gone through many, many different points. and now it was, seems that up until now, iran is very hesitant, very careful about being drawn into a minute, treat confrontation with israel, and it's probably conscious as leadership is conscious that that may be the purpose of all of this, especially with an american election foster approaching, i guess the question of to what we've seen tonight is what point iran will be drawn into the conflicts and whether or not it will be prepared to confront israel . if it sees that has butler is facing an existential threat. the for that question to be asked,
9:36 pm
it'd be have to mays but it's dino federal considerations are here into wrong 1st it doesn't take place possibly takes place in. busy they started the regular supreme that are closed for every autonomy ex, reaction after the submission of these my any i enter wrong as we know that that is not the only reason for this retaliation. the wrong has a lot of reasons, including affirmation, i was top ministry advisor in damascus as the attack on the consulate and the destination having a rainy and taught lucrative find. is this going on a lot, including the cyber attacks and a lot of other use does this part of this whole behavior is really so i think this army, you run have got sufficient reason to, let's say, respond bucks must be heard, must be, are hearing from to around is that they are not, they are not interested in getting crushed into the corner vantage cost to their retaliation. they're saying that they are not interested in being playing the game
9:37 pm
away and they don't want to spill the beans. we are certain based on luck be a hearing that at some point iran is going to provide these with this bit, a crossing response, but it's better it's, it's not the time of this that's not the match or better is the massive timing and the wrong as well, to get this is that the issue of timing, getting these are quality of this response, is a decision to be just isn't decision for the wrong to be met and not any other players just briefly speaking last we are hearing is on the basis of business days, months, the raw does not want to play in the playground big twist by west or he's literally these data that's more about viewing these days. okay, thank you very much. so he'd as id for joining us from that wrong with the perspective from that iris because of security in political affairs. alas, he is still in b route and with us now, i wonder if you might put all of this into, into context for us because we have about, you know,
9:38 pm
members of hezbollah so called high value targets being inside of this building. but really, when you see an attack on, on this scale, you have several high rise apartment buildings, residential buildings that now lie incomplete ruins. how much of a catastrophe is this for the civilian population that before 5. so the question allow me just to comment on the issue of the targets. i also heard from my husband last august. the 2nd has written something of the is safe. and i also heard the some of the main, so were supposedly targeted and coming to you have the liaison and coordination, you know, what they call a most always sites, according to the size of a muscle. she was one of the other names. a lot of people who is manuel, short commented, as possibly being handled targeted in this attack. so what does appear that the big advantage have of the photos?
9:39 pm
now, without the least of 2 possibilities, one is the to the is rate of association or tend to carry out to 2 types of out. i've seen you think it has fail. oh, these rays have taken out a significant amount. well, not one of the well known senior figures, one of those mountain military officials and like the one like for example, the only other comment is which these ratings have taken out regarding your question about the civilian population. indeed, this is something in our which should we haven't seen before. i was walking distance by the way, from the side of the explosion. the, you know, the situation. the civilians have been saying anything like this, steve and locations which slides quite far away from the actual side. go strongly the part of this blast. i think that um, this part of the pressure to be honest on his blog, and many people that are asking what is supposed belong waiting for why does any
9:40 pm
unleashed and even a much stronger attack compared to that rather measured operations which have taken place thus far. this little so structured knowledge of it has the last support thing in the bottom. and so there are many, many additional pressures i think, which makes possible last payment by it's a rather unique challenge. and i've been to another possible i haven't been able to wait, should it does, but should i, can i, can i just jump in that? what, what do you think it's as blog is now under pressure to respond? this is the challenge that facing. but the challenge is that challenge could become martin, that predicament could become much more difficult if they choose to respond to israel is attacked more forcefully. indeed, that's what i was going to say has been long, the pressure from 2 directions under pressure to respond to more forcefully, where there is a segment of the lebanese population which is calling for the salvage. so some of
9:41 pm
the people, of course, have supporters continue to be committed to believe in a strategy. you have those young people, if you would like to one each phone or some support the will ask you the questions, you won't have on the other hand, the domestic political situation on the, on the, the can only conditions that requires that pushes possible not to issue a whole school response, so there's pictures on possible as i said, from 2 directions. and now i think the challenge that lies really striving to the correct balance, we're trying to trying to restore a certain level of deterrence. at the same time, not we school not following to the is ready track of igniting on the or the office bullet has managed to strengthen that balance. but i think now it's much more challenging. and if israel was to embark on a, a ground incursion, how strong with the resistance be from has belong despite the injuries and the that
9:42 pm
the setbacks that they themselves say they have suffered over the past week. how would they be able to repel a ground incursion? by these riley's, my actual that i'm taking out the senior command, those little shades i think is, will have the big operation on impact on ground operations. he's very well hesitate cannot many of the military brains, if you would like us to ballade, but they're all of a military brand. so i think that the is randy approach is to try and make comfortable collapse from the boss. you know, the higher the high end of the parent and if you would like that actually is really the approach process that ations but the whole new level which we haven't seen before. but i think comfortable last we'll sprint drives base in the base of the current term. and if you would like, and the price is represented by supporters by have which $5.00 days and more importantly by audiology. so this is
9:43 pm
a huge barrels approach from strategy to try and make it comfortable. collapse from the above. i'm not sure that's going to succeed and i'm doubtful that this will have a great day impair. as of the last category piece to put up a very strong find shortly is where i will proceed with the ground. been imagine. okay, all of his fine, thank you very much for i'm speaking to us for sharing your thoughts on these developments here. and actually we do still have with us out of their senior plus got, unless moran bashar and what one is that perhaps a more caution will hesitancy inside israel in way not the decision of a a ground incursion. then they lead us to believe as well to answer your question i'll, i'll take it from one of your last guess left left to talk about the balance between what has been assigned to do is just wanted to. ready is that idea
9:44 pm
of uh, the sort of. busy issues around the corner is getting tired of it and it thinks it can change that balance. is that it doesn't want to maintain that the status quo. the board which has by law was very much ok with it in the sense of uh, shipping a weight is wrapped stability insurance security while maintaining your not comfortable situation 11 on the past 23 weeks receive is a escalate because it wants to break the back of the law break because the ongoing balances are on the north and change the balance of power that his boss tried to create between these are in favor of user to do that. it's not just that that thing has blown law. it's affecting them in the end of it, and she works at the residential buildings. if they didn't do some downs, is getting a master, a fax,
9:45 pm
i think getting stuck against the newspaper. and it expects that there would be results. how it seems that was by law is pursuing the so called a strategic patients. a strategy with is that this going to be a mattress on the sprint is going to be over the years, perhaps decades. nothing's going to be resolved over months. it's just not clear that the police have the patients that as a country can afford that much patients. so i wonder is pursuing strategic patience the patients because of the instability, the violence, the care. so on going uh there are tax and environments that are basically quickly the entire country. so it's not is betting on exactly that. they're not rising the, these people, these, the oven on and the degree even
9:46 pm
a greater pressure. i just want a lot to back though, is that but also moran, you just going back to what you is saying there? it's been almost a year since is riley troops. what we're fighting in gaza. they've not achieved anything that worn down. they're tired. i don't know, you know, they, that we get these headlines and, and the images of troops being deployed to the north. but that could be real readiness problems that, that were not aware of. because obviously that's not information that they would disclose. but if they, this will be a critical decision about whether or not they choose to go into the south because they will be off against some very tough honda and fighters. well, let's start with your assumption, which i think the strategies disagree with that that's not how is there to see the balance sheet. but when you know, of course,
9:47 pm
the defense form assumptions of a, to declare objectives meeting dimension, come us, bringing back the captives. one is that something else to my mind is ready to that is and has been destroyed guys. and the dates destroyed. so even of how about us, you know, is less intact or some of it. and even if there are a number of how much fighters and supporters still deployed or has it been panels and still holding on to a number of captives, how much is capacity is nothing by what it was 12 months. ready it's completely diminished as that goes to it. so even if how much some, somehow managers to come back and rule it out somehow by now it's gonna spend the next 2 decades trying to just have the alarms and build the infrastructure in
9:48 pm
progress in a truck. them signs that we don't know what is going to be exactly because that's going to maintain the seat. oh my gosh, so much. i know the construction without it. that's remember. i mean, i think a lot of our viewers around the world have been with just in, just for a year now. when the hospitals, the storage of the schools, the storage and the water structure stores the next structure that and destroyed speed, universities and so on. so 4 guys has been really bomb the bomb back to the store nation. so let's move on to, i think, can i ask you actually something just as you make this point, can i ask you because i was just speaking to a member of the lutheran humanitarian organization in lebanon, who said that the country stands at the precipice of a major humanitarian catastrophe with up to half a 1000000 people who could be displaced, no house having been driven from the homes. they will have lost their jobs,
9:49 pm
the livelihoods, any results as they may have had in the nobody's government is economy as in free fall is just not in a position to be able to help them. so are we likely to see now a similar scenario playing out the one you've just described in gaza? will we see the same thing in lebanon? so that's exactly what they have started with. remember, defense minister defense is going to face minister of foreign minister guides. and a whole bunch of other people and it is right to turn that into one of them doesn't mean that's exactly what this has to be 4 weeks or even months. that's exactly what they've been saying. and they've just thought of doing good over the last 2 to 3 weeks. so once again, this is the, this is what this is, the problem would work was i was doing this using the most capacity with the help of the united states that is continuously retention. cuz uh,
9:50 pm
it's all much in order to have the funds to have a lot of guys and use that to submit your forces in order to exist so much software and such a high cost on that. i but he's people as it did on the guidelines, in order for them to back down now does a different situation because it's been on the patient forever. nothing on it's been run out to be a free country. yes, it's been on the 1st. yes. it's been divided, yes, it's gone from civil wars. this it's gone to invasion, but rather speaking, let me sleep on that or the issues, but the solver pretty confident. oh my gosh. i've had to be patient. so the capacity for patients for suffering has something to say, my god. so, so what they're saying is, wait a minute. i mean i agree with that with the these people all trusting to the ongoing a situation. the thing was the needs people know where the hell out of the
9:51 pm
30400000000 times. why should you pay the price for the balance of power with this, right? what do you see? what is the walk? what do you think? what is the why should limit on once again be the price for this rest primes in guys, then from the side of yes to be on good is there a bit of the design occupies the use, is a continues to work in the security and continues to be one of them and i was on so forth. but it is not fair for the business people to continue to pay a price or other countries on the price lock. we do not have dishes out of understood leaders, you know, given us the bostic speech is, you know, resisting guys, right. the size of this, uh, this is not the same price as soon as well,
9:52 pm
thank you. out. is there a senior? this guy has more on the shower, showing his insight with us. thank you for now. and the one i hi, shim is still with us his entire, in southern lebanon. and i know that you have spent a great deal of time. great, you'll find many of these areas, but particularly in here, maybe you could just give us a little bit of, of context because this is an area that suffered math because during the civil war in the 1980s also suffered, it was in men's coming from is rainy bombardment of dia and 2006, but even with all that taken into account, how unprecedented is this attack we have seen tonight? it's well land. maybe this is one of the most of the biggest attacks in the history of, of the, the cold and the conflict between 11 and a district was never seen something like this. the use of tones of explosives
9:53 pm
follow me. one similar to a talk was just the last day at using the 2006 war when is with a raise, it completes a block in, in the, in the middle of the hill. this is probably similar to a but with more sophisticated weapons with heavy and weapons, the use of f 35 in the attack, and the did the raise of a complete lot along side with all the building. is that out that this is, this is a huge, is big of costs of buffy. it's a to, to, to many is, is somewhere where the old people coming from village is coming from towns with go to it's an outs gift. it's a summer just like any other sort of happens that has a lot stronger and it's been strong that induct today's due to 7 on factors. one of these factors is that doing this really occupational flip and on that started 1978 . all these young men went to the outskirts from the south or from the because they
9:54 pm
came to the outskirts and over that they started building these communities. there's that many communities and from there that it started, the idea stuff is from that i started growing and growing and it became the property. so it's where they grew up. and that's why that influential the strong over that. but other than that, it's also home to thousands and tens of thousands of people from different points of views. and some of them are even against has below and still have different point of view. it has also, and it's a fellow sitting in a refugee camp also on the other side of the street to the east of the hey, there are some christian communities living that i'm actually part of starcy was also had some christian communities. but during the civil war, they have to leave. so the fact is that it's, it has its own most i. e, it's, it's not as always, it's being described as a stronghold or husband orlando. lot which has will, of course,
9:55 pm
has its own presents that because of what i said before, right? so those people who the john one them, but actually you just want to say tell me what seems to the united nations, the saudi foreign minister. now you must do it for a while, but i didn't see it had little to take but the sort of thing. yeah. let me see what i sent it to you then. yeah, yes. in the mid 92 i'll hand it off to you and jet. thank you. well, as we always said, the without salt when get to the city any problem and then the self funding go for people to start to the next day. 1948. the region of the middle east will continue its time or stage upon his time to be established and on the ground as fast as possible. during the missouri end, security and the problems with them is the least. we are believers in peace and
9:56 pm
prosperity for all we think or countries that to come to us by this time. we also invite others to do the same. we think the contract rules are up in his stomach countries done a different job to support that says say towards the project, we believe that the un security council resolution, sorry, that you never know technician general assembly of resolution 10 days ago. is that very good start to end the commission, start serious effort to establish depending on state and ensure that the whole region will live in peace and prosperity. one central thank you. bye of this the i just said the only thing the letter because it has been to the see they to, to uh, to use it took my babies come inside in the country. i mean, um has some sort of paper to literally them if you guys looked into the,
9:57 pm
to use to use those attacks as the united states and saudi arabia and other countries are trying to assess options in order to de escalate this war and to prevent war against 11 on it's a sabotage that is expensive by israel, the, the official spokesperson only of the national security council that israel has agreed with this option. it's still going on as that has gotten. what are, what do you think you have is the preliminary information that we receive? they cannot comment about truth. however, the consensus is that we need to deescalate, we need to put an end to, to the fights. and we need to find a political solution within the framework of a context that would reconcile all the opinions and within the context of the war
9:58 pm
against casa, and also to keep in mind the posting in part. so we need to keep all those points in mind and we support the expense of the united states and france the to, for, to call it for cease fire. and we all want to see fire in gossip because destruction in the war will only bring more destruction and war. and it's not in favor of very reaching up to you. mister minister, it's pamela, far from us. news and world report is really part of minister called for better relations between the kingdom and israel, like as in the abraham accords given what's going on is that still possible? thank you. it was interesting to see that the prime minister in india, in his woods, in quite a lengthy statement about the issue,
9:59 pm
not the once mentioned, protest. i not once mentioned the palestinians. and this is exactly the problem. because without addressing the issue of palestine, it will not be a will, it will not be possible to reach the, to potential a regional peace and stability. so the crux of the matter is how to address the issue of palestine, whether should through what has been established in international law, the formation of a power states palestinian state. and that will indeed open up the horizon not just for normalization but also for integration. for cooperation, it offers huge potential for all of us in the region. but again, without addressing the issue of the palestinians. this is not going to happen on the question venturing that the yahoo frequently reference saudi arabia and his speech. i'm guessing just minutes only a here to authorize to destroy on
10:00 pm
a route. do you feel tripped up by the israelis in terms of him, referencing saudi arabia one also so i'm a single change is me talking by route. i mean, he can reference whoever he wants, our position is clear. and as i just stated at what we believe very, very, very strongly. and 1st of all, that to cease fire is necessary that the guns are not going to solve anything that we need to move towards a piece in our region. and that piece is families are rooted in addressing the protestant issue of the house. i'm sorry, she'll come south through was year after from it's going to exit and see i'm from the, from the as you know, mr. minister the.
