the dying us off to the hurricane now and you 0 what we do it all just there is try to find those 2 stories and he's the people who allow us into their lives, dignity and democracy. the israel county sophomore strikes on $711.00, known as the defense minister suggests a ground offensive is in, in the hello. this is all just here. a live from the i'm 40 batch and also coming up as well as deputy chief remains defined saying his alms, goofiest ready for any is really ground invasion. and guy is really a tax game at least 20, not a simians imagine c teams searching to rumble for survivors. and the death toll

from hurricane helene passes a 100 and thousands in the southeastern united states are still without power or clean water. the is 20 g m t. thank you for joining us. intends is really showing, has been heard in 711 known as expectations grow, that israel could launch a ground offensive. these are the defense minister. you'll have gone to said the next stage of the war against has belie, would be coming soon. in the past few hours, the armies declared close military zones in the north, for the israel, and treat to the town of mid to late on his route. supported with levin on has been prohibited the communities of coffee and get audi. and these guys are also closed. this comes as these really shelling and 11 on intensified with strikes and marsh. i used adding tie. they were also tax in the capital beveled and in the car valley

area you off kalonde visited areas on the northern border, where ahmed vehicles have been amassing and recent days, kalonde told officials in northern israel that ground and sea forces could also take part in action against has the law, several reasons brigades, i've also been called to the border shove above the next stage and the will against has below will begin soon. it will be a significant factor in changing the security situation and will allow us to complete an important part of the was goals to return the residents to the homes. this we will do, as i said here a month ago, we will see if the center of gravity, i say, now we will change the situation and we'll bring the residents back home. no matter what happens, it takes the whole let's get an update on the situation on the ground and speak to . i'll just hear as a mom con, who's in marsh i you and in 711 on him, ron, what have you been hearing along that is relevant on board or how intense there's a showing this out.

well there's been for the last 2 hours then a constant sound of drones flying or the hedge. you probably kind of hit them on the mike the i have both that's been punctuated by intense artillery showing coming in just a few seconds ago. and that seems to be repeated every few minutes or so. and it's happening not just where i am. it's happening across some lived on in was on the in him governor kayla in augusta in southern lebanon. now, a lot of those settlements along the buddha near here, these really settlements of basically been told that is now a close miller trees. and we've seen this before when these really all, we were preparing to go into the goals of the board and the board of towns with garza were turned into a closed village resorting. and it was a staging post for all the is ready. all tend to raise the tanks, helicopters, etc,

and that's exactly what they've been doing on the boat for the last 24 hours. they've been staging in those places. now we have had reports um the, the lebanese, all me have also been redeploying best, smaller units, closer to the boat, a check points, etc, back to the barracks. um, just one of them is just a few kilometers uh over the oh so what we're hearing from channel 13 these really channel is uh the, the is a fee of, uh that, uh, these ready soldiers, uh, going to face anti tank missiles, explosive devices, and cooling missiles, now that ties in with what we've been told by ministry strategies when it comes to what his bullet advantage might be. and his advantage is getting a ground offensive going. and then attacking israel on the ground is very difficult for them to defend from the air. and always alternately,

we shall. and that's going on just another one just then right. thoughts on the ground. uh they are a much tougher fighting force. now we just, oh, let me just ask you something. i'm on a issued a quick statement. i'll just read it to you very quickly. a go ahead read that statement and then i'll ask you my, my follow up question. okay, so the fill. uh, which is the ins room, but for some living on the peacekeepers effectively, they say they haven't received any information about is ready ground attack. but that concerned about the possibility of that occurring. and they've opened up channels between all parties to prevent and is really ground division invasion of southern lebanon. okay. im on it as we were speaking, some lines have been dropping here of the is really military, reportedly issuing an urgent warning for residence in some suburbs of the route to evacuate because they are planning strikes on has bullet targets there. so clearly,

the operation, not just along the border, but across lebanon. that's always been the fear that they is riley's would call it a limited ground invasion of limited ground incursion, whatever language they might use. but that would be drawn into a fight with hezbollah. and they would simply push it further and further into lebanon striking docket. we've seen that over the last week, it's designed to, to, we can as well as military leadership. and that's exactly what has happened. many senior leaders have been killed in the last week or so. so the fact that they were wanting residents to get our means that they are preparing the ground for something, it's likely the language is there, from the use. riley's is likely to be a ground offensive. what that shape it'll take,

where it will come from is and whether it comes from us directed over that towards him, or whether it comes from behind has the lines which as well as a very strong presence in this area and, and beyond. so that's a down, so these where it is, we don't know what, what this is going to look like, but we know that it is very likely to happen with in the next few hours. that's the language, the very strong language that it these readies are now using. okay, and we're on. thank you very much. we'll leave it there for 9. of course we'll check in with you throughout the evening and night here on i'll just hear with the latest developments from that border between israel and 11 on let's check in with him the side of hotels in amman, jordan, because he's really government has $5.00 here from a 14, from israel. how, what are you hearing on your end? we've heard the us confirm that israel has been conducting limited incursions into

11 on this evening. what are you hearing on these really side and what's likely to happen next as well, we're just getting worried that that security cabinet and meeting that had convened earlier in the evening is now complete the issue of a ground invasion was the top agenda item though, as ministers and through the government were discussing it and it's been widely reported in is really media that the army was just waiting for the government. okay, for the approval for the vote in order to go in. but nonetheless, these really military has been making all of its preparations and the rhetoric from the very top of these really government, like the defense minister, you'll have the launch points to an imminent ground invasion. the army chief of staff that has been speaking about this as well within the last several weeks saying that his role is gearing up for this exact type of operation. but earlier in the day go and has said, but the assassination of his below was simply not enough that there is still

a lot is really needs to get done in order to destroy all of his bowl as military capabilities. and that the next phase of the war against the 11 youth group is imminent. and it will be critical to achieve the goal of re bringing back those as relays have been evacuated from the border, as well as restoring the balance of power on the border. and what more have that, can you tell us about these 3 border times that have been closed off in northern israel? a woman toola is a settlement and israel's norris. and that settlement in the areas around it have a population of roughly 2000 people. but this is a close militarized zone. if you're actually standing at the top point in the city, you can see syria on the right and loving on. on the left. this is an area that has now seen a lot of military i locations toward the border. the army now has checkpoints leading up to the area, but it's important to mention the various areas along these rules. northern border

have been blocked off since the beginning of the war on october 8th, last year when the cross border fighting began. and a lot of these areas were largely evacuated, but now the military is setting up there. we understand there has been, are a lot of artillery that's been fired into the lebanese territory within the last several hours. but it's important to note also that the army is calling this a limited round invasion, something an operation that would be small in both size and scope. but we have to mention that this would be a full invasion into a sovereign lebanese territory. i'm to thank you very much for that. that's helped us on hold 314, then i from amman, jordan, now us present, joe biden has responded to reports about a possible is really ground invasion into 11 on at a press conference in the white house. here's what he had to say. here's where maybe now launching unlimited operation and 11 on. are you aware of that? are you comfortable with their plan? i'm more aware than you might know and i'm comfortable with them stopping. we

should have a ceasefire now and a spokesman for the us state department has also commented on these ras military activity on the border calling for restrained john henry and has more not from the state department at the state department. topic number one is whether is real will launch a full scale ground invasion of 11 on spokesman. matt miller says, the u. s. as in contact with israel, and israel has indicated that his ground operations are limited at this time. that doesn't preclude a larger scale invasion. he also reiterated the u. s. position that israel does have a right to defend itself. and he said that the us position is that it's focus right now is on a cease fire. as long as that is coupled with a broader and diplomatic solution, but when it comes to the big question of whether israel is prepared to launch a major ground invasion as experts say, it appears boys to do this is what he had to say. they have uh, at this time told us that those are limited operations focused on as blog

infrastructure near the border, but were in continuous conversations with him about it for months, from the white house. and from here at state, the u. s. has been calling for restraint for a cease fire and for an ultimate diplomatic solution. so far it appears it has received none of the above. john henry l g 0, the state department. as discussed, these latest developments now with a heavy hours of security on listen. senior associate fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace is joining us from cairo. very good to have you with us on algae 0. when you look at the latest developments, the intense showing we've seen a long, these are 11 on board and the last 2 hours is we're out in the last 2 minutes wanting residents of somebody will suburbs evacuate. what does this signal? what phase of the war are we heading into the thank you have for having on your program. so i think all of this talk of, quote unquote, unlimited incursion until 11 on i really ought to be dropped. this is the same sort

of language that frankly vi vladimir putin used when he invaded ukraine. this is an invasion of loving on, on the southern border by the israelis. we've already seen reports of the tanks. the strikes are meant to clear the way. and i think that we ought to take this very seriously. there are no breaks on israel as offensive in this regard. i think these rubies feel that they have momentum that they ought to take advantage of it. they don't feel like there's any real leverage being use against them from the united states in order to stop. so regardless of the rhetoric that might be coming from the white house at presence about a president about a ceasefire, right? unless there's actually, um, you know, a carrot to go along with it and a step. so i stick to go along with it. then these are, these are only paying attention to the current. so let me ask you about the

military movements, specifically, officials not on the record, have told dodges here. that is really commando units have made brief incursions as to where they using already and 11 on when you look at these movements, how, how do you see it all on folding small, are we going to see small incremental incursions into lebanese territory similar to what we saw in gaza before they go all in. i mean it's, it's very difficult to understand what the operation is going to entail the say they want to allow residents of northern israel to limit to return to their homes. but what will be the extent of that operation? anything as well as i said they, they don't feel that there are any breaks on this operation. so i think these rarely as you go as far as they think that they have capacity to go as far into loving on as they have um whether or not they go full force to begin with. or they move up increment to the, as frankly unclear,

but i wouldn't be surprised if they moved hard and fast in order to take advantage of the month them that they have. and the question will be where they stop, frankly, and southern loving on how far north they go. right. remember when they 1st evaded in the 1980s? again it was uh, it was turned to something that was going to be limited, and it didn't end up that way when we looked at what's happened over the past year . we've seen a regular statements from these various things there when they got to go this far, they're only going to do this much, but then something happens and then they go further and further. and i think we will have to be very concerned about the human cost that this will be up on the lemme nice indeed. and i want to ask you about the, the impact of israel's elimination of hezbollah as military command. i mean military strategist, i've always said in the past that i browned invasion would work and as well as advantage. but is that still the case today after the survey blows the group

suffered, especially in the last 10 days, can, can they still defend 11 on from an, from a full blown he's really gone to innovation as well. this really is have superior firepower, they have superior air covered. they have superior weaponry. that will be a cost that will be paid by these re, these in terms of a guerrilla war that will be followed by his by law. and i wouldn't be surprised if others joined in, in that regard. but i, i don't, i don't think that the, uh the, the organization of his butterflies going to the. ready the whole back and is really invasion. um, it may start down, but i don't think they have to hold back. i, i would say though, that when it comes to the, the command structure of his butler, they've already, i think, announced that you know, different people are moving up in the rank. so they have these various, haven't destroyed as butler, they've taken out a huge proportion of its top tier,

but then those 2 to and those 2 or 3 and his bundle is a, as an organization of several decades. and i think that they have already started moving people up and the ranks in order to take control of the organization when it comes to the ard. so the reading, the weapon rate that has by law has this really so certainly degraded that quite significantly. the question is how much and how much of it will now be used for targeting and is really the ground defensive. we'll have to wait and see. indeed we'll have to wait and see. thank you very much for talking to us about this ha heavy, a security m as in tina associates, i look at the kind of getting diamond for international p. thank you for joining us on arches here. well as well. it says it's ready to confront. is there any tools if they launch a ground defensive vent 11 on the goose deputy leader made the comments in the 1st public address after the assassination of the secretary general assigned a pass on this rela ali. osh him has more from be able the principal law has

broken its silence. a senior member of the group address support this video message 2 days after confirmation that the to happened. this will be killed. the us as a nation is left to communication vacuum. the deputy secretary general named customs tried to bridge. the says the group is standing strong as the law. what's the matter on the ad that has been it will continue with its goals and its presence in the field. the command system in the moods or hygiene will continue following your plan. our dear secretary general with the same precision and the steps you have drawn up the cost him also says that despite what he described, i see just those physical laws. internal structure remains intact and you secretary general would be pointed as soon as possible as a shift named cost them. some of them. who did, he reassured supporters of the resistance along with has the law fighters on all

fronts, including those on the battlefield. saying that despite the killing of us on australia as well as leadership remain safe and that there is command and control hasn't been term leaders. the nothing about plans for this one less funeral. next ready minutes risk getting off from the from a mux and you phase and the conflict on sunday night it goes out, strikes him to call a neighborhood for the 1st time hitting any of. 6 of a root outside the southern summit. i know the indication of the escalation is the mass thing of his really thanks on the board. that was living on already nearly a yeah, fighting has been the most sustained hostilities since the 2006 war ended with united nations resolution, 1701 which but has go lot for what, but i think between the lights on the river and the blue line the on official border with these red is what it was meant to remove all its troops from lebanon

territory. however, to date, no, i the side has ever fully complied with the terms. now, prime minister, and as you mccarthy says, diplomatic solution might be possible. no kind of man will start doing all the wheat and 11 on already to implement un resolution, 17 o one. and immediately upon the implementation of the seas, $511.00 on is ready to send the lebanese army to the area south of the matoney river and carry out its full duties and coordination with un peacekeepers in the south for that spot. that is where the government has ignored pools for the ceasefire, reiterating that the bone, bob mental flood been on, will continue on to it's safe for people involved and is ready to return to their homes. i mean, how should i just see it? all bill is coming up after the break on al jazeera. we'll take a look at some of the days of in use and asylum seekers in greece. say that losing hope as the german government times controls when they see you on
