2:02 am
really? yes. right. so i've hit the southern suburbs of beveled, a series of loud explosions were had across the city just after midnight. those attacks came shortly after is really forces. we don't get the same tactic. a visually key arctic evacuation. notice that we have seen in god. meanwhile, the northern israel, the army, has declared closed military zones, and 3, to the time of me to lie on his raz border with levin on has been prohibited the communities of coffee. i get id and ms. gov and also close. while we have a team of correspondents covering all angles up is developing story in washington, d. c. beveled, marsh, i you, in southern lebanon. but 1st we go to amman. jordan, where have the son, who is and across all the latest slides coming out of his route. have the in just the last 2 minutes. a statement from these really military confirming that has been conducting limited incursions into 711 on of
2:03 am
the, into sovereign lebanese territory. an army statement said that this actually began a few hours ago after the approval from the political echelon within israel. these are the meetings that we've been talking about over the last couple of hours that included these really prime minister, who's the security cabinet. and then other security and defense officials, the army says that 1st they launch these what they called targeted and precise rates based on intelligence. and that they are going to launch this offensive on the ground in order to achieve their goals of restoring the balance of power along the border as well as returning those evacuated is really back to those townsend settlements that have been evacuated since the cross border fire. began these really army has said that they are looking to target his bullet post and other military infrastructure in the border area. it does not say how deep they plan to
2:04 am
push into 11 east territory, but make no mistake. this is now a full is really invasion into 11 on, and they're saying that this operation, which they are labeled no than arrows have that will continue in parallel with the, the war on gosh, this is quite interesting because after a year of little to no military achievements in gaza. these really military has now launched a new war in lebanon. and this has been of major concern, not just city is really public, not just to the palestinian people, but to the entire world. in nearly 42000 palestinians killed in gaza. and nearly a 1000 lebanese people have been killed now in this latest escalation. so these rallies are saying that they have a lot of goals to achieve, but now these are goals that are pertaining directly to the north. but let's talk about some of the parallels of what we saw. these really is when they were 1st
2:05 am
looking to invade gaza. they had conducted several artillery and showing strikes. there was a lot of air strikes in the area, the troops amassing near the border tanks, military equipment, close militarized zones. this is a pattern and we saw nearly one year ago. and it happened again over the last couple of days on israel's northern border where there is now a full invasion into loving on. i'm die. thank you very much. i'm the son who lives there in amman. let's find out what's happening along the border now and speak to him, ron khan, who is a marsh, i you and in 711 on. so these really easy mon confirming that they've begun this limited with economy and limited ground, offensive into 711 on talk to us about what you've seen and heard along the board. are these last few hours? well that continue is showing, is it still a going on that now it continues showing it is still going on. now these randy
2:06 am
armies statement is actually said some lights on what's been going on here. these like these really say this is a limited, localized and targeted raid against his bowl of towers, how it gets in the border area of southern lebanon, of what we've been hearing over the last few hours, is intense, showing as strikes and drawing strikes in full particular places, which is not very far away from where i am, which is borne, the brunt of the onto the reselling was on a couple of kayla and address. yeah, so it's likely that the limited, the limited localized rates are going to be on the area. the artillery is now clear, was the saw from the ground as it was trying get as many his bullet flight is away from their infrastructure and then and then destroyed these. this infrastructure is very close to the, the, the villages that is all once it's residence,
2:07 am
to return back to. however, if they get bogged down, if they get into a ground rule with has below them, they'll have to move forward, they'll have to occupy more territory. so limited, localized invasion, right, offensive, or all that is going to be very difficult to maintain. if has bull decide to fight to fight back. right. and they've been reports in run that the lebanese army has been leaving some of the border areas, say, where what's happened with that, where they headed to. so what the lebanese allow me have done is any of that boat, the post or check, post post need. uh, the actual buddha. uh, they've just basically shut them down and they brought the troops back to the barracks, uh, in southern lebanon. these right, uh,
2:08 am
the lebanese army has evacuated all of those places. um, put themselves back in the barracks. this is something that we've seen them do before. they've done this in 2006 as well. the thinking behind it for the ministry strategist is that this is a war for against his bullet. by is ro, if the lebanese army get involved, then it suddenly becomes a will by his role on lebanon. so that's why the lebanese army have withdrawn back to the barracks. they calling it a tactical re deployments, but has bullet have also issued a statement just very quickly. they say that they sailed. and these really a force of the gate of the should to the settlement with the author, the temporary shells of achieve directed, that's likely to be one of the positions of these ready on the have come in 2011 on from. and they also say they've gone on to hit the teen targets during the day,
2:09 am
so that ground defensive is now happening. these rarely say it's localized, it's limited in scope. that's the kind of language you've also heard from the americans as well, both. okay, let's see how this goes. yes, as below straightened as always, being to fight on the ground. come on. thank you for that team. ron con, live there in marsh i, you and 711 on. let's find out what's happening in beveled the lebanese capital because they were in 10 says crime as strikes there. in the last 2 hours, we heard some heavy bombing and warnings from the is ready army for some residents of the some suburbs of able the southern type of sea evacuate dorset . jabari is in the lebanese capital for his bring us up to speed with what's happened to the door. so a lovely is rarely mirrors had military carried out at least 7 airstrikes and the southern suburbs of the capital,
2:10 am
including neighborhoods, oven bears, as well as a lackey which is close to the airports. now, based on the 4 digit we've seen come out from those neighborhoods in da here, it appears that residential buildings were once again targeted and at least 4 or 5 of the residential buildings have been completely leveled in certain neighborhoods . now, according to these rallies, they didn't put out a warning issue and residents to evacuate certain areas within da here saying that they're going to be using a full force to attack what they called. whereas the law, so strong assets within these areas and these neighborhoods, but to many people are telling us now that they have also struck various other neighborhoods that were not part of the back to ration order. of course, all this comes as we are now. see, is really boots on the ground onto lebanese territory, and this is not the 1st time that the people of it all will wake up to the news in
2:11 am
their country to hear that this has happened. this will be the 4th ground defensive that israel has carried out on 11 on since this country became an independent nation. and 1943 is rarely troops invaded levon on and 1978 in 1982 in 2006. now, october 1st 2024 will be once again remembered as the day that israel entered the lebanese territory. indeed, and the warnings issued to residents of those 7 suburbs of february, charlie, a t vacuum wait. i mean these are densely populated areas, especially one of the bush out back and the refugee camp, which is full of palestinian and syrian refugees. these evacuation order is coming in the middle of the night, way to the people go, in that case, stores what is very difficult for them to move. first of
2:12 am
all, they don't have the financial means to be able to afford a transportation to get out quickly. we actually met some people from the refugee camp salience who were forced to flee last friday when those large air strikes targeted a necessity to pass on natural law on friday in da here. and the assembly i spoke to told me that they are living in a nearby park where i'm from, where i'm standing in downtown bay roads. and these were syrian refugees who left syria and 2013. and they've been living in this registry refugee camp since that and now yet again, they are displaced with a loving on they've been living in a park and waiting for help from the love in these governments. but really they were shocked. and as they left their home very quickly, the one of the women telling me they didn't even have time to put on their shoes before they fled. then they returned home after the lord strike to place only to realize that the strikes will continue. the area of dire husband heavily bombarded
2:13 am
over the past 10 days or so as the residents are pretty much, most of them have fled many by force. others by any other means they can. it's very difficult situation for them, but some of them are still living on the streets, not very far from where i'm standing, waiting for either in jewels or the lebanese government to help them. and we've just heard from the head of unicef at who has said that, over a 1000000 lebanese have been displaced, all of that were over 1300000 are children. so you can imagine how critical the situation is, but loving his government along with the world food program have launched a flash campaign to ask for mode aid and the world food program. a says that they need at least $30000000.00 just to be able to feed the people that have been internally displaced for the next few weeks. so the situation is very, very dire, given the latest development that we're seeing on the ground in loving on it can a only and imagine it. yeah, of course. yeah indeed door. so thank you for that door. so jabari live there in
2:14 am
beveled for us present. joe biden has responded to reports about these really ground defensive and 11 on at a press conference in the white house. here's what he had to say. here's ro, maybe now launching a limited operation in the 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 let's get reaction with my kind of in washington d. c for a. so these release of not confirmed that this began what they're calling this limited ground, offensive into lebanon. what is the us positioning all this, mike? and what can you tell us about the additional true set? the pentagon is the going to the region to slowly us is making it statement, saying that it continues to defend israel's right to defend itself. and they have been diplomatic, con, contact says us,
2:15 am
but the details of those diplomatic contents as not being made whatsoever as to those proof reinforcements will the pentagon is not confirmed that more troops are being sent into the theatre? now what has happened is that there has been an aircraft carrier stripe force in the region for a long period of time. it was due to be replaced by another carrier stripe force headed by the heavy of truman aircraft carrier. but now what is happening is that all the forces in place will remain there. so essentially what is happening over the next few weeks is that the us will be doubling the amount of personnel it has in the region. but talking about up to $40000.00 people, the pentagon said that's what we'll be moving in as well as additional fine to get across, obviously on the aircraft carriers and then the aircraft stripe pause. but it does appear that there is a ramping up of the us presence in the region. and as this trumping up is happening, mike, the bottom administration has been repeating the same rhetoric as it's been doing
2:16 am
and in gaza. does this washington, does a brighton administration? does he have any sway influence over next now? and what he does in the reach, as well for months, abided and administration called for a ceasefire in gaza. the over the past few days, it has been calling along with its allies full a c spot in the living on at the israel has listened to neither of those calls we will in gaza. it has continued as we see the wall in 11 on now apparently intensifies and even escalating further. now the by the end administration has repeatedly called for a de escalation of violence that is currently not happening very much the opposite . so the question does arise, what kind of leverage or what kind of influence does the bite in administration have over the next and yahoo government, given the fact that it is called was the spies on so many occasions, the nets and you all administration has simply ignored the schools and carried on
2:17 am
doing what it is doing. so the us sits back and says, yes, we defend israel's right to defend itself. however, at the same time, it doesn't appear to have any power to influence the way in which israel conducts what the us says is the self defense operations, which is now very clearly a, a, a ground offensive in lebanon, which may be the prelude to something even great to mike, thank you very much for that. that's my kind of live there in the washington dc. please realize being reinforced, it gets northern command in preparation for a potential. ronda sold into $711.00 on the $36.00 division is already there, mainly made up of artillery and tank brigades. recently, the 98th division of patrick was, was deployed to join them. the soldiers have seen extensive come back and guys are in the past year and 2 visa, free days have been called up to join his 30000 soldiers already there. most likely
2:18 am
there was a free gate of the 98th. i sold 3000 more, highly trained evelyn shops and reserve ahmed brigade with 4000 most soldiers and tanks. this unit has been training for a possible invasion scenario. and these are the military has released a statement denouncing this ground defense. if a spokesperson said, the idea of the got unlimited localized and targeted ground rates based on precise intelligence against has bullet terrace targets and infrastructure in $711.00 on, it goes on to say that these targets are located in villages close to the border and bows and immediate threats to is really communities in northern israel. these are the air force, an idea of artillery or supporting the ground forces with precise strike on military targets in the area. while i'd speak to greg stoker about this is a former us army special operations member, and he's now a political analyst for mint press news and is joining us live from texas. thank you so much for being with us. great. so that they're describing this as
2:19 am
a limited localized and targeted ground raise. what does it mean exactly and limited, but to what extent, who defines those limits as well? like a lot of, of the ideas, operational objectives, the language is very vague. so it's kind of hard to determine what the exactly their goals are. it began early over the past couple days with limited special operations grades to gain intelligence, to engage forward operating posts for hezbollah, and basically engage and to be capabilities. now they're following it up with a combined arms ground force with tags, infantry and artillery. when it looks limited, that's a pretty significant force. they're sending in, they're based off of the units. they have a mast, according to their long stated goal. it's their desire to roll hezbollah up to the
2:20 am
tiny river so that they can re deployed air defense artillery systems in the buffer zone and move the northern side of the is really citizens back to their homes. now, i don't invision that. this will go at exactly according to plan benjamin netanyahu was writing in on a wave of public euphoria up to the mass of blows done that has blue. however, they are still completely capable of independent action working in units working in teams, just like they did in 2006 where they're able to heavily a trip is rarely tanked divisions. right. i was going to ask you about that about how his bullet might respond. keeping in mind the severe blows is sustained in, in the last 10 days or so. and, and, and you know what sort of tactics we might expect from hezbollah. because all i'm associating the past that if they were to be a ground invasion then as well, i would have the upper hand here that there would be in an upper position and
2:21 am
a better position if there was a guerrilla war going into 211 on today. what, what's your take on that? and given the number of, of tools israel is deploying and this what they call the limited operation, how far do you think they're going to go into level as well? their stated goal is to get the northern residents back. they're going to have to push pretty far. and what was the one thing we have to understand is that is real, is a country with not a lot of strategic depths, which means there's not a lot of stand off distance between the front lines and their population centers. so they're going to try to push forward, they're gonna have to hold ground and they're going to have to be fighting has bullet gorilla teams. and like 4 to 12 man inside tank squads of perhaps in their back field because they have honeycomb their entire military infrastructure and sophisticated for to by tunnels that are as just as effective there or more so effective then what, how moss has been able to
2:22 am
a trip the idea of forces in gaza with right. and then they conducting this operation, this offensive brand defensive 11 on they say in parallel with the ongoing campaign in gaza. but how long can they sustain that? a war onto funds? are they capable? there's a go ahead. oh yeah, well they, they have a financial and munitions support as well as political cover from the united states . yes, they're having to call up preservice. most of these reserves are conscripts essentially after 2 years. you don't really still don't really know how to do your job effectively. these aren't professional soldiers, unlike some of the has bullfighters that all they, they do this essentially for a living. so how effective will they be in, in ground combat? most of the, yes they do have some veteran units going in there, but most of these reserve is have seen as their military deployments
2:23 am
a in forcing apartheid and check points in westbank. so that's another consideration. we don't know how long there will be able to maintain both the action and goes with the action to the north. and there's also everyone needs to keep in mind. there is a multi brigade level action in westbank where they're clearing a refugee camps and northern were pushing down further and further south and the west bank as well. so how long will they be able to do this? well the far right government right now is pushing for it. it says it's in agreement with the military command echelon, but we've seen cracks between the 2 parties, the political and the military command. and we're, this is kind of unprecedented. we're still waiting for an a randy and response, but what we're, what it's going to be the main factor i think is how many casualties are going to be produced on the is really side has blood really gets stuck into the fight because they historically have a very low tolerance for taking maps casualties. right. uh, it would be um,
2:24 am
quite interesting to see what happens as far as the hezbollah response is concerned and what that capabilities are today given and again the prostate sustained in, in recent weeks. i wanted to ask you about the us position specifically. now. we've heard the pentagon said that it's putting his troops on or on stand by a that they are unprepared to deploy order. what does that mean exactly, and can we envision the us going in, in support of israel use? well, 1st of all, i've seen a lot of sensational as news articles over the past week talking about the 100 and 1st airborne deploying to the middle east. that was a rotational shift. they were replacing the tents mountain division with a combat aviation forget which is still a lot of combat power, but it's not a lot of bits on the ground. so a lot of the trip deployments i've seen so far, just rotational attached to operation. inherent resolved the anti ices action of task force. so we still are waiting to see which active duty units get
2:25 am
a deployment orders. that's kind of hard to keep secret. so if they are going to activate and move entire divisions or battalions of active duty combat troops from the united states to west asia, that will be a big indicator of what the intent, based off of how many troops they want to send. and the type of units will be able to determine and interpret us intentions, right? if israel hypothetical here is pushing for original more as many say it is. is it clear where whether the us will be fully prepared to commit to such a force as well? that's the real kicker. so i was since the beginning of this conflict, let's call it that the us has been playing de escalation, games with the wrong. the other country clearly wants to escalate into a regional or the us, a us assets, military bases. personnel, oil interests,
2:26 am
are completely vulnerable to mass attacks from a ron and from the other axis forces. and likewise, the u. s. can do a lot of damage to iran and vice versa. the u. s. is now has shifted after the end of the global war on terror. 2 more proxy fights instead of opting out for a direct engagement. there's a huge political support problem for more in depth and it was, and the got to have to keep in mind that the u. s. army is having a massive recruiting and retention crisis. so when it comes to national security interest, that's something they have to be very careful about which conflicts are popular, which ones have enough consent from the public to engage in and the consent from the american public. i know, believe in the recruiting numbers are reflecting this, that this is a good one to get engaged on. greg very interesting. just talk to you about this. thank you so much for your time and for your insight. greg stoker,
2:27 am
a former us states army special operations member joining us there from texas. let's continue this conversation now with lauren score, who's a former us assistant secretary of defense and was in the defense department during the 1982 invasion of 11 on his joining us from skype. from washington d. c. 1982 we saw is really broncho. so into 111-2006 now 2024. what is your reaction to these latest development? see is really, is a calling it a limited round operation into 11 on? is that the case, or is it going to go for this a that question directed to me? yes. not knowing score. can you hear me? do you want me to answer it now or? yes, you can, you want a live? thank you for joining us. okay.
2:28 am
i was asking you about your reaction noise to these latest developments and to do what israel is calling a limited localized and targeted ground. read into 11 on this has happened in, in uh, 82 in 2006. and now in 2024. what will be the extent of this operation you'll hear well, i say basically what the united states needs to ensure that when israel says it's limited, you know, invasion that it doesn't get larger and larger because what their view was limited and the rest of the united states is probably very different. i think that they will feel, although it less they go in and take all of a room, for example, that is limited, whereas we're concerned about them and trying to destroy has the law, all of its military capacities cause
2:29 am
a large number of civilian casualties only for what they say they use reality is a limited attempt to been able to get their 60000 people to move back close to the water by. but i think there are people in israel who are going to say, let's get this all we're watching for all, let's go to be wrote and put in our own government. but lawrence to do, do you think this is really a limited one when they've deployed the 36 division, the ninety's division, and you know, some reserve free gates of up to 30000 soldiers. it doesn't sound like unlimited operations as it certainly jobs. and as i say, the, as rarely as my call it limited, but the united states and all of the other countries that are focusing on what's happening in the region, i'm not going to think this is limited. they'll think this is pretty substantial. and that, of course, is the case thing. what can we do to keep as real,
2:30 am
from doing these quote unquote limited invasions that are really almost all out invasions bodies is ever us winning uh or interested in limiting this well, we are not interested in having a large scale war between israel and has bloss slash level and then and that by and large we, one of the co white y as in the white house and, and the bottom administration put more pressure on israel. what say that again, if that's the case, if you say uh the us is not interested in a full scale war between israel and how has the law in 11 on why has they've been more pressure from the white house to bind administration in this case? well i think i hope there has been,
