6:02 am
it strikes throughout monday, paved the way for a ground offensive, which as realities will be limited, localized and targeted against his bloss science. we understand that these rates have per bed at least 18 brigade, so we talking about between 72100000 soldiers. and if we look at the composition of this trend, so pet spa is made all mainly to miss side units. and the special forces is ralph, is this ground operation is being supported from the yeah, a strong kid that i know who it can be. aside on the largest colors to be in camp and living on in the southern suburbs of bi route were once again targeted in civil lod strikes. the blind and administration sees it was told of as well as ground defensive in advance. there's nothing in principle that israel is doing that the us disapproves of. they disapprove of tactics,
6:03 am
but not of the overall strategy. they want to cease fire, but they agree that this really should continue to go after him us. this is the same thing and level now the strikes weren't limited to living on. so reinstate media, seed an attack and killed several people, including a journalist in the capital, damascus. callahan, i'll just here to talk to him, of corresponds, is covering all angles of this developing story in washington dc. i'm on eastern level comes back on volley for us, we're going to hand it to bay, which i'm ali hash them out and just bring us up to date with what's being happening. particularly of course this attack on the palestinian count. we've been talking about robin the last few i was the vin and the stock on the i knew the headway, palestinian refugee con. it's a densely populated refugee town to force the south goes to the city of the site
6:04 am
and with more than $150000.00 refugees living the along side with also some thousands of uh, sagan, refugees, that information coming from the same desk. they have all several casualties bought a rescue teams austin, facing a lot of difficulties getting into the refugee kind of given the fact it's a very narrow road, send a lot of buildings the, the before it far saint that the 4 buildings destroyed. and the thought gets off, this attack was a send you an uh, resistance faction figure his name is when the other locked off. uh, according to the news media reports, he has survived the attack for some members of his, somebody working on it. we've been talking over the last few days about people and they were seeing the attacks get closer and closer from the side of how people
6:05 am
reacting to what's been happening of what i just take you back in a few hours via today. when is ready to talk to the southern some of the 8 times destroying full buildings, thousands of people. actually, the southern suburbs is home for around 700000 people. these people have been leaving the southern subject of se gradually, over the past days. many of them probably on schools out on the router and all the seventy's area, some of them are in the streets just in fox. and right now it's raining, probably their life is really very difficult, and some of them are beneath the beach and those with that's a financial situation probably decided to go to a towel is all to homes or friends. so rent houses and the mountain all go
6:06 am
to syria and those very lucky you would find tickets to travel outside the country, but it's really difficult to travel outside the country. get be given the fact that only one airlines is functioning, which is the needs official cartier, the middle east. and it's really difficult to find tickets. so life isn't really easy for those people. the fact that the news government isn't shoppable off offering them anything because it's already in a, in a dire situation. i'm going to ask you about that because we are talking about a country where the, the liberties economy is, is really struggling. and it's politics have been in chaos for, for years now. and what kind of response is being offered if trying to figure told by the government. i mean, you mentioned that it was very level that they could do. i'd be able to achieve anything. it was the government said
6:07 am
this trying to open schools facilities across the country because this displacement has been taking place over the past 12 months. it starts to be gradually with the border line areas in sausages, around $100000.00 people. those are heading towards the cities, a safer cities, flush of fine, the what the baby boom may start on. things started getting hot and people started having get maybe larger displacements and now was they lose that number is if you, if you set on 1000000 people asked to them, the syrian refugees and the senior refugees now and the government is trying to cooperate with the united nations agencies with the n g o as a and right now we've vaulted ceiling about some countries offering,
6:08 am
given on some funds in order to be with the refugee crisis. but the displacement, the price is, but it's not really easy for a government in such a situation. it's just, it's just, it's a government, lots of crippling reasons and, and fact as well as a kind of how it goes its own efforts to give a better uh, frequency those people holler. thanks very much. indeed out a hash them talking to us from by route i want to go to. i said back, he's joining us from the back of the body and eastern loving on our side. you are fair. there have been several significant strikes over the last few days or so that you've been reporting or just tell us what you're hearing a yes, there's been an intensive series of stripes taking place and back over the last few days. in fact, i spoke to someone just yesterday that said the one of the nightstand experiencing
6:09 am
was one of the most intense since the start of this conflict. now the reason for these strikes because parts of back of idea considered has with the strongholds. and what is, what it has been trying to do is trying to target those strong, closed as target some of those weapons that fall as they say launch sites. so any other kind of has been the infrastructure, but as a result of those strikes that has been considerably damaged to tons of villages does resulted in and tens of thousands of people, the main new city, new york city, and refugee is crossing the border back into syria and that these people came to the board on the fleet of state and conflict, and now they feel that level not isn't safe for them anymore. and they've gone back to syria to back across the board. and it wasn't just suited and families also 11 needs families crossing the border because they feel the parts of the brown now and no longer a safe expression. the face of this is ready invasion. so thank you very much indeed. as i said, big bring yourself today from the back of the valley,
6:10 am
an eastern loving. i'm gonna go to stephanie deca, she's and jordan's capital of mine. and that's because these really, governments bandages either from reporting inside israel. what is the, is there any government been saying about what's been happening over the last several hours and the level of well, the only official statement we have at the moment is the army statement that launches and announces the start of what they are saying is a limited and targeted ground operation aimed at dismantling, has been the infrastructure from along the border. we're going to have to wait and see whether that is the case. they say in that statement also that basically this is going to be carried out in phases and these phases have been approved by the political echelons of course. that was the security cabinet that met monday evening . and that gives an indication that there is a plan that there are objectives. again, this is something that there has been
6:11 am
a lot of concern about the americans that said, we do not want to ground invasion. well, now we have the americans approving it. you mentioned earlier you had do effective defense lloyd austin told him to you, i've got the defense minister and saying that we support israel's objective of this dismantling. has been the infrastructure along the border. israel's concern is this . israel doesn't want another october. the 7th to happen. along the northern border because you can also argue if you push as well or north of villa tony river at the furthest that's 28 kilometers. they still have the weapons capability to target those northern front. it's seen that israel has become so emboldened, even if you're listening to either a non head was very densely populated. comp, israel seems to have a list of targets as well at the moment, and it is seizing on this momentum to finish every single um, you know, but it lets say books it wants to take of who to take out because it's not going to
6:12 am
get the opportunity that it has at the moment, but again, i think looking at this ground defensive at the moment, we don't understand that there's really face to face fighting on the ground between is ready soldiers and hezbollah, but now his bullet will be showing it's real times in the past, what about must have said this is what has while is waiting for come into our territory because you have the upper hand when it comes to fly or power. so it is, of course, incredibly concerning the, for the regional security for the lebanese. they have a bloody history with israel that occupied southern lebanon for over 20 years. and so we are in, again, we are in unpredictable times. and i want to ask you about this attack that we were talking about earlier. just was on a hush him about on the palestinian camp and be with them. my understanding is that they the, the target and forgive me and loving on the target has been
6:13 am
a fight to official. is it unusual for israel to target a fossil official? um i think it was the like some more it does were good. i need to double check exactly which section he belongs to. now i've been to a no headway. no headway is account, run back policy and armed groups. the lebanese army doesn't go in the lebanese factions. when i was there, at least they don't cross invisible lines of their own territory. it's almost like a their own faith. them, if you will, is extremely dense you populated when we say that it sounds so clinical. what that means is that you have to many alleyways if people are living very much on top of each other. but also if you look at the attack on cold off yesterday, uh these radio attacking the p, f l p the popular front developing the ration of palestine, not at all, nothing against the p l. p. it's what a significant group israel seems to be. uh,
6:14 am
you know, willy nilly running around taking out each target and it doesn't matter whether they are a densely populated areas. i was looking at pictures from and then headed with there and you have people running to an abilene's caring babies. the world is silent and speaking to a lot of my lebanese and kind of thing and finds i've been going in and out of gauze and for 19 years, nobody cares. they said they know we know that the world doesn't care what if they were white babies with blue eyes and blond hair. so many times you know, liberties and balancing your friends of mine have said look at you crazy. look how the world reacted. what if, you know, they were talking about air strikes on london on washington d. c. on television? like how with the world react to that we had good you ladies. when it gets ready to commentators who still speaks to us despite israel having kicked us out of the country saying, you know, imagine if the page or the explosion, imagine if it was the other way around. imaginative hezbollah had attacked is ready soldiers on vacation, main to them both and the country killed 500 people in
6:15 am
a day. how would the world react? how would they pull that? he said they would college a very cold kara, but when it comes to israel, everything seems to be green lighted. so you know, going back to a no headway. i got, you know, israel seems to be targeting whoever it wants. now wherever they are, um, because it's settling scores because it knows that it's not going to have the opportunity that it has. now. again, stephanie, thank you very much. indeed. stephanie decker talking to us from a mind. well, earlier us present, visual biden responded to reports about a possible is very ground, defensive and 11 on that. a press conference in the white house, the escrow maybe now launching a limited operation into 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 the pentagon has since released this statement,
6:16 am
saying that the secretary defense lloyd austin's called his is really count upon your goal on agreeing on the necessity of this monthly attack infrastructure along the border to ensure that has bullet cannot conduct october 7th, started a time, some issues, northern communities, the fans are going says a diplomatic solution is required to ensure that civilians can return safely to their homes and both sides of the border. and it says there will be serious consequences for a wrong. and if it chooses to launch a direct military attack against israel festival in washington, d. c, for us not to abide in the saying one thing, but the pentagon seems to be saying something else. where does the administration actually stand on this as well? i mean, you've got to look at the way it all starts up here. so 1st of all, i'm not subjective thought beat out. these are fairly common. we got these most days, particularly when there's been a major event by the killing of a smile and a role, how something goes wrong. and they tend to follow the same path. and right, they always talk about the support for risk violence as well as the right to defend
6:17 am
itself and they go on to acquire normally a ceasefire as well. what was interesting about that statement, of course, is the fact that it referred to a few things that essentially set to iran back off. you know, it said in the statements, the secretary administer alons, discuss the serious consequences for iran. it'd be events. iran choose it to launch a direct military attack against israel, and of course they also related to the fact that they want to make sure that there isn't some kind of repeat of october 7th but, but you've got to look at what joe biden said earlier, and this was a very short statement, the joe pipe major with this press conference. as we just heard, he said that he was aware of perhaps more of the we knew and they should, they should stop. now what you for a look at is these 2 lines festival, joe 5 seemed slightly irritable when he made these comments on the fact that he said he was aware of more the we knew this is because joe biden has been seen as being particularly weak on this subject, right? what is essentially the most powerful man in the world, and yet when it comes to
6:18 am
a t l i n, i like that the us provide billions in military a to every interest announced another 3 and all billions to go this year. so you as well, the fact that it is protecting israel in many ways, and yet when it comes to mine on my leader on leader, he appears to have no influence over benjamin netanyahu. me, we've heard that language previously. a recent phase. how can we, why he said he wanted a ceasefire? not that must be a satisfying item on the spot, but i want a ceasefire and it gave me so he and the statement today what he said, we should have a ceasefire right now. so it shows just how little influence that he's having over benjamin netanyahu. i'm. we've had other recent based off of what he's talked about . that's what one dated, c spy and 11 at the, at the same time, the benjamin netanyahu was pretty much ordering the strikes. so you can pass, i drove biden's position back with the fact that they are talking here about as well as need to defend itself. it shows that there is a bit of a disparity that that's certainly the, the situation as far as joe biden is concerned. his relationship with the benjamin
6:19 am
netanyahu, when we were covering the un general assembly about a week ago or so, there was a lot of speculation of adults that was set to be going on the sidelines of the general assembly to try to find some sort of solution to this current situation, is there any indication that any sort of negotiation, any sort of communication is going on to try to work towards a possible so as far as well. i mean, there's always stuff going on behind the scenes, but we don't know about, but we've not, we do that given any indication that there is something official going on. i mean, joe biden is effectively having to cite publicly what he wants. now we don't know if he's speaking directly to destiny, all who on a daily basis and he said yes that i thought there would be a call with prime minister netanyahu. we didn't cite when he didn't cite what full met would take what they would be discussing. but at the same time we are seeing the us building up. it's a military presence in the region. so it's talking about once in a c spy, i'm reading this, the situation, whether off to power, the realities,
6:20 am
what we're hearing about a c spy. we're heading about diplomacy. we're hearing about the need. but the escalation for one side, at the same time, we are seeing a built up of military assets. the fact that the us has suddenly been sending more and more assets to the region, following the killing of his mountaineer following that rhetoric from iran, that they would be some kind of vengeance. that would be some kind of response. and there were a number of across car is that was set now they were meant to leave. they've never since been told use they put on there are more on the way there's gonna be some 40000 military personnel either in the region in the next few weeks or the next guys you know, the days leading up to this. so there is this real kind of contrast between what the white house, the saying once, but also the fact that they are building up this presence so they can site to run specifically if you attack, we will be ready for you. so thanks very much indeed. that's fair lavelle bring us up to date from washington d. c. side. our car is an adjunct professor at the american university is also
6:21 am
reported with the newspaper, awkward state. he's joining his live from washington d. c. thank you very much indeed. for being with us, there's a lot of speculation about how this is going to play out. what is there is longer time plans are given the fact that it seems to have the complete backing of the united states and certainly doesn't seem to have a lot of opposition from those who am able to god as its allies, including also how perhaps not including but i, in addition to the usage response that we're seeing from other countries in the region and from iran as well. what are the chances are, do you think that it may feel confident enough to go beyond these smaller incursions that is making at the moment and actually do a full scale invasion of southern lebanon? yes, sir, thank you for having me. i think what we have seen, as you mentioned, a great deal of mute the response of from iran,
6:22 am
as well as the from the countries of the region as rail fios or the old operation fee is like it has the full backing of the states of america. definitely the present day nightstand. we see that these conversations, that date, that actually happened daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. the between the defense man, the secretary of defense lawyers often and has is randy, counterpart of the class. so the whole thing may have been, you know, probably coordinated together. so we see this is around, feels emboldened enough to strike. they know that it struck her a few decals there struck a may building and, and they were and the team for now we have hard to see is that are, these encourages probably in a commit to that across i'm about villages and the southern but for now another predicts that is going after his velocity, we will see this happen for a while. uh,
6:23 am
is run, want to have this leverage much like it does in the west bank and what are they doing in gaza that if we go into these for a under the pretext of the, of the destroy incredible assets. we've seen the, the attacks and you refer to them there and in the southern level, and particularly the ones that the killed house on the solid, the leader of cause. paula, obviously there were civilians who were killed in that attack were not here in the last few hours that there's been an attack on a policy, didn't even count. there are definitely injuries there. we're waiting to get an update on that. what do you think the risk is to the number of civilians who are likely to beach? call top as collateral. and the attacks that israel is kyrie yard, a very high. the risk is very high. we'll see this in the past. the as well as not attack the head would count, for instance, for many, many saying, but the camp itself has been subject to a lot of that is raising the rates in the past. basically one that be a low was present there. but now there is
6:24 am
a virtually no man military present for the field or any other faction and headway . so this is just a pure as really, you know, which for a po to wanted to bounce students anyways. so we see that the decking refugee comes and goes out there that if he comes in love at all under the pretext of defending themselves, going after him by going after milton. but you are right there is because a, i, the 1st of all that economic situation in the gap is very depressed dates. a medical situation is out of the any medical. again, the gap, the cab is left to fend for itself. and then even, you know, p a or piano, an aide and help as a scare. so there is a, you know, a great deal of, but, you know, containment as far as, yeah, people's ability to are, can find jobs. and so, so the situations in the cabinet is very, very bad and if it gets bomb is going to be
6:25 am
a lot worse. the one of the state today, most of this uh, this operation according to the benjamin netanyahu. and his coalition is to quote, restore a balance of power in the region. do you think that that's likely as well as real, has all the find the region it has about in that sense of america. everything that it has done, it has done enough only what was the green light from there. and i said to back up a direct data whether it's intelligence, whether it's the cms hasn't bomb that and dropped on the i have to, to be of the southern part of, uh, do you know, so all of this is coordinated, but video stops isn't going to feel that it has lost that dance and it should have back on october 7th, when it was attacked by him as, as needed to restore that the terms or under the print, the silver story that, that there. and it has gone on a, at a session ice and it's free, it's gill, despite that the that skills that has invest from that they'd be,
6:26 am
it's gonna probably all be yeah. of the, the 2nd year of command there's a software has been left. so it could have done this, all of the predicts that we knew must be able to defend ourselves or the as the united states of america. it keeps saying it has the right to defend itself, which we, that it, but the restore this or of making strike anywhere. and in fact they can because they have but the, you know, the phone backing of the nice. it's america side our announcement professor at the american universities. thank you very much indeed sir. thank you. now we want to bring you an update from syria where exposure have been had over the calf of damascus. so in the state media have a forced air defense systems intercepted is reading over the southwest of the city late monday night. it's reporting that 3 civilians have been killed and 9 others have been injured. but also getting reports for the wrong kind of attack has targeted a military base. hosting us forces near a rock, somebody died international airport. at least 2 could choose
6:27 am
a rocket. so being fired at the base air navigation of the airport has been halted . 10 predominately watches the reporting of the intelligence and the 2 in rocky military officials. they said air defenses have intercepted the rockets. now israel's last major being charged and into 11 and was in 20 o 6. the conflict lost its $34.00 days as our launch the offensive after his ball. the fighters killed 3 soldiers and took 2 others captive and across the border rate is very forces pushed more than 20 kilometers into lebanese territory. they also launched extensive bombing campaign across the country, as it was reported, a $158.00 desk over the course of conflicts. most of those were soldiers and 11 on more than $1100.00 people died during a month for fighting most of them or civilians. or on the whole, it is a distinguished public policy follow at the american university of band, and he's joining us live now from your new york. good to have you back on the show
6:28 am
rami i wanted to talk to you actually about what we're hearing with regards to the attacks that have been happening in the setting and capital damascus. and also the attacks and times of the rockets being fired at the us base in baghdad. and is there anything that we can as assess from that? is there a wider reactions or what is going on in lebanon that we're seeing across the region? or perhaps, but it's not new. there has been a situation. the last, i don't know, 6810 years that has seen the are countries essentially stop the conflict with israel. and many of them trying to surreptitiously have relations with israel and not so surreptitiously have trade with him and tourism with his real. whereas the opposition to to israel and what it has been doing in palestine and elsewhere has come from non state actors as butler. how may i have some groups
6:29 am
like that and there's several small groups and then a rack that are similar to a closer. i like to the iranian government, and there's a few in syria. syria is one of the few error countries that as close to or sort of part of the axis of resistance. but it's kind of a dormant assignment partner doesn't really get involved in actual warfare because it's capabilities are a not very advanced acceptance and some anti uh, aircraft capabilities. but otherwise, it's not really a military player, but it is, it is a conduit. it's an important blink. land link between iran and lebanon, and as well, and others, and these brooks and they, right. so these are groups that are taking the shots of the american targets whenever they can. this has been going on for 6345 years. it's not nothing new. it's not very effective, but it's just sense little 2nd most that you know,
6:30 am
if you're going to give us our time, washington, we're going to retaliate. and the best way that we can are the only possible way that we can. so this is not a serious confrontation about assess symbolic gesture that, uh, this sort of, quote, was not satisfactory to most people in the, in the countries in the these groups are there enough, whether it's a c or, and government, or the end of it drills or palestinian groups and some of the cancer, whatever it may be, that a lot of people in the world who are unhappy with a status quote and are unhappy with the dorman nature of our position, which doesn't really go beyond press releases. so this is the situation now, and it's going to be like this until we find out really the status of has been low . and the status of from us on the status of the iranians in terms of a searchability is how these been badly degraded by the israel.
