there is no limit to how far a dream contains sta in your own adventure, no counter avenues. the of the israel sends grounds loops across the border into southern loving on the army says it's carrying a limited and targeted range against cuz ball that the toner about this. and this is obviously life from don't have also something up. lebanon's largest palestinian refugee comes under is fairly, attract the wrong reports of casualties. israel's military bottoms bear with southern suburbs up to demanding levity citizens, evacuate their homes as well as defiance message for israel. i'm

a senior member says the on group is ready to face any is very wrong defense. the define global calls for de escalation. israel has begun. it's 1st gone defensive into 11. on an 18 years. the manager who says is conducting quote limited, i'm targeted raids against because of all after killing. it's lead to a house on the file i'd just days ago. buried southern suburbs have been hit multiple times and loving those largest and most densely populated palestinian refugee camp is also being attacked. calhoun begins are coverage. lee is illuminating. the sky is above southern living on a sign that is right. the troops were crossing the boat for days, as well as military had been mobilizing along the northern border. it strikes

throughout monday, pipes the wife for a ground offensive, which as realities will be limited, localized and targeted against these by law science. if we look at the composition of the strengths of hezbollah is made off mainly to mrs side units and the special forces. now these red believe that it had destroyed most of them is science, where the units will at least $50.00 to $60.00, to $70.00 sense. and now what is right was, is to surround this special full set is ralph is its ground operation is being supported from the yeah, a strong kid that i know who i can see a side on the largest colors to me and camp and living on the southern suburbs and they wrote were once again targeted in civil lodge strikes is confident because of recent successes in various assassinations and bombings that they have conducted. but frankly, i think they are over confident if they go in and they think that they can

seriously disabled hezbollah on the ground. i think they're in for a few nasty surprises. 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 the st of correspondence is covering all angles of this developing story in washington dc. i'm on eastern loving owns back. ave. first we're going to have to buy a route for ali. hash them is joining the stock. i just talked as to what's been happening over the last several hours or so particularly. and that attack on the promising the account. yes, rob. so a few hours ago there was an as ready strike on the palestinian refugee camp of finance. and we in the southern city, off side. and so for now,

the reports of casualties, the targets of the attack was a policy and faction lead uh when you have the, the c wasn't killed bought his son and the family of his son. what killed the children for some of the kills. of course, uh for the moment that there are, there's a no key or find the number of casualties because rescue teams us through trying to recover bodies from the rubble also lives us from that. although, according to i with this is that the several buildings that were destroyed in this exact cost. and henry is the maybe biggest refugee camp in lab. and on that and towards so out around 130000 palestinians, along with some 1000 c is who came to this refugee camp after the syrian conflict as a conflict started. so now all the eyes on the rescue efforts in either head with but before the talking side and i am headed with the several is really strikes

and the southern sold. then i'll say, who sees 8 strikes and several buildings with lots and no reports of casualties. in part of the, there were also several attacks in the syrian capital, the moscow send the several people to that, the street people. or we can just see the top right of our picture here. we can see some of the damage that's being done. you can see the smoke rising above the debate route, sky light, they're following those attacks. talk to us only about how people are reacting to the attacks as we seem to be getting closer and closer to towards the center of the city. well, over the past few days, people have been on the this relentless is really attacks, especially on the saw the sometimes, but still simmons and you see with all the strikes in different cities from the

south and side to know what the do the east in the default, but we respect to the root of this area of the southern sub for settle, a 700000 people. and many of those people decided to leave based on warnings. so they left some of them. what uh, went into schools where residential friends rented. it depends on the uh, the level of resources and how much they're able to spend on, on their own charges. so government yeah, it doesn't really provide much. it's open and gets facilities. but other than that, it's totally corporate, i think, with united nations agencies or, and g o. as other than i'm, that is all the people, for example, decided to go to what syria, which is actually a, a safe place and those with better situation. the fortunate was what able to book

some tickets to leave the country ali, thank you very much indeed out of how should bring you up to date from they were going to go to i said big, there's live for some of the call valley in eastern level and that's been the scene of several attacks over the last several days and, but you've been reporting on what's the latest that you're hearing. this was the thing being an increase of is there a strikes in here? and becca, they say, is a israel says that they've been talking his with within deposed infrastructure and that posts of the backup value of his with all strongholds. and as well as back to the best thought valley neighbors onto syria. they believe is what i believe that the roots that's his below i used to get to weapons across the board to keep themselves well supplied, as well as a strong cold. but the back of the also a neighbors on 711 on a. so on southern level,

and what we've been hearing is that these rates, but if you have turned out to strikes on the tons of comfort or kids, uh, uh, an odessa now many of those tens of villages on the, on 74 to have been the targets off, is there any strikes since october last yet? but now what we're seeing is that these are the miniature messing on the board to october. we striking on those kinds of villages to try and push back those his beloved fighters, so they can actually carry out that brand offensive. now we've also heard from his beloved website. they've tried that to at least 12 strikes against is ready positions and military targets as well as using for the 1st time the newer massage, which is a ballistic. and so the back of the body, as i mentioned before, is a to the eastern side of, of lebanon. it's not far from there to go to the border with syria. and as i was mentioning, i understand that the people are making the way across the board or into syria. but as ali was talking about earlier on,

is syria itself is not the safest place to be either. you know, it's not then it gives you an idea of the kind of guy that these people face him. many of those to investigate use best came here to get away from that conflict in syria. now, according to the united nations, tens of thousands up to about $50000.00. syrians have cross the border back into syria. that's the reality. we spoke to many of those on the board of the, of the day. and they were telling us where they came here. they were welcome to the live in refugee kent. uh, which is some of the chosen, a born has never known his old that they have ever known. now they've been forced to go back because they think that live alone is no longer safe for them because of this conflict. because of these intense s drugs taking testing because because of this, not the invasion and also they see the news. they've seen what's happening because of the seen, the record coming got it. so kind of even they feel that it could be them next, that this destruction that we've seen and causes that could happen to live it on

a they just don't know when, how long it will last when it will stop video where, where we get hit next but it wasn't just soon from just crossing that portez also that need something nice across the board. going to sit in a game that just gives you an idea of the kind of displacement that's taking place across the lebanon. and some people feeling that the country is no longer safe, forcing them to go into what's on syria and i saw a big and back are valid and use and level as so thank you very much indeed because it's stephanie jackson, she's in jordan's capital of mine that's because these really governments bond or does it before the inside israel. so this, these attacks and we're going on for several hours now i'm, we're just looking at some of the pictures of the skyline and 5 bales at the moment . looks fairly, fairly quite. i'm certainly not seeing any strikes, but we are seeing a smoke rising over the skyline there. what is the, is mainly government stuff saying about what's being happening 11 on of the i think for sure world we'll be hearing from them today at 7 o'clock in the

morning in israel. the only thing we have is that our me statement, following a political cabinet meeting which green lighted vis ground operation. we knew it was in the works for the last couple of days, rumors of it and then we had deal. i've got on stage where the defense minister making 2 statements at the border yesterday. there seem to be that momentum building is role. wanted to seize on the men to that is, has gained the upper hand if you will, against has ball or they didn't want to wait. if they were going to carry out this ground invasion to go in immediately, and that is what they have done. their aims, they say is that it's going to be limited in scope, that it is about dismantling. has a bullet infrastructure along the border. they have the full backing of the americans. you have the long spoke to his counterpart of us. it's actually of defense. and we don't know how long it's going to go on for, of course, looking at it in a bigger picture. you know, this is israel invading

a software and country at the end of the day with the approval of the americans in what israel cools, self defense and the need to defend itself. and the need to re establish a deterrent to redraw the lines of the balance of power in the region. certainly, thank you very much. indeed, though stephanie deca bring us up to date from a mountain there. well, earlier us present, and joe biden responded to reports about a possible is really drawn defensive in lebanon press conference and the white house this 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, 2 hours later depends on came up with this statement. the secretary of defense lloyd austin, has called his is really counterpart agreeing on the necessity of dismantling attack infrastructure along the border to ensure that his ball i cannot conduct

october 7 style attacks on israel's northern communities. he says a diplomatic solution is required to ensure that civilians kindly return safely to their homes on both sides of the board and says, there will be serious consequences for a run if it chooses to launch direct military attack against israel fellows in washington dc for us so, so we're on the one hand, we've got some joe biden saying we should have a seems fine. on the other hand, we've got lloyd austin, basically saying, as far as the us is concerned, it's quite happy or, and certainly goes along with what is really trying to achieve in southern lebanon . do we have any indication of what the actual position of the us is in all of this as well? i mean, it varies depending on who you listen to. i mean, there is this feeling that any time to get a has the load to great. it is a good thing as long as it can be contained, but then there are all these concerns that this could lead to

a why the conflict which nobody independents going to the white house, one sister to turn into i what was interesting was the one we had from joe by the way he said that he is aware of more than perhaps we know and the white house is pretty much putting down this down to a weight of sorts of it can be cold. but because this was one incident that the white house you about, you know, we've had for several days for several weeks. these actions that are being taken by israel, where the white house has come out and cetera in briefings that have no prior knowledge. so we're in this situation where you've got show fight and who is what the most powerful man in the world, right? he's working with an ally, but uh the us is strictly on storage the behind to the allied, but it protects it. it sends ministry a to a billions of dollars every year. in fact, we just had it a few weeks ago. that was going to be 3 and a half $1000000000.00 more. okay. this year and yeah, when it comes to the 2 man lead on liza, he is unable to help the influence of benjamin netanyahu,

that he perhaps wants huddle as always hopes that he could help. because prime minister netanyahu appears to not be listening to joe biden. and joe fighting is in this very unusual situation where he con disavow is royal because that would then show that there is some kind of lack of support between the us and is right. and of course, the reason is longstanding relationship. there is huge support for israel in this country. he could impose conditions on the ministry 8, but a game that would show that there is some kind of fracture in the relationship. although we can see that there is a fracture in the relationship, but that will cook for the emboldened iran has block, and those proxy groups. and so joe, find this in this particularly awkward situation at the same time. it's generally accepted among a lot of analysts say that of the communist netanyahu is simply waiting. he's waiting to see what happens in the election because we know the donald trump is a big supporter of israel. i suppose it is ralph how heartedly during his

presidency. we know that i met recently when the prime minister netanyahu was here . uh, not his most recent visit, but the time before. but he met by and he met uh. com of the harris as well. and so the reason is feeling that there was a calculation by prime minister netanyahu to kind of weight this out. joe biden is effectively, elaine talk president, right? he's going to be out of office. in a matter of moments, it's going to be either donald trump will come out of harris. and if it is donald trump, the calculation is that perhaps he may have even more of a free right to do what it is that he feels he needs to do in that part of the welton. for the one of us here briefly about something that we would just be saying that there are game against the backdrop of job items calls for a ceasefire. i understand that there is some sort of troop movement that is being done at, towards the area. now i believe part of that is part of a standard rotation anyway, but i just wondered if you had any more information about the, the, the, the speculation that the american troops that might be heading towards this region . yeah, i mean that has been

a built off of assets in the region ever since the killing of a small had a uh, a few weeks ago on the cut that rhetoric that came from a wrong. we saw that there was some bull ships the us abraham lincoln had moved into the, into the area. those with caps that they would you to leave. but now they, i've been told you, stay put on there are more assets that are on the way we understand that we're going to be some 40000 us military personnel. and there are a number of assets on the way which all they include at 6, these f. 50 is a tens of $22.00 fights across the us, as harry truman is also on its way. it left virginia about a week ago. so the rest is built up in that part of the world, and what we're seeing is this power of the universe. with on one side, we're getting the statements from lloyd austin and joe biden, and they're talking about the escalation of mitchell diplomacy and how important that is. but at the same time, we are seeing this visible build. i'll pull up the us is quite clear and say miss is a precaution, we measure and this is basically saying to around by cough don't get side too close

. and if you to be prepared for the consequences because we will be here. we've ultimately got his round spock in phil, thanks very much. any. that's phil lavelle bring us up to date from washington dc. because minnesota of states for phone affairs has just released a statement, the size, the chunk regression 11, and it strengthens its security and the stabilizes. the region standing with the people of lebanon, is not only a moral jersey, but an urgent necessity. he says we have from our full solidarity with level its government and its people in these difficult times or not israel's last major incursion. it's 11 up within $20.00 oh $6.00. the conflict lost it's $34.00 days. is there a long stay offensive after his ball of 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 and was so long and extensive bombing campaign across the country. as a reported a $158.00 deaths over the course of the conflict,

most of those were soldiers in 11 on more than $1100.00 people died during a month for fighting. most of them were civilians. and the only thing is a journalist, an offer of the policy time, lavano tre, it's a book on israel's ons and surveillance industry. he's joining us from sitting. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. has the law has released a statement saying that it is ready to face any is really grind defensive, but as yet, we're not entirely clear to what extent it would be able to do that. a look, it's obviously unclear. yes, it has bullet clearly is still going to be in a position to 5. so, i mean, clearly that in the last weeks i've been to, catherine tied into an extent much the latest sheep is now dead, i think has fall over in many elements when you're on a vein. frankly shocked and stunned by these riley attacks. the ability to have no red lines, but it's not data things. and when these relas now and some living on they'll be finding they'll become slate. and there's no doubt that many people in that kind of

11 on hate israel. i've hated them for years. in fact, for decades fit, people have not forgotten the occupation from the 19 eighties and the warranty. 2006 was devastated, pallets the southern living on thyroid side of history is that people have not forgotten that. and israel, i think, will not be well welcomes with roses and pedals, put it that way. one of the significant features of this current conflict between israel as well as the extent of which israel appears or being able to penetrate, as well as communications networks, with the use of intelligence gathering as well. um, in your assessment, given the fact that you've done a book on israel's arms and surveillance industry, how deeply do you think that can, that may have gone and how effectively do you think has ball up might be able to circumvent whatever penetration is being looked a penetration of has the dollar has been date. my understanding is speaking to various sources in the last week said lot of this again during the syrian civil war,

where hezbollah recalls was on the side of a side, unassisted. he's brutality in that war. and at that point, there was such an influx of his bottle sizes into syria. that is where i was able to collect i. v is massive amounts of intelligence. this is polly 3 unit, 8200, which is these rails intelligence um a key into the industry in the us. and i think i have a time obviously israel has also had a number of spies. knowles within has bowl. i mean, there's been reports in the last days that in uranian souls actually gave the location of knows right lot in the minutes. so 9 minutes before he was killed by the that's true, i don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me because in the last decade on site as being huge amounts of huge riley attacks any ron and the number, the writings have been working with these riley. so his bola is undeniably damaged, not defeated, but damaged any. ron is also concerned about whether they, ryan leadership is being compromised in intelligence. but ultimately, and eventually these are all my well struck has bola and killed this later in many

ways. leadership and none of these actually brings long term securities of israel. none of it does because what israel has wanted really seems 1948. and that's continually some kind of legitimacy, security of safety in the region. and none of that will be achieved by any of these actions effective anything in the last year. the killing of 405060000 palestinians in guys are the slaughter that we're saying in the living on the last few weeks has made more people more angry. not us in the arab muslim world, but in the world in general. and that legitimacy that israel craves will not happen . in fact, the opposite, it's making more, he's riley's unsafe, and no jews like myself globally more unsafe. that's the sad reality. the end of all this, whenever that happens, and we of course have reports of these various hacks in syria near damascus. it's also, as we're discussing, targeting, how has bought it in southern lebanon. there's hamas and gas are those attacks still going on is targeting, who is the fighters and you haven't and of course,

that on the ongoing raids daily rates in the occupied west by. do you think that despite the fact that that's uh benjamin netanyahu seems to have a groundswell of support within israel is got the us at his back as well. but there is a risk that israel is going to over extend itself as well. the short answer is yes, because at the moment these riley feels in bolden, no one is stopping him, is the sight of us has given them comp long to make me constantly here pretty much for 12 months now. the job i've missed consent or he's upset toy. he's angry with nothing, you know, so meaningless. nonsense. because ultimately, so providing the weapons. and that's all that matters to the end of the day. so, and that's also, i would say, similar with much of the european countries and frankly, much of the arab world who took me out of latency, no error. people who have spoken out for months critically. and these are, i would have done nothing tangible against them as being a cutting of ties as being no sanctions. not stopping and buying these riley

weapons or surveillance take which the air of countries have done fees. so these are always undeniably stretched. and again, at the end of the day, when ever this finishes in 6 months or a year, when ever, none of this is bringing these rail safety because the occupation of palestine is now permanent. there are now 750000 set lives in the west bank. that number is expected to massively grow in the coming years. jobs, everything made on livable is around with living essentially, as a fortress, as a garrison stays almost as engaged. oh, and is a real arnie as someone who is jewish myself, who sees these ro as apparently a safe haven said use as ease row claims to be near the ultimately gets the most dangerous place on the planet to be at you. that's just a statement of fact there's no question about that. and all these kind of vinyl lashing out and attempt to try didn't use any kind of legitimate resistance against the 0 when the occupation is illegal, has been full since it's beginning. he's not just sad, but also slightly immoral,

and i think many, many is riley's and frankly many supporters of israel a blind so that reality onto that always. so we're very grateful to you for being with us and i'll just do this. so thank you very much. indeed thanks so much i. it was being reinforcing as no other combined in preparation, but it's drawn to salt into southern 11 on the $36.00 division is already there is mainly made up of artillery on time for games. recently the 98th division of potter troopers was deployed to join them. the soldiers have seen extensive combat in garza and the past year to reserve the gates of also being called up to joining the 35 years. and so just already there most likely reserved for gate of a 98th. so 3000 more highly trained airborne troops and a reserve volume of a gauge with full size most soldiers in tanks. this unit has been training for a possible invasion scenario. what am i call you? 40 bucks. we both spoke to greg stoker, he's

a former united states army special operations member is not a jew political analyst for ment. press news. he says the long term objectives of the ground defensive still remain on clear or a like a lot of the ideas of 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 gauge and to be capabilities. now they're following it up with a combined arms ground force with tags, infantry and artillery. when it is, 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 tiny river so that they can re deployed air defense artillery systems in the buffer zone and move the northern so 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 after the mass of blows done to hezbollah. 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 really tank 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 a substitute in the past that if they were to be a ground invasion then as well, i would have the upper hand here that they would be in an upper position in

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 truths israel is deploying and this to what they call a limited operation, how far do you think they're going to go into level? well, they're stated goal is to get the northern residents back, they're going to have to push pretty far. and what was one thing we have to understand is that is real, is a country with not a lot of strategic depth, 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 books, gorilla teams in like 4 to 12 man. anti tanks was perhaps in their back field because they have honey come their entire military infrastructure and sophisticated for to by tunnels that are is just as effective or more so effective then what, how moss has been able to a trip the idea of forces in gaza with the 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 on 2 fronts they, they have a financial and munitions support, as well as political cover from the united states. yes, they're having to call up reservist. 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 are professional soldiers, unlike some of the has bullfighters that all the 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 reserves have seen as their military deployments 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 north and loot 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. uh, it says it's in agreement with the military command echelon, but we've seen cracks between the 2 parties, the political in the military command. and with 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 if has, will really get stuck into the fight because they historically have a very low tolerance for taking maps casualties. uh it would be um, quite interesting to see what happens as far as the hezbollah response is concerned and what the capabilities are.
