to minus the the hello on elizabeth for autumn in distance, algebra live from doha, coming off in the next 16 minutes is rarely troops move into southern 11 on and a ground defense of the army is quoting limited and targeted. early it is fairly strikes of the capital bay route and that it owns largest palestinian refugee camp, kansas. one day off to has almost said the optimal is ready to face and is really ground defensive on the bottom, spills over into neighboring sylvia with a pulse of deadly strikes on the capital, damascus,

the, it's 6 g m 2, that's 9 am. and 11 on is where the army troops have entered the south of the country in the ground defense of defying global calls for de escalation. these are live images from the capital bay route, which strikes have continued and supports of ground troops is rarely met. latrice has its conducting what it costs limited and positive res against has fallen off to killing its lead. a hassle methodologist days ago. it is the 1st time as well since soldiers into 11 on an 18 years. it is rarely ami, says areas in northern israel and now off limits to civilians across the board and southern lebanon. is there any forces have target should be i'm out of headway refugee camp in the time of the town of side and it's home to more than a $130000.00 palestinian refugees as early as strikes have continued across the

country. log be roots, southern southern of da here has once again come on to fire. the offensive sauces and the early hours of tuesday morning. katy callahan begins coverage. lee is illuminating. the sky is above southern leaving a sign that is right. troops were crossing the border for days as military had been mobilizing along the northern border. it strikes throughout monday, paved the way for a ground defensive, which as realities will be limited, localized and targeted against these bloss science. if we look at the composition of this trends, so pensacola is made off mainly to miss 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 to 60 to 70 percent. and now what is

a loss is to surround this special voltage is ralph is ground operation is being supported from the restaurant because i know who i can see a side on the largest palestinian camp and living on the southern suburbs of the roots were once again targeted in civil lod strikes the confidence 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 disable his bottle on the ground. i think they're in for of few nasty surprises. the strikes weren't limited to living on sir reinstate media seed an attack and killed several people, including a journalist in the capital, damascus. kindly callahan, elder zeta, a team of correspondents,

a cover in all angles office, developing stories in washington, dc, amman, eastern 11 on the back of valley. but 1st that's how you had to be rude and bringing zayna hall that she is joining us. live funds, 11, east capital st. assess what is the mazes that you're hearing about the ground defensive in the south? well, we haven't been able to independently confirmed as the israeli army saying that it has become a limited localized and targeted the ground operation in village is close to the border in a bid to push has a lot away from the border. they have not released any images of that ground cooperation, but this way the army has released images of what it says. our soldiers preparing for the push inside loving on there has been no comment from has been locked. and we're trying to get a comment from the united nations peacekeeping force, which is deployed in south lebanon. and which is its mission really is to monitor

violations along that line. that one line where some areas are disputed between 11 on and as well. so we are waiting for confirmation from them on what has exactly happened, but in one way or another. be welcomed by has a lot. in fact, those were some of the last words that republic words that we heard from has been the secretary general has sort of before he was assassinated. he said, we welcome you to come in to 11 and we welcome your time. we see this as a historic opportunity, has velocity, is that it has the advantage on the ground. it was something that has well as deputy secretary general name, as to reiterate that in his 1st public appearance, following the killing of the industrial. like you said, that's because of all that is ready. now this is really the big question. we'll have this, this, this portion inside 7 on it after suffering

a so many losses and, and losing really it's military leadership. but i think what is key here is that as well keeps on talking about limited limited operation because it knows that pushing further or advancing further inside love and on with you know, bring back what was 11 on the israel's lebanon's quagmire because they have a rich baby to 1982, they pulled back, they, they mounted the buffer zone. if you like, along the border, they faced guerrilla attacks, forced to leave in 2006. that was the last major, a ground compact between hezbollah and as well. and despite as well, these read the army advancing a few kilometers in 511 on there were fierce a fighting in modeling. the ross and businessman, these are just a few kilometers from the border. and this really army has to go back and say that it has been more a strikes. meanwhile, on the southern southern of beaver, southern southern of da here the hezbollah stronghold several neighborhoods have

been involved with hearing and residents order to evacuate. yes, less late last night. the loud explosions were heard across the capital. at least 8 air strikes carried out by this ready air force, the targeting buildings in bathing southern suburbs. we understand at least 4 buildings have been completely destroyed. in some neighborhoods, in other neighborhoods, buildings have been partially destroyed. in fact, in the past few days since that's enough of a top friday night that's assassinated or killed as well as secretary general, we've seen into an intensive air campaign targeting sports menu called has follow strong mold, an area where hezbollah does have a presence of hundreds of thousands of people live. many of the people who live in the southern subjects have babies are now sleeping, an open, the open spaces cards. uh, a is on the side of the roads uh, across the 11 east capital. even uh,

we are getting reports of new casualties up to 10 people killed in and is really strikes south of beach. the city of site is on a daily basis. there are at least a 100 casualties. so this is an intensive and expensive area. so that is taking a high toll on civilians up across the country. so, you know, thank you very much for that. that of that correspondence, zayna hall the with the licensed joining of life on the lebanese capital of a to acid bag. he's lived from the back called valley in easton, lebanon, and the big house valley is frequently attacked by, as well as side what's being happening there of the what do you decide from what cutting is, talking about civilian casualties, taking the high, told the in the back of body, that's exactly what's, what's happened with israel's intense bombing campaign. no parts of the back of the a can see that has been strong holes. and israel says that is targeting his black

infrastructure as well as weapons step both. but what we've seen and heard is that tons of villages have been bumped. civilians have been killed and many have been displaced in fact. and the issue with the bombing is the, has intensified over the last few days as israel tries just target these his with us strongholds know along the new southern border. we've seen the tenants of carpet could uh, an idea. so hit by is really 10 restricts, but we've also heard from his law saying that they've talked to is there any positions with rockets now? they say that they talking to the getting the region, the barracks. and they've also said that they've for the 1st time used a new massage, which is a ballistic missile. so it here and uh and uh hey we, uh theres been displacement this meeting for strikes. but along the southern board, it is also being is really alternative striking as well as his without striking is there any positions and they might be referred to as hezbollah, strong holes,

but it is civilians who live in these areas right south. and these, this intensification of attacks has forced, at least a $100000.00 people to flee, to neighboring syria and recent days that includes 11 the citizens it's absolutely no, it's parts of the book, the considered is with a strong cause. there's a, there's a different makeup, we have some needs, you have a, she has, you have christian communities here, and you also have a number of syrian refugees. now, over the last few days, tens of thousands of refugees have gone back to syria where they initially select which ones that we had to escape. that civil war came to the been on a and many of the children have no, nothing except 11 on the crossing back into syria because they think it will be safe for that. and there's also lebanese, so citizens, as you said, the of trust interest area, again, because they're watching the news, the seeing what's happening because i say the said the listen to the rhetoric

coming out from the politicians, including, is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu a buyer has been lost during the claiming that the storing rockets in people's homes, hospitals, and schools, and the fearful that's not that this grand invasion as is stopped it. that's the face of that. but on the buckeye could be that of gauze, is that no way will be safe and that's why they're all the take the chances in syria rather than stay in level. yeah, absolutely. speaks to just half price and people must be fed leaving levon on to go to sylvia. that has been so ravaged by so many years before. so thank you very much for that. that is as a big with the laces, live in the back. how that a that spring, and stephanie deca, she's joining us from jordan's capital armand because as really government, as a band out as they are from reporting this is stephanie. what are we shipping from those rarely side, both from the military, about the movements and from the government.

we haven't heard from members of the government as of yet. we have had that statement from the army that was issued at 2 am laying out what was going to be a limited and targeted ground offensive. we've had a little bit more leaks in these rated media, talking about how one is ready combined or cold. this, the rewriting of history, hezbollah has been seen by these rate is really as enemy number one minute wrong, and proxy more powerful then how mass? of course, how masses, october. the 7th attack was something that many will tell you israel headphones, your estimated have mass, but it's always really been focus more at has by law. so one is ready to come under describing the troops as lions in cages. that's quotes as ready to go into bottle. now these ratings are maintaining that this is going to be limited. that it's just about this mentioning has been the infrastructure so long that border. this is

something that is backed by the united states, and it is part of its password where it says the end target is to make that border safe to bring around. 60000 is ratings back into their homes, along the villages of that border. however, anyone will tell you that a military solution to these kinds of extremely complicated ground situations is often very, very difficult to achieve. it is the political negotiations that usually have the upper hand. but we're going to have to wait and see how it is, is going to unfold at the moment. certainly, we don't understand that there's a major push as yet into lebanese territory. and stephanie, you have covered as well for a very long time. the military says this operation will be limited and targeted, but we know what as well does or means when they say limited what, how that is seeing what's happened. and also over the past year.

i think these days, you know, we used to be able to understand the language of what was unfolding these days old bets are off the table. it's very difficult to predict where we are going, where the region is going. that israel has been incredibly emboldened its feeling victorious. it seems to be settling full, it's scores while it has been given. almost uh, it looks like a complete blash to do whatever it wants. so whereas it says that it is limited, it's only going to be operating along the border menu, lebanese, and many observers will tell you that once the war starts, it's very difficult to know where it's going to end. and there is a fear, of course, i'm on the knees is that is wrong, will reoccupied parts of southern loveland on it might want to create a buffer zone when it remains with a presence. all these are big question marks at the moment. and one of the biggest question marks is of course, has ball as capability off to the attacks itself,

but especially over the last couple of weeks. what are you hearing about the hezbollah attacks on his rarely troops as well there been uh you know, more projectiles and rockets launched into his ready cherry tree. they have been in deceptive somehow for that in an open line. but it's a part of that has continued, we haven't seen. and many of us at some point expected we haven't seen a major has bullet attack on is really territory when they fired a missile at the most side. headquarters close to tel aviv. it was one beside him and we heard this also from his father's deputy secretary general. he was saying we fired and miss allen. we just fired one miss. all we do still believe that has the has capabilities to do much more. they haven't done that. so then it comes to the ground part certainly is rose enjoyment of the upper hand when it came to the air, when it came to its breeches of hezbollah, his intelligence,

this will change somewhat when it comes to face to face fighting on the ground. but remember, israel still has this intelligence breach of the road, the red one forces, the special operatives of has been that were trained to enter israel, who really are a special hardened force on the ground. israel has taken out a large part of its combined system. so i think what we're going to see on folder over the next couple of days will tell us exactly where has butler is at this point . how much is it has really been degrading? or as we also heard from the deputies, actually general they are people of patients have, they've been biding their time to wait for israel to get in ground forces. and then it's going to be a very different fight and one we're hezbollah may take back the upper hand, just a really interesting point. stephanie, thank you very much for that for now. that is stephanie deca with a laser is joining us live from amman earlier us president joe biden responded to the points about what was then a possible. it's very ground,

defensive and devon on, at a press conference in the white house. this run maybe now launching a limited 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 laser, the pentagon issued the statement secretary of defense lloyd austin, has cooled. his is randy counterpart agreeing on the necessity of dismantling attack infrastructure along the board to to ensure that has the law cannot conduct october 7 saw the tax on as well. so when communities, he says a diplomatic resolution is required to ensure that civilians can return safely to bay homes on both sides of the border. austin also says they will be serious consequences for yvonne if it chooses to launch a direct military attack against israel. that spring and for the val, he's joining us live from washington dc. it is a striking statement of support for as well as it launches

a ground defensive and another country. so yeah, i'm not as the official us line, but i am, we've had this months helping me, but the us side it supports is row and it supports israel is rights to defend itself. just touching us on that stuff. he just said back in a mom she was just talking about how in these situations there was always a fair if you never know where this may end up. and that is the fear of many in the fight in administration because they are really concerned that this could lead to an escalation and could lead to a much larger or like will, i was gonna bring you out some details of just coming to us. this is being reported in his writing media. this is being attributed to michael has talk the is ready and busted to, to the us who is a pony psych. but the us administration understood the essence of the operation and 11. and i did not restrict those bites, so i'm just a very short statement that. but if you made it between the lines that looked at the language, the us administration understood the essence, but the us administration approved or backed it, but they understood i a,

they were probably told what was happening. and they did not restrict those by time again, they didn't tell them how to be done by a particular point. we all told that joe biden box this um, you know, the fact is that we are told that he had a conversation with prime minister netanyahu. he managed to talk him down from a full scale invasion into a smaller incursion, joe fight. and as we just had in that statement as well said that he knew more than perhaps we thought he did not as a direct challenge. i think to the fact that he's being characterized in the media, particularly here in the united states as being weak, you know, effectively, this is the most powerful man in the world. it is the president of the united states of america. and yet when it comes to it highlights a storage ally that the us box that it gives billions and billions of dollars a ministry, a to find interest analysis, 3 and off $1000000000.00 more this year to israel. and yet, when it comes to that relationship that lead on lead amount on by the relationship,

he is unable to influence private as the netanyahu therapy. so many patients of recent weeks where there was been action taken by these riley's and the us officials have then had to come out and say we have no prior knowledge. so the fact is the job i didn't knew this was coming. i think the white house is putting that down as a way of sorts because at least it shows that he has some knowledge. he's not completely out of the loop, but it shows that he probably hasn't got the influence and the rest is big gap between him. i prime minister netanyahu that is getting bigger and bigger by the day i'm on the list table. tell you that the feeling is the prime minister. netanyahu is essentially biting his time. right. joe biden is the president that is on his way out. he's going to be out of the white house at the start of january. there was an election and a matter of weeks it's going to be either a couple of hours. or it's gonna be donald trump, that becomes the next president at the united states. and we know that it is on a knife edge. it could go either way. the poles are so tight. hey, a. if it is donald trump that wins the election. we know he is

a staunch supporter of benjamin netanyahu. and the feeling is that if he can just get to that point, if there is a trump presidency that comes in, you'll have more free right to do what it is he wants to do and not part of the wealth. but at the same time, remembering that this bite and administration that joe biden himself has professed many times since the war on gauze of sa says that he is a staunch supporter of is what i think. we've also heard this from the vice president and the democratic presidential nominees coming to harris as well feel the statement essentially supporting the ground offensive in 11 on coming just days off to the us was talking about brokering a 21 day cease fire between as well and hezbollah, so yeah, i'm not just goes to show my point is about the fact that joe biden has no influence because at one point, he's talking about a 21 day ceasefire. i'm almost at the same time. prime minister netanyahu is authorizing the strikes. what is interesting though,

is the fact that we had after the strikes and a roof from both comma harris. i'm from jo bite and they basically statements because remember, we're in this unusual situation where the vice president is also a presidential candidate. job items statement was fairly long, he told one israel's need to defend itself. he talked about the need for the escalation of usual kind of stuff. and also he said that justice had been so killing a pass on this roller a couple of harris. the statement was much shorter, it was much more to the point in which she said simply that justice had been said that was very little in times of talking about the 40000 guiding causally innocent people that have been killed and 11 and people are still being pumped out of that home, so that's, we've just had all having to flee. and that is partly because we are in this election cycle where there is a huge amount of support for israel. and obviously there are a lot of whole cuz people that will be backing donald trump. so she's really tried to appeal to them at the same time where she is also having to be aware that there

is a huge arab american population in places like michigan people who are disgusted by the 5. that's the by the administration and headed by association of documents action. and that's just how you play it when you look at it, how it all plays into the domestic agenda. so thank you very much for that. that is phil laval with the latest live in washington. dc area i colleague for about 2 boys flipped in to be who the a former us diplomat is currently a non resident senior fellow at the arab center. he says the language used by us officials makes guessing their intentions difficult. i think uh, washington, whether the white house or the state department has lost all credibility uh months ago. because uh, they've been talking about these flyers and a piece plan. but these are aliens never accepted the either an immediate cease fire and even a temporary one or

a long range of this plan that would see the rise of a palestinian state. um the by the administration was against the advent of us. of um, uh, is 82 percent off off course they went in, they've been decrying the larger number of civilian casualties. those have only mounted. so in the end, one has to wonder, um, is it double speak or is it simply that the tail is wagging the dog? here, i was going to ask you about that precisely, all the americans you think i'm interested. unwilling or unable to do something about the situation. and i think all of the above, i think the to some extent of it is that there is a partnership here and there is nothing in principle that israel is doing that the us disapproves of. they disapprove of tactics,

but not of the overall strategy. they want the ceasefire, but they agree that this really should continue to go after him. us. this is the same thing and level. now. they don't want a war between israel and lebanon, but at the same time, they think it's a juicing load for those that i have to go after her as well. so either they are fooling themselves or they are trying to fool everybody else listening to them and watching them and, and, and either way, it is either totally in africa. see they, they cannot do what they say they want to do. or they are just the impulse of cahoots with israel, and they're just saying the words that, you know there is self diplomacy here. i think it's still a lot. i think in the end of the day, the partnership between the us and israel is very deep. there is no daylight

between the 2. so let me ask you this, sir. who do the lebanese people turn to for help today? i'm not talking about has well now. and you know what, what might yvonne do to, to assist has well, and it's more but the lebanese people, the civilians who are the victims of this conflict. the civilians who have had to flee in the middle of the night leave their homes in the middle of the night, across the border into another country. that's. that's, that was syria. where do they turn to today? well, this is ebony is, are divided. they all have different connections. uh, the new state has practically collapsed. there has been no president for the last 2 years. the government is an acting government is not fully legitimate. the government and the state institutions are uh, bankrupt now. uh there is a private sector. so people are, um, there is roughly 1000000 as ebony is on demo right now. a, some of these,

i have relatives in different parts of lebanon that they can go and stay with. uh, but others are, uh, if they have money there. i know the small, little village and, and 11 and where i come from, um, uh they have city little hotels and they are uh, phone was people who have escaped from the south. those are the ones that have money. those that don't have money. these schools have been opened up as shelters for people to have no money and nowhere to stay and us because the education is on hold anyway. so the school spaces are available. so some people are just living on the streets of the road. it's a very, very distressing situation, but frankly, is there any certainly don't seem to care about the human cost of their

ambitions. then 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 minutes. the surprises now as well as last major incursion into lebanon was in 2006. the conflict lofted, 34 days as well. launch the offensive officer, has bono flashes killed 3 soldiers and took the 2 of us captive and across the border. raid is there any forces pushed more than 20 kind of bases into lebanese territory? they also launched an extensive bombing campaign, as well as the force of the $158.00 deaths over the course of the conflict. most of those for soldiers. 11 on more than $1100.00 people died during

a month. the fighting, most of them was civilians. jamal goals and as a vice hello and political compensation, when he's joining us, live from bay wrote good to see you tomorrow. so we heard from his ball as deputy data yesterday. he said the group is ready for a ground incursion. do think it is off of the attacks itself that of the past 2 weeks, the floors of a like a knife of so desperate. we haven't even started as well as acting as if this isn't for a long war. so they're not being able to be, they're not acting as that. this is going to be a one song talking on whatever the terms are, use these situations. and the thing is that this is a panel or and, and that will be

a new sensor prepared for such sounds. and how would you assess the blow is that it's been dealt all over the past couple of weeks. are they the, was the post office. they must have of course, the most of the method, something that they do the tags. but uh well talk to you soon and all the way to be the senior leadership. bob spiteful that the comes out of maintaining their manual control. they have made. ready their strategy, they're not gonna be throw into the, to the action and they have a, a time. ready that they are able to close the spot on their.
