its concept big waters, me that douglas detective with a is being undermined by government. a titles who are 3rd grade to tear with use of to that address here and to authoration has read. journalism is not a crime for pressing it is the, [000:00:00;00] the hello on and this was put on, and this is the news, allan life from doctor how coming up in the next 60 minutes is wiley, troops moved into southern lebanon and a ground defense of the military. is courting limited and talkative areas where the strikes have the capital bank route and 11 on the largest palestinian refugee camp that comes just

a day off. the has been listed on the roof is ready to face them is really ground defensive. and the bottom spills are the end to neighboring sylvia with his right and strikes and the capital of damascus. the that is 7 g m t 10 am and 11 on was wiley. troops have entered the south of the country and the ground operation, the fine global calls for de escalation. these are live pictures, i believe, from southern lebanon. where strikes have continued and support of ground troops. there's really military size. it's conducting what it calls limited and targeted res against has bola, also killing its leader. how some the started out on friday. it is the 1st time as well and has sent soldiers into 11 on an 18 years. this is really i'm,

it says areas in northern israel and now off limits to civilians across the board and tell them devon on the is really f one says target would be i'm out of headway refugee camp near the town of sight and is home to more than a 130000 palestinian refugees is very s strikes have targeted sites across the country. and baby, southern southern of da here has once again come on to fire. the operation started in the early hours of tuesday morning. katy callahan begins coverage of the lee is illuminating the skies above southern living on assignment. as right now, troops were crossing the border for days as well as military had been mobilizing along the northern border. the strikes throughout monday, pipes the white for a ground offensive, which as realities will be limited, localized and targeted against these bloss science. if we look at the composition of this trend,

so pest bullet is made all mainly demit side units and the special forces. now these are believe that it had destroyed, most of them is science, where the unit will at least 50 to 60 to 70 percent. and now what is a loss is to surround this special pulse. it is ralph is it's ground operation is being supported from the yeah, a strong kid that i know who i can see a side on the largest palestinian camp and living on the southern suburbs of bi route 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 disabled as well. uh, 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 is a team of correspondence, a cover and all angles of this development story in washington, dc and amman. but 1st, let's head to they root zayna ha, that is joining us, live from 11 east capital zane. you hearing anything from his ball. other, you, when the lebanese government about this way to ground defensive in the south, especially since we've had this way the military saying the last hour that they are engaged in fees fighting with hezbollah in the south. you know, what we know is what the is right. the army is saying they're saying that there's fierce fighting and they're talking about the beginning of a ground operation, what they're calling limited and targeted against hezbollah and its infrastructure and villages. a close to the border in an attempt to push the lebanese arms group

from the area. but hezbollah is releasing statements of saying, basically that it is targeting is really military positions across the border in northern israel. the latest attack being in the town of avina, which is really just not even a kilometer of from the border. so has but law saying that it is still fighting, but making no mention of face to face. come back with is ready troops. now these really army is calling on lebanese citizens not to drive south of the latania river that low tiny river runs through southern 11 on edits deepest point. it's about 2025 kilometers from the border. so basically this is the, is rated army saying to the people, leave the area it wants to de populate this whole area and know has the law of statements from their leaders. whether it's was the one of the words in public that house on the throne as well, the secretary general said,

or whether it was the words from the deputy secretary general name, ask them in his recorded address. yesterday. they are welcoming a ground invasion. they say that this would be a historic opportunity for us. for lots quotes, we are waiting for your tanks. we are waiting for you to come in till 11 on in the past. hezbollah has put up fierce resistance against is ready forces that have advanced it's 11 on the last major ground. the come back to life was a 2006 and yes is ready. troops pushed into 11 on they advanced a few kilometers. they were inventors, val my regional ross along the border, but they were not able to hold ground. so the biggest question now is, will has, will i be able to repel this advance? will hezbollah be able to cause enough casualties to change the balance of power? because at the time being there is a need for this group to erase this image if you like this image of the feet after the series of death box and losses. in particular, the loss of its,

the leader in that mass of a is really attack or a few days ago. and those attacks warehouse on the was killed in the and they would tell themselves of, of da here. the continuing on days in a several neighborhoods of involved residents order to evacuate of the well yes. last night's a massive heavy strikes. at least the 8 strikes we. we heard loud explosions across the capital. the is really armies claiming that they are hitting hezbollah weapons . suppose how it has to stop it, sees for residential buildings, have been totally destroyed. other buildings and other neighbors have neighborhoods have been partially destroyed. the hundreds of thousands of people who live in this densely populated area are now, you know, refugees of their own country sleeping and park sleeping on the side of roads and in public square is there is a massive displacement crisis. there has been

a yes. another attack inside a palestinian refugee camp. the 2nd attack inside a promise to me and camp in 24 hours, which really shows a marked escalation in this war. if we call them camps. but these are built up urban areas. they were targeting, publish sending commanders the so, so this, this conflict looks like it is widening. and yesterday we have that strikes inside the lebanese capital, not in the suburbs of bagels. so there's a lot of concern. those who have the money are, are trying to leave the country, and those are able to find the tickets really because airlines have stopped flying to be roots. it's only 11 on special airlines, the middle east, the airlines that is going to and from the favorites international airports. zayna . thank you very much for that. that is dana hold on with all the laces live and they vote. and that's my name. stephanie deca, she's joining us from jordan's capital the amman, because that is really government has banned our 0 from approaching. this is stephanie, are you hearing anything else from them this way?

the military, which has said that it's troops and now facing, has bhalla and southern devon on yes, you've just had zeno some of that statement. it's the 1st indication that we're having a face to face fighting according to these rudy's with these radius. the things that they are a lot of the leaks judy is really media quoting senior commodities that they are rewriting history. hezbollah has always been seen as a formidable force almost as israel's enemy. number one botched by iran. these realities are now rudy seizing on this feeling of um, victory of invincibility as they move into southern level. and it was interesting one of your guests there were saying that he believed they were being over confident, as well as going to prove itself. now we will see on the ground, because of course, there's no way of verifying just how much damage israel has done to his weapons capabilities. also,

these are bottles hardened fighters as well as fighters have been fighting for years in syria. interesting, they will. so the 19th brigade, the division of these raise the army that is fighting in the north was the, were the ones that were in hon. eunice in the operation in gaza. is really media already hailing them is here i was saying they're the ones that broke. how much was back in hot units, but how mouse remains somewhat of an intact force got in gaza. so we have so many question marks about what this is going to look like. despite the fact that these radius keeps saying that this is a limited a targeted offensive just aimed at has bullets infrastructure along the border with as well as definitely to your point that hezbollah might be down. but small house, it has been carrying out attacks on his way the troops it has its newest rockets, but i mean in general, if we look at the bigger picture,

there hasn't really been a change in its pattern. and in the last couple of weeks, they did continue to launch walk. it's even after the assassination of but it's factory general. how sudden this on the deputy leader also made reference to that. he said, you know, it shows that we continue business as usual, even after the assassination. we continue to fire, walk it, but they haven't inflicted the damage that you would expect has. but light is capable of that. these really is no as bullet is capable of even though israel has a very robust air defense system. you have a todd hezbollah. try to um, overwhelmed that with multiples large scale missile attack. so whether this is the group biding their time, whether this is the group actually being quite a disability to define israel's attack, we're gonna have to wait and see things at very, very unpredictable during these times. stephanie, talk to you very much for that, that stephanie back over the latest live in amman. but the us president joe biden

responded to reports about what was then a possible as way to ground defense of 11 on as a media conference in the white house. 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 to and later the pentagon issued the statement saying, the defense secretary lloyd austin has cooled his way to the defense minister. the 2 agreed on the need to dismantle attack infrastructure along the border to ensure that has bola cannot conduct october 7, stall the tax on his roles, northern communities. he says, a diplomatic resolution is required to ensure that civilians can return safely to their homes on both sides of the border. austin also says they will be serious consequences for wrong if it chooses to launch a direct ministry attack against israel. that spring in festival, he's joining us live from washington dc. it is

a striking statement of support as well as it launches a ground offensive in another country from the absolutely. and what was interesting that as well was when you had from present a bite and that was asked if he was away, i'm just comfortable. and he said he knew mo, uh then perhaps it pays on also that he is comfortable with them stopping. nobody pop pulled out against a statement that was just come out of all the some news that has come out of his route. so he reported on his writing media that the us administration is, by the way from the is right and busted into the us. michael had so the us administration understood the essence of the operation, and lebanon did not restrict those by time. so therefore, that site in the us understood trip by mistake. he was aware that kind of sounds like he was told what was happening here. you know, the, the line from the us all along cause being we support israel, we support israel's right to defend itself,

and it's right to exist. joe biden may not particularly support this particular incursion, although we understand that he's back and get in a way because withhold that he had a conversation with prime minister netanyahu, where he managed it, took him out of a full scale invasion to just launched his limited action now, there is a division within the administration with a big between officials. some people say that this is a good thing because best can debilitate has the law. so therefore, it should go ahead. all those that concerned about what it could potentially lead to that could potentially lead to an oil that will, to a large complex obviously that is something that the united states has not wants to get into. what is interesting though, is joe 5 met saying that he is aware of more than perhaps we know that was probably pointed a lot towards the media. i'm the journalist because he has been characterized a lot over the last few weeks as being a man who has no influence over prime minister netanyahu. bear in mind that joe biden is the most powerful man in the world. right. he's the president of the

united states of america is royal as an ally of the united states. it is suppose that it gets a lot of military funding from the united states. and yet, when it comes to the power of them, the seems to be no influence when it comes to mount on my leader on liza because joe biden has repeatedly, or his officials have repeatedly come out and said we have no knowledge of operations. that is right, is carried out. so in this case it appears job. i did have some knowledge. he didn't have some impulse. but so this probably looks like more of a rev receive in the common kind of situation that we feed in recently. yeah, that's why i found the statement from joe biden from the pentagon valley striking because when we had those thousands of personal communication devices explode across lebanon, which as well carried out those attack. so us administration was very quick to try and distance itself from those attacks and yet when, as well as carrying out a ground defense. so we heard from an international law expert earlier who was talking about how this is

a violation of liberty sovereignty. the us said that it supports what as well is doing dos. the us have a policy in regards to what's happening between israel and hezbollah, phelan. and if so, hasn't changed? because it's just days ago that the us was talking about trying to broker a 21 day cease 5. yeah, i'm not goes to the point that joe biden doesn't really know a lot of the time. what's going on? nobody's. that's the impression we got because joe 5 was talking about this, the spot at the same time, the private netanyahu was organizing this action and 11. and it just goes to show me that, that the how huge gap that does appear between them. you know, on the soft to solve it, the us has to back is royal. they have a long standing relationship face. there was a huge amount of support. israel here, i drove items options limits said he calling disavow israel, that would cause a pro here. and it would show that there is daylight between the us and israel, and there's always the chance that iran could exploit that is something that's one

of the us does not want to see happen at the same time big that there's not very much that he can do he called putting restrictions on the ministry because that would show that there was a division which they desperately that want to have in place. also you've got to look at the fact that we are in an election cycle. hey, i know the domestic stuff plays into this. the fact is that officials overall the experts will tell you the private as to that yahoo is largely biding his time. he knows that your advice is on the way out. he knows that joe biden is probably not going to challenge of yes to advise might say, i want this or i don't want this, but he's not actually going to do anything but they expect i live prime minister netanyahu can just, by this time for another few weeks we're going to be in this point where there is an election, it could be comma harris, that is elected president. it could be donald trump, that is elected president is so tight and nobody knows the poles also tied him. but remember, donald trump is a strong supporter of his riley's, i strong support was a particularly a prime minister netanyahu. and the feeling is that if,

if prime minister netanyahu can just hang on, can just bide his time for another few weeks. if there is an incoming trouble administration, he'll have a lot more leeway to do what it is that he wants and not part of the website as well. so thank you for that from the valid with the latest live in washington dc to as well as last major offensive 11 on was in 2006. the conflict lost the $54.00 days as well launch the operation alta hezbollah flies was killed 3 soldiers and took another to captive and across the border raid is there any forces pushed 28 kilometers into lebanese territory? they also carried out an extensive bombing campaign, as well as upholstered a $158.00 people were killed, most of them, soldiers, and 11 on more than $1100.00 people were killed during the month of fighting most with civilians. latest because of jewish a and political affairs analyst, and he's joining us live from bay boot. thank you very much for your time. so we

were talking around this time yesterday when we heard from the hezbollah, as deputy anita yesterday saying that the roof was ready for ground and cushion. it's happened now. do you believe it has bullet is ready for a round offensive off of the attacks that it's suffered over the past 2 weeks or? well, i think what about the find out just of course do fairly spinning. it serves that it's not. i think that the speed with which israel proceeded with the ground invasion gives you an idea that israel believes now what the trinity that they eliminate looks like. the customer fell off of the carry on the page of the nations office. they killed the number elite because of the lock amount is, is a, they think they think this is a chance of a lifetime. to take revenge after 2006, i'm to put a complete and to easily it was marked on the head. i mean, try to use run these pop thing. the homes on the now will not succeed. i think you have to remember that despite the losses, which principal has suffered in this conflict,

there still remains. tens of thousands of flight does not diminish in a lot of costs. and let me so i was at this point, the bombing campaign which gets around has launched for. so i don't necessarily think that this is going to be a walk in the park for these ready side, despite the, almost as it hasn't been picked up on a has been lost. i think that they use radius believe that may be off the, particularly off of the solutions upside of the cell. uh, they go into pricing and any assembly with amolla morales alerts, effective party force. i cannot control control structure which, which has been disrupted. but that came out of the control control structure does have to to still be somewhat impact different, but for the block has continued without. and we saw fire, although we haven't seen kind of intense retaliation. so i think that it's quite possible that these ladies will still face quite difficult, sean, just because now they're entering as ballasa. so if i more importantly this is where the fate of or because of the last style of biking might prove to be an

advantage. previously this river was watching high security intelligence full and not comfortable. israel community has the advantage, but now in this ground round some bucks. i think that the situation may change in a way which doesn't necessarily for you, but is right. and this conflict as between as well and has bala. so we're told that given the number of lebanese civilians who have been killed, 1000000 displays just in the last couple of weeks. when does the lebanese government have to act here to the lebanese government states. um, you know, its been saying, but uh we had a statement yesterday from uh you've been bought a, the prime minister saying that we're ready to implemented to resolution 17 r y. so it's clear that the database government is trying to bring about i have kind of the ceasefire because it realizes the sufferings of the lebanese people. they realize that the situation is like

a dire situation. i think that the state from, from a call to yesterday in particular, was probably directed to the international community to try and say that, you know, we, the lebanese already for any kind of the police fire, for any. we're not the ones separate talking and pretty much the pieces. it's the right side. but i do want to point out to what was the disgust of else on the americans. and they're all are think it's clear, particularly from the state of the pentagon, that benjamin anthony, who has succeeded once again in dragging the united states to which side the you, which is eating, sending assets in order to, to turn it wrong. now i think what that does is that it really encourages nothing yahoo to sort of increase the escalation in a way which increases the likelihood of that regional, which the bottom instruction has been assigned to the from the start that the punch to avoid all the visit back to you so much for your analysis on this would really

appreciate it. our goal book as an, as riley political commentator. and he's joining us live from tennessee. thank you very much for your time. so as well says that this operation into southern lebanon will be localized, limited, and targeted. but we have seen attacks or of 11 on. so what, what do you believe as well as trying to achieve 11 on i actually think that is old though. see this operation is limited to now this is the beginning of the full flow and vision. and the reason is that the motivation for this incursion is israel's political problem and nothing else that sits in well i think with a general sense of complete disregard for anything but is early interest. that is what has demonstrated over the past year is i'll have to find a solution for the 10s of thousands, perhaps it in a 100000, is early sewer. evacuated from the northern border after october 7th,

according to in his early government decision is i'll have to find some way to return them home. and since october 7th is a has really never considered any solution. but i had on confrontation with just follow up, add to that, the possibility that some of the are presented itself for assassinating us on a saw and with the rest of the bombings. and let me know again, i think there is no grand strategy here. i think these are 2 tactical strains of these early action that are attempting to resolve localized problems, i don't think is all, isn't visioning full blown invasion? i don't think is on knows what's additional donors, asian may the cheese. and i think is that was very much afraid from a conference about a consultation with his bala, head on, on his home drink. okay, so you're saying that you do believe that it wants to have a localized operation. but we've been reporting that, you know, over the last 12 hours it has bomb the,

i'm on headway refugee come inside in targeting the leader of affection of palestinian on groups that has nothing to do with has bola, we saw as well attack. and now the palestinian faction again that has nothing to do with come off or has been that and central be root yesterday. so again, why is it carrying out those operations and nothing on that? don't have anything to do with has vala because of these, my opinion is that unfortunately is a really does have a tremendously limited tactical nines. these are all targets. israel has established them as targets. the may handle that the assess the nation, the sides have some smaller crowds and 11 and the opportunity to assassinate other senior who's the person. now that simply brought out working level junior officers are in charge of maintaining what. ready are called it's targeting, these targets are presenting themselves, so they're being shot. that's what was i think the same case was the estimate of

how many uh, less cuts are and then became a target. this is what happened to us from a job or any of the from us military chief who was shot before the beginning. and that began one of these roles of earlier does the operations. this is how israel operates. know for a far tactical response, very, very quick a out of the gauge when the opportunity presents itself. and absolutely no thought about the implications. i can understand how these assassinations might seem like parts of an overall plan or not. they're just israel using very, very specific particular opportunities to quote unquote obtain closure. that's all it is. okay. or so you don't think that all of these attacks and during the assassinations you mentioned not just of hezbollah. lita has enough at all. but how moss is lita is montane in paid on you don't think that is there. are this trying to go wrong into

a lighter wall here as it is real has for some time try to go the wrong into a wider war. but again, i would say that's probably not the main consideration. the main consideration is that as early as early as defining as an operational necessities, in operational necessities, in the ultimate justification for any is early action is, did we get the bad guys or didn't break? that is all. it boils down to for the, as early military. add to that the fact that israel has been looking for this indication with regards to this method of action because it is so spectacularly seldom does this. think about it. so this is think about israel 1000 the austin, a chart continuing to do what it has been a blank for doing what it has been criticized for doing, but doing it none the less because it's the only thing the child knows. and it's the only way the child can see to move forward. this is israel, now it doesn't make is any less murderous. it doesn't make its actions less less

criminal, but the attempts to a strive sort of a grand strategy. the way israel is operating is i think the mr has a written mr. presentation of both is rarely strategy and is early afternoon and i think that's important when one considers ways of stopping as well. okay, so this is about us denying israel some objective. this is about realizing that this is what is or i will do whenever it is given chance. and are you say that israel has failed in gaza? how much do you think? what's happening in at 11 on and i understand your points that when they see opportunities they strike. but do you think that this is also the actions and 11 on for this is by the government? is it about saving face to off to what happened on october? the 7th? oh certainly. and again remember that it's a saving phase and $0.02. this is on the one hand going up against an arrow the enemy in proving israel's metal. but it's also the domestic front. this government made a huge mistake when it is activated,

100000 citizens from the north and the citizens are living pretty terrible lives at the moment. and they are a political burden on this government shoulders. so this government must redeem itself in the eyes of the citizens. and in fact, this incursion is i think more than anything meant to make them feel good to make them feel secure. so they will return home independently and resolve the governments problem. so yes, definitely about saving face. definitely about winning political points, both with regard to the middle east at large and 2, the domestic environment as well. thank you. thank you very much for that. our goal, the live instead of a really appreciate your analysis. thank you for having me as well. it has been preparing it's northern, come on for months for around a salt and to sell them 11 on. this is what we know about the full on the board to 3 divisions, plus 2 infantry brigades are ready to take part in the operation that is at least

$41000.00 troops. they are backed by 324 macabre for advance tags and 72 pieces about 10 or a. these include $5455.00 millimeter, how it says which a large artillery weapons, and at least 18 multiple rocket launches, dozens of air force jets and surveillance drones backing up the ground defensive. let spring and i'll defense editor elements, good top lives, who's going to make sense of all of those weapons for as alex, what do they tell us about what israel has planned as well as role, se, so claims as an all the information is so far as coming from one site and this role is said, it is sent in its lead paratrooper division, the 98th, which has extensive spirit experience in garza. so they are very well trained to conduct raids, limited operations. now they say they're also being backed by an armed force, and the lead on would force the 7th on the gauge,

which was supplied dozens of tanks, and they'll be backed up by all tillery. but the funny thing from the scanned reports that are coming out looks like it's pretty phase. and this, the problem is if you go in and the limits of operation and the fighting is ongoing and tough sooner or later, you will have to send in reserves. nothing is really, is of kept some further back, and this would be the small thing to do to go in see with the main areas of resistance. and then go in with the reserves off to is where the need of the weapons that we've mentioned. alex, how do they compare to what we know that hezbollah has? what has below has been training in small unit tactics. it's has advanced anti tank weapons from brush it use those to great effect in the 2006 for it's used to since in the successful rates. and the tax on is really combined posts and bunk is just across the border. so they have to develop weapons, they have it of on septic tank weapons. they have nothing so full of it's been seen because she's done aircraft,

but we don't know what's also being kept in because we've only seen was being used so far. yeah. and we also don't know how much is being destroyed. and these massive as rarely attacks on has been the military assets, not just over the past year, but over the past couple of weeks has ball up. what about a ton advantage knowing the tower tree having an extensive network of tunnels? yes, and also being training on the home ground mountain is lucky. terrain always favors the defense. they have a special forces unit, the broad one force that number's about 3000 highly trained fighters and they are focus very much on potential operations in the cell. so they know the roads, the hills, the terrain at the back of that hand. and of course, the tunnel, the tunnel, a complex is those that haven't been destroyed, allow units to be able to pop up in on seen areas and cause real problems for any attacking force. alex,

thank you very much for that. that's our defense editor alex. good talk with us this just paul 730 jan t and a reminder that we are covering the ongoing is waiting ground, defensive and devon on media. yeah. off to israel, sent troops and to gaza. the israeli military is cooling it's operation localized, targeted unlimited. it began in the early hours of tuesday morning. a series of explosions will hood and areas across how they've never known. 8 people killed in the town of via it is the 1st time in 18 years that is rarely troops have crossed into them and on at the same time that is where the air force is continuing its attacks across nothing on one hit on a headway that's a palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of site and at least 3 people were killed. and israel has also bomb the southern southern of da here. and they

route again that attack destroyed at least full buildings. that is the sub with israel has been targeting senior has of all of the guys, including the late nita house and the seller will sum lebanese civilians who have escaped. the country has arrived in cyprus. they say they had no choice but to slade years as well. as constant bombardment, a solution data study, but the bombing the every day and the really hard to do anything, no way. no, no, nothing for the past 2 weeks. from the, from, from, or the news. psychological use that i'm trying to find that it's hard to find the ticket the i bought this because i think i'm sitting here for 12 hours. you just say that for 4 hours i'm going to i'm on what

my wife is. i sent it on my family is that it is rarely a tax indeed because out in east and 11 on have for thousands of people from the hollins. i said big sent us this report. the last few days has the in pennsylvania . yes. right here in israel says it's talking his with weapons that post as well as infrastructure, but the reality is many civilians have been killed. and as a result of those aspects of many have been displaced. now, according to the u. n. h, the 10s of thousands of people from the brown have to that to war torn syria, many of them i'll see you in refugees who initially so that the civil war. and so we have to compare to the non now the going back, because essentially the tunzia is the relative in lebanon. but we've also come across lebanese families who have nowhere else to go on the, facing the prospect of crossing the border and going into syria. because they've seen the rhetoric, they've seen what's happening in gaza,

they've seen and had the politicians in terms of you've talking about this conflict in lebanon. and now that this is really brand defensive, has begun. more and more people are fearful. that's what's happening because it could be replicated here in the brunt and no way maybe safe for them. i said vague . i just say to shut off by. and that's for him, stephanie deca, she's joining us life. i'm jordan's capital armand. because that is why the government band owls is 0 from reporting that stephanie, we've heard the just in the last few minutes from this way, the military, again, they're saying what they always do when they attack another country, which is that they will is with the 2nd group and not the people of the yes uh they said it before, it is ready. prime minister has set it to or the also address a couple of days ago that was saying that this is not a war against lebanese. this is a war against have butler,

but of course the reality on the ground is very different. israel and striking across nothing on affecting countless civilians. uh it's it's, it's their worst nightmare. the liberties have been facing incredible hardships for years. their money frozen in band, the valued it is a incredibly people will tell you and it's corrupt government it's, there's no government, there's a caretaker, government. things aren't working. so many will tell you that this is not their fight. and this is the last thing they want to do, and it very much feels like a war on that. and the latest for also hearing from be, is really army is warning lebanese not to move any vehicle south of the tony river . um, saying that this will endanger you and this morning remains in place and also saying that there is fierce fighting going on in southern lebanon. he's already miller treatment chain. so this is going to be a limited and targeted operation that has bullet infrastructure. but there is

a max of concern in lab and on and further afield regionally of course, that israel, at some point, will remain a somewhat in southern lebanon and potentially wanting to create a buffer zone. because it wants to ensure the safety of those 60000 or so is really is ready to live in the north, to return to their homes. but, and ministry solution is never the most effective way to get to this. many people will tell you that it's only 2 percent political negotiations that you can deal with this, but it seems that we're very much now into the 2nd phase. these really one minute to come under being quoted as saying that they are rewriting history. these are, these have been training for this ever since 2006, they will be better prepared than they were for goal. is that, but having said that has been the, is a far more for middle goals, well trained, well armed enemy, and i think the next couple of days or weeks we don't know will show us how much

damage israel has been able to inflict on hezbollah and how much white has while i can give to israel on the ground. certainly it's believed that the ground is their upper hand. stephanie, thank you very much for that. that is stephanie deca with an mesas live in a mon, a lot of bringing mohammad and las vegas, the media studies professor at the doha institute for graduate studies. mohammed always good to talk to you and off the chaps for the past you about as well as one, gaza. here we are talking about as well as ground defensive into southern 11 on the 1st and 18 years. are you surprised a little bit a little bit? i was here a few days ago and i and i was i was cautious. i wasn't sure that israel would, would go this route. they have superior air power and they can bombard his blah and the population from the skies with us support and cover. it's an easier route,

right. but i think um, israel's is very serious as indicated by, by what we're, we're seeing take place right now. yesterday i went back to a paper that was written in 2008 by your island in a peer review. it is really adjourned on your island as a top security official. in israel, he was a former national security adviser, and he talked in that paper about the next 11 and more looking at to this war to the war that we're, that we're seeing happened before our eyes. and he said the next 4 actually needs to be just stephanie's point. that needs to be against the lebanese population. he said, quote, and i wrote this down, we need to cause intense, suffering among the population, and quote, okay. and he had a logic, he went on to explain that the way to defeat has been a lot. it can be direct, but it can also be indirect and round about if the people's wheel is broken. if people become come to the test, has the law and resent has belong to people of love and on, then that will be the quickest route to his beloved defeat. and i think very,

that's kind of what we're, we're seeing right with these intense a bombing campaigns in civilian areas. and i think also what we're going to see on, on the border, you say that you're surprised a little bit surprised that they have gone chosen to launch ground defensive because of the superior a pallet and the damage that they're able to inflict from the air. again, why do you think they've done that given? if we go back to 2006, that war ended in a stalemate, which some would say is essentially a victory for hezbollah. and the group has only become stronger. since the end it's largely it's widely considered. you know, the strongest non state act to end the world. right. and that's another reason why i'm a bit surprised that clearly as, as your correspondence have been having reporting its advantages belong on the ground. there's no question. this is a group that has perhaps up to a 100000 fighters. they are prepared to fight in this terrain. this is where this

is where they train they know the ins and outs. they know that they know the where the mountains and the hills are. they know how to use the tunnel system. and so, as john mearsheimer said yesterday, professor of political science and an expert on the, on the region, he said that if israel invades on the ground, they will be entering, quote, a hornet's nest. in other words, there are going to be things that are going to sneak up on them and surprise them. and it could very well turn out the way that it did in 2006. but we have to see, to what extent has been a lot has been degraded to what extent they're still able to put up a fight. yeah, you mentioned us support. just how concerning is all the statements that have come out of the us, the president bragging that he knows, you know more than we know, the defense secretary supporting israel going launching a ground defensive on a solve a nation, which as we heard from the professor of international law, just a little bit earlier is a violation of lebanese sovereignty. yeah, i think we,

we have to, it's high time that we disabuse ourselves of the notion that the united states is seeking peace is seeking diplomacy. it's been a year now. so i mean, by now we should have learned, we should have learned our lesson if the united states was really interested in the ceasefire. they wouldn't be co ceasefire resolutions of the united nations. if they were really interested in a diplomatic solution. they wouldn't continue to send more and more billions of dollars worth of bombs and weapons to israel. right. so i, steven well, said another political scientist from harvard university a couple of weeks ago. he said that there is nothing that is real, could do. there is nothing that is real could do that would cause the us to withdraw support. so is real, very much drives the bus. the was, might disagree at certain times, but if israel puts its foot down and says this is what we're going to do, then the us ultimately gets on board a few months ago we were talking about the invasion of what off is the us said,

we don't want an evasion overall. they didn't want that until they did until israel made it happen and enforce their hand. and the same thing is happening now. and the, another thing that was in the defense secretary, us defense extra lloyd austin statement was warning it wrong. not to carry out attacks against as well. i thought that was really interesting because it's noticeable that iran hasn't done anything for the past few months, even after the assassination of the mas lita in pet on. yeah. well, i think if there's one thing that the united states does not want, it does not want that broader war bringing iran in. but that's what this real wants is real, very much trying to go iran into this larger war. and so far you're on hasn't been willing to, to sort of fall into that into that trap. but it's interesting. you mentioned lloyd awesome. because back in december, he was warning is real about the prospect of attaining these tactical victories but accruing strategic defeat. and that could be what's happening here. israel is killing a lot of people,

especially civilians. they are causing this kind of intense suffering that your island talked about both and loving on ending in causal and also in the west bank. but they're also creating a lot of enemies. so rather than solving their their problems, they're actually creating more long term problems for, for the state of israel lama, and mostly thank you so much for your analysis. we really appreciate it. thanks as well. the recent events 11 on being watched closely in iran with thousands gathered on monday to pay tribute to the leader of hezbollah. awesome the seller who was killed and then his randy strike on friday. yvonne is observing a 5 day morning period which was announced by the supreme lead to those at the gathering said that the wrong must respond to as well as continue to russian in both palestine and 11 on children of the palestine. they are being killed innocently. my pays in that country are being killed and no

reason we need to defend them. palestine and let them know needs to be supported. any ron need to get involved in the really the who the saw these a writer and specialist and ronnie and affairs and he's joining us live from fed on to with have we heard anything from the yvonne, especially after the us defense secretary statement warning around not to attack as well, or well actually i agree with your previous guess that there is now sort of understanding commonly shared among the law. that'll be raining officials that is really these are trying at the time being to de escalate for the situation by bringing guys many players as possible. ready including your onto this already extended by those so the clearly understands its advantage constitutes responses. it tries to make sort of balance between cost for the van jerry tally ation on the $1.00 hand and the strategic procedure is required under the jo, politically complicated situation. now the time being gone,

the other. so with that said me hurt strong statements from union offices in the past phase. the specifically, yesterday the rainy and foreign ministry spokesman came off to say that iran is not going to be a friend of anymore if it takes place and it's going to cost the hands of the aggressive. this is buffy. you're hearing from taylor on, at the base and divide into iran. generally speaking, colombia, mazda public is that we see a lot of process against the is really aggression. and that's, that's, that's the kind of pressure that directs towards the mississippi of uranium for the involvement in the situation and around maintaining that it will retaliate, but it's going to do so at a time of it's choosing are those protests still have pushing pressure on the iranian establishment to act now a yes indeed, there is a sort of public demand and there are from different segments of the society.

seeing that the power in the t of the country has been under attack after the summation of these lines, heavy aids are wrong, and the attack on the raining costs. and so this is not just one instance of the attack on ebay in close and long standing july 11 non has a lot, but it's a long list. stuff will start of activities directed by these really is conducted by is really, is the guest is not with republic and that it creates the sort of public demand among the vein in society to go and revenge. but as i told you earlier, now there is this master of complicated situation and iran tries to balance its response and respect of the context in which it's located. let's keep in mind that iran is not interested into dragging the entire west asia into a all out a full fledged bar scenario. that is the clear sign for tear on at the time being. but it's still getting back to the question. we see this public demand clearly stated by different parts of the society, including political leaders, including religious leaders, including students,

tens of thousands of people gathered in different cities as a sign of process to walk took place. you see pictures of the national and logos office the law into on here and you see some demands express, clearly on that. and just lastly, to have yvonne a said to have a strategy of what's called strategic patients, which we've heard a lot about recently. how much is that patients being tested? now certainly voc goes without saying is that this patient is not limited. there is going to be a limited limits for that. but a ron tries to, to take a deep look into the already complicated situation and different factors and factors attends the united states. is one of them bitch, just uh lets say expense expense, any sort of support to be is really routine to continue this extend is extension of

the battlefield in the region and to further destabilize that the only purpose i think and to clearly the most important purpose is to deescalate the situation, that's what pops the list of priorities for to run. but there is this profound understanding that is really they have sort of insatiable desire to continue this aggression. and now i think iran is dynamically assessing, gets positions to respond in a sort of collaborative. they may be or an independent reaction. that's something that we are already expecting to hear. much more about seeing the fact that they're on has decided so far not to play the game of a and not to give details about the concrete slabs of actions down the road for that. i think we still have to wait till the thank you very much. for that to with sadie live and pay it on and to me lowenstein as a journalist and alpha of the palestine, the bar tree that some book on israel's and savannah's surveillance industry

explains how is where the intelligence operations have focused on his vala. it's my understanding, you're speaking to various sources in the last week said lot of this again during this syrian civil low overhead, smaller cost was on the side of a side and assisted 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 is probably 3 unit, $8200.00, which is these rails intelligence um a key into the industry in the us. and i think i have a time obviously use ralph has also had a number of spies, moles within has bowl. i mean has been reports in the last day is that any rainy and sole is actually gave the location of now's relo in the minutes. so my minutes before he was killed by that, that's true. i don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me because in the last decade on site has been huge amounts of huge riley attacks any ron and a number of your writings have been working with these riley. so his bowler is

undeniably damaged, not defeated, but damaged any. ron is also concerned about whether they, ryan leadership has been compromised in intelligence. but ultimately, and eventually these are all my will struck has bola and killed this later in many miscellaneous shape. and none of these actually brings long term security, so he's ro, none of it does. because what he's rel has wanted really seems 1948, and that's continued. he's some kind of legitimacy, security or safety in the region. and none of that will be achieved by any of these actions. in fact, if anything in the last year, the killing of 405060000 palestinians in gaza, the slaughter was saying in 11 on the last few weeks has made more people, more angry, locked us in the arab muslim world, but in the welding general. and that legitimacy that israel craves will not happen . in fact, the opposite. it's making mores 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 stevens and s as a professor of politics at the university of san francisco. he says that the united states has the power to persuade as well, to stop it's offensive in both garza and 11 on was the only real diplomatic off around the was that would be of the washington would put real pressure on israel to stop this offensive. all united states really has the kind of leverage that would make nothing yahoo listened and that presumably would come from the a threat to withhold some additional military aid and other arms transfers. but this is something that the by the ministration has ruled out. so we'll see the usual finger wagging we, we support as those right to self defense, but we don't want a wider war, whatever. but it's clear that the, as we've seen and guys around the west bank and elsewhere, that that's the hard yahoo really doesn't to care about that. as long as the flow of us of materials support continues. has

a lot has actually been holding back some lot in terms of its military capabilities of they've gotten far more support from around and a mazda ever has. they have medium range missiles that are far more powerful, far more accurate and good fit anywhere in israel. we saw what happened in 2006 when they let these fly in. and there were a couple of 100 out of that. so does re lease a soldiers and civilians. and it has lock, could do the. so again, of course, that wouldn't lease even more bonding even more to are coming from the skies of i, but israel towards a lebanon. and then then we could see a possible more active iranian role. and the additional factor is that you have these are pro rated you and militia interact in syria, which are being angry at the united states for it's a continued support for israel may start attacking us spaces and other assets in those countries in the neighboring areas of jordan, so there are no any number of uh,

rather scary scenarios out there. the . let's take a look at what spring happening in gaza and as rarely as strikes on the site at the refugee camp. and central garza has kept with 15 members of one family, 7 of them children. the bomb is destroyed, a 3 story building, civil defense, cruise of searching for bodies onto the russell. several people are being treated for internal injuries and headphones as a result of a separate attack which kills to women. and his body forces have carried out another life of raids. the occupied westbank, resting several palestinians. authorities in the village of coffin, nemo, west of tamala, have urged families to keep their children home from school. because of the presence of israeli troops is rarely for. this is also storm the city of nablus, that these one palestinian was seriously injured. is really someone does have

arrested at least $11000.00 palestinians in the occupied west bank in less than a year. and if you're just joining us, as well as most a ground operation in lebanon for the 1st time since 2006, the military says it's conducting quote, limited, and target to raise against has bola, off the killing is lita half a must all out on friday, katie kind of hand reports lee is illuminating, the sky is above southern leaving on signing. 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 white for a ground offensive, which israel seized will be limited, localized and targeted against his bloss 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 are believe that it had destroyed, or most of the messiahs will have the units will at least 50 to 60 to 70 percent. and now what is right and loss is to surround this special full set is ralph is its ground operation is being supported from the strong kid the i know him away, kansas side on the law. just tell us to be in camp and living on the southern suburbs and they wrote were once again targeted and civil lodge strikes this 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. he 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 stay with us. on alex's 0, we're back in just a few minutes without continuing coverage of as well as ground defensive into southern 11 on the from a the narrative to media was from propaganda to the changing face of journalism. i have never seen the lead media consensus change. so click finish me post the codes the media. hold on just either being a journalist is that premises i get to the heart of the story amplified the voices of those who have been drowned out by the noises of war is my driving force is what

pushes me to take risks. we're just going to try to take up is a safer position. rigging the trying to find the words the truth. it's that challenge and a huge responsibility. we keep politicians and decision makers in check. so the devastating human tossed up their decisions. the reason the soldiers base themselves in this house is because it's the edges of the janine refugee cab. and from here they have, it's their view of working at the 0 enables me to make that positive voice as relevant to so that this mode that unites us, that divides us as the world. it's one of those strong for those with a strong result, indonesia is we're supposed to be solved by the right place for your business to

get off the ground of grace. otherwise, with this strategic downstream industry on your better tomorrow the . the hello on elizabeth brown and this is the news allan life from doha. coming up in the next 16 minutes is wally troops move in to southern 11 on the ground. defense of the military is cooling, limited, and targeted earlier as many as strikes hit, the capital pay route at $11.00 on the largest palestinian refugee camp. that comes

to us today also has almost said the honest truth is ready to face and is rainy ground, defensive and hot and spills or the engine may burn sylvia with his riley strikes
