landed in tel aviv, um, as for the point you were making essentially that you, you felt it wasn't, is really failure. it does seem that they've intercepted, beg your pardon. most of them is sales. they've now told people that they could leave their shelters, and we're not getting it report of any casualty. so the casualty count appears to be a 0 or at least very low so, so that would suggest that these release of actually done a pretty good job of supporting this attack. right. and so we're seeing that a lot of missiles, it looks, state taxes are like what we're seeing from like television channels that are immediately posting these things, multiple angles with the same impacts, but they do seem to be in very like not and city center population dense areas and we have seen unexploded ordnance of uranium missiles targeted concrete. and so some of them is also didn't explode because they don't have a complete a 100 percent success rate. so yes, the control system will let through. they will prioritize targets for where they jo

. envision they're going to hit a greg stoker, a former us army special operations member. thank you very much for joining us. you know, geopolitical and this for a minute. press news. thanks for your time. it's 1800 gmc and if you are just joining us, we will be going to elijah many a in just a 2nd military and political and list from brussels. but i want to recap what's happening. so it's 9 o'clock in tel aviv 9 o'clock in bare room, just past 9 o'clock in their front. what you're seeing is what happened. just over an hour ago, iran launched an attack, launched about $2200.00 plus missiles at israel. and the iranian revolution in regard for then confirmed may be public announcements and confirm that a they were claiming this attack they were behind this attack. they said this was the beginning of their response to the killing of

a son to throw out the chief of hezbollah. that was on friday and also their response to the killing of a smile. any a be then leader of hamas while he wasn't there on uh that was in late june, june 31st. so this has been the 1st stage. they said of their response and they also warned as well not to respond to that as being in um a total bringing in a cuba l door. a political analyst to joining us from tel aviv akiva is good to be back with you. uh i, it looks like uh, based on what i'm seeing, it looks like you've changed location. you're not in your safe room anymore. well, i follow the owners of my government and when the home friends come and those are there, it's clear. busy where you can go back, i can go back to uh, wireless from where i usually talk to you. i'm happy to do that, but at the same time, um, you know, i,

i keep with the water in the safe room and a flashlight, then whatever is needed then. and when i look out of the window, there is nobody in the street. you can hardly see any cause we're not back to normal. the good news is i am expecting my relatives to come back from europe tomorrow and the day reopen the space. so maybe we will be able to set of right the new year together. where's the other members of our family? okay. all airports had been shut down, but now you're telling us that there reopen people are out of their uh, safe rooms and that security poster has been lifted by the is really military. i do . are they saying that the attack is over just for now, or are they saying that the attack is over over a just for now? it's look over. yes. and i very, it's a kind of

a who has the last word and it gets about national dignity. who is a big it a rumble or full fly? the v is rarely a ride during government, cannot afford to uh, that'd be around. yes, had the last word. how did they dare attack the really even at jerusalem then our capital. we have to maintain our debt. there is that we lost in october the 7th. and today you know, nathaniel is the happiest man on our since. who remembers the cat seems to remember as the blunder was more than 1600 is why any civilians killed just a year ago. um, you know, we are looking at the uh, what was a nightmare. uh, a regional war that will involve iran directly. um,

you know, attacking is rarely is when. busy so the, the nightmare is becoming a vision. as you say, the nightmare is becoming reality. do you know what your prime minister not implying by that that you support him, but he is your prime minister. do you know what he wants to do? do you know where he is taking your country? i know for sure what he doesn't want to do. he doesn't want to join the military victory. and i think what is right to do things that i've been on. oh, really be studied in uh that school. so, but military to that school, everywhere in the next century. but having said that, there is a consensus among the is riley experts that teaches that

the, if you don't turn this victory into some political victory, meaning of getting down to the negotiating table. having the americans pursuing the day, where's the salaries and other members of the are of the countries to isolate the ex reimbursed? and the best thing is, what has we've done the doctor is power. let's do something, was it? and this is, you know, i own, but rob said that the yes or are 5. you said it back in 2000. if you guys are far is know the fall of minutes. i saw headlights today. you know, it's in the an offer that there is no problem now on august. i'm also right to keep it l door. thank you very much for sharing. first of all, what that was like when you were in the safe room. we spoke to you an hour ago,

and for joining us again this hour, we appreciate your time. i don't do much at jordan any rocks and also close their airspace. and these were the scenes in jordan's capital, a mine where alice's heroes team, witness the rang and missiles flying overhead. so this would have been about an hour ago. jordan's army has urged people to remain indoors. so again, those misses with a miss. i was fired by iran flying over an into georgia engine air space. and those are ultimately the size that we see here landing or being intercepted over the skies of telling me i'm the so who does enjoy this capital. i'm on because these really government has been out since you are from reporting with israel, from the i have a i have a guest maybe 5 minutes ago, no later than 5 minutes ago who told me he heard reports, but i don't know what the sources of more miss silas flying over the or through jordanian air space. have you seen or heard anything

well after that initial it on an attack, there has been nothing in the sky is over. jordan, as the army has said, the incident is over. but of course the jordanian aerospace is still closed but when it comes to projectile flying in the sky, there has been no confirmation at all from jordanian authorities about anything after the incident that had taken place nearly an hour ago 0. okay. but as regards um is really special comments. we heard daniel, who garvey, is really military spokesman a short while ago. what did he say? daniel rosari, the army spokes person, giving an update essentially saying that people can now emerge from their safe rooms in our basically after the attack had taken place, saying that there have been some hits throughout israel, but they're still assessing the damage. he also said that this will not go on

answer that israel is shortly going to respond, and it's worth mentioning, what we saw back in april, just to draw some parallels here, to give the viewers in context when they don't have lunch. nearly $350.00 cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and drones, to israel. there was, it is really response nearly 7 days later, while it was kind of muted because there was pressure from the united states to the is really not to escalate the situation further. this is surely a different beast. it's also important to note that israel had had this intelligence from american counterparts about a pending attack. but these rallies had said that they didn't have any information about a preparation be made by it on. that is really air force. planes were patrolling all over the middle east and their intelligence didn't find anything yet. but none the less that they were prepared due to their air defenses. this is an air defense system that is iron clad, which is why the casualty rates. whenever we see rockets launch from anywhere to israel, the casualties are so low because you have an air defense system that is 3 fold.

you have the iron don't missile defense system for short range rockets, the arrow and the david sling for longer range projectiles, which were probably dispatched during this latest rock and fire from 8 on. but some of the images that we were seeing on our screens. and i was listening in on our coverage. it's important to note that these are interceptors that are meeting with beat on in missiles in the sky. and then following the explosions, you see are from buyers that are being lit up. because when one projectile is hit with another in the air of it is going to spark, and when it lands it's going to spark as well. you can tell air defenses from a distance. you can tell what they look like if you've been on the ground covering this conflict, looking at missiles and other air defense interceptors being fired it israel, but there have been hits throughout israel. there have been a lot of shrapnel as well that has fallen and we're also getting reports in the occupied west bank of a level of lot of shrapnel that has fallen and in fact injured

a palestinian there. okay. so reporting from amman in jordan. thank you very much. the spring in elijah many military and political and list joining us from brussels, elijah, your take on what you've seen. of the witch, seen the sky and all that is red illuminated and the wrong as connected to de escalate. the reason why you're wrong is hating age, read. it says not only because of its guess that this my time of year was paid at the price of the nation when the violation of iran sovereignty was carried out by his right. but also for 2 other reasons. while with the sasha nation of state for something astronomer, they head off hurtful because the head of cheers will not do we need the piece of that economy. the he is the one a key and he the defeat of the resolution. and he is the leader,

ideologically offers the law, and the set point a was raised. it was the re, every advantage. fortune or that bass, none of the flu shot and who is the head of the i r g t 11 or so the person who gave the older piece of the author come to a 110 of the ringing constitution said, i think so many who has the control over the, for all the forces, and he has to ride to declare war on any other country. therefore, what we have seen here, 1st of all, it's cleaning being, i mean that then yeah, who's moran? because the basement sides, when people the draft for elijah, because pause i just spoke to multiple guests from is really, does not appear to be supporting their moran at all. they see this as a, as a success as a victory because there are no casualties to be reported at this hour. and this was

the attack and now is behind them. but if, if i may finish the sentence, it's the boost of them. lots of a lot, syria and lebanon on the on ice will see wrong if it is not conception is right. because these people being in them or on, when he's right, sometimes the page wounding 3000 out of 850000. and that with victory off to victory, more they all the hesper law and the access of the resistance by watching these me sighs rushing over the country, illuminating this guy of is right. that gave him a ride to these people are redone, this is damage that these have inflicted or the no inflict on reserves what's happening in the east red and how these besides the hit, the objective has become the red one of them,

a lot of these know and then not to lease off at the beginning of all these commanders, english and december, 3rd, generation and marketing savings trauma and stopping at bravo peroration. and then this trip today is change completely the course of events, but it also has funding been, i mean the thing you know, presented instead of the future leader of the me, denise who's going to punish anyone that elijah, you said a ron was quote, escalating to de escalate, which is, you know, it's a, it's kind of a kind of a strange quote, but it's when we've heard several times in the last few days, and really the 1st time we heard it was from israel that that's what they were trying to do in 11 on against has the lot. the idea of escalate to de escalate is essentially show your military muscle show that you're stronger in order to deter your enemy and, and prevent the bigger war if everybody's doing the same thing and is adopting the

same logic. where is this taking us? it was its oh and they had no been. you mean that then? yeah, he is the one who dictating the temple. he's the one who's going to one devin and he's the one who's dr. and or i'm a pull on the guys again this, it really is not on the how much. and then done again, sleeping on page for data and then went to iran and the sauce. and they said it's my and he that he bought the, the, the rain in cost with him in damascus. he is the one who is a skid 18 for his pass and the reason to remain in power. and because he's feeling all these victory, he does. if he concerned about stopping the war on the country, he wants to continue. and this is why you want to see, i'm going to come in your wall. if this is worth your while, elijah menu, a military and political and list joining us from brussels. this, our thank you very much for your time. iran is low make revolution regard. core has

released the statement on the attack saying that it comes in response to the killings of how much leader is mile. and the, as the leader has done this rela, and a range in general, a bus no solution. as we mentioned, the i r g c says the attack is in accordance with the, with a runs right to legitimate self defense under the united nations charter. they also say the strikes are due to the escalation of israel's actions supported by the us in the massacre of the people of lebanon and gaza. statement, also ones that if israel response to the operation, it will face further devastating and crushing attacks. so he decided he is a writer and specialist entering in affairs. he joins us live from there on. um, so he, i, i'm not sure we have it. yeah. we do actually having up on have it up on the screen right now. we see people celebrating, that's what it rang, and the top right corner of our screen is what it rang. and t v is showing right now, and what it's showing is people celebrating, i assume and different. oh, yes, exactly. this is possibly say, let me just bring some latest updates from the ground into ron. we are still

waiting for another statement from my, our to see the 2nd. the statement is going to come soon and severe banking for further details on the recent attack that will be uh, let's say, discussed on the statement. but speaking about the previous the statement. and also there was this point that they have hits, ministry and security objectives in this attack, and we are seeing some initial reports coming in state television about this successful nature of this attack. also added to that is the statement that came from uranian nation to the united nation and said in which b c, this statement that they call this action me go rational and legitimate response to the terrorist attacks, including the assets nation on these, my and the, and us as nation of secretary general office, but law and of course a long list of,

of noxious behavior that is released have conducted against is not makes it public so far. we have seen sales restraint upon so tonight's, from a rainy inside it only except for one night attack that took place previously. but we have this access and they started getting in touch with their scientists ministry advisors. the attack on costless and other activities against the country which triggers the around to conduct this attack. we know for the time being that it's the 1st round, you see the skies of it on nearly clear which indicates the possibility of a next round of attacks. and costs picking up the vibe here into ron. we know that previously in the past days we saw tens of thousands of people chanting, gathering in different cities across the country, demanding for a good tally ation. after the summation of his well lost leader. and this puts

a certain amount of pressure on the you are on the rainy and officials to react and that was not it. you see now people chanting and they being do, the slacks of physical law is specifically in philistine the square some. they're very well known in iran and one last only to find made us dave or just just if you may just though there is just one point and then i'll, i'll be of i'll finish that. the rainy and people who were at the rest by prime mr . natania who yes, the sit just today, but the message was not been received into rod. it's received the slightest attention from the people knowing the fact that he is the person who has a long record of lying full space this acquisitions. and now we see this why we see pictures off his block, these pictures of mass a lot across the city. and i think that ron is preparing for a wide spectrum of scenarios down direct to him. is it over what's

next? well, i cannot say for the time being, but it seems that it's just at 1st, as i heard from this state, television is just a 1st round. i think the most important thing to be monitored in the course coming minutes is the 2nd, the statement by r. as you see, it's booked sure sort of show a road map for the force coming concrete plan of action. but there is this emphasis dash is, is really decide to continue this to reject, to meet there would be a crushing gas or down the road. so at some point, let's keep a short part of the bowl is in the cord of the 3 of these is gonna tell you how these types to stop this. not this, this insatiable desire to expand the battlefield. there is a possibility of escalations box for the time being. it's just so many red lines

crossed. and iran at this point has decided to go through a turning point have a power, big plastic shift of behavior. and that is something that rolls the risk of the possibility of further escalations. okay, so here's studies joining us from different one. you mentioned that there's going to be a 2nd statement from the i or gc it runs revolution regard course. so we will be looking at the what they say, and that statement. thank you very much. now the is really or me said that it would respond to the attack at an opportune time, it released the following statements to is really civilians as the attack from iran was happening as well. same because they do us citizens. a short while ago, missiles were launched from iran into the territory of the state of israel. you are asked to be vigilant and act exactly according to the instructions of the home front. come on over to pete's adult. so if you are just joining us, we are continuing with our breaking news coverage from the middle east. israel's military says iran has launched almost $200.00 ms,

silas towards the country. these were the scenes in tel aviv when israel's arrow defense is interested in some of them as us the and those were the sounds. and the scenes over tel aviv original me is the founding director general of the teachers and press club and a retired colonel engineer force or training us from tel aviv. thanks for your time this evening. what do you make of what's transpired over the last 19 minutes

a i think this is a, another of them just go to collections is we have seen that happening into the seer . seriously. i missed exploration of uh, yes, yes. and whether they can use your man, see, we'll keep it to the instructional guys and how much care facilities then it's about it. i mean, they do uh, we do joining a mouse and, and now see where they are on the top. i should go to say it's is running uh and then, and now the information that they've been informed that is ron richard voltage. so usually conductor for work in some use proxies and taking on his work and openly. and again i, i was surprised by that remark scales digital so uh,

so you just lose the audio where we are, you, are you still with us? okay. unfortunately, i'm with you. okay. you're with, you're with us. sorry. i didn't catch the very last bit of what you said. i catch the beginning where you said you were missing. you said there were miscalculations over the last year. so to be completely honest, i i to be completely honest. when you said that i thought you were going to send these calculations from israel, but know you said from youngest and worn from his beloved the kind of collection for me mister pollution, but visual. uh i would, uh, my good friend a, a t, but uh that is both a should have offered me for a peaceful solutions, but unfortunately this, this is something that was uh, also nice and i think no big mistretta condition. is it easy? is it the wrong house or how does it cost on, on his real because it's

a 2nd refresh the memory offs of viewers newer a tech a year ago by come us week was immediately joined by a tech by f as by law. and therefore, we didn't choose this kind of uh, escalation uh and we had and we live in the middle east where you've got to witness a even for 160. okay, well there a couple of things i'd like to pick you up on, sorry to interrupt, but this is this a, this is a, this is a usual is really talking point. this was forced on us. there are so much over the last year that was a conscious decision by israel. yes, the october 7th attack happened. and yes, that was conducted by almost everything that happened after that. that was israel's decision, including killing 41500 people in gaza. and just over the last 10 days, what does it know? 1800 people. 11 on a look. uh we uh,

after the uh, 2nd level, we really chose that piece and, and, and if, yeah, our enemies who that left us alone, we will do nothing. i mean, but once you were up there, the search field is effect on october 7th. and then immediately the officers, you are a 3rd, but has been that order instructed us to do it. does these people look, gentlemen, please don't do this. this is not civilized. how many we had to defend those? or uh, okay. so this is the logic of self defense is the same logic, frankly, that any armed resistance group uses that. here's the thing with self defense, is it everybody can agree with it intuitively because self defense assumes that there is a victim that is defending themselves against an act of aggression. but if you ask, come us, of course they would say that the palestinians, and specifically those in guys had been victims of is really active aggression,

occupation and blockade. so this logic of self defensive cuts both ways. does everybody have the right to self defense? i think that's my question, does everybody have the right to self defense and to use that as grounds to justify an attack upstairs. but i like to remind you that in 2005, we pulled out of the guys and the people guys, the size of the israel still occupies guys, are okay. well, or as per the ruling of the international court of justice, it was either june or july. i forget me, i forgive me. i forget the exact day they ruled that this is still an occupation. when is real controls the land, borders and controls? pretty much every aspect of life in gaza, this is still considered under international law. an occupation like is this has been adjudicated in the world's top court. and israel last that one. this is gaza is an occupation. okay, you said the quote say date uh,

which city facing uh, how much does uh, which is talk to by the way like jonathan walters, butler hold till the destruction of the state of. ready and i don't know of any other country love, which is a strengthened by extermination bodies neighbors and would do nothing to protect itself. so yes, i will. i think the palestinians is probably adult, the same logic historically. right. um, can i ask you about regional conflict? do you think benjamin netanyahu is trying to engage around in a direct for um and do you think that he's trying to precipitate version change and iran based on his comments yesterday extensively addressed to arrangements? and let me see if i can find the exact quote when a ron is finally free and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think. everything will be different is benjamin netanyahu trying to effect resume, change in iran?

a hey system for like okay, by law i'm not a big fan of that then. yeah. so um i think he is he wants, uh, somehow is a good that a run doesn't become nuclear power and he knows that he needs america for this. so yes, he is something in the back of the mark. that is, this is an opportunity to involve america and he would push for it as far as the change, i don't think is what is the be involved in any is speculation? is it and ideas we try these and up and on back and, and not getting 82 and we failed. and the 3rd is where the should talk about the reading change in these all itself looks as though originally founding director general of jerusalem press club were tired, criminal and these really are for us. thank you very much for joining us on elses

here. thank you for having. okay, let's get an update now from ali hoshevely who's in a route for us on the what can you tell us? you're in the lebanese capital and of course 11, and we'll be watching very closely what just happened over the last 90 minutes. over the skies of teller, re tell a v this a rang and attacked $205.00 missiles on televi launched by iran. the well, does it know lebanese element in this whole app is today with the i a jc flaming got its attack was in retaliation to the killing is rose, us as a nation off as not in any of the lead off from us. and is just us as a nation of says will laws lead to so it has on us, on the 11th. so there's a lebanese elements. yeah. and of course, as we watch, i know what the past ones who have been watching this is a very a intertwine i price is a conflict on that many players in,

in iran was if play advice was from the back stage. now, until the 2nd time after the 14th of april, what seeing if they radians stepping into the scene with has the lot over the past few days on the very strongest ready pressure. the us as a nation of it's the, the, the attacks and they both these really ground to, for the ration these old. just give us an indication that lots of what has happened today from here on, i say the readings were saying could be in retaliation. but another possible phrase could be also to relieve, has what law from the pressure that it's on the, from the is ready. so it's these allies playing the rules, each one aside, and sometimes trying to relieve each other. it's kind of a support attack. we've been seeing as well over the past 11 months since they

started the, the support from 1011 on trying to relieve uh how much thing because uh, from this radio tax. now we're seeing the radians trying to really has the law from these various docs. so ali, of course, we've been focused the last 2 hours on what's been happening and is real. what's been happening over this guy totally rebuilt. we shouldn't forget that really the headline just before that and i dare say going forward is going to be also what's happening in 11 on the is really military saying that they had conducted some what they called quote limited and targeted raids. that means boots on the ground and 7 level, and that's the 1st time since 2006, they're saying that they did that has the law is denying it. they're saying these really military did not cross the border into level well, over here we have to drop a thin line between what the is really is was saying between well then you have had got resetting is press a and what has,

what law has the 9 because what the guy was saying is that over the past 200 days, the where around 70 operations within the beneath that it's where he's not, we don't know, at least i didn't hear him saying that this was overnight. but since yesterday they've been my think of troops on the border. we've seen has the last launching rockets launching anti. uh thank. massage towards the is really most pre bases. i'm just a few minutes ago. does not the claim refresh the sponsibility from has the loss of attacking a bus stop, which is now called a show me a with a catch your shuttle kits. and them hitting a group off is ready for just that. so there is something going on on the board that we've not seen is really a ministry getting into the minis board as board as to the moment, please. there are no pictures of them. ended up in these borders. i mean with

respect to media, we've seen what diana daniel had got a, i stated in his read your message. uh, with a lot of uh, videos from bunkers from tunnels. but he wants to clear saying that these went over the past 200 days, and he's not claim on the side. and he is out that these were overnight or else as a result of the house and reporting from the lebanese capital they wrote. thank you very much. so let's recap. we are continuing. we are breaking news coverage from the middle east. israel's military says iran has launched almost $200.00 missiles towards the country. sirens have sounded throughout israel and we're allowed explosions. and those guys over tel aviv is missiles were interest of to advise really air defenses is real, temporarily closed, it's video space after the garage of missiles. it runs revolutionary guard corps, the i r g c says the attack was in response to the killing of hezbollah. a leader s on this rolla and they roots on friday, separately, ringing army officials were also killed in that strike. and just before the uranium

inside the tax on israel, there was a shooting in tel aviv near the border with java. at least 6 people are reported killed in the attack. several others injured. the assault happened on the busy jerusalem street, is really police say the shooters were shot dead. going back to that menus now the rang and miss, i was attack on israel us presidential by is monitoring the ring and miss all attack from the white house situation room. let's go to houses. here is a white house correspondent, can we help it? kimberly, what do you know at this hour? yeah, well the president abruptly changed a lot of his schedule and that includes the white house press briefing, which has been pushed back at least 19 minutes. the latest time for the press brief now is not to jim t. we also know that there is going to be a pentagon bracing around the same time. so we're hoping we're going to get a lot more detail about what has been happening. but with regard to the president, we know that for the last few hours, he has been in the situation room for

a part of that time. he was with the vice president, comma le harris. they have been watching and monitoring the iranian attack on israel from the situation room, receiving regular updates from their national security team. and we also know that president bided has directed the us military to aid israel defense and to shoot down the miss files that were being watched from a ron towards israel. now, we also know that with regard to the position of the united states and it's past year in the region, we've talked extensively about that and its capabilities. we know that there have been a, at least in terms of the number of soldiers there that has been full, stirred in recent days and weeks to now have a presence of about 43000. and in terms of that, the national security council spokesperson, john curry,

a sudden recent days that he believes that the pastor would be a deter it. but clearly that has not been the case of but still the position of the white house has been. but this is a robust capability to vend us interests and will also allow israel to be aggressive in the future if it needs to be. so we can only speculate what aggressive means now that the attack has occurred. kimberly, that's really interesting and i no longer have that in mind that the us had thought that increasing the number of troops in the region was going to be a deterrent. so interesting, given what we've seen of the last 2 hours, that's kimberly how it get reporting from the white house. thank you very much. a reminder of what you're seeing on your screen on joined by omar monticello at the middle east council on global affairs. you're joining us from new york from our quick, quick 2nd of patients if you don't mind. so i can bring our viewers up to speed on what they're seeing. the top right corner is the range and t, that is what a ranges are seeing on their television. and they're seeing celebration,

you see the yellow flags there. that's the around the ring and capital celebration after iran launched $200.00 plus missiles at tel aviv. and in the center of your screen, those are the pictures from about 90 minutes ago, 2 hours now of that attack. so it was live on our cameras, some of them as soon as were intercepted, even when that happens, there strap no way, i can still be dangerous some of themselves. we're not interested. okay. oh more. thanks for your patience. how. how do you analyze what's happened? this evening. well uh this was expected, i mean it on has a bit of a credibility problem and not responding in the past 2 weeks to the major solved on it's key outlined, junior partner in the region in hezbollah and loving on that, including the, obviously the assassination of the secretary general has to invest a lot, which is a huge blow, not only to has about law and the resistance 11 on, but also the entire resistance network that it on has back and helped forge and

develop over the past 40 years. and so, you know, it on is in a bit of a dilemma itself. in one sense, it has to respond to that action, including also bombings in, in, in syria and in yemen over the past few days. or else, you know, it's leaving its allies out to dry. at the same time, it didn't want to invite a direct attack from these relays where the americans india. and i think it chose to, to make this attack, which is different from the one we saw back in april because this one was, one was not choreographed in the same way for these realists response. so we're seeing some missiles come through also israel's defense forces taking out some of those missiles. but i think this is, you know, likely going to invite to potentially a larger board that much of the region has tried to avoid over the past 11 months. and that's what i was gonna ask you, based on this ring in response. does that give you a sense of where things might be headed?

yes, i mean, i think be there any instead. well, it was really better not respond or we'll have to respond. but these really is, of course, will respond to this. there's no question about it. and so i think you're going to get into the type of retaliatory action back and forth that spawns greater war. but israel, in some senses, you know, has been trying to invite this war. it's done productive actions for several months . and obviously what's happened and loving on, i think it's very much feeling itself, nothing yahoos feeling itself. you know, i commend you on your questioning for the is really a guest that you had earlier in the, our, you know, you, this is typical, the type of chest, something that we're seeing from israelis without any recognition that you know, israel needed to do us as health every step along the way in order to find how mass itself. but you know, israel's capable of massive destruction as we're seeing and loving on it's capable of the huge intelligence feeds and you know, waging really destructive warfare. and so you know, it on uh,

i think has tried to avoid that. but it's on the path to some type of war with israel. yeah, i mean that's really the question is, um, we don't know exactly what the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants. so he's, he's a, as he has his, under his leadership is really military has assassinated hezbollah, chief that's a major tactical victory for him. they've assassinated the then chief of hamas. there is now a new chief, someone, presumably israel likes even the even less in the form of the i guess in one is in garza. and we don't know really what's benjamin netanyahu once? well, i think he wants indifferent warfare in order to reshape his political fortunes. after october, 7th, you know, every analyst was saying, you know, this is the downfall that the app we've failed is rarely as soon as this war comes to an end. he's out of office. i always pushed back on now because one of his, his co ocean government in my opinion, but it is very stable. and 2nd of all,

nothing yahoo is the survivor. and he knows that you can use war as a kind of a re not to reshape reality. and he needed to redeem himself in front of the eyes of his public. at 1st that was the destruction of gaza. maybe for all time for these release. you know, he comes in his, the concrete here of the destroyed guys and removed it from the calculus of his real. but i think he saw a chance, especially 11 on to maybe push against hezbollah. and when he realized, you know, after those attacks that he caught has pull off guard and, and, and dealt them a major blow the, oh, the resistance network is weaker than we thought. i think they sensed weakness and he keeps pushing towards pushing their 11 on pushing and young and pushing in syria . and now i mean, potentially against the rock. i started get on a war where he thinks he can bring the united states in a deal. eat on a great, i can't tell you the numbers on. yeah, sorry, go ahead. go ahead a. it's just, you know, it's a, it's reflective of the very limited strategy is real house. it doesn't have

a strategy or an end game because that there's no military solution there. it needs a political solution, it doesn't have that. and so it strategy is all about re shaping the balance of power in its favor, constantly degrading its enemies capabilities to fight that includes within palestine itself. these are behind mouse and others, and it includes in the region itself. but there's no end game to that. again, you can constantly degrade, move along as they used to do you. they used to call what they were doing to him as in, in the gaza strip. but your enemies are always going to be there. there. ready is going to build back and you can never predict what comes down the road in the future in the form of the enemy, the technology, they use, the capacity they have. and so israel leaves and just, you know, nothing else besides this all the time. we'll fight forever by the sword, you know, and it's just indefinite conflict. that's the way the world ear amara. i'm on a fellow at the middle east council on global affairs. thank you for joining us today from new york. and they're been seems and celebrations across casa, in response to the ring. and missiles fired at israel earlier on tuesday,

and is really a strike on the, on the se, routes for refugee camp in central gaza. field 13 members of one family, significant more children. there were also celebrations taking place in geneva. september is really forces carried out the deadliest operation in the occupied west bank since the war in gaza began layla laura joins us now from bethlehem in the occupied west bank. what. what happened there? i understand i heard um and forgive me i no longer remember whether it was a guest or, or a correspondence, but that there were casualties or a casualty in the occupied westbank from that range an attack from i think following, shrapnel. yes. so according to policy and medical sources, there's been one policy from that was who has died from his injuries from shop? no. and at the time, the se, in the palestinian authority training facilities in the north of jericho where for

other people were also injured by strap know how the civil defense these are also. ringback saying the following miss aisles shots, no damages caused damages in other areas across the west bank in areas near to need the boss and for the so we're also seeing a relative amount of here among palestinians as to these new style attacks are happening because they're targeting is really settlements, which are illegal under international law and built on stolen policy in mind in the west bank. and they're essentially natural between policy, new towns and communities. so these rockets are firing and be targeted very close to policy in towns and areas, which is why we're seeing this shop know kind of cross over into these areas and why we're seeing scared, because unlike is really smart, getting messages from me, it's really government to say, go and hide in bach shelters, policy is have no bomb shelters to hide and there's no way for them to run. there's

no way for them to seek safety or shelter. how did people react in the occupied westbank when they figured out what was happening? so people are reacting in several different ways. so once the walk it started going off, people started here in the homes are shaking, and the guy just says there's no way for people to hide. people are going out onto the streets and onto the roof, tops and watching what's happening. and we're even see some level of celebration for the attack center. and many pas to use are saying it's because they feel like this is the natural response to is, feels ongoing, more on events. so that's been coming up to a year long more which has killed 41000 palestinians over 41000 palestinians. and on top of that, the natural reaction to israel that takes long completion of palestine. so the reaction is a bit of a mix between this year and kind of mixed feelings,

watching these kinds of things play out well. also being in the line of crossfire, a mailer, laura joining us from bethlehem in the occupied west bank. thank you very much. later. joining us on set is met her on come round that professor of government at georgetown university in guitar. and you're also head of a ring and studies of the arab center for policy studies and research. and thanks for rushing to the studio. things, there's a little unexpected the what's the message from iran? iran has been preoccupied with establishing deterrents. and so the message from tapper on was that is a could not carry out the killings and assassinations in the wrong and get away with it. and if you remember in the aftermath of the april attack a wrong about that, if i'm the ronnie, an official or

a ronnie and target square hit a wrong with it is a new territory. i mean, the recent killing of house on the slough. i'm i, r g c commander was also killed. and so this was a message that iran would not allow is a to act as a free hand and iran would have, would have to respond. so if you say the message was to tell is real, well, you can't assassinate his blog, chief, you can't assassinate hamas chief in debt, run with impunity. do you think? do you think this will do the trick then these 200 missiles? do you think that starting now israel will think twice about how you know, what hold on. i'm going to i'm being told that there's a white house briefing that's going to have to live and that we're going to be able to carry it. so i'm just looking for there it is. all right, let's listen it. thank you. crane and good afternoon everyone. i'm here to provide a brief report on the iranian ballistic missile attack against israel that occurred earlier today. i can take just

a few questions because this is an ongoing situation and i need to get back to my desk today around launch nearly 200 ballistic missiles towards the targets. in israel, the united states military coordinated closely with the israeli defense forces to help defend is real against this attack. us naval destroyers joined, is really your defense units in firing interceptors to shoot down inbound missiles, president biden, and vice president harris monitor the attack and the response from the white house situation room joined in person and remotely by their national security team. we are still working with the id yes and the authorities in israel to assess the impact of the attack. but at this time and i stress at this time, we do not know of any depths and is real. we are tracking the report a death of a palestinian civilian in jericho in the west back. we do not know of any damage to aircraft or strategic military assets in israel. in short,

based on what we know at this point. this attack appears to have been defeated an effective. this was 1st and foremost the result of the professionalism of the i d f . but in no small part because of the skilled work of the us military and meticulous joint planning in anticipation of the attack. as we are also aware of reports of a terrorist attack and java, the took the lives of the number of israeli civilians and wounded several others today. our condolences go out to the families of the victims and to the family of the palestinian civilian in jericho. obviously my update here is based on early reports and we were served the right to amend them and just as necessary is we gather more information. the word fog of war was invented for a situation like this. this is a fluid situation. we will consult with the israelis on next steps in terms of the response and how to deal with what ron has just done. and we will continue to monitor for further threats and attacks from iran. and it's proxies. we're

particularly focused on protecting us service members in the region. and with that, i'll take just a few questions. yeah. uh. preparations from running on or off by or in the meeting. we've been very clear for some time now that us citizens should avail themselves of commercial means to depart web and on given everything that's going on, we have said that from this podium from multiple podiums, we continue to say that, but we have not begun triggering a non combatant emergency evacuation and neo, and do not have an intention to do so at this time if that changes, we'll let you know. but we continue to reinforce the point american citizens in lab and on should follow the guidance from the state department, which is to find sybil. a civilian commercial means to depart because in extremities we may not be able to get them out safely. yes. so what is the us you

on whether is really telling me what is your concern about is feeding to a wider escalation. or we have some initial discussions with the israelis in the aftermath of this, at the military level. and also at the white house, the prime minister's office level will continue those conversations and the hours ahead. not going to prejudge or get ahead of anything. we want to have some deep consultations with the israelis and a lot more to report to you after we get the opportunity for deeper discussions. and the reason, obviously this is a significant escalation by a ron, a significant event. and it is equally significant that we were able to step up with, with the israel and create a situation in which no one was killed in this attack in israel. so far as we know at this time, we're now going to look at what the appropriate next steps are to secure 1st and foremost american interest, and then to promote stability to the maximum extent possible as we go forward. yeah, back in april the president's message to israel was to take the winter when the us

and israel were able to intercept the garage or is he recommending similarly unlimited responses? i will not from this podium share of the president recommendations, he will have the opportunity to share them directly. we're going to have, as i said, ongoing consultations with the israelis this afternoon. this evening is too early for me to tell you anything publicly in terms of our assessment or in terms of a what our expectations are. these relays are the advice that we will give them to announce from this podium. but i can tell you that he is tracking this minute by minute. we are very much, deeply in touch with the as rallies. and in so far as we have cause to read out, we'll make sure to read them out with you. just last question. then alternative, thank you, j april, after around struck israel. us issue a number a sanction. as a consequence, this morning the president said or be severe consequences are and carried out. what are the consequences and are they more severe and sanction?

totally legitimate question and that answer will come based on the conversations and consultations we have with ours really counterparts. it's too soon for me to stand before you today and give you an answer. what i can tell you is this. we are proud of the actions that we've taken along side is realty, to protect and defend israel. we have made clear that there will be consequences, severe consequences for this attack, and we will work with his real to make that the case. thank you very much. thank you, jim. so thank you, jake ok onto the rest of the rest of the programming. here. this morning president vine was braced by his homeland security advisor, list sherwood randall all the latest impacts of hurricane helene, and this afternoon he will receive an interest in, in your agency briefing on the hurricane helene response and recovery efforts at the present direction. the banker, you've been listening to the white house press briefing and the 1st part of that directly addressed. what we saw happened 2 hours ago, namely, and

a rainy and missile strike. aimed at tel aviv 205 miss styles that the i r g c around the revolutionary guard corps, say they fired at israel. well, we just heard from the white house here that there were no is really casualties. and that they consider the quote is they consider that attack to have been defeated and effective. let me run that by mirand. come robert, who has been onset with us professor of government at georgetown university here in kentucky. so you were telling me just before the briefing, this is a message by rhonda israel that they, that is real, cannot assassinate leaders. whether it's the hezbollah chief or the former, i'm us chief and they're on with impunity. then we just heard from the white house there saying as far as were concerned, this attack was defeated an ineffective. so do you really think israel right now? got your arms message. well, they did, but what message was heard, right?

is it is, is open to debate. clearly is a law has been trying to expand the war beyond garza into a southern 11 on it to be rude and now of course into a wrong. and by bringing a wrong into the conflict, it has also succeeded in bringing the united states into the conflicts as we just heard from washington. and so we're in a very difficult predicament. they, ronnie, is have to respond somehow. they have now declared that this round is over. they have told washington, we are told that iran does not want a wider why the regional war. but at the same time, of course, nathaniel who is must be quite please. because now of course, having been emboldened by a number of intelligence victories,

he can now legitimately go after a ron and hit the wrong the and targets already as we just heard. washington is causing this an iranian escalation, rather than is a, the escalation or response to. is there any escalation? okay, um may i run come robert, professor of government at georgetown university in guitar. you also have a range of studies of the art center for policy studies and research. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. earlier i spoke to political and list to keep a l daughter who was in tel aviv. he told me that israel was likely to respond to this arrangement i but there is, it's a kind of, uh who uh has the last word. it's about national dignity who is a big around. busy busy oh, pool by the beach is ready, right? doing government and all defaults to uh that did ronnie has had the last word. how

did they they're attacked the v in the evening at jerusalem capital. so we have to maintain our debt. there is that we lost in october 7th and today you know, nathaniel is the happiest man on our since, you know, attacking israel and is ready to retire in think so the, the nightmare is becoming a vision and you say the nightmare is becoming reality. do you know what your prime minister not implying by that that you support him, but he is your prime minister. do you know what he wants to do? do you know where he is taking your country? i know for sure what he doesn't want to do. he doesn't want to join the military victory, and i think what is wrong with james and i have been on a william be studied in uh that school so,

but military to that school everywhere in the next century. but having said that, there is a consensus among the is riley experts that teaches that the, if you don't tell this victory into some political victory, meaning that getting down to the negotiating table, having the americas, let's say, like date, where's the saudis and other members of the are of the countries to isolate the ex, 3 bodies. and since it has reserved it's death during this power, let's do something, was it? and this is, you know, i own by rock said that the yes or are 5. you said it back in 2000 that you guys

are are for, is know the bottom that i saw headlights today. you know, it's in the and all fact that there was no problem there on august also. hello, i'm your kyle with all continuing coverage of the breaking news of a wrong miss file attack on israel. just about 2 and a half hours ago we saw almost $200.00 missiles being fired towards israel. we had loud explosions in the skies over tel aviv as missiles intercepted by it's really a defensive wrong revolution regardless. cool, says the attack was in response to the killing of hezbollah elidah, how some of those rather, and berries on friday. several iranian army officials were also killed in that strike. well, these are some of the scenes i'm sounds that we saw in tel aviv once. they is right, as well as ad defensive intercepted some of those missiles list.
