the, the the, the most powerful series of he's ready as strikes on v roots densely populated southern sub ups bunk, combusting bombs have reportedly been used the time for me, the, this is all just around live from to on the is really media says hash and so see all dean, the man was widely seen as the likely successful to be assassinated. his will achieve husband as well. a was the targets.

the tails and tara in the occupied was bank is ready. will panes hit the tutor, a mercy g come killing at least 18 the palestinians. the damning evidence of these crimes. in gauze i posted online vide soldiers identified and analyzed, filed to zeros investigative unit. that special reports coming up the we begin with breaking news out of a route where there's been a huge explosions near the liberties capital. the

so this is the southern suburb of here way is rarefied to jets. pounds of the since the populates of neighborhoods of multiple as strikes is really media says his belie lita hush i'm so i feel dean was a target. as i feel dean is widely been seen as the lighting successor of his blood chief, the husband, isabella. and isabella was assassinated last week and is really, is strike and they were 7 sub or let's go to laura con, she's joining us from the root. laura, we've seen a, some of the images coming out of a route around multiple strikes. what do we know about who the is really all me was targeting? you're right, there have been around 20 strikes just in the area of a root alone, 11 of those. but in the southern stop upsets about 7 columbus has from where i'm standing in the house of baby roost. it's just to the south and the majority of

them were in da here we have seen many as strikes that before. but we know that is writing media has been reporting the hashem itself is dean. was targeted in that strike. now he's known to be possibly the next leader all has below. he's certainly in the upper echelons of his bus. so this really goes to show that these writers have been previously targeting the top minute tree. officials inside has buller but they've, they've generally left alone and the top edge loans. but so that would be, this could be a game tree to. however, we have not yet had any statement from hezbollah as to whether he was that or not, or which as to whether he was being targeted. neither from the is ready forces to it yet to confirm credit. and laura, as we mentioned also, it's a very densely populated area. again, multiple strikes our people reacting to these ongoing strikes by as well. because

so many people have been affected as well. absolutely. it's not just in and around a route. this of course is happening. mulford ultimately in the south of lab and on along the it's ready border, but also a positive matoney river, which is start to columbus has a way this is b a u. n says ignited bosses zone. it was drawn up by the united nations security council in 2006 off the war between has blah and israel. but the is right, is a cleaning for people to evacuate even further north than that from the number to the governor it. and saw that that's just north of an attorney all the way to the white river, which is another 30 kilometers away. so many people had already moved. and we know also in the, hey, what this massive strikes took place today. many people is already left as well, but that was more warning to effectuate. so we're seeing people of course,

terrified civilians, terrified running, scared, not just those but medics who, being the helping the wounded, helping civilians try to guess out. that's also being targeted according to the world health organization. $28.00 have been killed in the last 24 hours and $55.00 since the so seventy's big gun. so this is really weakening and already very fragile medical infrastructure. and this big movement of people is adding to more than a 1000000 people already displaced. laura, do we know anything more about the evacuations in b routes because of these it strikes and how many people? because of these as strikes, i have been injured or killed in the course of the day because that number keeps in rising the number does keep on going up at the last we've had from the ministry of public health was but 37 people

were killed predominantly in the south, the number has certainly gone up in the last few hours, so we still waiting for confirmation on numbers and of course, hundreds injured but we're looking at around to thousands people killed in the last couple of weeks alone. the majority of them is civilians. as hezbollah hasn't even issued a statement to say how many of their own have been killed. so we know that many civilians have been targeted. we know that many medics being targeted. but when you're talking about people leaving the homes, leaving their lives, many of the homes being destroyed, flattened particularly in the south. and there of course one x got the question is, where does a go? so some people with money are able to stay in hotels, many have family members. some people are opening up the homes for people to come and stay, but many also sleeping mountain streets, especially here in the house of

a rich where they feel they found safety here until more strikes, begun in the center. there's also people trying to leave, but very, very few flights going out so, and they've booked weeks in advance and it has lots of foreign nationals in those countries trying to help the phone nationals leave at the moment. right. and then laura, just before we let you go, you know, we want to look at the geography of the area because we do understand that the strikes also expanding. so how close is daya to the international airport? it's the only airport international airport in bay route. we understand that they've been additional strikes on the perimeter of that area. this is a very important question because people's fear, of course, that this strikes are getting close that to the airport even when i landed in they

reach a couple of days ago. so somebody in the apple a, me, the said, you update that getting close and we're very worried. many of the airport stuff have left because they fear staying there. so this is a very dangerous situation. um, now there's no doubt the international community will be trying to prevent this from happening because out many airlines will be sending and flights to take out for nationals as well. and also send in a out. but we have seen plumes of smoke very close to the airport and here is only a few. columbus has a way we got to store a plane landing or attempting to land through a plume of smoke and the smoke has reached us in the capitol here. so of course it is incredibly worrying. so people, especially is this is one of the, the main exits, right? laura, con and baby. thank you very much for keeping us updated from the uh, as is really as strikes continue earlier in the i was before us. but let's bring in

a new road a she's live in jordan's capital, oman, and a reminder, that's because these really government spend all to 0 from reporting in the occupied was bank and as well nor what are we hearing from these ready media following strikes to was of these really media has been reporting that the target is a hash himself indian. so i'm saying the is really military radio. for example, quoting a senior official saying, confirming that he was the target. but this is a, this was a large, a air strikes possibly larger than the one that had targeted the late head of his beloved house on the sloughs. we also hurts in some is really media that there was a meeting of the top level has been the leaders and that meeting included the man

in question and it was targeted by those success of very loud, very violent air strikes. a air strikes that we saw, invaded earlier to night, know, confirmation from these really military, that the air strikes, the assassination was successful. that remains to be seen, but certainly these really owning up to that attempted assassination. and it really comes in the context of a change in rhetoric about the ultimate goal, not just, you know, pushing back his beloved to up above the lease on a river. not just implementing resolution of the security council resolution reached back in 2006, but really dismantling. ready organization decapitating it as it has been that term has been used in some is really media. a quoting is really officials a new or we also understand that there's been a devastating strike into chrome and the west bank the occupied westbank. what more

do you know? this is the most devastating is really air strikes on a target in the occupied westbank and at least 20 or 20 over 20 years. these really army. a confirming that it used fighter jets to attack a building in the pull cutting refugee camp a camp housing a little over 23000 palestinians. one of the porous refugee camps in the occupied west bank at least 18 people had been confirmed that a 3 story building was leveled by that air strikes. a mother, her son, her daughter and her brother were among those killed the target according to these really army was the head of the how much military being in the area. also, a confirmed to have been killed the head of the looks of martyrs brigade in upload, cut them the military, bring the fedex, and a prominent a figure in the military being of the palestinian islamic jihad. of course,

when we talk about those commanders, we have to keep in mind these are young men in their early twenties, very little fighting experience, but they are part of the resurgence of armed resistance in the occupied west back. we've seen an increase in those formations, a couple less thing of those young men who see no way but armed resistance to confront the occupation of the takeover of their land in the territory where israel has been reading regularly and also confiscating land in and around all cities in the occupied west bank and not a swell at this time does meet an increase, hasn't they in rage and strikes in the occupied west bank since october 7 hasn't been the case. as a dramatic increase. we've seen daily rates. we've seen what the un described as a silent for on the occupied was fine while the world is brightly focused on ending

of the genocide, a war on gaza on a stopping 8 in the old lot regional war that is now sparking in 11 on and possibly in a confrontation with a ron, something very significant is happening in the occupied west. back over 700 palestinians killed in 12 months over 10000 detained in that same period and the number of homes demolished has skyrocketed, the economy shrunk quite over a 3rd. and the infrastructure has been old, but decimated all the while with the palestinian government that is on its knees financially also because of is really actions. and these really take over of palestinian tax return money. so there is no money, no setup governmental set up to help those who need to recover their losses to rebuild their homes, to reconnect water and electricity and sewage in those areas until the cut them in

particular has suffered more than most cities in the occupied west by alright no to day in amman. jordan, thank you very much for keeping us updated. let's turn now to toyota saudi. he's a writer and specialist any rate in the phase. he's joining us from to run, to head this late to strike on his beloved in the bay route. when we look at these really as strikes and lebanon, how is that likely to be perceived by iran? a while actually for iran and from a new a, from any rate in perspective, it's just a continuation of what we are already expecting from these indian regime. it knows basically no order variance cost in that this nation and mass merging the ordinary citizen as being know that the onboarding attacks are taking place in a days to be pop related uh city. i'm

a very populated part of this city and it shows a nature of these really amazing that does these attacks. but more importantly, it's big context that you see it is the framing that takes place. the cold beer just targeting this to this while they quoted targeted rates. so the target here is quite clear. it's not the one that is just ordinary citizens and they are doing, gets bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, rather than justification. so basic green box we are observing. modest proceed here is just a sort of thing claim. the thing finding minority against the majority of people that are leaving here is nothing but a systematic war against. imagine already run it's it is just the same story that we have been observing and will be have been telling the role that this is the to

mr. of design is regina. but again, we have to take a look at the context. it takes place with the green light of the united states and the west. ready know that they had a certain amount of leverage. the stuff is insatiable desire for expressions of the battles vote and for further casualties on the ground. at some point, they decided not to do not to use that leverage to do to, to stop this a complicated situation and distill behind the national body's might, the united nation secrecy calls the end of day. they had a lot of latency conversations there, but the result at the end of the day was nothing. so they couldn't pay the, for any of these far, regardless old, explains that they are looking for as this is another, it'd be good for the needs to change the global world order. and also at the same

time, we saw i sort of silence from the mess best during mainstream media and they decided not to pay di fontes, a much attention to. ready latest developments on the ground, and this is just nothing but another indicative of the double standards that we see in the rest of the cost of public expense, cost and media countries cold source times just against these really after data, mass murder, tens of thousands of people but, but what happened on the ground was the fact that united states across united kingdom, these are because she's a turn out to support to stand behind this. so he's aggressive. your behavior is well, given you assessment of the waste position, what do you mean. 1 and that the united states is saying to iran at this point,

given that iran has said that it, it doesn't want a regional as well. you run, send a message to the united states in directly saying that the principle here is to de escalate. this situation there is no interest, there is no intention to driving town rest in giants. a full threshold off floor scenario. of course, i'd be know that of the uranium farm who's the boss, a rock. she has conversations with this concert parts in the west, including in german cross and britain. and he said they called for this the escalation but is still there is there's investors that has the. ready this crystal clear message conveyed by a wrong that in case the resting continues the wrong is going to provide them with crashing guessers. this is why we have been hearing these days from several

statements when it comes to the role of the united states. this is not just limited to the latest developments. this is the same country that has imposed hundreds of sanctions against is not public. this is the same price for you guys decided to actually go in and ask for me from the range in the near deal. and now this is the same price for you to support these reviews, which is quite a game. ready cheap killer foreign policy in the wrong to support a palestinian cost. me see the car box here, and this is going to refer to escalate the ties between the old man, the deed for your agent, tars bits being iran, and the silent palm beach. but only know of but as to this context is the deer of mistrust because the rain is burn, told to practice patients to practice. so registering after last round of is

really tax after the asked us. national is my opinion. ready there on the condition was seized by and is this something that goes from, do you have a new president who was in this trip in katara? he said that to be decided to have this desperate change, obviously, condition. that's because these, these fire cease fire. and because of the business less casualties on the ground in return you wrong received nothing but a scene in which the escal. ready and bus ram stop by the continuation of aggression. so you run knows that is really, these are supported by any means taking a logically in terms of terms of all by the united states and the rise going to base its actions and diseases on the basis of this assumption. all right, that to hey, thank you very much for that to hear to. so these are rights and specialist. anyway,

you know, says and he was speaking to us there from to her on well, let's look further at reaction from the united states of to traveling to survey damage from stormy lead. in the southern parts of the us, president biden addressed reporters over the escalating tension in the middle east . the full out. all that was i don't believe it. or i just bring in was jordan cheese in washington, d. c. o rose. we just heard that from you as president joe biden saying that will

a could be avoided. and how is the us realistically, looking at these developments, given that as well appears to be on the pulse of, of escalation? the 1st we need to let our viewers know that the us president made those comments to, to the pool reporting team that travels with the us president wherever he goes before this latest air strike in southern bay. rude happened on thursday night. so the president was not in directly addressing the events that have been taking place for the past hour. so that said the u. s. has been adamant that it does not disclose the, the, the details of diplomatic conversations with the israeli government or with any other government for that matter. they say that is the quickest way to destroy any progress that parties might be making on very difficult issues. now it is also worth pointing out that while the us president said that all out war can be avoided,

there is, of course, the big question. what can it do? and certainly to, well, one of the reporters questions asking whether the us would deploy its own troops in support of the id of the was president basically shot that line of questioning down . because there have been many, many criticisms aimed at the u. s. government that it needs to do something more, and the us does not believe that military action is going to be the way to end. the conflict that is happening right now in the middle east arose has a beat, any reaction from the u. s. a to the messaging from iran, we re, new president, mostly position. one of the things you said is that any is really a tough will be met with an unconventional response. has the us had anything on that old address, any concerns around escalates intentions and the one specifically to

the us has been saying that it is a wrong knows what is best for its people, that it will not try to continue any sort of escalation the us is always repeated that it is very much going to stand with is really government in case of any possible attack. there are reports of the back door messages being passed along, but no one in the binding. harris administration will confirm those reports. again, this is a situation where the us is trying to deal, not just with the criticism, but it has not put enough pressure on israel. but it's also tried to deal with the criticism that somehow, unilaterally, it could be doing more to prevent this escalating conflict between different parties in a part of the world that the american public frankly does not want to be involved in any more. so this is a delicate moment for the buying harris administration. top officials from all

branches of the partner government agencies are involved in these diplomatic talks . but again, they're not telling us what they are discussing. while this could all be resolved. all right, to rush jordan then washington d. c. thanks very much for that. well it'd be mentioning in is really media. that's what they've been saying. say ashan saw 15 is the potential targets in those strikes on a southern bay route a. so if it is a cousin of his, well as late leader hudson has run them, he's the possible success a to take over the groups leadership. he is serving as the head of his will as executive council. and he's considered the 2nd most important person in his below now. so if it in has close ties with yvonne a, he's been designated a terrorist by the us and a saudi arabia,

or let's speak to a ne, got more to the v, a senior fellow with the center for international policy. and she's joining us from washington, dc. welcome to l 20. looking at his wells targets in terms of the strikes. how severely has his leadership been impacted? well this is latavia that the reports are still coming in, so i'm not here to report the news off of course, but with this as a nation of the top leader of as well as i know stella alongside. and iranian commander and other senior leaders a has been happening before and after i think has well as taking him major a, hit the israelis and americans even believe that the group, asthma, capitated on um, you know, is taking very, very severe head. i think that aim is to try to the potentially, you know, destroy as much of the movement as possible. and recording also suggests side is

really, is apparently had the green light of the united states to go more extreme on these attacks on hezbollah and 11 on. so has bella, obviously, is taking a major ahead and also the larger the broader access of resistance with iran also see as well as it's closest ally in the group is taking a major hit. and as you've said, that they've taken a major hit, and at the same time, his belie has said of that to move in a dozen is really so does have been killed in a southern lebanon with that indicate that the organization remains intact. i wouldn't say it remains intact, but obviously this is their land as well. that has been training and getting ready for this since the 2006 war and they've essentially come out of that war stronger and more eclipse and with more support from iran,

the closest ally. and i would say they've been ready for this moment at the same time the attacks on their pagers and walkie talkies followed by the assassinations . and now bombings have really we can the rule. i don't think you can bomb our, the entirety of this, this move on, which has an organic local grounding in the country as we size. or it hasn't been able to do that back in 2006. and even before that, when they occupied 11 non for a while. so i think we're going to see a similar situation maybe in the short term israel, essentially when this battle or a few bottles here. but in the long run, i don't think this is a war that they can win with a military solution. the way that they're doing, dealing with a boss and gaza. and also more difficult in loving, not looking at the military stack strategy around what is happening. and israel appears to have appears to be increasing its incursion in terms of way it's

heading. we've heard from our correspondence around the movement in southern lebanon is the something that is deliberate in terms of how immediate it appears to be, as well. we know, southern lebanon, obviously, is that as well as strong cold, also south of b routes is where the move in us has a strong footing, and these are the areas that are getting the major head. and i want to emphasize a lot of civilian casualties, both obviously tens of thousands in gaza, hundreds of palestinians in the west bank. and of course now many lebanese civilians and the decimal is just growing. so it's not just fighters, it's not just as mo, uh uh, that's being killed in these attacks, but a lot of civilians, many children. but i think that the, as i said, the strategy is to weaken the group as much as they can. that is rarely as have

taken a major head from has but also in the past 10 months, essentially with their northern border having been made in 6 york and on said by his bullet rocket attacks and tens of thousands of these really civilians have also had to abandon their homes and lead the northern region, and i think there seems to be the green light. the u. s. k today is released to go into 11 on and try to create sort of that buffer zone again to make the northern border say for as late as to a time. but then at the same time going back to the big strategy of the war. if you make your northern neighbor on safe or civilians to live in that area, you're not going to be able to live with sustainable and long term safe. be on your own side. and i think this is the risk.
