police in california say they detained a man with guns near one of donald trump's rallies. us secret service says the former president was not in danger. nasa prepares to launch a mission to europa, one ofjupiter�*s moons — seaching for signs of life. hello. more now on our top story — israel s military says it s investigating how a drone launched by hezbollah struck a military base in the north of the country last night, killing four soldiers and wounding almost 60 others. meanwhile — president biden has confirmed america is sending troops and an advanced anti—missile system to help defend israel. but the us has called on its ally to do more to protect un peacekeepers and civilians in lebanon, and to address the humanitarian situation in gaza.

let's speak to aya majzoub, deputy regional directorfor the middle east & north africa at amnesty international. thank you very much forjoining us. lots to discuss, one of the things that it has been striking is the evacuation orders that have been issued by israel they have been doing that in gaza and lebanon. talking about that just a little earlier on the programme, what have you found? we are seeing the same tactics that israel used at the beginning of the war in gaza and now here in lebanon. that is why we are sounding the alarm for significant civilian harm. the israeli military has almost been releasing evacuation orders for an entire towns and villages in lebanon up towns and villages in lebanon up to 100 villages as of the, up up to 100 villages as of the, up to 100 villages as of the, up to 150 villagers as of the

latest odds today. it is just instructing residents to leave their homes and travel north which is about 45 to 50 kilometres from the border with israel. the military did not specify any specific military objectives that people should stay away from so in our assessment of these evacuation orders are overly broad and not effective under international law. they do raise concerns about whether the evacuation orders are attended to protect civilians or otherwise. you save is overly _ civilians or otherwise. you save is overly broad, - civilians or otherwise. you save is overly broad, howl civilians or otherwise. you save is overly broad, how does that fit with what israel will say when it launches a strike of the strikes are targeted and specific? of the strikes are targeted and secific? ., , of the strikes are targeted and secific? . , . ., ., specific? the images coming out of 7-11 on speak _ specific? the images coming out of 7-11 on speak for _ of 7—11 on speak for themselves. entire towns have been abandoned. we have seen

israel conduct precise strikes including on 11 or sometimes targeting a single car, a single motorcycle, or a single flaw in a tall residential building. unfortunately, for the majority of the strikes that we've seen in the south of lebanon and beirut, they have been large explosions that have brought down entire buildings causing huge numbers of civilian casualties. do raise questions around what israel is using as a basis for how they are determining what is acceptable collateral damage. explain what the key concerns are with regards to international humanitarian law and especially in the context of the engagements between the peacekeepers in recent days. all parties to the conflict have an obligation to protect civilians. this includes not directly targeting civilians,

not using indiscriminate weapons that don't make a distinction between civilians and military targets. also, not using disproportional attacks where the impact on civilians is this proportional to the military advantage. we are now in the process of digging into some of the strikes that have caused high numbers of civilian casualties to determine whether or not they were unlawful. these investigations take time. from our initial obstacle back observations. we have seen destruction of civilian infrastructure, attacks on medical workers in health care facilities, and that you mentioned attacks on un peacekeepers as well. these un peacekeepers as well. these un peacekeepers are mandated to be in southern lebanon by the un security council and their mandate is a protection of civilians on both sides of the border. so, deliberately

attacking peacekeepers is a war crime and it also a worrying indication for its riposte back plans for southern lebanon. briefly, when you approached the israeli authorities for more information what have they been? we more information what have they been? ~ ., ., . ., been? we have not received a resnonse. _ been? we have not received a resnonse. every _ been? we have not received a response, every single - response, every single investigation that we do we are asking for information about what was targeted and the results of some of the investigations that they have announced. we have not received any response. announced. we have not received any resnonse-_ announced. we have not received any reaponse-_ any response. thank you very much. and a reminder we have a live page online with the very latest developments in the war in across the region. you'll find that on the bbc news website or app. a public inquiry opens shorlty, to examine how a woman from wiltshire in the uk was killed by a 2018 poisoning
