got it. >> just told him, you make the call on underdog rafael romo, to georgia state capitol in atlanta. >> this is cnn breaking news sciutto live in tel aviv. our breaking news this hour, the head of one of the most powerful paramilitary forces in the middle east is dead. hezbollah has confirmed its leader hassan nasrallah, was killed in an israeli airstrike in beirut on friday. nasrallah,
8:01 am
one of the founders of the iran-backed militant group, which has been a major antagonist of israel for decades behind many deadly terror attacks as well. a short time ago, i asked a spokesman for the israeli defense forces if he believes that nasrallah's death has somehow weakened irans power in the region here's what he said i think we'd be very cautious before saying that he run has been weakened. >> again, rockets went off just a few minutes ago, just over my home on my way here, there was a rocket that was intercepted and i had to do with my children who were very scared. we're not going to wage that iran, which is the largest supporter of terror tourism in the entire world, is weakened. what they do know is that they've been hiding for years behind the proxies, being able to destroy an attack israel, terrorize israeli civilians without paying a price i see now as the proxy hezbollah, which has forced people out of their home and tortured their own people. and it all their weaponry bind the hind lebanese
8:02 am
civilians is now paying a very serious price hezbollah is vowing to continue fighting despite this enormous blow to its leadership. it launched rockets the northern israel right before announcing nasrallah's death. israel certainly not letting up its military activities. it launched further strikes into southern beirut today, targeting what the idf says were weapons, storage facilities for hezbollah. those strikes along with the confirmation of nasrallah's death, have sent shockwaves through the region a fair amount of fear as well, regard party, a possible retaliatory response. iran's supreme leader said today that quote, all regional resistance forces are standing with hezbollah and the country's state media is just reporting that a senior iranian commander was among those killed in this israeli strike targeting nasrallah as well as death marks. a major escalation in a decade's long
8:03 am
conflict between israel and hezbollah, senior international correspondent, ben wedeman has more or on nasrallah's rise to power well wasn't nasrallah was hailed as a resistance fighter by his admirers terrorist, by his adversaries he became secretary general of hezbollah in 1992 after israel assassinated his predecessor accessor. >> in his early 30s at the time, he went on to lead his group to become a formidable military force and a major player in lebanese and regional politics a. decade earlier nasrallah attended a theological seminary and najaf, iraq or hamas, and returned to his native lebanon where during the 1982 israeli invasion, he urged his supporters to take up arms against the invaders. the beginnings of what became hezbollah
8:04 am
party of god. the group was backed by iran and led by local clerics to harass the israeli occupiers the group is believed to have been behind a series of terrorist attacks in lebanon and abroad and during the 1980s, took dozens of westerners in lebanon hostage the growth of his bullet coincided with the emergence of the previously downtrodden and neglected shia community in lebanon as a major force and the country not sinaloa emerged as an adept gorilla commander, leading an unrelenting campaign against israeli forces during which his eldest son was killed in action the united states designated the group a terrorist organization in 1997 hezbollah struggle against israeli forces on lebanese soil continued until 2000 when in perhaps his proudest moment, israeli troops withdrew unconditionally from southern lebanon and israel, which has
8:05 am
nuclear weapons and the best air force in the region, i swear to god, he said it is weaker than a spider's web but in 2006, israel and lebanon again, at war, the month long conflict left at least 1,000 lebanese civilians dead and devastated much of the country's infrastructure israel tried and failed to destroy hezbollah, which came out stronger than ever before after the war. his focus turned inward on his homeland, lebanon, where hezbollah increasingly became a key player in the country's complicated politics and expanded its network of social services when war broke out in neighboring syria and 2011, nasrallah deployed hezbollah fighters to shore up president bashar al assad's regime and also provided support to iraq during its war against isis. iran was quick to reward nasrallah with money, weapons,
8:06 am
and logistical support. but critics say his alliance with to head-on inflamed sectarian tensions. and we can his credibility as a self-styled defender of the palestinian people when the palestinian militant group hamas, his bullis ally, attacked israel on the 7 october 2023, killing more than 1,200 people in a ducting, more than 250 others his butler began firing into israel, opening what it calls all day support front for gaza, for more than 11 months, israel and hezbollah exchanged fire across the border. nasrallah said this would only stop once the war in gaza came to an end instead, more fighting and death followed in the form of covert operations by israel, which detonated hezbollah's wireless communications devices in broad daylight for two days in a row, the home button
8:07 am
helene weekend nasrallah called it an unprecedented blow to hamas, but then israel's bombing campaign killed hundreds across lebanon. yet until the very end, hassan nasrallah remained defiant correspondent jomana karadsheh is live now in brave beirut and she joins us, giovanna i understand you've been hearing explosions behind you there well, jim, in the last few minutes, we had a map massive air airstrike that. appears to have hit and i'm going to have our camera man charbel here pan over. you can still see plumes of smoke rising from that area this is on the edge of beirut's southern suburbs that predominant i mean, shia area of beirut where you have a
8:08 am
presence of big presence of hezbollah and its also so close to one of the christian areas of beirut's we are going to try and get more information on this this really jim has been the scene here across the southern suburbs of beirut, known as dahiyeh the airstrikes have been very much constant since last night you had that massive strike that. now, we know killed the leader of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah, and a few hours after that, the israeli military said that it was going to begin targeting what they said are hezbollah facilities. and store weapons, storage facilities. >> and they have been pounding the southern suburbs of beirut since last night. >> and what we have seen as a result of that, jim, we have seen a mass exited if people
8:09 am
you have these really military initially in a post on x last night telling the people of certain neighborhoods to evacuate those areas of the southern suburbs for their safety. >> they said, but what we saw is not only people in those areas, but many other parts of the southern suburbs. >> this is one of the most densely populated parts of the country. begin to leave that area late last night. i mean, we were driving around on the streets at 3:00 in the morning and we saw thousands of people who were out sleeping on the streets families, women carrying their children, people carrying whatever they could grab in this rush to get out and try and search for safety so yeah, this has been the scene here. now for nearly the 24 hours, jim and everyone is bracing for what comes next shock and apprehension here in beirut today
8:10 am
what reaction you and the team has seen there to nasrallah's death i know that to support to his supporters, he was a resistance leader. >> but there were others in lebanon who did not think very highly of him or of hezbollah. have you seen both? protests and celebrations well, what we have seen, jim, let me tell you just a few minutes before we got that statement. >> from hezbollah confirming that nasrallah was killed. we were speaking to supporters of hezbollah and they were they really believed that he was still alive. it was them telling us just wait and see. he will appeal here and he will come back with surprises, meaning that there will be more attacks and, a few minutes later we got that statement announced saying and confirming
8:11 am
that he was indeed killed by that massive israeli strike yesterday. and what happened in immediately after that? you had an outburst of celebratory gunfire across different parts of the city. and this is in celebration his martyrdom. and this is something that many within his support base, if any muslims believe that the martyrdom should be celebrated. so you've had that. we also have had scenes of people on the street. women wailing women fainting supporters, chanting their support for hassan nasrallah in the lobby of my hotel. where were staying a woman was standing there crying and she broke down. >> she had to sit down and shoes crying just repeating. >> oh god, oh lord, people are the sharp this for many of his
8:12 am
supporters, for his loyal base this was an unfathomable scenario. now, they are seeing this playing out and everyone is just wondering, jim, what comes next, because hezbollah put out that statement saying they will continue fighting. the question is, are they in in a position to continue fighting? we know that they are continuing their attacks on israel, but how much of an escalation could we be potentially? seeing? and isn't going to involve other iranian backed proxies in the region the question of course, of what level of attack thanks, they're capable of at this point, particularly as where you are the parts of beirut still under israeli attack. >> jomana karadsheh in beirut. thanks so much let's get more analysis, military analysis on these developments said cedric leighton, cnn military analyst retired us air force colonel. i wonder as you look, not just at
8:13 am
this attack that has taken out the leader of hezbollah who really defined the group for some three decades, but the latest in a series of attacks acts that have targeted other hezbollah leaders, weapons, storage sites, and crucially, those pager attacks that struck many thousands because of hezbollah fighters and operatives, is it deeply, deeply wounded as a militant and as a terrorist group in terms of what it could carry out i think it is jim now that doesn't mean that this is a permanent that this is permanent damage to as the life. there are ways that groups like this have ever the possibility of morphing into something else they have a way of surviving a lot of this. but in this particular case at this particular moment in time the israelis have basically done several things. they've carried out a decapitation strike against the top leadership of hezbollah they also took out a lot of the middle tier of
8:14 am
leadership and that makes it very difficult for an organization to exercise what we call command and control in a military sense so it's going to be very hard for them to a group together to provide not only the support, but also the means for a coordinated strike against israel doesn't mean they can't do it, but it is definitely a much more difficult endeavor for them to do something like that. then you couple that with the leadership strikes encompassing all the things you mentioned with the targeting in a geographic sense, where you going after entities in along the border between syria and lebanon, you're looking at the bekaa valley. view, of course, looking at southern lebanon where hezbollah has a large concentration of launch sites, all of those have been struck repeatedly by the idf, particularly by the israeli air force, as well as artillery and all of that is speaks to a very coordinated campaign on the israeli side to not only
8:15 am
decapitate has been eliminated in a way that makes it very difficult for it to operate it possible that hezbollah's capabilities were somewhat exaggerated, that it's proving to be something of a paper for tiger. >> and i don't want to underestimate those capabilities. and by the way, it has, it has been able to force the evacuation of some 60,000 israelis from northern and israel due to its missile and rocket barrages. there but of course, the fear had been that it could strike deep into israel, including where i'm standing right now in tel aviv with effect and you have these series of strikes now is it possible that it is less powerful than was imagine yes absolutely. >> we've seen this several times. times where we look at an adversary of force and we think that they are much stronger than they actually are. one of the key things about hezbollah was not only the fact that it was a
8:16 am
terrorist or is a terrorist organization but it also of course has this vast arsenal of rockets and missiles. you, when you throw around numbers like 150,000 rockets yes. and missiles which has volos purported to have. >> is that really means a lot of firepower is so worried about the firepower if you're on the other side of this, are you worried about the firepower? >> you worried about their ability to exercise that power into use those instruments, those weapons against you and in this particular case, what you're really looking at it is the fact that in this case, i think with the command and control links destroyed it becomes much more of a mamas want to say paper tiger, it's not quite true because they are still extremely dangerous. but it's much less of a lethal threat to israel than it was. save the day before yesterday let me ask you then, perhaps a similar question about iran.
8:17 am
>> what are iran's military? terry capabilities today to strike israel in april, we had what was then an unprecedented attack and its scale. many dozens of missiles and drones fired at israel, but but few, if any reaching their target. israel's missile defenses, proving not just israel's, we should note reach a regional network where could defenses that included us forces, but also allies in jordan, for instance, proven capable of neutralizing that threat might iran be facing? that same question today? what could it credibly do to strike israel in terms of retaliation yes, absolutely. >> and we saw that as you mentioned in april, jim that was an effort by iran in some ways to showcase their capabilities and to see if they could overwhelm the israeli missile and air defenses. but the fact that israel not only had those has those missile and air defenses but that they were connected to allied air
8:18 am
defenses and missile defenses that made it really difficult for the uranium systems to penetrate that. >> she'll and this same thing holds true today. >> the iranians can throw a lot of stuff against israel, but the likelihood of succeeding is really quite low. given the fact that the u.s is in a position to help as are other allied nations and israel, of course, is prime for just such an eventuality leighton thanks so much and still ahead this hour on cnn newsroom, we are continuing to, of course, follow developments here in the middle east concerns growing still about the possibility of an expanding war. >> what we're hearing now from the white house will have a live report. and that's next carb winning is everything's stupid. next saturday at seven on cnn. >> it is amazing visitor, bioactive fulfilled. it has all the essential nutrients you need for your skin, your

made to chase your passions. >> we were made to put them in a package and call your like reaction from us officials after hezbollah confirmed today its leader, hassan nasrallah, died in israel's strike on beirut on friday. >> cnn senior white house it's reporter kevin liptak joins me now with the latest kevin, have you heard reaction from the biden administration do this killing i think that in and of itself is pretty telling jim, it gives you a sense of just how precarious this moment is for president biden for the white
8:24 am
house for the entire administration. >> of course, president biden has been trying, in his words to de-escalate the situation in the middle east and certainly this is the opposite of that. now, that's not to say that american officials aren't welcoming this news, at least unofficially behind the scenes, we've heard officials say that certainly no one in the white house is mourning. hassan nasrallah, they say of course, that he has american blood on his hands, but i think the timing of all of this is going to raise some questions certainly about how united states is influencing israel in all of this. because remember, president biden and top white house officials had been trying to negotiate a ceasefire between israel and hezbollah. they've been working on that on the sidelines of the un. all of this week, they were furious on thursday morning when netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, came out and appeared to reject that ceasefire because they thought that they had gotten agreement from israel to sign onto it the u.s. and top officials,
8:25 am
including biden himself, were very quick to say yesterday that they had no involvement in this strike in beirut, that they weren't given a heads up and it all just sort of speaks to the fact that the u.s. sees this moment as a very precarious one and one of certainly high risk of a wider regional war. and they think that that could have devastating consequences. and we heard that directly yesterday from the defense secretary, lloyd austin. listen to what he said an all out war between lebanese, hezbollah and israel would be devastating for both lebanon and israel and again we anticipate that which see a number of people displaced casualties that or exceed what we've seen in gaza of course, we are a planning organization. >> we plan for all contingencies and we'll be ready for any contingencies
8:26 am
now, lloyd austin had two phone calls yesterday with his counterpart in israel, yoav galant. american officials have been talking to their counterparts to try and get more information about this, to people who have not spoken are president biden and the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. they haven't spoken in more more than a month, according to readouts from the white house. and i think that gives you a sense of just how much influence president biden thinks he has on his counterpart at this moment, which doesn't seem like a lot this is the second major ceasefire effort led by the u.s. that the u.s believes that the israeli prime minister, at a minimum was not sufficiently interested in. i wonder regarding this most recent attempt to white house officials acknowledge that it's attempted a ceasefire along the northern border done well, they don't think it's done yet. >> they say they're still trying to work through it, but i do think that they feel at a minimum misled in some part by
8:27 am
the israelis because they were talking to them as they were working to reach this agreement over the course of the beginning of this week. and in fact, when we heard from the white house on wednesday evening, they made it clear that they thought that israel was going to sign on than next morning netanyahu said that he hadn't signed hainan and then went on to deliver a very fiery speech from the rostrum of the un. so at a minimum, i think they may feel misled, but certainly they are going to give up. they're never going to say that they're giving up when they sites ceasefire efforts, but it is difficult to see how they will proceed now well, you might say that this strike speaks volumes about netanyahu's actions sure position on the ceasefire. >> kevin liptak. thanks so much well, a potential blow to iran as well. and the danger of further there escalation in the region. next, we discuss what comes next whole story.

8:33 am
deeply concerned over the potential for escalation following nasrallah's killing as well as if, how and when iran might respond a short time ago, i spoke with idf major doron spielman, spokesman for the israel defense forces. we discussed how with the killing of deaths rela, us officials fear a wider conflict would break out even as as efforts continue to get both sides to calm. >> take a listen out this attack because as we've said from the beginning hezbollah is what stands in the way of israeli civilians moving north. >> and peace in the entire northern part of the country. israel clearly felt that, that message allah is a major target. he's calling all the shots as a second command, we work very closely with the united states to our greatest ally. but israel at the end of the day has independence to try to fulfill its military objectives in order to protect its own people the truth is though that. us officials has been frustrated by their
8:34 am
relationships. certainly the white house with benjamin netanyahu and the perception is that the u.s. has invested diplomatic you can other capital and backed israel certainly militarily since october 7. and prior to october 7. but that netanyahu isn't returning the favor as it were for since since in terms of getting a ceasefire and hostage release deal across the finish line, in gaza is that a fair criticism? >> but i could tell you, jim, that the last year there has been the greatest challenge in this are history, where we are threatened by seven different fronts. the houthis in yemen hezbollah in the north hamas and gaza. and that just the name a few, this is the hour that is all will look back and the world will look back and say, who stands by his role in this hour and the u.s. i'm not a politician, i'm here on behalf of the army has been the greatest friend as supported israel and understands our objectives regarding a ceasefire for an entire year. hezbollah has been firing rockets over 9,000 rockets, missiles, and killer drones don't want to talk about a cease-fire. now that israel's actually taking the assertion
8:35 am
to try to protect its civilians were calling for a ceasefire, as we've said the israeli army says that we are open for any of those this israeli civilians can go back to home. and his villa withdrawals beyond the litani what we know is that right now, his voice, every one of those rockets and missiles inside one of their own homes, there lillian holmes, you've seen the pictures. they don't care about the lebanese civilians. they don't care about israeli civilians in the world said we're demanding is a ceasefire should be demanding that his villa pull out if hezbollah does not withdraw to the litani river is israel prepared to send in ground forces? >> we have made preparations and we've said very clearly that all the options winds are on the table, are ground forces have been training over the last few days, the last few weeks. it's not something we want to do. we don't want to send our sons and daughters. i don't want to send my children into lebanon the fight hezbollah, who has been hiding beneath the ground and it's probably waiting for them to last thing i want to do however, i just came from the north, it's a ghost town with rockets and missiles falling
8:36 am
everywhere. >> we just have no choice. >> i mean, what do we not going to bring our civilians back home? it's it's a terrible choice bergen, cnn national security analyst and host of in the room with peter bergen a podcast peter, you've covered this region for years, for decades. in fact i'm curious, big picture to begin here what is your reaction to this strike and what do you think follows? is this the spark for a broader regional war latter question, jim we've been talking about the possibility of a wider regional war for almost a year now and it hasn't happened because many of the major players don't want to make sure regional war because it's just loses all around the iran. >> iran has a dilemma which is he wants to respond, but after the trump administration killed soleimani, the head of the rocky republican guard never
8:37 am
response was pretty muted that was a big deal for iran. not there wasn't there wasn't just their proxy force and their response has been trying to kill president trump and john bolton, his national security advisor, who has 24/7 secrets, secret service protection out. there will be a response, but it's likely to be below the threshold of an absolute war. and the larger the other question you asked, i think that we tend to think of you killed this leader, that leader it's sort of the group's going to fold a bunch of leaders have been killed and hezbollah, and there'll be many strikes against them. but this is a 30,000 man army. they hundred and 50,000 missiles. and they're not going to go out of business. they have surely have a succession plan will probably find out who that leader is the new leader is and we've made the mistake before assuming that you take out the leadership that it's going to really damage a terrorist. group few years ago when a series of hamas leaders were taken out in gaza by israel. and of course, hamas survived for many years,
8:38 am
strengthened is so i wonder though, if we get, then take a step back to strategic effect of this because when you look for instance at gaza, israel's god gold going in there post october 7 was to destroy, to eliminate hamas. hamas certainly has been depleted, but it is not been eliminated. and i wonder if is the goal. the same again here for hezbollah in lebanon to eliminate certainly a much larger target in number occupying a much larger piece of land in lebanon. what is the strategic goal as far as you can discern it? >> well, i guess, you know what you just outlined what maybe the goal which is to really know on every nonsense you eliminate hamas. you can't eliminate hezbollah, but sandy degree them and i think netanyahu must surely be coleridge to the fact that the united states election is november 5. united states is preoccupied with its own election i don't think it's
8:39 am
any secret that he would prefer president trump to become president. he met with him in mar-a-lago, amongst other things, that will be recently and so i'm sure he thinks the time is on his side to do these kinds of things because us attention is elsewhere. as you were discussing with somebody who would cast me in the ceasefire negotiations are basically dead and had been dead for a long time. i think unfortunately. >> but i think the big point here, you've had people in shin bet say this a lot. i mean, you can win every battle is still lose the war. and i think that israel is very adept at winning every battle. but, but ultimately, the solution is well-known to everybody, which is living in peace with its neighbors. fire two-state solution of getting there, of course, was very hard indeed, it is well-proven. peter bergen, thanks so much as always back after a short break with more week and asked questions like,

8:45 am
footing has the israeli government let me put the state of israel and the israeli people on tonight and the center of israel that put them on a level of alert that they haven't been asked for. i'd say for maybe a month or so, but it's not a level of alert than they used to. this was an isolated incident recently now they've been told no gatherings outside of more than 1,000 people. and we think about normally on a night like tonight, a saturday night, you'd have a big gathering of hostage families and supporters demanding that the prime minister either step down, step aside prioritize getting the hostages released from gaza. now this of course falls under the ambit of these new guidance by the home front command, which is, you can't have more than 1,000 people there that worked. so that'll be interesting to see what happens they're but more broadly speaking, that is the government preparing the people of the central of israel for the potential tonight into tomorrow through monday. this
8:46 am
order runs to that. they're going to be under threat in a way that they hadn't been under threat previously from perhaps a volley of ballistic missiles that hezbollah, of course, has that question. can they get them out? >> hezbollah has them. so do the houthi houthis in yemen and there was a presumed houthi missile, not long ago within the last hour or so, i think the sirens were sounding. we could hear them from here, not in this district. right on the coast and tel aviv, but in the east of the city and further all around the central but israel, i think by my accounting from last sunday, so weak now there's this is the third ballistic missile has been fired from the houthis from yemen, trying to get very close to tel aviv in the center of israel and getting shot down each time. now it's a long distance for those missiles to come. but the home front command could be tested tonight. the houthis could fire to from the south. and hezbollah could fire seven from the north of variants like that. the houthis could put up

drones as well. so it's that complex scenario that's going to test defenses are too overwhelm defenses so well, another night to watch the skies over tel aviv, celic, they with some trepidation, nic robertson, thanks so much still to come today. russia is criticizing israel, condemning the killing of the hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah. what they're saying, and how russia is getting heading involved in this conflict, and how its tactics in ukraine could provide a blueprint for hezbollah and its fight against israel walz and j.d. vance in their first and only face face-to-face debate. and cnn has it covered with the best political team in the business a cnn and special event, the vice presidential debate tuesday, it now on cnn i for having utis for ten years, i felt a loss of control. you, cora, helped me get back on track at you, cora, we make uti relief products. we also make

join me. >> i can.com and get paid when you say tv on the edge tomorrow at nine on cnn live in tel aviv. we are continuing coverage of major developments here in the middle east. hezbollah today has confirmed its leader, hassan nasrallah but was killed in an israeli airstrike on friday. israel and hezbollah continue to exchange rocket attacks across the northern border today, president and the what? president biden at the white house have yet to make an official public comment on as well as death with us now is jill dougherty. she's a cnn contributor, an adjunct professor at the university of georgetown jill it's interesting russia is not involved in this conflict by name. but as you and i well know, russia loves to throw fuel on the fire here in conflicts in which the u.s. is involved in russia is increasingly allied with iran and therefore hezbollah. iran's proxy see just to the
8:53 am
north here what is russia's interests in where this con, this conflict goes from here and might it be attempting to push it? in one direction or another what russia i think is adverts self so when you ask, what are its interests, it wants to big picture increases influence in the middle east and then also i think as you mentioned, when you have conflict, almost anywhere, but especially in the middle east, i think moscow calculates that it brings in the united states, or even deflect attention by the united states to other issues. >> let's say ukraine. and then it gets pulled into the conflict and that makes things very difficult. undermines the united states a lot of questions at any point that this conflict gets hotter
8:54 am
as to the circumstances stances underway which the u.s. >> might get dragged in to defend israel. or perhaps become a target, right of attacks by iranian proxies around the region are there any circumstances? because under which russia would become directly involved i think that's a great question actually, right now, i'm looking at some of these statements coming out russia and just reporting in general, their their state-controlled media. >> there are those who are saying that russia would be on the side of hezbollah. but, you know, jim, let's look at the history. going back to 2015 when, when russia had that military incursion into syria you have russian troops and hezbollah coordinate and work together now and then you mentioned ron, ones, hezbollah and iran is supplying weapons, right now for russia to use in ukraine. in fact, you crumbley is accusing russia, are
8:55 am
actually saying that there has bowl of fighters it's an accusation, but hezbollah fighters in ukraine. and then i would also say they get political and financial paybacks in a way because they get more russia, moscow gets more influence in lebanon and also these organizations let's say, hezbollah hamas the houthis, many others who were invited to moscow in february. by the way, for a meeting they help to bust sanctions that russia is under. so it's complex, it's kind of a web as you phrased it, but this is what russia is trying to do. >> it's a great it's a great point. i remember shortly after october 7, russia via the wagner group, sent a surface to air missile system hezbollah, showing quite direct involvement. jill dougherty,
