he r-i-z-z two for two four to four i'm dr. sanjay gupta in atlanta this is cnn

york is cnn newsroom with paula newton hello, and a warm welcome to cnn newsroom. >> i'm paula newton in new york at 9:00 a.m. and beirut's where israel is carrying out new air strikes. and fears are growing that the exchange of missile fire between israel and hezbollah could turn into a ground war. now us officials say israeli troops have mobilized

from israeli air defenses police say pieces of an intercepted missile crashed in the suburbs all this is happening after israel killed hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah, prompting new fears of a wider war in the region. as paula is pledging to continue its fight while iran says, israel will face quote a crushing blow for the assassination, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his country is now one step closer to achieving its military goals. >> who gummi khadem, the elimination of nasrallah is a necessary condition for achieving the goals. we have said, returning the residents of the north safely to their homes and changing the balance of power in the region over the years because as long as nasrallah lived, he would quickly restore the capabilities we took away from hezbollah. that's why i gave the directive and those rather is no longer with us. >> earlier, cnn spoke with former israeli prime minister

naftali bennett. we asked him if a ground offensive would be necessary to achieve israel's military objective. listen well, the objective is actually to remove the threat of hezbollah once and for all hezbollah has been terrorizing israeli people for about 35 years now. they've shot tens of thousands of rockets on israelis throughout the year. the years murdered hundreds of israelis. they killed my own best friend and it's time to remove this whole threat from israel and this is an opportunity. how to achieve it. you could do it with or without an incursion. i'm not going to give the government advice, but this is what we need to do because this is a watershed event and a huge opportunity the dea for more. >> let's go to abu dhabi where paula hancocks has been standing by with our updates. i mean, paula naftali bennett, you heard him there and he reminded us again this was the

conflict that israel has prepared for, for so many years now something, you know so well from your experience, there what does it seem that israel's intent on doing now in terms of preparing for an escalation that would include ground troops there's no doubt that the public signaling is that they are preparing for a ground invasion. this is what they want hezbollah to believe. this is certainly what they have to prepare for as well. in case it does become a necessity one israeli senior israeli official though tells cnn that it's not their preferred option and we remember back in 2006, just how damaging that war was to israel and just how difficult it was at the time. and certainly even more difficult for those civilians on the lebanon side as well. so it's something that israel has to think about very carefully, because what

they are doing at this point is the aerial bombardment they say and we've heard this from the head of the idf to soften in their words the hezbollah targets so that they could go in for a ground incursion. now we are seeing troops being taken up to the border was sealed in the areas according to a us official, areas being prepared along the border, which would suggest that would be potentially where troops would be stationed for a ground invasion. but we are hearing as well including from the israeli un ambassador. that's they don't want to have an income persian into lebanon at this point. so but we have been hearing from the idf that it is an option that is not the only option. let's listen to peter lerner iran looked very closely how we've dealt with hamas, the leadership of hamas, and how in the last week-and-a-half, we've

effectively decapitated hezbollah from its senior leadership all the way down to the operational and tactical tickle staff. >> there is a lot to lose here. i don't think anybody is interested in a further escalation, a broader war. but israel needs to be prepared for that of nasrallah, certainly that has been a massive blow to hezbollah. it is demoralizing for the group is not necessarily going to have direct impact on the control and command and the operational capabilities of the group. but of course, israel has, for weeks now have been taking out a commanders in different areas of hezbollah. so that's certainly could have an impact. and of course, those pager and walkie-talkie explosions that belong to hezbollah, just last week is going to have an impact as well. but israel does know that the assassination of a leader does not eradicate a

movement. it is something they have been doing for decades with both hezbollah and also with hamas and certainly those groups have not been weakened significantly. so the question of course, for israel now is whether a ground incursion, a ground invasion into southern lebanon is necessary and it's a question that has many in the region on tenterhooks, paula yeah, absolutely. >> paula hancocks. appreciate you keeping us up-to-date there. we'll check in with you again. we want to go live now to dr. tania baban. she is in beirut. she's country director for medglobal lebanon, and i thank you for joining us. dr. with so many displaced now. and the airstrikes really ongoing this hour, how are civilians in beirut and beyond frankly, coping with everything? >> thank you, paula, for having me to be honest, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to find the words to describe what we're seeing on the ground. we're seeing that as this scenario unfolding all over

again, thousands of people have been displaced from the south into beirut. and more displaced from beirut and to the streets with no shelter to go to. the designated shelters right now are at full capacity that necessitates necessitating the ministry of education to open university campuses. and parsecs to hold the more displaced people from within beirut i mean, this comes on top of the fact that lebanon has the highest this number of refugees per capita in the world with 2 million syrian refugees and almost 3,000, 300,000, sorry palestinian refugees. this with everything the country has been through in the last few years, this war has really been the nail in the coffin, so to speak, causes are overwhelmed beyond their capacity, capacity with injuries coming in constantly. >> as medglobal we've been on the ground with local and international humanitarian organizations working around the clock, but unfortunately, not only is the financial aid

only trickling in, but we're finding it very difficult to meet the large demands that we're facing in terms of basic needs for the displaced and to be able to bring in shipments of medical and medical supplies to support the ministry of health to give those to the hospitals that are in the front lines airlines have stopped flying into beirut in all our shipments have been grounded doctors, this brings me to my next logical question. this is only right now been going on for a few days. what challenges do you fear you will face if this continues for weeks, potentially? >> the ministry of health months ago has asked us to gear up to plan up to the end of the year. but what we fear is that this danger will not only affect lebanon, but there seems to be a scenario that can, it can escalate to the whole region. and the implications of this can be really unimaginable. from a humanitarian standpoint. the question is not why we should

prepare or how, or where should people go to? the question is, why is this war ongoing for the last year? why has this not been stopped? there are many civilians in many children and women that are being killed as bystanders. and there needs to the strong action to make this dog hezbollah itself as you know, very well, it is a political and a social movement as well as a militia. of course, they have been very divisive in the last few years, especially. but how are people reacting to net? now who's promised that he continues to strike at quote our enemies. and but at the same time trying to reach out to lebanese citizens saying to rise up against hezbollah i'd imagine there is a lot of shock and quite frankly, confusion on the part of many civilians right now. >> i mean, of course there is confusion, but i refrain from answering like the political

aspect of this. but what i can say is the whole country has been stressed for the past year. and like i said, we've been witnessing what's been happening in gaza. and we know that this would be trickling down into lebanon. lebanon is a small country and like i said, it's already overwhelmed with everything that's been happening in the past year that can collapse the beirut blast. and with this happening, the ministry of health can only hold on for as much as it can to be able to cater to the injured and the sick people on the ground many people have fled the country and the people who stay are still probably hopeful that this will stop in the next few months and we're left with no choice. this is home, it's so difficult to decide whether or not you can leave your home what what do you take with you where do you go? it's just one of the most difficult decisions i've ever faced in my life. and i hope it doesn't get to that you know, you're so right that it has

been for a generation that people in lebanon have had to make these decisions on again off again about whether to stay or to go or where to seek shelter dr. tania baban. >> we thank you for your insights. so we'll continue to check in with you. appreciate it thank you so much now, after the break, kamala harris reacts to hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah's death a while on the campaign trail, plus we're talking about how the middle east is factoring into the u.s. presidential race with our top political analysts. that is next and j.d vance in their first and only face-to-face debate. and cnn has covered with the best political team in the business a cnn special event, the vice presidential debate tuesday at nine on cnn did you know slinging has all the election coverage for the best price election coverage for the best price election coverage for the desk prior best price election coverage for $40 a

us officials are warning that israeli troops may be preparing for a limited ground incursion into lebanon non, but they stress israel, those not appear to have made a decision as of yet. it comes after an israeli strike killed hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah in southern beirut friday around iran is now calling for an emergency un security council meeting to quote, stop israel's ongoing aggression meantime, us leaders say they do did not know about the strike in advance, but president joe biden is hailing the death of nasrallah as a welcome development, stating his death from an israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of americans, israelis, and lebanese civilians ultimately, our aim is to de-escalate the ongoing conflicts in both gaza and lebanon through diplomatic means. years mr. biden, earlier in delaware

he says, now, meantime, democratic nominee kamala harris is monitoring the situation in the middle east while mpaigning on the u.s. west coast, cnn's priscilla alvarez has more vice president kamala harris, echoing president joe biden on saturday over the developing situation in the middle east, saying that israel has a right to defend itself. >> and also calling for de-escalation, saying this in a statement, hassan nasrallah was it terrorists with american blood on his hands across decades as leadership of hezbollah destabilized the middle east and led to the killing of countless innocent people in lebanon, israel, syria, and around the world. today, as well as victims have a measure of justice now the vice president also joined a call with president joe biden and the national security team to continue to get an update on the situation, review, the u.s. military posture in the region, and also direct those tinubu diplomatic efforts but all of this was unfolding as the vice president has been on the

campaign trail on friday, she was in arizona speaking on immigration along the u.s. southern border, then on saturday, she was at a fundraiser and on sunday she will be at another fundraiser here in los angeles before heading to nevada for a rally. now the situation in the middle east has fact jordan politically as she has also had to grapple with some protesters at her rallies who are protesting this situation in gaza. and in those moments, the vice president has said that the administration is working toward a ceasefire and calling for de-escalation in the region. now the vice president, i'm told by sources is continuing to monitor the situation as she's on the trail the next several days. and also staying close with her national security team priscilla alvarez, cnn, los angeles donald trump, meantime, a hit the campaign trail on saturday, making a stop in wisconsin, he focused on immigration and border security his inflammatory rhetoric was on full display once more attacking harris is record after her visit to the border, you told the crowd that every

town in america would be quote transformed into a third world health whole if harris is elected border czar, harris went to the border to lie and the most shameless and horrible way possible at the very site where she released so much suffering, misery, and death there is no greater act of disloyalty than to extinguish the sovereignty of your own nation right through your border no matter what lie. she tells kamala harris can never be forgiven for her erasing our border. and she must never be allowed to become president of the united states during his speech, trump again referred to undocumented immigrants who commit crimes as animals and called them, quote stone cold killers joining me now from los angeles, cnn political analyst ron brownstein, he is also the

senior editor for the atlantic. >> ron, i'm glad to see you and glad that you're going to help us out here. i mean, look, it has been weeks now and most principally in the last few hours that i have been schooled by middle east analyst when i say that the biden the situation looks impotent when it comes against not netanyahu. and clearly the way he wants to press ahead in both gaza and now in lebanon. they said no, no, no, no, this has nothing to do with impotence that it's calculated. so if we try and then reflect this onto the campaign, can you explain what's at work here? because this continued refrain from both harris and biden that there needs to be a ceasefire certainly doesn't seem like anyone is listening yeah. >> look, this has been the pattern for 30 years. i mean, bill clinton left the meeting when that you would famously say, who is the blank, blank superpower here particularly with democratic presidents? by netanyahu has a long history of kind of taking their advice and

then deposing in the trash as he walks out the door. so biden has been has put himself in this position really over time. i mean, he talked about the bear hug after october 7, he thought he get influence. netanyahu by embracing him that people who worked for clinton and obama, were dubious of that. i think the events of the past year has confirmed that. no one in american politics from one, the death of the leader of hezbollah. but the question of whether israel has a kind of landing, you an end game for this escalation of military activity, both in gaza now and in lebanon is a genuine one. and biden has, i think put himself in an incredibly weaken position by refusing to impose any real conscience once is on netanyahu over all of the times that he has said one thing and done another with us about us

advice yeah. >> not reluctance to do anything seems to continue for both trump and harris though, ron, what are the risks to their campaigns if they are seen as being too critical of israel yet neither one really wants to take, you know, take that chance and it's striking. i mean, it is still more striking for biden and harris because the overwhelming majority of their voters are deeply disaffected from the way netanyahu has prosecuted this war. i mean, there was the one poll a few months ago, he had a 6% lot of fronts has put tremendous focus on seeming tough, right? you saw the way her border speech went on friday where she talked about her role and prosecuted

transnational gangs and she died does not really i think want to accept the most fleeting ways signal any daylight, any more willingness to confront netanyahu than biden has done. she's not want to let trump portray her as someone who was kind of soft in pursuing these challenges. isn't the mideast. >> but i think that people around her certainly. >> and i think the broad range of experts in the democratic party are deeply concerned about the direction this is heading, even as they may share some of the israeli successes on the battlefield in disabling a terrorist organization or at least debilitating a terrorist organization yeah. >> and you do mention her speech at the border there. i mean, look, her border policies looks more like the republican policies of old. this could be a different era. how far to the right as she stepped in terms of policy. and could this be a winning move or does it risk

alienating her? you know, faithful who were looking at her going these border policies seem in your words, pretty tough yeah. >> i mean, i think there's a little bit of both the biden administer the fact is the challenge of the border has changed it under the biden administration. the challenge has not been so much people leaking in the dark of night hoping to melt away into the population in phoenix or los angeles are used in the challenges people openly presenting themselves for asylum because they know that the process takes years and while their cases are being adjudicated, they can stay in the u.s and after a few months, begin to work the biden administration took a long time to kind of acknowledge that change in the problem on the ground. but when they did, they announced a significant shift in policy, which just had a significant effect. i mean, the number of encounters on the border have gone from about 250,000 a month at the end of

last year, that 50,000 a month. now, harris is it's basically signaled that she will continue in that direction, extend that direction. this is still not the trump policy though. >> ron brownstein, always good to see you appreciate it. concerns are growing about a wider conflict in the middle east after the killing of the top hezbollah leader still ahead for us, the u.s. believes israeli troops a, b, preparing their next move will lebanon the on the receiving end ramadan? >> the on cnn has arrived. >> we look at the news of the weekend as questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn our people have spoken something racist to say. you go to hell. >> and all wait up. freestyle. >> that's too much i want donald. >> now, can you splice that by

spotless house for $19 the world's news network? >> a quick update on our breaking news story out of the middle east, israel says it's carrying out new airstrikes today in lebanon and fears of a wider war in the region are growing after israel's killing of hezbollah's leader in beirut us says, israel is moving troops to the border with lebanon as possible sign of preparations for a limited cross-border incursion israel says a ground operation is only one option is considering meantime, the two sides traded fire saturday, including israeli strikes on beirut, lebanon says more than 30 people were killed and close to 200 wounded. hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah was killed in an airstrike friday hezbollah said it will keep fighting while iran is threatening to deliver what it says will be a crushing blow against israel protesters in

israel are demanding their government turn its attention from lebanon back to the hostages in gaza. more than 1,000 people gathered in tel aviv saturday demanding prime minister benjamin netanyahu focus on freeing those still held captive by hamas in gaza though some believed that targeting hamas ally, it has belonged, is a step toward keeping israel safe you're asking me if the current latest operation what he did i hope that it will continuing to drop a terrorist attacks against israel. the fact that these are more tense days is that there's other activities in lebanon, doesn't change the fact that he's still there. and you can do everything to bring them back safely it's a different problem. >> we should attack hezbollah. it an case move.

>> but first, we have to but we can to. get all our hostages back home. now, alive love, he is a columnist for haaretz and a former adviser to shimon peres. >> he joins me now live from tel aviv. i'm glad to get your perspective here. to follow up on what the former israeli prime minister naftali bennett told cnn saturday. he claims that this is a huge opportunity. his words for israel to remove this whole threat of hezbollah is that plausible in your estimation? and at what cost to most israelis and civilians in lebanon? >> again and again, they israeli fantasies of eliminating all its enemies by force it's a good idea, but it's not achievable. hezbollah good dow hit hezbollah is

weaker right now no doubt about it. but chris bella will not vanish. the ideas of his bella will vanish and the solution again and again, i will say here is not by force. and these were sees everything as being sold by another war and another aggressive attack it doesn't lead us to nowhere and given what you're saying to us, what is the mood in israel? we just heard from some of the protesters there, but israel could be now looking at wars on two fronts with hostages still struggling to stay alive in gaza. so we saw about 1,000 protesters there but certainly not tens of thousands that have come out. and it does seem that politically netanyahu may be on firmer ground absolutely. >> there were no 10,000 yesterday because the instructions they hold command was not together more than 1,000 people buy but in any

case, you are very right in describing the moon on one hand, there is some kind of pride about the success of the operation of the assassination you know, those who like this genre, that's very good, but they have to ask themselves, vote comes next. on the other hand, is still very, very heavy atmosphere in is when it's nobody knows where are we going to, where we aiming? the hostages are still there. securities being in better place? >> yes. that was sitting in the park and there was a siren and missile following kate so it's a very, very heavy atmosphere in israel. there was some relief after the assassination of a swelling but when you wake up the morning after you understand that nothing changed, we are in indeed troubled

minister netanyahu seems to feel no pressure at all from the us calling for ceasefires both in gaza and lebanon how has he becomes so confident, seemingly deaf to any american pleas for restraint and caution? >> is it because he knows the us is compromised right now by a selection campaign. what do you think? >> why wouldn't he be different? >> there is a real american pressure. >> let's face it, that bookings and the devices and request from his way flowing and ammunition are flowing for israel in an unconditioned way. so why would we bother about the united states? i didn't see any real pressure. i saw talking talking. they were all totally all know if the united states would have liked to put an end to the war in gaza, for example, it could have done so very easily you don't your

partner with heavy arms when you want him to stop the u.s that's basic logic. >> so there is no real pressure. and anytime you rightly so feels free to do whatever he wants. >> he was asked award no, to to penetrate to rafah. >> he didn't. nothing happened. he was asked to go for a ceasefire in lebanon. now, he totally ignored it. and nothing happened. so why would he bother? >> i have to ask you if israel does go on and have a ground incursion, what do you think the risks are too israel given what happened in 2006 when they really did strike a blow to israel in terms of understanding hezbollah's capability buy yourself and your question ground the pressure will be a game changer in to complicate

is personal, for staying there because ms those ground operations, you always know how to get in or israel knows how to penetrate but it never knows how to get out. >> because you need certain conditions wait until israel will pull out of gaza. we have very, very far of this moment. it might take years same level, but above all, there is, the risk of a regional war and the wind be a certain stage in which the run we have to, i know they don't want it at all, but there will be a stage and in which they will have to do something on the end to get involved directly. because otherwise, all the reputation will be gone. >> and this might be when a ground operation, when, when israeli boots will step on the soil of lebanon and maybe even continue beyond the litani river. >> this can

>> as we hear you, we can certainly understand why so many israelis are feeling anxiety at this hour. gideon levy for us in tel aviv. thanks so much. appreciate it. >> now, israeli today, israeli's military is today carrying out new airstrikes in lebanon and preparing for a possible ground invasion as we were just talking about next we will be live with a former palestinian and go shader of the conflict and what it means for the region >> i voted buttons. >> i met him dragging every little kid why no donkeys or elephants stances and ella things so boy, it's like your generation has evolved past traditional political symbols. >> and there's room for everyone, kind of like my podcast on cnn plus puke rainbows, white taken course supplements developed by amateurs or pros doctors

the remnants of the hurricane, i can say a tropical storm helene, which brought an additional 12 inches of water. this is something that according to officials here is a one and a 1,000 year rainfall event. so that tells you exactly what people here are facing some of the scenes that they tell us they had never seen before. reporting from asheville, north carolina on rafael romo with mike cayse, the fire chief for asheville, north carolina. >> he gave us the latest updates about the situation with people on the ground and what they're dealing with we have had three or four days down some significant rain. fortunately, the rain has stopped now, but all the cascading events that come from that or decide on are starting and the pile up. but we've lost communications capabilities. it's very difficult for us to move around the community. many, many of the roads are

palestinian negotiator to peace talks with israel. he joins us now from beirut to news good. >> to have you with us it has been interesting to see israel's moves in the last 48 hours. why do you believe israel has chosen? the escalate the conflict at this time knowing that it's not what the united states had advised and perhaps risks the lives of those israeli hostages in gaza jim, there are two separate parts to be answered. that question first is that israel is clearly implementing a multi-faceted, multi-stage plan involving a range of platforms and tactics and they've gone for his hezbollah to basically break it, break it up from within, so to speak, by starting by destroying its internal communications, then going for mid-level and then high level and then top-level commanders. and now it's

clearly continuing a bombing campaign to take out as much of the military infrastructure, weapon depots missile launching sites, et cetera. as it can before. and if and when there's there's meaningful diplomatic pressure to cease fire so part of it and i think therefore everything we've seen over the last roughly two weeks has been one single plan that's unfolding and therefore, israel wasn't about to do bits of it and not continue with the rest. the other part of this is that in netanyahu's perspective, all this is a lot of this is about leverage with the united states administration he's now in a position where there's a lame duck president in us who's very supportive anyway, but can't do anything really to rein in israel so this is a great opportunity to inflict maximum damage before the u.s. presidential election. i'm not suggesting that netanyahu can't continue to leverage the u.s administration after the election think i'm going the country you'll be in an

excellent position to maintain this threat of bigger war with iran, to keep the u.s. administration towing the line as it were but but for now, i see no reason for israel to stop the real question is, what, if anything, can has bella do beyond fire, continuing to fire a relatively small small rockets at israel given that point, could israel inflict fatal blows on hezbollah render them impotent and keep its northern border safe. >> i mean, they say their stated goal is that those residents can return to the north. so many people, even within israel say, this is just not possible that's a very good question. >> and to tough one israel has inflicted massive damage on hezbollah as a coherent well-led organization. it's not clear that it's able to operate on a sort of strategic

level individual units have finally always had their orders to operate entirely on their own if their leadership is decapitated and that's why we continue to see rocket fire against israel. i think that can't easily be stopped but to decisively in definitively, if hezbollah is totally different question because that in theory involves going after what remains of his bell live membership, which is very large and fighting ability and so on, which remains partly remains in in other areas of lebanon that i think israel is doing a lot from with air attacks, drone attacks, and so on and it may well come in on the ground in the southern border strip. but that is no longer the sort of major strategic focus of this campaign that is just a sideshow part of rolling out up and destroying other capabilities of hezbollah in that area none of that in and of itself means that hezbollah

cannot continue to fire on northern israel. and what we haven't seen at all is hezbollah's use of what we believe are major rocket and missile acids. but listen six missiles, precision guided missiles, and these may could still threaten israel. so i think we're in a situation where israel will continue to at least portray itself as pursuing total, total victory has netanyahu calls it, without necessarily translating in absolutely every meaning of that word about isabel as political will. and whether it'll continue to fire back or not i only have about a minute left, but i do want to get your opinion on what you believe irans next move will be looks pretty much without any doubt, i think at this stage that iran has taken a strategic decision

which is not new. >> i think it's the case. it's been the case all year long that it will not be drawn into a bigger fight with israel, which he believes would then escalate into a bigger fight with the united states and that means that for now, it's accepting the degrading by israel of its strategic deterrence, which is hezbollah in lebanon, and its accepting the losses and i believe accept is expecting hezbollah to take the blows and to replenish and rebuilt at a later stage. so i don't think we're going to see much real actions, so to speak, from iran interesting, attends days ahead for everyone as you say, you're thank you so much for your insights there from beirut. >> appreciate it. i'm paula newton in new york. we will be right back with more of our coverage. i'll be joined by becky anderson, who is on the ground in time hello, be and we will bring you right upstate

airstrike in lebanon that killed hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah all concerns about a wider war in this region and a possible israeli incursion into lebanon in recent hours, israel conducted new airstrikes in southern and eastern lebanon, killing at least ten people, according to the lebanese state news agency that's on the heels of a series of strikes that reportedly killed more than 1,000 others over the past week. but the u.s. says, israel is also moving troops to the border with lebanon. a possible sign of preparations for a

limited cross-border incursion. israel says a ground operation is one one option that it is considering. hezbollah's leader, hassan nasrallah was killed in an airstrike on friday that the group says it will not stop fighting while iran is threatening to deliver what it says will be a crushing blow against israel a former israeli prime minister has told cnn earlier he believes this is an opportunity for israel because bella has been badly, badly damaged. >> we killed the ceo, nasrallah were killed most of the board of directors of hezbollah were killed. most of the exist that could of management of hezbollah, the senior management, whoever did the beeper attack took off the hands faces and bottoms of thousands of middle-management than hezbollah. hezbollah right now is temporarily badly harmed and injured but if we let go of

them now, they'll just recover and hit us back and two or three or five years cox is been monitoring developments and she joins us now from abu dhabi. >> we've seen more airstrikes over lebanon overnight. it's 10:00 in the morning. here, 24 hours after it was confirmed that the hezbollah chief had been killed. paula, what do we know about what israel has been targeting? overnight and whether or not we should expect a ground incursion in the south of lebanon anytime soon becky, what we're hearing from the israeli military themselves is that what they are targeting hezbollah targets. >> so infrastructure they say they have targeted a number of launchers that were pointing in the direction of israel ready to launch missiles. they also say that they have taken out a

number of weapons caches that hezbollah, they say has been hiding in civilian infrastructure in houses these are the targets that we have been seeing really over recent days from the idf but the aerial bombardment according to the military, is really to try and take out as much of their capabilities as possible as this at the same time, they are, they are cautioning that there could be a ground incursion. we're certainly hearing the idf being very vocal about the ground invasion being an option, but also pointing out that it is just one option at this 0.1 senior israeli official tells cnn that it is not their chosen and preferred option to have to go in to carry out this ground invasion in southern lebanon have an uncertainty. they've done it back in 2006 and it was an extremely difficult and damaging campaign for the

israelis. it was extremely damaging on the lebanese side as well. but what we've heard so far is that this assassination of hassan nasrallah the hezbollah chief he's being seen as a great victory certainly in israel, let's listen to the prime minister elimination of nasrallah is a necessary condition for achieving the goals we have said returning the residents of the north safely to their homes and changing the balance of power in the region over the years. because as long as nasrallah lived, he would quickly restore the capabilities we took away from hezbollah. that's why i gave the directive and nasrallah is no longer with us assassinating a leader certainly doesn't eradicate a movement. israel knows that very well, having assassinated previous leaders of hezbollah, of hamas over many decades. but

what israel has done at this point is it has also taken out a number of the specific commanders of different units within this group. but of course we know just recently with the hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies exploding in lebanon that also caused chaos within the group that is what could change the day-to-day operation of hezbollah. becky paula. >> thank in abu dhabi, ha hellyer is a good friend of this show, is a middle east studies scholar at the carnegie endowment for international peace and a senior associate fellow at the royal united services institute for defense and security studies. his analysis and insight is extremely important and he joins us today out of athens, greece, just 24 hours. then after the world learned that the head of hezbollah is dead, assess where things stand in the short term, both from the israeli perspective, if you will, and indeed from the

lebanese, and we can talk further about hezbollah specifically after that you so much, becky, always push the on your show. >> so i think what we see at present are a number of questions that need to be answered. first, what happens in terms of any action vis-a-vis lebanon, you're already mentioned further israeli strikes, but these are airstrikes. there not ground forces. and i think we have to expect the very high likelihood of israeli forces actually invading with ground troops in the south of lebanon over the coming hours or a few days certainly when it comes to statements out of the united states we haven't seen at least in the last two or three statements i continued to emphasis on calling for a ceasefire rather, the emphasis

is being on. we stand by israel, we stand ready to protect israel and defended and so on. so i think that we have to read into that. unfortunately, that there would be a further escalation involving ground truth when it comes to the wider configuration of power in terms of retaliations and so forth. i'm not terribly enthusiastic about the prospect of further escalation as a result of iranian reprisals but i also don't think that they're highly likely at this present moment in time on the contrary, what we've seen over the past couple of days is an expression of exasperations, of frustration. and i think of, you know, a feeling of betrayal from within his bowl rank and file that iran hasn't actually come to its aid and defense and i think that that's likely to continue going forward. i

don't think that they have the capacity to engage in a widespread reprisal without causing huge damage to themselves. and i don't think that the regime is interested in doing so. >> yeah, i'm while you're right to point out, while we have heard from iran on threats to answer the assassination of the hezbollah chief. we have seen nothing today, much speculation around this so each in as to just how much ambition there is from deb ryan at this point the israelis of course have said and you rightly point out that they reserve the right to invade in the north into the south of lebanon and with a view to securing that part of lebanon from hezbollah's ability to hit these northern

israeli towns and villages, some 60,000 in the north of israel, of course, have been displaced. and that isn't now a stated goal of israel if that were to happen. and there is much speculation about whether or not that ground invasion is likely any time soon what's its scope is it clear at this point and how long might that last? >> so the scope i think changes because i think what you also have to keep in mind is that over the past year, some things have been planned well, whether it had them and vance other things get planned much later in the game. when for example well, israel went into gaza a year ago. i don't think the plan was immediately at the very outset of the ground invasion, was to separate the north from the south and put in

settlements in the north of gaza and retake rafah completely and so on whereas today, if you asked me about the likelihood of reinstalling juror settlements in the north of gaza i'd say it's quite likely in the short to medium term. i wouldn't have said that a year ago. when it comes to the south of lebanon, there is no way to quote-unquote secure. the south of lebanon for the north of israel without a permanent occupation, and the south of lebanon and that's simply not sustainable but it doesn't mean that the israeli for course this won't move in and won't do that because again, the level of escalation, the type of recklessness that we've seen over recent weeks and months is a direct consequence of israel being able to prosecute these military campaigns without

accountability and without consequence, joe biden and his administration, i've said many times over the past 91011 months, red lines about cease-fires, about de-escalation, about the importance of this, and that. but they haven't actually use the leverage that is necessary in order to force that change in israeli behavior. kfir, israel knows that israel is aware of that and as a result continues in this direction stated that it is determined to escalate in order to de-escalate that term de-escalation echoed around this region as there is real concern about an escalation in what is going on at present and its spillage into the wider region. there is also a growing narrative around this region about the impact of the assassination of a significant and influential man in the

hezbollah chief who he was so important in irans access of resistance as its known by these iranian backed groups. what do you believe the widest story is here? >> so hassan nasrallah were certainly significant and one should be able to say that he was significant without expressing endorsement. i think that there's a lot of hard feelings in the region about particularly the role that has bubbled up played in syria in backing the bashar al assad regime against steering civilians but the effect an impact that the personality, the actual individual of hassan nasrallah had on the axis of resistance as it's called a quote, unquote it's significant i think that's why

you see these official statements coming out of it on. but even out of iraq the houthis and so on he had a very strong influence on other movements. in terms of, again, just the symbolism of who he was i don't think that the blow to hezbollah should be overestimated though, in this regard, certainly the personality of nasrallah was deeply significant but his butler is an old movement. now we're talking several decades it wasn't a ragtag militia group that falls to pieces because of its senior leadership being assassinated i think you'll see other people move up and i suspect that we will be we will see images of new leaders going forward, probably in the coming weeks. the question then becomes,

okay, you've got new leadership, but what can you actually do? the calculus of hezbollah over the past year? was that there their continued campaign vis-a-vis israel would eventually force israel to change its behavior with regards to gaza. and it did not the you mentioned the 60,000 or so israelis that were unable to go to their homes in the north of israel drew more than 100,000 i suspect quite a lot more than that in the south of lebanon. have been forced to flee southern lebanon and seek refuge in beirut and other parts of the country. his butler was not able to affect any change with that. so i think there'll be severe serious questions within the group itself about the way forward right ha haley up in greece with your perspective. thank you. and to just further

progress, what ha was saying that the latest numbers as far as we can in until as many as 1 million people in iran currently displaced in some way as a result of this this current uptick in an escalation in the attacks we've us leaders say they did not know about the strike in advance on the hezbollah chief. but president joe biden is hailing the death of nasrallah as a welcome development stating, quote, his death from an israeli air strike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of americans, israel bailey's and lebanese civilians. ultimately, your aim is to de-escalate the ongoing conflicts in both lebanon through diplomatic means. here is mr. biden earlier in delaware

vice president kamala harris is echoing biden's sentiments regarding de-escalation more coming up with a storm once known as hurricane helene is still wreaking havoc in the southeastern us. residents of inland areas far from florida are enduring catastrophic conditions. the latest on that is after this >> we move you said it the massage spike it. i'll tell him he liberty mutual customizes car insurance is the only pay for what they need. got it. >> you get that only pay for what you need labor day the phone you love. i get one line for $25 a month when you switch to straight talk, first, get to $200 credit for a new phone after 12 months with straight savings, you save now han later, straight talk real limited data, less dollars,

new airstrikes in lebanon today hitting targets in the east and south of the country lebanon's state news agency says at least ten people were killed. that is happening amid fears of a why war in the region following israel's killing of his ballers leader in beirut, the u.s. now says israel is moving troops to the border with lebanon, a possible sign of preparations for a limited cross-border incursion. israel says a ground operation is one one option that it is considering we need to understand there's a huge amount of different tools that we have in our toolbox. >> ground operations is one of them. we are preparing for that if it is required, if we're receive the instructions hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah was killed in an airstrike on friday. hezbollah's says it will keep fighting while iran which backs

the group, is threatening to deliver what it says will be a crushing blow against israel un secretary general antonio guterres says, he is deeply alarmed by the significant escalation over the past 24 hours he called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages in gaza and said this cycle of violence must stop now and all sides must step back from the brink. the people of lebanon, the people of israel as well as the people thought the wider region cannot afford an all out war. well, merav zone, jean is the senior israel analysts for the international crisis group, joining me from tel aviv fellow and good morning. thank you. and paul, solemn, vice president for the international engagement at the middle east institute, joining me from beirut, it's good to have you both this morning where i've let me start with you with a very simple question. will be israelis press their advantage at this point on hezbollah by

undertaking? the ground offensive >> i obviously don't have an answer to that question, but what i can say is that in israel right now, there is political consensus across the spectrum that the recent attacks on hezbollah as command and the killing mr. alla is an excellent achievements. this is something israel has been preparing for, for many years. and that as long as this paradigm continues, in which they don't see much retaliation, in which the u.s. and other world powers are not pushing enough, or hard enough for a ceasefire. and as long as they can keep the homefront going they're going to keep you going. and so i would not be surprised if we see an incursion whether limited or not into lebanon coming days i've. pulled talks there about the calculus being based on what happens next and how both

hezbollah and indeed iran on a wider lens responds to this. >> let's start with a very specific question. how does israel is death affect the ability of hezbollah to operate against israel becky. >> good to be on your show. definitely the killing of hezbollah, as well as the killing of much of the senior leadership the pager attacks. the area of assaults it's been going on intensively for two weeks have greatly, greatly diminished hezbollah as capacity to make decisions to communicate those decisions, to operate i would say hezbollah has lost almost all of its deterrent power against israel. it has no defensive abilities against israeli attacks. it has made no provision for civilians and civilian displacement and suffering. that's happening because of the israeli attacks. and i think both hezbollah and

iran have limited offensive options against israel so i do think what happens next is largely going to be determined by what prime minister netanyahu and israeli government feel that they want to do they do have hezbollah on the ropes, which means they have iran on the ropes. i imagine they will press their advantage, whether that includes a ground invasion or not. they do have i think as the israeli spokesman said, they do have several options israel to your mind, how the support of the united states, it's just step back for 72 hours and the proposal for a ceasefire between lebanon and israel, between hezbollah and israel, which might have opened the aperture for a ceasefire potentially in gaza as well.

>> many people say you can't, you can't decouple the two. and these are two stated war aims. of course, of israel to get their people back to the north of israel and to degrade and destroy hamas in gaza and get the hostages released. it did seem as though the biden administration, the wider washington contingent and much of the rest of the world supported that ceasefire proposal, not back by benjamin netanyahu towards the end of last week and then of course we saw his calling for this strike against the hezbollah chief on friday night in new york. i just want that how you perceive be very short term relationship between the u.s. and israel at the moment, we have seen supportive statements from joe biden and indeed the defense minister about having israel's

back at this point and basically bacchae, it stated goals blanche to israel in this war in gaza and in lebanon. and for years in terms of its settlement project and military occupation, it has not been a sincere actor and mediator in the israel, palestine conflict. and i believe much of the us complicity and inaction on israel is what led in many ways to october 7 and to the notion that israel is invincible and can do as it pleases and not pay any price. and so unfortunately that approach continues now. and even though the u.s. and rhetoric has, you know, has called for a song it's fire, the biden administration has not put leverage and its tools and it has tools to make to make the ceasefire in gaza hold. and if it had done so, then we wouldn't be in this position today. israel has legitimate

security concerns on its border but at this point, even after the killing of nasrallah, even with a year worth of war none of its residents are closer to getting home. the hostages are not being taken out of gaza. and israel's home front, an economy cannot go on like this forever. israel doesn't have a strategy or end game beyond endless war at this moment, the u.s. is allowing it to do that let's just have a listen both of you to what netanyahu said. >> just in the past 24 hours ago with regard what is happening in lebanon. and indeed in gaza so lawmaker, there's elimination advances, the return of our residents to their homes in the north. it also advances the return of our hostages and the south, the more that yahya sinwar sees that nasrallah will not be coming to his rescue. the greater the chances are for returning our hostages. >> hezbollah by what do you

make of what was said there and what's the wider picture here? >> well i don't i do not think the case that the killing of nasrallah and the weakening of hezbollah will affect sinwar's calculations. i mean, despite everything, hezbollah did in northern israel, that really had no visible effect on israel's actions in gaza. israel completed the devastated gaza and i don't think sinwar's calculations will be changed. i think the bigger variable is prime minister netanyahu's calculations. and why are hezbollah definitely is on the ropes between it and its allies around the region. they can certainly keep northern israel unsafe if for an indeterminate future so in a way, i've said in the recent past that when israel seems to be winning the sense that it does not have

a long-term sustainable strategy for israel itself. other than open-ended occupation or reoccupation and gaza. further occupation in the west bank and potential new occupation in lebanon? yes, that might look like victory but that's not a sustainable future for israel. i think there is a historic opportunity here and a gathering of arab and muslim foreign minister's just reiterated today in new york that there is a historic opportunity. it's up to maybe alternative israeli leadership especially when hezbollah and iran are on the backfoot to seize the moment and move towards a wide agreement with the arab muslim world for a two-state solution. >> yeah i think there are many in this region who agree with you. there is the potential for a new era here in this region the concern is, is that preface as it were preceded by significant escalation and a

wider conflict. at this point, johnson and paul simon. thank you very much indeed for joining us. well, iran is requesting an emergency meeting of the un security council to quote, take immediate and decisive action to stop israel's ongoing aggression and to keep israel from pushing the entire region into an all-out catastrophe or more is coming up. >> we'll take a look at how hassan nasrallah shaped hezbollah into one of the most powerful paramilitary groups in the middle east with influence around the world that is ahead he is the smartest southern has ever done this for a living james was famous for winning races, change beliefs the change width it's the economy stupid apologizing to know what that man is it to 50 catcher i

he co-founded and steered hezbollah and its influence into what it is today. >> well i wasn't nasrallah was held as a resistance fighter by his admirers and the terrorist by his adversaries he became secretary general of hezbollah in 1992 after israel assassinated his predecessor 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 saddam and returned to his native lebanon, where during the 1982 who israeli invasion, he urged his supporters to take up arms against the invaders. the beginnings of what became hezbollah literally meaning the

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 neglect 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 has been a struggle against israeli forces on lebanese soil continued until 2000 when in perhaps his proudest moment, israeli troops withdrew unconditionally from southern lebanon

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 we're again at war the month long conflict left at least one 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 focus turned inward on his homeland, lebanon, where hezbollah increasingly became a key player in the countries 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 nests that i live with money, weapons, and logistical support

but critics say his alliance with tat on inflamed sectarian tensions. and we can his credibility as a self-styled defender of the palestinian people militant group hamas, his bullis ally attacked israel on 7 october 2023 killing more than 1,200 people in a ducting, more than 250 others began firing into israel, opening what it called a 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 home mutton, weekend
