kramer in jerusalem. she told me more about the is really in persian into guys overnight. well, these really ami confirmed, that's what they called, that they conducted what they called the target to rate using tangs. and they also released this video where we see explosions happening and that the infantry moved into the north. and our goal is to strip as part of preparations as a set of for the next stage. they also said they're located and struck in terrorist infrastructure and killed him. us militants, the. and this is an operation as they put it to prepare the battle. so they went out afterwards. so this is one of the larger operations, according to the army radio. we seen those sort of rates in 2000 the past 2 and a half weeks. but also the air strikes is really strikes on gaza,

continue in the north end in the southern part of casa. and we also had a, a barrage of rockets coming out from a garza yesterday to each row that we just heard israel's prime minister there explaining the preparations are still under way for a good around fall for ration of full scale operation. what are these relays themselves? saying and then just patient of the operation. tony well i think as you needed to address the public again and is right because people want to know what is happening next. the region is very g 3. it's not as clear when the ground operation is happening, but there are a lot of different areas that is really so looking at themselves in the north. and they also show if you look at polls, you know, they say, well, they support uh the government in a saying that they want to approve time off from it. garza that the trust is not

that big. and what the government is doing, so nothing you all a sudden is televised address. that's a ground operation or incursion will happen soon. you also said again that this will decided, the timing will be decided by the smaller war cabinet. and he also addressed the issue of the hostages. he said this is a top priority for the government. and he also touched a briefly on the issue of the responsibilities for all of that because it varies. you know, one to one to know who was responsible for this intelligence failure that hum us could so easily preach the borders and overrun the southern communities. but he just briefly touched on the responsibility, said many people will have to answer this. that will be done after the war. tony, thank you very much for now. our corresponding tony kramer in jerusalem.

israel's war on him, us is having ripple effects across the middle east. the conflict is rekindling tensions, and israel's neighbor to the north 11 on with it's fragile and divided population, some 11 on support. the around by has pulled out, which has threatened to tact against israel, other lebanese fear, their country, which has been grappling with a severe economic crisis, could be dragged into a full scale war. the disability engineer is 40 to about his future. he's supposed to lead me to next week and start a new job. and so now he's not sure if that will be possible. many airlines have suspended flights and they've been on over security concerns in the countries state owned airlines has moved a scale across to neighboring airports due to the growing violence on the been eases. really bold can, but i've been very much economic in the country is in financial crisis. so i decided to leave in less than that. i got the job opportunity. and so do you review

all the a lot of what if i should be traveling by the end of the month that i'm the but no, i'm worried that the airport will be closed. second it or flights. cancel, toyota. i compete with them. i can be sort of, i thought of leaving to a temporary destination right away. but after considering the expensive, i can't afford this option, but the lift name, masonic, i'm anxious. i don't know what to do on the other. so long. the low set of homes are fresh from the conflict and goes on israel is driving a further which into the buttons already divided society for years are growing the tensions on dependence housing border could escalate into a larger confrontation with this way. and for some, this is a nightmare in the high team. we are scared, of course, we don't want conflicts from and we are already in a crisis as me. so the beauty on keeping the color, we're worried about engaging and a war. the country is devastated and facing economic collapse,

ready for war that it looks like we'd be affected like what's happening and gaza a month. all i know nothing and must not go to well, we're not ready by any means. well, the economic situation is terrible. it's impossible to handle a war but across the street, i don't live in these are organizing protests and support of cause of some or even coding for military action against is really getting the money. we're all concerned and we should be unified. if we don't support guidance today, israel will attack us tomorrow, and i know we are not scared of joining the fight and it's our duty. so the of course we support that live and then joins the battle. because we are one people. the only one of the we don't support them who will divide it opinions among the public audit reflection of the political polarization into the country. the zip on has been without a president for the you know,

of to 12 stream attempts my parliament to the next and you had of state to kind of take a government is barely operation and it is out of resources. but it's far from where the fordable, how cool mountain can cheat. i might see if you had a, i'm a, what us on the hello is a, what are the how to the hate going fee? a key is not the government's is working to prevent war. but if it happens, we will be faced with a shortage of medicine. it's about a few and possibly incident cuts, and that's for yet the mold or the am on or the i came on. well, i'm a also maintaining our hospitals. if the food security, especially in supply of reach a key are great challenges, that the government is texting me on. this doesn't, you know me and we are seeking assistance from international organizations. i'm in a don't see it. my feeling one of them have to do in the past few years or further conflict crow. many countries have advised their citizens to leave,

to live on mean wide like most lebanese, how much is left with uncertainty? the w as well how much rate to file that report from a rouge i spoken to mohammed just a short while ago asked him about the current situation along the living on is really border as well. the balance of the commercials and costs board are showing the common a daily routine on the easiest way in the front. it has remarkably increased in skate and graphy over the past days, since his royal evacuated thousands of his ladies from its northern border towns. and on the other side, the minis will live in the 1000 towns near what is now a frontline left their homes and move north towards safer presidents and, and shelters. this indeed contributed to the escalation of military operations and gave advantage to the as well any army and has the lot to intensify and widen the

strikes. however, at this point, and this does not mean that this type of school on the dominion and for any border, it changed the fighting. the actions and the reactions are still within the acknowledged rules of engagement, the by both parties. at that, we've witnessed that since the around of the final class has emerged on october. the 8th bill senior representatives of from us and another is list militant group in guys of the palestinian islamic jihad understand they've been holding talks with the leadership of has bola, his bullet based of course, in 11 on now they released a picture of one of these meetings yesterday, what do we know about these meetings? mohammed well, visited information have come out of this meeting, but truly a big significance. now this tree, a meeting between the head off, has below the head of islamic jihad and device head of how much is not unusual in

inmate. but it's the timing is significant. it's the 1st at least that we know of since the conflict and gus that is why is immersed in october 7. we have been seeing these type of meetings between has belie end is region and allies. and right before the surprise, a talk that how much launched on is why of this again, is a coordination meeting, at least that's what a media source as close to hezbollah said, we know that all 3 parties received fund logistic, and political support from one back uh later on, as they are part of the so called resistance access, they have always talked about sharing information and being part of the one at military and political kind of a patient's room. they were also clear about engaging in a strategy that unifies the fields of confrontation with this way and, and to west, as they say, well, have
