the, the, this is the, the news live from the land thomas, politically, the is mile, honey, is killed in iran, come off a neighbor on the lead is say, on the i was assassinated and about his death will not go unpunished. those claim israel to be is right. the government has not yet commented. fear is a growing of a major escalation as the well reacts to honey is death. israel stay silent as regional leaders condemn his killing. iran says it is duty bound to events. how must meet his desk. the

money keeps mckinnon. welcome. how most politically to is male honey has been killed in the arabian capital. tyrone a mouse is accused israel of an associate assassination. iran revolutionary gone, says hernia and his bodyguard were killed as he was in toronto. the swearing in of the new arabian president. so fall that has be no claim of responsibility. however, israel has in the past vowels to kill him in an of the how much lead is to the very life is we can bring in now, correspondent rebecca riches in jerusalem. rebecca has the been any statement actually from the is ready to government about honey is death of the no, i know that hasn't vain and that's not uncommon. that is in fact the the, the usual way when it comes to assassinations is real. do not generally comment on

them, so we haven't had any official confirmation from them. of course iran is definitely accusing. is ralph being responsible for this assassination? but the don't forget they're going to assess the nations. in fact, one of his will, anita for i shall go in they roots and the is randy military coming out very, very quickly after that assassination saying that they were in the, the prototypes that they carried out that attack. and that is unusual. in fact, for them to comment on such such an event and in fact, that is likely or potentially a way of signaling, not just to his beloved, but also to people back at home to other people in the region and across the us. that that was the retaliatory strike, that they, that everyone was expecting to come in the wake of this a, this strike that we saw over the weekend coming 12 children in b is right. occupied going on heights and israel said that we're going to retaliate for that. but when it comes to the honey, a striker has been no official word from israel. we have heard from some ministers

. so it's a, we're, we're hearing that it's the prime minister's office, have actually off cabinet ministers, not to say anything, but we have been hearing them take to social media or seeing them take the social media hailing. be that the assassination of honey, and have we heard anything at all from the families of the hostages that are still being held by come off? well, the hostages are of course, you know, a very huge topic here in israel, the entire country really rallying behind them and really hoping for a hostage deal. of course, the families themselves desperately wanting to say their loved ones brought home and this is killing all of this assassination. all these mount honey, i certainly brings about fees, all of the hostage negotiations and just where they will be headed now. they've been sold for a long time as we've been reporting and be and the dust inside. well, for those negotiations is now honey. i was one of the key part of the key negotiating painful the homicide. he was considered by many is more moderates and

some other all must lead is mainly. yeah, i just didn't want him garza and he was seen going on these delegations going on these folks talking to the israelis not directly but through maybe i was talking with the guitar easy egyptians and the americans about a potential deal. and of course, the families particularly worried, but the entire country worried about what this will mean. now for those negotiations you correspondence in jerusalem, rebecca versus rebecca. thank you so much for the us. and we can get some analysis now from at least unless shawnee resign us who joins banown studio shiny. welcome. so let's talk about the timing of, of this attack festival. well, it, you know, on the usually lived in katara. this is where he spent most of his life is out of the call, the area for quite some time. also park because he and said we're the leader of the military, a part of homeless and on best terms. and he's been mostly uh,

in caught our and sometimes in, in istanbul and turkey, it's quite a, or a chance to find him anywhere else and especially into wrong. so israel has to, the way he's real, says it had to seize that very, very moment. he's been in in caught her in soaring to yvonne on a few days. so, you know, just to think about the operation you would need on the ground together intelligence to be able to actually execute such a precise operation and such on such short time. just to tell you about if it is assuming lee, as so many is israel. what kind of of operative israel has on the ground into her own. and that for itself is a message as well as very happy to send to, to around saying we can make it to even deal with the holy spaces for you. which is this compound of the revolutionary guards where he's believe to be staying or was staying overnight. so definitely be that timing and everything is connected with that made at health as well. make even a bigger symbolic message sending their to you wrong. so as you say, we know it was an extremely precise operation, but other,

any other details that you can tell us about this attack? what we've been learning is where today mean the ring is open, especially investigation. it to probably, it seems like it was, it is really been a missile called spike. that was shocked from not too far a few buildings away from that security compound where her neo was staying the night just. he was there just shortly after he met himself with the supremely, there was on how many overnight just to tell you, you know, the importance of any of for the rains and know they tried to give him the best conditions and they felt. and he also felt that he is of the most safe place he can be in the, in the world. and i'm sure he did not expect that. so this is more of the what we know for now. we also know some of the rings are suggesting maybe the body guards that were surrounding him or somehow involved in maybe tipping off israel. i think for now you're on to the, on the confusion, the anger, the frustration, all of that, you know, might be leading them to pointing all different directions. it's

a bit too early to, you know, drill down all the exact details of what happened overnight. and what would you say, can we expect from to our on now? well, there's no doubt they will be a response that we've been hearing. many people any wrong saying that i don't think this is the 1st priority that the new president wanted to do with. he wanted to, you know, bring more relief on sanctions and focus more on the economy. but, you know, the, me least any run specifically, you know, you can never really just stick to that. i'm at. however, i think we need to see the different possibilities for you in response, either through the proxies whom we've seen accident against israel, the last months like the who to use from the south in yemen or his blind let them know. and which also because of the assessing nation last night before honey, i also have their own agenda, you know, clearing their uh, you know, showing their grievances to as well. so maybe something joint along with his ball. it could be one option and other option would be a direct attack on his rail. this barrier, this red line that was inconceivable for many years was already costs and april.

but then i think they would try to be very strategic in the, in the target that they're choosing. it would have to be central enough, but then at the same time, not too damaging in order to prevent a wider escalation, which i think is still the presumption. you know, you're wrong with one of, you know, want to respond, but not lose control over uh over a great a war. and a 3rd problem, possible scenario is where you're going to respond somewhere outside of israel, or maybe on your p and ground. maybe the olympic games now happening in paris. this is something where many is where these are pointing the fingers that we know that's going to be tightened security for these, the delegates there. that's some of what we're seeing, what's happening. and it could also be taking some weeks we've seen it in the past, you know, we run, we'll take time to consider and see what would be the most typically uh you know, occasion for, for response uh, we need to be on high alert for the next uh, the for simple future looking for that way, from israel's perspective. and what is, is rails and game here because, you know, working towards the sci fi doesn't seem to be the prior. see right now,

i think you're right to that aspect. i mean, this does not seem like a move of somebody who's trying to wind things down, you know, way it's in here. i was in the congress, the u. s. congress last week asking for more support from a weapon, but more political support. basically asking for permission to go on and what we're seeing him do is that he's doubling down his efforts not only and gaza, but also expanding into other what is really is called the axis of evil that is operating against israel and going all the way in but if has this, you know, this is quite when he talk a bit to tactics about the, the ability to execute such an operation in the mess of their sense. i think it's quite impressive, you know, but then hasn't really fundamentally changed things on the ground. has he brought the hostages closer to coming home? is it brought is really the citizens that had to be evacuated from the house is closer to coming back home. or are we actually taking one step further into it, even more instability, even more bloodshed, even more of, you know, and much wider escalation? i think this is the bigger question. we need to ask a day, which begs the question also,

can these really prime minister sustain this stones with these really people? well, i think momentarily there's a lot of national pride aside from the hostages and their families, we see a lot of of anger, a lot of frustration and sadness there today. but among the public there is a feeling. yes, we're finally getting the lead. we're not just being, you know, drag to response and we, we can still show that is realize it's military and intelligence might that we've been so used to relying on up until october 7th. so in that aspect it is working, but i think you know nothing, you always is a figure to dania as well that it's so device if those are supported campbell's support, anything you does, those are against him, oppose everything he does. i, i think it's a bit too soon to tell if this will actually lead to any meaningful political gain or political change in israel. utilities, middle east, on lashawn, arizona is from a thank you so much. so much of the running government says that a funeral service is mile, honey, a will be held entire on before his body has been taken to casa for

a burial. he was seen as a relative moderates in amongst thomas's leaders. it is male hon. you agree? c ron's new president. and what would be one of his last meetings? just hours after routine during the presidency and the ration he and his body god, we killed in a strike on his residence in tears. at the time of his days, new was the political face of home, of the militant is the miss group that carried out to be october. stephen terror attacks on israel from us spies is killed around 1200 people and took more than 250 of his hostage, nearly half of whom i still health and johnson. i knew i had not lived in guys or for several years, but ran home us from kata where he lived in exile, bone marrow, guys, asses you a few g can the 62 year old was

a child of palestinian refugees from the village of alger. yeah, ash cologne, he joined him us when it was founded in 1987 and was arrested in jail by israel during the 1st intifada, the uprising a game is randy occupation. a new was exiled to live and on. but he returned to guns of following the 1993 also piece the code. he became the palestinian prime minister in 2006, and continued to rise through how most his ranks eventually becoming its political chief and 2017. mazda is guys a lead a yes, yes, and what is believed to have been the mazda mind of the october 7th attacks and media was seen as a more moderate force and home us of his last several of his own family members, and is really a tax on gaza, which have killed nearly $40000.00 people since being 3 of him use sons and 4 of

his grandchildren were killed in a pro. at the time nea insisted, the dates would not fix ongoing si, fi and hostage told me represented homeless internationally and moved around the region for diplomatic meetings. he was a key player in negotiations to stop the fighting and gaza. some fee of his killing will be a major sit back and achieving peace in the region around has officially responded to the death of him in a statement carried on a rainy and state media. president must, who possess keon said, but iran will quote, defend its territorial integrity, digging to see on, on pride and will make the terrorist occupies regret the cowardly acts. now, honey, is death is already raising phase of a wide,

a regional conflicts globally does a warning against any escalation that could lead to all out war is ro hasn't yet responded to accusations that it was behind honey is killing many palestinians and is right, he's on on of us about what might happen next. many shop stayed closed on wednesday in jerusalem's old town. the same was true in ramallah and in many of the towns across the west bank palestinian groups called for a general strike and demonstrations of the killing of from us as politically the is male. how many open item to around. and the strike on the has the bullet come on the in be route a lot of us about to consider what happened during around to be a conspiracy he met with the reigning president and diamond is really attack happened. so nonwhite glove, rob, we'd be a response to the assassination. i expect there to be a strong response window and also response from 11 on there will also be

a response to the crime and 11 on yesterday. and today we are facing the disaster with the assassination of the martyr. commander, excuse me, is on the main, on the meanwhile, in israel, these tell of the residents fear a further escalation. i wouldn't be surprised that they take out an attack towards tele dave right now. i think a lot of people are skeptical. would it be lead to that? we don't want to prematurely be super happy and congratulated each other in the series. on the one hand, i want to be happy because teneo was the person they wanted to eliminate. and on the other hand, i completely canceled my plans for this morning. i wanted to go to the beach, but i don't feel safe. and it's a little scary to walk in the street. the many here believe

israel is behind the assassination of fun. yeah. is very officials have not yet confirmed any involvement. however, they have previously threatened to kill honey and other must lead us over the groups of october 7th attack from his route. on wednesday morning. a picture of any blended with the wood eliminated appeared on his rails government pressed offices, social media channels, but it was quickly deleted. internationally. several countries expressed concern that the violence could escalade throughout the region. china and russia both condemned 10 years assassination. the us do not being aware or involved in the assassination of the mouse leader with once more expressed hope for diplomatic solution and a ceasefire. is profoundly in the interest of trying to put things on a better path, not only and gaza, but actually throughout the region of to almost 300 days of fighting. it seems

israel and how most a know closer to a deal to end facilities and bring the hostages home. let's take a look at some of the other developments and the as randy homeless conflicts and the us defense secretary lloyd austin says the bite and administration is trying to cool tensions in the middle east. he maintains, there is always room for diplomacy, while also reaffirming support israel's right to self defense. the united nation says palestinians detained by israel since the october 7th attacks have been tortured. a new report, alleges war supporting an electric shocks have been used. it also says israel is holding more than $9000.00 palestinians, some in secret without access to is now as male, heavy as death follows another significant development. israel says it killed a top has block amanda and an asteroid on the lebanese capital bay root. the iran

back malicious says he was in the building at the time, but has not confirmed his desk of the. it was the question of when not if israel would retaliate after a project of his a soccer field in my spouse, jones and the golan heights and killed 12 children and teenagers. israel blamed has the law and one dominican group who would pay a heavy price. is around the response was a rare air strike on the outskirts of a roof. lebanon's health ministry said the attack killed at least one woman and 2 children, and wounded dozens. these really made a tree, says the strike was targeted and killed the top heads block commander to add true core for to cool was the right hand man to cross on the throttle feasible as leader. and he's advisor in planning and directing attacks and

operations. the united states, the sugar orchestration of the 1983 bombing up the us marine barracks and bait roof, which killed $241.00 u. s. military personnel. and they put a bounty of $5000000.00 on his head. he's been one of the groups leading military figures since it was established by rounds revolution regards more than a 4 decades ago after the israel. how much more broke guys in october 7 to cool was accused by israel of being behind many of the drone and miss of the tax that has block carry divers against israel. if israel's claim proves true, soccer will be the most senior has block commander to be killed since 2016. when most of a bad reading groups, military commander in syria died in an explosion. and damascus of the strike is threatened to escalate hostilities between israel and has the law as a time when tensions are already running halls. the u. n. is urging come fearful

that the region could be on the brink of a wider war. fleming. nathan is a professor of international politics at lancaster university in the united kingdom . he says the full out of, of the killings has been predictable. i think it's open, pretty predictable is the sort of statements that we were expecting from from irena unofficial was from the who the days from is by law from all the usual suspects. those being vocal condemnation. but there's also been condemnation of the killing into fun by key bike cuts out on by others across the region with the suggestion that this poses a significant challenge to actually working towards peace in gaza. all of this was to be expected. i think we know that there is a great deal of worry about escalation, but there's also worried that this type of attack,

these types of tit for tat escalations can get out of homes. so it's, it's entirely predictable that that would be these robots condemnations. so would you say an escalation is now more likely in the middle east? it has been answering this question for the past 10 years, i think will not be an escalation. what about all the different moving parts of the various actors that are involved in various conflicts? and i think it's really work stressing but conflict is, is devastating. conflict will decimate the lives of people and the few states for you act as i actually want that to be a conflict because of the, the costs involved. but the humanitarian costs, the political cost, the economic costs. and because to legitimacy of a very fact is being unbridled and more. so that being said, of course, history has shown us the even when we're in various states. so right, just don't necessarily want to go to war. the events have

a way of sort of capturing them and dragging them into conflict. so this is why it's such a precarious moment because even though it's by law that on and, and others don't necessarily want to go to war with israel, the situation is so precarious that they may be drawn into it is the situation remains on checked. israel has not yet taken responsibility for the killing of honey a. is the fact that israel isn't saying we did it? is that pulse of the choreography required to avoid massive escalation? yeah, i think so because the, the narrative would very quickly be that as royal has struck within it. right. and so for entire tray. and that could very easily be construed by those who wanted to us and talk more. so i think doing it in a way that is to some extent deniable, although you read between the lines and it's pretty clear who was,

who is responsible, allows for the situation to be red and framed in such a way that can avoid escalation. now i'm not saying that that is exactly what is happening here. but i think this, this reach for some form of close to both of my ability is, is part of a broad strategy that come allow people to read into this in different ways. and just wanted to talk about the united states for a moment. us secretary of state antony blinking today said the us wasn't involved, was also one of the honey, a killing he focused on the need for a ceasefire in gaza. is that by design? would you say as i think so, but i think it could also be emblematic as the broad attentions that have been emerging between the us and israel. and i think we've seen a lot of those tensions started to emerge. we know the couple of harris has been speaking incredibly strongly about the need for

a ceasefire. and so perhaps mr. nothing young who is realizing, but he doesn't quite have the same level of support in washington that he wants to bid at least uh and it's core and full. so i think right now there are, there are definitely tensions between the 2 bodies. the us was serious about actually achieving as these why it could be doing a great deal more. i'm putting a great deal more pressure on mister netanyahu and as well more broadly to achieve the ceasefire, which is absolutely essential. and working towards that, the escalation of the region getting about the sci fi is power mountain, absolutely essential. thinking again about the possibility of escalation. would anyone benefit from grace or conflict or will this well, wall is devastating, brutal, catastrophic as the people of gaza house and joints over these past few months as

this re lease of in jordan and other times as well. of course, war is dental and not respect. no one drives, no one benefits in terms of who might benefit politically. of course, there are those who might, derives some full political capital, political legitimacy out of being seen to be embroiled in a conflict of defending palestinian rights. defending arabian territorial integrity, all standing up as part of a, quote, unquote access of resistance. so there are, of course, people who could benefit on these, where you side of costs. the continuation of the conflict allows mister netanyahu to retain his, his political position, some say that his political career will be over warmer this war. and so there are, of course people who would benefit, but i would just remind everyone that it's the origin we people of the region, the people of cause of the people of less than on the people of iran,

the people of syria, the people of iraq, the people of yemen, the people of jordan, who have been enjoying this violent instability for decades now, and who are at the risk of a wider escalation. they are the ones who would be paying the most devastating price. absolutely. simon, naval in iran and middle east expert assignments. thank you so much for your insights and your time. i. this is a reminder for you of our top story today. how most has accused israel of assassinating that the mist kalita is. mel honey, inter on iran revolutionary god has confirmed the death saying honey in his body. god were killed in an attack at his residence in the arabian capital. so fathers be no claim or responsibility. however, israel has in the past about to kill him in an of the leaders of hamas, off to the group carried out the october, the 7th territory. and with that you are up to date. now remember, you can also keep up to date with all the latest news on all websites, not c,
