the, the, this is the w use life from berlin as well. and his belie launch attacks against each other. escalating the conflict in the middle east is well says it's for plains have destroyed thousands of broken launches in pre emptive strikes in southern lebanon. while his bloss says it has launched a launch number of drones against these ram and to terrorism investigation in germany, prosecute as say they're looking for any links between the syrian who confessed to a deadly festival attack and the so called islamic state terrorist course. the

i've been physical and welcome is well says waves of its war planes has come down preemptive strikes against his will on bill isn't the targets 11 on level. thirty's reported. 3 dance has ballasa is it has launched drugs against israel and vitality ation for the recent assassination of one of its commandants. the early morning in northern israel, the ar and dome springs into action is, has bought, begins with the militant group called phase one of an attack on israel. hundreds of rockets and drones fired towards 11 military sites. it says it's in retaliation for the killing of one of its commanders and a route last month in a statement as well as said, all offensive drones were launched at their designated times and from all their positions are made a tree operation for today has been completed the enemy's claims regarding its pre emptive actions, the targets it allegedly hit that suppose the disruption of his ball is attacked or

baseless and contradict the facts on the ground. israel says it began pre emptive air strikes on sunday against has bought a targets and 11 on after they detected plans of an attack against its territory. the idea exclaimed $100.00 finder jets have struck and destroyed thousands of hezbollah rocket launcher barrels aimed at israel. it also released these images 8 says are of a hezbollah drones being intercepted, israel's prime minister issued a warning after an emergency national security cabinet meeting. so we're determined to do everything to protect our country, returned the residence of the north to that homes and continued to follow a simple rule. we ship, whoever holds us, we hunt them sundays escalation further heightens tensions. as talks

continue to reach, i cease fire and hostage release deal in garza dw is fix tom, so its joins us from jerusalem. live, felix, what is the situation on the northern border with living on at the moment? as well as the moment things are calm, we haven't had any sirens in the past few hours. and it seems like 2 days of the tense phase is dying down as far as we can tell at the moment. having said that, there is still a situation where many people in the northern border of israel are, and the fear is that such attacks will take place again. umm, tens of thousands of people have been evacuated somewhere and also risk around. um, and generally speaking, the escalation with his by law is not going to die down anytime soon. we are looking forward to a statement by he's about our chief cost on us right over to take place any moment

. now, there should be more information there about what the situation is going to look like going forward and tell us more about the state of emergency. if that's been in place. this was the state of emergency across is where it has been lifted. just um, just uh, in the last 2 hours or so, having said that, the situations in the northern part of as well is data very tense as well as in the close to the border. we so cause a strip of course, due to the situation there. um and uh we have to bear in mind that despite the fact that this mornings uh this morning, a tax has been an escalation of the situation. the situation and the on the northern border between these right and left on on has been tenants in the past. 11 months or so ever since,

how mazda is attacked and these right in the forwarding is ready reaction on gaza. drones and rocket attacks have been, uh, becoming a monitor in this region. and this doesn't look at and it doesn't look like it's going to change in the coming days. how concerned are people then in israel about a will with his will? the i will generally say that the people in this world have become somewhat of use to this situation where the country is in war. having said that, people they are, are aware of the fact that, uh or with his buy is a whole different ball game than away from us. we're talking about, well organized a group are talking about a group which has the wrecked territory connection to its suppliers in ron, where it receives uh, westland deliveries. so people are people sort of look well, look to as introduce such a situation is and, and know that this is going to be

a whole different ball game. dana war with home as, as the war was homeless and gaza. but at the same time, there is a feeling here in these right, and that's such a such a cross between both sides is almost inevitable at this point. felix opposite for us. but the very latest from jerusalem as well as a tank was in response to in his way the strike. last month i killed that senior commander for i shall quarter. and as well as believe 2 of us estimated how much lead it is by the into run. both. here's where the end run has bound to retaliate. to god against such attacks is rel, relies on a multi layered defense system. april 2020 full israel sustains a massive mit solve by rush from iran. more than 300 drones rockets and miss solves form a coordinate to to attack the israel's ad,

defend systems. it's the greatest challenge yet. israel claims it intercepted, 99 percent of those hostile missiles and trains. so how does a cheap that kind of success? it's down to a multi layered defense approach comprising a number of moving parts. in some cases, quite literally truck towed missile units formed in the most layer, the and a bit tackles short range threats such as rockets and voltage and was developed with health and the us, it has intercepted thousands of broke it since it was instituted in 2011 and israel claims it has a 90 percent success rate. next comes david sling the mid range threats that is designed to shoot down ballistic missiles followed from between 40 kilometers to 300 kilometers away. again, it was developed in collaboration with the us. and the alchemist last is the arrow for the long range ballistic missiles. it operates outside the site must fit in space,

which allows for the safe disposal of any non conventional will heads. regardless of the methods, intercepting rockets is a costly business. the cost of $1.00 arrow into step to missile is between $2.00 and $3500000.00. according to media reports, a 110 of them we used to defend against the radiant attack. suggesting a cost of $385000000.00. the mid range rootkits from the david sling system are about $1000000.00 each. estimates put the cost of $550000000.00 to $1100000000.00. just the april operation. there is another important layer to israel, apple as a key pulse of its defense picture. and in addition to all this, that renew tools coming online, such as the legs a pallet and beam set to be integrated into israel. multi layered and seemingly

successful defense system. a security aspect, christopher morris from the university of portsmouth, the his take on the attacks by his blind is, well, i think more than anything these latest wave of attacks, really i'm the effectiveness of these radio defense system is proved. incredibly, that's of interest. that thing the vast majority of strikes coming from us, but a lot of cost is also a case that the pre emptive strikes carried out from the base of robust intelligence will have significantly degraded the plan, the tie by us by law. but here's the law says this is just the beginning. the no take, we recently released videos of it's huge tunnel network. what fred does it pose 2 is when a lot of course the a lot of interesting things going on because the lot at the moment and i'll certainly be said to these lights, is waived roadside sauce and pre phase one of which is likely to be a far larger,

more sophisticated operation, they have also released some interesting footage over their extensive tunnel network within 11 on now with this, they're probably sending a number of messages festival by saying you could, but you know, we have expensive networking storage and concealment and we can continue doing what we are currently doing for an extended period of time. there also kind of my space telegraphing the risk of infiltration. i'm yeah, it's a real show of force from as below, which is interesting to see if this junction humans around activity levels praise that has below attacks and renewed threats to the ones that are wrong. what do you make of those statements? now one of the biggest concerns in by united, the interest of international security on, on behalf of israel at the moment is going to be coordinated pressure coming from i'm us has the law. i'm the who with these at one time now coordinated effort. so in any sky with the present, a major challenge, it's something they struggle to the sofa, but given the common baccha and iran,

but it's going to be a key concern over the coming months. isn't that exactly when israel has its back up against the wall? when it's attacked on multiple front single tankersley. yes, of course. and that biggest is going to be, i know the larger raining an attack. and the combination of attacks from kind of like a triple h is happening at one's back could be enough to is overwhelm the extensive is radio defenses. and that would present a major challenge. how likely is this the so called attack overprice of attack from the run right now considering everyone's being pricing for this for some time after the killing? of course of how much this political chief is melania and t. ron? of course, yes. say there is increasing concern that there is going to be an a rainy and response. so far we've seen that while we see in a large scale of attack, and we've also seen intense pressure stemming from its proxies across the region. now again, coordination is going to be a major issue that if we were to see

a large range of attack again, i would expect the us, which maintains a heavy presence in the region 2 gets involved in intercepting any strike. so whilst it is a major concern, there are supposed international forces to consider in the region as well. well, the us, so also has carriers that have arrived in the region, but just summing up, how would you write the risk of or out war? now considering all of these developments, it's a precarious balance on the one hand, nobody wants to face, you know, the front, the ground war in lab, and on. and everybody is mindful of escalation. on the other hand, we have this persistent need on behalf of everybody involved to maintain face. and that seems to be one of the key aspects driving the conflict at the moment. so it was a very precarious problems that we were in at the moment. is that the only hope that the escalation saving face? well, it's actually,

i would say saving face is what's driving the violence. you know, you have this persistent need on the off a pet spa mouse who these to respond to as route and to demonstrate strengths fairly to do that would carry, you know, immediate local consequences. and of course, it would be a concern for them major allied around. so i'd say it's probably one of the facts. is this really driving the conflict moving and so. so what else to play is need to do in the region or elsewhere abroad to ensure that this doesn't regional level as well, hopefully 11 and can be enough. so you keep a be until about 11 e state. it can be and obviously the key bottom here um, in terms of like relieving pressure is going to be on, i suppose the us and iran is external policies to really kind of, i suppose, rein in the tensions in the region. exactly how that might happen. i'm and show, but it's definitely something that the international community needs to continue to watch with the incredible interest by today. it's your insights,

christopher morris from the university of elizabeth, thanks for being on data over here. thank you so much. look at some of the stories making headlines out. flash flooding, triggered by torrential brains, is left at least 13 dead on indonesia is eastern. the island of 10. now to the deluge swept away residential areas and buried thousands of houses and buildings and mud, searching basically, teams and looking for those reported may say at least $36.00 people have been killed in 2 separate bonds, accidents in pakistan, on vehicle carrying she on most on pilgrims bid off the highway into a ravine and below inches nonprofits killing a dozen people and other bones crashed into a ravine. in the northern town of a soft pot on, with ortiz, have launched investigations. and the un migration agency says 13 people have died and 14. now there's a missing. after a boat sank off the coast of yemen, the vessel had the bottom from your booty,
