retaliation it says for the killing of one of its commanders in b route last month. as well as, as it struck a military base near tel aviv. a claim is real denies, as well as chief sides, the gas to cease fire talks as the reason for their delayed response to their commander's death in a televised address. well, su 4 and they started saying that there will be a stop to the aggression. and that there was going to be a ceasefire. i understand to hold off. and that's why we took our time and i said that we didn't tell anyone we would take all the time. but honestly we did to give room for these negotiations. and so suddenly had the in the hall of up let me know if he warned that it hasn't been less response may not yet be over. the israel says it began pre emptive air strikes on sunday against hezbollah targets and 11 on after they detected plans of an attack against his territory. the idea of claimed a 100 fighter jets have struck and destroyed

a thousands of hezbollah rocket launcher barrels aimed at israel. it also released these images. it says are of the hezbollah. drone being intercepted, israel's prime minister issued a warning after an emergency national security cabinet meeting. and that's one of which you're not. 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 should pull up a hudson. we had them sundays escalation to further heightens tensions as talks to reach a cease fire and a hostage released still in gaza. continue as well. laura blumenfeld is the middle east analyst and former advisor to the us state departments is rarely palestinian negotiating team. she joins me from washington, dc. it welcome laura. let's talk about these attacks between israel and has been a lot. do you think this is just a brief escalation,

or are we looking at more to come in the next days and weeks? look, you is a significant escalation, but it is the middle east. there were a bombs in the morning and by the afternoon in israel and 11 on the beaches were open and an egypt to cease fire tossed continue to continued. you know, it's middle east math, there are many open accounts. so i do think to answer your question, there will be more unfortunately, and his prime minister, netanyahu himself said, this is not the end of the story. that was his quote. i mean, there's still, you know, open accounts with a who sees there's more potentially with his bar this really civilians can return to their homes, which are those villages right now in the north of school starting, it will be the 2nd year. there's really children aren't able to attend school in their home towns along that northern border. and of course there's the ron hanging out there. so i'm, i'm sorry to say at the start over a week that you, this is not the end that let's just talk a little bit about the timing of the hezbollah attack on israel has bowl as,

as it was retaliating against israel for the killing of one of its commanders last month, but they didn't launch their mass of attack until israel attacked southern lebanon . why do you think that they waited as well? part of that i do take at face value, letting us realize said, i mean the ceasefire tops, there's been no breakthrough, but they haven't had a breakdown. and he certainly doesn't want to be part of that kind of blame game. well, they can't agree on the end game between israel and how most part of it is, you know, a bid for world favor. another thing is, you know, as the headed the most side once told me, but i think this role is following the same rule when it comes to retaliation. you choose the timing, you choose the method and you choose the battlefield. and part of that is by making, making your opponent weight is the kind of psychological head game. right. what were, you know, these realize have been on the edge of so it's 11 use for that matter. but one of these rallies have been, you know, into a deep angst mode and the economy is suffering and all that is part of the pain is

part of the punishment. i'm talking about waiting for retaliation. let's just talk about here on briefly. they vowed revenge on israel for the killing of how mazda is political chief as male hon. yeah. into here on the last month. so far they haven't attacked israel. what do you think is going on there? well, i think iran for, for sure is playing the long get the long game. there is a clock ticking down in palestine square into a wrong, which is a tuesday clock, which supposedly is going to uh, you know, to count down to israel denial ation. um they do want punishment, i do believe there is a sort of need for blood blood for blood. and it could potentially show the form of some kind of terrorist attack abroad perhaps. but in the meantime, you know, the united states is sent to stripe forest carrier groups. and that submarine that they said is not a defensive weapon, is an off fence of submarine. and i think that they're getting that message loud and clear. middle east dental is laura blumenfeld. thank you for your insights.

thank you. of how much it says it rejects new is rarely conditions put forward during talks in cairo, the talks are aimed at securing a cease fire in gaza and the release of hostages keeps sticking points that include, as well as insistence on maintaining a presence along causes, southern border with egypt. how must obligation left cairo after holding talks with mediators. the wife on the tiny is the former cuts, our defense intelligence director and elector, and an international relations. we asked them where the negotiation stand at the moment. well, the mediators have clearly 3 main points that they want to focus the attention of the negotiating positives, the 3 main points is association of violence and, and the operation on a long term ceasefire as, as someone with that. and, you know,

determine which see how that goes. but association of 5, the 2nd time of hostages off the street through a regimented program agreed between the 2 properties and sub uh, the humanitarian aid, which counselor is, is really in need of right now. and the situation is going for want, unfortunately in, in a, in a negative sense when it comes to the amount of failure made. unfortunately, the negotiating policies have also added different elements of the 3 main focus governments of these ladies, for instance, as just one example brought to the philadelphia called caught a dog as another element of securing that and having these really forces that the objections obviously are against that for many reasons, least of which is bad would need to amend uh, the uh, the peace accord between egypt and israel. that was done back in the seventy's. and that's just taking everything back to a different direction and

a much more complicated batch. let's look at some other stories making headlines now around the world. president for letting there's a landscape says ukrainian forces are making small advances in rushes, krusik reject the captured to more settlements. ukraine is also calling on bell roost to pull back troops and equipment stations along their common border. the most least. hope francis has condemned ukraine's ban on a branch of the orthodox church. me to russia. the pope's as churches must not be touched. she is the train, maintains the moscow base church supports russia's full scale invasion of any crane i the media here, the put a sunday clothes people, german prosecutors say a 26 year old syrian man has confessed to killing 3 people and a knife attack at a festival investigators are looking for links between the suspect and the so called as lubbock state. the tara group claims that was behind the rampage,
