play the trail of destruction. thousands more. evacuations on the wave. while teens, the volunteers try to save the towns and cities from the rising for the i'm anthony, how it welcome. new explosions have been hood across living on less than a day after at least 12 people were killed when thousands of pages exploited the bloss targeted members of hezbollah, who had been using the devices in hopes of avoiding is riley surveillance of the mobile phones. now report to coming in, but bulky trophies used by the round back to militant group has also been exploding, including the are a funeral for those killed in the earlier page of blasts. 11 on is in shock the day after what's been described as an unprecedented attack. as hundreds
5:02 pm
of pagers used by the militia group. hezbollah exploded over about an hour, causing several depths and thousands of injuries. in the aftermath, many schools and shops are closed and residents are still really automatic. what happened yesterday shocked us? hold on. it was unimaginable. no one could have thought that pages could explode like that page of the vehicle. the scene was shocking. how people were toner, pause right in front of you though. exploding rise in front of you at the minute. one blast was caught on camera in a statement read on lebanese television and you are as well. so which is considered a terrorist group by the you and others, has been placed the blame, squarely on israel, invalid to punish the perpetrators of the attack while in welcome was some lebanese
5:03 pm
agreed with their message. but now we will retaliate. we have to teach them a less than they con, forget, because those people, if they are not home to money, they will not be deterred. many has blown members were using the pagers because the groups leadership had thought the older technology could evade tracking by israel security experts believe is real. spike agency massage was able to insert a small amount of explosives into devices somewhere along the supply chain before they reached has the hospitals and they route have been overwhelmed with a sudden rush of patients. staff say they treated grisly wounds and the emergency doctor last night at the hotel the hospital. unfortunately, as everyone knows, we received injuries due to devices exploding and people's hands. so the injuries were mainly to the eyes and hands which caused the finger amputations trapped on
5:04 pm
the eyes. some people lost their site. so i don't know if the tensions are running high and loving on. the question now is if and when has below and it's back or is the wrong, will retaliate for the attack? and it's more on this. i'm joined by melinda hoss. she's an assistant professor of international affairs at the university of pittsburgh graduate school in a public and international affairs. could that be with us, melinda, and unprecedented attack? and now we're hearing a potential new explosions. i wanted a how can an attack of this precision and scale they organized? again, i think the assumption that this is a state sponsored operation probably must be correct given both the geographic extent, the technical sophistication and just the orchestration of the explosions and cells . much less than sort of on the ground intelligence required to infiltrate multiple types of devices. so that, that has the,
5:05 pm
what agents are using does it surprise you that someone has been able to august, right and complete this task? it doesn't surprise me. i think it is sort of unprecedented and its scale. and especially now that it's extending to multiple types of devices. but i think the orchestration is meant to send a message that uh, that the, the sponsor, probably israel here is, is able to sort of reach into head beloved organization. no matter what types of low tech devices are being used and get to those people, even on the ground, melinda, do we know any diesel? it's just how much has beloved relied on this form of communication in a day to day running. it's right there. there has been a shift from more sophisticated cellphone technology that was more susceptible to
5:06 pm
israel's dig into capabilities to the sort of lower tech devices walkie talkies pagers in order to try to circumvent that intelligence. but this goes to show that there are important trade offs between low tech and hijacked devices and not even low tech are not an susceptible to be until treated if it is consent that is riley is behind the attack. does this constitute a violation of international law? what do you think? i think that is real. we tried to make the argument that by targeting the specific shipments of a peters and potentially walkie talkies, that they were attempting to target only military combatants, right? only has the law members, but i think there is an argument to be made that this is potentially an indiscriminate attack right. at the time of the explosions is unclear. who has possession of the teachers or the walkie talkies. where,
5:07 pm
where are those individuals where civilians at risk? i mean, clearly they were based on the results and do this due to that sort of indiscriminate targeting and potential civilian targeting. that would be where the international law concerns. and when you say indiscriminate deal, so get that sense that it's all my stuff that she needs take that by so an opening to take out an attack like this. right. especially sort of the timing of this operation that the timing extensive timing needed to prepare for such an operation . and then when the charges themselves went off, i think it's important to consider the why of that. why now in potentially that was due to an opportunistic or the potential to sort of lose the opportunity. so they took advantage of it now. as for the clients, these route is behind the attack. it has apparently already carried out the fist across the border retaliation. what do you think could be a will be the international consequences of this fact?
5:08 pm
i think as many are concerned, of course, for the potential for regional escalation here. i think that this is a continuation of the back and forth between has blocks. and israel that's been occurring since october 7th. and of course before i think that is real is very carefully using these types of cover operations both on sort of ground level has the law members as well as cobra operations against has the leaders to slowly escalate and not escalate to sort of full uses of force rate, the moderate level of escalation provided by covert operations could prevent further regional escalation to include iran or other potential regional implications. right. and so the us, before we go us,
5:09 pm
as i stood firmly behind is ro, if it's confirmed that israel is behind the attacks, what could this main for us foreign policy? as of course, the u. s. is really been pushing a diplomatic solution to these conflicts with gaza and with has the la cus is not interested in a regional conflict in and boiling a ran or sort of more traditionally uses a force. i think that we will likely see strong words by the us, but i'm not sure. ultimately, it will affect the us as a need to israel in a meaningful way. melinda hoss has been fantastic to get your insight. thank so much for your time on data. please thank you. well take, he's taking a strongly and he is rarely position since the boy in gaza began. the country was once he's roused. closest ally in the region, but ties have deteriorated on the president. richard type, 3rd one is criticized east west and the allies,

5:16 pm
louis gets more and more or less as we saw were now report had taken society is known for its solidarity with the palestinians. adelanto. but they also normalize ties with ease, riling, 2022. how much of it once hash rhetoric translates into actual policy into a picture? first of all, i must say that i never really wanted to make a point with these design. is this mike got sold a bit strange to just in the observers. let it be just follow up on footstep throughout this conflict. in the 1st 2 weeks he was very requested. he asked, what is the most of all the quoting for restraint on assets that he didn't escalate at all? she had to change the zip code of the public pressure to him to do so. dr. divers, it'd be huge public. this content that i talked to should be something that they want after the 4 months. he doesn't match his zip code of actions, and that's also his defeat in march 2024 local election. that's his 1st book to go
