news is a constant reminder of the volatile situation. jonathan cohen and his family evacuated the home almost a year ago following the october 7th. how most tara tax, the border, the homeless located in the area bordering live on after several months of moving from place to place. they found somewhere to stay in haifa, but back home cooling is one of an estimated 60000 is radius who has been unable to return to the noise because of hezbollah attacks it to support the support a wider operation. i'm afraid they have many friends that have family. i have a lot of people that i know that could be going into level 9 or are guys uh but we have, we have to solve it for once and for all we have to solve it. it's gotta be, it's gotta be done. as the law has extended the

range of its attacks, deeper into israel. and just using heavier weapons is versus it's aims to remove the threat posed by the 10 group and returned displace residents to northern israel. it has become a will go for the 10, yahoo government, a goal that opposition data and former vocabulary meant that any guns also supports . we have no choice but to defend ourselves. it's true that 3 of stronger than the others. but the doesn't mean we are not the right. right? oh, close is right. we have no interest in lebanon, other than security. any peace butler wants to be stable as this area. he would pay the government to live in the unfortunate and clearly pays with a denise authorities say, hundreds of people have been killed and is really s strikes since monday and tens

of thousands more have fled to bomb being, isabel has accused has belie of hiding its weapons and homes and villages and live on, as well as doing everything and scan to prevent harm for civilians. walk as well as hiding behind them and shooting at our civilians. we're doing everything we can. so this bump shelter is for jonas and cohen is prepared for the situation to get worse, and i always get to really ugly and devastating. hopefully it would be the last time. otherwise it wouldn't be worth it. we sacrifice a lot. hopefully to that last time. hope but no certainty that they can soon return to their homes. david's out as a senior fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracies, he joins me now for more on this david walk into the show. we've seen that the is

really military has struck hundreds of targets in a relatively short period of time. help us understand the intensity of that operation and what it suggest might be coming next. thank you for having the honors, you know that these really have severely intensified their attacks and 11 on this is a continuation of the cabinets decision last week to ensure that we still would have been misplaced from northern israel. can return to their home safely be fit for tat that was going on for 11 months prior since we did not suffice. and now the is rarely use of not just expanded the footprint of those attack. they've done up. i mean, yesterday there were 1600 attacks alone, and the targets of those attacks have been, has the uh arsenal, but also their leadership and their crossing has the red lines where for so long they roots. uh. busy ready as uh, kind of off limits is really striking. now we're seeing almost every other day of

striking they root targeting has both senior leadership. so it's, it's, it's an, as it's a notable escalation from or the is realize we're just a week and a half ago. how large could this campaign grow when we look at israel's goal stated goal of putting northern residents out of harm's way? but i think in the, in the immediate term, what we're going to see is a continuation of this intensification. it's almost a context of will the headboard is committed to continue attacking israel until there is a fire? god, the teeth fired secretary general, scroll up after the telecommunications device attack. how did the west bank it's a patient of its really operations in the west bank to that condition just a few days ago. and they say, you know, they would look like if they, if they back off from that goal. so cuz he is really, it's going to be a, depending upon them to make a trip to inflict enough pain upon hezbollah to where are continuing. this campaign is no longer worth it. if that doesn't work,

we could see further intensification or potentially ground maneuver. but for the time being, i think we're going to see a lot of what we've been seeing for the past week and a half, as we've seen already more than 500 deaths so far from these airstrikes. why can't is real do more to prevent civilian jets if it's goal? is these militants from has the law? well, look where these guys, civilian deaths are happening there in areas that are predominantly controlled by her blog. and this, oh is to head bla, intertwining. it's military asset. we would civilian with disappointing the environment it's, it's almost one avoidable. unfortunately, that when you're trying to target a headboard rocket arsenal or they're fighters, if they're fighting from civilian areas, dose of civilian harris. if they're in place, you know, if they're meeting and civilian areas that they're putting a whole arsenal under a building and you have to pick out the best weapons cash it's, it's impossible to uh, to avoid the civilian death even when you issued warranties to the civilians. to

vacate those areas prior to that david briefly, you touched on this before, but how we can is hezbollah following last week's attack on pages and radios, briefly if you can. and i think they are definitely on their back heels. but hezbollah is a professional organization, will they? will they supper? it's that back of course, but we should not consider them kind of out for the fight. so just yeah. all right, let's go for with the foundation for the defense of democracies data. thank you. thank you. so much we was present, joe biden has called for an in to current global conflicts in his final address to the united nations general assembly in new york. bind, spoke about the wars and ukraine and gaza and said a diplomatic solution to the conflict between israel and his blood was still possible. the president, one that i ran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. but there was also optimism in his address as the president looked back on his many decades in politics. i know,
