haifa. of the news is a constant reminder of the time situation. jonathan cohen and his family vac. here at 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 back home cooling is one of an estimated 60000 is ready, so has been unable to return to the noise i because of hezbollah attacks do support at 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 is rowe and just using heavier weapons is versus it's aims to remove the threat posed by the time group and return displace residents to northern israel. it has become a will go for the time. yeah. who government, a goal that a position the to informal cabinet members, any guns also supports we have no choice but to defend ourselves. it's true that we are stronger than the others, but the doesn't mean we are not right. we are right. oh closes, right. we have no interest in lebanon, other than security. any peace butler wants to the state, but as this area, he would pay the government to live in them. unfortunately, we pace with i have a nice authorities say hundreds of people have been killed and is really s strikes since monday and tens of thousands more. have selected them being,

isabel has accused has belie of hiding its weapons and homes and villages and live on israel is 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 dote is a senior fellow at the foundation for the defense defense of democracies. and he

focuses on lebanon and has the law. he gave me this assessment of the situation there. i 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. uh, the tit for tat that was going on for the 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 gone up. i mean, yesterday there were 1600 attacks alone. and the targets of those attacks have been uh, headboard uh arsenal, but also their leadership and their crossing has the woods red lines where for so long they route uh was uh kind of off limits is really striking. now we're seeing almost every other day of striking they route targeting has the senior leadership. so it's, it's, it's an, as it's a notable escalation from, or the israelis versus the 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 the will, has the life committed to continue attacking israel until there's a fire cause of cheese fire at the secretary general, scroll up after the telecommunications divide the attack added the west bank. it's a patient who is really operations on the west bank to that condition just a few days ago. and they, they, you know, they will look weak if they, if they back off from that goal. so it really is really, it's going to be a, depending upon the need to make a trip to inflict enough pain upon has the low to where are continuing. this campaign is no longer worth it. if that doesn't work, we could see further intensification or potentially a 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. that's 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 blah well look where these uh, 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 this of in the environment . it's, it's almost unavoidable unfortunately, that when you're trying to target a headboard rocket or to know 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, if they're putting a whole arts on the lines or a building and you have to take 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 they've and briefly 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, or will they, will they supper? it's that back of course. but we should not consider them kind of out for the fight to just to go for with the foundation for the defense of democracies data. thank you. thank you so much. and let's have looked at some of the other stories making headlines around the world of the russian strikes are an apartment building and a bakery in ukraine's northeastern city of hockey. have killed at least 3 people and injured more than 30. that's according to president. lot of mints, lensky, or victims. or if you're to be trapped under the roof, united states will send you crane medium range, cluster bombs, rockets, artillery, and armored vehicles in the military aid package worth $375000000.00. that's according to american officials. earlier you creating president flooding his zalinski, met with us energy finance,

residents to evacuate residence have been feeling sand bags in preparation for anticipated flooding. meteorologist matthew could put you joins us for jean joins us from orlando, florida. for, for more matthew, welcome. give us an idea of how powerful dangerous this the one could be. oh, yeah, most definitely. so right now it's still only a tropical storm with winds around 100 kilometers per hour. the issue, it's moving over incredibly more water temperature is around $3536.00 degrees celsius and weak upper level wind. so there won't really be much at all to kind of knock it off kilter for which reason we're fever and wrap it, intensification. and i think by thursday, when this makes land fall into being been to florida, it might have winds over a 120 miles per hour, meaning close to a 180 kilometers per hour. category 3, maybe boars and a storm surge of 3 plus meters. so this could be the strongest hurricane of the year, and the strongest to hit slower as is 2022. we know sometimes these storms can take

a radek movement. how sure are we about where it's going to land and when it's actually been a bit of an issue so far from the forecasting standpoint, because earlier we're trying to figure out where the center of the storm would form is to organizing right now. and so trying to model it and predict where it's going is tough until a storm center forms. it's like plain pin the tail on the donkey when you don't have the donkey. and so in this case, the center earlier on jobs, farther south and west, and the biggest question now, if that center stays a little farther west, it might pass over the u, contain peninsula cutting back on how much time it has to do with the open ocean. the warm waters and cutting back in intensity. but if it's just say 50 kilometers a 100 kilometers farther east, it'll have more time over the open ocean and a warm waters and be stronger. so we're still pretty confident it will come ashore into big ben to florida a little bit north of se, tampa, east of tallahassee. what strength will be in question and that depends on the exact track you mentioned. potential storm searches over 3 meters. if you look at

that, but then you also look at, we're not exactly sure where it's going to land and the and how do you prepare and how do you prepare your citizens if you are involved in the government and any of these towns, municipalities, or that's an incredibly difficult question for a lot of folks to answer, but we always tell folks run from the water hide from the wind. you can shelter in place and a sturdy building from wind, but you can't really hide from water. you have to basically out run it inland, and unfortunately this part of florida is so close to sea level. it's difficult to do that. evaluation is, are a very complex, nuanced thing. you have people who might have mobility challenges, they might be elderly, they might have, you know, a job. so it might not let them lead. there might be a financial consideration to people might not be a for able to afford to move inland. and so it's a really tricky question right now. there are some counties issue in mandatory evacuations, but ultimately hopefully folks make the right call get out of the harm's way when necessary because this one could be a really bad storm. this is the 8 storm with the current hurricane season. we have

another one right down the pacific which we talked about earlier. how is the development of the storms changing as the climate shift? so interestingly, we're forecasting of hyperactive season. and yet we had a big gap of no storms from mid to late august into mid september, which is very unusual. the 1st time we've seen that since 1968, interestingly, climate change in the warming of ocean waters and the atmosphere is not tied to how many storms we get. but it makes those that we get more prone to rapid intensification and becoming stronger. so ultimately, the number of storms doesn't really matter and is not find that signal climate length. but, you know, right now, water temperatures are near record warming, have a record oceana keep contents of hurricane fuel in those warm waters. and subsequently the storm might rapidly intensify. more so than anticipated, and that does bear the fingerprint of a warming world. the urologist matthew could put you. thank you very much. thank you. the right and finally there is an adorable pain when making the rounds
