attacks to yeah, 1st i mean i was walking, it's sunset posted by digits and 2nd slate that i switch explosion. it sounds like it's just like supposed to be really me, but with those but because 15 minutes by car a wait, there's really exposed to indication how big this explosive on the patient really was. and we had, it's the fits a tech, a of the southern subjects since last friday. but this is by far the biggest that should not be struck. the stripe is a targeted attack slaton a whole lot of these $6.00 to $7.00 houses completely slept. and it's not clear really how many victims they are, the area is basically a cut off by his opponent security. but i mean, if you look at the last sites that we know that there is

a lot of people that the civilians for sure positive. also, people from this bullet, in this alleged his phone, the headquarters on the ground. so the numbers for sure, really rise in the next hours to kareem allegory and the root there. i also asked are jerusalem correspondent tanya kramer, how events had unfolded why i shortly after 11 o'clock in no time the is there any military i published in math of the southern suburbs of for southern part of a be rude. and they basically were telling people in those neighborhoods to leave the area and ever since you've seen ways of air strikes uh in this area. uh the um, is there any minute areas those head start thousands of targets, a weapon store would be nice civilian buildings as to put it there also has carried out strikes in uh, southern living on over the past hours or so. we had uh some brokerage alerts uh

from incoming brokers, pi a uh from i live in an towards a northern a towns now which we are seeing tonight here is uh much, much largest choice strikes now on a baby route. uh, taking off basically as we understand it, infrastructure until now, you're seeing a targeted strikes against a husband are compound as the and also what happened, of course, earlier a tonight. but now this seems to intensify the conflict. there's a targeting also the infrastructure of hezbollah in a southern bay route. as he said, telling you that 1st major strike appeared to be targeting as the leader now's follow. can we say if he's dead or alive? we don't know yet. they are a lot of speculations, a lot of reports out uh, also denials that he is healthy and allies. that's in israel. that has been

a lot of reports based on senior officials or also an intelligence sources. they said, the strike on this scale would have only happened is intelligence here was enough to say that at least half and as well as in detail. if his bullet was in the area was in this underground a headquarters now we heard you heard it earlier. there from the shortly after this strike happened in bay route, only this official statement by the armies spokesperson donny hook, are you saying that the idea for the military had carried out to strike on the center headquarters? ever since? that is not yet a conformation where the house on this was indeed target. it was indeed the, at the location. so everybody's waiting to hear more about what we've been seeing before and must've strikes a on this underground. a structure also of course with more and more to be and also

cause you to suspected expected in the area. and of course, we also heard that a permanent sub in, you mean to, to know he was at the united nations be giving his speech to and this happened shortly after. and it's probably his office said that he would cut you off his visit and come back to israel, or the other implant. you've mentioned that many of these strikes are hitting residential buildings extensively. many of our viewers are probably wondering how targeted such attacks can be. what does the is really military say about the strikes and the told at their taking on civilians? well, they always say uh basically they said that again uh tonight uh when the carried out dislodge stripe. earlier this evening that they're targeting has buller commanders or infrastructure in this case. um uh, later tonight now. and that actually has paula is uh, placing those uh, you know, the headquarters

a weapon storage in civilian homes. this is what the military here says, and this is why there's tracking those houses or homes or, or areas. they have said this also you seen this also in gaza in the end, the war there striking those areas. and always saying that basically this paula is using the civilian population, the human she is, but of course it comes at a cost. and i think we only see now the casualty. numbers are coming in over the course of the evening. and also know of course, from the flight to strikes, of course is what i would say. we have been warning a people that the strikes are coming. and of course, it's one of the most densely populated areas there. be 1000 a sort of of a root. so we're expecting the, the desk told, and the injuries are coming from their to rise significantly. tanya kramer interest them. thank you. let's have

a look else. and the other story is making headlines around the world floods. lensky held talks with former us president donald trump. on friday. the republican presidential nominee has repeatedly said to us is paying too much for ukraine's defense. ukrainian president wants to make sure the us continues to support, keeps fight against russia, regardless of who wins november's election. dozens of children's rounds and in the northern indian state of b ha, or bathing and rivers and ponds and rituals that were part of a hindu religious festival. special saved rivers overflowed under heavy rain. local governments of pledge compensation to the victims, families, swift cyclists. mariel for has died after suffering a head injury at the road in paris cycling world championships and 0. 18 year old crashed during her race and was air lifted. the hosp to the hospital was, authorities are investigating the cause of the crash for attaining

a lien. has been downgraded to a tropical storm after leaving a trail of destruction across the southeastern united states with a rough historic ferocity in his being blamed for more than 30 deaths, storm swamp neighborhoods, and left more than 3000000 homes without power. all right, let's go over to meet your ologist and joe is matthew put you? he's in orlando, florida. monitoring the storm. matthew, what is the latest about helene? well, the good news lead is no longer tropical storm or hurricane it is post tropical meaning it's fully lots of tropical characteristics that said part of the process for doing so. it's just unloading all it's tropical moisture. so we've seen more than half a meter of rain phone portion of the carolinas, and it's southern appalachians, the mountains helping to focus all that drop the moisture getting prolific downforce. and unfortunately, so far, 46 people confirm dead. many of those deaths due to flooding at the coast. we have confirmation that 85 meters storm surge did in fact occur near interests, north of keaton, beach, destiny,

painted. that's rather in the big bend of florida. and winds likely guessing over about, i'd say, a 120 kilometers per hour, or rather a 170 kilometers per hour with the time. i'm sorry, i mentioned for some periods, suffice to say it's been a very long couple of days. and fortunately, this area is pretty much done that said the clean up process is just beginning and it's going to be a long process for a lot of people. matthew, we spoke so much about lean making lands on florida. what was coming for florida. we knew that it was going to be bad for the southeast as well, but still somewhat surprising. the meta tags are in north carolina, other states outside of florida, is that surprising? was it expected to know that's a really good point. we have something called the predecessor rain events, basically a predecessor rain event or a p r e is something that can happen up to about 800 kilometers away from a shop to cycling. in this case, the moisture from helene proceeded in and interacted with the cold front of the kind of stall across the mountains. so between that and the mountains actually helped me to kind of to gather that moisture, you got heavy rains a day and a half,

almost 2 days before who means arrival. so 1st you've got about 2025 cent of years worth of rain. ball saturated the ground cost flooding then around to came in when, who we could actually move dylan and dumps again, almost that much more. sure if not more. and so that's why you got those top meter totals, but realistically, to get installed on top of injury. and in indeed so many rivers and mountains and communities. and it goes to show the power water even well removed from any oceans and far inland. we talked about the historic nature of this hurricane as it was approaching. did it live up to those expectations? we look at the wind speeds. we look at the rain, we look at everything. i think it's in, you know, i think one thing that is concerned when it comes to communicating drop inside the house or is it the meter? all just is that so often people forget that these things do hold together inland, sometimes at the coast. people evacuated about the wind damage across georgia, across inland portions of south carolina. what's significant millions of customers lost power even far from the coast line. and so this wasn't just an example of

a hurricane that hit the coast been kind of died inland. this thing truck all the way up towards the middle, lansing and even spawn tornadoes in rocky mountain, north carolina, near raleigh. and we're not done yet potentially. the hurricane season is still going on. can we see more of these before the years out? a yeah, so generally speaking we're about 60 to 65 percent done, so to speak in terms of averages. so that means we still have more than a 3rd of the season left. and i do see at least one or 2 more storm impacts. and i do the caribbean or the gulf and mexico right now. the national markets enters monitoring a new system in the north west caribbean that could enter the gulf in about 5 to 7 days time. there's a 30 percent chance getting eventually developed. but that said, we see mystery before we've heard that story before and we know how sometimes it ends. so honestly, it's forecast where i got my fingers crossed. it doesn't develop. but that said, you know, conditions could favor problems towards middle of next week. all right, that's mean urologist in general was matthew poochie. thank you very much. thank
