already. he joins us now from the root cream. the lebanese militant group has bella has now confirmed the death of its long time leader, her son as rela, what more can you tell us? yes, it took quite a while for that the, i mean the whole thing happened yesterday evening and now today if you find a confirmation from his paula that it's the the was cute in yesterday's is really as striking the same statement. it says also that to his periods and his ideas will remain with us, and they calling on their fighters to fulfill his promises and to continue with the resistance as it says until the victory it. so this is of cause a big load for his bullet. after the walkie talkie and patriot tech,

then they tell you a military hospital was killed in target. this is really strikes and now the politically the position is killed though. i think have you all set all that was the means by far not the test of the organization. there is also now the question was, he's supposed to follow him, and there are reports that said his vice onto know night in hudson is going to be temporary. the, the, the of the position onto a new person is chose me. what do we know about his wife? it was he of course took over this organization that in 1982 interesting enough also a, he's a previous as a it was also kids seen and is really striking. 1982 and then the

scarlet took over also at that time, is there any salt that is going to weaken the organization? what happens is that most honda, it made this organization stronger than ever and also military be stronger than ever is so he continued say his operations to us. this was one of the big things. also, he did, he said this fight, this seemed to the syrians civil war on the sides of the regime. something in many or of countries. they're seeing that this was that to now was very popular. the 2006 when the of the of the the wall between his folder and his right. then later, when he took parties, he is right in the syrian civil war. this corporate deputy decreased at the airport . but of course now he was a very charismatic person. he was basically seen by his support as well

as some kind of father figure that uh and i believe you made reference to an interim leader or somebody who might take over a t at the current time. did you mention his wife? is that what i heard you say? nope. no, his vice 9 device is vice. yeah, that's okay but, but it's, it's but it's good. it's not, it's not, it's not completely kit. we have reports about it, but it's still pretty confirmed. gets officially by his but what, what are the reactions that you're hearing inside of 11 on with the this situation is very, very tense. i mean, when the news broke over in his bullet, find any consumptive this, you could see people really being in shock at the street being in the morning being like angry. and even some t. v crews were arrested that tax because people were so so angry about the situation. of course, there is no the unified reaction in the, in the this is she

a community that is the support as if it's part of their might be of us and live on a. we're actually quite happy about that because they hope that the controllers could taste the influence of as well. not in the country. so, but they of course, speaking out, right enough, a few minutes ago before we went on here, there was a group of motorcycles are from photo support. this was the flex driving, is making a lot of noise driving through the streets of burglary saying, be careful. we are here clearly people and 11 on are divided over the issue of has bola, is this latest news um, accenting, if you will, that division in the country? not yet. i mean, that's got to be, see, it's got to be very interesting because there are groups who are very aunty hispaniola in this country. they see that the hist for nice too strong became

something called kind of a state of the state is stronger than the military. it says military. so that there's something as somebody but he's really a basically want to change and maybe they hope there is this kind of change might be know around the corner. but until now this is very careful to express this kind of feelings openly. i'm sure there's a lot of speculating going on in the country, including in the news media there. what can we expect reasonably from a ron? now? this is the big, big question. what can we expect? isn't many to richard from peaceful night says what can we expect to get on on? very, very unclear. but it seems to me that you're on has to do something because, i mean, it's also this to show that it supports allies. it grows for so many years and not only live on on, but also for example in game. and so we can expect for these some kind of giving an

operation of training on such a bit. maybe not too strong because generally speaking, it on to the doesn't want to be direct in the home out. well, that's a journalist coming out already interviewed many, many thanks user do it. israel has continued carrying out air strikes and what it describes as has bullet targets across 11 on throughout the day. smoke were seen rising overboard route after several attacks on the south of the city. these really military said it had hit more than a 140 targets since friday night with new attacks on southern and eastern 11 on as well. as bola has responded by firing rockets into northern israel as well as b is really occupied. go on, heights is really military spokesman. daniel has already said those rolla was killed to stop a hum, mosse style attacked on northern israel. he defended the attack,

which reportedly killed around $300.00 people. blaming his bullet for sheltering amongst civilians. faced by that has been planning to do this. you know then he is read what some us did in cells and he's run on october 7th. evey. these will infiltrate civic and communities and massacre. innocent civilians, their israel defense forces will not let it happen. or how soon a saw the leader of an evil terrorist organization. the senior terrorist eliminated with him and the central headquarters were legitimate military target under international law. the throttle intentionally viewed close by central headquarters under residential buildings, industrial b route. because faced by intentionally use us let the nice civilians as human shields for more. let's now speak to dw corresponded tonya cramer in jerusalem.

tanya, tell us what you're hearing from israel regarding as well as death and any possible retaliation by his ball. i was thinking is a, this is of course, seen as a major a success. you know that the is really military was able to carry out the strike. and here a, as i said, this is underground. a facility in this really residential and densely populated a neighborhood. but also that they have the intelligence to head has fall are right in the, in the hard know this is really all we had already earlier this morning said they, they had killed her son, us by law. as a long time, arch enemy of is rose for over 30 years. the time that he was leading has fuller and the also heard. now the defense minister, you of garland who said that he was responsible for the death of thousands of is

varies, but also a foreign nationals this announcement by the army this morning also said that other senior commanders were killed alongside his blood. but i think the discussion here now as the beacon comes to an end and more political reactions are coming in, is also shifting now to of what comes next and what will be the possible retaliation by his beloved, but also possibly by yvonne and you just go to statement by the is really military, the idea of chief of stuff hutton and libby said he finished an assessment and approved by 2 tons for the northern command. and that he estimates that there are challenging days ahead and all this happens while we are talking here is, well, is continuing, it's uh, air strikes as you've seen over the past 2 weeks. uh, starting also on monday,

these most of the strikes on southern living on and on parts of eastern liber none but also from last night. uh, mainly also in a be rude with a devastating consequences, of course, step a for the civilian population. but at the moment, the several scenarios that are being discussed is what comes next. but of course, it's unclear of what steps has spell out or will take. so might argue, tonya, that those airstrikes are paving the way for it is real to send in ground troops. how likely is that to happen? or yeah, that's usually what happens when a ground invasion is being blind. you see a mess. it's as strikes in the area or in the days before that, and that would mean that then the ground forces would move in and be seen on the is rarely a minute, are preparing for a possible ground invasion. but we don't know when, if this will happen though,

that has been reserve is called up, is also built up at the northern border. but it's also a to see whether they would actually go in the substance of a support by the is really popular of for the outcome. pay now is a, has some superiority in, in a targeting of those military targets as uh, the army puts it by air, but going into a southern living on this is a major risk also for the soldiers going in. and that could shift public opinion. so uh, what we are hearing is maybe they have to do with us because a military other than say they want to create a buffer zone to further push hezbollah back from the border area. and that is part of this school by israel, but they have said, is that they want to bring the residence of northern israel back into the homes that had to evacuate to them in october last year. and you have to wait and see

what the next steps are and what is relevant do there seems to be no let up or they continue pushing militarily. but also of course, has fall on possibly is wrong or will do in the next coming hours or days. and in the next coming days, i have a feeling we're going to be seeing plenty of you that is a dw corresponding to tanya kramer. many thanks is always to as well as desk confirmed, not only by his real, but now also by his bullet itself is a massive blow to the wrong back group which he has led since 1992 here. now, a closer look at the legacy of his bowl as long term secretary jen, hassle. the last video showing close on this rather young condemning israel's pedro attack on has blog members earlier this month. and one of them who knows around the was a familiar face on t v. screens. but the fiery orator with a lawyer or she,

a following rarely appeared in public. this roller was what it has been was binding members during his 3 decades. as a leader has ballade became one of the most powerful para military groups in the middle east. and those role and made is a real cause. our jenna mean cementing hospitalized alliances with a ran and palestinian millage in groups including a mass. does, rolla was partnered with leading as well as war of attrition, against really forces occupying southern lebanon and leading to their pull out in 2000. that withdrawal turned him into a hero in the eyes of many of the arab world. and full, started influenced inside lab and on in 2006 has been lost on a 34 day war with is real to a stalemate, further adding to it as well as popularity. but during serious civil war, some of the error will criticize mr. wallace for helping prop up series.
