citizens of israel and the, i mean these are great days. and i hope, emotionally, we are as what appears to be a historic turning point, obviously level a year ago on october 7th, our enemies attacked us and thought that israel was on the way to extinction a year laser blow after blow achievement. after achievement, they realize how far their hopes that they did before israel is on the rise and we are winning. we are determined to continue to strike us our enemies. truly return our residents to their homes and return all our hostages. cool and hot, defend kareem, l g o r is a journalist and be rude. he told us more about the aftermath of the hezbollah meters. death was at the time of the amazed silence that his bullet finally confirmed to the states that it see the house of most of all that is dead. the same statements, they were saying his spirit is id is really remain with us and they were the

mountains of good fight. this is to continue him, his promise to be of assistance, the victory. so n a to know there is no more statement for these photos. there is basic, also dates sit for his altogether quite his situation on the streets available. how are lebanese responding to no, sir, all us killing understanding, of course, there must be a diversity of views out there, which, i mean, i was on the street when the his, this was announced by his folder and that his supports us. i mean, i sold him a very good motions. they were starting to cry. some of them were sitting down in the streets and really, really seems of davis station. i'm on this when you look at the

political scene and of course it no more have statements on this, but this is paula allies, except that some of the christian alice of that he was talking about the great loss . and also it says, this is moses, and today i'll be live on in to stand by in this district our eh, they can't take upon me to same says just be the rather vague statement. seeing the danger is threatening us. then of course, you have also goals who are stupid to satisfied school, really thinking that this boys too much power is full is too strong, is a state of the states and that they are not saying this publicly. they're like really careful what they're saying. and just like an hour and a half ago, there was a group of who's going to support a c,

a passing by which the multisite is shooting into the air. kind of saying like, you know, we are your careful. don't you think of all think about it in the direction those who might be happy with this journalist cream l g o r e in bay route. thank you so much for joining us with major dorn spielman is a spokes person for the is really military. i asked him whether this strike was a proportionate response to the threat from hezbollah against israel. i think every one of these people that has died is awful. the civilians that have died 11 on and, and gaza. and these are real people with real families, real mothers, and fathers and children, and i get it every is really gets it, which is why. and october, 6th, or 7th before his bullet jack, no one initial even thought. if you would tell me a year later, we would be a war of 11 on where it was completely out of our minds. we were living within our

own borders. we haven't been in lebanon and 20 years, 24 years, and unfortunately, as well, a rig. so traffic on us that is very difficult to defy proportionality. but these are the commanders of a terror regime that have struck such terror across israel in the world. that according to our estimates that are for international law, reacted for international law and all the civilian casualties. and they are tragic are on the heads up as well. that was major during sheffield on a spokesman for the is really military reactions to the death of hezbollah. a leader has signed this trial a continue to come in, u. s. president joe biden said, quote, his debts from is really air strike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of americans, is rallies and lebanese civilians, united nations secretary general antonio good tad is said he is quote, gravely concerned by the dramatic escalation of events and they root in the last 24

hours, while german foreign minister on elena barrow box stated, quote, there is a risk of destabilizing the whole of love and on. and that is in no way in israel's security interest. you know, we chief international editor richard walker told us more about the statement issued by us president joe biden about the hezbollah leaders desk at the top of the statement. joe biden makes it pretty clear that of course there is no loft loss between united states and us on this raleigh. he says that he and his below our, i'm recording here from the statements that they were responsible for killing hundreds of americans over a full decade reign of tara. he said that his death row from that is where he strikes these as he puts it to a measure of justice for his many victims. but if you read this statement as a whole, you see joe biden trying to kind of square the circle about these difficulties in the relationship that we've just been hearing about earlier between the,

by the ministration and the nesting yahoo government. there's this sense that they really, they haven't been on the same page, in fact, to some extent pulling in opposite directions in recent weeks. and even in recent months, over the whole scope of this conflict. and if we look to earlier in the year, the united states in the un security council and finally put forwards um a resolution uh calling for a ceasefire in garza that has not yet transpired um and in, during the course of this week, just while these readies were preparing for this massive strike on a route and the americans were working with the french to try to bring in a 21 day c spy with his belong in the north. so there's a sense that the us and the israelis have simply not been on the same page. the americans have been pushing constantly for cease fires. they've been pushing for the escalations. whereas the israelis have been on opportunities to escalate.

seizing opportunities to take may take a strike as dramatic as these so very much tugging in different directions. joe biden, now in his statement, trying to kind of reconcile these things and say that while he supports these re lease and say he wants to provide more support towards the defense that the, the american stand strongly by these right, least at the same time as he says that ultimate aim is to de escalate the conflict . so trying to push ahead of 4 diplomatic solutions at this time now to the w cheese international editor, richard. walk it in washington speaking just now. as on us are all as death is a huge set back to hezbollah and raises questions about its future. the repercussions are still sinking in for the people of israel and 11 on a route. i mean, most cars become a focal point of grieving for his boldest supporters

and those role as decimal acts of domestic escalation. these roots conflict with has buller. i just sent a shockwave throughout level known as i'm as friendly as a father and a brother to us said he means everything to us. he's like a son. and a brother to me was so i wouldn't mess with the unloved alumni. soon after his bullet confirmed as well as death gunshots rang out and parts of the rooms and then another side morning. but it needs really a completely different reaction. the . this move on scene footage shows beach goers and these really read see city of the last cheering after the announcement. the another allah was dead of the on the

streets of israel, a mixture of relief and trepidation of what may happen next. i do not think that the assassination will end the war, but it will get us closer to our recognition in the air world that we're here to say and don't screw with us. it means more danger. birthday. i think a maybe it will end is a full good in day because we were suffering for years and years and then i think it may be a for 3 be will this will end on saturday. he's real. tell you the more air strikes on a route and here in southern lebanon, that's what it says are hezbollah target's a sure sign that is really conflict with his bullet is set to continue for now. to

alex spets, aka is with the middle east institute in washington. he explains what kind of response we can expect. now from iran, obviously they have tools in their, in their toolbox, in terms of miss 1000 drawings and so forth. and we saw some of that back in april when they did the attack, as well in retaliation for these really strike on the range and consummate in damascus. but overall, listening to accommodate the rating and supreme leader. i think they clearly feel like, you know, any kind of a major reaction, kinetic action against israel. my bringing me to that point that they have sought to avoid for so long, which is that regional or wherever it is, are all open, warm it israel from iran's point of view is o 5 in the united states. the us will back israel up the radians at least expect that to be the case. i think that's the reason why they're so reluctant, it's very important to remember. the run doesn't really say too much daylight between israel and the united states. so when they talk to talk, what they can do,

they're have to seriously think about, are they ready to fight the united states and they clearly are not. so for the time being has villa is without a leader now as well as death. as a massive blow to the ron back, the militia group he had lead since 1992. let's take a closer look at the legacy of the groups. long time liter hustler, the last video showing close on this rather young condemning israel's page. your attack on has blog members earlier this month and one of my most rollo was a familiar face on t. v. screens. but the fiery orator with a loyal shield following rarely appeared in public no smaller was one, it has but was bounding 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 of me is real because our agenda meets cementing

hospitalized alliances with a rand and palestinian millage in groups including home us. just raleigh was partnered with leading as well as war of attrition, against as 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 lebanon 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 syrian president bush, all of us following how much is october 7th terror attacks on israel has ballade begin firing. that is really positions along the northern part of its loveland, on which, as well acclaimed, would detract as really forces from the war against a mazda and gaza. but as has the last step up, its cross border attacks is real,

increasingly turned its attention to the enemy and its northern border. this is real sadness. rolla was eliminated as massive hair strike and has blessed headquarters in southern bay route. and you are up to date 9, melissa chance. thanks for watching the people in trucks engine trying to feed the city center the straight stream the around the world. more than 130000000 people of.
