[000:00:00;00] the business date of the news, a line from bill that is route caused the death of his beloved lead to a historic turning point. as on natural laws coming in an abstract deals a heavy blow to the run back to know what's in court. sending shock waves through the middle east and beyond. this disease route carries out more strikes on the hezbollah targets across lab and on smartphones. a scene of the capital library from attacks on the south,

the city the method. anyhow, welcome to the program. as well as prime minister says he's nation has reached a historic turning point with the death of a bitter enemy and is riley a stride kills house on us for life. who lady has the most inquiry for 3 decades, is ready for plants struck its underground headquarters in the southern suburbs of the lebanese capital papers. living leveling rob apartment blocks in a densely populated area is below lighted consent the death of the man who built the court into one of israel's most formidable furs. the supreme leader of iran is bliss baccha, cold on most limbs around the world, to seek revenge. as a prime minister, benjamin netanyahu says these ro is determined to achieve its aims, including bringing home the hostages,

still held in gas. this is the baseline of citizens of israel to the. i mean, these are great days. and i hope, emotionally, we are as what appears to be a historic turning point, obviously, about a year ago on october 7th, our enemies attacked us some thought that is really was on the way to extinction a year laser blow after blow achievement. after achievement, they realize how far their hopes of faded israel is on the rise limits. 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. if cool. well, during spielman it speaks for these riley and military. we asked him earlier whether that strike was a proportionate response to the threat against these ro, from his by. 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 live in on, in 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 of his ball was darn spill. and then a spokesman for these riley military speaking to assume the well 10. the agreement is part of the deputy's team in jerusalem. she has more on israel's reaction to this role as this and the possibility of retaliation to well, these are, there's the main topics here that are being discussed and the media. and it's the

end of the week. and now they're more and more political reactions also coming in. of course, on the one hand, you have the operation itself. know, the more details now emerging and of how it was possible that is, well, basically, info trader, head the intelligence a to gets to a house on those rela himself. and the receipt over the past weeks is ro targeting a senior commanders in the succession of a steps against his spa. and basically, um, you know, it is a discussion, you know how that intelligence was being done, how the strike was carried out. and that's why there was an arch enemy of israel, you know, for over 30 years he was leading a, the organization. and we had also from a defense minister going to a saying that was responsible for thousands, for the killing of thousands of is varies, and foreign nationals of course is also what's not so much talked about maybe is

the human told at this massive strike on this underground facility and then when it happened, you don't know yet how many people were killed from those who are living in this densely populated area, the in da here. when the strike happened on friday night, that was the deputies tiny claim in jerusalem. well, you as president a board and it has led calls for a cease fire following the death of natural law. and these rouse bombing campaign against his beloved stronghold. spartan said, he's death from these while the strike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of americans, is riley's and live and a civilians. you're not a nice and secretary general, antonio gutierrez, says, gravely concerned by the dramatic escalation of offensive papers in the last 24 hours, and the german foreign minister and a lady to pay a box said there is a risk of de stabilizing the whole of lebanon and that is in no way in israel's

security interest, as laura blumenfeld is the middle east analyst biased in washington dc asked to earlier if this really is a turning point for israel as benjamin netanyahu claims? well, it's interesting, he called this operation to eliminate mass rela operation new order. and it is certainly his goal to reorder the middle east of the way he's seen it. you know, over the past decade or longer, iran has created a ring of fire around him with their proxies. and what he's trying to do is, is, you know, if not go to the head of the snake as he calls the supreme leader in the wrong. and certainly some of the, some of the tentacles that are reaching out from, from a ron. and by striking it and us rela, that's, that's a way you know, a long way toward guy cheating that goal. i also think he's sort of flexing at saudi arabia and showing that if he can ally align himself with saudi arabia and the moderate arab states, that would provide

a nice counterpoint and important counter wait to iran and its anti west anti israel and anti united states coalition, sorry, it took about the, the head of a spike, and it makes me think of this chain of command a situation we have now. what state is his block in right now with a slate a and many top command has gone? is it still in a position to organize and execute an attack on his route? i mean, that is the key question, you know, is rarely use intelligence officials who i've been hearing from has been talking about the chaos and disarray along along that his bottle of leadership. if there's any left at all the danger now, is it to arrest race toward the stockpiles that perhaps whoever is left there in command? um, well you don't have a kind of use it or lose that attitude toward those muscles which are and that is really population centers. and israel, on the other hand, is going to try to destroy them before they're deployed against them. that could escalate that could cause a really dangerous escalation where israel might feel like they need to move in.

and it kind of ground operation, whether it's limited or all out, which is exactly what the united states and other powers are trying to avoid. i think the 2 key concerns to the united states tonight are preventing and is really ground incursion and also preventing a ronnie and retaliation. that's where the whole thing could blow. and so we're talking about next news. what do you think is ralph next move will be? do you think that ground defensive is likely? i mean, i think a lot of it has to do with what sort of slides through the night skies over the next couple of days, you know, is telling the vendor threat or they are they firing weapons i, you know, missiles landed just short of jerusalem which is, you know, nearly on prison, unprecedented the who themes from the south present also a kind of threat. so i think it's a little bit of a wait and see. nathan, yahoo is feeling pretty good. now he's kind of reasserting himself. he took that 1st blow and october 7th,

and with this kind of tunneling of his follow over the last days and weeks, he can say, you know, with some confidence that israel is on top again, which was his goal yesterday is all declared that the idea of had defeated the military wing of her mouth down in gaza. those are all conditions which set the ground for a ceasefire, which is what the united states has been pursuing now for months since who are who is the leader of hamas can no longer rely on how scientists roll up and up and live in on to kind of help them out and kitchen with this kind of bring a fire salt in israel, which according to that time yahoo means that they could be closer to the hostage deal, which is the key to unlock the region toward peace. maurice spoke a little bit about what we think the us wants to abide and spike about enough for list this thing. a measure of justice and i have great, do you think the concern is in washington about what happens next as well? look at worst about that, you know,

measure of justice. there are people celebrating from syrians who felt like an escrow. i had supported by side under his crushing repression of, of syrian civilians. the hundreds of thousands of syrians were killed all the way to avoid us all raised where they're celebrating, because a jewish community center had been blown up by his ball forces, backed by around all the way back to 1994. so it is broad kind of international support, you know, no, not a lot of tiers being said for has on this role. that said, the united states has always been pushing for the diplomatic approach rather than military escalation. this is a fascinating test of it is rarely approach which is to escalate, you know, i to de escalate, kind of take everyone to the brink and there are a lot of white knuckles in washington and beyond tonight and see if you can actually bring you over the edge toward a better tomorrow. it's a big risk, but israel's back has been to the wall iran. so this is very short sighted. is ro, i would say,

when what you see right in front of your eyes is an eye elation which is what is real saw after october 7th. then you might take some sort of risks and take just short sighted approach, or blumenfeld allies in the region. and thank you so much for your time. i really appreciate it. thank you. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world recognition has begun to bring home to american astronaut stranded on the international space station. i space x rocket with 2 empty seats has blasted off from type connect for in florida, which will am sending blooms, missed they fly back because of space safety feed stage were 10 in february. you know, lucas, a catholic university in belgium has criticized pub process. started by his views on the women in society. stuff and students reacted after the pontiff spoke at the college process. also sized criticism from belgium's king and prime minister for
