4 buildings were leveled killing several civilians and injuring at least 90. despite the human cost of the conflict is rose said that it had no choice but the target nestor law. the southern estrella was not just any terrorist and he was the central engine if it runs the axis of evil. when he and his people were the architects of the plan to destroy israel, and after that he was not only activated by iran many times he also activated iran . the woman was have left houses homeless, some of them displaced more than once. the moment we were sitting at home in safety and in today we heard that the airport road was bombed. when that bombing happens, my children started crying and holding on to us,

we were forced to leave our homes. we went out and we came here, you know, the whole israel's foaming of lebanon heightens fee is of an all out regional war in the middle east, especially with hezbollah, declaring that it will not back down us presidential boston has laid calls for cease by following the death of natural law, and israel is bombing campaign against hezbollah, strong hopes. but instead, his death from an is ready as strike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of americans is riley's, and they've been a civilians. united nation secretary general antonio gutierrez as gravely concerned by the dramatic escalation of a vincent by brute in the last 24 hours. and the german foreign minister, emulating available, said, there was a risk of d, stabilizing the whole of living on. and that is in no way in israel security

interest. laura blumenfeld is a middle list analyst based in washington, dc asked her if this really is the attorney point as well as benjamin netanyahu claims. it's interesting, he called this operation to eliminate natural, a operation new order. and it is certainly his goal to reorder the middle east of the way he's seen it. uh, 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 any 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 arabian, or 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. story and talk 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 belong in right now with its leader and many talk combined 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 the 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 it attitude toward those muscles which are and that is really population centers. and these are, 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 flies through the night skies over the next couple of days, you know, is telling the vendor threat or they are they firing weapons? i think, 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, will declare that the idea of had defeated the military wing of her mouth down in gaza, those are all conditions with septic around for a cease fire, 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 her son, us 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 a hostage deal, which is the key to unlock the region toward peace. maurice back 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

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. this is for allies, again projected calls for sci fi and live and on end piece paused for a ground invasion. its forces are also still funding in gaza many and now asking whether israel can sustain boys on 2 fronts is really airstrikes on that. i've been on hiring what it says or has bullet positions. as medicines continue to shower rockets into northern israel. they say in support of the palestinians and gaza when a gas or the nearly a year old war grinds on, with hundreds of israeli soldiers killed in action and tens of thousands of palestinians dead. israel aims to force hezbollah back across lebanon's blue, tiny river, creating
