oleg siniguv, the head of the region, reported. russian troops also shelled the kherson region again. the administrative center of berislav was hit. a 72-year-old man received moderate injuries, the kherson regional military administration reported. two elderly women were wounded in yeluchania and in kherson near the church. they have minor injuries, they independently sought medical help. currently, according to the regional council in kherson. only 30% of the population remained. the minister of defense rustem umero visited the 93rd separate mechanized brigade in kholodny yar as part of the first, after the appointment of a trip to the front. discussed with her command the specifics of using drones. brigade commander pavlo palisa shared his experience of defeating the enemy with fpv drones. omirav, for his part, emphasized that the developments. of new technologies is one of

the priorities of the ministry of defense. rustem umirov also awarded the best soldiers with state awards and awards of the ministry, presented the award weapon and personally thanked. israel officially introduced the so-called fortieth point alef, which means the introduction of a state of war. it was last installed in 1973 during the doomsday war. what will change in the lives of israelis? we will ask our correspondent ulyana dryuchkova, who is currently in the central part of the country, not far from tel aviv. ulyana, i congratulate you and i am waiting for details from you. good evening, in fact, with probably the official declaration of war in israel is not enough that changes this is primarily a green light for. in order for them all their work

that will be carried out, all their actions, now they have virtually unlimited, the ability to conduct military operations, military operations and do the work that they have to do in order to liberate the occupiers, not the occupiers, yes and captured, probably by terrorists, and completely clear this territory, and continue to conduct an attack , whether it will be on the ground, or whether it will still be air for the time being, as we see in the gas sector and the fight against terrorists, it will be them to decide, of course they will report to the government, but all the same they have a reduction in the amount of this decision-making bureaucracy and they have a lot of hands now, their hands are now untied, for ordinary citizens of israel not much is changing now, because in principle,

i'm standing right now in one of the liveliest and one of the main streets, we're 15 minutes from tel aviv, in fact, i just came back from tel aviv, and i have to say that the streets are actually empty right now, because the israelis, actually the part that is reservists, they actually fulfilled their will and the order of the israeli authorities and now, in fact, all of them have already returned, arrived at the bases, to their bases and continue to carry them out. tasks, and the israelis themselves, they are actually sitting at home, because there is no training today, grocery supermarkets, some are open, everything else is closed in principle, most jobs have been transferred to remote mode or do not work at all, that is, if they are shops or trade centers, they are simply closed now, people are sitting at home with their children, with their families, and actually waiting, how is it everything will happen. further, tell me, please,

will it be possible to carry out any evacuation of people from certain regions? evacuation of people, that's it. civilized, you can say so, yes, it took place, organized this morning, in the four-kilometer zone, near the gas sector, we are talking about those settlements where there may still be terrorists, where, taking into account the fact that tsagal is now tightening his has already pulled its forces to the gas sector as much as possible, accordingly, it is about the resettlement of people from these nearby areas points, and what concerns people from the southern territories, who in principle understand that now live under constant shelling, because if the central central part of israel lived in such relative silence today and this night, and there was no shelling, although they promised, again

well, at 6:00 tonight, hamas announced another surprise for the israelis, but for now we see quiet and we hope that this night will pass quietly, but still people who want to... leave the southern regions, they leave , many offers simply from of ordinary people who agree, who offer their housing, to accommodate people from the scum, also about the converted various banquet halls, various hostels, which also accept both in the north and in the center people from the south, people who are either affected or simply do not want to be in these shellings and in this situation, that is, they have the opportunity to find shelter here in the center or in the north. ulyana, i thank you, take care of yourself, and i want to remind you, it was our correspondent ulyana dryuchkova from israel, who , in fact, told what is currently there situation. meanwhile, ukrainian diplomats in israel searched for a ukrainian who disappeared in

the south of the country. according to the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs, oleg nikolenko, ukrainian diplomats helped a family leave the israeli city of ashkelon, and also found temporary ones. accommodation for two families against the backdrop of canceled flights. the ministry of foreign affairs also reports that two ukrainian citizens died in israel. israel is preparing to evacuate the population on the border with lebanon. the corresponding decision was made by the minister of defense joavland. this happened because of the threat of shelling by the terrorist organization hezbollah, which supports hamas. in the morning, the militants fired a large number of rockets and struck. israeli positions in the disputed area near the dutch heights. a massive rally in support of the palestinians was held in lebanon. earlier, the hezbollah organization said that it would intervene in the palestinian-israeli war if telyaev launched a ground operation against

palestine. and a video of the highway on which hamas militants were advancing in israel appeared on the internet. there are dozens of mutilated cars on the uzbica, their were shot at close range together with passengers, all this is very reminiscent of the zhytomyr highway, through which russian terrorists broke through to the capital in the spring of 2022. and even before the news from ukraine , the state bureau of investigation entered information about the events at the ternopil tsc into the unified registry for judicial investigations and opened criminal proceedings, due to a video showing how two military... employees beat men at the local tsc. at the same time, an official check is ongoing due to a video in which the military in ternopil forcibly put a man into a minibus. ternopil regional trade center stated that the situation is ambiguous and the conflict was provoked by the citizens themselves.

the book by volodymyr vakulenko, who died near kharkiv in 2022, was presented at the book forum . it consists of his memories and poems that he wrote in his diary, thoughts and observations from the beginning of the full-scale invasion and during the occupation of izyum. the participants of the presentation were the relatives and friends of volodymyr vakulenko, in particular one of them iryna novitska, a ukrainian poetess and ex- wife of the deceased. he knows how to notice details, and it was immediately clear that this is good material from the times of the occupation. not only this, but also good material for the human soul, which feels like it did during the occupation, because volodya is like that, the man he loved, experienced, well, he was worried about everything, he was a great soul and

many feelings were documented there, e- eh, documented pain for the kharkiv region, all rabbits, pigs and other animals were poisoned in the ecopark near kharkiv. this was reported by the owner of the park oleksandr feldman. according to him, the mass killing happened in the contact zone of the park, where the little ones were happy with the fluffy animals. the autopsy showed. that the animals were poisoned with arsenic. currently , the park administration has filed a police report. meanwhile, the first snow fell in ukraine. it snowed in the carpathians on mount pip ivan, where the former white elephant observatory is located. photos and videos were published on social networks. it started snowing at noon, and before that it was raining. in the morning there was fog on mount pipivan, the air temperature was 1° plus for the target. gusts of wind up to 8 m/s. i would like to point out that according to forecasts of forecasters

in most regions of ukraine from tomorrow cooling is expected. so tomorrow we will have monday, prepare warm things so that in the morning you can dress warmer and go to work. i am zherina koval, i say goodbye to you already until tomorrow, i wish you a quiet, peaceful evening, you can read more news on our website. tv, also subscribe to us in telegram and watch on youtube, and literally in a moment meet my colleague, vitaly portnikov, congratulations, friends, we continue our information broadcast on the espresso tv channel, and with you vitaly portnyka, for two hours we will talk with you about the current events of this week, these days, we will start with the main plot of the last days of the war, which began in

the middle east, began quite unexpectedly for many, and now we will understand what is happening, why this yes, it's happening, our guests on this broadcast are david handelman, an israeli military expert , hello, david, good day, and yevhen sova... to the knesset from the party, our house israel baitzenu, former vice-speaker of the knesset to israel, hello, yevgeny, yes , hello, well, actually, let's try to understand what is happening at the moment, what does the state of war declared by governments mean, how can the situation develop, let's start with you, well, the state of war is serious. announcement, because for the first time in many years, i think, in my opinion, the last time

such a thing was announced in the seventy-third year, well, tomorrow the commission of the committee on foreign affairs and defense will meet, i am also a member of this committee, i am a permanent member of the committee , but i'm there, i've been there for the last 2 years, actually tomorrow committee, this commission must approve these resolutions, it is clear that they will be approved, because it is important for both from an economic point of view, and for example, from the point of view of carrying out certain operations on the territory of israel, because at the moment when war is declared, then, accordingly, a slightly different jurisdiction for the actions of the security forces on the territory of the country, for example, it concerns detention, for example, it simplifies the procedure there, in order to predlevat detention in custody, well, this is more, of course, directed not to fight with gas , but to ensure... including in the arab sector, so as i understand it, at least

that's how i see this situation, i don't know how from the point of view of operatives things, how it affects and what hinders it, but let's listen tomorrow, i think that at this commission at least whoever is asking, and the government is asking, they should present their position, because it is important that the knesset deputies understand specifically, where we are going, what we are doing and how we are doing it, because there are so many incomprehensible things so many questions, very many questions on the topic of, uh, on the one hand, nutali, you know israeli politics well, there are always disputes constantly, but on the one hand, we said, not only we are in the opposition in india, but practically the entire opposition , except for the arab parties, we said that we do not have any political differences now, that is, we are united in full support of the actions, but today the leader of my party said that he is even ready, we are ready to join the government, if the government clearly announces its goals the destruction of the hamas organization, precisely as the organization of a terrorist organization in the gas sector, again, i can only

say that the government does not have any problems from the political point of view, that is, i can assume that any actions of the government will be supported, that is the government does not tie anyone's hands at the political level, you know how it sometimes happens - some political aspect is always taken into account, because in the end, sooner or later, this operation will end. but that's the policy politics, to think about the next day and how to stay in power, this is how it would be , i say this as a member of the knesset, but as a politician, then in this context i completely exclude political aspects, now the main thing is to calm the situation, now the main thing is to end what conducted by the army on the territory of israel, we still have battles there, and these are also separate questions for the army, then it can be assumed, i can say this with high confidence, that a commission will be created, a state commission of investigation, because there was no such thing in the history of the country, and they will check the failures of the army, they will check the failures of military intelligence, they will also ask difficult political questions, how did it

happen, because again i can't tell you much, but these questions have been raised for the past nine months. somehow you and i discussed on the air the legal reform that the coalition is trying to carry out, you even asked me how much it affects the situation in society, i told you then that it strongly affects the unity of the nation and the cohesion of the nation, and of course, this was perceived differently by our enemies, unfortunately we have enough enemies around us who misjudged the situation, they thought that israel is weak, that now it is possible to attack, no one will come to the reserve training, we will not be able to resist , and there will already be forces such as iran, which will already negotiate, well, i think that they were mistaken, at least, this is my position. david, tell me, but in general there is a sense, now they will find out how this could all have happened, later i remember very well that after the previous wars of israel, at first there was still a war, and then the commission, as they say , the sound is interrupted, i did not hear your question, i asked you if there is any point in discussing today

why this all happened , because after the previous wars of israel, we well remember that first the war was won, then a commission was created, and few people asked about the reasons for what was happening, in past wars, questions were also asked immediately, but the commission, most likely, will also be later, but it all depends that's how much will this operation last, what will it lead to, will it not lead to the escalation of the war and the transformation into what is called a multi-theater war in the israeli general staff, but most likely, based on the available experience, the questions are now being asked, actually, by the commission, most likely will be created not now, but later. here you are still for yourself, do you understand the reason, precisely the military reason for such a breakthrough, how could it happen at all? first of all, this is a failure of intelligence, that is, in two directions, first, it was not opened

the immediate preparation of hamas for the operation, despite the fact that there were many people involved, including command staff, all this had to be prepared and coordinated, the intelligence did not reveal it, secondly, there was an error in assessing the intentions of the enemy, after some trifles, let's say this, last week, including at the border , there was an intelligence assessment that hamas basically got what it apparently wanted, that is, economic preferences, more allowed for palestinians... working for a job in israel, the next tranche of qatari money went and other, that is, the intelligence assessment was that at this stage hamas got what it wanted, now it is not interested in escalation, that is, it is not going to go to war now, this intelligence assessment has already been followed, other operational decisions, for example,

there was no, the level of combat readiness was not raised, which is usually raised if once... warns that there is at least some movement on that side, if not really accurate information that an attack is being prepared, even the forces that were, after that, after after the breakthrough and the attack, including the control of the gas division on the base itself, the combat control of coordination was lost, even the forces that were there, there was no one to coordinate, no one was normal to command, simply many were already fighting in the plan, as far as they can see - eyes , where they see militants, there they collide with them, indeed, it is of course impossible to fight like this, it is not just that all these systems of combat management, distribution , force, etc. completely broken through, we already rushed further into the depths, into populated areas and

so on, that's all, since the first link was a failure of reconnaissance, and then it was like... like a domino, then one thing after another fell, that's why there was a slow reaction, slowly forces were transferred, the forces were not enough, and the fact that they were not properly coordinated, that is why such a sad result. yevgeny , here you are talking about the fact that your party can enter the government, in case, if, uh, a decision is made that the course of the cabinet is the destruction of the terrorist the hamas organization as such, but you and i can look at these things realistically, right? well, not even from a political point of view, from the point of view of military-technical capabilities, operations in the gas sector , in this dense agglomeration, we generally... literally in a few days, due to the number of victims, the number of destroyed,

the reaction of the arab world , the relations of the arab world with the united states, but it will take a long time to list everything, you know it better than i, how do you count on an operation that can destroy hamas as such? well, look, folks, first of all, what has been happening for the last two days, this is the second day in israel. this has not happened since the foundation, that is, even the old-timers who remember the doomsday war, they do not remember such a thing, so that we have 700 dead, and now the number continues to grow, and i see that there are still more than 150 people in hospitals defined as being in a critical condition , that is, it is possible to assume that the numbers will grow even more, although yesterday we said that at first it was 100-150, then we thought it would grow, that is, this is a colossal situation, so no one understands it, i think, even hamas himself does not yet understand at all what kind of success he has achieved, look, i want two words literally spoken by david, it is important to understand here, as if already the first checks are already taking place in the army, they are already trying to explain , how did it happen, a bunch of conspiracies, a bunch of fake news

, here they are starting to say on the networks that, for sure, someone brought in a soldier, these girls who are watching the cameras, the army is already starting to explain it through military correspondents, that last two weeks so hamas constantly carried out such, you know, training actions on the border that at some point simply let down vigilance , of course, this is a failure, i’m not, i’m not the army’s lawyer now, i’m saying that it’s a failure, but you here vopros, kak kak it happened, yes, in order to remove all these conspiracies, and then hamas itself shows these footage, where with the help of drones, they destroyed, in fact, these are, you know, electronic cabinets that are responsible for the internet, electricity, and huge screens, in front of which the girls are sitting military servicemen, military servicemen girls. and exactly at that very second, the massive shelling of the surrounding villages began, then the shelling of distant cities began, that is, there was already a wide operation, it was very simple at the moment when

the alarm began, most of the soldiers who were either sleeping, who were somewhere else there, well, it was in the morning, it was saturday, many people usually rest, they went to the bomb shelters, and in just a few minutes they broke through the first fence with heavy tenders, heavy equipment, and then they broke into the territory, there were so many questions, so many questions...we will sort out all these questions, i will say that the grenade commission during the war, after the doomsday war, was created in april, when the war finally ended , well, almost at the end of november seventy-third, between the end of the war and the creation of the grenade commission, there were also elections in israel, that is, elections in israel were then postponed, they were on january 1, 7th, so by the way, we have municipal elections on october 31 cities, now the ministry of internal affairs is trying to check, it might make sense to postpone the municipal elections there in 200. and regional councils, for example , the head of the sharav regional council, this is not far from gas, he died in a shootout with terrorists, he knew him very well, ofir lipshten, we were with him

the entire faction came, he told us how everything is done in order to attract young families to these villages, which are located 3-4 km from the gas station, there are children, education, in this area you can buy a big house for the price of a three-room apartment there somewhere in the suburbs you were there and were, no, it was attractive, many people came, many people came, everything that concerns the village adjacent to the sector, they developed at a very high pace, even the city of sdyrot, which is still going on, and you probably saw these shots, even in the city of izderot, despite the fact that the city is like that, you know, with a history there , a twenty-year history of shelling already after the iron dome was brought down and so on, nevertheless, the city is also developing into a city with a large college, and many families, young they came to vzderot as an alternative to expensive... housing in the center of the country or there in large cities, but now i have no answer to the question, now the situation is catastrophic, first of all, the army is now evacuating all residents, because the situation in which

the border is open and there are holes in this fence, it is impossible to return to the normal regime of life in the border villages today, until the fence is completed and closed hermetically and until the army is ready to carry out some kind of operation, so now the first thing is to evacuate the residents as much as possible. clearing all... militants who are still on the territory of israel , well, then it depends on political decisions, i say once again, there are a number of operational measures that, i don't want to voice on the air, we say it, and lieberman says it too others, and other opposition leaders say that, if tomorrow we are invited by a government with one simple proposal, let's think together about how to destroy the hamas regime, then i think that the government of such national unity, the government of an emergency regime, call however you like, it will be created and it... will show from a symbolic point of view that israel is not now at a crossroads, at a split, this is very important, it is important for hizballah to show, because hizballah is sitting on the fence there and thinks that to do, it is

important for iran, it is important to show. including for our partners, look, dear, we have been discussing the difficult relationship between israel and the usa for 9 months, look how it completely disappeared in two days, yes, that is, the speech of biden, who gave full support to israel, in understanding that the united states is the main ally and that it is impossible to swear , it is impossible to accuse all the time some statements of the ministers , which, thank god, we have not heard for the last day, but they simply forbade them to speak, that is, all these things - this here are the first conclusions... there was a situation that happened, yes, of course, i would like the price to be lower, yes, so that there would not be such a terrifying catastrophic price, but the first conclusions have already begun, if you ask me, god forbid , so that it goes on like this, then it is possible will return, somehow return to normal life, to normal realities , and then think about what to do with gas , this is the famous end, what to do with gas, so far no one has an answer to the question, even after the regime is destroyed hamas is in gaza, while no one knows what to do next

, because there was no... strategic meeting in the security cabinet, we know how for years, years, years, listen, i will allow myself to criticize the government here, although we said , now there is no policy, but it is impossible for years for a while they will leave hamas aside, fight against islamic jihad and adhere to two strategies, i would say, the first strategy is silence in response to silence, many said there will be silence from their side, there will be silence from our side, the second strategy, which, i do not i know how your tele will be understood, but the strategy is for hamas to be strong inside gaza, that is, for it to control as a sovereign, but weak outside, that is, for it to be weak and not have enough influence on the situation, including in judea and samaria on the west bank, as it is customary to say, yes in the international transcription, but for him to be strong inside, because inside is strong , it is always good when there is someone who is responsible for the situation, but it is like sitting on two chairs, here i am

i believe that the concept has failed, that is, the concept of silence in response to silence, it is irrelevant today in relation to hamas, hamas has shown its face, we already knew what hamas is, hamas is terrorists, nobody, you just said that the hamas regime will be destroyed or hamas, just answer, it's not the same, it's the same, the regime is the regime, hamas is hamas, hamas has penetrated the entire life of gaza, i will explain now, in september 2007 hamas controls the gaza sector, and in the first years it was you know the attitude towards the fact that the palestinian autonomy will suddenly return there now, that’s how it was in the first years, when the blockade regime was introduced, that is, it was not accepted even in certain negotiations with mediators, there with egypt and there with some others organizations, but years have passed, hamas has actually been controlling the gas sector for 16 years, years have passed and hamas - in fact , has become de facto sovereign in the gas sector, that is - as i have already said, the money that comes to

hamas there through qatar, israel actually allowed money to flow there, i am talking now about the netanyahu government, yes, it turned out that de facto israel, well , recognized hamas as the sovereign in gaza, even when some rocket flew out of gaza, immediately hamas said, no, it's not us, it's some salafi group, but that's it no less retaliatory strikes were inflicted on hamas, so today, today, no matter what, no one will agree to recognize hamas, so if we talk about the destruction of the hamas regime, it means that hamas cannot be... tem, well, how to say it correctly, tem a factor that will control the sector and that will impose conditions, including on israel or, for example, on the same palestinian autonomy, this is the goal, yes, that is, the goal, the goal of the hamas regime in the sense that hamas ceases to exist in that form, in which he it exists today, well david, tell me then, do you still believe that it is possible to carry out an operation to destroy the hamas regime, and in general the group itself, you don't even believe it, but how do you imagine yourself?

nothing will be presented here, an operational plan has been written on this topic, the name of which we will not announce here, there is a plan, there are planned forces and means, there are deadlines, it all depends on the political decision, if the government sets before the army the task of cleaning up the gas and liquidate the hamas regime, that's it it is possible, the deadlines are set, everything, everything that needs to be done, it is known that this is not the flight of the sun, it is quite possible to do it, everything depends precisely and only on yevgeny, on the political will of the government of israel, or how much the government has to do with this political will is the political will of the american administration relevant to israel? vital, let me still try a little here, well, i 'm not in a narrow office, yes, i don't know what was discussed, today you can't find it, tomorrow someone from your party will be there, well lieberman was a minister for many years, yes, look, i will allow it here.
