of israel tacitly accepting culpability of victim because as you say, iran, those points of the israel, russia has pointed to israel. lebanon has pointed, that is, or just, but every state and the, at least took a, as points of that israel. and he's what has said nothing. so if you say nothing, then you are more or less a passively acknowledging that you are indeed responsible. what would assume that's of interest or it wasn't behind it than israel would be screaming at the top of its loans. the owner was how much it was as follow. it was iran, you know, you know, the use lifts in the subspace by the fact that this thing, nothing. that's implicitly acceptance of guilt. george, thank you so much, was making so as george saw me when he seemed a research fellow with the global policy institute, speaking to us from outside the home gary and be a say can be i see consulting past a company office in the past, which is being accused of making b, exploding pages. thank you, george. thank you very much. well, following be sure,
12:31 pm
king page or destination is based high one based company that owns the bronze announced it didn't produce the device, is a claims, a contract to them based in the capital of hunger a where we just showed you made them. but that in the business is also denied enforcement. so no official word from israel, which allegedly car it out. this sophisticated attack also mcneese bureau chief know we have some notion of product provided these details earlier today. a well over 24 hours since the pager explosions and lab on on still no official response from israel, despite to direct accusations from his beloved as well as the lebanese government israel, and has remained dead silence and haven't claimed responsibility for the attacks. the government press office, which typically sends out multiple updates to for and during this age day has been quiet on the, on his social media channels. there is coverage on the idea of the routine activities in dallas and how long the lebanese border in the countries knows what
12:32 pm
the pager bloss onto mentioned. and just recently, a new post appeared on prime minister's telegram channel where he expressed condolences for the daf. so for his really military personnel in guys on but as for the beepers no mention. meanwhile, the attention is slowly shifting from who is behind to how does this attack happen at oh, it was additionally considered as cyber warfare, as you remember, but now asperger's suggest the pagers were fitted with the remote play activated explosive devices. citing a senior 11 a security source and another unnamed source, reuters claims, but israel's foreign intelligence agency allegedly planned to the explosives inside 5000 pagers imported by his bulk of 5 months before tuesdays designations. these operations serious rachel, his goal of security. we have to say was months in preparation. the media says all eyes on our own gold, the poland, taiwan based company that has been
12:33 pm
a lot all the pages from the company. c o stated that the device is used in the lebanon bloss were manufactured by its sister company, located in hungary. we didn't design it, we didn't manufacturer it. the company just bought a license logo from us. it has nothing to do with me. well, in theory, explosives could have been placed inside the device, is often they were manufactured, or even after arriving in lab and on investigators, i'll consider all possibilities. but the manufacturer has been under a significant scrutiny. of course, in response to this on one to the pension, they hadn't gary and cabinets, stated that the company in question is private and has never received government orders. these roles, major ally in old times to pull to the u. s. keeps insisting it had no knowledge of the attacking lab on, on. we heard that previously from pen to go in and white house officials and now secretary of state blinking commenting, cairo, egypt has rates are rated that america neither knew about not participated in the
12:34 pm
operation. the pager explosions occurred just a day after the reading. president said tyrone might engage in direct talks with the us potentially if washington shows a practice that it is not the whole style towards the public, the potential reconciliation that israel is clearly not interested in the united states did not know about. uh, nor was it involved of these incidents and we're still gathering the information and gathering the facts. and we remain very clear about the importance of all parts . avoiding any steps that could further escalate the conflict that we're trying to resolve in gaza see spread to other friends. it's clearly not in the interest of anyone involved to see that happening. we're focused on getting this cease fire over the finish line. uh that would also, i think the material and some of the prospects of actually diffusing the situation
12:35 pm
in northern israel, in southern lebanon. it's imperative that everyone avoid taking steps that could further escalators for the consulate. us has long claims to be a peace maker in the region, but with little success as pensions have only worse and recently, and it was sent to times to help prevent and allow tour between tele even has bola . america's special ed boy visited israel on monday. but left empty handed, as is of defense minister, mister guidelines insisted, and military operation is necessary to safely return northern residents to their homes. some argue that america acts as a mediator, but with a clear bias toward one side and the runs fingerprints are all over. all the buildings are going on in this region, and around these to edit support for these proxies. they need to do it now, and we need to all work for the escalation of this conflict. get his parents of paramount importance right now. i don't know what you're talking america,
12:36 pm
secretary of defense. austin is expected and he's real next week. again unclear what will it change. meanwhile, his bola promises to retaliate with no clear indication of when exactly might happen, which leaves the situation. very tons. the army, these really armin says, no changes to the home phones commands directives, but we hear unconfirmed reports, but the idea has re deployed. it's a lead $98.00 division from the guys us trip to the northern command in preparation for a possible escalation. and we have to understand that, remember that if his bullet answers, israel will retaliate to this retaliation and that will put the entire region. and then do thousands of recently acquired pages were apparently booby traps by as well before they reached 11 on us. according to veteran will correspondence, elijah and not near. he's one of the guests and the latest episode of directing punts with rick sanchez on auntie. he's a tease of that conversation. this available info on our website in 2006,
12:37 pm
the only communication system that was not in deceptive body is really well the pager system that was used by hezbollah to communicate between all the militants and to give specific boulders, according to a list of numbers that equivalent to a sentence where they give orders, for example, to cease fire, or to fly had 10 or 20 to attach a records. so all these old as were given by numbers and that this will change on the regular basis. hm. that's what the best system that. ready is not deceptive by these rate. now what happened is that these phone pages did exist in has a lot of hand and they still functioning. but several months ago, hezbollah bought a new batch of pages, several thousands and a mother. and they have
12:38 pm
a sort of system charging and they don't need to buy it back free, but they can be re jobs, so old, very new. well, we understand from the sole source on the ground is that it was as a society sophisticated, emphasizing the engineer will be trapped, advise that was imbedded with an explosive width of page, or electronic circuit, showing them advice that the effect and the good and expertise. so what these really did, if they've sent the message and that is urgent and then it came as in the form of error, and then it goes vibrating. so people needed to take the badger in both hands. and this is why more than 300 people, not both ends tall, some people that i side other people around 9 died, but there are hundreds of people who had minor injuries. so often a specific examination by has been
12:39 pm
a lot to the remaining stages. they discovered within being done in a circuit, which means that in the manufacturing of the devices, these really bring into the manage to implement a small amount of explosive 3 to 5 grams. i'll say it's highly exclusive, the quantity, the. okay, less to get no updates from my team across the region. now starting with volunteers . yes. and i can is sound fully austin. what do we know so far about these latest attacks and give us more on the reaction across the region. things of the nikki, for starters, his bullet has issued a statement suggesting that this new wave of a tax is not going to go on punished. they say that they faced a new challenge. of course, how his beloved plans on dealing with the wave of attacks targeting electronical as
12:40 pm
well as communications device is going to be a matter of interest moving forward, particularly because after 24 hours after the 1st wave of the tax is belies, essentially suffered a very similar scenario, but the important thing here is of course to note that the only people that have been targeted are, of course, and not hezbollah members or, but the most importantly, that civilians have been caught in the crossfire. which really big the question just about, how did this real go about doing this? are so many theories out there, of course, the theory that there was a site supply chain attack is picking up the most traction. the church president reached out to the lebanese prime minister, expressing his sympathies, but also his condolence, and so those that were killed and injured as a result of these attacks. this was early on wednesday, moments before the 2nd wave of attacks page 11 on. but of course, what we're looking at right now is a different approach, or at least a difference in, in this kind of attack. because on tuesday, when the attack initially took place of the devices that were targeted were pages.
12:41 pm
but today were receiving reports suggesting that the devices also include radios, whether their home radios, the car vehicles, as like our videos, laptops fingerprint scanners, essentially anything with an electrical circuit board has also been effected as a result of this attack. and what we do know at this point, these rarely is of course, have been silence. and the general theory is that israel is quiet because of operational security. but then that also begs the question, then what is real planning moving forward? because we understand this type of warfare, this hybrid warfare uses a symmetrical methods to ensure that it carries out attacks against it's an amazing this case, that is hezbollah, but also does so in a strategic sense. we understand that to the tactic that is being used as being essentially issued for one very specific reason and that is to of course, border well lebanon's health system. this typically happens in advance of a larger campaign. of course, this would require months of planning. we understand that these rivers have been
12:42 pm
planning this for months, and just this past week they have decided and essentially agreed to include 11 on the southern border at least at southern territories as part of its a scope and it's vision moving forward. of course, what that's going to look like at this very moment is unclear, but the one thing that is clear is of course, as well that has about to react and retaliate against these attacks. we can expect is real to do the same. and this perpetual cycle will continue, which will, of course, lead to further unrest. and many leaders within the region suggests that there is this wave of violence that we cannot seem to get our heads around. we can't seem to walk away from these back and forth. and tit for tat the tax will continue unless something is done. this will lead into something much, much broader, which will put more wides that risk. thank you. yes and thank you let's so cross to use of july. now, joining goes from to ron, or use of our rates has already been high over the attacks in the wrong one more can you one, okay, and 11 on one more. can you tell us about the reaction that of
12:43 pm
course make a criticism is mounting and you're wrong with officials pointing fingers that is relevant that many labeled in the recent explosions as a waiting act of terrorism. president muscle position can also wait in today, placing much of the blame on the west. it was possible support for israel in a cabinet meeting. today. he describes the situation as a disgrace for as well as western allies, particularly the west, accusing them of abandoning their principles in favor of what he calls an inhumane agenda, which he sees as a prime example of a decline in humanity within the west. using tools normally meant to enhance the welfare of humans as a means of tara and destruction, against those whose views do not align with us is proof of the decline of humanity and of the dominance of savagery and criminality. this event once again showed that
12:44 pm
although the western states and americans claim they want to cease fire in practice, they offer full support for blind crimes killings and assassinations. are we running president task for us the, the urgent need for muslim nations to unite to guess what he termed on the ongoing atrocities committed by as well as long as response to the incident has been really swift, especially with eyes onto on following the a reset is that the nation or former, how much chief as might have the aid to run out of the country has also played a big role and of course, providing relief to those injured in the lebanese attack. in fact, if one was a month, the 1st to dispatch medical relief teams to live in on the one in red cross and has already arrived on the scene to assess victims. i know we've learned that the several injured individuals will be transported to iran for,
12:45 pm
for their medical care. later today we had hoped to report from i've been out by the airport to speak with some of those effected and getting a clear image of what happened in live in on. however, the red cross and informed us that due to security concerns, we cannot fill anything, anything there, of course, because many of the injured are reportedly as well. members of this incident has struck in nerve into one end of the rhetoric. rhetoric into one has increased significantly as we see different iranian officials are talking about a serious revenge. many are now asking the iranian government here, it's a wrong people are asking the are wanting government to not say idols in the face of the ongoing publications on the part of as well. especially when it comes to the fact that the, one of the iranian officials, they're wanting an investor to live in on most of our money. i was one of those who
12:46 pm
were affected by these many things that's about us. if we've been speaking to a correspondent johnson that can and is stumble on g facility in toronto, thanks jay bye to the west. most condemned and didn't investigate the deadly page of foaming attack on 11 on us. according to the russian and foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's, the higher of us, who gave us exclusive comments. that would weigh $3060.00 our this is a heinous act of terrorism. when this done perfectly well, that would subtractions they are trying to bring the region to a global confrontation, destruct children's civilians, women in order to stir a public sentiment and send the middle east on sly, so that it's all in flames. but there is another important point. this is a terrorist attack that's obviously could not have been carried out by suicide, the loaner, or just the suicide boma, or someone in this state of complete madness. this is a terrorist attack. bland was a cool hand,
12:47 pm
but an extensive like planned one all the signs of the open international terrorist attack. because it is obvious that in order to gather such a large amount of equipment, it has to be brought to in cross and several boulders. obviously, there is an international trail and this need should be investigated accordingly. now the reaction of the west should be indicative of even west remain silent. and as always does not insist on an investigation does not talk about human rights. there's not repeated throughout the week of many guys which they have used in similar cases. one service tax were committed on that territory. them. this will be proof of their di rex engagements. not as close live now to alley risk, a political commentator on contribute to the full i i monitor from they were 20. thanks for joining us on the park, on ali as good to see you today and you in they roots. of course at this do to tell us about your experience from yesterday's on today's a wave of explosions. um how is it being as well as yesterday was the
12:48 pm
major events. i see what like uh, these massive explosions as you know, thousands of casualties. uh, 12 people died today with the walkie talkies over the wireless radios, the incident was less severe. those flooding to the hospitals, the numbers were significantly less from what i found now off the monitoring the local media. we have 9 whose lives have been taken as a result of today's explosions. and i'm the one that i was a remains in about 100 of them may be slightly. so as i say, it appears that the yesterday was the bigger, more painful events. but i think it had a curious whether it be the events which took place or science. well, those which took place today. it's what we're seeing is clear sight, sub, and terrorism. big practice bias around. and this is, by the way,
12:49 pm
the 1st time in the world that any, uh, any entity or any, any state can result in such a not this. so i think this deserves to be highlighted. do you know, is this where it is clearly crossing quality red lines, as i said, nobody has that kind of helps such an attack before. and i think this whole so opens a very dangerous window. it would stay with like all the how cyber terrorism could become normalized as a result of what israel did against leveling on an i have to focus here. this was not only the victims were the only possible law as you saw. there was a young girl whose the, whose life was taking many, many votes and every 100 civilians, which makes it more and more even maybe we could even put it on your crime. possibly. so it deserves to be condemned. that is the same time use or dangerous precedent which could lead to restore the early formation assignments. absolutely, this is an incredibly sophisticated attack and both of the,
12:50 pm
the attacks and no one seems to know how it's been carried out as yet. if we all see a hybrid wolf, the add new, a new, what do you make of this new tax to account moral? is it that one? look i think that um the is really is you have to remember that uh these developments came off 30 is res. specified in your goals for the of all this new goal news, the return of the simplicity is ready. sectors were forced to flee as a result of the customer loss across the board of why are we talking about, you know, tens of thousands of surplus on monday because where they terminated my dentist on this as a new goal. and so what happened just the day off the, which was yesterday, we saw all of these big these big explosions the pages. and now we saw the explosions of the will control piece. so i think that this can be separated from that is really announcement of say thing, this new gold,
12:51 pm
what i took to the root of those suckers. now, i think the big question is, will of these attacks these explosions will be fulfilled? laura cheap that is rated goals. i personally have more dos. but i do think that this might to slightly improve benjamin up to the whose image. because we want to benjamin a clear who is reputation as being missed. the security was very much out there. and as a result of october 7 is also being increased by you even some of his domestic critics of the 2 week, i guess testable off. so i think part of the populations which took place over these past few days, the cyber terrorism operations. i am sorry, i think to may be employable. boost the host image of time at the same time. i think as i said, this is part of a here's phase. now in my humble opinion, i don't necessarily believe that this is a trailer to a white,
12:52 pm
conventional administrative and front page. and do you know, i think that these ladies prefer maybe not them, but uh, if the americans possibly would prefer that as well. sticks to these types of tactics. you know, security, we'll see cyber terrorism. not going into one whole house as conventional military confrontation, stickers that go simply be too dangerous to use world. i just also to generously dangerous for the americans who have been very beautiful in expressing their position for a full scale go on. the easiest lady for a lot of thing is a pointing at israel, which seems to be the most likely toll price, although no investigations have taken place. we don't know for sure, but no, it statements have been made. no official statements have been made from as well. and why the silence and the what do you think is, well will say when it does speak. well look here we think we are accustomed to use
12:53 pm
for you, we behave or were these ready to approach and some of the reasons in 2000 and i to has the last 4 of your senior around i. but when he was assessor i said in damascus, i think his rate is, will create a involved in that i don't. so will this very day as well as in clinic responsibilities. so on most of the occasions where this current types of security operations are every now israel does not declare, but it also does have denied its responsibility insight to say, i think we also think the israel is involved and why does it have to declare responsibility? you know, i want to speak, i can't get it clear, right? so that just appears to be these ready and modus operandi. but uh, as you can probably have to, as you've noticed, all of the major media outlets including american main streaming office have identified these readies as a corporate. a big question here remains how was below respond to this was, you know, in 2 consecutive days, these operations principles lead
12:54 pm
a site assessment. so it was set to with the water, the dissipated speech tomorrow at 5 o'clock local time for the clock in the afternoon. so we'll get to learn more about how it was the law who passively respond. i think it's inevitable that it will, it will respond. but so we have to see the scale with a result to which funding, for example, as far as cyber will say, well, will there be another precision miss all the time? like we saw recently, we have to wait and see. we know that the turkish president and so i mentioned that western consensus to the is really actions will lead to an even bigger dissolved. so we've had little of from the west in condemnation or pointing any fingers and how likely kentucky and other countries in the region be drilled into the conflict . when i think it's too late to talk about how the plane is being drawn into the conflict, to get the situation, stays as it is. this doesn't necessarily mean again,
12:55 pm
it doesn't necessarily mean that we have to a full scale with military conflagration between both sides or confrontation between both sides of that is possible. i'm not denying that stock, but it's still also a very possible that the situation will remain relatively contained. i think what we are witnessing now is a new phase of a security confrontation. so as a person we will stay with military confrontation. i think that mike, i think, is really, is more to do that. that probably isn't the size of us because in case of a full scale military compensation, many people have been wanting that has the laws ms. all the capabilities will impose a huge di lemme trudy's rates, so that might make the option of cyber. we'll see, or in this case again, i believe it cyber terrorism, that might make it a more attractive option because it gives, but i would believe that in this particular kind of welfare due to which technology equally advanced military and intelligence agencies of it might have the up i had
12:56 pm
the americans, i think we'll share this assessment the americans. as i said in a previous myself, i've been vocal, i guess the 1st day of war. i think they might be more approving of this kind of warfare and those codes i chose stuff as below no doubt. but at the same time, the elimination group has proven that it's capable of dealing with challenges. adapting to changes, we're going to hear more about that, but so i don't think you can uh, discount the possibility. the principle of done it. so does have significant to cyber capabilities, which we will search on disease ratings so that your husband has been full of surprises ever since. it's been found that so we have to wait and see what the liberties movement has in store. but his response on the risk many thanks for speaking to us today is really good to hear from you. we've been talking to ali with political commentary, so it contributes of alimony to from theories. thank you. i'll present post and as
12:57 pm
i'm speaking out of me, thing concerning the russian armed forces. let's listening and the fuel continued to discuss this during the levels of the commission. those meet on defense and yet i should however, we need to have a qualified judgment troop symbol. and as we operate then got to be moved to train people to build capacity on this. but in the union, we just pretty, i'm a, they've decent also found the efficiency of these weapons will depend year long as the qualification of the art stuff just always was quality of the military training . i'm just, we need to use every possible resources of the r as in relation for you in the was of which you happen to be face abilities and different ranges. and i'm talking except you're trading centers. we need to work together. you. lastly, if the shed jobs, i mean between the defense ministry tons, the regional authority, this will drill down to 2 of them. the less than those maybe should cause addition
12:58 pm
. we've had one regional authorities, i'm going to order on the to forget the me a bunch and limited me, train the troops each and stuff though, don't just they maybe 7, they are each see how they qualify. and we will get those done that applied to the new lead on the establish committee to district for own and the political and the the call to try to into some of the district. that's why you should decree to set up the new number of troops 300 and that will be able to see the different kind of legit slowly to come to me before. so this gives us a problem. the 1st of december 2024, and i'd like to move forward to mister bellow. since for our defense minister i was just listening to the russian president speaking there in st. petersburg. all right, moving on now, as several brooks events will be held on the sidelines of the summit. for the 1st
12:59 pm
for the 1st time, the indignation sharper from the women 20 grouping explains the importance of these emerging types. all right, moving on we have some breaking news for a port. at least 3 people have a portal. they've been killed and over 100 more injured in a new series of mobile device explosions across 11 on also ahead, the lebanese red cross reports responding to load full explosions in different areas around the country. some of the explosions happened up funerals for the victims of tuesdays that mass of pedro bombings. i killed at least 12 people, including 2 children and wounded. the 2800 more reports indicate the handheld radios were used by members of has the law as put is reported. they shows the
1:00 pm
aftermath of explosions on the streets and inside apartments are key corresponding yes, and i can, has more initial reports to suggest that the nature of this attack was similar to the previous one on tuesday. but it does have some differences and starting similarities. we understand that some of the devices that were targeted in this round of attacks where this wave does not just is not just limited to that of pages or 2 way radios, but it includes devices such as radios, whether they're at home, whether it's a home system, whether they're in the vehicles radios have been reported to have exploded as well . we understand that laptops as well, including fingerprint scanners that have been embedded in the homes of civilian. so the general understanding here is that this attack is a wide spread attack. the nature of this is becoming that much more confusing because the initial idea of that many had was that it was a chain supply attack. some did speculate that it was a cyber attack.
