of the, the, the lebanese house and ministry says 95 people have been killed in more than a 117, when did it is ready rates across the country. that's as loud explosions. ring out across the capital baby room. the board say is ready. tongues are rolling in 2 of those $1011.00 on beginning a ground operations. and washington confirm these are all informed of its intention to carry out a limited ground operation and elaborate on the part of us that doesn't appear to have promoted any efforts by the white house to reign of its allied. informing us

about a number of operations that they have uh at this time told us that those are limited operations focused on as the law infrastructure near the border, but we're in continuous conversation to them about it. the office is our team to national, reaching you from our new center with moscow. i a michael question. now, 95 people have been killed in more than a 171 day. the news ready rates across the 11 on that's according to the countries health ministry. and it comes as loud explosions had been heard across the capital baby room. now let's trust live to our tea correspondent. yes. and they can and are tease middle east bureau chief by option option i joining me right now. now, yes, and let me start with you here. you're in beverage right now. can you of they toss

on the latest developments tonight. the mike, it's good to see you. as it stands, the is really air force is continuing to carry out their rates against the liberties capital, particularly the southern district. but while we were in the capital, we heard explosions rock of the city. we understand that once a vibrant and i'm quite active, seeing of the lebanese capital is now essentially resembling nothing but a ghost town. and we're overlooking the city as we speak about an hour ago. there was an historically air strikes and these attacks are continue and you can still very vaguely see the plumes of smoke rising. and essentially here with a number of other people, there are members of the press, a lot of civilians where here essentially watching and they want to see how things unfold. but these error rates are getting a lot more violent as time goes by. we understand that the activity in the cells, of course, is a matter of concern, but israel continues to attract the capital,

which is one of the most significant updates over the course of the past week or 2 . since the early days when the is rarely, it's not intelligence and it's military carried up pedro attacks and targeting communication devices. but what we also understand at this point is the fact that there are a lot of people that have been space as a result of this conflict. we were in the south, we seem to seeing there's, there's very little to nothing and nobody there anymore. and many people have located to the capital pedro it's but people are essentially homeless and there are essentially one out of every 4 people that are living around this resistance according to the living, just 5 minutes. and that just because we're gonna stick with you, provided on monday, and we've seen that so you know, across the coastline where people have very little to no options to shelter themselves. but of course, there are a number of other concerning matters because we understand as there are reports suggesting that these really ground incursion has essentially started. there are videos. so essentially emerging on social media is suggesting that this rule is using white fos for a single step step. the use of white saucers is illegal under international law,

as well as other weapons treaties, treaties that israel is not a part of to as much as it's not a party to the i. c, c, or the i see joe or any kind of authority body that is actually monitors and regulated. so these kind of acts of violence and aggression against civilian populations. but of course times i'm going israel has been accused of using this band substance against civilian agricultural landscapes. but one more thing is of course we heard from $9.00 cost them the has a lot. deputy secretary general who essentially said that they are ready for a round incursion and they filed to come back to the is really aggression. despite the fact that the secretary general has the most of the law and much of it's, the lead command were destroyed or killed as part of his regular rates. that's just the way up say. what we're doing is the minimum as part of our ongoing battle. but we know that the work and belongs and options are open to us. we will confront any scenario and are prepared if these really forces decide to enter on land. the

resistance is ready for ground engagement level as it stands. and as we look on to the beta it's landscape, of course, we are waiting to see how things unfold. we have heard is really jets flying low enough to essentially cause panic and harm amongst the local civil can population. the areas that are being targeted essentially is to their territories and southern districts, paid with capital than many civilians or locals that were residing in those areas. were urged to leave their homes at no more than a half hour later is really bump started drops. so it's concerning, especially considering that living on has a great deal of issues and difficulties as it is. and then this added conflict, the displacements, economical factors, as well as a overland medical infrastructure. all profile, such all poses this strict difficulty for the people of living on as a whole is going to be interesting how things develop. all right, yes, and let me speak with you right here. it has been a reaction,

so i'm the regional blast the we've yet to see any kind of reaction or response from many major players, particularly those within the region. we have heard from jordan's for a minister who essentially says that the arrow bold once piece. he said that the arrow bold once piece, this is in line with statements coming from lebanese leadership, but according to the georgia uniform minister, israel does not want that. this is to the form minister of georgia the amount of damage that is what you, the government has done fit to use the edits to convince people that this is possible. this is very to governments give that to the amount of dehumanization hatred, bitterness which take generations to navigate to, to navigate so. so ultimately the question is, we want peace and we laid out a plan for a peace ask, i think, is really official. what is there a time for peace? you would get nothing because they'll only think of the 1st step. we're going to court, go destroyed guys, and planned to respond, destroy lebanon. and after that,

they have no plans. we have a plan, we have no partner for peace in his way. there is a fox and therefore peace. and donald of the that statement speaks louder than words because we understand that the motives of these re lease government is to ensure that it can establish a buffer zone to ensure that civilians can relocate to the north. that is the general sentiment. but another thing that is concerning is of course the is really government says that they are competing hezbollah. and on monday they have carried out strikes on sunday on sunday as well. they carry those strikes that were not affiliated with his beloved groups. so it seems that israel is expanding its operations, it's not just limiting its hezbollah targets, but one more thing that's also concerning is these really govern was criticized. and it's roadmap or it's game plan in gaza suggesting they had no end goal. and that the goal of eliminating come us was not necessarily an effective strategy. and it seems that these are where the government is implementing that same strategy here in lebanon. which really begs the question, to what extent?

because these are in the military going to be involved moving forward. all right, then thank to yes and no more. yeah, let me cross to you now. what do we know so far above these ready operation? hello to mike. well, they was an emergency meeting held earlier on monday and we now hear that israel's notary political cabinets has reportedly approve the next stage of the operation on the lebanese prone. however, i have to say and that's very important, say has be no official statement to comments. so far from the all the army or from the political leadership, we're, that is really minister is happen. instructed to refrain from commenting on developments. the last message on the idea of sufficient telegram channel was published late monday, and it was about the system area around the number of do sacraments located right at the border with lab and on. now declared to close the military zone with the entry prohibited, and that was a clear indication that something was coming up. but again,

there was no official confirmation about the actual invasion of ace real happening the other signs about of lumen incursion earlier to last week. we saw and found a significant number of is really tanks deployed at the board with level military presence has intensified in the frontier area with more checkpoints than usual and more military vehicles in personnel, on the roads and on the roads and in the area. additionally, earlier is really troops concluded a series of notary drills, simulating a home defensive in lab, and on the lease was made official with the army releasing steals and videos from the exercises. israel has also announced the mobilization of additional reservists and limited number, but still these were clearly not intended for gas and, but for a military emission in the north. so the operation was very much and dissipated. it didn't come as a surprise. and plus some western media reported early on monday, citing people familiar with the matter that is really special forces have already

carried out small res ink, to southern lab on gathering intelligence and probing ahead of a possible broke the ground in persian. these reports are very hard to verify um, but they made sense actually is really use a similar strategy. months ago, when the world away to the idea as a special announcement of a ground invasion and guys, instead, the army began conducting small, quiet, targeted operations that paved the way slowly for the full scale incursion. that's followed and some other media outlets or even reporting possible objective score. this potential operation to visual one, being the establishment of a security boss is zone in south and blah blah. but again, these were reports and these were signs and indications, but there was no any official information from the army. and so far we have to received a official comment on the ground operation. so we have to wait and see about murray

are staying with you. what about these roles may not lie the united states, the ground oppression come as a surprise to them to absolutely not as well as the has informed us that it is currently conducting limited operations targeting his bowl infrastructure in the of the board. this is what we heard from the state department. let's say, can listen. no. we haven't in conversations, they have been informing us about a number of operations. i know i've seen reports about a ground operations. we've had some conversations with them about that. they have uh at this time, told us that those are limited operations focused on as blog infrastructure near the border, but we're in continuous conversations with him about it. or washington also said that little one to the garage. * door operation to start, but actually continued providing military and diplomatic support and sponsor in

israel and the little extra to prevent the invasion earlier. you remember the u. s . c. u and some other countries pushed forward a ceasefire. a plan to ease the tensions between his bowl and each row. and initially we heard reports of israel had supported this idea. but then clarification came saying that israel was actually not on board. so they weren't conflicting messages from a bite and administration from these really governments as well. so it was not clear like what the position of the 2 countries actually are. but we understand that even if washington was not exactly approving this round operation, it didn't depend on washington, but it depend on what a prime minister netanyahu believes. and we heard from him as well as from these really military leadership that the ground operation is the best and only way for

uh, thousands and thousands, all of these really residents to come back to the homes in the north. the is, you know, a more than a 100000 people evacuated the since last october when his bola started exchanging fire with idea at the water up. and so for israel, the ground evasion is the best way and washington has nothing to do but to, to just accepted the we to confirm that i have to say that we heard white house earlier. also saying that they understand strategic purpose of idea of operation in the lab and on and recognize israel's right to self defense, which sounds like approval off the ground operation. despite previous concerns of voice by washington. many of the countries have called for israel to stop with makia being and one of the loudest and to their comments are m on the fiercest. here's the president. let's say coalition. we have intensified our diplomatic

efforts to stop is real. our foreign minister, head of national intelligence and other officials, are engaging in intensive context. the international community can no longer remain silent in the face of israeli banditry, which is igniting the entire region. if the un security council does not demonstrate the necessary will, then the general assembly has the authority to recommend the use of force against israel, and these powers must be urgently activated. again we receive right now, numerous reports and we have been receiving before several signs and indications. and we heard that from the us state department, the israel has basically started as a ground invasion into lab and on. but so far there has been no official confirmation from these really are we so we have to wait and see back to you. all

right, we have to leave you here. now, how are up and also the r t mid leads bureau chief. thank you so much. in the yes, and i can thank you also for joining us and stay safe now let's trust live to freelance journalist and lawyer, dimitri last curry. joining me right now. do me 3. i'm glad to have you enjoyed me . now muscles were reportedly fired after us military base near baghdad airport. does this spot of escalation of impose risks for american servicemen in the region? absolutely, they do. uh, the iraqi resistance, in fact, has escalated significantly. it's firing of drones and missiles on israel itself during the past, uh 72 hours since the killing of the mass murder of lebanese civilians and baby roots on friday. it has the capability to do far more than it hasn't been without the right. the assignment resistance and the rack and those military bases in uh,

any rack and elsewhere in the region are exposed to drone and massaro attacks. we've seen that the, the, the ready and forces have the ability to penetrate multiple layers of air defense, the surrounding israel. if they can do that and strike and important military base, and as real, as they did with ballistic missiles a couple of months ago, they can strike any american military base in the region. now the us has repeatedly said it's looking for a de escalation, but how does this claim play out? in reality, from your analysis? i believe it to be the complete and utter fraud. and frankly, it's an insult to our intelligence. the united states, uh, its support for israel is existing, truly important. israel is a tiny country, is gdc, it's population of the resources are in sufficient for it to exist. and that's correct. form without massive us for now is the nice states consider is that it has

incredibly important strategic interest in the regions. and so when is real engages in behavior that could result in a full blown war. and the severe attacks on his really military bases and possibly the destabilization of pro u. s. regions in the region. for example, the jordanian monarchy. it is beyond incredible that israel would do these things without the prior approval. and even the assistance of the united states, the united states could stop israel's behavior with a simple phone call and say, there will be no more munitions until you do engage in trudy escalation. it is not doing that. it in fact, is providing the means for israel to commit heinous attacks on the palestinian people and now the lebanese people. and therefore, the rational inference, the rational inference is that the united states, despite all of the rhetoric wants, is real to commit these facts of aggression. or i not again, just adding to that,

but you what do s claims that it's aid is intended for precision strikes? now, given the unprecedented despoil among civilians and 11 and so far, is this military support intended to minimize the casualties. the biggest level, the entire residential block and the route. i believe it was 6 apartment towers with dozens of us bunker buster bonds in order to keep this is one of the most densely populated parts of living on in order to kill one person. this is not a precision strike. this is mass murder, operating under the guise of a precision stripe. appreciate that precision strike results in you to know civilian casualties. when the ratio of civilian casualties to military casualties is hundreds of persons to one, that is the antithesis of a previous positions, right? all right, now giving the long track record of the united states activities in the mid least,

do we do these interventions or i so support. what does that leave in there? we can, you'll give us a picture of that. well i think it's uh, creating a tremendous amount of angry within the region i. i traveled across the west asia including to your back cutter jordan palestine itself living on a few months ago. i have been to so slipping on into the route, on 5 occasions in the past 18 months, 4 of them after october, 7th of last year. and on each occasion, i've seen escalating levels of a finger outrage with the behavior of israel, which everybody in the region believes is approved and supported in every imaginable respect for the us government. whether or not that is, in fact the case, i believe it is the case, but whether in fact it is the case, that is the perception. and so inevitably, this is going to result in a war unlike any of the region has ever seen. this is what we're heading towards. i've been predicting for months, i'm not alone. and this is what's going to explode into an unimaginable level of

violence. and that's precisely what we're now seeing because the united states is enabling, is real to do what it does or what, what kind of the big spend the job or fee of the conflict? is it able to sustain war on 3 fronts of the same time, gaza lebanon, and yemen? you know, it can't even defeat from us if we have, we have watch the absolute destruction of guys where the course of the year. and let's recall that guys is flat. okay, it's not mountainous there. no forest in which the fighters of the palestinian resistance can hide. and it has been laid waste. uh, you know, we, we were talking about amount of explosives that passes the atomic ball that the united states dropped upon hiroshima. and a mazda is still inflicting casualties on, is really ground forces and drugs. or sometimes they go into an area like con eunice, then they withdraw a mouse, returns they go back in, there is absolutely no indication that

a mazda is on the verge of being destroyed. why would anyone think that israel has the ability to be feasible, which forced its forces out of south live and on an accumulating retreat in 2006, which has far more combat capability than i'm us, which is not under siege? the way of mazda is forces are in garza, and which has a tremendous combat experience in the syrian war, which ultimately is along with its allies, one. this is beyond fantasy that israel is going to be able to permanently look. let's be clear here. if israel goes into south level and only temporarily removes hezbollah, but like commerce, they return after the withdrawal of israeli forces. israel has accomplished nothing . the settlers, the 10s of thousands of settlers who have left north and this will not return unless the removal of hezbollah from south of the maternity rivers permanent. and there's absolutely no reason to believe in the israel will be able to effect a permanent withdrawal. the principle of course is south of lieutenant river. all

right, now what sort of international reaction do you expect to see regarding another spot of ease ready escalation as well? i think we've been shown unequivocally that for western governments, the supporters of israel, there is no red line. there's absolutely no atrocity that is real can commit, which will cause the major western govern government. britain, france, germany, the united states, of course, canada and others to meaningfully reduce, let alone and their support for is or to. that's one reaction. i think we can count on continuing snow red line. the rest of the international community has, i think, seem very clearly what the true nature of western foreign policy is. all of the talk about the rules based order. all of the talk about international law. human rights is a complete fraud. that is obvious. i think 275 percent of humanity or more and whatever the outcome of this war will be. and it's not going to be favorable in my opinion, to israel for it's western bankers of the look,

the damage that has been done to the standing of the united states government. and it's so called allies in the west as permanent and irreparable. and talking about to monitor the most countries of the world have condemned what is going on. and i've called for the escalation and for, for ease real to stand down and return to negotiation. but what would it take to return to dialogue, negotiation and diplomacy? it is very simple, israel must be, must stop committing genocide and gas it. it's as simple as that. the next step beyond that that would bring about an immediate association of the violence in the northern border. his bullet has been saying this from day one. israel wants to have freedom to continue to evaluate the palestinian people. that's why we are seeing this far left and lifting on and on the northern border of israel. so once there has been an end to the genocide, then israel must permit ample humanitarian aid, unrestricted aid to come into gaza and allow the reconstruction of guys. and

finally, this will result in permanent peace. there either has to be a one state solution in which palestinians and as religions are equal citizens, or there has to be a viable, permanent hours didn't even stay given in the near future to the power steering people. which is precisely what the west has claimed. it is warranted all these decades, even as it allowed is real to build settlements in the west bank and flagrant violation of international law. so the path to peace and stability in the region is clear. the obstacle to pieces stability, the region is equally clear and that obstacle is the united states government. all right, we have to leave you here now. the meant for you last carries have freelance journalist and lawyer. thank you so much for your insight here. thank you. right now, the iranian president must have pets. this can, to has a key is the west, the fleeting to keep its promise to bring about the seas. $511.00 and gaza on the condition that to ron and re now is, is a military response towards ease well over the killing all the have mass. political

cheese is my o. m. e. a. he was assassinated by an explosive device planted in the guest house who was staying in in toronto. the claims of the leaders of the united states and european countries who promised to cease fire in exchange for the runs known response to the assassination of mazda honey. yeah, what completely false. i'm giving such criminals a chance will only encourage them to commit more crimes are now professor a political communication at the university of to ron for why these are these as a user all is aggressively testing. it runs red lines and not truly provoking the country patient. so indeed is a, has a limit and that there is a huge public opinion patients you need on. so i think sooner or later the patients that are on out whether it's this week or next week or the tomorrow, i don't know, i cannot tell you that. but they know that

a lot of people didn't even realize that the if these type of legal crimes, but is there any lead is it does not have any consequences for them if there is no pain but attacking the civilians in love or not. because that for that matter, then these type of crimes will continue and it may be cheese on eventually it's a slow the toes. a lots of people here think that the ladies need to be reminded that this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated. now with the ground invasion of lab, a non reported beyond the way one us, senator says that he will not support any constrains on age duties. well, mark kelley also admitted it was a us made bomb. the killed, the leader off has prolong,

as we continue to talk to them. i've seen some positive responses from them when i have specifically asked them to do things differently. here's, here's an example. i mean, the use of, uh, you know, guided munition with a mark 80 series bomb, you can hit a target for a reactor accurately if you're using naval gunfire, that doesn't work so well. i've had those discussions, we see more abuse of guided munitions, j dams. and weak, and we continue to provide those weapons that 2000 pound bomb that was used. that's a mark, 84 series bob. to take out those, those rolla that was a guided, i'm pretty confident that was a guided weapons. but despite us claims that it's 8 is intended for precision strikes, the reality 11 on tells a different story. the decimal has sort into the hundreds as anti 50 blocks have been reduced to drop on. the situation was mirrored in gather to flat. washington

profess the desire for peace, while simultaneously vetoing un, resolution is like hold for a cease fire bracket 11 on american off our souls passionately. as such, they have commitment to the escalation, even us, their weapons on these devastation on the ground. we certainly don't want to see any action taken that could lead to further escalation in the region. we meet at the time of high tension risk of escalation. the best answer is diplomacy. the u. s. remains intensely focused on di escalating tensions in the region. and so we will continue to push to try to calm tensions, to try to urge all parties to de escalate. working with the target homesafe. now see, we're in american john laces, tv, and see who i me believes that the us is not interested in peace in the middle east and any statements all the live a simply not true. as 1st of all that is rated show not show must be positive for

one year to be going to be one genocide after another when mastercraft and mother and they are taking and been doing nothing else picking the region to our original warranty. me. i just assess the need of a cheap you drop. ha ha ha. he wants to, bureau is working his best on getting your on into a region war. and that means getting the united states and all of that is coming out of the american taxpayer. so the united states, uh, actually uh, they are supporting what did you mean that, you know, has the, we buy mastercard every time he does a mastercard, they give him a price and they give him no missiles new a new weapons. they give him more. if somebody is the american tax fan, so it's the only way to stop israel is due for the americans to stop there. a to put pressure on is there, but it showed nothing positive, no positive points, no positive signs that they want a ceasefire. they just want to do work,

you need more massacres, more destruction in the region. and that is why the americans are supporting them. but in reality, to day the ladies, they don't want, as i said, will be they just one more and the americans are supporting that completely. that was these role as being the up in the states. and they'd stand off with that has the law, have the international community warning of the risk a full scale war in the middle east argues roman casara has been looking at the power levels with the 2611 and war. the latest escalation between israel and it has the law has become the deadly as the self since the 2006 war, a conflict that many fear could be repeating itself today. that war lasted from july 12th until august 14th just 34 days. and it was triggered by a cross border attack by hezbollah, which captured 2 is various.
