and so numerous questions that have remained on onset so many years. watch on it. see the close the limited operation, the gains has the law to get things 1011 on a correspondence of pulling the development. some of the folks we hear is really a to reward king because we are some to, to full, to kilometers away from the gold of with lab. and on i was just observing the night sky, what we perceive to be a flare that was eliminating the night sky. the lebanese health, when 3 says 95 people have been killed. the move in a 170 room. dayton is where any attacks most of the country. washington confirms is well informed visitor this intention to carry out limited

ground opperation in the level. however, that doesn't appear to have promoted any efforts find a warrant has to rein in it, ally. they have been informing us about a number of operations 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 the welcome to the new so no to international, just going 6 am local time here in most go plenty to bring you with specific coverage of the events as they were unfolding in the middle east, where the tensions are really a boiling point. thank you for joining us. this our swell. israel has officially declared the quote limited operation in southern lebanon. let it's ange it's targeting has blah 11 east health industry says 95 people have been killed,

a move in a 170 wounded and is ready wades across the country on monday it comes as loud explosions were heard across the capital. failing to the root, otherwise, the velocity is going correspondence in both funds of the conflict. lebanon is rilen. earlier, i had the latest information from monkeys me, at least brewer chief maria, from ocean, and all the correspondent. yes, and i can 1st and foremost, the idea of has confirmed that it especially started its ground encouraging my colleagues, maria will provide further details in that respect. but based on that statement, we also understand that the incursion is currently limited to a specific scope,

as well as a specific geography, something that the idea of has been planning for months in preparation for this attack, we understand that the southern territories are now under constant bombardment aerial rates, as well as our temporary fire, is currently setting the landscape for that ground incursion. but meanwhile, in the capital is really our rates are also continuing. we have been listening to drones flying over the capital since early morning, and it's been consistent over the course of the past few days. there had been error rates, the suburbs of the, the southern parts of the capital have also been under fire and of the constant attack spart escalating in one form or the other. we understand over the course of the last 2 days, israel's targets have not been limited to has the law. they've been targeting other fractions within the group which have no specific a few. the ation with the organization, the organization, which the idea says is in it's specific scope and focus of operations moving forward. but we also know that there is video footage emerging on social media,

suggesting israel is using white fos source in the southern territories. israel has been accused of using white phosphorus over the course of the past year, especially, and similarly in an agricultural landscapes throughout the country. and this is alarming because it is banned under international law. and of course weapons treaties. trade is that israel is not a party to, as well as the i, c, c, the i, c, j, and very similar government thing or is our governing bodies which implements and enforce essentially humanitarian and international laws. but moving forward, there have been statements that have been provided from the group as the law. we understand these deputy secretary general mind caused some issue. the statement suggesting that they are ready for a round incursion. if israel decided to go ahead with it and they, they filed chickens new, their fight and resistance against is really aggression. this was 9 costs. and let's just into this one. 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 engaged with the developments just on monday alone suggests that there's been a great deal of initiative from the lebanese government as well. we understood, in the early hours the government started to deploy its military again in the southern territories, in an attempt to persuade has the law to take a more lenient stance, prevent its attacks. but in response to the prospect of the ground incursions, 11 east military withdrew from those territories, stating that any hostilities or any interactions with the is really forces will be combatants that are not affiliated with a government or military. so we do understand that the situation in and of itself is volatile, and it's going to be quite crucial to see how this develops and whether the prospect or the fear of a large scale war is on the table. yes, and i just want to ask though, in terms of the why the region has there been any reaction from the players in the

middle east? there has been some reaction from the lebanese governments, especially with respect to the deployment of its military in the south. we understand that the general stance of the lebanese government has been that of a neutral stance, but more so a stance in favor of peace and essentially standing against the war that has been the general sentiment. but we've also heard from jordan for administer, who says that the error of world once piece, where as israel is interested in furthering its agenda, essentially resulting in a protracted conflicts that could bring a great deal of chaos and destruction. not just to live in on, not limited to israel, but across the entire region, just as the 4 minister of jordan, the amount of damage that is what you, the government has done to use the essence to convince people that this is possible . this is very to governments can bit 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 mean, is there any efficient, what is there a time for peace? you would get nothing because they'll only think king of the 1st step. we get a cost going destroyed, guys. inflamed those bank, destroyed up. and then after that they have no plans. we have a plan, we have no partner for piecing is right. there is a partner for peace and donald. so the developments on other funds, not just limited to that of lebanon, suggests that israel is also carrying out a tax in syria targeting specific locations with an iraq, but government as well. so it's not just limited to that of lebanon, oregon is that the prospect of a regional war is that much more real than it was over the course of the past year . so many leaders have been quite vocal, especially in their condemnation against israel's approach to dealing with as the law. and the developments over the past few days and suggests that the scope of israel's military operations within the country could not be limited to hezbollah alone. and that the lives of civilians are also on the line. and israel does have

a track record of this regarding the safety of civilians when it comes to carrying out his campaigns and is eating military success. thanks for the update on the ground. ben favorite, that's head over to israel, now and speak to maria from ocean. maria, could you just tell us what we know about this is radio operations so far? cuz it doesn't seem to be particularly clear cuts in terms of not much information being officially concerned. well, a highly anticipated scenario has come through the idea of has just now confirmed that these really troops have begun. limits has localized and targeted raids against his ball in lab and on these really air force at a to or we are supporting the ground forces with precise strikes on all 3 targets in the area. so let's take a listen in accordance with the decision of the political echelon a few hours ago. the idea of the guns limited localized and targeted ground grades based on precise intelligence against hezbollah,

terrorist targets and infrastructure in southern lebanon. these targets are located in villages close to the border, compose an immediate threat to his railey communities in northern israel. well, i have to say it didn't come as a surprise at all. they happened multiple signs of a lumen. ground operation is really tags were deployed at the border some time ago . new tech points appeared all across northern israel and military presence was all in all friends. and additionally, is really troops recently completed. several military drills simulating the ground defensive and live on on with the army publicly and openly releasing visuals from the exercises. and you are in one of the visits to the troops in the north. the idea of chief of staff basically told these really military that the expense of strikes were part of preparations for a possible invasion. basically, confirming 8 was common ground operation was common. israel had also earlier called up additional reserves for admission in the north north gaza. so the operation was

widely anticipated. so media earlier i have reported a have suggested that the operation may a met establishing a security bass as though in southern lebanon. as you remember, e's real maintained its military presence in southern lebanon from 1982 until it's withdrawal in 2000. and a has been speculation about the armies willingness to return. nothing about it and the idea of official statements about the ground operation. maria, i just want to talk about is wells main le, hey, the us. we know that is where the officials spoke to the us. what did they say ahead of this ground invasion? well, it seems, says washington was very well aware of the latest developments, the u. s state department is concerned that israel had informed the us about its limited operations targeting his bowl and for structured either boulder. let's take

a listen. we have been in conversations they've 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 conversation to them about it earlier. washington made it clear a oppose. israel is a ground operation in lab and on. but as we remember, it was also against is really both on the ground and rough, densely populated southern city of gaza. and this position and declared pressure on israel changed nothing. the invasion eventually preceded hand, america continued providing military and diplomatic support to as well. they white house earlier said as they are concerned about potential escalation haine, the northern front between his bowl in israel. but they understand strategic purpose of idea of operations and lab one and recognize israel's rights to self

defense. the same mantra that washington has been using for months threshold as well. many other countries have called for israel to stop and they meant it to t. m is among the loudest with commons from the countries president. mr. ended on being probably the fiercest 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. israel has repeatedly said that it will continue. it's offensive against his ball until security in the north of israel is restore that until conditions aren't created to secure

a safe return off tens of thousands of northern advisories using all tools. well, now with troops on the ground and lab and on, let's wait to see what comes out of it. when i head back to be rude to. yeah, said way, guessing. i think i don't know if you heard the artillery 5, but we heard a master's report. but can you just tell us what's happening right now where you all please? yeah, well it was just like tomorrow is a report i was just observing the night sky. what we perceive to be a flare that was illuminating the night sky. and the reason why this caught our attention is because when the is really military provided the residents of the like you, the southern suburbs of the capitol available, there were flowers that were limiting to the sky right before an air strike essentially targeted. that said area. so it's all, it's, it's only a question of what if, or maybe a question of when, and the reason why we were very careful about is because we wants to make sure

that's what we were seeing was accurate. so it's really just a guessing game at this point to see what happens next. what we've been hearing from february to base to award winning journalist and political commentator life and the roof about a situation on the ground in the country. just now, as i'm waiting to get on here, it was a huge boom. it's a 3rd attack on the la here in the last uh, 15 minutes. it shows the windows here. i'm not even close to the by here i am in the hospital with the on the north part of a city. so you could see the terrorism that is, or a, these are conducting against specifically the civilians in hopes that the civilians . well, a, you know, put pressure on the political leadership to stop this war, and this is what terrorism is. specifically, it is about a terrorizing

a population to get you to a political aims. and these are you, these are not going to get it has will law has something announcement that had they had engaged a is really force that was moving and one of the colonies in the north of palestine and actually a score direct hits on them. so they're up until now is really is, are just combining the front fine villages with a, you know, tanks, uh, auxilary and the white phosphorus. well it's acting with such confidence because you have a vegetable for an in, for, and the sea and the mobiles. the candidates that are running for the elections in the united states have given the green light for, to not sending out to do whatever he wants to pop. and so a coming of a new president in january 20th next year. so from now till january. and that's a now is not only allowed to do whatever he wants to,

but it seems that the establishment into an ad space handed over the american army to be under his command, given that there is no in per really that's can to mind this army. so this is where, where we at and in terms of his will, are they on the, on the back foot as well as waiting. i eagerly for design is to cross the border line up. and so now what we have been seeing is the air superiority of the israeli military with all the nature behind it. and as we know from both in 2000 in 261982, these linus cannot fly by ground floor battle as even now we have evidence for a whole year that designed us military ground forces have not been able to defeat a popular militia, in

a extermination comp those 20 kilometers by 7 kilometers. it's been a year that her mos on the other for the city and fighters on the ground have been holding the is released to draw. so clearly if this really is ensure living on they will get, i would think and i think this is what is a not sending out. oh and the is really a lead once they want our thing. so that the united space and the west can come directly get involved in this grounds of invasion. and at that point, we will start be seeing this become into a bigger than the regional war. once the west gets involved directly, openly, everything that we hear about stay in, i space or other western countries trying to, uh, have minutes in, you know, ceasefire is actually just propaganda. the united states once that's in, you know, to come in the crimes that he's doing, they want him to act like a lunatic. so he can supposedly, you know,

do the job that they want and they wanted to get rid of the access for, for existence. because of their opposition to american who germany in the region, and israel is doing the service for them. this is actually the only purpose for the existence of israel is supposed to be a bludgeoning box. that's you beat a arabs with, let's our up and see is for, you know, this is what the united kingdom created. it's for. and this is what the united states is using it for now. and the israel is trying to prove that it's still useful for maps there in the white house. so this is where we see and clearly nothing is going to stop and that's in, you know, and design us call any from. could we thing more crimes except that rec punishment for those farms and syria, 3 civilians knowing over indeed all the israel launched a roku to tack on damascus. the country's defense ministry is reporting not. as

serena defense systems have been supp does a number of rockets and drones the strikes. the set has come from the golan heights . they are of course controlled fine as well. meanwhile at the un general assembly series topped it per month is accused western powers are facilitating is really war crimes against civilians. a deep that's a knuckle. does that. then what i've seen a lot of true intentions of the collective west had been revealed. these really occupation ongoing since 1967 there, genocide and crimes against humanity or vivid example of the collapse of the un and the security council, which cannot stop the racist occupation and ongoing aggression. i mean, in the united states did not allow the security council to fulfill its duty is to counter global threats to humanity in global security since october 7th. and the israeli occupation has ramped up its deadly terrorist crimes. israel must be held accountable for the war crimes it has been committing. the overt is really

aggression has spread to brotherly love, and on they attacked they root afflicting damage on the civilian population. when we get to what the occupation forces have committed a cowardly act, using tons of explosives to killed a has bull, a leader who wide us on us are all on israel is pushing the region towards a dangerous escalation on a shot. it's consequences are unpredictable. if he may, and may have a detrimental effect on the entire world, meaning nice out you while you're waiting in president, my suited pages can, has accused the west of failing to keep its promise to bring it by the safe spot in lebanon. i think also on the condition that around renounces a military response towards israel over the killing of the how much political chief ishmael, honey, he was assassinated by an explosive device that was planted in the guest house that he was staying at entered on 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, we're completely false. i'm giving such criminals

a chance will only encourage them to commit more crimes. well, professor political communication, not the university of care on fire, it is all the says is why it is aggressive lead testing. it runs red lines and actually provoking with, entre the patience of these on the lead is a, has the limits. and that is a huge public opinion patients you need on. so i think so literally says the patient is thrown out whether it's this week or next week was that 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 good crags, but it is what the lead is. it does not have any consequences for them if there is no pain. but attacking civilians in 119 lopez. that for that

matter, then these type of crimes will continue. and if maybe cheese on everything should slow they toes. lots of people here think that the ladies need to be reminded that this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated. to on university professor said laura and mohammed mirandi believes it is rarely is underestimating has the law, it is really regime is wrong because they said they supported major victory by murdering and and through the march within. let's say it has done that, but they don't understand that has been let us not to it is not based upon the single person. hundreds of thousands of very star supporters and millions of supporters and let me know. so when is really what he meant to southern

peaceful work, to the advantage in that sense? drunk, they think that the one they will come in, but they will a very heavy price. i think people should not to the full buy is rarely propaganda . the western media as well as usual, repeat their up again and try to be more alliance. the resistance, hezbollah will defeat this raving machine, be defeated them in 2006 has for the today is much stronger than they were before. they have thousands of kilometers of tunnels across the south and central part of 11 on and parts of the north as well. they've major military base is underground miss out bases and other capabilities united states and europeans will never allow that, but not to be strong. it doesn't even have a surface to air defense capabilities. the americans hold to allow that they don't

have a maybe they don't have any air force. it's not of israel. there's really machines . majors must be subordinate and some of the serbians. that's what the west wants. we want this apartments history here to control the region that are ultimately ultimately lead to further expansionism is resisting hardware use. because if, as a principal, the policy and people are equally human beings, their indigenous population and they must have been provided, some has come up for over a year, has been fighting against as well to protect, to draw. we choose to for help protect the people of casa, and another objective is that there's re received, succeeds in accurately causing slaughtering and massive kinds of policy and populations. the neighbors on that as well. ali was a political conversation time. this contributes to fully monitor boards,

autism like quotes a more of the situation in bailey. now, he says it is, well, doesn't all think give, has for a lot any time to recruit off the assassinating. it's the house on this at all. i was talking about a city which was also subject to some city bombardments, even yesterday i sub of in western bayard was struck, which is not often struck. in fact, i don't think it's ever been subject to such as write a file. so as i said, there is a state of concern in the capital as to where the situation appears to be headed. but so i'm, i think that these really uh, ground operation that shouldn't come as a surprise. i think that because randy's feel that the momentum is on this side given the how they did the chief, these very big tactical achievements, the association for us on the some of them even more than the pages that the nation

is. the association of the senior lead come ad, there's like a brought him off here and his comrades and clearly he's real season events in the east side. and then now is the time if they have a lot of time now is the time to go ahead and do this with this ground operation, particularly before, as the law can pick itself off. and i think that the strategy was just very clearly articulated by the is really a drug treatment stuff. how did see how easy? when he said, i think it was off for the sedation upside us in a slot. we go, we're not going to give because below any time to breathe. so from that you can understand why do use where it is quickly went ahead with this operation. why do i, what does someone agree with what was said by professor me around the, about these various underestimate things? because the law i'm being in a state of the confidence, i think that indeed is the case. these ratings do appear to be a little bit confident that i think that the confidence could scale some critical,

hopefully to so many very, very dangerous. the, the questions 40 is whether it's sliding one day into the, the ground operation. that is weird because of the springs, florida history on how does the opposite hand as a conventional military when it comes to technological sophistication and we'll hear an espionage. but again, a groundwork will, i think there is where here's where it will face. it's supposed to be a test. all right, now, what are your feelings about how this will play out in the coming hours in days or what i think this is gonna be uh, why is the longest confrontation? i believe's the ground operation. i think that these writers might hope to come in and out to more than once. i think that the big issue we have to keep an eye on it is should, as of the law appear to be losing. how well, how the actors react when i say another actors on speaking about not just here on,

by the way. i'm speaking about the, i'm in the rock serious these all countries. whereas the law has a significant, very strong network of alliances. you have to remember that has the law as a kind of special status in the next excess of resistance went through. it was the only one capable of inflicting i. some people say it was a style of myself. people say was the faith, but at least it successfully stood off to these really military no of our boss before. so well, i guess is where i live because beloved did in 2006. so that gives us cuz the law especially stuff is that's number one. number 2 has below, has come to the height of many of these countries where the m and was fighting when the all sort of law. these were forcing brought them. so i can show you are a, b, a, n, d y, he and some other countries who was the 1st to come to the page who sent. but it's always explicitly what's because of the law when iraq was facing crisis,

new types of it, right? and certified his thoughts are possible uh, hold on really wrong. so i think that should the situation, the tier, right, actually these are all a p to be making some significant progress. i think it's very likely that these players will be kind of involved. and that's when you can possibly talk about a regional, even if even if you're wrong, doesn't get involved. so i think if these players themselves get involved, that could be enough for the region to where a job i didn't, has refused to give concrete chances. own is rosa operation in level of all the illuminating himself to noting for the need for a safe spot is another issue on the other side of the world in the middle east. it's our understanding or could this with that, i'm gonna stick with this. some people go ahead i well i just the fact that is what maybe now launching unlimited operation in the 11 on are you aware of that? are you comfortable with their plans were then you might know and i'm comfortable

with them stopping. appreciate have a ceasefire now he's been calling for it for months. how's that been going? it's only intensified. so it basically says no one's listening to particularly netanyahu, and then yeah, who now feels involved because he's now got an increased support. internally. he feels he's on this mostly on a mission to protect because people he believes, but in doing that, he wants to reclaim territory, some of which, which belong to other folks in other countries, in africa and, and, and he's edit that and then he begins to apply the, this biblical interpretation on what his mission is and that makes him very, very dangerous. and when you deify something like god is on our side type of a monitor, it gets it gets people to step in and, and, and they, they, they want to where they want to go.
