they're telling people to go north of the awali river, which is well away from the border, more than 50 kilometers the suggestion is that even though the israelis have made it he has declared many times that they want to drive hezbollah fighters north of the litani river the awali river is well north of that, we're basically talking about they want their gradually telling the inhabitants of a fourth of the landmass of lebanon to move north north of that awali river suggesting a possible repeat of the kind of mass displacement that we've seen so many times in gaza. the fear is that not only given the intensity of the bombing campaign, israel has been engaged in for the past as two weeks plus these mass display, but spent it definitely does smack of the gaza vacation of south lebanon alma ben wedeman in beirut. >> thank you so much. >> we're also following a lot on the campaign trail here in the united states, where minutes from now, donald trump will make his pitch to voters in battleground wisconsin, just one month out from the 2024 presidential election, we're live on the campaign t

the... to the north of litani, but now we hear them also talking about further areas going to the awali river, which is just adjacent or just on the edges of the city of seiden, and city of sydan is the gate of south lebanon, it is the first city after beirot where you begin where you go into south lebanon, and so now the israeli seem to be raising their ambitions, especially the assassination of sied hassanlah, so it's not clear what kind of steps they might take on the border. all right, thank you for that. let's bring... our guest uh for this uh stanislav uh batchev who's a political analyst uh joins us uh from bulgaria. thank you so much for being with us. we're just covering with our correspondenta the intense from the looks of it bombing that has taken place in bayrut. um my question to you first regarding that is the fact that when you have this happening from the israeli regime the way that they uh have described what they have done and by day i'm talking about the media so um casually is the fact that they are bombing strongholds of hezbollah, do you think that that's enough reason t

have been ordered to evacuate the residents from those villages, being told to go north of the al-awali river and which has effectively a quarter of lebanon's territory. further north. and they are being told not to kick until they are given the all-clear. so we have something like 1.2 million residents. we are being told by officials at this point that are displaced within the country. many have also left towards syria now they are largely from south lebanon. >> they have moved to the capital in some cases, hoping that would be safer, but they're also moving from the southern suburbs that hezbollah stronghold, which has really been pounded in recent days. they are staying wherever they can. we know that the sum has been staying in schools. the school well, year is has not started yet. that's being pushed back to november 2, understanding that normal life cannot go on at this point in in lebanon, but some are still sleeping on the streets, summer in parks trying to get humanitarian aid from the groups that are within lebanon. this point, we've heard from the israeli side though that these att

they've put out these warnings to around 125 villages telling the people to go north of the awali river, which is about 50 kilometers north of the border with israel. we're talking about an area that encompasses about 25% of lebanon's entire area. and so it does appear that even though until now the israelis have launched limited raids on, lebanese territory. we do know that they are reinforcing their forces on the northern border and the expectation is that sooner rather than later there will be a full full-scale israeli invasion of this south. and in preparation for that, clearly, they're telling everybody to get out of the area and it's been proceeded now for two weeks of intense bombings in the south, the worry is of course, that israel is going to do as many israeli officials have threatened in the past is to copy the example of beirut, a rather gaza and paste it onto lebanon i'll of course of course, we will see ben wedeman, please stay safe. obviously, there's a pretty significant explosion behind you that you that you showed us, jeremy, i want to bring you in here. because look,

told now 124 villages that civilians should leave those areas and they should go north of the al-awali river, which is effectively a quarter of lebanese territory is being told to evacuate so that they can focus on what they say is hamas operatives and hamas infrastructure in that particular area. now we know that the situation is becoming more dire for civilians within lebanon the official so toll at this point is about one 1.2 million lebanese have been displaced in large part from southern lebanon itself. but many of them have moved to the capital, believing it would be safer there. and we have seen increasing airstrikes suddenly in the southern suburbs as well. but people are staying in schools which are not opening for the new school year. they've just pushed that back to november 5, excuse me november 2 at this point, understanding that normal life cannot go on at this point. they are also sleeping on the streets in some cases, humanitarian aid groups are trying think to get food, water, and shelter to those who need it in the streets of lebanon. we're also seeing though coming the oth

there have been airstrikes north of bullet amani, south of the awali river. is that just going to be limited to air activity or is there going to be an effort to potentially move idf forces farther north which would break the pattern that we've seen over the last 40 years in which most of the combat was relegated to the latane. but for the in terms of the broader picture, even if israel does succeed and they may well in dismantling hezbollah's infrastructure the real oh objective will be preventing his blood or someone else from reconstituting that presence and that can only be achieved by the presence of a military force, whether it's the lebanese military and or unifil, the un peacekeeping body, or some type of political agreement that supported by the lebanese government that will keep other armed actors out of there. and there may be an opportunity to make progress and i think that's what the white house sees. i think that's what the israeli government telling president biden on. and we shouldn't be insensitive to the possibility that there could be some

push hezbollah, and most of its military infrastructure, north of the litani river, even perhaps further than that, toward the awali that there are no cross—border incursions by hezbollah forces, or that their high—trajectory weapons cannot, on a daily basis, essentially make life in northern israel intolerable. the problem, of course, is that without a major military intervention, and the capacity to prevent hezbollah�*s return, it seems to me it's highly unlikely that the military operation the israelis have in train will be able to accomplish either of those objectives. i mean it's hard to talk about diplomacy now, but it seems to me that if you really want a secure israeli—lebanese border, then you're going to have to figure out a way to do it diplomatically, first to identify the points of contention — there are a dozen along the israeli—lebanese land border. half of them have been resolved, but to resolve the others, and then of course to implement un security council resolution 1701, which brought to an end the summer war of 2006. we're a long way away from that, and i'm afraid that it's going to be increasi
