it gets in beirut. the thing i've been very concerned about is an incursion into lebanon by the israeli defense forces. there already having some challenges in gaza and in the west bank and to have another front opening up with a massive amount of forces which we know israel has mobilized forces for the potential of going into lebanon. it's very concerning because it would certainly widen that war and bring other actors in so to me is as horrible as this may sound a limited strike by a drone is the best of possible outcomes right now to keep this from expanding into a wider conflict. >> and also the lebanese foreign minister general had been warning of a regional war if israel was to invade lebanon following that deadly attack at that very high bar, that certainly this does not come close to meeting nor does it exceed what what does that tell you well, again, you know, the word proportional is important, briana, you know that you've seen this before the other thing that's been happening in beirut, as th

in the south of beirut , the southern appearance of beirut, which is actually the southern edge of this city, was subjected to rain. israeli fighters in these few days, especially in the afternoon today , they made several flights in lebanon at low altitude and even near beirut , as if they were ready to carry out a terrorist operation. yes, what was the point that was targeted and lost? a targeted assassination has taken place, but whether this assassination was successful or not , we are still waiting to receive the latest information from lebanon. some media and even zionist networks, channel 13 of the zionist regime , published information about who was the target , but we are waiting to receive confirmation information. in this context, there is a point that now sources from lebanon inform that it seems that the target of one of the prominent people in hezbollah was from the area of ​​hezbollah's activities or not? an identification has been made. probably all the people who have traveled in lebanon or know beirut know that zahi south is bahash. south of beirut is a place where shi

the pictures you saw were the presence of the people of beirut in the place. the explosion that happened an hour ago and with the slogan of labik or hossein showed their reaction to the action of the zionist regime. do you have an additional point or do you know the victims? inside the media the zionists also have this, they are also following the scene with concern. if in one month, two failed assassinations targeting the second person of hamas, the second person of hezbollah , will be recorded for them. the zionists who claim that they are at least capable in this field and that they are the best point and the best feature of themselves know this. the issue is exactly after the storm, especially when their security credibility was questioned, as if this story has extended and is showing itself in other fields, especially when it was definitely decided to carry out the operation. the body made this decision with some equations . mr. taghbinia, you are connected with us . yes, we are at your service. the reactions that we have seen in the last hour from the of

if the israelis target beirut. again the defense minister in israel tonight saying that has blue cross a redline by targeting those civilians over the weekend and now the question is whether or not has a bullet will respond and make good on those threats. we should put all of this into context that the larger efforts by the americans to try to de-escalate the situation along the northern border. as we speak there are tens of thousands of israelis entirely displaced. they are living in hotels in cities like tel aviv and displaced from their homes and antitank guided missile attacks along the border and that continuous rocket fire being launched by hezbollah from southern lebanon. in addition to that you have the american efforts underway. a top advisor to president biden has been shuttling messages back and forth between washington and beirut trying to de-escalate the situation understanding there are no direct conversations taking place between hezbollah and the israelis. we should note here according to all of the

becky ben wedeman in beirut ben, thank you yeah. >> also joined from beirut by maha yahya, the director of the carnegie middle east center we the reigning national guard, is apparently going to come out with a statement anytime now. that's the big concern, isn't it? whether iran will directly respond to this attack on their territory? how concerned you about that? >> good morning and thank you for having me. i'm very concerned the khomeini just came out and said that this happened on iranian soil and therefore, we have a responsibility to respond. unlikely assassination of imad mughniyeh. this did happen until her on and so i am very concerned that iran is going to want to respond in a certain way that sends a message. however, i think they will think carefully about this knowing full well, that any kind of response is going to pull an american reaction. and it's not just about israel, it's also about the u.s. the last thing iran wants right now is to get into a direct conflict with the united states. at this point me ask you, is becky anderson out of london today couldn't get hi, good.

was given advanced notice of that strike in beirut the u.s.d presidential candidate, kamala harris, spoke about, i just want to play some sound what we know have the right to defend itself against terrorist organizations, which is exactly what has collided and all of that being said, we still must work on it. >> what do you think the u.s. will do to reduce tensions in the region right now well, it's probably going to send more naval vessels to the region, one to try and deter a reaction from hezbollah, but also positioned itself for any evacuation of citizens that might be required of something that goes wrong. clearly, it will be talking to the israelis to try and ratchet down tensions but we should pay one other thing in mind. >> this could be an israeli attack to try and break down the cohesion of his in advance of any potential israeli attack into southern lebanon in the future as well? >> now you make an interesting point that, that attack in beirut that killed the military leader, of course, came after in retaliation for the strike on a

we can go to beirut.d possibility this could lead to an escalation of hostilities between hezbollah and israel. again this morning, i am in the southern suburb of beirut that is a base for hezbollah. there is activity here. hezbollah said emergency services were still working through the rubble of the building that was hit by the israeli attack. they did not confirm that the senior commander fuad shukr was killed. the israelis said this was the target of this attack. they described it as a precise attack targeting the senior commander. they say he was killed. the israeli authorities say he was a right—hand man to the hezbollah leader. they said he was involved in the attack on saturday in the occupied golan heights. the israelis say this was in response to what happened on saturday. this could be seen as a major provocation by hezbollah because it is happening in a hezbollah stronghold in the lebanese capital of beirut. we believe it is the first time hezbollah has been hit in the capital here. i think th

aerial bombardment last night in beirut. the targeting of a building in which one of the commanders of the lebanese islamic resistance of hezbollah was located is not yet clear and hezbollah has not issued an official announcement in this regard, but mr. taqwinia, one of the important issues is that the support that having great powers from the zionist regime. over the past 75 years , the british regime has caused the zionist regime to kill and assassinate like a bayonet in the depths of islamic lands by forging this regime in the western region. asia, the context of the occupation of palestine as the first place of muslims and where the prophet. they go to ascension, and they went on, they forged the zionist regime, and after that, we see that the americans always supported that the last event in this regard was the successive handshakes that the members of the american congress did for the criminal netanyahu in the congress. protection. the spread of western powers, especially england and america , has caused the zionist r

the israeli army attacked beirut. according to preliminary data, three people were killed and 17 were injured, including six children. there are no russian citizens among them, this was clarified at the embassy. find out more from our correspondent in the region, alexander belibov. his target was the commander, who, according to israeli intelligence services, led the shelling of the dutch heights on saturday. let me remind you that as a result of a rocket falling on a football field in the village of majdalam shams , 12 children and teenagers were killed, this is what the ministry of defense said, again israel, with this act of theirs, and israel blames it on hazbala, the shiite-lebanese movement has crossed the red line, and today’s attack on beirut is a response to saturday’s attack on galan, it is known at the moment that the target was a residential building, it is now completely destroyed, but also suffered and... said that if israel launches, albeit limited, but still an attack on beirut or its environs, which,

gallant in so that the united states is concerned about a possible israeli military strike on beirutonse to the hezbollah attack because... that it could spin the situation out of control, could israel really strike beirut? well, if israel decides to escalate, then can hit, there are very fat targets there, there is a whole area of ​​these people, where this hezbollah is such a bullet from it, there was recently information that at the airport of beirut there were warehouses of weapons and ammunition, and there was a scandal for the whole of lebanon that lebanon. there christians and such mentioned this explosion of ball power, it is necessary, such others, well, don't be shy, they were indignant and if you remember, in the port of beirut, when half of beirut was destroyed there, they are afraid that something like this will happen again, if israel strikes at this weapon, there the other half of beirut can be demolished, but what about the politics of the united states, you see, they are everywhere trying to somehow keep the conflict within... some frameworks that they consider safe

in beirut, then in october 1983, 245 american troops were killed.can government has awarded $5 million for information about fuad shukr. and here’s the question: did flaad shukar die or not? some middle eastern press. citing strategic sources , he claims that the hezbollah commander managed to leave the shelled area in time, but however... rabia reports that fuad shukar died, his body was taken to one of the beirut hospitals, now the hospital is cordoned off by hezbollah military units. it is obvious that a strike of this kind cannot remain without consequences; some informed sources are already reporting a retaliatory strike, about drones launched from lebanese territory into israeli territory. however, this is not news, this kind of drones and rocket attacks are commonplace, since october last year, the sides have been exchanging numerous missile and air strikes every day. the whole question is whether the current escalation will develop into a full-scale war, it is obvious that the answer to we will be able to find out this question only after so

and surrounding beirut. in the lebanese territory, the kurdish bombings caused destruction and martyrdoms, which means that the zionist regime has designed its actions based on this issue, which has been following up on the issue of the attack on lebanon for the past two weeks. netanyahu went to the united states to get a permit and came up empty-handed the case came. unfortunately, a number of young people were martyred in the occupied two-day-stay area of ​​the golan heights, so that there is an excuse. tonight, this failed action, which could not achieve its goal based on the available information, showed that the zionist regime has suffered from strategic bombings, which it is forced to do in order to get out of it and to marginalize those conditions. do it and definitely, and surely this action of his will increase the hatred of the people of lebanon. and also the public opinion of the world will be at your service. thank you very much, mr. doctor thank you for your company , i will say goodbye, but mr.

let's go to beirut, mr. hosseini. hello again, give you the latest news based on the last statistic that i can confirm is that this airstrike by the zionist regime has left at least three martyrs and 15 wounded . and the purpose of that target was to target a high-ranking military official of hezbollah, seyed fouad shekar, what i can confirm now is that all the evidence and the qur'an that have reached us so far confirm that this news is true. no, this claim is not true and the great commander of hezbollah, who is a zionist, claimed that 99 of them are probably alive in this air attack, but i am waiting for the official statement of hezbollah. the government of lebanon is supposed to hold a meeting tomorrow morning after this attack by the zionist regime, and now the prime minister of the zionist regime, netanyahu, has gone to the headquarters of the ministry of war of this regime , and they are predicting that hezbollah will give a crushing response to this terrorist attack on the neighborhood. south zahiya, which is

. >> clearly a war with has below would be devastating for those in beirut more broadly across lebanon. but it would also be potentially devastating for israel as well. i was at the last war in 2006 that occurred mostly in the northern part of israel and little towns that dot the area along the border with rockets that reach as far south but now has below has more than 100,000 rockets mending of which are precision and could hit the heart of tel aviv, they could hit they get it south of jerusalem, some major military targets including the area where israel is rumored to keep its nuclear weapons, it could hit further on the red sea so war would be a terrible thing to see breakout. we will jump to something else here so we will get back to you as the developments warrant. concerns now growing it could be headed to a full-scale war. taking a look now at the left side of your screen and looking at the aftermath of an israeli air strike carried out hours ago in the southern suburbs of beirut, lebanon, they say they were targeting a has a blood commander who was behind a deadly attack that k

beirut?o, i didn't do that, as it were not commenting _ beirut? no, i didn't do that, as it were not commenting on - beirut? no, i didn't do that, as it were not commenting on that. beirut? no, i didn't do that, as it - were not commenting on that incident but we can comment on the number two of hezbollah, who was struck on yesterday evening that was eliminated. that is a good thing for humanity. there was a $5 million bounty on his head... can humanity. there was a $5 million bounty on his head...— humanity. there was a $5 million bounty on his head... can i now ask about this — bounty on his head... can i now ask about this point _ bounty on his head... can i now ask about this point attention _ bounty on his head... can i now ask about this point attention we - bounty on his head... can i now ask about this point attention we are i about this point attention we are right where we have hezbollah, whether iran, hamas, all these different front furious today and we can add qatar to that mix w

the idf carried out an airstrike on the southern suburbs of beirut. it is known that at least four missiles were fired at this part of the levan capital by idf aircraft. the blow hit a densely populated area, where houses literally stand close to each other. according to israeli representatives. whether, and if so, how hazbala will respond with its counterattack to this israeli strike, earlier, i recall, hazbala leader sheikh hassan nasrallah said that if israel undertakes, albeit limited, but still a strike on beirut or its environs, which actually happened this evening, then hezbollah will not leave this attack without its response and can launch a rocket or artillery strike on the northern cities of israel, on the same haifa, in any case. it's worth waiting for a while and see how the event will develop in the future, but i will add that the crisis in relations between hezbollah, lebanon as a matter of fact, tel aviv, which has increased sharply after saturday's attack, now risks putting the entire middle east on the threshold of a large-scale conf

the idf carried out an airstrike on the southern suburbs of beirut. it is known that at least four missiles were fired at this chastivan capital. air force planes hit a densely populated area where houses literally stand close to each other. according to representatives of the israeli defense department, his target was the commander, who, again, according to israeli intelligence services , led the shelling of the dutch heights on saturday. then, i remind you, as a result of the fall rockets hit a football field in the village of mashdalem shams, killing 12 children and teenagers. and so, as stated, again, in the israeli ministry of defense. with this act of his, and in israel it is hazbal who is blamed for it, the shaite-lebanese movement has crossed the red line, and today’s attack on beirut is a response to saturday’s attack on galana, it is known at the moment that the target was a residential building, it is now completely destroyed, but the local hospital was also damaged, which is directly adjacent to this building; this area is located at a con

israel's retaliation on tuesday struck a beirut suburb.were injured. lebanon's prime minister condemned the strike as a "criminal act", calling it a "clear and explicit violation of international law". israel's defence minster yoav gallant has said mr shukr "has the blood of many israelis on his hands". but the iran—backed group has denied responsibility for the golan heights attack. as the region braces for a larger—scale israeli retaliation grow, there are fears a serious escalation with hezbollah could dash hopes of a ceasefire in gaza. our correspondent quentin somerville sent this update from the scene of that beirut strike. israel's response came just before sunset — a drone attack, three strikes on a building in beirut�*s

but let's go to beirut.ior hezbollah commander, fuad shukr has been recovered from the rubble of the building which was hit by that air strike. tell us more about that and the political reaction in lebanon we were there when the body was found. a few hours before i received a message — a few hours before i received a message from my sources that his family— message from my sources that his family was— message from my sources that his family was informed hours before because _ family was informed hours before because they made sure the rescue and search— because they made sure the rescue and search team, they made sure he was dead _ and search team, they made sure he was dead. for hours they were trying to remove _ was dead. for hours they were trying to remove the rubble of the wrecked building _ to remove the rubble of the wrecked building and when they found it, everything went very tense and suddenly— everything went very tense and suddenly they shouted in all of the media, _ suddenly they shouted in all

but they were hitting in the beirut suburbs. this is very they were hitting clearly not just a military target. so this is an escalation, but it's in retaliation of course against this hideous alleged hezbollah strike according to the u.s. and the israelis that only hezbollah could have done this attack that killed 12 children on a soccer field on saturday afternoon. and they said they were going to retaliate. they had a national security meeting with the prime minister after he got back from washington on sunday. and they said they were going to hit hard. clearly what they did preliminary, chris, was not what we considered the robust response. so they were working on this. they had intelligence and may or may not have gotten this guy. he was the number two commander in hezbollah who was supposedly in charge of this attack on saturday. now, we should point out that hezbollah denied it but nobody believed that denial. the u.s., they had clear mind that the rockets used for hezbollah rockets. the iranian produced rockets. in terms

don't attack beirut. choose your targets carefully.likely? hezbolah will feel honour bound to respond because it was in southern beirut, does that make it even more explosive? we saw this earlier in the year and the same kind of phrase as tit—for—tat between iran and israel, unprecedented attacks, an unprecedented iranian attack on israel and i was there at the time. more than 300 cruise missiles, suicide drones, going into israel. then the big question, the same moment we are in now, what will the response be? at that moment what happened then was a very calculated response by israel which took the steam out of it. both sides could say they hit back and the tensions eased. we are at this moment again. this one, it is hard to measure but it is definitely dangerous, and you check on whatsapp as we all see, the parallel with the voices in capitals around the world including london saying to de—escalate and hezbolah right now must be deciding, what are we going to do? we right now must be deciding, what are we going to do?— we going to do

and apparently what happened a few minutes ago in beirut is israel’s very response for saturday's attackre now coming from the scene of the incident in the southern suburbs of beirut, it is known that it was not only the house that was targeted by the israel defense forces that was destroyed, but the entire block, the neighboring building, those videos, a few , which are still emerging from the scene, indicates that it is almost certain that this strike will result in deaths and injuries, as hazbalah leader sheikh hassan nasrola said the day before, if israel will still strike at lebanon, and even more so at beirut, which... perhaps its target will be cities in the north of the country like haifa, and other settlements on the same golan occupied by israel several decades ago, now it’s difficult to talk about about the scale of destruction that exists now. at the moment in beirut, and in general it’s difficult to predict how the situation will further develop in the middle east, because the crisis in relations between israel and hazbal, especially recently, has become sharply heated, and

the israeli army attacked beirut, according to preliminary data. saturday by shelling of the dutch heights. then , again, i led the israeli intelligence services. his target was the commander, who, according to this, let me remind you, as a result of a rocket falling on a football field in the village of machdalyam shams, 12 children and teenagers were killed. and so, as the israeli ministry of defense stated, again, with this act of theirs, it is hazbala, the shaite-lebanese movement, that is blamed for it in israel. crossed the red line and today's blow to beirut is response to the saturday attack on galany, it is known at the moment that the target was a residential building, it is now completely destroyed, but the local hospital, which is directly adjacent to this building, was also damaged, this area is located at a considerable distance from russian equipment, data on the victims no russian citizens were reported during the air attack; we are in close contact with local authorities. limited, but still a strike on beirut or its environs, which

he is in beirut live for us ben. this was nonetheless a significant escalation, but this news coming that they did not kill their intended target yes. >> i was on the phone with a senior lebanese government official who told me that for odd sugar, the alleged target this attack survived, that he was not killed in this israeli strike that happened about two hours, just over two hours ago, just before for 8:00 p.m. local time in the southern suburbs of beirut in the heart of headache neighborhood, which is an area where it's known that many of his book well as leaders live and operate. now in the aftermath, we've seen that the building that was struck about five stories of that building, part were destroyed. we understand from the lebanese national news agency, the official news agency that at least one woman was killed killed, and several other people were injured now, this attack is not a complete surprise in the sense that since saturday and that did deadly missile strike on the israeli occupied syrian golan heights

can israel really strike beirut?l, if israel decides to escalate, it can strike, it's very fat there. there is a whole area of ​​these shiites in sicily, where is hezbollah, it has such a kubul, there was recently information that there was a warehouse of weapons and ammunition at the airport in beirut, and there was enough for the whole of lebanon the scandal that the lebanese there are christians and so-and-so others, well, not shiites, they were indignant and remembered this explosion of ball saltpetre, if you remember, in the port of beirut, when half of beirut was destroyed there, they. fears that something like this will happen again, if israel strikes this weapon, the other half of beirut can be demolished. well, what about the politics of the united states, you see, they are everywhere trying to somehow keep the conflict within some framework that they consider safe for themselves. and the same in ukraine and in israel, so let's go but we keep within such a framework, at least until the elections, and then we
