hezbollah.s said that it will make things safer some 60,000 residents of northern israel who have been evacuated from their homes from the most a year now because of the most a year now because of the fighting that has taken place since the start of the war in gaza and the daily exchanges of fire between israel and hezbollah. exchanges of fire between israeland hezbollah. in exchanges of fire between israel and hezbollah. in order to make it safe for those people, it says it has to push people, it says it has to push people away from the border and investigate any tunnels that may be in that area because it feels like it could be an october the 7th style attack. it is for hezbollah to be face to the north of the river, about 30 kilometres away from the border. israel wants to have that buffer zone in place. we will talk a little bit more about what is happening in lebanon injust a about what is happening in lebanon in just a second, about what is happening in lebanon injust a second, but how is

israel doesn't only have hezbollah to contend with. we come on, air missiles from iran _ have been fired towards israel. 0n the 1st of october, the region held its breath. tonight's escalation comes in| response to israel's overnight invasion of southern lebanon. aalmost 200 ballistic missiles were launched by iran. the israeli defense forces said most were intercepted by israel's extensive defensive capabilities. but the idf said some struck central and southern israel, with one fatality. there was a lot of booms. one of them, it was terrible. when we came out, i saw all the destruction. what's happening. we're happy we're still alive. the attack was widely condemned by the west, who called for restraint and de—escalation. but both israel and iran show no sign of backing down. the middle east is still reeling from the hamas attacks on october 7 last year. the horror of the last 12 months has been compounded in recent days. by heightened tensions and escalations, which have spread across the region with devastating consequences. the re

what have we heard from hezbollah?— what have we heard from hezbollah? , ., , ~ hezbollah?ey are striking back by attacking some - hezbollah? they are striking i back by attacking some israeli cities, we heard missiles were launched into several towns. sirens were heard in cities, also sirens and maybe explosions also in tel aviv, so what hezbollah is doing is continuing launching missiles into israel, proving that however israel managed to enter to do this land limited incursion into lebanon, they still filed back into israeli cities which is giving the israeli is an indication they need to do more. in israeli is an indication they need to do more.- israeli is an indication they need to do more. in terms of doinu need to do more. in terms of doing more. _ need to do more. in terms of doing more, the _ need to do more. in terms of doing more, the pressure - doing more, the pressure continues to come from israel's strongest ally, the united states, there was a meeting with the defence ministers, the gallant and austin powell, what do we know about what was discussed? it do w

this is a war against hezbollah or against lebanon. i believe it is against lebanon, otherwise they would have stopped fighting after the assassination of hassan nasrallah. but now israel is destroying the infrastructure. will not be able to return there, this creates even if we cease fire right now, people a huge number of socio-economic problems. i doubt that the government knows what to do with them. all that people see now is misfortune and destruction, they only want peace and quiet, because everything that has happened since september 17, the terrorist attacks with pagers, it's a nightmare. and at night, for example, we did not sleep until 4 am, the constant roar of combat aircraft, which is hitting the beret too, for the first time they are striking specific targets or people, as they say, but i can tell you responsibly that most of the targets civilians, the task that israel sets itself is, if not the destruction, then the radical suppression of hezbollah, which is not just the largest paramilitary organization in the region, b

the authority of lebanon belongs to hezbollah, as one of the most important indicators of hezbollah is the support of the resistance front. this arena appeared, but this is one of those cases it is possible to prove this component in the case that the people of palestine are the people of lebanon and the people of iraq. the people of yemen and the people of iran are a very united front, which covers 8 million kilometers, and these people are people who all support hezbollah, and hezbollah will support this group whenever this front is attacked. kurds today, if we are witnesses that mr. araghchi, our respected foreign minister, is in this war and this barbarian. the zionist regime enters the lebanese with power and authority and is present there , this is an encouragement and a strength and a the point of commonality is the intimacy that exists between us and the hezbollah front and the resistance, and we are not separate from them, and they are also a part of us, and when we feel that this encouragement is given to hezbollah, the iranian people feel encouragement in themselves. let the

is against hezbollah.lding on the operations. we think that israel will do the same as it did in gaza, where they are occupying it very narrow buffer zone, and operating from this buffer zone with operations inside gaza that can last for a few days or a few weeks, with troops the size of battalions. i don't think israel has the stomach to occupy, because occupation will be a burden diplomatically, a burden in human lives and in every aspect of budgeting in the military. so i think we will do the thing they are —— the same thing they are doing now in gaza, they are trying to occupy a very narrow buffer zone, a depth of one or two kilometres, and from this, it will be a launching pad for this kind of operation. if there is a collapse of hezbollah at some point, it does not seem so for the time being, but if there is a collapse of hezbollah, things may change because of south lebanon is practically emptied of its inhabitants that are the popular bases of hezbollah. general khalil helou, good to talk to you th

they have main goals with hezbollah. they have not attack hezbollah.about lebanon, but we talk about an organisation using a smack and doing in lebanon whatever they like. hezbollah is part of the lebanese government. israel attack hezbollah activists directly and you can see the fact that israel attacked an area or buildings, some buildings in the area of beirut that is very close to the airport. at the airport is still working. because the israel attack attack directly only based on direct information about hezbollah leaders in beirut. since israel also tried to clean lebanon of thousands of missiles there for a long time for a period of time and at the same time, in north—east lebanon. this is the battle. i just want to pick up on that point but you say the airport, those strikes in the vicinity of the airport, obviously people are trying to leave lebanon. it makes it more difficult. people are also trying to leave lebanon via the border crossing with syria and yet israel has attack that border crossing with syria. the un are saying tojapan border c

israel and lebanon, hezbollah? yes, definitely anthony _ israeland lebanon, hezbollah?boykins visit is not only for israel as for saudi arabia and different countries in the region. —— antony blinken. the cease—fire and lebanon and israel and between hezbollah, the white house envoy who wasn't lebanon yesterday so far it seems that the proposal provided the lebanese government is no longerjust to expire. it seems that now we're moving beyond 1701 international resolution for a cease—fire for the interning more into more border security. which is the difference that in 2006 the 1701 was issued it was implemented only as a cease—fire resolution. it only stop the war but did not stop hezbollah from rebuilding itself and developing for that what they are developing today is a cease—fire that would turn into border security. is a cease—fire that would turn into bordersecurity. it's is a cease—fire that would turn into border security. it's a resolution that would definitely stop hezbollah from going back to the borders of israel and push the lebanese government to allow for

hezbollah!calations which have spread across the region with devastating consequences. the region has neverfelt more dangerous or uncertain. peace and resolution seem to have been abandoned. all sides are promising more attacks. further escalation. here in lebanon, the horrors of this conflict are reminiscent of the countless bloody and violent chapters in the country's history. people here have always felt they are living on the brink. today, more than ever, uncertainty looms large as they wait for what's next, something no—one seems able to predict. as you heard there, tensions in the region are at an all—time high. in the last few minutes, the afp news agency has reported comments from the israeli defence minister warning iran that it may �*end up like gaza and beirut�*. that it may �*end up we that it may �*end up will bring you more on that developing we will bring you more on that developing story as we get it. with exactly a month to go until the us presidential election, donald trump has

this area is a stronghold for hezbollah. this is the area _ stronghold for hezbollah.lah. this is the area in beirut _ stronghold for hezbollah. t�*i s is the area in beirut where hezbollah is based essentially, yes, where hezbollah�*s senior leadership were based. you only need to look back to friday a week ago when that huge powerful explosion that shook all of a here in beirut, the sound and size of it, that we later discovered had killed hassan nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, the man who led the organisation for three decades but hadn't been seen in public for years. but hadn't been seen in public foryears. he but hadn't been seen in public for years. he was a really elusive figure and it turned out we now know that he had been dug into this headquarters below some residential buildings in dahieh. the idf say when they put out their take on these air strikes afterwards, they often say they are targeting particular members of hezbollah�*s command structure and they have managed to kill a lot of them in the last two weeks or so. when you look at the upper echelon

obviously hezbollah has remained defiant.heard from the group's number two who said that hezbollah fighters were ready to confront any israeli invasion. this is a part of the country that is a hezbollah stronghold. obviously after two weeks of widespread israeli air strikes, high—profile assassinations, hezbollah has been weakened, its leadership has been almost completely decimated, but the group remains a very powerful force. it is believed to have thousands of rockets, including missiles that can strike deep inside israel, also thousands of experienced fighters. so there is here the question about how hezbollah is going to respond, whether it has the ability to organise a coordinated and significant response. in lebanon obviously this is more than eight military, it is a political and social movement was significant support, often described as a state within a state here in lebanon. foralmost state within a state here in lebanon. for almost a year people have been saying that there were concerns that hezbollah with those a

that someone has to agree that hezbollah has to agree that hezbollah has to agree that hezbollah hasare going to pull out in the that stage, then israel would need to stop as well and so i think what they are doing is getting rid of this infrastructure before that point before that ceasefire is broken. figs that point before that ceasefire is broken. as you've been speaking, _ ceasefire is broken. as you've been speaking, we're - ceasefire is broken. as you've been speaking, we're looking| ceasefire is broken. as you've l been speaking, we're looking at some live pictures of beirut, we will be seeing the explosion in the back of the screen there to left—hand side and we don't know what that is showing us just yet but we know that we have heard from a corresponding anna foster that there were strikes as well in southern lebanon and just hearing that is a picture from earlier so that could be what we have been witnessing byjust a follow—up on something you said that lebanon, when the israeli forces were charging into south lebanon into thousand and six and since then, what happened, wha

the time had come to change the rules of the game with hezbollah. and since september 17, pagers exploded, israel decided to radically change the reality. between the lebanese border with israel in the south and the river in the north, so that there would be no military presence of hezbollah. it was the main threat to israel's security. without this , the government will not convince the residents of the north of the country that they must return to their destroyed homes and start rebuilding everything. defend themselves, that is, the population's sympathy for their attack, but their advantage is that they are on the side. the death of the leader does not mean the destruction of the organization, its resources are great. the new secretary general of hezbollah is the maternal cousin of the previous leader, hashim safieddine. he is 60 years old. nasrallah, he resembles him in appearance, figure and even manner of speech. sofieddine was born and raised in southern lebanon, but received an education, like his brother, in iraq, where he studied theology

iran was the sole supporter for hezbollah. missiles. and in the recent, especially in the past decade, we've seen hezbollah expanding its mandate and its power beyond the territories of lebanon. so we've seen hezbollah involved in the war in syria backing assad's forces and iranian forces against the opposition. we've seen them in iraq also supporting iraqi militias and iraqi groups that are supported by iran. and recently we've seen them also providing training and support in yemen. and hence we see the yemenis, the houthis are involved in this conflict as well, and supporting both hezbollah and the palestinians inside gaza. and actually, on that point as well, frank, there's another another interesting question from rusty gaspard, who's in louisiana in the us. following on from what lena was talking about there, rusty wants to know, is hezbollah in lebanon at the invitation of the lebanese government? is the lebanese government at liberty to ask them to leave? well, actually, that question is probably best aimed at lina sinc

the explosion of thousands of hezbollah members pages led to a high number of casualties among hezbollah forces. at the same time, israel has prioritized the assassination of senior commanders of this group and has officially begun the war with heavy attacks on heizbollah positions in lebanon. on september 27, the regime assassinated hassan nasrullah, the long-standing leader of hezbollah. major escalation in its war with the lebanese resistance group and the resistance access as a whole. this outrageous move has now brought the region one step closer to much wider conflict as it has triggered iran to show a military response. the islamic republic of iran as the strategic ally of hizbullah against the brutal adventurism of israel in the region was finally forced to carry out a military operation against the regime. on october 1st, the islamic revolution guard core. launched hundreds of missiles towards the heart of israel in response to what tehran asserted, the regime's assassination of hamas's chief ismail hanie in tehran, hizballah's leader sayid hasan nasrollah and irgc commander abb

staff and leadership of hezbollah altogether, and hezbollah would no longer be able to fight against israel. in fact, he should have a power of thought and be able to plan and draw plans, but with this. the existence of that main cadre and in fact the hezbollah infantry, which is about 40,000 to 50,000 strong , has remained completely intact except for hezbollah's missile power. and during these days, despite these attacks that israel has had, which were very important attacks and inflicted important blows on the resistance, but also the countermeasures of the lebanese resistance. it continued, that is, this very morning, if you consider its developments , hezbollah had a really intense missile and rocket operation against various cities in the occupied territories, and it had achieved special successes today, so the trend is actually it was a process that created an erosion front against israel, and it was no longer bearable for israel, and for example, we saw that in many of these protests that were held in the streets of tel aviv, israel actually said that you have 12 hairs and yo

organizations are all hezbollah and basically all the commanders of hezbollah and this matter is ali'salthough mr. seyyed hassan was at the beginning of his youth and he is still young, alhamdulillah, he was very active and strong, let's not forget that seyed hassan was elected as leader on february 16th of the year 1000. entered historical and sensitive phases. a year and a half after his tenure as secretary general, in july 1993, the zionist regime carried out an air strike against lebanon in the name of settlement operation. as a result of this attack, which lasted for 6 days, there was a difficult war, and mr. seyyed hassan nasrallah countered this attack with interesting initiatives and at a high level of command and management, and also 3 years after this attack. in other words, in april 1996, the zionist regime carried out another air attack against lebanon for approximately 16 days, called operation violent clusters. he did that we came out of this battle with a true and proud victory and the zionists admitted and recognized our resistance. in 1993, the prime minister of lebano

immediately, the political council of hezbollah held a meeting, and almost the youngest member of hezbollah actually became the secretary general of hezbollah in lebanon, that is, at that time there were seyyed ibrahim amin and many of sheikh yazbek and many other personalities. an organizational party that region by region has its own plan and agenda. both in terms of military, political and various economic and cultural aspects. in the past one week, since the martyrdom of the secretary general , hezbollah's combat capability has been strengthened , hezbollah's missile attacks are planned and carefully in place. the confrontation zone and contact line of hezbollah was actually able to prevent the advance of the enemy from a political point of view. anyway, hezbollah has many personalities that can actually be surprising. inshallah, the islamic ummah and the axis of resistance will hear very good news in from the point of view that a new secretary general will be appointed, god willing, with coherence and strength, while the last word is that hezbollah is actually a school that seyyed hass

so hezbollah is on its back heal. they've been badly damaged by israel. they are still north on the ground because they have to clear far enough north so their citizens can return to villages and homes in israel. that's can it be -- going to be something not easily done. iran is trying to -- is very much in a corner now. hezbollah is not a player as they were a month ago. iran's attack last week was an attempt to reset that balance as they did in april. like the april attack it largely failed to do that. it was not particularly effective. israel now possesses the initiative. how israelesponds in the next few days will be important. they will do something larger than their response in april. i don't have any prior knowledge on what they might or might not do or they have a lot of targets to choose from. some more escalatory than others. the very good question you asked by saying iran has no larger options at hand to attack israel and what they've already displayed. because of the number of launchers with ballistic miss

this is true, this _ have things to hezbollah. this is true, this is _ have things to hezbollah.he israeli argument. they say, we usually hit areas that are in one way or another associated with the hezbollah military activities but when you put this argument to the people here, especially the residents of this building, they get really angry and they insist everybody inside the medical centre that was targeted last night were civilians. they say all the people who lost their lives were medics, maybe —— many of the edge were medics. we could even see masks and gloves on the streets. there were some blankets behind me. it is a scene of fear and chaos. 0ver scene of fear and chaos. over the past few days in fact, we have been hearing constant bombardment in the beirut southern suburb. but last night the strike was here in the heart of the capital. just give us a sense — heart of the capital. just give us a sense of— heart of the capital. just give us a sense of what _ heart of the capital. just give us a sense of what life - heart of the capital. just give us a sense of what life i

especially in lebanon's hezbollah. and lebanon came defeated the war of 2006 outside is exactly what i am talking about with the defeat of the situation, that is why israel cannot. if they think that the americans, the united nations, or the israeli coalition, the americans think that they can upset the balance in the region, this is not possible because israel has the potential to balance. it's okay to mix it up , the united states can't even mix it up , what the shiite crescent wants to do, i think it's a slogan, our region doesn't look at the shiite crescent because every country is respectable for us and every country is respectable for itself. there is no shia crescent, america is deliberately looking at shia it is appropriate to say that the country should be careful if the view becomes shia, you will beat them, but in the doctrine of islamic countries, there is no shia view at all. at all, this view that america has in the minds of the people is self- sacrificing. this is how he starts raising it in his own medi
