between hezbollah, the idf. if it weren't for the appalling violence that we have been seeing in the gaza strip and the attack on october 7th this would be a huge headline throughout the world. and this is a war that has been going on on a smaller scale that has been dwarfed by the fighting in the gaza strip but it is still a war. and what we are seeing just this morning so far is quantitatively a lot bigger than what we have been seeing already. at and it involves a lot more israeli equipment, a lot more hezbollah sites that have been targeted, hezbollah has said these hundreds of rockets, which are not particularly, as we noted just a moment ago, they are not particularly sophisticated weapons, they were the same kind of weapons that were used all the way back in 2006. we know that hezbollah now has much more sophisticated weapons, so, they are keeping those more sophisticated weapons and reserve so far. so, again, what we are seeing is a much bigger quantitatively bigger fight than what we have seen so far. q

and took photos with them and posted them online uh that's tasic, clear explicit endorsement of the idf. no one forces you even if military service is mandatory, who forced you to go to the military base and take photos with the idf, who forced you to dedicate your medals? i've lost count of the number of israeli athletes who dedicated various medals they've won in last month to the idf explicitly, i published all of this, it's all there, it's crystal clear, it's undeniable and irrefutable, and it's also if you look at fifa, how corrupt it is, the uh palestinians wanted to get israel expelled from fifa, because lot of the footballers were saying things like erase gaza, um, why haven't 200 ton bombs been dropped on gaza, and obviously this violates the fifa human. rights and policy and statues, because you're not only mixing politics with sports, but you're also promoting war, and i should just remind people that every football association is bound to the olympic charter, you know, if you're part of the olympic committee, every, it's like umbrella, right, so the peace mission in the olym

have another case here of how the media just ignoring the fact that israeli athletes are all in the idf, you can't join any of the olympic teams or even the national football team without having done military service, you have to do it, it's mandatory for every woman uh and man in israel, it's not just... that they're in the idf, it's also the things they've said and done, and and all of these things happen in the last months, they would, for example, one of them, this is the flag bearer, he's on the judo team, he he signed bombs uh that were about to be dropped on gaza, and uh, the olympic committee do nothing, you have um, the entire men's judo team who visited an air force base and israeli air force base and took photos with the soldiers there, the women's judo team also visited an israeli army base near gaza during this genocide and took photos with them and posted them. online uh, you, that's tasic, clear, explicit endorsement of the idf. no one forces you, even if military service is mandatory, who forced you to go to the military base and take photos with the idf, who forced you

that is what israel and the idf... and schools... that is what israel and the idf. ..l and the idf. .. they've been telling us _ israel and the idf. .. they've been telling us this - israel and the idf. .. they've been telling us this and - israel and the idf. .. they've | been telling us this and when the media doesn't do itsjob of scrutinising israeli claims we get to hundred 25 days of genocide and new polio outbreaks and skin diseases and children who are amputated without any family or shelter to keep them because we are merely relying on these talking points rather than investigating on the ground what is happening. rather than challenging the us undermining of all international law and international systems that should prevent and punish them. we had plenty of people from the idf of this particular programme, i interviewed several on the bbc continues to report on the situation and asking questions of both sides of course. we can leave the conversation there, thank you very much. conversation there, thank you very much-— conversation there, thank you ve much. .,

i'm told by the idf that israel's airstrikes inside southern lebanon are still underway.o your point israel has taken a number of steps in response to this not just closing tel aviv airport to incoming and outgoing patrick passenger flights but also closing some roads up north issuing alerts, opening public shelters and we have heard just in the last few minutes of the first injury from these strikes, that is one person injured in acre in northern israel, acre, we should note, is about 20 miles from the lebanon border. so if that injury is the result of incoming fire, that would be decent depth inside this country, 20 miles inside this country from from hezbollah fire. we've also been seeing israeli air defenses inaction in northern israel taking out some of this incoming fire, not all of it, because the idf says that some targets have been hit and that michael is the first casualty that we've heard from this one person slightly injured in acre in northern israel that is just north of haifa in northern israel. >> all right, jim, thanks so much, jim sciutto there in tel av

many of those about 200 or so were said to have been intercepted by the idf. but the question will be is his beloved done or michael does his below want to go another round and do try to get some of those longer range rockets into the telephone even to the center of israel that would pro provoke and larger israeli response likely, i would say potentially into beirut itself yeah. >> to that point, i mean, what what do you think benjamin netanyahu's calculation is when it comes to his baller, he's faced a lot of internal criticism in israel for months about all kinds of things. how far do you think he wants to go with hezbollah and what are the risks? >> well, you know, i heard what you said before michael about that some people have been thinking or saying that netanyahu is actually trying to vie to get the u.s. involves into a larger war potentially against his villa andy ron. and maybe that's what he's wanted. but i would say that the last ten months have kind of shown that israel doesn't want that israel has been trying to contain pain and limit the conflict

but according to the idf, thousands of targets were eliminated in the strike and the idf says more than 100 jets took part in this preemptive attack against hezbollah to thwart the larger attack that was planned by this iran backed group. those numbers are really significant because it gives you a sense of just how close israel was to a larger attack being carried out by hezbollah that would have caused significant damage to this country. and the question now is, is really what will take place next? and as we speak, i can hear the roar of israeli fighter jets overhead, an indication that the israelis may be continuing their strikes in southern lebanon to again send a message to hezbollah that they are prepared for the days and weeks ahead. kevin troy, let me ask you a couple of questions. one, 6000 is a massive, massive number. the untold carnage that could have caused is incalculable. and i'm just curious. and as the idf prepared to make this strike, i know you are in constant contact with the defense secretary there. what's the thinking? the idea that if they are going to protect thei

this is what the idf is saying. clearly that they have found bodies and they're working to retrieve those bodies. and identify them. so this is a very early signal at the moment. the idf has of information, new information in gaza. and i think we're going to what will clearly be waiting for the updates from the idf tonight okay. >> nic robertson stand by for us there in jerusalem. we also have alex marquardt, who is standing by in washington dc you see. and so alice for getting this information, the idf again, just just to remind everyone, it's very sparse information at this point, but the idf saying that only that it's found both bodies in gaza. of course, this is coming as these talks continue as the u.s. continues to try to pressure both sides to come to a ceasefire and hostage deal. what more are you tracking right now? >> well, this is just obviously extremely difficult situation for the families to be in because they start to hear these rumblings and they start to wonder who it is who has been found. now you

yeah we got an update on that now from the idf, they're reviewing their assessment.hey'd initially said that this was a preemptive strike because he anticipated thousands of missiles being fired by hezbollah they're now saying that this was preemptive because they were hundreds of missiles that hezbollah was preparing two fire at israel, which it does seem to be that there were hundreds of missiles fired. again, no details from the idf on what in terms of military infrastructure was damaged. hezbollah claimed to have targeted 11 military sites but we are getting a slight break down in the analysis from the idf of the weapons that were used. they say that it was missiles that were fired at at targets in northern israel. and drones, the much slower moving, more easy to intercept weapons systems that were fired directed towards this center of israel and the idf are saying that they successfully defended israel. and we've had no reports of explosions in the center of israel. so whether or not those drones were shot down at the border or where they were shot down or inter

the bbc in the own in their own article, they say they saw video. evidence of his body, the idf even confirmed that the dog bit him, i mean what more do you need, so i'm just my point here is just that this is another case of extraordinary brutality, the evidence is there and yet they refuse to call it out for what it is, and they they cover for the israelis and they're doing the same thing now with the rape, they refuse to talk about it and if they do if they do talk about it they water it down, they dilute it uh from gang grape to severe mistreatment, i mean this is it's beyond journalistic malpractice, it's it's intentional you. criminal conspiracy, i don't know what else to call it, this distortion of of terminology of get like is uh, they're completely complicit in the crimes that the israelies are committing, and the israelis wouldn't have that type of impunity if you like the uk broadcasters, european and us broadcasters weren't distorting the truth in what's happening, yeah, we had discussed earlier also the case of the israeli olympians at the minute, you had some informatio

right. >> and the idf spokesman, daniel hagari described what they believe has beloved was preparingensive attack. and i'm told by an idf spokesperson as well that they believe was to be a bigger attack than the daily ones we have seen up north over the last several days and weeks, the cross border fire missiles, rockets, drones at times coming from southern lebanon fired by hezbollah towards northern israel. that has been a daily event. we were up there along the border just in the last several days, but the extensive attack that hagari was describing, that israeli forces are now carrying out a preemptive strike against they believe was a larger one. and as you can see, there, these were images, just a few moments ago from northern israel as you see the air defenses there it appears carrying out so you can see some of that fire underway in addition to that, we learned just a few minutes ago that all passenger flights out to tel aviv have been suspended as a security precaution. understandable, given you're going to have a lot of air activity, you can you can reliably say that israel

the idf spokesperson daniel hagari speaking on the situation.n preparing to fire missiles, rockets towards israeli territory. in a self—defence act to remove these threats, the idf is striking terror targets in lebanon planning to launch their attacks on israeli civilians. this follows was more than 6,700 rockets, and explosives fired by hezbollah at israeli families, homes and communities since 8 october. hezbollah will soon fire rockets and possibly missiles towards israeli territory. we will shortly update the homefront and defensive guidelines for those in israel. from right next to the homes of lebanese civilians in the south of lebanon, we can see that hezbollah is preparing to launch an extensive attack on israel while endangering the lebanese civilians. we warned the civilians located in the areas where hezbollah is operating to move out of harm's way immediately for their own safety. hezbollah�*s ongoing aggression risks dragging the people of lebanon, the people of israel in the whole region into a wider escalation. israel will not tol

this is from the idf on x. it says approximately 100 iaf fighter jets struck and eliminated thousands of hezbollah rocket launchers aimed for immediate fire toward northern and central israel. more than 40 hezbollah launch areas were struck. when they talk about more than 40 hezbollah launch areas, what does that mean tactically? it also adds this, by the way, we will do whatever is needed to defend our civilians and the state of israel. when you're talking about 40 different areas, walk me through that. that does speak to the precision of the idf, does it not? oh for certainly the precision, but also the intelligence and also in terms of linking up a lot of the technical system that may be able to detect a weapon before actually it goes off, as well as to some of the intelligence about where these projectiles are fueled, where they're stored, where they're transported, as well as the mechanics of where are they actually getting, fixing and using these rail launchers or transporter erector launchers to get thes

the idf says more than 100 fighter jets took part in the operation destroying thousands of hezbollahcher virals. lebanon says three people were killed. prime minister benjamin netanyahu reacted to those strikes yes we can book it on was in well, which will hezbollah this morning, we detected hezbollah as preparation to attack israel together with the minister of defense and the chief of staff, we instructed the idf to act proactively to remove the threat. >> the idf has since been acting vigorously to thwart the threats, it destroyed thousands of rockets aimed at the north of the country it also thwarted many other threats and operates with great strength both in defense and attack. i asked you citizens of israel to comply to the directives of the home front command. we are determined to do everything to protect our country, return the residents of the north safely to their homes and continue to uphold a simple rule. whoever hurts us, we hurt them. >> u.s. president joe biden is monitoring the events in israel and lebanon. the white house says biden has discussed the strikes with his

now, the instruction has changed, but it does feel as if at the moment we are in a phase where the idf is, is assessing what damages they may or may not have had to the targets that hezbollah claims. and also trying to assess what impact they've caused with their preemptory strikes and whether or not there are other packages of strikes at weapons dumps that the sort of thing that we've seen, the israeli air force do over the past few days side of lebanon to see if there are more sites that they would want to strike inside of lebanon. we are still hearing the occasional fighter jet in the skies above us. and while ben gurion airport is this is no longer on a shutdown here in tel aviv. and we haven't yet seen civilian aircraft flying into the city. it doesn't mean that it won't be happening but it is all indicative of this sort of raised awareness threat level and an advisory level, i think is perhaps the best way to put it for the civilians and citizens of israel at the moment thanks, nick you are in tel aviv. i'm going to turn now to bed wedeman in beirut. both of you are in cities tha

the idf has not categorized who they are there. clearly, obviously trying to identify them now. but they did take this step, this rare step of putting out this statement, asking people to refrain from rumors and spreading rumors what does it say to you that the idf is making this move? >> thanks for having me, jake look, i think there's it's no secret that there's growing divide between the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu and senior members of the israeli defense forces. last week, there was a virtual shouting between minister of defense golan and the prime minister over the absence of urgency and the lack of strategy on the part of the current israeli government led by the prime minister both are freeing the hostages, cutting a deal in an effort, perhaps to de-escalate the war idf has a stake in transferring their military resources. what they believe is the graver threat in the northern border and the idf as a longstanding mission to redeem those on the battlefield, those who are alive, and those, and those florida, and while it's understandable, to prosecute a wa

on 3 august, the idf c conducted two air strikes a hamas cell until karam, healing nine palestinians, who the idf said were planning to conduct an attack inside israel, separate i df operations in genene and tubas early last week also killed another 16 palestinians. on 11 august, a shooting attack claimed by hamas killed one israeli civilian and wounded another in the northern jordan valley in the occupied west bank. another palestinian shooting attack, melcalkilya reportedly injured one israeli and two palestinians. the assalant who was claimed by hamas as an. casum brigades commander was subsequently killed by isf. mr. president, if the slide towards an even greater catastrophe is to be halted, the parties must end all escalatory rhetoric and actions. i reiterate the secretary general's call for all to work vigorously towards regional deescalation in the interest of long-term peace and stability. i welcome our efforts by egypt. qatar and the united states to bring both sides to conclude deal to bring about a ceasefire, the release of hostages and desperately needed humanitarian reli

the multi-city raids have killed at least 20 since they began, according to the idf.irsthand at al far'a camp, where four people were killed, including two children, during a 30-hour operation. you can see what's left of this mosque, just charred remains, after the idf swept through here, raiding most of the houses along this street. israel claims there were explosives inside the mosque. basel, a resident who says he sympathizes with the palestinian resistance, telling us he and his family were nearly struck by gunfire. >> when they shooting here, i sleep here, me and my wife. >> reporter: idf are saying they are carrying out these raids because they are finding terrorists. >> we are fighting about the free, about the land. >> reporter: fighting for freedom? >> yeah, for freedom. yes. >> reporter: it comes after israeli forces struck another aid convoy in gaza -- four palestinians killed. the idf saying armed individuals joined it who were not part of the coordinated plan. the u.s. aid group which helped coordinate the convoy saying in a statement that trying to deliv

the idf says another airstrike killed for terrorists. this resident caught in a blast one felony in seconds it in very fast. >> we felt like something came down on us from the sky and there was an explosion when i put my hand on my chest it was all shrapnel and in blood between the idf also arresting people and surrounding hospitals including geneina, main hospital, had been sinner. >> they said to prevent terrorists using it as a base palestinian ambulances also appearing to be targeted by the idf amid claims, staff were beaten. >> will see lammy the occupation army has clearly targeting medical crews and ambulances the latest example is today at the al-faraa refugee camp. the staff were forced to come out of the car and the director of our center in two bass was beaten as they have done in previous west bank raids, the idf, using i'm a diggers to rip up streets. they claim searching for roadside bombs in part, the idf says the operation connected to this failed bank pac bomb attack that only killed the bomber in tel aviv ten days ago i

at the same time , the idf claims that the attack was pinpointed aimed at hamas commanders.lding allegedly housed the headquarters of the palestinian movement commanders. the latest details on the situation in the middle east from victoria koroleva. in tehran, they honored the memory of hamas leader ismail haniyeh for the murder of the head of the palestinian movement iran blames the israeli military. during the memorial ceremony , those who came chanted death to israel and america. iran is carefully preparing the ground for the promised retaliation, with each passing day bringing the panic of the israelis to a new level. the iranian permanent mission to the un stated that the response to the killing of hanni will not affect the ceasefire negotiations, and the islamic revolutionary guard corps confirmed that the reaction will be timely. the order of the supreme leader for severe punishment of israel and a place for the blood of the martyr ismail hani. will continue to do what he thinks is right. he supports israel against iran and its proxies. he will not allow the situation

that is the deterrence is the idf. >> yeah. not only idf.acked, the general can talk about military tactics to send to your enemy, telegraph, tell them what you are, not going to attack, whether you attack it or not what type of signal that sends as far as strength is very. larry: very odd. >> very interesting they would do that. larry: very, very odd. we'll pick this up later in the week as results come through. kellogg, thanks a million. greg stuebe, with appreciate it very, very much. coming up who will voters trust to save the economy? we ask this once again, pro-business trump-vance or harris walls socialists. that is simple. we'll ask senator ron johnson, midwestern politician of what he thinks of this walz appointment and this bernie sanders backed e ticket. ticket. i'? m kudlow. ticket. i'? but get closer. daughter: (gasps) what the?! daughter: alright. dad: side to side. when you work with someone who knows a lot and cares even more... you can do this. ...you're unstoppable. (♪) wow... are you kidding me? you can do this. at truist,

and that's what the idf is saying. they did last night, right now israel security cabinet is still meeting right now. you can hear fighter jets in the skies above tel aviv. so right now, this is still an active, ongoing dynamic. i would say assessment situation by the israeli military and politicians here to consider what what hezbollah has aid done in terms of its attempted missile launches be in terms of what the idf has been able to achieve in its counter strikes and see if you will decide whether or not more counter-strikes of the type that israel that they took last night unnecessary. we know that the home front command here has put an, put an put on a heightened state of alert and the message over the past month or so here has been no change to that homefront instruction for the civilians of israel in terms of their preparedness in case of attack that has changed and that remains in place. no gatherings of more than 30 people allowed from tel aviv all the way to the northern border. they air raid shelters in haif

to act proactively to remove the threat the idf has since been acting vigorously to thwart the threatsto destroyed thousands of rockets aimed at the north of the country. it also thwarted many other threats and operates with great strength both in defense and attack. i asked you, citizens of israel to comply to the directives of the home front command we are determined to do everything to protect our country, return the residents of the north safely to their homes. and continued to uphold a simple rule whoever hurts us, we hurt them now cnn is covering the breaking developments as only we can cnn's ben wedeman, nic robertson, and nada bashir are in the middle east. camila dechalus is standing by watching response from the white house and our military and global affairs experts are here as well. we started beirut though with cnn senior international correspondent, ben wedeman, bethlehem let's start first with what we know about the success, the effectiveness as we should describe it of this attack, what people killed in lebanon? >> but in terms of the effectiveness, victor, we don't kno

but according to the idf, thousands of targets were eliminated in the strike and the idf says more than00 jets took part in this preemptive attack against hezbollah to thwart the larger attack that was planned by this iran backed group. those numbers are really significant because it gives you a sense of just how close israel was to a larger attack being carried out by hezbollah that would have caused significant damage

the idf, the idf can take them out. all over the place. jordanians that defended them in april, all of our warships that are nearby, they can strike the missiles. and i'm sure general can talk about military tactics but to send to your enemy, what telegraphed to them tell them what you are or not attacking, and whether you do, or type of signal that will send. it is very interesting. larry: very odd. >> we'll pick it up later in week. keith kellogg thank you and greg steube appreciate it. >> who'll voters trust to save the economy we asked, you have pro the business trump l/vance or harris-walz socialist. we ask senator ron johnson. i'm kudlow. nexium 24hr prevents heartburn acid for twice as long as pepcid. get all-day and all-night heartburn acid prevention with just one pill a day. choose acid prevention. choose nexium. growing your business is easy once you know the moves. with godaddy websites plus marketing, you can quickly create a website, and ai will customize it for you. get your business out there and get more customers in here.

it means that effectively the idf are - effectively the idf are fighting on three fronts, in gaza againstorder with lebanon against hezbollah and in the west bank as well. in hezbollah and in the west bank as well. w hezbollah and in the west bank as well. .. ,, ., ~ hezbollah and in the west bank as well. ,, ., ~ ., as well. in fact if you talk to benjamin — as well. in fact if you talk to benjamin netanyahu - as well. in fact if you talk to benjamin netanyahu he - as well. in fact if you talk to benjamin netanyahu he willj as well. in fact if you talk to - benjamin netanyahu he will tell you israel is fighting on seven fronts, i can't quite remember what those are, but those three are the main ones. 0ne what those are, but those three are the main ones. one thing thatis are the main ones. one thing that is where the observers point out is an influence of iran and all three fronts, and they point to the influence of iran when it comes to money and smuggled weapons on the west bank. they believe iran has an interest, just as it does in lebanon and gaza in maintaining a level of hostility

according to the idf , there were no reports of casualties. a representative of the press service of the israel defense forces stated that all army units are on full combat readiness. but our middle east correspondent, alexander belibov. alexander, hello, what is the situation in the region? yes, colleagues, hello, but the situation in the middle east. remains extremely tense, and forecasts regarding its normalization, at least in the near future, are disappointing, but first of all , the conflict in the gaza strip is flaring up with renewed vigor, and the arson of the cities and social facilities, civilian facilities of the palestinian enclave, which are not distinguished by their selectivity, here is one of such strikes, the most resonant, perhaps, in recent times happened last weekend at the ottabain school in gaza, the israeli air force fired three rockets, as a result, according to the palestinian health service, more than 100 people were killed, most of whom were women and children, more... 60 palestinian civilians were injured, but i wi

that sort of statement was put out by the idf? >> well, good afternoon, jessica know nick is cracked. it is very unusual and my speculation it's just that is that the hunch of the idf is that these may well indeed be hostages. we know that there are at this time estimated to be 107 or 108 hostages still being kept by hamas. the israelis don't differentiate between those who are alive and those who are dead. but the belief is at 40 of those 107, 108 are dead. and their bodies or somewhere under the control of hamas. so the question would be, are these some of those bodies, are those others? i think this is a very difficult time i'm sure for the israeli people and the families to get this news. because now everybody is on their edge of the seats wondering are these hostages how many know we have no sense of number and so i think we're going to have to sit tight and see how this plays out over the coming hours. right? >> we are hoping to learn more in the coming hours because we just don't know a lot, except that they have found thes

the idf is protecting — in the west bank? the idf is protecting and _ in the west bank?s protecting and defending - in the west bank? the idf is protecting and defending our children, our citizens. these operations or operations to eliminate terrorist cells, violent cells of hamas. it was one of the heads of the terrorist cell in jenin. the trader with him is from islamichhad and fatah. eversince two days ago when a senior hamas leader who called out for everybody in hamas in the west bank to go out and act and commit acts of terrorism, of murder, of suicide bombings, so right now we are on guard and trying to eliminate that threat for communities, our children. threat for communities, our children-— threat for communities, our children. . , ., , children. can i put to use them in from the british _ children. can i put to use them in from the british foreign - children. can i put to use them in from the british foreign office? | children. can i put to use them in| from the british foreign office? it says the uk is deeply concerned about the ongoing idf military operation

of course, that's key to the idf's considerations on what to do. now, what's known as bda battle damage assessment, not only of the impacts that hezbollah claims to have precipitated on 11 military targets here in israel, but also the idf's or the israeli air force as well, their own strikes inside of lebanon. so what they do next, i'm hearing fighter jets in the sky as well over us now, what they do next will depend on that battle damage assessment and it does at the moment seemed to be a pause and wait. but significant as ben mentioned, a new interview question the israeli defense force are not speaking in any detail at all or giving any clarity or understanding of the extent of the damage those sites. i'm one of those sites is there's a significant major defense installation very close to the border with lebanon. so strategically important for israel, not not a standalone site, but one that's backed up by many others. but the integrated air defenses that has below saying that they attacked the integrity of those will also speak to israel's next

remains extremely tense, there has been a significant increase in the intensity of mutual attacks by idf and the lebanese-jewish movement hezbollah in the last few days, the risk of a major war is really there in this part of the region, but as was stated today literally a few minutes ago in the ilvan parliament, the speaker of the parliament said that while peace talks on gaza are ongoing, a large-scale attack from israel is not expected in beirut, while... lebanon continues to prepare for a possible, including ground, attack idf operations in southern lebanon in other parts of the country, the country's health care system is now on maximum alert. no one can predict what kind of burden we will face, only god knows for sure, because we do not know the power of the strikes from israel, nor their duration, there will be no target, will there be strikes on civilians, i do not know what will happen, but we expect that... citing american officials, it was reported that, in washington's opinion, israel has already exhausted the possibilities of a military conflict in the sector gas, the idf ha

the idf says another airstrike killed for terrorists. this resident caught in a blast one felony if in seconds it in very fast and we felt like something came down on us from the sky and there was an explosion when i put my hand on my chest, it was all shrapnel and in blood between the idf also arresting people and surrounding hospitals, including jeanjean's main hospital, had been sinner they said to prevent terrorists using it as a base palestinian ambulances also appearing to be targeted by the idf amid claims, staff were beaten little as of the occupation army is clearly targeting medical crews and ambulances the latest example is today at the al-faraa refugee camp. the staff were forced to come out of the car and the director of our center in two bus was beaten as they have done in previous west bank raids. >> the idf using ahmed diggers to rip up streets, they claim searching for roadside bombs in part, the idf says he operation connected to this failed backpack bomb attack that only killed the bomber in tel aviv ten days ago it wa

and the idf is calling for people not to speculate about what is going on.nd the reason for that is very clear that the speculation could be very harmful and hurtful this very, very sensitive time. but i think just to contextualize you had deep divisions in the government at the moment over how it's handling, how the prime minister in fact is handling the hostage negotiations you have tonight in tel aviv and other citizen israel, you have family members of hostages and others supporting them protesting on the streets as they have done so many saturday nights now, i think every saturday tonight as far back as i can remember, way back until the new year at least and probably before protesting on the streets, three people according to the police, were arrested, but the passions and the feeling, a very strong two thirds country want the prime minister to make a deal to get the hostages bag. the issue cannot be more alive if you will, it cannot be more talks about than it is at the moment. and the anticipation that there is a peace talks process underway that you

hezbollah, and the idf. we'll have more on that right after this short break. >>> who suspended his ill fated independent presidential campaign yesterday. and threw his support behind the twice impeached four dimes indicted, convicted on 34 felonies former president. what that could mean and what's ahead with our expert guests in a few moments. but first, my biggest take away, from a convention that was full of joy, excitement, and love of country. for far too long, republicans treated the flag, the word patriotism, and chants of usa as their own property. if you weren't a republican or a conservative, you weren't a real american, or so they would have everyone believe. at the 2004 democratic convention in boston, then illinois state senator barack obama started something when he said this in his keynote address. >> there is not a black america and white america and latino america and asian america. there is the united states of america. we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and strip

have you seen the video released just a few days ago by idf soldiers of those self—same idf soldierster is desperately short — and saying on the video that they put out that it was "an honour to do this on shabbat". that's an international crime, isn't it, against humanitarian law? i don't know of this video that you're referring to. i can only tell you the facts. the facts are that, since the beginning of the war, there are more trucks with humanitarian aid, with food, with supplies entering gaza than before the war. that is a fact. so, if there's any starvation or thirst in gaza, it's only because hamas taking control of these trucks and preventing, again, preventing their own people from getting the trucks, from getting these supplies, that is the only fact that... see, mr tal, iwould put it to you that soldiers feel free to put that kind of video out on social media platforms because there is an attitude of impunity, a confidence that they will not be punished for violating international, or indeed israeli national law. another example of that is what has been happening in one of

the idf now on high alert as the u.s. moves more military assets to the middle east, revealing a guided missile submarine, whose location is normally top secret, is heading to the region. >> what we're focussed on is continuing to de-escalate diplomatically. our hope and our intent is for -- to make sure that an attack doesn't happen. >> reporter: overnight hezbollah probing israeli defenses, firing dozens of rockets into northern israel, most of them intercepted by the iron dome. israeli blood banks and fortified underground hospitals preparing for an attack. it comes as hamas, another ally of iran, signals it won't enter into a new round of gaza ceasefire and hostage talks because, its says, it already accepted a deal weeks ago. and tonight, the idf reacting to a hamas claim that hamas' own guards in two separate incidents shot and killed a hostage and seriously wounded two other people being held captive. the idf saying it has no intelligence to refute or confirm hamas' claims. david, israel has banned all its air forc

according to the idf, hamas fighters were based there.mand center served as a shelter for terrorists and hamas commanders, from which various attacks on idf troops and the state of israel were planned. for now, the israeli authorities say they are ready to defend themselves. attack citizens stock up on food and water in shelters, the media spread information about urban shelters, show how to barricade yourself at home. experts are sure that in the event of a real attack in unfortified areas, no stone will be left unturned. iran is a standard military industry, they can assemble a warhead with a body and an engine, and this machine will move over huge distances, and what they will release on israel can weigh from 100 kg to 1.2 tons. this. will wipe out an entire area, mainly because of the shock wave and the effect it has will produce if all the houses collapse at once. containing the parties from escalation, as has been repeatedly noted at un venues, lies on the shoulders of the international community. however, the american sponsors are

the idf command assumes that a strike on israel likely this week, but the hour is near.nexpectedly reveals serious disagreements between the military and political leadership of israel, speaking before members of the knesset, defense minister yoav galland called the statement about the possibility of a complete victory over hamas in gaza nonsense. local media also reported that at a closed meeting , galland doubted the rationality of active military action in the northern direction in the current conditions. benjamin netanyahu took the minister's harshness to heart. about the release of hostages. the situation with israeli hostages in gaza is critical: a ceasefire in the palestinian enclave could reduce the level of escalation in the region, but with no hope for a bad peace, the israelis continue to prepare for war. the crisis center of the city of haifa, like other city institutions, is located underground in a shelter, the wall is occupied by screens on which you can display video from any part of the city. in order to understand the operational situation and immediate

and that's a different thing all together, so you ask me how i became an activist, i served in the idf and and i think that as an israely we have the moral obligation to speak about what we did over there, it's not a secret that belongs to me as a soldier or as an israeli, something that everybody should know that is happening almost every night, straw widos like i did, but every day we have checkpoints and palestinian giving permets and now fighting in gaza and arrest, it's a ongoing occupation of 57 years. occupation of 57 years, very uh telling uh and gut-wrenching testimony under oath by this former uh idf sniper. i had never heard of this operation straw widow uh before, had you? no, but i'm i'm quite familiar just with the behavior of the israelis in the west bank, whether that's through their their seizure of land or, i when i went to the west bank i worked with this wonderful translator uh english someone had previously taught english, english literature at local universities, and uh, his family had, there's the one aspect of just getting around the west bank where you're confr
