.. an operation that was planned before, that was carried out for a very long time, ee the israel defense forces shabbat security service and the yamam military police conducted an operation, it was planned, and they say that because its the minister of defense informed today israel, told that it was very successful, very difficult, very so scrupulous, but everything remained very well, the hostages were released, they have already been taken to... one of the hospitals in israel, and one of the doctors of this hospital even spoke and said that all the tests that should have been carried out at this time are being carried out, all the hostages are feeling well, they are talking, they are reacting, they are adequate, because we do not know, sorry, mrs. pig, how many there are, about which ones, about what number, if we can we talk about it tell me, please, look, on the first day, when there were more than 240 hostages , they returned in four, it seems, stages, i don’t remember exactly now, once there were a lot, there were 50, and then a little less, less, three of the hostages came back already,

foreign correspondents. we were taken there, we were always accompanied by the police, the israel defense forcesstrangely enough it was the first time that we were more protected from jewish settlements, they were not very calm, they attacked us, well, they tried not to spread biased information information, absolutely accurate, absolutely accurate, and there were jeeps near the arab... villages, our military was standing, and i was very surprised and i will ask why, they say, well, it is not peaceful here, well, due to my profession, i was in settlements and i was in these arab settlements there and i will honestly tell you that i was without security, so maybe i saw it differently, but it seemed to me that there was a very tense atmosphere, the situation and people practically do not perceive each other at all, there is no even a chance for compromises, that is the question. how to solve this problem, because it will become the main one after the end of the conflict in the gas sector? of course, you know, going back to the topic of calling ultra-orthodox people into the army, there is a very b

voice of america cannot to independently verify these or other personnel of the israel defense forces was the largest operation to return hostages since the beginning of the military operation, which began at the end of last year. when one of the freed hostages arrived at a medical facility in tel aviv, people chanted in hebrew , the people of israel are alive. this is in stark contrast to the nuseirat refugee camp in gaza, where more than 270 palestinians have been killed in an israeli operation, according to the hamas-run gaza health ministry. according to local security representatives health, airstrikes leveled part of the camp just days after israeli forces destroyed a school that served as a shelter. the tragedy of the civilians who find themselves in this situation is precisely because of the way hamas is fighting us on the battlefield. our first and foremost responsibility is to rescue the hostages, bring them home, create a better security situation for the israelis, i would say for the palestinians as well. while the israel defense forces continue to step on the gas, claimin

the israel defense forces are conducting intensive air strikes against hezbollah targets. fighters from the lebanese sheid group are responding by increasing attacks on the border areas of israel. the country's defense minister and chief of army staff is at the meeting. it will be impossible to avoid our missiles. israel must wait for us on the ground, in the air and on sea. the hazbalah leader also noted that the movement could attack targets in the mediterranean sea and even in cyprus if the country's authorities continue to provide israel with its ports and airfields. there are two nato bases on the island, akrotiri and dhekelia, which could become targets for the lebanese group. however, the main target in the event of the outbreak of a full-scale conflict, of course, will be israel itself, where the targets have already been reconnoitered, the video that caused a lot of noise... in which a lebanese drone flies over haifa and is filming several strategic objects, for example, the israeli navy base, makes it clear that in hazbal they know where to hit if something happen

now a high-level official and israel defense forces and the israel defense forces is saying the military is ready to attack targets in the north. and today, prime minister benjamin netanyahu, he's visiting a city right by the border cnn's jeremy diamond is in jerusalem forests. so jeremy, how would you say that how close would you say that israel is to launching another major offensive well bores it's really hard to tell at this point what we've been witnessing over the course of the last eight months, of course, is these continued cross-border exchanges of fire between hezbollah and israel. >> and at this moment, there's no question that there has been an uptick in those strikes from both sides in terms of the rockets coming from hezbollah towards northern israel as well as the attacks from the israeli military in lebanon. and recently over the last couple of days, something else has really brought attention to all of this. and that is the increase his in the wild fires that we have been witnessing over the last couple of days that have really brought national attention in israel to the

this week, the israel defense force's top spokesman made public the military's concerns about netanyahu's victory over hamas. >> the political echelon has to decide, and the israel defense forces will implement, but this business, this business of destroying hamas, making hamas disappear, it's simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public. if we don't bring something else to gaza, then at the end of the day we will get hamas. nick: so how significant is this public criticism by the military of the prime minister? and how does it play into the diplomatic tensions between netanyahu and the biden administration? for answers we turn to laura blumenfeld, a former senior policy advisor on the state department's israeli-palestinian negotiating team, and currently a senior fellow at the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. thank and welcome. so how significant is this public military criticism of the prime minister? laura: i think it is very significant it i think the idf recognizes while they may be winning militarily they are losing morally and that has long-term strategic i

the israel defense forces are ready to attack lebanon. eration against hezbollah is not only military. the us demands a truce in the gas sector. on the other hand, if israel takes this step, the country may be left without a government. opposition leader benny gans has already left the war cabinet. he believes that it is necessary to act more softly, two more ministers threaten to leave - national security and finance, and not vice versa, supporters of tougher measures. deal. which were published means a refusal to destroy hamas, a refusal to continue the war, this is a reckless deal, there is no complete victory in it. i say that if the prime minister continues with these negotiations, we will dissolve the government. holding elections right now is dangerous for benjamin netanyahu; it is unclear whether he will remain in the game or continue the chess game the leader of another political party. official beirut demands tel aviv to stop the military escalation. prime minister naji b by the way, rejected the threats of neighbors and called f

and while israel's defense forces say operational plans for an offensive in lebanon have been approved and validated, following the escalation in fighting and the war of words between the two sides, hezbollah has said they would stop attacking israel if there was a cease-fire in gaza, and also amos hochstein saying the best way to avoid a greater fight is to get a cease-fire in gaza. now, a war with hezbollah and israel could be potentially greater, as hezbollah, backed by iran as well, has a larger arsenal, as well as more, bigger fighting force than hamas. so there's real hopes that diplomacy can prevail, and a larger war can be avoided for the region, as they've been saying all along, trying to avoid escalation in the region, frances? >> okay, chapman, thank you. >>> new this morning, after a short trial, an american off-duty soldier has been sentenced to three years and nine months in a russian penal colony. gordon black seen here was arrested may 2nd in vladivostok in russia's far east. he was charged with making death threats against his russian girlfriend in addition to theft. b

the israel defense forces say it carried out a deadly airstrike early on thursday on a un school in the—run media office says at least 27 people were killed, and dozens who were sheltering there were injured. on wednesday, israel launched a new assault in central gaza near deir al—balah — the last city in the strip that israeli tanks had not entered. at least 70 people are said to have been killed, including several children. on wednesday, the uk election campaign saw a bitter row breaking out — with the labour leader sir keir starmer accusing rishi sunak of "lying" about labour's tax plans during tuesday's tv debate. here's our political editor chris mason. 0n last night's tv debate, rishi sunak said this... highertaxes, £2,000 worth of higher taxes under the labour party. ..and again... by saddling them with £2,000 worth of higher taxes. ..and over, and over again. independent treasury officials have costed labour's policies, and they amount to a £2,000 tax rise for every working family. keir starmer did eventually say it was false. this £2,000 he keeps saying it's going to cost is ab

eight months, and several hundred hezbollah fighters have already has been eliminated, and the israel defense forcesdaily strikes the positions of hizbollah militants on the territory of lebanon. currently, international players, including the united states and the european union, are doing everything they can to pressure the lebanese government to take certain measures and pressure the ksbu to prevent. a significant war in the region, but it seems to me that the more important factor here is the period that the islamic republic of iran is currently experiencing, on which hizballah, politically, financially and in a military sense, depends entirely and completely, and the islamic republic of iran is currently in the wrong political period in order to start a new wave of escalation, it has to go through this... transition period of power change, so in the next few months i don't expect iran to allow, or to order hizbollah to start more aggressive actions against israel that would lead to a really significant war on midnight thank you vyacheslav likhachev, historian, political scientist, researcher, m
