this is issam abdallah's hometown. there were loved ones, friends, relatives who came, but also journalists from beirut. he was with very popular with the press corps in beirut, somebody you would run into all overer the region. this is somebody who dedicated his life to journalism and now has lost his life doing journalism. israelis say they regret the incident, but they don't know exactly what led to this incident. but certainly it's the gravest incident hear in south lebanon. of course, in gaza, we've seen seven, eight journalists killed already in this conflict. . >> so much travelinggy. >>> two of america's top national security officials are putting up a united front to visits in the middle east. defense secretary laid austin and secretary antony blinken pledge united states support for israel in separate meetings. >> this is a major diplomatic challenge, you understand. how does the u.s. keep this war from expanding? with us now jennifer hansler from washington d.c. jennifer? >> good morning, amara and victor. t

issam was in a different location nearer to the mediterranean. we were in the central border area. let's try to catch up with them. what we saw was shelling on lebanese territory. it appears that hezbollah fired back, targeting one military position that took a direct hit as far as we could see. now, this morning the israeli military is saying that they killed several infiltrators trying to cross the border into israel. last night just after about 1:00 a.m. local time, we heard several very large explosions in the direction of the border. now, what we also saw yesterday was a heavier presence of lebanese army along the road that runs by the border, trying to keep the situation under control. it doesn't appear that hezbollah at this point is anxious to become involved in a full-scale war with israel, but it does seem to be doing enough to keep the israelis on a high alert. we were overlooking one israeli community right next to the wll that constitutes the borders between the two countries. that town was empty. the only people we saw were israeli soldiers running from house to house

morning when the rockets were raining upon the israeli regime and hundreds upon hundreds of of hamas's issam brigades fighters who broke the fence, broke that concrete wall and clash with the soldiers, they took over the bases basically and took the the sensitive information as well that's in those bases and this could be very powerful thing for the palestinian resistance. maybe future plans of the israeli regime or or especially when they manage to take advanced equipment, electronics and surveillance equipment as well as weapons and and military jeeps and and uh apcs armed personnel carriers from from the israeli regime, it is amazing how uh people under the under blockade for sixth for... 16 years being able to achieve such achievements in in a very short time, up to the last few hours hamas, hamas's military way kept saying that there are still uh palestinian resistance fighters inside those israeli settlements whether in the east of the ghaza strip or or north of the gaza strip near the uh near the uh israeli settlement of the road that they refer to as israeli town, very important thin

"we don't know where we are going," he says. we are heading south but don't know where. there is no shelter or anything. we left the house we lived in, god help us. the evacuations have also been deadly. according to hamas, 70 people, mostly women and children were killed in israeli air strike that hit a convoy. since hamas' deadly rampage across southern israel, the israeli military has carried out tho

"it happened to our grandfathers," said this man, "now it's happening to us! "it raises the ghosts of the past." many gazans trying to escape israel's anger are descendants of almosti million palestinians who fled or were forced out of their homes at gunpoint in israel's indepe
