borders with lebanon and syria israel has carried out air strikes against iranian backed groups in lebanon iraq and syria in the past few days a lebanese president described it as a declaration of war those are your headlines the news continues on al-jazeera after the stream i will see you about. the nature of news as it breaks. creases in the. rows. with details coverage i was once known as the cold. and that's why people are not used to this situation. from around the world. it's been over a decade since i had seen her granddaughter. welcome to. a group of atomic scientists walls of the well it stands at 2 minutes to midnight that's their way of showing how close the 2 nuclear war can and to. the doomsday clock thoughts.

spotted it one of the borders israel has carried out strikes against iranian backed groups in lebanon iraq and syria in the past few days lebanon's president described it as israeli aggression and quote a declaration of war. his brother has promised to retaliate and iran says it will support the lebanese group in any action against israel so how to has more from the lebanese capital beirut. oh oh oh hezbollah is burying its dead in its stronghold in southern beirut 2 of its fighters were killed in israeli airstrikes in neighboring syria on sunday night the lebanese armed group is promising retaliation it has told israel to be ready for a response its leader has an astronomer also threatened to shoot down any drone that violates lebanon's airspace after what he said was an attack by israeli drones in hezbollah's area of control in the lebanese capital hours earlier. if we remain silent on this breach it will create a very dangerous road for lebanon on repeating what is going on in iraq now. in iraq the iranian backed popular mobilization forces are blaming israel for a series of unexplained

certainly been -- we know of hundreds of israeli operations, it's now clear it's expanded to iraq and to lebanonso how many times a week are they hitting, are the airstrikes going into iraq? and can that continue? can the israelis keep doing that without some response from iraq? >> right. well, we know so far of four separate incidents, two in july, two in august. the last one august 20th. israel, of course, doesn't claim responsibility for these actions, but it looks pretty likely, you know? israel's the only serious candidate for responsibility. paul: right. >> i would say that iraq itself, the iraqi government is very much divided on this because, of course, israel is not hitting the iraqi security forces. israel is hitting the popular mobilization units, that's shia militia supported by iran inside the country. so i think, you know, the iraqi government will probably continue to issue criticism and not do a great deal more. but the issue is will the iranians themselves who, of course, control those militias seek to carry out a response at a time of their choosing. and with regard to that, th

next. 3 attacks in 3 countries israel is said to have hit targets linked to iran in syria in lebanon and in iraq so why is benjamin netanyahu escalating tension with iran will iran respond and if so how this is inside story. thanks thanks thanks. hello i'm denis welcome to inside story now israel is being blamed for a string of attacks against iranian allied forces in 3 countries over the weekend and that's raised tensions across the middle east early on monday 3 israeli airstrikes reportedly hit a base belonging to a palestinian group in lebanon in the town of khowst saya right on the border with syria now those attacks came a day after 2 israeli drones calls damage in the capital beirut one of them hit a building which howls the media office of the iranian backed hezbollah in the city's southern suburbs another israeli drone explain did in the air in the same area. well israeli forces also carried out drone attacks in iraq and in syria israel did not respond to the accusations that it's a sort killed at least one fighter from iraq's popular mobilisation forces but benjamin netanyahu says the o

days it is believed to have operated in 3 neighboring countries lebanon syria and iraq nothing apple did say he gave the security forces a free hand to act in many renos against an enemy state hezbollah says the drone attack which damaged its media office violated the 2006 cease fire and changed the rules of engagement but at the same time the group is believed to have given israel a chance not to escalate tensions. the messages to the terror war telling the israelis any war will be costly and we are not alone i think twice. promised to support any action hezbollah takes against israel which doesn't seem to be backing down it is believed to be behind strikes on a position belonging to a palestinian faction allied to a long lebanon supporter with syria early on monday there is a real danger of further attacks by either side could escalate to war. beirut. saudi arabia is denying reports of a drone attack in the capital riyadh the rebels in yemen say the drone crossed the border and attacked a military target on sunday that they fired. missiles towards. brought home for hearts is an ass

upon syria and iraq as well by the united states by saudi arabia and a plague in which even russians have been bent hurt and russia's them huge amounts of work to support syria and. lebanonand iraq even in defending themselves and faulting the plague of that isis so you know how come no one says that hezbollah or the shah be all for example these groups in syria i'm not russian backed why iran but why why because the target is iran so why those groups is or israel put it move dangerously close to israel's borders led. well they're allowed to go anywhere within the border region of syria or iraq or lebanon this is their sovereign territory one might actually i ask why is israel occupying and stealing swathes of land in the golan which has no right to internet internationally it still owns it was stolen rather portions of lebanon such as the shebaa farms it has no rights over there i see no one questioning why israel is doing something or why israel is provoking the situation at the end of the day israel needs to understand that iran has said this time and time again that look you're playing with fire don't do this don't be silly behave yourself iran has no real interest i

that israel sees significant threats from iran in the past few days it's involved incursions into lebanon iraq and syria some people might say that this level of preemptive incursion is a step too far. iran is trying to envelope israel from all of this through has which is affectively iran through syria through iraq and even through gaza it's like a big octopus sending its origins in order to strangle israel we're not going to wait for iran to succeed but obviously will preempt and we will defend israeli lives and israeli citizens security anywhere anytime that we need to do so even though israel has arguably one of the most formidable defense systems on the planet with the i and also some significant allies around the world to these preemptive strikes maybe a little bit jumping the gun for want of a better phrase. quite the contrary what we're seeing is an aggressor which is a row. israel has no issue with iran if iran would focus inward on on its own people and stop trying to destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and if amending terror around the world we would have no issue with i

as israel expands is targeting inside iraq and lebanon, can you help us understand the level of your concern about the political blowback for u.s. troops and the iraqi political environment as a result of the strikes? and mr. chairman, the military has long been concerned about, quietly concerned about the impact these strikes could have on the security of u.s. forces in the region. can you speak to that, please? >> to the first part i will say obviously we are in iraq at the invitation of the iraqi government. we are there and focused on one thing. working with and through the iraqi forces to execute the d -- de-isis campaign. that is where we are focused. obviously we are concerned about anything that may impact our mission, our relationship or our , forces. quarks -- >> there was a point made of distancing the u.s. from some of these operations. it put a finer point on the idea that the u.s. really wants to stay away from -- >> we remain focused on iraq and supporting our forces in iraq to go after isis. operationsll of our are consistent with the agreements we have with the iraqi

playing a multilevel game where they have splat -- spread their influence and deepened it in lebanon, syria, iraq, yemen, and using multiple tools, media, cyber, and other things, to punch above their weight. where u.s. and their allies have conventional tools and we are not shaping the dynamics to our favor. >> but isn't it a bipartisan approach? we seem to continuation from the obama administration until now to work around. priority for the last administration and it's not a priority for this administration. isis was the of number one goal in syria, and we , people can haze say we are going to end endless wars as a slogan and ignore the facts of terrorist movements like isis still having deep roots. never an antithesis to policy, if isis reemerges as a factor, that was one of the things that led to this tactical cooperation with iran and places like iraq. if that emerges again, that places another conundrum for those in the trump administration who are trying to impose maximum pressure against iranian forces. to bring in fatima. backu want to take a step and look at the iranian role in yemen, h

major general hossam so in money everybody's very familiar with him as an operations in syria in lebanon in iraq and even you know he's there he's out of course horses after you sort of foreign operations unit of the i.t.c. . by many people's accounts is much more powerful regionally then mrs ari he carries out not only carries out iranian foreign policy but makes it so let's not really get hung up on the actual sort of technicality of a very being and you know been sanctioned yet it is sending a very strong signal that the united states don't want to want to deal with people like syria not there's a good question a doorstop in her package also brought up if you don't want to deal with the man who was coming out we're going to deal with i don't know how many has never left the country since 1908 we're going to deal with and that's going to be a real problem so i'm on the one hand the symbolic gestures of increasing the size of the stick is going to also increase tensions on the other and it is not quite clear whether the it you know what the islamic republic is going to respond to this will incr

minister of the he would like to make sure that iran does not allow its proxy mainly in iraq and syria and lebanon to have sophisticated weapons or to poor's a threat to israel so mainly when i look at it i see it as it consistent with his policy but i would add it becoming more dangerous because 1st it was in syria but then it's filled all over into iraq and now into lebanon and this is why did they it's it's it's the reason it's inching closer toward a war which some are saying i hope it will never happen hezbollah is. a loss mainly the lead that of hezbollah are according to his speech and i read it very carefully he will retaliate now based on the pattern off. i don't think i'm going to tell you it is have the missiles a lot of that in israel i think they are going to tell you that in the golan heights or hitting a convoy israeli like when they did a couple of years ago this is what i think the way they are going to retaliate and i'm going to do that yet in a way so is that israel will ask a question whether to go ahead and launch that italian at tax against that on or amount so it's going to
