lebanon. imam musa sadr's plans are affected. israel, which welcomes any war and conflict in lebanon, implements its plans. in 1978, israel used the pretext of preventing palestinian attacks on lebanon they attack, israel deploys a mercenary group in lebanon and withdraws from lebanon . in 1988, israeli prime minister menachem begin appointed one of his most violent people as the minister of defense . ariel sharon sharon had a long history of crime and he said: destroy everything that can be destroyed. sharon draws up a plan to not only end palestinian resistance, but also change the geography of the region. at first, scattered attacks by israel will begin, and on june 6, 198, a nationwide attack will begin. 120 thousand soldiers. along with 302 armored personnel carriers they suddenly enter lebanon. they quickly reach the palestinian camps in sur and saida. the war begins. palestinian fighters resist. at the same time, israel attacks the syrian forces. with israel's pressure on the parliament of lebanon and shiroon. the president is el

stronghold of the group, and i think there had been these concerns that this violence along the lebanon, israel complex, so i think to give you some other lines of what hassan nasrallah had to say, he said that all options are on the table, and he also said the only way to prevent a regional conflict is to stop the war in gaza. again, we didn't have any kind of indication, any announcement that hezbollah is preparing a major escalation in this complex, which is perhaps positive news, given the recent fighting that has been happening along this border, but again, i think you left open the possibility that hezbollah could escalate its attacks against israel. he said that this would depend on the situation in gaza, and also, how israel responds to what hezbollah has been doing, but again, before this speech, there was a lot of concern here that hezbollah could be planning an escalation of those cross—border attacks that we have seen over the last few weeks, since this israel, how mass war started, but today, after this much anticipated speech, we haven't had any announcement that hezbollah is prep

lebanon. this is a video released today by the israel defense forces, what it says are tank strikes on hezbollahebanon. they say the strikes hit hezbollah infrastructure and there have been casualties reported on both sides. so, what does this mean for the war? this is hasaan, the leader of hezbollah who has been speaking today. he is a sheer cleric who have led the group since 1992 and has played a key role in turning it into a political, as well as military force. he has close links with iran and its supreme leader, which date from 1981. in a speech watched by thousands at a rally, hasan praised the attacks on israel on the seventh of october that said they were 100% palestinian. >> this is the first operation which has been a historic points and blessed point. this was a palestinian decision. 100% supported by the palestinians. 100%. >> hamas and gaza has repeatedly urged allies to join the fight, but israel has warned of unimaginable consequences if hezbollah joins the israel-gaza war in the army says it's forces are on very high alert at its border with lebanon. >> we are going to move from

lebanon. in syria and jordan and iraq, and they would alljoin the war if things got worse in gaza. you say it all depends on israelly you have to accept that it all also depends upon hezbollah, backed by iran, which has a very strong military force on your territory in lebanon. hezbollah is a key player right now, is it not? that's true. hezbollah�*s a big player. and we are talking to hezbollah. the government is talking to hezbollah. i don't want to say we have an understanding. no. we really think that hezbollah is not going to start a big war unless things get very, very, very bad in gaza, or unless israel strikes first in a bad way, you know, like the way the minister of defense talked about it and it was reported in american press. hezbollah, of course, is a proscribed organisation, labelled as a terror organisation in many western capitals. and what we have seen in the last couple of weeks since hamas�*s october 7th assault on southern israel, we have seen fierce but sporadic clashes along your southern border, the northern border of israel. they've cost dozens of lives. they've displaced many lebanese civi

israel. you've had iranian—backed proxy militias in lebanon, syria, iraq, all firing missiles, and that is concerningey're not united, but they will come up with a united stand condemning israel. syria's president, bashar al—assad, is here. i mean, this man was an absolute pariah in the arab world, he was essentially kicked out of the arab league from the 2011 uprising onwards, soon after that. he's only been rehabilitated a few months ago but he is here. you've got turkish president erdogan, who for a while was not on good terms with the saudi hosts here at all at the time of the jamal khashoggi murder five years ago and you've got leaders from all over the muslim world, you've got a number of african leaders here and of course you've got president mahmoud abbas of the palestinian authority is here and he's been very outspoken. one of the things arab ministers have been saying to me privately, and i think this should make the west worried, they are saying that they view western attitudes to this as being one of double standards, of hypocrisy. why? because they said the west was very quick to condemn

he said the border between lebanon, israel, is a support front and he said the group had stepped up itshing explosive drones, also a more powerful type of missile and that the group was also targeting positions deeper inside israel. and ben, four weeks we have been talking about those stations along the border. i've been to those villages along the border, many residents have left because there is real fear here that the violence could escalate and lebanon could be dragged into this conflict. i think over the last few weeks we have seen the attacks intensifying, happening almost daily but so far, those attacks have been contained to those villages and those areas along the border but i think there is a real fear here that these attacks could escalate and again, lebanon could be dragged into another war. lots of people here in beirut but also in the south of the country still remember the devastation brought by the war in 2006 between hezbollah and israel and i think lots of people here fear that history might be repeating itself. the people here fear that history might be repeating itse

an agreement was concluded on the maritime border between lebanon and israel. land border between lebanon and israel. on november 7, he flew to berut on a surprise visit, met with the speaker of parliament, acting president nabih beri, acting president najib mikat, with the ex-director of the general directorate of general security, this is an analogue of our once soviet kgb, general abbas ibrahim and the commander of the lebanese armed lebanese army, general joseph aoun, is not enough, when you would say anything, he held meetings in deep secrecy, but from in our wise opinion, nothing was revealed, although there is very little information. the levants note that this person is well-known, despite the fact that he was born in israel, unlike blinkin, he does not advertise his origin and behaves very tactfully and gently. at a meeting with beria, he immediately offered condolences in connection with the death of the family on november 5 and asked him, not to warn him, but asked, unlike blinkin, that if possible lebanon should not be drawn into the war against isr

stanislav, news beirut, lebanon. israel not considering a ceasefire in the gaza strip until an interview with german television. israelis today mark 30 days of mourning since the hamas attack on october 7th. commemorative events take place in jerusalem and tel aviv. the topic will be continued by our special correspondent pavel melnik. a month of difficult confrontation is over, as it showed. this is the most effective argument in the confrontation with hamas, since no other tangible israeli prime minister netanyahu's results in resolving the conflict, his position is largely based on how extensive the enemy's arsenals are in the gas sector. as the israeli defense forces advance through the palestinian authority, new hiding places are discovered, these are dozens of missiles aimed at israeli territory, they are well camouflaged. is already essentially waging a war , well, let's say so, on two fronts, not only in the south, where the gas sector is, but in the north, where lebanon is, it is from there that hezbollah launches

jon donnison at the border of israel and lebanon. really don't want anotherwar, hassan blabbing on really don't want another war, hassan nasrallah has just said the possibility of total war is realistic. —— the people of lebanon. he also said this doesn't scare us. we will continue to follow on with these developments, but from now, it is good from jerusalem. hello there. good afternoon. it's a much quieter looking day of weather today than yesterday following storm ciaran, of course, but still some heavy showers developing, including once more for the south coast. the centre of that deep area of low pressure has pushed out into the north sea, that was the storm, but the associated fronts have been causing damage all over western europe — flooding across italy, strong, gusty winds. there's another deep low pushing in from the south—west overnight tonight. but for the rest of today, still some blustery winds for eastern scotland. there's been some rain here. that rain gradually pushing a little further westwards. the winds are a lot l

in the last hour, israel defence forces say again there has been a fresh exchange of fire, anti—tank missiles coming crops from lebanon returning fire on hezbollah targets in lebanon itself. let's get more from our correspondent in beirut, hugo bachega. i think a lot of people here in lebanon and israel and washington are relieved after the speech yesterday. the first time the influential leader of hezbollah made a public speech since the beginning of the war between israel and hamas and for weeks we had been talking about fighting along the border between lebanon and israel and fear that violence could escalate and lebanon could be dragged into the conflict so a lot of people were watching the speech yesterday and i think the most important thing that came out of the speech was he did not announce any intention to escalate those attacks, step up the campaign by hezbollah against the israeli military. he did leave the door open for more attacks, he said all options were on the table and he said the actions of hezbollah will be determined by what happened in gaza and by the actions of the struggle towards lebanon and h

positions in several areas were targeted with anti-tank missiles and mortar shells. launched from lebanon. israel'she had that yemen drone units will continue hitting targets inside occupied territories as well. answer the leader said the us has repeatedly warned yemen against attacking israel, he also strongly rebut some arab and muslim nations for standing by idly in the face of israeli crimes and urge them to adopt a clear stance in the face of the genocide taking place in gaza. and more pr have fallen victim to israel aggression to the occupied west bank, regime forces of killed seven palestinians during pre-dawn raids on the city of tulkaram and a refugee camp there. the palestinian health ministry says people were killed in clashes with israeli forces and dronesty strikes by the regime. dozen more were injured with some now in critical condition. regime troops also faitally shot another man in banun junction area. there have been reports of clashes in the town of calkilla as well. israel has intensified its bloody attacks on the west bank. nearly 200 palestinians have been killed by israeli f

since this conflict started on the 7th of october, tensions between israel and lebanon have been risinghe gaza strip where the war is unfolding. and here's lebanon, israel's northern neighbor. now you can see the border marked here in red. hezbollah is a powerful political and military force in lebanon. it's backed by iran and designated a terrorist organisation by western states, israel, gulf arab countries and the arab league. and hezbollah and israel have a long history, including in 2006, when a full blown war broke out between the two. so what has hezbollah�*s response been since the war began? there have been attacks on both sides. now, if you take a look at this map, this is the border between lebanon and israel. analysts from geoconfirmed have been tracking these cross—border strikes by monitoring social media. now, the blue dots you can see here are strikes by israeli military and the red dots are the strikes by hezbollah. and this is a video released by hezbollah yesterday, claiming that it shows an attack on an israeli military base. by looking at the geography of the area, k

in the end israel did achieve its goal of expelling the plo from lebanon. but the cost was a brutal escalation of violence which produced a horrific tragedy. a militia allied with israel and operating in a zone that israel controls, massacres, perhaps thousands of civilians including many women, children and elderly people in the palestinian refugee camps of greater long-term significance israel's invasion galvanized nonchristian forces in that country and helped create the iranian backed shiite group hezbollah. since then hezbollah has bun within of the most potent threats to israel's security. on the day of the october attack, hamas claimed to have fired 5,000 rockets on israel. hezbollah has an estimated 150,000. the lesson is surely that war often has outcomes very defrn from those imagined at the outset. in many ways, the tension in the middle east are the unintended consequences of another invasion. the iraq war of 2003. that conflict toppled the sunni led government of sudd am hussein. this brought them closer together. and that burgeoning alliance th

the strength of the fleet in order to be in the north of israel and, accordingly , respond to those attacks that may occur from the south of lebanonfighting is quite high, of course, it cannot yet be compared, for example, with 2006, but then israel launched a ground operation in the south of lebanon, now everyone stands in their positions, but they exchange blows every day, and the blows are quite painful, although for now, so that this escalation can be played back, but if we return to what should happen tomorrow, tomorrow the leader of the lebanese should really speak... balls and well, here you need to know how to look for the symbols that now media structures associated with pro-iranian forces in lebanon are actively disseminating, in general, every day, literally for several days now, there has been such serious media preparation for this speech, in addition, information has been thrown into the information field that tel aviv has received an ultimatum from pro-iranian forces, hassan was given a shit, and the demand from the shiite world to withdraw troops from gas, now to the question whether there will be a second front or

system was operating there, and the city of mitula was attacked by militants near the border with lebanon. israel responded by shelling hezbollah's military infrastructure . as for the fate of more than 200 hostages captured during the bloody raid on israel on october 7, hamas officials said that 60 of them went missing during idf raids. free those who are now in captivity. hamas demanded thousands of people in the streets tel aviv, while they called on the government not to agree to a ceasefire and not to carry out humanitarian pauses. the demonstrators set up tents in the square and said that they would not leave until the hostages were freed or representatives of the red cross were allowed to see them. similar actions took place in haifa and jerusalem, where protesters tried to break through the fence near benjamin netanyahu’s house. in the largest cities of the world, meanwhile, protests in support of palestine in london do not stop. in berlin, participants are accused of inciting hatred attacks on law enforcement officers. tens of thousands of americans gathered for a demonstration in washin

lebanon? whenever we speak about the threat to israel from lebanon and talk about hezbollah, you mentioned thenasrallah last week, but the fact israel has blamed hamas's military wing for these 16 rocket yesterday, how significant is the hamas presence in lebanon? hat significant is the hamas presence in lebanon? ., ., , ., lebanon? not huge, and there is a ve larae lebanon? not huge, and there is a very large palestinian _ lebanon? not huge, and there is a very large palestinian presence - lebanon? not huge, and there is a| very large palestinian presence and most of these palestinians are living very peacefully in the camps and beyond in southern lebanon and in beirut in northern lebanon too, trying to get on with their lives, raise their kids, trying to deliver the sorts of lives for themselves that we would all want for our kids. the palestinian extremist groups like hamas are present around that border area but they tend to be fairly carefully controlled and overseen by hezbollah. it is significant that it blames them for these attacks rather than hezbollah and indicates it also recognise

said its positions in several areas were targetted with anti- tag missiles um morter shells from lebanon. israelspecially in babel mandep and near yemani regional waters. he added that uh drone units will continue hitting targets inside the occupied territories as well. the answer leader said that the u.s. has repeatedly warned yemen against attacking israel. he also. rebuked number of arab and muslim nations for standing idol by the israeli crimes, urging them to adopt a clear stance in the face of the genocide taking place in gaza. more palestinians falling victim to israeli aggression across the occupied west bank. regie forces have killed seven people during pre-don rates on the city of troram and a refugee camp there. according to the palestinian health ministry, the people were killed in clashes with israely forces and drone strikes, dozen more were injured, some of them are in critical condition, regime troopers also fatally shot another man at the bait einon junction area, there have been reports of clashes in the town of calkalilia too, israel has intensified its bloody. tax on the west

in gaza itself, and the resistance from the resistance forces in in lebanon, which is tying up half the israeli army. there on the israel lebanon border, and it will be interesting to see whether the seas fire, the truth applies on that border. i don't myself see any reason why pizbollah should respect the terms of an arrangement on which it has not been consulted, but what's clear is that the israeli intention is after these four days to continue as before? and their objective stated every day more clearly is empty gaza completely of its palestinian population, the israeli security minister in a jerusalem post article on 19 november stated this very openly that the objective is to remove all palestinians and israel is talking to western powers. about them resettling the entirety of the gaza palestinian population, ethnic cleansing, in other words, is still very much israel's agenda, and i do not see how this truth advances palestinian interests, it seems to me that the palestinians have got a very bad deal, for the next four days, israel will be... giving us horror stories of how these hostages have been treated, and i

to indicate the group's next move as its fighters have been engaged in intense attacks on the lebanon israel border could become another front in this conflict. let's talk a little about who hezbollah are and why they are important in israel and gaza. hezbollah is the largest political and military force in lebanon operating as a party as well as a militia. it opposes israel and western powers operating in the middle east, and is heavily influenced by iran, its largest benefactor. it arms and trains its fighters. hezbollah�*s leader is lebanon's hassan nasrallah who as i mentioned is expected to break weeks of silence about israel and gaza later. for israel, hezbollah�*s stock of sophisticated missiles represents a much greater potential threat than hamas. but so at least, it doesn't appear that it has the appetite for direct conflict with israel. but of course the words of hassan nasrallah will be vital, to hear what he has to say in the next few hours, and of course reflect on it when it happens here on bbc news. in the last month or so, i've been here in israel and spent time in many part

israel or anywhere else. we have an obligation to respond to the and we will. >> houthis are entering the conflict and how do you get other countries -- rising opposition. >> whether it's lebanon, northern israel, southern lebanon, whether it's the west bank, whether it's anywhere in the region and the president has been clear in what he said publicly and privately and clear in some of the actions that we are taken that we are determine today deter any escalation. so with our partners as well we are making sure that gets through and it's not in anyone's interest, not in anyone's interest for this to escalate and i think some of the other parties involved recognize that but we will work on that every single day. >> what we've seen so far are yet discreet attacks. we respond as necessary including on our forces, our force who is are in the region in syria and iraq to prevent the resurgence of isil and should be in everyone's interest and you saw the answer no response to that. we are taking necessary steps to try to make sure that that happens. understandably, people are foe --focused on the day of and not just the day after. so i expect that those are conversations that we will

this was a direct assault on journalists just after... finishing their live broadcast from south lebanon. israely bombarded southern lebanon since october 8th. also lebanas resistant moment hezbollah has launched rocket and artillery attacks on israel in solidarity with the resistance in gaza and that includes the sunday attack a weapons factory in the shalomi region of the occupied territories. the european union foreign policy chief says the block is and growing animosity across the muslim world and beyond over israels and the waraza. joseph show more empathy for the loss of palestinian civilian lives. he warned that such ill feelings could undermine eu's diplomatic support for ukraine. he made a comments after his five-day trip to several countries in west asia. burell said that during his trip many arab activists criticized the 27 nation block for a stub a standard over the israeli war on gaza. time now for a special coverage and palestine so i'm inviting mona gand our correspondent to join us from. ramala, okay, mona, let's there have been recently, especially talking about israeli forces d

yesterday we had 16 rockets, according to israel, fired from a hamas armed wing in southern lebanon acrossn israel. remember that hezbollah is the main islamist armed group in lebanon but it is aligned with hamas and hamas has a military ring in southern lebanon which as well as blaming for the cross—border fire. it comes after days of skirmishes across the borders. let's take stock of the situation there. live now to tom fletcher, who's the former uk ambassador to lebanon. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. how concerned are you by this uptake in cross—border fire news. how concerned are you by this uptake in cross—borderfire between lebanon and israel in the past few days? —— how concerned are you by this uptick? i’m days? -- how concerned are you by this mick?— this uptick? i'm concerned, as are many great _ this uptick? i'm concerned, as are many great friends _ this uptick? i'm concerned, as are many great friends in _ this uptick? i'm concerned, as are many great friends in lebanon - this uptick? i'm concerned, as are many great friends in lebanon as| many great friends in lebanon

israel positions along the border areas in support of the resistance in gaza. now one of the latest attacks has bella fired rockets at israeli occupied kefer shova hills and southern lebanonays that yemen will continue with attacks on israel, raising the possibility of targeting israeli ships in the red sea. abdul malik said that will constantly monitor the movements of israeli ships, especially in babel manda and near yemani regional waters. he added that the emiment drone units will continue hitting targets inside the occupied territories. the ansar leader said that the us has repeatedly warned yemen against attacking israel, also strong rebuked number of arab and the muslim. nations for standing adal by in the face of the israel crimes and urged them to adopt a clear stance in the face of the genocide taking place in gaza. all right, now let's begin our special coverage on palestine joine me is our correspondent beirout mariah also with me is esha krishna swami journalist podcaster in medicine. good to see you ladies, let's begin with mariam in beirout, so we just had this news of hezballah taking some more uh relatality action and responding to the israeli crimes bein

attack was a direct. on journalists just after they finished their live broadcast from south lebanon. israelhern lebanon since october 8th. also lebanon's resistant moment hezballah has launched rocket and artillery attacks on israel in solidarity with the resistance in gaza. the european union foreign policy chief says the block is facing growing animosity across the muslim world and beyond. for its pro israel stance in the war on gaza, joseph that the eu should show more sympathy for the loss of palestinian civilian lives, he warned that such ill feelings could undermine the eu's diplomatic support. for ukraine, he made the comments after his five day trip to several countries in west asia. during his trip did many arab activist criticized the 27 nation block for its double standard over the israeli on ghaza. time now for special coverage on palestine, so allow me to invite ashanan, our correspondent who is standing by there in khans in gaza and and later on i'll be joined by professor nemmer. let's see if we can go to ashraf and khans and see what update he has for us. i shaf go ahead if

since this conflict started on the 7th of october, tensions between israel and lebanon have been risingborder marked here in red. hezbollah is a powerful political and military force in lebanon. it's backed by iran and designated a terrorist organisation by western states, israel, gulf arab countries and the arab league. and hezbollah and israel have a long history, including in 2006, when a full blown war broke out between the two. so what has hezbollah's response been since the war began? there have been attacks on both sides. now, if you take a look at this map, this is the border between lebanon and israel. analysts from geoconfirmed have been tracking these cross—border strikes by monitoring social media. now, the blue dots you can see here are strikes by israeli military and the red dots are the strikes by hezbollah. and this is a video released by hezbollah yesterday, claiming that it shows an attack on an israeli military base. by looking at the geography of the area, key road features and the shape of the buildings, we've been able to verify the location. and the israeli milita

of control because after the israeli army began striking lebanese journalists who work on the lebanon-israel after air strikes have begun on settlements located in the south of lebanon, now with attack drones, israel is attacking civilians, today we were at the site of the death of children and... the grandmothers of these girls, and indeed there are no military installations around, and the country road is being used civilians, are used by civilians, because on another road that connects small villages, actually driving from the main highway is even more terrible for civilians, since it passes very close to the position it’s not easy here, of course, did the parties have any comments on why this particular car was hit? i have already said , volodya, that it was not tel aviv, nor any other western structures or government entities that responded to the murder of children and women in southern lebanon. at the same time, as i understand, israel is using all the tools of military censorship; they say that one of the israeli journalists was brought to justice there. who showed the corpses of isr

the different areas that they could possibly be involved in, the key thing is right here, the israel-lebanonorder. on the side of the border you've got hezbollah and this would then -- if hezbollah got involved it would mean a second front in the war and that then means that israel would have to divide its forces even more between the south and the north. >> the u.s. as an ally to israel has tried to bolster its presence in the region, notably cnn has new reporting about drones in southern lebanon that are listening in, trying to detect any sign that an escalation by hezbollah might be imminent and also u.s. carrier groups in the mediterranean. >> yes, absolutely. you have both the gerald r. ford and eisenhower, both are conducting maneuvers right here in the eastern mediterranean so they are right off the coast of israel, lebanon and gaza. so they're doing that from the carrier perspective. now, the other thing to look at here, the drones that you mentioned earlier, this is flight 24 surveillance tracking of the drones, they are about -- these are the mq-9 reapers, there are six that we bel

witnessed up here today was one of the busiest days of airstrikes, rocket strikes from southern lebanon into israel. a warning, you might say, from iran-backed hezbollah militants inside southern lebanon. they've been firing into israel, northern israel for the last several days consistently every day. but this was the highest pace we've certainly seen. in fact, our team witnessed the iron dome missile defense system take out two of those rockets above our heads, though one of them came down and hit the main street of kiryat shmona, one of the communities up here as well. and if those missile strikes, those rocket strikes from southern lebanon were intended to warn israel away from more aggressive ground operations in gaza, it does not appear as what you're witnessing, what we're witnessing down in the south tonight, it does not appear that that warning held or is holding israel back. another sign of israel's preparations, we found ourselves in the midst of a special forces exercise today, live fire exercise in the north very close to the syrian border. some of the 70,000 idf forces now deployed to

thousands of people have left those villages and towns along the border, not not only here in lebanon, but also in israellooking at perhaps two main possibilities here. one, first, that hezbollah could declare war and this is the worst case scenario. i think this is unlikely to be the case. the second possibility is that we are going to see a very strong speech by hassan nasrallah against israel, probably against the americans, as well, who have been supporting israel in this war. that could lead to an escalation of the violence there along the border. i think this is perhaps the most likely possibility. this is according to people who know hezbollah, who have been talking to experts who have some contact and some knowledge about what hezbollah is planning to do. i think what is interesting also is that yesterday hezbollah claimed that it had launched 19 simultaneous attacks on israeli targets. we haven't had independent confirmation of that, but if this is the case, this marks the most intense wave of attacks from hezbollah on israeli targets. so, in many ways, escalation is already happening along the

part of the battlefield strategy just like a weapon. 1982 the israeli army attacked lebanon, the main goal of israelundations of the quasai government that the liberation organization had built in lebanon. on israel besieged west beirout, the liberation organization sent its forces to tunisia, yemen and algeria. in the midst of battle and the evacuation of troops, catastrophic event piled pressure on the bad days. the fata during the days of israel's attack on beirout, the archive of the palestinian film unit, which was compiled by khadijah, abu ali and was organized after spending many years after it was moved several times, it finally disappeared, and no trace of it has ever been found to date. in 1948, when the first arab israeli war broke out, some of the... palestinians who were living in the newly established territory of israel sought refuge in neighboring countries, but those who stayed established a society that is called the arabs of 48 or israeli arabs. the arabs who left in the occupied lands gathered in the city of nazareth, a place known as the arab capital of israel. in the early 80s,

and israel and fear that violence could escalate and lebanonflict so a lot of people were watching the speech yesterday and i think the most important thing that came out of the speech was he did not announce any intention to escalate those attacks, step up the campaign by hezbollah against the israeli military. he did leave the door open for more attacks, he said all options were on the table and he said the actions of hezbollah will be determined by what happened in gaza and by the actions of the struggle towards lebanon and hezbollah and he said the only way to prevent the conflict from spreading across the middle east was to stop the war in gaza. i think it was also important that he described those attacks that have been carried out by hezbollah is significant because he said this was forcing israel to deploy a large number of troops to its border with lebanon but again, there was no indication that hezbollah would be stepping up its attacks against the israeli military and i think the reaction that we have had from the biden administratio

our forces are watching everything that goes on across that lebanon israel border that is helping theurveillance i think is helping to keep a lid on it for the moment but it is still externally dangerous. arthel: it's dangerous, it is you are talking about hezbollah's military arsenal she can put the screen for me we got over 100,000 fighters up to one or 50000 rockets and missiles antiship antiaircraft antiarmor systems, a billion dollars in funding from my ron. 700 million from my ron so finally dr. grant what is your take on calls for humanitarian pause in this war? you have already mentioned the possibility of expanding you do not want it to happen but how high is the risk? what about humanitarian pause in the risk of expanding? >> right. everybody wants to see humanitarian relief get to the civilians in palestine who need it. israel said they're willing to do very brief pauses to allow the hostages to go out or something like that. we are not hearing about longer pauses at this point and in terms of escalation and what happens next is about combat success by israel, the presence

lebanon. and these pictures, apparently from an area in northern israel. tary says it has responded with artillery fire back towards southern lebanon. police say counter demonstrators and right—wing activists made up the majority of the 126 arrests. a short time ago i spoke to zoe billingham who served for constabulary and fire and rescue services. a number of objectives yesterday. first and foremost was that the armistice the remembrance commemorations around the cenotaph and in central london could pass off peacefully. as we know, in the morning, that was achieved. the metropolitan police also wanted to prevent serious disorder. in a sense the metropolitan police had 1850 officers on the streets, double the number of officers previously. they kept the pro—palestinian protesters away from the far right protesters. but as we saw, it was well covered on the media, there were scuffles and skirmishers, led by the far right protesters. there was some disorder. a number of arrests. but thinking about how badly wrong this potentially could have gone i think the m

the idf responds with fire, in addition to targets in lebanon, israel also attacked several militarytallations in syria, local media reported. meanwhile , a us strategic bomber was spotted in the middle east in pentana, they say the crew was carrying out a scheduled flight. and which could further complicate the already difficult situation in the middle east, an american drone was shot down off the coast of yemen, information has already been confirmed in the united states, the drone was reportedly attacked by the houthis, they in turn say it was a reconnaissance mission of the pentagon as part of military support israel. next, about an emergency meeting of the council of ministers for ukraine. let me remind you that the meeting was requested by moscow after massive shelling of donetsk by kiev militants. tactics. terror in the ssu was struck again when doctors arrived at the scene and rescued. the list of victims as a result of the attack included six people, more than fifty more were injured, but in the west this, like many other things, went unnoticed. night blindness, as our postp

we saw today, in fact, deterrence continues to hold on the israel and lebanon border, despite ongoing border skirmishes, those remain contained and hezbollah does not have an appetite for an all out war against israel that could engulf the region. >> yeah, without a doubt. those tit for tat skirmishes have not spread. what could make it move in that direction? >> well, mosrola was clear that the pathways continue to exist. there were two of them. one was that should israel move up, and move toward totally dismantling hamas's infrastructure in gaza, that could still be something that caused iran and hezbollah to enter the fight in a much more major way. the second pathway towards escalation, the potential israeli miscalculation on the lebanon-israel border. a mass casualty event on either side of the border that could get violence to spiral out of control. short of that, i think for many of us who were observing, waiting for the speech today, the take away is that because israeli deployment on that border, because of the american aircraft carriers o the coast of lebanon, hezbollah and

this is on israel's border with lebanon.a say three children and their grandmother have been killed by an israeli military strike on a car near the border. the israeli military said it had targeted a vehicle identified as suspect a transport for terrorists and was checking reports that civilians were inside. hezbollah said it had fired multiple rockets at northern israel in retaliation. live now to hugo bachega. could you bring us up today with the latest? so many concerns about this conflict escalating. what is the from where you are? escalating. what is the from where ou are? , ~ , escalating. what is the from where ouare? , ~ ,, ., , ., you are? yes, i think this shows how tense the situation _ you are? yes, i think this shows how tense the situation is _ you are? yes, i think this shows how tense the situation is along - you are? yes, i think this shows how tense the situation is along the - tense the situation is along the lebanon israel border. yesterday one of the worst incidents here in lebanon so far, four civilians
