they were very close, but we couldn't make it joining me now cnn international correspondent paula hancocks. paula, what can you tell us about where things stand today? >> well, paula, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of protesters were on the streets of israel pushing the israeli prime minister to sign a ceasefire deal. he is still acting defiant. the speech on monday where he said that it is up to hamas to make the concession. so despite the immense pressure on him at this point, he is digging in and saying he will not change his mind. now what he has said is that there needs to be israeli military stationed on the border between egypt and gaza. the philadelphi corridor saying that would prevent hamas re-arming and smuggling arms in. it is something that has created difficulties within his own cabinet, his defense minister even saying this is not necessary. sources close to these negotiations say that he is changing conditions when it comes to this particular deal. and we know that it is something that hamas will not agree to so despite the immense pressure that is building ins

paula hancocks. thank you. thousands of civilians in both israel and lebanon have had to flee their homes due to the cross-border attacks they daily occurrence now, really since october soon as nic robertson went to one israeli border town but the few remaining residents are desperate for a return to normalcy the lebanese border kiryat shimona, a shadow of its former self. most of its 25,000 residents evacuated last october silence and weeds, where once there were people almost all of the stores here, a shuttered frozen in time now for close to a year. and it feels as for lawn the some of the few people who stayed behind sound so now everything is empty. >> after 80 of empty offices, empty labs before october 7, we have had here in the upper galilee 72 startups from fungal plastic stuff, fake eggs. >> so ev, source hundreds of millions of investment dollars for israel up and coming. high-tech hub in the north, it's a very sad feeling because in each one of these offices, there were people intrapreneurs from all

the strike and musk denies its fighters were present in the area for more, let's go to cnn's paula hancocks in abu dhabi paula, you are following the latest developments. what is happening? >> well, i know this happened in the early hours of today. the early hours of tuesday, and it was in the al mawasi area which has been designated by the israeli military as a humanitarian zone. thousands of palestinians over the months of move to this area we'll be in a evacuated by the military to this area because they were operating elsewhere. they live in tents. there is scant food or water very little humanitarian aid but this is considered a safer area than, than most in gaza. but what has happened in the early hours, according to the gaza civil defense, they say that eyewitnesses tell them they were five strikes that they heard, and it has left three very large craters we see from images that those civil defense it's officials also volunteers are using their bare hands to try and get to people beneath the sand. the civil defense say they believe that entire families have been buried. they say at t

were joining us now is cnn's paula hancocks live from abu dhabi and a paula tell us the latest developmentsc we're hearing from both sides certainly doesn't give the impression of things at calming down anytime soon. in fact, over the weekend, we saw them most intense exchange of fire between hezbollah and israel that we have seen since the war in gaza started. now, we're hearing from the israeli side that these are extensive strikes, as you say, we've heard that this morning alone, there's been about 150 air force strikes on hezbollah targets. and we have been hearing from the israeli prime minister that one of his main war objectives is to make sure that tens of thousands of israeli evacuated you see, we've had to move from the border, are able to move back over the past few days, we have struck hezbollah with a series of blows. it dignified. imagine his blood didn't get the message. i assure you they will get the message. we are determined to return our citizens in the north to their homes safe collar, but no country can tolerate incoming fire against citizens incoming fire against and w

this is exactly what we're doing paula hancocks joins me now with more paula. >> these cross-border attacks, obviously continuing ramping up. what is the latest? >> well, anna, we have seen more cross-border strikes overnight we heard from the israeli military that they believed there was some 30 rockets and missiles that came from hezbollah into northern israel. and they say that they carried out dozens of strikes on hezbollah ties i'll get as well. so there's no sign of this calming down, certainly in the near term and especially when we hear from many israeli official that at the cabinet the security cabinet, the cabinet did vote and approve the fact that the military can increase the level of military activity pretty in coming days. now we've heard from the israeli military as well, saying that they are planning for the next phases. this according to the chief of staff of the idf, and there have been calls and text messages and to civilians in lebanon urging people to stay away by from where hamas operatives are operating. this in the woods of the israeli military and also talking about

now to cnn's paula hancocks, who's following developments from abu dhabi. so paula, in the wake of those device attacks, how is israel reacting here? >> well, kim, we did hear from the hezbollah chief hassan nasrallah last night he said that israel had crossed all red lines when it came to this attack, unsurprisingly condemning the attacks and that there were civilians that were affected it as well. and medical personnel with pagers. but what he said was acknowledged that there was a damage that was inflicted on hezbollah. he did say that the group the attacks on the group were unprecedented. he also said there's no doubt we have suffered a major blow clearly having to acknowledge that this was a very significant attack which would have had an impact on the group. he did say that the infrastructure was robust, it was intact, and the leadership were not affected. he said because they had older versions of the pages, we can't clarify whether that is in fact the case and they weren't affected, but he did point out that there would be retaliation. let's listen t

and cnn's paula hancocks joins me now, live from abu dhabi so paula, what is the latest on this intercepted missiles from lebanon after sirens sounded in tel aviv happened earlier. this wednesday morning, and the israeli military has now confirmed that that is the closest to the city that has been targeted by lebanon. >> we heard from the israeli military spokesperson saying that it was a heaven be and long missile and we understand also that it was shot down by one of the missile defense systems. israel has not the iron dome, which is the most widely used by the david's sling, which has a higher altitude in intercepting a missile so certainly this does appear as though it is somewhat of an escalation or at least a step ahead from what we're seeing in hezbollah road. but recent days we have been seeing a lot of short-range missiles. we had been seeing them targeting northern israel and in particular military installations what we have heard from hezbollah in their statement is that they were trying to target the masad headquarters near tel aviv saying that they were doing it in support of t

paula hancocks is in abu dhabi. well, still to come. >> pope francis is speaking out over israel's mounting attacks on lebanon as fears of a wider war in the middle east grow more coming up, stay with us you look at the news of the weekend as questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn that's too much but i want donald can you slice that i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn mom jeans. she passed them down to you but who pack them to her ancestry dna can show you the people in places they came from your genes are one of a kind. >> find out why with ancestry dna learn best when their hands on that's why we're donating science kits schools in need and helping teachers keep their classrooms protected by killing 99.9% of germs because little hands deserve bag protection lysol here for healthy schools 20 years of experience as an hr professional and i hit reached a ceiling so i enrolled in un gc. >> i would not be the person that i am today had it not been for the partnership with you and gc wash dishwasher

. >> and cnn's paula hancocks is following developments for us. she joins us live from abu dhabi so paula, what is the latest on those negotiations to try to reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal well, rosemary seen a senior biden administration official has given cnn the most detailed look so far at what this proposal looks like. >> another reason for doing so, you can only assume that shows the frustration that they are feeling with the process. and also we know there is frustration with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. now what this senior official has told us is that the deal is 90% done, saying that it is an 18 paragraph proposal and all four of those paragraphs have been agreed to and signed off on by both sides. now what they say is still the sticking points is as you you say, the exchange of prisoners for hostages and also the redeployment of forces in gaza. in recent days, we've had to press conferences from the israeli prime minister and in both of those, he has doubled down and pointed out how important it is but the i

during me now is cnn international correspondent paula hancocks. so paula, you've been tracking these talks after the bodies were discovered on saturday president biden here in the u.s. at that negotiators were on the verge of a deal. is it do you believe that to be true or is that overly optimistic? >> well alex it's interesting for recent weeks and months the optimism has been coming from the biden administration almost exclusively, they have been very positive in in the way that they believe these talks are going. speaking of being talking about the final deal he details the nuts and bolts of the talks, and they have been working level talks ongoing in cairo and then in doha to try and clear the final hurdle but we have also heard that from the u.s. side, a u.s. official saying that this potentially shows that hamas is not serious about the negotiations. the fact that they are killing hostages in their care at this point. so it's difficult to see whether or not this will make a big difference to the talks, the factors those talks have been ongoin

minister says the strikes in yemen show that for israel, quote, no place is too far we'll cnn's paula hancocks is live in abu dhabi with more on all of this. and paula, what further detail do we have at this stage, not least on the strike on the cola intersection as it is known, that is significant and it is something that we have not seen since october when these hostilities began. >> it is the fact that it is within the city limits that is significant. we have been seeing a number of israeli airstrikes in the southern suburbs of beirut. this is one of the hezbollah strongholds. it's where the hezbollah chief hassan nasrallah was assassinated. so that is not as a prize at this point that the fact that it was within the inner city limits is going to put much of beirut on edge. now we have footage from the early hours of this morning showing firefighters trying to put out a fire in one apartment in a multi-story apartment block, you see chaos on the streets and debris and damaged cars. now what we have also heard is from the pflp. this is the popular front for the liberation of palestine. one o

indeed, let's get to abu dhabi where my colleague paula hancocks is standing by. you've been monitoring the very latest now that there have been further israeli strikes on lebanon paula, who's been targeted and where information from the israeli military that they have targeted yet another hezbollah commander. >> this one, nabil co-workers ahead of the preventative security unit, according to the idf, they say that he is close to the top of the leadership in hezbollah. so just another example of how many of these commanders, the israeli military is targeting at this point. now it comes, of course, just two days after hassan nasrallah, the head of hezbollah, was targeted as well. and there have been commanders of different parts of this group being assassinated over recent weeks, which the israeli military says is weakening and has severely weakened hezbollah itself. now, at this point, we do understand that there is sides of the border. we know that israel has been targeting. it says a number of infrastructure facilities also, a number of launches, and also they sa

and moya really should planet earth itself our paula hancocks is tracking the latest developments and joins us live now from abu dhabi. paula. >> good morning to you. you heard the iranian president there, obviously they they play a significant role in how this escalates or doesn't, what do you hear in his words and what does it say about what we might see next >> see has below really is key for iran. it's not just an iranian proxy, it is a buffer zone in many ways for tehran, so they will be watching very closely what is happening. we have heard some strong words from tehran, but we haven't seen at this point any action and that is what everyone is looking out for, whether any of these other iranian proxies are going to get involved in a significant way when it comes to these cross-border attacks between hezbollah and israel. now israel says that just in the last 12 hours, there's been about 100 launches from hezbollah and they say that they have carried out dozens of airstrikes. the aerial bombardment is continuing. we're hearing from the israeli side, they are calling on citizens a

. >> well, cnn's paula hancocks joins us now from abu dhabi with more and paul, obviously, the u.s.o cairo, but not too much optimism for this trip well, that's right, anna, just the fact that he's not going to be stopping in israel on this particular trip shows that there isn't expected to be any breakthrough or any particular details that he will need to then convey to the israeli sides. >> now what we've heard from two biden administration officials is that national security security chiefs do not have an imminent plan to put forward a proposal of this hostage ceasefire deal to the u.s. president, meaning that it is not ready at this point which really shows how far these, talks stalled. we heard from officials just earlier this month that they believed it was going to be imminent, that they had this bridging proposal that both hamas and israel were going to be able to agree to. now the official say that they want to wait until they are secure in knowing that hamas could say yes to this deal at the end of the process but at this point, they're not confident of that. and there are

. >> paula hancocks joins me now, live from abu dhabi. i'm now all of this taking place against the backdrop of efforts to reach some sort of an agreement on a ceasefire deal at where do those talks stand? how might they? the impacted well, michael, as far as we know, those talks were still ongoing at least at a working level in doha, qatar, they had been taking place in cairo where we had heard some quite positive noises from the united states? >> it has to be pointed out though that really the biden administration was the most optimistic publicly, and vocally when it came to these talks. but they said that they were in the talking about the final details and the nuts and bolts of the torque. so potentially giving some hope that a deal was near. but the fact is we have been hearing this for months now as you heard from that statement, you just mentioned from the hostage and missing families forum saying a deal has been on the table since may. and now this is referring back to the u.s. president joe biden, having vocally and publicly supp

the strike hamas denies its fighters were present in were p area for more, let's go to cnn's paula hancocks is tracking developments and pull it is very difficult to verify israel's claim that it took steps to prevent harm to civilians. but what more do we know about the circumstances of the attack and the rescue? effort underway right now well, cristina, we understand that there is still a search and rescue operation by the gaza civil defense. >> they have said that it's it is very difficult because they don't have the heavy equipment necessary for this kind of operation. it's very sunday ground. we know that there were tents that were set up in that area. a humanitarian zone, it was called by the israeli military at where many thousands of palestinians had moved to after they were evacuated. from other areas. now what we're hearing from the ground, from the palestinian side is that there were some 200 tents believed to be in that particular area. and at least 20 of them have completely disappeared. we're hearing from gaza's civil defense the eyewitnesses said they were around five strikes

soon as paula hancocks joins me now from abu dhabi, this as nick was describing, does feel like a step change it's certainly a step up from what we have seen from hezbollah over recent days. the fact that they have for the first time being able to try and target tel aviv, the israeli military saying that they were close to tel aviv with that surface too. surface missile it of course, does feel like things are escalating now we did hear from the israeli defense minister, yoav galanti went to visit troops along the border just yesterday and he was talking to those troops saying that hezbollah has been badly affected, saying that hezbollah is different today from the organization that we knew just a week ago referring there to the fact that there were those attacks on the pagers and the walkie-talkies of hezbollah just last week, he also said they have suffered sequence of blows to their command and center and a command and control the fighters. the means to fight and they are all severe blows, but also pointing out that they are still intent on destroying the israeli military and they ha

horrors not happen again, i believe that our strategy is the best way to achieve both goals cnn's paula hancocks joining me now, paula, a lot of this revolves around benjamin netanyahu's insistence on sticking to an israeli president's at presence in the philadelphi corridor how much is that the coming now, a major obstacle to securing this ceasefire deal you're right christina. i mean, the past two press conferences we've heard from the israeli prime minister just in the past few days, he has doubled down and said that it is imperative for the israeli military to stay on that border between gaza and egypt. and that's despite his defense since minister, we understand from multiple reports saying that it is not necessary that if you stick to that rule, then you are not going to have a deal. hamas will not agree, and the hostages will not come home. now, a senior biden administration official has spoken to cnn and has said about this this insistence from netanyahu that it is not constructive, adding quote staking out concrete positions in the middle of a negotiation isn't always particularly helpf

. >> the idf says two people were slightly injured and cnn's paula hancocks joins me now, live from abu dhabi. paula, we are learning about new israeli strikes into lebanon. what can you tell us about that rosemary, we've heard from the israeli military that overnight the air force did strike about 75 targets in southern lebanon and also in the bekaa valley saying that they were focusing on weapons storages also launched does that they say were ready to fire and also hamas, excuse me, hezbollah operatives. >> now another announcement from the military, which is fairly unusual that this point in the war in gaza, there were also launches from, khan younis in gaza. in gaza, we hear from the israeli military. they say there were several launches from that area. that's in the southern part of the gaza strip and they were intercepted. so even as all eyes are on the northern israel border with lebanon, there is still fighting ongoing in gaza itself. now what we've heard from the u.s over the past 12 hours or so so is really a push to try and secure a 21 day ceasefire on these israeli lebanon b

cnn's paula hancocks is following all the developments from abu dhabi. so paula, let's start there with biden's comments. what more can you tell us? >> okay. and this was a protest back on september 7 excuse me, sick when a turkish american activist was shot and killed. now we did hear from the u.s. president, initially that he said apparently it was an accident. the gun, the fire may have ricocheted but now there has been an internal an initial investigation by the israeli military, which they say they are sharing with the biden administration. he has been more strong in his statement in condemning what happened, saying, quote i am outraged and deeply saddened by the death of a.i. eygi, the shooting that led to her death is totally unacceptable. there must be full accountability and israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again. now we have actually heard some stronger statements from those around the vice president, kamala harris, saying that shooting is unacceptable would also saying that it raises legitimate questions about

paula hancocks joins us from abu dhabi and elliott first to you, what more are you learning about israel'sy, what has stated our its strategic goals when it comes to hezbollah paula, look, we know that israel's main strategic goal or stated strategic goal, is to create the conditions that enable the 60,000 plus israelis that have been displaced from their homes in the north of israel to enable them to return to their homes. >> they've not been able to do so for the best part of a year since hezbollah began firing on israel on october the eighth in solidarity with the hamas-led terrorist attacks, a day before. so that's the stated goal, but i think so spectacular have been some of the tactical achievements by israel in terms of the pager explosions, the walkie-talkie explosions. and then the assassination of hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah. and much of hezbollah's military top brass that it will feel that now it's the time to try to degrade hezbollah not once and for all, but certainly for the foreseeable future. and at the same time, remove what is effectively iran's first line of defe

pay a heavy price for this, a very heavy problem joining me now cnn international correspondent paula hancocks, apollo. what is the latest in israel well, we are seeing the israeli prime minister digging in and being defined as you say, when you see hundreds of thousands of protesters on the streets of israel, according to organizers for the second day in a row, calling for him to sign up to the hostage ceasefire deal. >> that is on the table. he is saying though it is not israel, that should be making concessions, it is hamas that should be making concessions, digging in and saying he will not change his mind. now of course, this does throw into doubt the talks that are ongoing at the moment. but when you listen to the fury and anger on the streets of israel you wonder how much longer this could go on putting pressure on him, although he has withstood this pressure and criticism for months now, let's listen to some of the voices of those protesters they need they need us to stop everything and make sure there's a deal on the table. >> this is the only way they can hear if the police stop ever

. >> let's go to abu dhabi where paula hancocks has been standing by with our updates. i mean, paula naftali bennett, you heard him there and he reminded us again this was the conflict that israel has prepared for, for so many years now something, you know so well from your experience, there what does it seem that israel's intent on doing now in terms of preparing for an escalation that would include ground troops there's no doubt that the public signaling is that they are preparing for a ground invasion. this is what they want hezbollah to believe. this is certainly what they have to prepare for as well. in case it does become a necessity one israeli senior israeli official though tells cnn that it's not their preferred option and we remember back in 2006, just how damaging that war was to israel and just how difficult it was at the time. and certainly even more difficult for those civilians on the lebanon side as well. so it's something that israel has to think about very carefully, because what they are doing at this point is the aerial bombardment they say and we've

leave for quite some time joining me now to discuss that, is cnn international correspondent paula hancocks. so paula, can you give us a sense of where these talks stand just yesterday we heard president biden say that negotiators we're on the verge of a deal well, alex, it's interesting because we have been hearing in recent days and weeks, some very optimistic signs from the biden administration in particular, we know that the working level talks had moved from cairo to doha they were on going and the biden administration had suggested that they were working on the final details, the nuts and bolts of a particular deal. >> but we're certainly not hearing that optimism when it comes comes two other members of those negotiations. in fact, we have heard that there is some quite public disputes within israel itself, within the cabinet, between the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister. you have gallant becoming ever more public after last thursday at a cabinet meeting, the prime minister said that there should be a an israeli military presence on the border between egypt

the un says, the three people accused by the idf were in fact, teachers cnn's paula hancocks is following developments from abu dhabi. so paula, what more are we learning about this isn't the first time that this has happened, that that israel has accused unrwa employees of also being members of hamas in this particular occasion, though, we understand from from unwra that six of their employees killed in this israeli air strike 18 killed in all and they have given the names, they have given the details of those that were killed in the airstrike saying that they were teachers before the war began, saying they are also well known in the local community. >> one of their colleagues within the same facility that was hit, said that they had been distributing food earlier that morning and then they had sat down to lunch when the bombs hit. now this particular individual who didn't give her unable to be on the record with her name and she's not allowed to speak to the media, said that no resistance fighters existed or operated from the school. and what israel is claiming is an unacceptable lie. n

our paula hancocks joins us now from abu dhabi with more paula. tell us, what are you learning well, i know this happened on sunday. >> we understand that there was jordanian man who was driving a 20 and had been a truck driver for some time bringing commercial goods from jordan into the west bank via this crossing. he stopped at the crossing. we understand he exited his vehicle and then began shooting. he killed three civilians, three border crossing employees before he was killed himself now the israeli military has published a photo of the handgun that he had used. we know that there has been an investigation started according to the jordanian ministry of interior, they say at this point they believed that he was acting alone and now he's a jordanian citizen. he lived just i solve a man, his family has said they're very surprised at what had happened but his brother did say that he had been very angry about what was happening in gaza and believes that the war in gaza may have been a motivating factor in deciding to carry out this attack. and it

we must take out those weapons soon paula hancocks joins me now with more. >> just bring us up to up-to-date. first, paula, on the latest barrages coming from both sides >> max, so we certainly have seen a lot happened in the early hours of tuesday as well. the israeli military saying dozens of rockets came from hezbollah into northern israel. they say there were no injuries as far as they can tell, but they are putting out a number of fires where some of those missiles were not intercepted and did hit open ground. and we also know that they have said that they have been carrying out strikes on hezbollah targets in southern lebanon and also in bell back. now, we understand from the israeli military that they have been telling lebanese citizens to move away from any areas where they believed that hezbollah operatives are in the process of firing against israeli towns and air bases in northern israel. they also say that they are concerned that hezbollah is hiding ammunition, is hiding missiles inside civilian infrastructure, inside civilian homes. there was a briefing from the israeli military

efforts to destroy the state of israel thrill and murdered civilians in support of that aim cnn's paula hancocks is covering this for us live from abu dhabi. and paula, we know this charge targets six hamas leaders as those saying that, but three of whom are already dead. so what are the chances of this coming to anything given that the remaining three are in hiding? >> well, it's a very good question, christina, him when you consider that the hamas leader yahya sinwar is believed to be underground in a tunnel somewhere in gaza. it's very hard to see how they will be held accountable, but it is something that the department of justice so has decided was necessary. it's the first criminal step that they've taken to try and hold those responsible for october 7 accountable. now, it does focus on those attacks where more than 40 american citizens we're killed, there was more than, or at least ten american citizens taken hostage as well. but it does span several decades. so we have heard in this complaint that there are several decades of alleged terrorist attacks against american nationals and again

says more than 12,000 displaced palestinians i've been sheltering at the defunct school cnn's paula hancocks joins me now, paul, or this isn't the first time of schools being hit. of course now max, this is the fifth time that this particular school has been hit this year alone. now we know from unrwa, there were some 12,000 people. those palestinians who have been displaced, evacuated from other areas, moved on from their homes that were sheltering in this particular area. it's been used as a shelter really since october last year. it hasn't been used as a school for some time. so what we know from those on the ground, from the gaza civil defense and also from the u.n unit. is that the two air strikes hits in this particular facility. we know according to local officials that some 18 died and about 44 or more were injured. now we do know that also unwra staff were among those killed at least six, according to the u.n. group. they say that the head of the shelter with unrwa was killed. also those who were trying to give out humanitarian aid to those in the area. now we have been seeing this

paula hancocks, she's in abu dhabi. first of all, this fear. of a ground invasion into lebanon and what that actually symbolizes how likely is it based on what the general was saying? >> well, max, certainly the public messaging is that it is imminent. certain now of course, a lot of this could also be to show what could happen if hezbollah were not to pull back or if there were not to be some kind of a ceasefire proposal. and that is what the u.s is trying to do at this point, they say they have countries in europe, they have some countries in asia, also here in the region that are supporting this 21 day ceasefire plan. now, we've heard from one senior us official, they've called it an important breakthrough as to whether or not hezbollah and israel would sign up for this when you are hearing these public statements, for example, from the israeli military chief is an unknown. we have heard from the u.s. officials that both sides know that the contours of this deal, they have been briefed on them and they are also optimistic about the fact that

that the 11 months of death and destruction they've watched in gaza is now far closer to home paula hancockscnn, abu dhabi about a sunny man who lives in toronto has been arrested and charged with plotting to attack jews in new york city officials say the attack was planned for the anniversary of the october 7 terror attacks in israel, u.s. justice department alleges that 20-year-old mohammad, it shows up khan was going to act in the name of i.s.i.s khan, apparently discussed it's plans on an encrypted messaging app, but unknown to him, he was speaking to undercover law enforcement officers. he was rested in canada on wednesday while making his way toward the u.s. border, he faces terror charges in both canada and the u.s. after the break, a former aide to two new york governors is being accused of spying for china wants to the chinese have to say about it, not much the details coming up. please stay with us one a next level, clean suisse with the whoa of listerine it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than brushing and flossing alone, get a next level, clean

cnn's paula hancocks, is following developments from abu dhabi. and as ever, is difficult to get the exact circumstances figured out here right, max, and it's not the first time that we've had two very differing accounts from israel and also from unrwa about what exactly has happened. >> this is an accusation that israel has made in the past as well, that this was a compound at a facility that used to be used as a school. it's currently according to the un housing, about 12,000 displaced palestinian civilians. we did hear from an raf. they gave the names of the six who had been killed of their employees saying they were all teachers before the war. they were now helping those excuse me, those displaced palestinians on the ground now, one of the colleagues of those killed said that they had been distributing aid earlier in the day, and that they had just sat down to lunch when the bombs hit. she spent as a fight though, no resistance fighters existed or operated from the school. what israel is claiming is an unacceptable lie. now what we've heard f

here's what us president joe biden had to say on sunday for breaking we're still pushing hard paula hancocks, she's in abu dhabi and there are some warnings going out to people across lebanon from the idf apparently that they're telling civilians to move away from areas where they know that hezbollah operatives are there also accusing hezbollah of hiding weapons and ammunition in civilian homes and telling those civilians that they should move away as well. >> now, for the first part, it could be quite tricky for some civilians because hezbollah is or was known for its secrecy that was obviously violated last week by the israeli military. but people would not necessarily know if they are living next door to hezbollah operatives. but certainly what we're hearing from the israeli military, and we heard from the idf chief of staff is that they are prepared for the next steps and they are planning to take them in the next few days. so it certainly does not appear that this is going to be calming down any time soon. it appears as though israel does have a plan and we heard that plan briefly from

let's now turn to paula hancocks live for us. in abu dhabi paula, what are the implications of the recovery of these six hostages considering the circumstances that idf soldiers were, i guess within reach of rescuing them what. does this now mean for the prime minister benjamin netanyahu well, anna, there was a huge amount of pressure on the israeli prime minister already before this news emerged and he appeared able to withstand it, able to ignore it and continue on his roots when it comes to this ceasefire hostage deal. >> now, as elliot mentioned, there, there has been some significant disagreement between the prime minister and the defense minister when it comes to trying to get this deal done, that the fact that the military man in the cabinet is saying but they don't need israeli troops along that border. the philadelphi corridor between egypt and gaza for the first six weeks. so the first phase of this three-phase hostage deal is significant because it is prime minister netanyahu. and the more far right elements of his cab

will cnn's paula hancocks live in abu dhabi with more on what is happening in the region and pull it. both on lebanon and within the city confines of beirut. for the first time since this assault began. and on houthis thousands of miles away in yemen. what further details do we have on what is happening now becky, it really shows that israel is widening its reach when it comes to this conflict at this point, the fact that this strike was within the inner suburbs of beirut it's certainly going to have people in the lebanese capital on edge up until this point, we have seen a number of strikes in the southern suburbs which is where the hezbollah strongholds are. >> but certainly in this more, in the area is going to be a concern now, this particular one we saw in the early hours of of this morning, monday morning, you saw firefighters trying to put out the fire in one particular apartment in a multi-story apartment block. now, we heard also from a palestinian militant group that they had three members of their group killed in that particular strike. this is the popular front for the lib

action been recorded in history as the full accomplices in the execution of the hostages oh, paula hancocks joins us now, live from abu dhabi and journalist elliott gotkine joins us from london, great to see you boys. elliott, let's start with you. tell us what more are you learning? >> we know that the idf announced that they had discovered a number of bodies on saturday. they announced on saturday evening. and then we've had more details dripping through. they were discovered in a tunnel underground in the rougher area during fighting aboveground. the bodies were taken back into israel, were identified and the families of those six people that were kidnapped on october the seventh, five of them from the nova music festival that was taking place just outside the gaza strip. and one of them from kibbutz be'eri, as she was visiting her parents, both of whom were murdered that day. this this is the information that has been put out. now, are you gave the statement there from the white house has also been a statement from vice president kamala harris secretary state anthony blinken has put out

minister's office says it will continue discussions on the proposal cnn's paul hancocks is following developments from abu dhabi. paula. so do we know where things stand a ceasefire proposal that the u.s. >> just announced and there's ten countries across the world behind this proposal as well. and the way that senior us officials were putting this to us was that this had been seen by both sides. so by hezbollah and by israel thrilled that's that it was an optimistic reception that this was going to be publicized but then we did see the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu throwing cold water on it. there were reports that there was an imminent ceasefire to be signed and he rejected those through the prime minister's office saying that they are simply incorrect also pointing out that he's pushing the idf, the israeli military, to continue what they are doing is southern lebanon fighting with full force. now, there was some confusion among the biden administration at these comments. there was somewhat of an assumption that it may have been more for a domestic audience. the fact that the far right elements of netan
