four success of exclusions were heard this evening from the direction of the south. eastern uh damascus due to the interception of an israeli aggression. the syrian ministry of defense stated that at 9:35 p.m. today, wednesday, the israel aggression carried out an aggression from the direction of the occupied syrian jalan, targeting some sites in some points in the vicinity of damascus our air defenses uh intercepted the aggression and chop down some of the missiles, well unfortunately some of the missiles reach their targets. the initial reports indicated that the aggression targeted two sides between sayid city and hajera town. the two sides were were targeted with two waves of missiles causing loud explosions very loud. this time was really big explosion. big fire was reacted also which indicate that israel used highly expl explosive ammunition, fire fighting teams and the ambulances rushed to the place uh and amids the reports of civilians civilian injuries, there's no marters, thank god, only injuries and some material damages. now this aggression and the latest aggressions as well

and reports of israeli strikes south of damascus. the issue is this moves into a wider war o now our nbc news ch security and diplomacy analyst. nice to have you on. let's start with helping us understand the real strategic purpose behind the strikes and how will we really know if they were effective? >> there are two purposes at play here, laura. one is tactical. it is to destroy as much as possible. reduce the ability of the militias to strike the u.s. the strategic purpose is to deter iran from further ininn citemet of houthis. the message delivered. >> admiral, the president said yesterday the u.s. does not seek conflict in the middle east or anywhere else in the world. that is the challenge for this white house for this president to retaliate without this turning into a wider war. how concerned should we be? >> he has to sail a narrow sea and tight channel here. on one siside, if he doesn't do enough, iran will go after international shipping and threaten allies and partners in the region. if he does too much, peter, we are off

just hours after these strikes from overnight the syrian government says the israelis did hit south of damascus, that was an area not hit by the could you and the israelis wanted to trying to hours later where there is a strong presence of iran and the revolutionary guard. >> of course there would be no sensitivity about striking targets in syria and four of the seven were in syria and three in a rack. thank you for starting us off. now let's talk about president biden planning the next phase, how did the administration come to this decision? >> it cannot be underscored enough how complicated and complex a decision this was for president biden. simply because of the wake that this kind of action carries. we know from sources familiar that he had concerns among many was taking action like this. it was about the hostage deal that so many have high hopes to be able to create between hamas and israel. we have reported extensively on those talks in europe last weekend, to seal the deal and we know after advisors eased concerns for the president, he finally made this decision on this response first.

then just hours later, reporting syria of the israelis targeting iranian revolutionary guard -- south of damascus. so, across the piece, across the region, these iranian- backed forces are being targeted by the u.s. or its allies. i think frankly, you can see the biden administration showing -- whole trying not to have this escalate, but it is at the same time a very, very tense situation here. >> my friend, thank you for incredibly long hours you working to make this clear to us. keir simmons in -- iraq, we're checking in with you later in the show as well. right, joining me now is a democratic senator tim kaine of virginia. he's a member of some important committees here in the senate armed services and the foreign relations committee. senator, i want to pick up right from where here left off. here saying that it appears the united states is trying to achieve its objective and sending a message to these iranian-backed militias to not get involved and certainly not attack u.s. installations in troops. at the same time, to not escalate the into a regional war. starts to become very blurry as what

hours later, reports said that israel carried out a strike on the revolutionary guard south of damascus. the risks here, there are many risks but the real risks are or that it's an escalation that leads to more escalation into fuels wider war in the region. conversely, tehran doesn't get the message and back off of its strategic goals in the region. >> raf, they're picking up on cues about the escalation of this. you have the u.s. sending a clear signal, or rockies responding with the iranians meddling in the background. what is anticipated by the administration of how this moves forward? do they see this as a one and done, you hit us, we responded, don't kill americans as kira just noted. or is there concern or preparation for potential escalation going forward as this blistering attack as keir just noted, is elevating the game for iran, iraq and the u.s.? >> michael, you saw the president saying in his statement overnight, this is the beginning of the u.s. response which will continue. u.s. officials have been telling nbc news consistently since sunday that this is likely to be a mult

even hours after this operation, we heard from, in syria, reports of israeli strikes south of damascusian revolutionary guard operatives there. so, it just gives you a picture of how widespread the iran influence is in this region, and that is a problem, and the question that the u.s. really hasn't addressed with this operation overnight. and more stages, but i suspect that this is sailor-limited operation, despite its size. >> nbc's keir simmons for us and iraq. thank you. let's bring in as i could if the rector of the mccain institute, evelyn farkas. she is the former senior adviser to the supreme allied commander for europe. and the former deputy assistant secretary defense for russia ukraine and eurasia. >> i want to pick on gears reference to the iraqi administration protest, which is blistering and in strong diplomatic terms. but they said here. but the interesting part for it was the fact that the -- was summoned, and we don't have, right now, and ambassador in place to be that u.s. physical presence, if you will, because the showers affairs does not have the kind of authority t

just hours after that operation overnight, reports in syria that the israelis struck a location south of damascus to hit an operative from the iranian revolutionary guard. so, from here, it does look increasingly like when it has been really a shadow war with iran is escalating into an open conflict with iran. now, that of course is exactly what the biden administration is trying to avoid. that is why i think actually these strikes have been limited whilst they are hoping that they are sending a powerful enough message to tehran. they clearly were powerful strikes. but fundamentally, another aspect of these, you know alex, is that the reach of iran, many americans won't have paid attention. the extraordinary reach of iran in their facilities, their proxies in this region, we are really getting a spotlight on that as a result of these strikes and also has a result of what has not been hit, just an unsustainable, there multiple places inside syria that are run by the iranian revolutionary guard that were not struck, but haven't struck in the past by the israelis. that for example is why the israeli

just this morning, we heard about another strike south of damascus. according to reports, targeting an iranian revolutionary guard operative over there. so that is what the israelis are very, very concerned with. you have got to point out that ultimately this operation that we're seeing by the u.s. overnight, and we're likely to see more stages, so far it really has been limited to sending a message, don't kill americans. it is not trying to really address the -- over the many recent years, the growing strength of iran in the region. and understandably so, perhaps, because that is how you get to an explanation, but it leads to an open question about what you do about the strategic goals of tehran. >> keir simmons, invaluable, thank you so much for all of your reporting from there. thanks. and joining us now, msnbc chief international analyst, former nato supreme allied commander admiral james tv this. admiral, thank you so much for being with us on a special edition, we can addition of our show. let's talk about the targeting, the first phase, the com

damascus are ready. to response actions. our correspondents from the conflict zone , alexander belibov and sergei pashkov, have details. last night, the largest city in the southtrip, rafah, came under the most powerful bombing of the israeli air force in recent weeks. victims of strikes on the block azhabura, according to arab media, killed at least 100 people, and about 230 more were injured. the scale of the strikes suggests that the idf is preparing to use in rafah the same tactics that it used before in gaza itself and in other cities of the palestinian enclave: first, level city blocks with air strikes to the ground, and then lead troops and carry out a cleanup. netanyahu's appetite is growing with more murder, expansion and war crimes, all of which he continues to do with impunity. rafah is the last one standing large population. point in the enclave, where idf ground forces have not yet entered. in addition, this city is the main center through which humanitarian aid enters the sector. now there are about 1,300,000 people here, and these people simply have nowhere to run further. the situation around rafah could have much more serious consequences for
