u. s. air force targeting locations that have been used according to both u. s. and e. rocky sources that have been used in launching both missiles and the drones to target us and coalition forces at the minute treat facilities in iraq and syria. on the other hand, here in baghdad, the government has it that condemned the tax, the spokesman of iraq, soon a, the ottoman forces. it stated that the, the a, the slides, the usa dislikes of violation over iraq suffering t, undermining xerox efforts to achieve this debility. and probably that would, they could drag a walk into the agent and to further it instability way. it's a complex business. so let's try it on the level of bed without correspondence of and you have ideas you've been to the region many times of the at. so let's bring up a map. we can see the geographical context of this because it's important with what's going on. right? absolutely, so if you look at this, not fits, you've already got iran, iraq, syria, and lebanon, while united states, the thing is not at ward and them, at least the good is reading and back groups being targeted in iraq. if you look at the provinces fed viola, so that the about and innovate is where they've been operating. and they came to this prominence during the fight against iceland, where they were being supplied by various actors. and then we are very crucial in the fight against ice elizabeth and again, it acted as a front end component of iran regional strategy as well. so what the united states have hit a targets in bar province in the resort in syria. and if you look sort of south towards that map is that jordan is in, in a ton of is with the american soldiers were killed as bad. so it's a, it's a complicated spectacle for these groups that are operating, core, ideologically, and militarily aligned to run. but it's not clear how much operational control is there on has over them. so it is important for the united states to show its people that it is going after these groups. but it appears that these are calculated strikes against those groups and an outpost where it wouldn't essentially cause a change reaction, right? so yes, the usa that these would be the measure it attacks, right? absolutely. so if you look at who is being killed, so there be so far we bought, seen any major lead is off the most of the various functions that are linked with iran. the biggest of them, the popular mobilization force and force has the hash, the sharpie, as it's known, which is now under the command of the rocky prime minister. but whether it reports to the 5 minutes is a completely different thing. but it is so intricately tied to the security aspect of, of these countries. you've heard the statement from the city and defense of industry saying that it's civilians and military personnel were killed the rock and city a boat saying that this at it kind of contract the counter terrorism operations that, that, that are being carried out in the region. so it's not just complicated because of you're going to see it very, it's alignment to various groups at all. so because of that stretch that it was, it's not just to us personalize well, but i did it on hoops the device. okay. we've got about 45 seconds will so as i might say, what are the implications of this and the challenges of it that seem expire, but so far it as, as you said in united states, the saying that it is the beginning of this, it's operations. it appears that so far, but they've had as a measured response, it's best that they have not gone off the targets, which would immediately make it wrong. vitalia dorothy be in a position that will have to so it is as of now 8 hours, 10 hours into the strikes that that. com has prevailed so far. there's been some counter measures by various groups, but it is out of the ordinary because since october 7th, since this escalation in the ward gaza, they have been more than a $150.00 attacks on us and coalition bases and personnel in iraq and syria. so it was, it was bound to happen, but some of us service been, have been killed. but it appears that a cooler heads of prevailing as of now, and it doesn't seem to be escalating towards. but all region in act as only leaders have said that if this persists, if you continue to target groups beyond the boundaries beyond the borders of various countries, it could have unintended consequences and may be out of the control of all of these countries. all right, well we'll see how it opens up. that's great. contacts for us is almost like stop. thank you. now the us has reportedly launched 3 strikes and you happen to see fight to say they have east of the city of sata on saturday morning. the writing back to feeds have been attacked and shipped to the red sea in protest against israel's will. on garza, the well on the ground and goes is ready. forces have killed at least 15 palestinians, and 3 strikes in the central and southern parts of the strip. most of those killed in the attacks on the ballot and rough with families from displaced displays from other cities. more than $27100.00 piloting to be killed in his radio titles goes the strip of the they've been nearly 4 months of boil. many fed what's coming next . israel has announced it will advance its ground offensive to rafa, which is the southern lace corner of the strip. and it borders egypt is already over. crowded is more than half the population of $2300000.00 people fled there and such a safety supplies are running low in the united nations to describe the situation in russia as a pressure cooker of despair. indeed it says that people are routinely going without food and when meals are available that charge the kitchens, the wait for a plate of food can last hours. michael soon sherry has this report. it's a long wait for men, women, and children, scrambler, to get their bolts filled with what ever is being served. so my love to go home, chat the kitchen, disliked. these are struggling to see the growing number of displace palestinians and dropped for the city is cramped. with more than half of cost us population of nearly $2.00 and a half 1000000 people, we came to rough off on $1015.00. i'm here we line up for food from 12 pm, and sometimes we get to of to 2 hours. children have defend for themselves. the united nations children's agency says an estimate of 17000 minus, unaccompanied, or separated from the families, the nightstands here for food every day. because we don't have any at home. this, this place mother was diagnosed with cancer at the time of a child's book, just before the war started. she and her children have had to survive on one meal a day for weeks now. but today is a good day to having the 1st big mean in weeks. it includes rise beans and so not in the hudson, and the soon as i gave good, we didn't have any need to know some generous people who gave us rice and beans today. i don't know who they are, but we agreed for some families that having to eat and move forward or to survive. a trickling into garza from to border crossings is only a fraction of what's needed as well as accuse a few things, television as a weapon. the full by blocking civilian access to food and water, that he's got 5 minutes high and increasing each day. we've persistent to steal it is industry to monitor it and access, palestinians and casa, experiencing most of ation. and those with kate is ready bowman's fear. they will die of hunger on the consumption of these. i'll just see how i, let's go to rafa live, know, southern gaza, honey. my mood is the for so sir, how many 1st up? just tell us from your experience between all of the reporting on the story you're living it day today. how difficult is it to find food and fresh water in rockford right now? the yes, well a so far it's and quite difficult and it's increasingly become more it's challenging . and each passing, they were looking at over crowded roughly here with more than $1900000.00 displays, palestinians been filtering and run by citizens. the beginning of the work. and more people are lean towards zone and han unison to send drugs that mail it from refugee, kansas, all the crammed in this, a small part of, of the gods. the 1000000 rough i said the part in residential buildings, the other, the vast majority are intense kinds and evacuation zone and my wife and that's western part of, of asked to do that. doesn't have any infrastructure or any, any incredible line of resources to help people compatible living in the difficult living condition. but so far over crowded real fast truck goes day to day to find food and a drink couple water. the vast majority of the water here is contaminated, is leading into discredit with diseases and particularly among children. and those would have complications like a pregnant women, as well as those are breast feeding. but also the struggles to get food here is becoming very visible. there is a famine going on here, hardly because people do not have the ability to purchase this, the kind of food that they want on the top of that there's also a trickle amount of food available here, either in the market or in shops or even if from a, from what have be not allowed into the cost of so far, it doesn't and not nothings to be in, meet the needs, the greater needs of each passing be of this place and largely traumatized population and rough i, city and honeys, is ready for us as we will say, they moving the movie south and heading towards the rough up people must be very frightened about this. so yes, very frightening about the fact that the military operation might be expanding into the roof. i sit in that that, that level of fear having $0.03 a statement made by the israeli dentist, defense minister side thing that victor wouldn't be completed until the military operation gets the right to be in this month anymore. how much infrastructure or it's operative on the ground, but here what we're looking at in overcrowded area crowns with people. 1.9000000 displays pallets in smaller area. a single method on a bomb can cause the death of many civilians here. but the problem we're looking at here right now is n. e mail it to an expensive. another operation only means one thing for the vast majority of people. it's an extension to the genocide relax taking place in the central area. honda and is that the northern parts and more atrocities are going to be committed, particularly when does really military including its defense minister failed to talk about any safety measures or a plan for the 1900000 displays. people here in norfolk city and talking about a safe corridor or a plan for them to leave, to go back to their homes. and the motive part and gust of the situation is getting really tough for never to each passing date. shattering any level. and his sense of security and safety and overnight, massive attacks coupled with artillery, selling on the eastern part of the, of the city of rebecca and 2 more residential homes were destroyed. the victims happen this time to be again done like the displays have been shown during these residential homes 15 people have been killed among them, children and women sense of injuries went through hospitals that are already struggling over one doesn't have separation, medical supply whatsoever. everything is leading every practice that every single act on the ground here suggests that is more of the genocide, those practices are going to happen very difficult in distressing situation. the rough or in reference of the goals are highly mcquaid for 40. thank you. hear me. i still ahead here and algebra, the gunfire adult in the west bank is ready for his car up more rates on the as hello. the non emergency drought
