Special envoy for yemen Martin Griffiths has called for an inquiry into this attack and why we have seen many such attacks like this in the country and there have long been concerns about violations of International Humanitarian law and now im not asking you to make a judgment on that but in terms of even beginning to start such an investigation how challenging how difficult would that be given the conditions in yemen right now well theyre going to have to go to the site and theyre going to have to decide to investigate what was happening at the site and around the site in terms of being wounded in that military target moving around in yemen is not easy. We have long said the i. C. R. C. Has for years now since the beginning this conflict pleaded with both sides not to target areas where civilians are living or anyone who is not taking or other of the conflict and that continues to happen well thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us jason says its spokesperson for the International Committee of the red cross thank you regarding the u. S. Is saying that it fully supports israels right to selfdefense after an exchange of fire between the Israeli Military and the Lebanese Hezbollah is upon us as its fighters targeted a military vehicle in the galilee region Israeli Forces retaliated by shelling aboard of a niche in southern lebanon that reports now from northern israel. On sunday afternoon the tense week long waiting game was over the strike that hezbollah had been promising was underway antitank missiles fired an israeli army base near the community of avivim just south of the lebanese border hezbollah t. V. Claimed an israeli tank it being destroyed and soldiers killed but the Israeli Military said while its base had sustained hits no soldiers had died israeli artillery and as strikes targeted lebanese border areas the reports from there said the shells hit mainly empty areas no casualties were reported on either side less than 2 hours after it began the israeli army said the confrontation appeared to be over and. We were attacked by several antitank missiles were tallied with about 100 shells from the area and by other means were holding consultation concerning the future i ordered them to be prepared as you know for any possibility we have no casualties not even a scratch. The latest escalation started a week ago hezbollah said an attack on a stronghold in southern beirut last sunday was carried out by israeli drones it followed in israeli as strike that killed 2 has fighters in syria israel said it had prevented a drone attack being launched from that. As well as leader Hassan Nasrallah warned then and repeated on saturday that his forces would strike back and he denied israels justification for its recent attacks that hezbollah and iran were assembling precision guided missiles inside lebanon. Its. A pretext netanyahu is using to attack and i said on many occasions that we have enough guided missiles for what we need not precision guided missile factories. Benjamin netanyahu insists irans growing threat necessitates an expanding israeli response its just over 2 weeks until the israeli elections forceful action backs up his carefully nurtured image as israels mr security at ascent into full scale war on the lebanon border less so in the weeks since Hassan Nasrallah gave his warning of a retaliatory strike all of the messaging from both sides all the analysis suggested that neither israel nor hezbollah wanted an escalation towards all out war and in their actions earlier on sunday they appear to have proved that right limiting and calibrating their military actions to satisfy their domestic audiences without for now at least triggering a broader conflict are a force that aljazeera just outside of even in northern israel. Lebanons Prime Ministers appealed to the u. S. And france to intervene to prevent any exchange escalating into a wall. Underreports now from southern lebanon. Calm prevails along lebanons border with israel the situation has been contained at least for the time being hezbollah promised to retaliate and it did israel responded by shelling a lebanese border village hezbollah didnt respond there was no exchange of fire which was really a sign that it did not want the situation to spiral out of control even the targets that the israeli army chose it was an indication that it too did not want the conflict to to worsen or to escalate the lebanese Prime Minister was on the phone with american and french officials to try to deescalate tensions it was a nobodys interest for this flare up to lead to all out conflict in 2006 it was a devastating war between israel and hezbollah now hezbollah did the promise to retaliate against the killing of 2 of its fighters in syria in neighboring syria and israeli air strikes but it also said and it also promised to prevent israeli drones from violating lebanese airspace it says that its going to start defending lebanons airspace so the question is what happens next will it take another action that could lead to a similar flare up or or worsen tensions between the between the 2 the 2 parties but its not just that what happened its linked to tensions in the region the tensions between the u. S. And iran iran and israel
