Not just of the he talked about the successes, notjust of the operation last night to kill Hassan Nasrallah, but also of the really continual operation to actually try and secure the border from hezbollah. I dont we think we need a ground i dont we think we need a Ground Operation in lebanon. Hezbollah suffered a Weight Major hezbollah suffered a Weight Major blow not just yesterday but all major blow not just yesterday but all throughout last week. If they but all throughout last week. If they continue fighting, they will eat if they continue fighting, they will eat but they will leave us with will eat but they will leave us with no will eat but they will leave us with no option but to continue bombing and can can tony continue bombing and can can tony continue bombing and can can tony continuing to destroy the grand tony continuing to destroy the grand position and the rockets the grand position and the rockets and the launches and many rockets and the launches and many people will be suffering from many people will be suffering from it many people will be suffering from it regrettably.

So, they certainly have our desire. So, they certainly have a our desire. So, they certainly have a good reason to want to stop have a good reason to want to stop it have a good reason to want to stop it and have a good reason to want to stop it and we dont have any interest stop it and we dont have any interest in stop it and we dont have any interest in a Ground Operation inside interest in a Ground Operation inside lebanon because what we want inside lebanon because what we want to inside lebanon because what we want to do is to provide the security want to do is to provide the security for our residents so they security for our residents so they will security for our residents so they will come back home. I think they will come back home. I think this they will come back home. I think this is something that The Americans and the french are now The Americans and the french are now trying to accomplish. They are now trying to accomplish. They are are now trying to accomplish. They are trying to negotiate between us and the lebanese government. I hope that they will be government. I hope that they will be successful and i hope that will be successful and i hope that hezbollah were not to be seduced that hezbollah were not to be seduced by the emotions to try and retaliate because any further and retaliate because any further Military Confrontation will be ~~ further Military Confrontation will be.

Ifi may, i am so sorry to interact. I am on | will be. Ifi may, i am so| sorry to interact. I am on a bit of a delay. It is reported when we talk about that ceasefire that you are suggesting there. Mr netanyahu had not any way warmly welcome to the suggestion of a ceasefire. You did at the Un Yesterday and addressed the Un General Assembly and he talked about peace, he said that israel was Peace And Peace is something that i know that you did pursue after the 2006 waffle to be said that israel was peace and 90 minutes later, huge Shot Strike on residential builders, and builders that but they would have been children who were killed there. Thats not the pursuit of peats, is it . Using one thing and doing another. He is saying one thing and doing another. ,. another. You insist on completely another. You insist on completely ignoring. Another. You insist on i completely ignoring the another. You insist on completely ignoring the effects of ground. I was missing out on the other was speaking, they were shooting behind rockers after the North Part of israel and continuations of what they were doing for a year long dutchman during a year long operation. The question is not whether we should argue about the precise effects which took place yesterday. Also, i hope that knitting are who is now on his way back to israel and the air and thats by the time that he will land in israel,. I think that most of us need to do the only thing which is it reasonable and responsible for the lives of people and to avoid unnecessary victims. They have to stop shooting, they have to stop shooting, they have to stop shooting, they have to agree to a compromise that will bring their security to the North Part of israel and will allow us to bring back the people living there. And they will provide. People living there. And they will provide. Will provide. That is correct that hezbollah will provide. That is correct that hezbollah have will provide. That is correct that hezbollah have to will provide. That is correct that hezbollah have to agree j will provide. That is correct i that hezbollah have to agree to a ceasefire, but Mr Netanyahu also has to agree to a ceasefire. There is no indication that he is going to do that. In the pursuit of this, and you will have seen yourself that the images of that Damage And Destruction yesterday, is it reasonable to target civilians like that, Evenif Target civilians like that, even if you are trying to get to the need of hezbollah . Do you consider civilian deaths acceptable Collateral Damage . Civilians were not targeted. Im not a supporter of the israeli government. But they were civilian israeli government. But they were civilian deaths. Israeli government. But they were civilian deaths. Please l israeli government. But they l were civilian deaths. Please be atient. Were civilian deaths. Please be patient we were civilian deaths. Please be patient. We were were civilian deaths. Please be patient. We were attacking patient. We were attacking dahieh, a basis of hezbollah. All of dahieh is a basis of hezbollah and this is where were shooting at the rockets. This is where they were attacking every part of the state of israel. If you go to the North Part of the state of israel, you will see township completely destroyed as a result of rockers coming from the his brother so we had to stop it and there was no other way of stopping it than by attacking that base where they are making all these attacks against israeli civilians and for such a long time. I absolutely, without any cynicism, i regret any citizen who was not involved he became a victim of this unavoidable and inevitable counteroffensive that israel had to take in order to stop the fighting of hamas. Now, the question is are we going to fight about what happens tomorrow or are we going to make an effort in order to prevent it. Im so, yesterday or are we going to make an effort to stop it for tomorrow . What i say is this. Stop fighting, Stop Shooting Rockets against israelis. The former israeli rockets against israelis. The former israeli prime rockets against israelis. The former israeli prime minister, of course, speaking to me a little early on. Here we are, in bay at the minute and over the next three hours, will really be seeing the response here from ordinary hezbollah supporters who live in the lebanese capital to that news that Hassan Nasrallah has been killed. Many of them, of course, fled that area of Dahieh Last Night where the strikes happened and moved to different parts of the capital. We have seen people fleeing from the south and the back of the value of the ease and people are just moving where they could. Some of them ijust move on to another area, a walkway by the Mediterranean Sea and other went to the martyrs square that you can see behind me, that open space in the centre of beirut. The Bbc World services middle East Correspondent has been speaking to some of them. To some of them. They had to walk here to some of them. They had to walk here because to some of them. They had to walk here because they to some of them. They had to walk here because they could | walk here because they could not find a car, they cannot even use their cars because that most of the streets were completely blocked by Rubble And Destruction due to the heavy Air Strikes that we could hear even from Outside Dahieh until this morning, and they told us that they could not really get anything with themselves. They dont know if their house is still there. They dont think that they are going back home any time soon. Some of these families were hosting their relatives who fled from Southern Lebanon, Air Strikes in Southern Lebanon and now, guests and hosts alike are both displays. This is thetis but this is a situation and all the way from here, you see all the way from here, you see a lot of people just sleeping in the streets. There are no places in the school, the schools are already full, places were displayed people are already crowded from people are already crowded from people from the south. Just Ex Lain People from the south. Just exnlain for people from the south. Just explain for us, people from the south. Just explain for us, the people from the south. Just explain for us, the influence of Hezbollah In that southern part of beirut, but also across lebanon and across the country in the parliament, the impact that the organisation has. There are very mixed views about what extent of power this organisation has. Yes, they are heavily armed and they have mps in there and they also have ministers in the government. They had supporters among different communities are not only shia, christian allies and druze allies and other ethnic communities within lebanon and also had a lot of people opposing them. Now, the situation has completely changed. A group that was seeing, a very strong group, it is not clear what this group should expect or what their supporters should expect. This is what i sense when im talking to their supporters, they really dont know what is happening. They did not expect this to happen now. Of course, for those who are opposing hezbollah and they are happy but for their supporters, they are so worried that the situation will turn massively against them. Against them. That is our correspondent against them. That is our correspondent from against them. That is our correspondent from the l against them. That is our i correspondent from the Bbc World service in downtown beirut. Just a few lines of reaction to bring you. The israeli Ministry Of Defence has just issued a statement through his office. He said they have a limited imac, the leader of hezbollah. He was a murder of thousands of israelis and enemy immediate threat to thousands of israelis and other citizens. To our enemies, as it were entertainment and to our partners, i would say i would say our war is your war and i will conclude by saying to the people of lebanon, our poor are what is not with you, it is time for change. Our war is not with you. Also news from iraq. We will start to see not just a reaction here but across the wider Middle East as well. Iraq has announced three days of mourning over the killing of Hassan Nasrallah. So of the sea, the source of lies was like to come in and as weve been talking about layers of reaction. Beware lebanon and israel, for there Writer Part of the Midden East and ultimately, im sure we were here in the next few hours were various World Leaders as they react to what has happened already and look ahead to what could happen next. At the moment, that isjust could happen next. At the moment, that is just an enormously unpredictable thing. I know, thank you so much at the moment. It live for us In Beirut. Well be back in the region injust a moment. But first, we are going to get up to date with the significant events over the last 2a hours without our security correspondent, frank gardiner. A devastating blow, inflicted by israel in the heart of hezbollahs, centre In Beirut. Within hours, the israeli military announced that they had imitated the groups leader. They had eliminated the groups leader. Hassan nasrallah had been Secretary General of has 32 years, ever seen it squared into the wild s most heavily armed territory. He grew up In Beirut is did stretch it. He took over leadership in 1992 when his predecessor was assassinated by israel. 2000, maybe millions of shia muslims, enabling a benign and beyond, he but he was a his role. It is raw, he was a wanted terrorist. The israeli Air Force targeted the underground bunker where hezbollah leadership was meeting, this was a major Escalation And Challenge to iran. This is not the limit of our capabilities. It must be very clear that there are more to it at our disposal and the message is simple. Anyone who threatens the state of israel will be reached, even in the North Or South or even in the most distant places. As most distant places. As Hezbollahs Power has been. Air strikes on its web.
