The crater it left filled with visions of what if. The us said this attack had twice the scope of irans last bombardment in april. Not all the targets hit were military. One landed in this residential suburb of tel aviv. Neighbours rushing through repairs before thejewish new year tonight. Temporary solutions to the problems of a regional war. 83 year old schmulik s home, one of more than A Hundred houses damaged here. Everybody was scared because the blast, it was an enormous blast. And when we get out of the shelter, We Saw something not from this world. All the house was glasses, no windows, no doors. The impact site around 100 metres from his front door, another what if. This is the second time in six months that iran has attacked israel directly. Actions that were once seen as red lines are now becoming routine. Each time, the line between Message And Miscalculation is paper thin, and each time demands a response. Israels Prime Minister has promised a response will come. Translation we are in the middle l of a tough war against Irans Axis L of evil, which seeks to destroy us. This will not happen because we will stand together, and with gods help, we will win together. Israel has been Crossing Red lines itself, sending these soldiers into lebanon this week a limited and targeted incursion, it says, to destroy hezbollah tunnels. But another four brigades were called up today and villagers in the south of lebanon told to leave their homes and move north. Also today, the first israeli casualties airlifted out of the Combat Zone eight killed and others injured, men from israels elite Commando And Infantry brigades, the youngest of them 21 years old. Two days into this war, israel is facing the risks of old conflicts weighed against the risks of playing by new rules. Lucy williamson, bbc news, israel. More than 1,000 people have been killed in lebanon in the past two weeks by israeli bombardments, according to lebanese officials, including 45 on wednesday. Southern beirut has been hit particularly hard, with israel launching strikes in dense areas and ordering evacuations. These are live images of beirut, where just over an hour ago, israel said it launched what it called a precise strike. Witnesses reported seeing massive explosions across the city. 0ur Correspondent sally nabil has been with a number of Media Crews invited and accompanied by hezbollah to visit beirut s Southern Suburbs. She filed this report. We are here in beirut s Southern Suburb known as dahiya. Its a stronghold for hezbollah. Weve been invited, among other Media Crews, by hezbollah, to check out the scale of the damage caused by the israeli Air Strikes over the past few days. Weve been told that this building used to be a Tv Channel for religious programmes. Its affiliated with hezbollah. This is what weve been told here. On our way to this place, weve seen large Scale Damage in different parts of this neighbourhood. Buildings have been partially or totally reduced to rubble. Many cars have been smashed. Over the past few days, dahiya has been a target for israeli bombardment. 0ne Resident tells me that when the israelis issued a warning asking residents to leave, ten minutes later, the Air Strikes begin, so people do not really have room to run for safety. The picture here speaks for itself. The large Scale Destruction is pretty clear, and this has been the case in many spots in this area. As long as the israeli Air Strikes continue on dahiya, more people will flee for their Safety And Lebanon has to put up with a huge displacement issue. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says his country is not looking for war but pledged a stronger response if Israel Retaliates for the attack. On wednesday, both iran and Israels Ambassadors addressed an Emergency Security Council session. Heres some of what irans envoy had to say. Experience has proven that israel only understands the language of force. Diplomacy has repeatedly failed, as israel Views Restraint not as a gesture of goodwill but as a weakness to exploit. Each act of restraint taken by iran has only emboldened israel to commit even greater crimes and more acts of aggression. Consequently, Irans Response was necessary to restore balance and deterrence. In conclusion, the regime of the united states and the united kingdom regime, nefarious enablers of the israeli regime, along with france, have once again cynically attempt to justify israeli heinous crimes under the guise of self defence, shifting the blame onto iran. After that security council meeting, Israels Ambassador to the un, danny danon, joined me here on bbc news. Heres some of our exchange. Let me ask you about what iran has said at the un secured council meeting, iran sent it has the right to restore its territorial Integrity And Self defense and the un ambassador listed the assassinations of hamas s Political Leader in tehran, the targeting of the ambassador to lebanon, the assassination of Hossein Nostril and also because Secretary General and so on. What is your response to that, iran saying this is in direct response to the assassinations and this is our ability to defend ourselves . This is our ability to defend ourselves ... u, ourselves . Nothing image and can usti ourselves . Nothing image and can justify attack ourselves . Nothing image and can justify attack of ourselves . Nothing image and can justify attack of 200 ourselves . Nothing image and can justify attack of 200 ballistic justify attack of 200 ballistic missiles. Even during the blitz of london, Nobody Saw such a number of missiles flying into another country, so thats unprecedented, and i think what he said about nostromo, he actually revealed to the world that the iranians are trying to seek revenge for nasrallah, who was a notorious terrorist who killed hundreds of americans, was behind hundreds of attacks on civilians all around the world. All of the sudden, iran is trying to claim Responsibility And Attack israel because of that. That is under separable from an Attic Everybody in the room realised that there is no Justification Everybody in the room realised that there is nojustification for everybody in the room realised that there is no justification for what happened yesterday in israel. gs happened yesterday in israel. As fighting continues in lebanon as fighting continues in lebanon, i spoke with waddah sadek, member of the lebanese parliament. We understand, there is Ground Fighting going on. Can you give assistance of n a sense a sense of what it is like right now . A sense of what it is like right now ... now . Not really. Some commanders of israelis are trying now . Not really. Some commanders of israelis are trying to now . Not really. Some commanders of israelis are trying to check now . Not really. Some commanders of israelis are trying to check him israelis are trying to check him hezbollah forces, where they are exactly, but today they had a lot of casualties, as they entered a low area and they were ambushed and we did not know yet, the israelis said eight soldiers were dead in a lot of injuries. We saw also the helicopters taking off a lot of casualties. But the Ground Invasion didnt start yet. Its just a kind of. The forces, when they start, they just, of. The forces, when they start, theyjust, they are checking the ground and. Theyjust, they are checking the ground and theyjust, they are checking the round and..... ground and. Ok, so that means that Ou Ground and. Ok, so that means that you anticipate ground and. Ok, so that means that you anticipate that ground and. Ok, so that means that you anticipate that we ground and. Ok, so that means that you anticipate that we are ground and. Ok, so that means that you anticipate that we are going ground and. Ok, so that means that you anticipate that we are going to i you anticipate that we are going to see a much larger invasion . Mast see a much larger invasion . Most robabl , see a much larger invasion . Most probably. Yes. See a much larger invasion . Most probably, yes, because see a much larger invasion . Most probably, yes, because if see a much larger invasion . Ifirrst probably, yes, because if you analyse whats going on after hitting hezbollah that way all over the areas in lebanon, actually, and the areas in lebanon, actually, and the way they were, the Air Strikes on the villages in the south, yes, its clear that they want to impose, if limiting the 1701, because it was not limited since 2006, and hezbollah are still in the area and they are getting stronger and stronger, so the plan as we are hearing is to clear an Area North of the river, which is some areas are 30 km and some are six km stop what i want to ask you about that, because israel says that it has been the. because israel says that it has been the ~. because israel says that it has been the ~.. r, the parking of crossborder strikes by hezbollah the parking of crossborder strikes by hezbollah since the parking of crossborder strikes by hezbollah since october the parking of crossborder strikes by hezbollah since october eight i the parking of crossborder strikes l by hezbollah since october eight and it has the right to defend itself, as any country in his position would do. What is your response to that . I will talk with the continuous active israelis later, but now, one year ago, actually, hezbollah and Hossein Nostril announced that they will support gaza from lebanon. Hossein nostril. Not the perlman or the government, and both parliament, parliament did not meet, by the way, because the speaker of the house is the biggest ally of hezbollah, he did not even ask for a meeting and he disregarded all our requests as Opposition Mps to call for a meeting, discussed the war of antigovernment said clearly by its Prime Minister the government has nothing to do with the war and the government. They announced the war and they give the israelis the war and they give the israelis the reason to fight back since then and then to go to the biggest and attack hezbollah. Let and then to go to the biggest and attack hezbollah. And then to go to the biggest and attack hezbollah. Let me ust ump in there and i attack hezbollah. Let me ust ump in there and ask attack hezbollah. Let me ust ump in there and ask you, i attack hezbollah. Let me just ump in there and ask you, youre h attack hezbollah. Let me justjump in there and ask you, youre sayingj in there and ask you, youre saying hezbollah does not have the permission of the lebanese people here . We have also seen a lot of angerfrom our reporters on here . We have also seen a lot of anger from our reporters on the ground in lebanon with the israelis because in the past few weeks weve seen A Thousand people killed and nearly A Million displaced, so how do people feel right now about what is happening . Is happening . People are angry of both sides, is happening . People are angry of both sides, actually. Is happening . People are angry of both sides, actually. Because is happening . People are angry of both sides, actually. Because firstj both sides, actually. Because first hezbollah gave the reason for israel to Attack Lebanon and then we all know the israelis did a lot of Work Crumbs all over in Gaza And Lebanon in previous times, but again, what we need in lebanon, we need a State War crimes. We need a powerful state, we need really a that can take decisions, and the government to execute these decisions, and hezbollah is blocking the parliament and the government and controlling the decisions, so when you do that against a controlling israel which really needs any reason to attack you, you cannot give such a country all the reason to do that. This is the problem here, that we are against the move, actually. Against iran, which is controlling the area from iran to iraq to syria to lebanon, and we are against israel attacking lebanon, so we are in a place thats not really a simple situation here. Place thats not really a simple situation here. Situation here. Indeed, and let me ask Ou Situation here. Indeed, and let me ask you one situation here. Indeed, and let me ask you one more situation here. Indeed, and let me ask you one more question. Situation here. Indeed, and let me ask you one more question. Are i situation here. Indeed, and let me. Ask you one more question. Are there for this could spiral into a war like We Saw in 2006 . I for this could spiral into a war like We Saw in 2006 . For this could spiral into a war like We Saw in 2006 . I think more than that, actually, like We Saw in 2006 . I think more than that, actually, because like We Saw in 2006 . I think more than that, actually, because therej than that, actually, because there was a decision that was taken, supposedly, the international community, by maybe the united states and definitely buy a lot of parties here in the arab and Middle East, that there is no militias supported by iran outside iran any more, and this decision may cause us to go to a bigger were not only in lebanon, we are talking about iraq, yemen and maybe a big strike on iran, so this decision is taken and we are seeing that because, in 2006, it was not like this, it was not tactical and heavy like that, indie target was not to eliminate hezbollah completely, it was just to take hezbollah from the border. Now, the target changed for the israeli government, and they announced it is in the Knitting Hezbollah totally, and so it will be a bigger war if they do that eliminating hezbollah totally. Now to us politics. The reviews are in for Tuesdays Vice President ial debate between minnesota governor tim Walz And Ohio senatorjd vance. The debate doesnt seem to have moved the needle among likely voters but may have set a more civil tone. While the candidates sparred over issues like immigration, their attacks were more about policy than personal insults. 0ur news partners cbs surveyed voters who viewed the debate and found that people thought both candidates sounded more reasonable than extreme. Nationally, polling still shows a stubbornly tight race. Kamala harris continues to poll a few points ahead of Donald Trump with a marginal lead at 49 and trump at 46 in this latest survey from 538 and abc news. As we have seen all along, this continues to be a very tight race and i think we are going to get some analysis now, just about to get some analysis now, just about to get some analysis from vivek ramaswamy, former republican president ial candidate. Lets give him a moment to set up and Take A Look at other numbers in the meantime. Kamala harris is leading trump among latino voters, but overall support from latinos for the Democratic Party has dropped compared to previous elections. This is according to polling from Nbc News and telemundo. When asked about dealing with the economy, handling inflation and securing the border, the voters surveyed say they think trump would do a better job than harris. We are going to talk about both of those things. Want to go back to vivek ramaswamy. We give you a little moment that you sit down and put your microphone on, so good to have you with us, thanks to some not forjOining Us again. Thank you so much. I want to start with the Vice President ial debate, because a lot of people are surprised at the tone of the debate, and last time We Saw each other talk about the fact that you would want to the Trunk Campaign to focus less on personal attacks and more on some of the Policy Areas where you think they can be very successful. Do you think this debate will perhaps shift the tone at all in the next or weeks or so . I tone at all in the next or weeks or so . tone at all in the next or weeks or so . ~.. tone at all in the next or weeks or so . ~.... so . I think it already has an even headin so . I think it already has an even heading into so . I think it already has an even heading into this so . I think it already has an even heading into this debate, so . I think it already has an even heading into this debate, but so . I think it already has an even heading into this debate, but ive encouraged are kept to do is prosecute the Policy Case against the other side which i think is strong. That came through Last Night stop my friend jd vance, i am strong. That came through Last Night stop My Friendjd vance, i am proud of him, he did and extending job an outstanding job. We came out on top coming out of Last Night. That being said people are not voting for the Vice President on either ticket, theyre voting for the president , and i also think Last Night revealed the aspect of the president ial candidate as well. It says a lot about the kind people their interest in choosing to surround themselves with. The effect of the matter is there are a lot of people who could zone more capable job than Tim Walz did Last Night, but Kamala Harris passed over them, the democratic machine passed over them and i think that says a lot about the personality and the Personnel Kinds of choices you will see Donald Trump make. I Personnel Kinds of choices you will see Donald Trump make. Personnel kinds of choices you will see Donald Trump make. I want to ask ou about see Donald Trump make. I want to ask you about the see Donald Trump make. I want to ask you about the republicans see Donald Trump make. I want to ask you about the republicans because you about the republicans because well talk with the democrats about their choices, but you said you think the tone has changed. Just over the last weekend the former president Donald Trump said Kamala Harris is mentally disabled. I president Donald Trump said Kamala Harris is mentally disabled. Harris is mentall
