Weather closes in. Meanwhile, there have been further airstrikes on hezbollah targets in the lebanese capital, beirut. Whilst the iranian backed group fired more than 100 rockets into israel on monday. Most were intercepted. Lets hear some of Mr Netanyahus televised speech. Translation we are not to tiered. We have stood strongly together to defend and protect our homeland. Whatever strength was needed we defined what the objectives of this war was, we want to eradicate the hamas and bring our hostages home whether alive or not. We must thwart any future threat on the state of israel and bring the residents of the North And South into safe to their homes. As weve been hearing, israel is continuing to exchange fire with hezbollah and hamas, and more Air Strikes have been carried out On Gaza and beirut. With this report from israels northern border, heres our middle East Correspondent Lucy williamson. The gaps in israels defences are still being tested. A rocket fired from lebanon landed near a hospital, sending shrapnel and explosives through the Car Park as patients lay metres away. Dr Osama Nasser left his car here five minutes before the rocket hit, his Daughters Car Seat still intact inside the shattered frame. Im a lucky man. It hit the car, not me. I have a Little Girl also. Two years old. And with every boom and siren, she gets anxious. It is hard to be in this situation one year, its exhausting situation. Suddenly, more sirens, the panic here sharper this time. Seconds later, the thud of rockets. Three, four, five, six . Thats a lot. Just coming to the Safe Room here after the siren sounded again at the hospital this morning. Theres been a barrage, 20 a0 interceptions. Some of them sounded very close. Outside, Fresh Smoke Marks where rockets have landed. Another has hit a house. A elderly neighbour, frozen in shock, barely registering her injury. Part of the rocket still unexploded as Bomb Disposal teams are called in. Translation since last night, we have a lot of incoming hezbollah rockets. Malot has been targeted. The coming weeks will be very challenging. Our town has not been evacuated. Israels Ground Invasion of lebanon is triggering a response, but a year after the hamas attacks, many here see war as the solution to this Border Conflict and invasion as the best defence. Lucy williamson, bbc news. Kamala harris has given a wide ranging interview to the american Television Network cbs, ahead of the president ial election next month. The democratic Party Candidate defended the biden administrations efforts to prevent all out war in the Middle East, even though israel has repeatedly brushed aside us appeals for restraint. She was speaking to cbs 60 Minutes Host Bill whittaker. We supply israel with billions of dollars in military aid. Yet the prime Minister Netanyahu seems to be charting his own course. The Biden Harris Administration has pressed him to agree to a ceasefire. He is resisting. You urged him not to go into Lebanon On. He went in anyway.

Lets start with the speech of Benjamin Netanyahu. What has the reaction been to that . The Prime Minister, the reaction been to that . Tue Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu wants this to be a Revival War, netanyahu wants this to be a revivalwar, he netanyahu wants this to be a Revival War, he reinstated with his Speech Yesterday he would like this or to continue. Analysts are comparing him with what Ben Gurion did previously when israel faced a deadly or in 1946, i947, and when israel faced a deadly or in 1946, 1947, and that led to the establishment of the state of israel afterwards. So the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants the war to be called the Revival War for israel, and he wants israel to go through with the war as long as it takes, to take israel to as it takes, to take israel to a new revival. There are mixed reactions towards that. The top of the reaction comes from the leader of the Opposition Yair Lapid who said the war is a deadly war, it doesnt lead to anything, israel would not achieve anything unless the hostages comes back. But it doesnt seem the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is giving that top priority as it looks like from his speech. So it is a mixed feelings towards israel towards the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech last evening.

Shelling of the southern suburb of beirut, Continuous Shelling overnight. Shelling also to the border of Lebanon On, villages on the border.

So both sides, Israel Or Gaza or Southern Lebanon on, or gaza or Southern Lebanon on, or the region as a whole, received this anniversary with one of the deadliest days. Thank you very much indeed.

Everybody has been discussing white what israel might do next in its response to attacks from iran calculations to make, they need to respond and they want to respond not only because of the domestic pressure, there are tendencies become some to downgrade the president s desire to retaliate to the Iranians Action because of his need for survival. The bigger picture is a matter of National Security is for israelis, they are very concerned if they dont respond to iranians, it might set the tipping point, on one hand they ne iranians, ond on tipping point, on one hand they ne iranians, It 1d on tipping point, on one hand they ne iranians, it might set the precedent for the iranians that to iranians, it might set the precedent for the iranians that when ever their proxies are in when ever their proxies are in danger they get involved it is danger they get involved it is not something is really can not something is really can afford.

America is reluctant about it, it is not something serves the expressed prior to me, they are fighting a multi fro about it, america is reluctant about it, it is not something serves the National Security of israel, National Security of israel, israelis are dancing on a israelis are dancing on a tipping point, on one hand they tipping point, on one hand they need to respond on need to respond on the other hand, they also want to keep the conflict contained relatively contained in manageable for their own National Security and their own sake.

Progresses. Around the world around the world and across the uk. And across the uk. This is bbc news. This is bbc news. Lebanons Prime Minister at the time of its last war with israel, in 2006, has told the bbc his country has been abandoned by the international community. Fouad siniora said it was unacceptable to leave lebanon to fall, and that there was a lack of initiative when it came to trying to restore peace. The bbc� s Anna Foster sat down with the former Prime Minister and asked him if he felt the world had failed to step up and support the lebanese state. Somehow, yes, it has been abandoned. At the same time, there has been a certain laxity, and lack of initiative to be taken. And brave initiatives i would say. Practically, the lebanese is a state, has been kidnapped by hezbollah. And behind hezbollah is ran. This pistol or this gun that was had by hezbollah instead of being pointed towards israel, it started to become pointed towards something else, domestically, as a way of being used by iran to interfere in syria, and iraq, and Yemen. To interfere in syria, and iraq, and Yemen. There is a real vacuum iraq, and Yemen. There is a real vacuum with iraq, and Yemen. There is a real vacuum with lebanese | real vacuum with lebanese politics at the moment . As you say nobody stepped forward and clearly articulated the difference between the lebanese state and hezbollah, why didnt they do that . Surely they let they do that . Surely they let the people of Lebanon On down by Doing That. The people of Lebanon On down by Doing That by Doing That. Exactly, exactly what has been by Doing That. Exactly, exactly what has been going by Doing That. Exactly, exactly what has been going on by Doing That. Exactly, exactly what has been going on since| what has been going on since october 23, things were dragging and getting worse and worse. And again you see, many chances were really made available in order to disassociate the lebanese situation from gaza. It is very important nationally and from an arabic point of view, to associate with gaza. But especially now. Lebanon elm cannot afford in principle to get involved in such a conflict. When the Gaza Situation has become only 2. 2 Million palestinians homeless, and all of gaza is destroyed. To continue to link Lebanon On situation with gaza, is not wise. And particularly in view of the serious risks, that we are having, and the country is looking for heroes. And that is why i said, it is looking now for two heroes. In the absence of a president in Lebanon On, we dont have a president. We have two persons, the speaker of the house, in his capacity as speaker and in his capacity as speaker and in his capacity as a Caretaker President of the caretaker government. They have to get to gather in order to take the necessary decisions. People are asking questions now about the role of the Lebanese Armed Forces why they didnt remove Hezbollah And Hezbollah weapons from the Area South of the lakhani river, why now they are not defending people who live there. Are they at faulty . Again, the lebanese army at the end of the day, it is under jurisdiction of the legitimate government. Is such a decision to be taken by the army it has to be taken by the army it has to be taken by the army it has to be effectively taken by the lebanese government and the lebanese government and the lebanese government and the lebanese government is not within the government in agreement. To really take such agreement. To really take such a decision. D0 agreement. To really take such a decision a decision. Do you think lebanon a decision. Do you think Lebanon On a decision. Do you think Lebanon On an a decision. Do you think Lebanon On an 11 a decision. Do you think| Lebanon On an 11 months political class in particular have the strength, and the motivation to remove that uranian influence, which has choked this country . Uranian influence, which has choked this country . Very true, very true choked this country . Very true, very true i choked this country . Very true, very true. Ithink choked this country . Very true, very true. I think now, choked this country . Very true, very true. I think now, many. Choked this country . Very true, very true. I think now, many of| very true. I think now, many of those who were electing to be silent and not speak up, there are mind, now they are speaking up are mind, now they are speaking up their mind. That Lebanon On cannot afford to continue to be hijacked by the uranian government. By iran. Shed been suffering from alzheimers disease.
