Sketches slip is whos the Laws Leader hinting at retaliation . After backtoback attacks across lebanon, targeting wireless devices he says the deadly explosions crossed a Red Line as tensions escalate across the region. With israel making new moves. And House Speaker Mike Johnson says he has to draw up another play after the Gops Government Funding plan failed to pass, but it doesnt even look like hes the one writing the playbook why former President Trumps obsession with Election Fraud, falsehoods could lead to a shutdown and a promising new trend in the fight against fatal Drug Overdoses. The number of deaths actually falling fast and hitting their lowest levels in three years will look at what is behind the drop. We are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News central story this afternoon, the Israeli Military it says it is targeting hezbollah targets in lebanon right now im at its top commander has completed approval of plans for the northern arena as tensions between Israel And Hezbollah intensify. This all comes following two days of attacks weaponizing the militant groups own pagers and walkietalkies the boobytrapped devices detonated in coordinated explosions killing at least 37 people and injuring thousands. Thats according to lebanons health minister. Today, Hezbollahs Leader Hassan Nasrallah hinted at retaliation, warning, quote, the reckoning will come, the escalating violence leading to growing fears of a wider middle East Conflict amid new crossborder attacks. Lets take you now live to Tel Aviv with Cnn Correspondent Jeremy diamond, whos following these developments. Jeremy, do we know specifically which targets israel . Is seeking out in lebanon . Well, we dont, but we do know that the Israeli Military is continuing to carry out airstrikes in Southern Lebanon that has been the focus of israels aerial campaign in lebanon since the beginning of the war. And certainly we have witnessed an intensification of the crossborder clashes today. Earlier today has bullet drones hitting targets in northern israel to soldiers have been a two israeli soldiers have been confirmed dead by the Israeli Military. Several others were injured in that attack. And theres No Doubt about it that we are at a moment of heightened tension in this region. Once again and as the israeli defense minister, yoav galants saying today for the second day in a row that israel is now entering a new phase of this war yesterday, he talked about the Center Of Gravity of this war moving northwards away from the Gaza Strip towards israels northern border as israeli troops from the 98th Division were diverted away from the Gaza Strip and towards israels northern front. Theres no question that the Israeli Military and the government are focused on being able to return some 60,000 israeli residents in northern israel who have been displaced from their homes to get them back home. Doing so, of course, will require a much more intensive Military Campaign if a diplomatic solution cannot be achieved. And so far we know that diplomacy has not succeeded as of yet to achieving some kind of a sustainable, calm between Israel And Hezbollah. Instead, we see that things are ramping up particularly after those attacks caused by Exploding Pagers and walkietalkies over the last two days resulting in one of the deadliest periods for hezbollah since this conflict began. Jeremy we heard from Hassan Nasrallah, his beloved commander earlier today, as i noted before, he hinted at retaliation, but he stopped short of declaring All Out War yeah, thats right. And at a moment when he certainly could have escalated things a lot more with his words today. The leader of hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, very much making clear that he believes these israeli attacks have a crossed Red Lines fancy called them unprecedented. He talked about the scale of the damage, the casualties that were caused, and the fact that was across lebanon calling an attack on lebanon, talking about lebanese unity. So certainly there was an attempt there to kind of rally the lebanese people people a round in the face of this israeli attack as he called it and you have to keep in mind that nearly three dozen people were killed in these attacks. Almost all of them. Hezbollah members, although certainly several of them were civilians, including at least two children that we know of. But what was interesting was that even amid that rhetoric of retaliation and revenge, that nasrallah was talking about, he was also very much downplaying this attack in some ways as well when he talked about the fact that he believes the intense here by israel was to kill thousands. And that instead only several dozen were actually killed. That could be aimed ultimately at stepping back from The Edge. And so even as that retaliation is possible, and will likely come, the question is, it will be, how will that Retaliation Land and what will it then trigger a but certainly the intention from Hassan Nasrallah at this point seems just to be similar to what weve seen in the past, which is to say, we will retaliate, we will respond. But stopping short of pushing for All Out War as we have seen time and again, we have come close to the brink. And yet both Israel And Hezbollah have ultimately decided that All Out War is not in their interests we will see whether that is the case this time again, forced. All right. Jeremy diamond. Thank you so much for that. Lets talk about these developments are so many with Cnn Global Affairs analyst kim dozier, and cnn Military Analyst and retired Air Force Colonel cedric leighton. Colonel israels military says that it is striking hezbollah targets in lebanon it says plans for the northern arena have been approved. What do these movements, all of these movements, what do you make of them here in the last 24 hours . Well, brianna, theres several different aspects to this right now. Youre looking at some israeli airstrikes that have occurred in lebanon and they chose that the israelis are moving forward. They ramp being up in certain areas you can see israeli Air Force jets, among Them F 15s coming in and not only dropping flares like you see here, but also dropping munitions in certain areas. And the fact that these things are happening indicates that what the israelis are trying to do is theyre trying to make it very clear that by moving forces from gaza, from this area here to the northern part of Israel Right here. They are getting ready, possibly to go into Southern Lebanon, which is of course Hezbollah Stronghold right now so kim, after these twin days of attacks on mobile devices, how does that sort of set the table for what israel is doing now, it seems like a precursor to something larger it certainly does seem like theyve done a stepbystep laying the table for some sort of Invasion Or Incursion over the weekend, they added clearing out northern israel so that israelis could come back to their official goals of the war and when you look at first hitting the Enemys Command and control with the pagers and then the walkie talkies. And now perhaps softening up targets that might be used in a response it all looks like theyre preparing. Youve seen some Troop Movement to the north, but we dont see israeli troops massing on the border as if theyre going to do some sort of 2006 style invasion. Yet but the other Thing Weve seen is the israeli government made public a couple of plots by iran two attempts to assassinate israeli leaders. Theyve done that and just path the past couple of days. Again, its its like theyre creating a reason to go in but Hassan Nasrallah in that speech also said if any israeli troops come in, we will take advantage of that. So basically, each side seems to be goading the other one, but doesnt want to get the blame if all out were on that border breaks out colonel, to you, what is the military impact on hezbollah . Now of those attacks on communications devices, are they still capable of communication . Well, thats going to be a big challenge for them because one of the key things boris, is that these pagers and walkietalkies are the devices that theyve used in essence to go in and allow themselves to communicate without being tracked by the israelis. The israelis were known to track smartphones and thats biden nasrallah has said, go off the cell phones, get to pagers, which of course is 1980 style technology. In move to pagers, as well as to these Walkietalkie Type radios. The very fact that they have now been targeted by the israelis through Supply Chain methods indicates that one of the key things that youre dealing with here is a very significant cutting of the communications links that hezbollah has established for its people. They may have to resort as a result to resort, i should say to land lines and two couriers and that could of course, significantly impede their ability to conduct military operations because when you look at the vast expanse of the area that theyre dealing with here. Theyre going to have to communicate in order to respond to any moves at the israelis make. And if they cant respond, theyre not effective and yet Kim Nasrallah says theyre not going to stop unless the war in gaza is over. So where does that Leave Things . Is this just sort of a shortterm setback for hezbollah says it plans to reconstitute well, look as Colonel Leighton was saying, they have to recover from this Body Blow to their communications even though nasrallah saying it didnt affect their infrastructure we dont know how many commanders had been taken out, but on telegram Channels Hezbollah has been Posting Name after name after photograph of people in its Command And Control whove been taken out however, as we know from watching this for awhile lebanon hezbollah, israel, they dont telegraph their punches beyond. Were going to do something at some point they will take a few days to absorb this blow and then figure out what their response will be. Will it be something like . Firing, a, missile at a populated area in israel which has blocked could do but his chosen not to do its chosen to hit military targets. That is one type of escalation. It could choose, but again, then thats escalation. And with that comes Blame And Theyve been wanting to do so far things that go below the radar. But lets just remember that all of this Israeli Military response is slowly improving. Into the Supply Chain at the factory itself, that part of the Supply Chains to the Manufacturing Process was apparently not compromised according to the company. However, what they must have been able to do on the israeli side is get into the actual Distribution Point and alter the receivers and transmitters here in order to actually go in and put that explosive in there and then use that explosive to actually conduct the blast once it was triggered by a message or a another trigger of that type. So what youre seeing here is the ability to go in and take out something that really is a part of the communications its network, part of the Command And Control link. And the very fact that they were able to do that means that everything that has bulla does when it comes to this kind of technology is at risk. Really stunning Trade Craft and that Operation Kernel cedric latent can dozer. Appreciate you both. Thanks so much. At any moment now, President Biden is likely to take credit for fighting the inflation that came when the government spent billions to keep the economy from collapsing during the covid, pandemic for the president will be speaking at the economic club of washington a day after the fed Cut Interest rates by a half of The Point, sending stocks to record highs earlier, cnn its Mj Lee is at the white House And J what are you hearing from officials there what brianna and boris, as far as the White House is concerned, there is little subtlety around this moment. They are saying that this is a milestone in the u. S. Economy and theyre saying that everything really points to this idea that inflation is falling. Interest rates are falling and were seeing improvements in wages and the jobs market. And certainly the timing of the president s remarks, which will begin any minute now at the economic club, that is no coincidence coming. As you said, just one day after the federal Reserve Cut rates for the first time under the president s watch officials here say that this speeches not going to be a victory lap, but we do certainly expect that the president is going to try to paint a picture of an economy that has come around full circle. And some of this, we are really familiar with. The president talks about this quite often, mentioning how when he first took office, we had the pandemic that was at its peak. We had record high up prices. We also had Supply Chain problems that were certainly exacerbated by various geopolitical problems. And i think the president is going to be arguing that all of his economic policies seen as a whole over the last threeandahalf years or precisely designed and built to try to get rid of those major problems. And i think hell certainly argue and try to make The Point to the american people tuning in but he was able to successfully get the country out of those problems. And of course, all of this is so politically important for his Vice President , who herself has to own this record while at this same time trying to paint an economic message that is entirely her own as well j. Lee live for us from the White House. Thanks so much i have this hour on Cnn News central.
