Its creating Israels Bombardment of lebanon is ongoing this ban falling strikes across the country and at least a Dozen Air raids on beiruts Southern Suburbs overnight. A new report from a Conflict Monitoring Group says Israels Bombardment there over the past three weeks is the worlds most intense aerial campaign, with the exception of whats happened in gaza in the last two decades, the u. S announced more than 150 Million worth of humanitarian aid for lebanon on friday, the bioinspiration supports israels military offensive, but is expressing concerns about the impact on Civilians Lebanon says more than 1 Million people are 20 population is now displaced because of israeli strikes the leader of hamass Military Wing, the alqassam brigades was reportedly killed in an airstrike in North Lebanon near the city of tripoli. Thats according to a Media Outlet affiliated with the group so far the Israeli Military hasnt commented all right, cnns Nada Bashir is following developments from london. So not just started, i noted the intensity of the bombardments in lebonon, take us through the effect. Its having on hezbollah, even hamas. And importantly, the civilians there as well of the ongoing bombardment that we are seeing across lebanon now is significant to say the least, this is a hugely desperate situation for many civilians, as you noted, overnight, we have seen at least a dozen read strikes on the Southern Suburbs of beirut. We have seen is strikes on lebanon actually spreading and hunting, rather advancing across the country, as you mentioned, reports of an airstrike overnight in Northern Lebanon near the city of tripoli targeting the senior hamas official that reportedly the head of Hamass Or Qassam brigades, the Military Wing there again, no comment from the Israeli Military on that. Just yet those reports coming from hamas affiliated media. But we have seen these strikes advancing and deepening across the country. There certainly has not been any sort of deescalation by the Israeli Military in lebanon, according to hezbollah officials, we have seen yet further attempts to advance an incursion in Southern Lebanon overnight, according to hezbollah, that began at around 11 00 p. M. Local time its israeli infantry pushed back again this coming from hezbollah. Meanwhile, on the other side, weve heard in the israeli Military Reporting on these five projectiles being fired from Lebanon Targeting Israeli territory according to the Israeli Military, these projectiles were shot down or fell in open areas and of casualties are said to have been reported. But again, the Israeli Military is claiming that they are targeting hezbollah militants, that they are targeting Hezbollah Infrastructure across lebanon. They say that they have killed at least 250 hezbollah militants so far, but it is important to underscore that these areas that we are seeing being raided, being bombarded by the Israeli Military or by and large densely populated with civilians as a very small country, the areas in beirut that we are seeing being targeted are densely populated, crammed, filled with residential apartment buildings. And what weve seen of course as a result of this huge displacement crisis, lebanese authorities saying around 1 Million people in lebanon an are now internally displaced. Weve seen as worrying surge in the number of syrian refugees. Now in fact, trying to flee lebanon and returned to syria despite the risks that they may face, theyre and of course, we have seen the key main route connecting lebanon to syria. Now also bombed by the Israeli Military hugely desperate situation for civilians there. And while we are hearing these Evacuation Warnings from the Israeli Military for civilians that they say are living or present Knee Areas that they believe to be hezbollah at targets by enlarge these warnings are not coming with enough time for civilians to get out, to get all their belongings. And of course, to gather their children and evacuated. So it is a worrying situation and what were hearing from Monitoring Groups as the Level And Intensity of bombardment that we are seeing is really unprecedented at this stage. Laura, i appreciate that update. None of us youre live in london. Thanks so much uS President Joe Biden indicated that Israel Hasnt yet decided on how to retaliate against iran for the Missile Attack at launched on tuesday, cnns Kylie Atwood has details from Washington Israel has given us no assurances that they will not target irans nuclear program aS Part of their retaliation against iran for the Missile Strikes that were carried out against israel earlier this week. This is noteworthy given the fact that the biden administration, President Biden himself has made clear that the United States would not support retaliation from israel including that would include going after irans nuclear program, though they say that there should be severe consequences for iran for those attacks earlier this week. And when it comes to the timing of israels retaliation, this top State Department Official said its really hard to tell if israel would use October 7, of course, the anniversary of that horrific attack from hamas against israel to retaliate against iran, saying, in their estimation, its more likely that it israel would use the days before or the days after just given how solemn of a day October 7 is, but its very clear that us officials right now still dont know exactly actually how israel is going to respond or exactly when it will respond. Kylie atwood, cnn, the State Department so as israel weighs its options in terms of striking iran, the u. S. Is going after houthi targets in yemen conducted on friday taking aim at the groups military and other capabilities. The u. S. Says, the goal was to protect the freedom of navigation after weeks of Houthi Attacks on ships In The Red Sea bound for israel, a Tv Station controlled by The Rebel says some of the strikes hit an airport in Western Yemen might want to go live now to northern Lebanon And Paul salam, the Vice President of The Middle East institute. Thanks so much for being here with us again. So the u. S. Striking targets in yemen in this week, the pentagon announced it would send a few thousand more troops to the region to help defend israel and to protect the u. S. Troops. Already there. But now the discussion is it the beefedup uS Presence there isnt actually deterring a wider war or just making it more likely because its emboldening israel. What, what do you think is more likely . Well, i think the trajectory for about a year now has been one of a widening of the war. And indeed we are hours or days away from a major strike from israel to iran as you know, as you vote yourself, have reported that its not clear what those targets will be, but this will be really the largest Scale Conflict between the two big Players Israel and iran and the ramifications of that could be a very enormous, its been quite clear that the u. S. Has really not been able to calibrate or manage or guide developments in the region. They have not been able to influence to any significant degree the decisions of tHe Netanyahu government. And maybe there have been able to deter iran and a very limited way. But iran, as weve seen, has Hit Israel continues to support hezbollah and hamas are no major change there we heard there that israel ill hasnt given any assurances he wont target irans nuclear facilities. What do you think the u. S. Response will be if it does, particularly if they werent told in advance major initiatives that israel has taken without telling the u. S. And advance, and certainly without agreeing with us on this would be a much larger target. This is not the Gaza Strip and its not lebanon so it would be more of a breach. But i dont think the United States has any other option or any other setting at thiS Point. But to support israel, even if they disagree on the targeting or on the action if israel does target whatever wishes to target on iran iran is going to retaliate and then the u. S will be in the position of quote, unquote, defending israel effectively, the u. S. Is locked in to whatever prime Minister Netanyahu decides to do so as youve noted, there are a couple of times israels basically kept the us out of the loop. And despite all of the u. S. Calls for Peace Deescalation pieces is even more elusive. Now than it was before. So, so all of this constant theme that youre saying there, what does it suggest then about us influence on israel seems almost nonexistent influence, especially with the prime Minister Netanyahu, who was born in the u. S. Knows the us well, has been confronting, i would say several us President S in the past. Hes quite practiced in this he does know and you recall in the u. S congress, he got 50 standing ovations from a majority of both parties so he know that he knows that President Biden or the biden administration doesnt have a lot of political clout when it comes. To the supportive, supportive israel, they cannot really Withdrawal Pause military support they cannot pause financial support. So their Tool Kit is extremely limited and i think prime Minister Netanyahu knows that all too well. I think the real Discussion Visa V targeting in iran is more about what would the consequences of different targeting be more than the u. S. Position in brief, if they target nuclear installations, most experts believe that iran will withdraw from the nonproliferation treaty, go underground and go as fast as it can towards a nuclear bomb that would not be a good outcome for israel or the u. S. If they target Oil Installations and Theres Risk of iran Targeting Oil installations across the waters of the gulf. Having a global Energy Crisis and so on. So Bombing Iran is very different than Bombing Lebanon or gaza you touched on the u. S. Domestic implications and i want to ask you this because President Biden responded to this, he was asked whether israels actions were part of an effort to influence the u. S election heres what he said do you have any worries that netanyahu may be trying to influence the election and thats why he has not agreed to a diplomatic silver no administration how can israel more than i have None None None i think bibi should remember that hes trying to influence the election now, i dont know, but im not counting on that so as you said, a few minutes ago, He Netanyahu knows the us well, hes finally tuned us. Domestic politics is he trying to influence the u. S. Election . Do you think are or is he as you kind of touched on there taking advantage of the fact that bidens hands are are kind of the tied by the election yeah. I think its more the latter. I mean, netanyahu and many israelis feel after October 7 that there in an existential fight. This is much bigger than influencing an election even a us election. There are quite aware that any administration in the u. S. Will be supportive of israel as biden said, the Biden Ministration has been very supportive of israel. So i think you know, their reaction to October 7, especially with a rightwing government in place. They went overboard in devastating the Gaza Strip and seeking to maybe reoccupy it they turned to the northern front with hezbollah with a great Breakthrough And Intelligence capacities. And really dealt almost a Knockout Blow to hezbollah and now they feel without hezbollah in its operational shape, iran is very vulnerable and now is their chance to go after its, i think theyre making their calculations based on their own sort of perception of threat. And opportunity the fact i think its not a secret that Benjamin Netanyahu favors trump over biden. I think thats obvious, but i dont think theyre making these major decisions just in order to influence an election. But perhaps yes, i do think they would prefer trump over over Vice President harris. I dont think thats a secret now, well have to leave it there, but really appreciate your analysiS Paul. Solemn.
