I have been briefed on the latest developments in Israel And Lebanon and my team is in constant contact with our counterparts and we are working to deescalate in a way that allows people to return to their home safely. I want you to know that i remain committed to security and i look forward to discussions. Thank you everyone. John President Biden reacting moments ago but not taking any questions on the major escalation in the Middle East as the pentagon announces a more u. S. Troops are on the way there. Israel says it has hit more than 300 hezbollah targets and forced operations in lebanon soon. What a way to start the week. Im John Roberts in washington. I think it will be a busy one. Sandra for this is developing situation. I am Sandra Smith in New York and good to be with you. This is America Reports. Lebanese officials say this is the deadliest day in the country in nearly 20 years with more than 270 people killed. Israel warned civilians ahead of time that it would be targeting hezbollah Weapons Caches which it said were hidden and houses across the country. John these attacks come after the idf took out several toptier commanders over the weekend peered Fox Team Coverage for you. Lieutenant general Keith Kellogg and senior white House Correspondent peeved to see her standing by it but we start with Mike Tobin and he has live in Tel Aviv with the latest for us. Took to the airwaves and spoke directly to the people of lebanon telling them that the fight was not with them but with hezbollah as israel has launched a punishing campaign they said that they have struck but the latest we have from the lebanese health said 75 people have been killed in 1,000 injured. Israel took the step of sending Text Messages and calls to people in the targeted areas warning them to steer clear of buildings used by hezbollah to store weapons. It lebanese officials dismissed the weapons as psychological warfare. The idf released a video making the point that the targets are indeed rockets ready to launch. One example shows a Cruise Missile hidden inside of a home with a designated opening for the missiles to be launched. As mentioned israels Prime Minister spoke directly to the people of lebanon. For too long hezbollah has been using you as human shields. It placed rockets in your living rooms and missiles in your garage. Those rockets and missiles are aimed directly at our cities, directly at our citizens. To defend our people against hezbollah strikes, we must take out those weapons. Speak of the Homefront Command ordered people in Northern Israel to avoid traveling in large gatherings. Schools been canceled on both sides of the border as more warfare is anticipated. A few hezbollah rockets to get through israels defenses. One struck a house in a northern Town Parallel with the sea of galilee. The family was home but they had retreated it to the Bomb Shelter and they are all okay. Another two rockets got through the israeli defenses. No reports of direct injuries but there are reports of people hurting themselves in the Panic Due to the rocket fire. Israel has turned up the heat on hezbollah for almost a week now starting with the electronic sabotage that began on tuesday. Then the Air Strike into the neighborhood and the suburbs of beirut. That is said to have taken out the top Command Structure of the brigades of hezbollah and now you have this punishing Air Campaign intended to cripple Hezbollahs Ability to fire into israel but lebanese civilians are caught in the cross fire. John we will see where it goes from here. Mike, thank you. Sandra President Biden is headed to new York City this afternoon to address the u. N. General assembly which kicks off tomorrow. The war in the Middle East likely at the top of the agenda. Senior white House Correspondent Peter Doocy has the latest for us. What did President Biden just say about his remarks that he will deliver tomorrow here in new York City . He said come and listen. Thats as much of a tease as we got out of the president. He said it while he was walking out of a celebration in the East Room for the Gotham City football club. They just won the national Womens Soccer League and we do know that a big focus for President Biden tomorrow is going to be ukraine. The ongoing war in ukraine and he is still grappling with a decision about whether or not to approve their use of weapons that would allow them to attack russia further into russia. Have you made your decision to allow ukraine to use longrange weapons . No. Pretty straightforward for the other big priority a ceasefire In Gaza various reports over the last week are citing diplomats down on chances of a ceasefire before the election. The president s own team seems to accept that as long as the head of hamas is still out there somewhere. It is certainly apparent to us that he remains the big obstacle here to getting a deal and it is the case that he has done nothing in the recent weeks to prove he is willing to move this forward in a goodfaith way. He is the major obstacle, No Doubt about it. Vice president harris will let President Biden have all of the Spotlight Conducting Diplomacy in New York. She will not attend the united nations General Assembly but this week she is going to have her own personal meetings at separate those with President Biden with the leaders of the uae and ukraine. Sandra we will be watching for all of that. Peter doocy at the White House for us. Thank you. John lets bring in Fox News Contributor and former security advisor Keith Kellogg. Lets look at what happened over the past weeks. Israel blew up hezbollah pagers, then they reached for the emergency radios, they blew those Up To. If you want to wage an effective campaign whether its War Or Something less against her enemy, first thing you do is take down the comms and is so Mistrust And Everything that they have. Thank you for having me. You nailed it. Thats exactly right. The last thing you do before you start a major campaign is you knock down the Command And Control and you attack the key leaders. That is exactly what they did with the pager attack. All of those people that were hit with those pagers were leaders of Consequence And Meeting some type of leadership within hezbollah. Israel has moved past gaza. They have shifted their focus to hezbollah and to lebanon right now and you will start seeing that more and more with attacks on the pagers, the Command And Control. You will see this escalating. Listen to President Biden just a minute ago. Theres a huge difference between rhetoric and reality. He is talking off a card. Theres no deescalation. The israelis are clearly escalating this fight and this will continue. With netanyahu going to the u. N. if he smart he will blow them up and he will say 20 years ago the u. N. Security council passed a resolution, 1701 that was supposed to solve this problem in lebanon. Hezbollah was supposed to disarm. The guy who signed that agreement was the leader of hezbollah now and they were supposed to move north of the Otani River and they never did. I think the israelis are committed to finishing that fight right now, whatever it will take for them to do it to allow those 60,000 displaced civilians from israel back into their living abouts. John use on the president reacting with the president of the united arab emirates but earlier he was asked about this. This was on sunday as he was returning to the White House. Listen to what he said here. Are you worried about rising tensions in the Middle East . Yes, i am but we are going to do everything that we can to keep a wider war from breaking out. John he said he is worried about it. But heres the thing for israel. They have some 6,200,000 people in the northern part of israel who have been displaced for the better part of a year now. Because they started striking out the day after october the 7th. And israel is saying enough of this. We want people to go home. And to them, this is the only way of doing it. Israel does not trust the United States right now to be any type of peacemaker at all. They disregard with the United States will do. They will handle this on their own and i think they will be able to do it. You can really see that they have shifted away from gaza. Look at the Air Strikes and at the map that the targets have had. Look what they did to the Command And Control and look at them taking out major infrastructure. They are planning to go in really hard and they will solve this. I think netanyahu has it right. Make a plan, go forward with it, and eliminate from the south of the Otani River, all hezbollah operations to allow those people between 60,100,000 to return to their homes. I dont think this will deescalate at all. I think you are looking at escalation not only Today And Tomorrow but the coming Weeks Pair this fight is far from finished. John Robert Charles is the former Assistant Secretary of state in the bush 43 administration. Heres what he said on Fox Friends about the resolve from the biden administration to do something about this. Listen here. This is the choice between Deterrence And Appeasement and in The End, unfortunately the Bidenharris Crowd has been about appeasement. I dont think theres any room for that anymore. John no room for appeasement. Question to you because you know him and he worked for him. How does this situation unfold if trump becomes president . We never wouldve been in this position if President Trump had been there because he would have reached out to the leaders and tried to work something through but the biggest thing he wouldve done, he wouldve picked a side. He wouldve said who is good and who is bad, who sighed we want to be on and he wouldve gone on the side of israel and he wouldve used massive force. This is what we have done before. I will go back to what president nixon did in the Yom Kippur War when he said you put every Cargo Airplane the United States had come up fill it with armor and scented israel and said we will let them finish this fight. Thats what you have to do. Pick a side. I understand the people backing hezbollah are the iranians. This is a fight between good and evil and Israel And Iran and we need to support them. If we had done that earlier and said that this is how we will go, they wouldve quieted down. This did not happen in the four years President Trump was involved in the Middle East. It happened under biden because they have let deterrence lied. Thats because you need to parts of deterrence. One is capability of the troops, the manpower, whatever it takes to get there but it also his will. If you dont have the will, all the capability that you have is zeroed out and if you dont how will you dont have deterrence for it President Trump had the will and he showed it multiple times with people in the region when he took them out and eliminated isis and of those hard activities that he took from moving the embassy, to Tel Aviv to jerusalem, when we were told it would never happen at all. This how you have to handle that part of the world paired with absolute strength. John we will see how this has in the days and weeks ahead. General, thank you for joining us. Appreciate it. What we are seeing now is what Michael Oren was pitching back on October 15th of last year where he wrote an oped that was met with criticism that said lets Leave Gaza alone for now. Hamas is not going anywhere. What israel really needs to do is go after hezbollah in the north because they are the real threat. It seems that israel is doing that backwards but they are finally getting around to what he said. Sandra and obviously putting a lot of emphasis on the u. N. General assembly this week kicking off tomorrow. Coming up we will have the representative from florida joining us on the new York Studio and the Idf Spokesperson will be joining us and highlighting the fact that President Biden is going to be sitting for a live interview on wednesday. In the middle of all of this. Obviously an unscripted format. The first that we will really hear from him since a lot has happened. That will be an interesting moment as well. John a lot has happened. Thats an understatement paired we look forward to everything coming up in the next two hours. Sandra The Border Crisis Climbing in chicago.
