iranians, or anybody else, ever had any doubt that israel could have -- iran if they wanted to. so deterrence is already been there on israel's front. i think there's been less of a deterrent from iran, although, because of hezbollah and because of hamas and the houthis, i think israel's always been careful to understand that, you know, iran could do serious damage to israel if it chose. usually with its proxies. whether it's going to attack another ird see commander in syria or in lebanon or anywhere else, it's hard to say. it really depends on, you know, netanyahu and his hard-line government right now , whether they want to bring iran more into the , into the fight. >> it's always a pleasure. hank you so much for your analysis and insight tonight. take care, my friend. >> thank you, thank you. after the break, fired for protesting. i'll break down the tensions at google that reached a boiling
there has been a raid in the occupied west bank. tell us more about that. really interesting, isn't it? it is notjust focussed on gaza. we have had tensions on the northern border, again, overnight and particularly now in the west bank, the palestinian occupied west bank, where there has been repeated clashes between israeli forces and local militants, ever since october the 7th. the latest news we have is that the israeli military operation, in the palestinian town of tulkarm, and in that, ten people, including a senior palestinian islamicjihad commander were reported to have been killed. four israeli soldiers were reported to have injured. ever since 7 october about a50 people have been killed in these clashes between israelis and palestinians in the west bank, and thousands of people have been arrested. it shows just how dangerous the entire region is. the war in gaza is above and beyond. thousands of people, 30,000 people plus, have been killed in gaza.
very, very vocal in the past for the last 20 years, really, about how horrible iran is and how we're going to strike a iran, how we're going to blow up their nuclear facilities if they don't, you know, stop their nuclear program. all of a sudden has been completely silent since the iranian attack on, or since the day after the iranian attack on israel. >> how much do you think deterrence has been re- established, if you will, for both of these countries? do you think that israel will think twice about going after a senior member of the iranian military, and whether it's in syria or elsewhere in the region at this moment, because of iran's response? >> well, it's possible. i mean, i think the iranians taliation against israel for its killing of the very, very senior commander of the revolutionary guard in damascus and the iranian consulate building. and, and i think that they showed that they, i mean, they
nuclear facilities? >> for more on that, let's turn to fox news correspondent charlie painter. >> hello, charlie. hey, jonathan. fox news confirms that the targets of the attacks in iran were not nuclear nor civilian. and it does, though, like you said, raised questions on iran's nuclear. given that earlier thursday, tehran warned that if israel targeted iranian nuclear facilities that it had the ability to strike israeli nuclear sites. a senior commander in is wrong. iran's islamic revolutionary guard said thursday, quote, if the zionist regime wants to take action against nuclear centers and facilities, we will surely and categorically reciprocate with advanced missiles against their own nuclear sites. this irgc commander in charge of nuclear security warned that such a strike would make it possible for iran to review nuclear doctrine and deviate from the country's previous considerations. while it was unclear exactly what he meant, we know in 2015, a deal was introduced imposing
are seeing it on the ravel in the air via selective airstrikes of that go back to israel's really incredible dog unit they've been all over gaza for last six months that is israel's joint tactical controller unit and these are the guys who can get on the ground a tier one asset trays they can infiltrate into enemy territory commander level reconnaissance capabilities they will work in tandem with f-18's and f. 35's would not be surprised if they were working with those of 35 to take down those 350 plus missiles and drones that were fired into israel and those assets can infiltrate enemy territory undetected to be able to work with those missiles to get really high end it selectivity from where those shots will go it's a very important piece of israel's air force hand their incredible so i wouldn't be surprised if those operatives are spangled and
who else gets involved in this conflagration? again, the u.s. says it will come to israel's help in an offense of operation but if i ran a tax israel, committed helping defense. so this is clearly drawing the united states into something it wants no part of. >> andrea, thank you so much for joining us tonight. andrea mitchell. let's bring in our panel this evening, peter baker joins us. retired four-star u.s. army general, harry mccaffrey, a decorated combat veteran of vietnam and a former battlefield commander in the persian gulf. michael allen joins us, former special assistant to the president at the national security council peter, president biden urged israel not to escalate andrea just laid it out for us, what do you think the reaction is in the white house tonight?
fact that 300 missiles and drones were launched on israel, and the fact that the allies had to come together, a line was crossed on april 1st when that compound, the diplomatic compound was targeted any senior commander was killed. >> the discussion of the nature of that compound is still subject to dispute and it is still argued that that part of the compound was actually a military installation with no terry conversations going on between leadership and leaders, that it was a military installation and military figures were attacked and it was not the nature of, it was not consulate officials and it was not the actual conflict itself. this was a meeting inside syria
will not be giving up on and potentially might see to advance that goal. >> let us know if you hear anything, on with us, mike memoli, joining us now is nbc military analyst, the retired four start army general, billy mccaffrey, a decorated combat veteran of vietnam, a former battlefield commander in the persian gulf, a former cabinet minister, and a former cabinet member and a former member of the national security council. general, it is good to see you. i think we need a little historical context here, let's go all the way back to 1914 on an obscure streetcorner that seems like an isolated incident in world war i. the word here is that somebody miscalculate somewhere, and you have iran, which has allied with china and russia, and syria, and you have israel, which has allied with the western countries and you
>> and so are we coming back down ladder of escalation, joe? >> or have they both paused? exactly on the rung where we were a couple of days ago? no, there's no there's no coming back down for now. you know you kind of stay you stay where you are on that. on that ladder. you just imagine that, you know, we've crossed some red lines here, right? so the next time that israel kills and irgc commander. iran now has established that they will strike inside of israel. that's kind of their new reaction in response, israel will strike inside of iran. so for right. they're just putting a pause on escalation. we're just putting we're not putting a cap on it yet. it's putting a pause on escalation and us certainly playing a major role, it appears here. joe, president biden called restraint from israel.
there statement p. or chyme interested to see if there's going to be any follow-up here or if this is going to get put to bed. from my experience, israel really likes to go after the irgc leadership which we have seen just a couple of days ago with the hezbollah commander. like the colonel said, over 17 leaders have been killed within hezbollah and the terror groups that have gone after israel since october 7th. it's going to be interesting to see if there's going to be any follow-up or if this is the end of it right now. nobody knows what they are going to talk about right now but we will find out shortly and it will be interesting to see who speaks first. >> my assessment of this looking at the outside going in. i was in for weeks and weeks and a lot of our team in northern israel with the war between israel and hezbollah was going on and you get these messages
