This is brand new video just to us. Israel says it struck the central headquarters of hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. You can see in this video the blast was massive. And israeli official tells Nbc News the target was hezbollahs powerful leader. It comes as israel has been systematically targeting high level commanders of the u. S. Designated terror group, both within and abroad, which prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says israel will continue to do in order to defend itself from groups looking to eliminate the state. Nbcs Matt Bradley is live in beirut for us. Also with us, aaron david miller, former arabisraeli negotiator, and Senior Fellow at the endowment for peace. Give us the latest. Reporter we were here a couple of hours ago when our walls of our hotel shook. You cant see it now but it was just over my right shoulder here in southern beirut. This is a neighborhood that has endured repeated israeli bombardments all week long. And most of that, as you just mentioned in your introduction have been targeting top level commanders. They have also killed quite a few other people including civilians. This was the largest by far that we have heard in beirut, ever since we came last week, really, ever since i have been covering this since october 8th, the day after the October 7th attacks set off the latest round of firing. Israelis said they were targeting the Secretary General of hezbollah, it looks as though, according to israeli media, that its not certain that he was killed, and in fact, it looks as though he might have survived, according to arab media. Were going to have to wait to hear more about that. Regardless, this seems like a pivotal moment, a real Paradigm Shift in israels now weeklong escalation of conflict with hezbollah. What happens next, we dont really know, but this could all be preparing for what we have heard in just the past couple of days from top level Israeli Military generals that there is going to be a Ground Invasion or preparations being made for a Ground Invasion of lebanon or this could just be trying to push or trying to sort of Decapitate Hezbollah and trying to cow them into stopping attacks on northern israel. Its unclear, but we have heard that Benjamin Netanyahu, israels Prime Minister, has cut short his trip to New York, to the United Nations and is now headed back to israel tonight. Its rare that we see the Prime Minister traveling on shabbat, so that is kind of new, and that makes it look as though something big is either about to happen or the israelis are expecting a massive retaliation. I was going to ask you about the timing. Given that its very rare for him to travel on shabbat, i was wondering if the timing was linked to his speech at the u. N. Where he said he was going to go after hezbollah, he was going to go after their leaders, they were going after anybody who was threatening the state of israel. Now im wondering if we can say that the two were linked. Npr is reporting that there was a pretty big Funeral Service and marching through the streets in that neighborhood for another Hezbollah Leader at the time of the strike. I have to tell you, its unclear. I try to hesitate when i try to make connections between timings of things. Its all speculation, and we dont really know. The fact is this did happen really moments after Benjamin Netanyahu finished his very controversial and much anticipated speech to the u. N. General assembly where he said he was going to be doing exactly this. Pursuing not just hezbollah and attacks around the country, but also that he was confronting iran, hezbollahs named benefactor. You know, the fact is all of this is happening in the midst of a real diplomatic scurry, an attempt by various countries here in the arab world, also in the west, as far as australia, the european union. Its led by france and the united states, trying to get lebanon, and israel to agree to some sort of deal that would bring some measure of peace to Southern Lebanon, and northern israel, and maybe halt what could be coming, an israeli Ground Invasion. Hezbollah isnt involved in the negotiations because of course most of the countries dont have direct diplomatic ties with hezbollah because in the united states, for example, they consider hezbollah to be a terrorist organization. They do not speak to them, the idea being that lebanon would exceed the deal and then lebanon would do its best to reign in and abide by the terms. Whether or not the diplomats get to something, whether or not theyre able to ink this deal in time to prevent an israeli Ground Invasion that could kill scores more than we have already seen, an unprecedented week of Fighting And Death in Southern Lebanon. We are seeing, like, more than 700 people have now been killed, ever since the latest escalation broke off in earnest on monday. Thats more than we have seen since the end, in a single day or a severalday long period. Its more than we have seen since the end of the Civil War in lebanon in 1990. So all of this really does look as though its pointing to major events going forward, what those are. Your guess is as good as mine. Yeah, i will say this, Benjamin Netanyahu tried to reframe the Conversation Today and reframe the blame at the u. N. He blamed hezbollah as hes blamed hamas for putting missiles in homes, rockets in garages, putting civilians at risk. He said the israelis have told civilians to Leavement Hezbollah leave. Hezbollah is The One taking lives. And he talked about systematically going after senior Military Commanders who he says not only are shedding israeli blood but american and french blood, trying to call out allies here as well, and hes going to continue to go after their replacements. And the replacements and the replacements, until they meet their objectives. Aaron david miller, im going to bring you in on this. Matt is talking about how this moment feels different than others. Whats your sense of things . I have been really reluctant and hesitant to make a judgment that were really headed for what i think we all fear, which is a major escalation between israel and hezbollah, which not only involves an israeli Ground Up in Southern Lebanon, but Hezbollahs Use of its Precision Guided Missiles of which they have around 400. They can launch 3,000 missiles a day. That sort of saturation against israel, even with israels sophisticated air layer defense, iron dome, David Sling and the arrow, youre talking hundreds if not more israeli deaths, the infrastructure grid, and youre talking about an israeli Preemption And Reaction in lebanon that would kill thousands of lebanese. Southern beirut, which has as many as A Million people. We havent gotten the Casualty Reports yet, the lebanese ministry of Health Thing was reporting two dead and 78 wounded. Thats clearly very preliminary. Going after nasrallah who moves around a lot, rarely seen in public, the question i have tactically is whether or not netanyahu had given a Standing Order to israeli intelligence, and idf, should they identify his location to act and maybe just hours before the Prime Ministers speech, perhaps even during the speech, they identified where he was and then tried to strike. Sparse hezbollahs reaction, it seems to me, which was on Life Support even before this happened, proposed by the u. S. And french is simply not going to work. Hezbollah has a credibility, legitimacy problem, depending on the Death Count in the southern suburbs. You could be talking the largest single casualty strike. That means this is going to go on with the risks of escalation, higher, i think, than they have ever been. So they fired on Tel Aviv the other day, hezbollah did. The houthis fired again on Tel Aviv. I believe it was late last night. Early this morning. Israeli time. There has been calls by hezbollah to iran to get into this battle. We have a statement from Irans Embassy in beirut, blaming the israelis, saying theyre committing bloody massacre. Theyre targeting densely populated residential neighborhoods, issues false justifications. I mean, hezbollah is putting these missiles into neighborhoods. I dont think we should lose sight of that. How likely is it, i mean, iran has said it doesnt want to get involved. Doesnt want a regional war. How likely is it that iran is going to become more directly involved . At what point will that country feel that their hands are tied or they will be forced to move. I guess thats the million Dollar Question . I mean, i think, look, hezbollah is an iranian proxy and asset. Its high trajectory weapons are preserved, however, not to liberate palestine or even fight israelis, its a contingency in the event the u. S. And or israel, engaged in direct attacks against iranian territory, particularly against iranian nuclear enrichment facilities. Thats what those high trajectory weapons are there for. I think for teheran, still very risk averse, needs to make a calculation. How much trouble is hezbollah in . Is it going to reserve its response against israel in the event the Israelis Escalate by launching a Ground Op into Southern Lebanon . Or is it going to show support in response to the assassination, which the israelis have not claimed responsibility for, on July 31st in teheran. They vowed they were going to respond to that. So, again, the cusp of escalation, yes, but not quite at the point where i think were moving towards something the Middle East has never experienced before. Which would be a multifront war, not with Ground Forces but the use of uavs, ai, cyber, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, strikes against population centers, an israeliiranian exchange, with the u. S. , with at least one Carrier Strike brought into the east with tremendous fire power. Were moving closer, perhaps to that. Again aaron diplomacy, maybe, but not now. I want to interrupt because were looking at live images of Search And Rescue in beirut. We have just seen, it appears to be a father and at least two young children and another, i think a third as well, pulled from the rubble of at least one of the strikes. It appears it was multiple strikes. Maybe it was a Cascading Effect from other Ground Level Artillery or missiles. Im not sure. But were watching these images of families being taken away and giving medical treatment. These are exactly the images that i imagine that groups like hezbollah and hamas, and iran want the world to see, the destruction caused by israeli missiles. Look what theyre doing to families. Look what theyre doing look at the way they treat lebanese life, the way they treat palestinian life, et cetera. How does israel reckon with the need to go after hezbollah or hamas, and the fact that they are embedded in residential neighborhoods. They are embedded within civilian populations. Well, youve watched 11 months now, of israels efforts to prosecute a war. Its not going so well for Israels Reputation . Well, no, the israeli brand, whether or not its permanently tarnished or undermined here or in the international community, thats clearly the headline, whether thats going to be the Trend Line is unclear to me. That is going to turn, i think, katy, on whether or not theres a Leadership Change in israel, which is critically important. You know, i would only point out the obvious, when the Middle East trends toward the positive, when were talking about deescalation and actually reaching agreements, its because we have leaders that are willing and able to rise above perhaps their own ideologies, to do whats in the best interest of their respective people, king hussein, and rabin. Apartheid ended in South Africa in a way no one would have participated largely because of mandela, and i would say without putting Benjamin Netanyahu in the same category as hasan, and the supreme leader. If these are the four leaders that are essentially making the tactical and strategic decisions for this piece of the region, i mean, i think were in serious trouble. And again, i would not trivialize Israels Security needs, its requirements, legitimacy of responding against hezbollah. I mean, after all, this is not israel and the palestinians. This is israel and an organization in violation of its security resolution, that compelled them to the river, and israel has every right, it seems to me to protect its border and see the return of its citizens. The implications of carrying out that right. Yeah. Involving moral and ethical choices, and the deaths of innocents. Thats where this becomes almost impossible to unwind but imperative is to make it stop. Yeah. I think thats well put. Aaron david miller, thank you very much. Matt bradley, thank you as well. We hope youre safe out there. To our other top story. It may not be a hurricane anymore, but helene is still pretty dangerous. This is brand new drone video, youre going to see it in a moment, showing the widespread destruction in tampa. The storm made landfall in florida as a category 4 and now as a tropical depression, its rushing inland bringing flooding and powerful winds to georgia, the carolinas, and tennessee. At this hour, the Death Toll is 25. Most killed by falling trees. Others by drowning. 4 Million people are also without power from florida to kentucky. The rising Water Levels are now the biggest risk. Flood emergencies and evacuations are happening throughout the southeast, including in north carolina, where Lake Lore Dam is overflowing. In South Pasadena florida, it is worse. And fire, that was this overnight. Look at these houses on fire amid the Flood Waters. Meanwhile, In Atlanta, welfare checks looking for anyone who needs a ride out to safety. Weve got our reporters in the major hot spots. Lets begin in georgia where at least 11 people have died. Nbcs Priya Sridhar is live In Atlanta for us. Reporter thats right. Here In Atlanta, there was a Flood Emergency issued. Thats extremely rare. Sometimes we see Flood Watches and flood warnings, but a Flood Emergency is something that people In Atlanta basically never see. Thats because of what happened right behind me here. This is one of several neighborhoods here In Atlanta thats basically completely submerged. If you take a look at the mailbox behind me in the o vehicle, you can see just how deep that water is. Many residents were able to get out overnight, as they discovered their homes were flooded. Others ended up getting stranded inside their Homes Today awaiting Rescue Teams to come and take them out. There were dozens of swift water rescues. Fire crews going Door To door, asking people to evacuate. This is still very much an ongoing problem right now. Also, those heavy Wind Gusts that you mentioned, knocking down power, leaving about A Million people here in georgia without power. Governor kemp, of course, issuing a State Of Emergency here. Every single county across the state, being touched by this tropical storm. And of course, all of this is also having impacted on the worlds busiest airport here In Atlanta. Dozens of Flight Cancellations and delays, likely to have a Ripple Effect across the country. The Coast Guard released this footage of a Man And Dog being rescued after their sailboat became disabled off floridas Sanibel Island as a hurricane was nearing. They were placed in a basket, as you can see, and lifted safely into a helicopter. Its one of the many rescues we have seen out of florida. Lets go to Jesse Kirsch in perry. It looks dry there, not good, but dry. Reporter i think this is just another reminder. We talk about hurricanes, the biggest concern is always the water compared to the wind. The wind is no joke either. We have damage inland. Im going to have our producer come with me. The building, the windows are Blown Out. Were going to walk over. That is also something were dealing with, power outages, and Cell Reception issues. Theres shattered glass along the wall. A Brick WallBlown Out. Last year, Blown Out, replaced with siding, also Blown Out as well. One business in downtown perry, if we move over to the main road now, youll see traffic moving. The walmart is open. Had the lights on remarkable. Thats good news. Its cool in there because it is sunny and hot out here. The Damage Aspect seems to be okay compared to what we could have been seeing. We took a direct hit from the eye wall. Our team was out there briefly, and we were being moved by the winds ourselves, and made our way inside, and just looking at all the things that could have become projectiles, things remarkably look okay, all things considered in perry. Jesse kirsch, thank you so much. To give a sense of how ferocious this storm was, look at this doorbell cam, it shows Helenes Storm Surge sweeping past a driveway, moments before the camera was submerged by Flood Waters, and flooding remains a big concern across the southeast. Nbcs Bill Karins is Tracking Helene for us. Where is it going next . Its dissipating and heading into areas of kentucky. When we look back at this storm, so its a category 4. You expect really ferocious winds in destruction with the wind, and historic Storm Surge. We got the Storm Surge but the wind pictures we have been seeing, especially perry, right through the eye, 40 minutes after landfall, you would think it would look worse. Im happy that its not a devastating scene there. The winds may have underperformed, but the Storm Surge and the rain, way overperformed. Mount mitchell, 2 feet of rain. Dillard, georgia, atlanta, by the way, their wettest two days ever records in the citys history. As far as the Rainfall Totals in other areas, columbia, south carolina, a good deal of rain. The mountains of tennessee have picked up considerable rain. As far as the Wind Gusts go, the highest recorded was in perry, where jesse was located. 99 Miles Per Hour. If you had a 140 Miles Per Hour storms, you would expect a couple of gusts higher than 100. This made landfall in a remote location. Its a tropical depression. Its really falling apart. Everywhere that has had the historic flooding. The sun is out. Not adding to the problems. The wind is dying down. Gusts to 40 on the coast of south carolina. The Wind Damage Portion of this storm is over. As far as the flooding, we have to wait for rivers to crest, especially in the mountains of north carolina. This is where we still have a Flood Emergency in a place, and then later tonight and tomorrow, we could get additional Heavy Rain in memphis, nashville, heading toward the ohio river, lexington, cincinnati, so this storm, there will never be another hurricane helene. The name will be retired. Its so widespread. Thats what makes this storm different. Its not where the eye made landfall. Its a really big storm. Bill karins, thank you very much.

[music playing] new York City mayor, Eric Adams turned himself in to federal authorities after prosecutored filed a public Corruption Indictment against him yesterday. In what prosecutors say was a decade long Bribery Scheme that he used to get himself into City Hall. He pleaded not guilty and says he will not step down. Joining us now from outside the courthouse is nbcs tom winter. Also joining us, emma fits simmons, City HallBureau Chief for the New York times, and catherine christian, msnbc legal analyst. Tom, what happened in Court Today . Reporter well, the headline and the quote, katy, from the mayor himself is i am not guilty, your honor. Thats what he told the Magistrate Judge overseeing this portion of the case, and go on to the judge who will take this through trial. The next hearing will be on wednesday where we get A Little Bit more clarity as far as the timing here. We did hear from mayor Eric Adams, attorneys suggesting they hope this a speedy trial. They want to get things moving. They want to put their feet on the gas on this. They also say theyre going to file a motion to dismiss. Its A Little Bit unusual, they havent exchanged any discovery yet here. They seem to think they have a reason to attack this without seeing any of the governments evidence. They have a couple more things they said outside of Court Today. Lets take a listen. There are no emails, Text Messages or any corroboration whatsoever that the mayor knew about anything having to do with these campaign donations. The entire body of evidence is one staffer. One staffer that says there was a conversation. What you have not learned is that that staffer has lied. And the government is in possession of that lie. Reporter so from the indictment we know there were a number of Text Message exchanges that were cited during this. The question here is whether or not and perhaps this is what the mayors attorneys want to do is saying, well, the alleged activity here and the alleged legal conduct stopped with the staffer and, in fact, didnt continue in any suggestion of such is a high. Of course well see how this all bears out. It perhaps does not explain the Mayors Behavior about changing his cell Phones Password after having two of his workrelated and City Related Phones taken from him. Then he changed his personal phone, once that was requested by subpoena, changed the password, had been told the fbi, he didnt remember the password. Theres that conduct thats included in the indictment as well. Im sure that will be addressed at some point by his defense. But the bottom line here is the mayor from new York City was in this federal courthouse behind me today, getting his fingerprints taken, getting booked into the system, hes released on his own signature, which means he promises to come back here for all sorts of court proceedings. The one thing he is limited in doing, he can talk to City Hall staffers, he can talk to family members, and some of whom may be around this case. He Cant Talk to them about the specific conduct and that theres some other individuals that are unnamed in the indictment. But referenced those individuals, he cant speak to. Thats kind of the parameters for this. Theres no other restriction hes going to have. Obviously detailed because of the threats that the mayor receives, so they know where he is, and they know where he says, the same place federal investigators searched yesterday. Catherine, im going back into the indictment. Theres a Text Message from an adams staffer asking a turkish Airlines Manager about a discounted flight telling him to make it look A Little Bit more real. The airline says im going to charge 50, the staffer says no. Airline manager said that would work, wouldnt it. Staffer says, no, 50, what . Quote a proper price, when the Airline Manager asked how much should i change, the staffer said every step is being watched right now, A Thousand Dollars or so, let it be somewhat real. You heard a moment ago, the Mayors Lawyer saying the indictment relies on the lies of one staffer. Does the entire indictment rely on this one staffer . It doesnt. I know alex, i work with him in the d. A. s office. Hes an attack dog. In this indictment you have adams staffer, employee, adams fundraiser and allegedly, they either deleted messages after a Search Warrant was executed. They encouraged people to lie to federal officials, and in this case, this staffer is trying to basically conceal illegal conduct. The favorable treatment that mayor adams allegedly has received. So hes a good defense attorney. Thats what you say. But clear when you read the indictment, there are multiple people, probably about a dozen who are in the indictment who are connected to the mayor as a staffer, a fundraiser, a businessman, an employee, his partner, his significant other. There are people mentioned all throughout this indictment. How quickly can this go to trial if the hearings all go as planned for the prosecution . Within a year, possibly let me say, defense attorneys dont want to go to trial quickly. You want time to interview all of these people who are in the indictment into doing an investigation, but youll always say, lets go to trial right away. You always say. All right. Lets talk about the politics of this. Emma, mayor adams says hes not going to step down. Governor Kathy Hochul Hasnt really said one thing either way. She has been pretty loyal to him in the past. What sort of pressure might force Kathy Hochul to remove him . She released a statement last night that was pretty interesting. She said that he should make the right decision for the people of new York City, and she could force him out, and he could also face pressure from behind the scenes. From Hakeem Jeffries and other democrats, several congress people have called on him to resign. And hes facing a lot of local pressure, but the mayor has been adamant hes not going to vine, and one reason he might want a speedy trial, hes facing reelection next year, and the primary is june. His team is hoping to get this out of the way and for the mayor to be exonerated before that primary, when hes trying to get a second term. Why might Hakeem Jeffries want to pressure the governor to get him to remove mayor adams . Al sharpton said yesterday that he was frustrated that the mayor had criticized the White House and said that perhaps this prosecution was in response to the Mayors Criticism of the White House over the migrant crisis. We received 200,000 migrants until the new York City, and the mayor said that would destroy the city. When he was indicted he said he was being persecuted in part because of that. The criticism of the White House, is there a concern that this might affect some Down Ballot Races . Might affect the races that got republicans the majority back in 2022, the places in west chester, hudson valley, long island, that democrats want to take back . Its certainly not what Hakeem Jeffries and hochul want to be talking about right now, but the mayor has his political future on the line. Hes the citys second black mayor. David den kins, the first black mayor served one term. The mayor has been adamant hes running for reelection, and staying put in office. If he resigns, the public advocate could take over, and the Left Leaning Public Advocate has been preparing, taking steps in case that happened. Emma, tom winter, and catherine christian, thank you very much.

Attorney general Merrick Garland announced charges against three iranians accused of hacking the trump campaign. Nbcs Ken Dilanian is following the story for us. So what did the ag say they did . Katy, this indictment was long expected. He says that they were involved in a long Standing Hacking Campaign against various former american officials and journalists that culminated when they stole material from the trump campaign, and offered it very recently to journalists and members of the biden harris campaign. The attorney said the Intelligence Community concluded that none of the members replied to those emails, and look, these people are in iran, iranian revolutionary Guard Core hackers, outside the reach of u. S. Justice, charged with Wire Fraud and support for terrorism. The idea here, the Attorney General said, was to get the message out to the american people in as much detail as possible, and theyre doing this in a variety of ways, this indictment, The One involving rt, regular intelligence briefings to journalists about foreign interference in the election, this is in contrast to what happened in 2016, when the russians hacked the democrats, released all of these emails, the media published them, and only much later did the government tell us what happened. Now theyre getting it out now. They want the public to be on notice that particularly iran, Russia And China are interfering right now in American Politics with hidden propaganda efforts, with Hack And Dump campaigns, and they want the media to be judicious in what we publish. They want the public to understand where theyre getting their information, and the message to these adversaries is, you know, were on top of this, we will find you and try to hold accountable. Ken dilanian, thank you very much. In an apparent about face, former President Trump met with ukraines president Volodymyr Zelenskyy at trump tower, right here in New York. A surprising turn considering just Yesterday Trump accused zelenskyy of making, quote, little nasty aspersions against him. Nbcs Shaquille Brewster is live in walker, michigan, where Donald Trump will be A Little Bit later this hour. Hes holding a rally out there. So whats the latest on the ground from there, shaq . Reporter hi there, katy, were still waiting for the former president to take the stage. It does look like hes running A Little Bit late. I dont know if you heard some of that applause. It was for Rfk Jr. Who made somewhat of a Surprise Appearance here. If you get into the strategy A Little Bit, one of his top messages was to remind people that despite the fact that they will see his name on the ballot, he wants those votes to go for former president Donald Trump. Of course you mentioned Donald Trump had that key meeting with ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier today at trump tower. That was something that was on again, off again. It was some back and forth beforehand, but trump posted later that it was a great meeting and later said that he would be The One to end the war and attacking Vice President harris saying she would not be able to, and the devastation that you see there. You can expect the message here to be on the economy. You can also expect him to go after Vice President harris, who is in arizona, who will be talking about immigration. Thats something that we have been hearing a lot from him as well. I talked to some of his supporters about some language that we heard from the former president on the issue of immigration. Listen to A Little Bit of that exchange. You heard the former President Yesterday use some tough language against immigrants and said that they are infecting our country. When you hear that, what do you think . I agree, at least the illegal ones that are coming over here and committing crimes. They shouldnt be here. But she lets them be here. And she will continue if they vote her in. Reporter i mentioned that in this Manufacturing Plant in Kent County, its a Battleground County in this battleground state, the expected topic will be the economy, will be manufacturing, and ill tell you, Vice President harris and the democratic party here are already firing back at what they expect to hear from the former president. Vice president harris releasing a statement saying that Donald Trump is the biggest loser in terms of manufacturing. Kind of repeating that language that we heard in that interview with stephanie ruhle, and the dnc putting up billboards, not just here in Kent County but the Detroit Area where Donald Trump will be later today, talking about his manufacturing record, and reminding folks that plants did close, especially one in warren. You did see some plant closures during Donald Trumps presidency. There was the carrier closure, didnt close at first, a couple of years into his term, moved jobs to mexico. The Fox Trot Plant that Donald Trump touted but never got up and running. Shaquille brewster, thank you very much. Hurricane helene broke Storm Surge records across tampa.
