About theres a war because once you really start inflaming the fire of conflict and of retaliation and country attenuation you need to war theres no doubt about that my sense is that since this was started by Prime Minister netanyahu is that israel has 3 messages to send or Prime Minister netanyahu has 3 messages to sent one to iran and hezbollah that israel is watching that israel is not accepting that iran continues to project and to modernize its projection of forces in syria and lebanon and that israel will act preemptively against any expansion of iranian influence within the region the 2nd message is to the israeli public and that is Prime Minister netanyahu is mr security or not but the hope and i was like to call it in israel and that israel could in trust him with its security and that he would always be there making sure preemptively and. Otherwise that iran will never iran or its all eyes or anyone else for that matter and the region. In danger of the secure to vizard and the 3rd message i believe although its an produce it one is to the Drum Administration because the for the last couple of years of the last couple of weeks im sorry at the sense that you 7 summit weve been hearing President Trump talking about the possibility of opening with iran negotiation is that over lifting partially some of the sanctions at least in us fight is a 2nd there is such is a concern and that is totally and utterly opposed by israel that would like to see iran squeezed unsanctioned and cornered continuously until it basically gives up so by expanding the operation for israel against iran certainly israel is obstructing the possibility of not any minimum normalization between iran and the west ma and i thought that was an interesting phrase they used there when you said israel is watching i suppose my question is in this situation who is watching israel i mean we know that the lebanese have already been having i dont know if we can even call them diplomatic conversations on the phone with the french but who is there in the International Community that steps in in this situation and watches the actions of both parties but particularly israel. You know i was thinking earlier when i heard about that i missed that how did it talking to the french and the american president s or leaders i was thinking about when he talks to president would he be asking mccrone by israel or a by iran. You know my sense is since a dialogue has started between. President micro and president rouhani before the g 7 meeting is that now france is trying to play the role of busy reintroducing or normalizing iran with the west especially after the american sanctions and hence my guess is that probably but as the macro would be putting some pressure on iran to put some pressure on hezbollah to tame down the escalation and any conversation with the United States would probably involve putting the pressure on israel in order Prime Minister that any out the team that counter retaliation because if anything one could assume that if everyone is interested in a limited kind of confrontation that it already happened meaning Israel Attacked over the last week and now hezbollah retaliated and that should be the end of that i mean more expansion i mean what is collation well that could have unintended consequences in the shower there joining us from london i dont see you saw our we will continue our coverage here on aljazeera on this developing story. Lets go to another story that we are closely following the sudden Led Military Coalition in yemen says its launched airstrikes against the rebels side of the capital sanaa it targeted the Detention Center in da mar on saturday which a house at least 170 people loyal to yemens u.

The war has killed tens of thousands and had a devastating impact on millions of yemenis nor about unmanly al jazeera well lets get more now from. Santa hi there mohamed i wonder what kind of questions are being asked. Because there have been repeated calls havent there for to stop these bombings in anything like the residential areas what kind of questions are being asked. Many questions the. People on the implant how come to saudi arabia its a look a should also a presence which has been the International Red cross its called its a big part of the International Red cross with other International Organizations are also with the United Nations and caution. We. Believe cleese is appealing. To some rights activists make saudi arabia accountable for what happened. For the for the act itself so far the. Many generally and also international bodies. Such attack on prisoners of for. A way to swap the 170 prisoners of war. Prisoners of war for. The for the saudi backed government. So far saudi fighters just like to end the rise. Of this way. Many also. The ample are they. Need a little slower speech in which he condemns such attacks and also he described. To. The saudi that the united arab emirates. Just told. Them they will just give them such a final deal they will and we will end up with. Tel. Overtopping agan would be the back forces try to recapture aden. With targets such governmental forces also have to full of all of the celts from the same side a supporting 4 the arabian mohammad step in that very. Began so that you gave us there and i mean that by just showing the complexity of this situation what we keep hearing from International Partners in this is that there is still they hope this elusive political situation but this is a reminder isnt of just how far away we are from that happening. There is no. 5 end of the tunnel be an answer for the spider be the simple those who for all are being held by the hopis inside this president. Have been a great fights in order to try and. Sleep in peace or even be. Working till today. To misread agreements and peace peace talks so killing these prisoners before we jump in agree to before. These and also pull the out of the saudi backed government the internationally recognized government. The last. Agreement is also. Very. Tentatively. To look at. Concrete concrete steps to another to fulfill all and to learn. Many hope that the International Community in particular who post old spice. Is close to innocent people and then fulfill their obligations in accord in plea agreements. Signed just in the last. Joining us there from Santa Mohammed saying he. Lets go back to our top story these are live pictures from the israel lebanon border in the last hour weve seen an escalation between the 2 sides israels confirmed hitting an army base repeatedly with the Lebanese Armed group has bosses its fighters destroyed an israeli tank israel has not yet confirmed any casualties the Lebanese Army says Israeli Forces have fired at least 4 sea shells of border villages in southern lebanon lets talk to Harry Fossett i would joins us live from northern israel how we when we last spoke it sounded as if things were perhaps calming bring us up to date. Well you know that still seems to be the case although as always in such a situation its very difficult to be definitive but certainly the reports coming from the lebanese side of the israeli shelling appears to have at least for now ceased and as you were hearing earlier the reports were that the targeting of those shells was close to the lebanese border appeared may need to be concentrated in on peoples empty areas still no confirmation from the Israeli Military as to exactly what happened in terms of the damage it sustained on the israeli side hezbollah is saying that among other things it hit an israeli tank or at least some kind of israeli vehicle the Israeli Military has said that its base was struck a base and vehicles were struck near to the village of avivim but theres been no official word on any potential israeli casualties the only person whos really spoken about that in anything approaching detail is the cabinet minister you know of government who simply said that he hadnt heard of any israeli casualties so far and howry i wonder from your perspective what you see as being the message that israel is trying to send here. Well i think internationally the main message its trying to send is that iran is at play in the region in ever more threatening and different ways there was a pretty extraordinary reaction if some reports here israel its a b. Believes from the israeli Prime Minister when he heard that the Iranian Foreign minister javad zarif would be invited to the g 7 a beer its a few days ago trying desperately to call the u. S. Regime the u. S. Administration get through to President Trump and try to ensure that there were no potential. In a rowing back on the u. S. Attitude towards iran and the nuclear deal a j c. P. O. A and so israel is trying to send a message that iran is a deepening threat in the region particularly in regards to its threat to israel and that is going to tackle iran not just in syria as it has been for several years now but increasingly in recent months its its very clear its been targeting iranian interests inside iraq and now its come out with a big detailed slew of intelligence that it says proves that iran and hezbollah are been conspiring to make precision guided missiles or adopt old missiles non precision guided with new technology to turn them into precision guided missiles and that is the basis for the more recent escalated action against hezbollah so thats the International Message thats being sent of course there is also a couple of weeks out from an election here a domestic message thats being sent. From Prime Minister netanyahu to his people here saying that he israels military and intelligence senior ranks know exactly what iran is up to and netanyahu can be trusted. To deal with it and keep israeli search herefore sit there joining us live from northern israel well lets give you some context now tensions between lebanon israel have heightened over the past few weeks has block used israel of carrying out drone attacks on its media office in the lebanese capital a week of all that happened hours after israel launched attacks in neighboring syria one killed 2 has lost soldiers there waiting back group has warned israel it will face repercussions for the attack the israeli Prime Minister benjamin not miss and yahoo says israel will continue to target winning back groups including hezbollah will come a was a is a political analyst at the center for american strategic studies and he joins us live from beirut come all good to see you help us on pick this situation that were seeing unfolding here from your perspective whats really going on. Well basically this is an operation for an operation i for one i can and here because in my estimate nobody has an interest to escalate the war near the israeli you know the lebanese i think everybody wanted to go back to the cessation of hostility that was an act that in 2617 or one we all have an interest to preserve peace and security in levanon and in the region i think israel actually violated that that rule when they struck a user drawn to attack an area residential area in the suburbs of beirut that was a violation of 1701 that and i think that the message that no violation by the israeli will be accepted and this is a retaliation just to set the clock where it was 2006 the end of the war and the beginning of whats supposed to be the cessation of hostility i think if if with the matches that we hearing from the lebanese from the Prime Minister and lebanon he has been very clear he doesnt want it was delayed and we heard to my as the met that theres a message from the israeli if we. They do but those messages we can have. A situation where it can be calm and. Things can go back where its supposed to be where we have the unit felt playing a very constructive role very very Important Role and preserving peace and stability and the south and i think we should go to the to to promote the stability of the south but if for other reason israel have a different intention israel we all know have a. Huge credibility then things can mushroom to into a major war like we had in 2006 but its going to be a much bigger war because obviously every one of the conflict in party you have a tremendous amount of experience different nations hezbollah has been training since the war stop in 2006 he carries very precise weapon they they have a lot of surprises and im sure the israeli they have also very capable busy military and theyve been getting the most advanced weapons from the United States including very major advance aircraft. So any war can be accurate as to fee for for for the 2 country so that now we have to see where the United States and where the International Community if theyre able to press basically we can go back to where we were before israel struck inside in the us inside lebanon come all you mention the International Community there and i know that the lebanese already been talking on the phone to the french what form do those conversations take what what are the lebanese asking for what are they hoping that the french or the International Community might be able to help them do in this kind of situation. Actually its not only the lebanese are been talking to their friends the french have been very important player on the situation in lebanon but they actually been speaking to the secretary of state. Of the United States mr brumby been on the phone was our Prime Minister from when the provocation took place just like ill miss a week ago and today. The news that even mr how did the Prime Minister he spoke with an american and american can carry it create way in the pressuring the israelis to. Abide by a 1701 we all have interest in. Going back to 1701 and to prove preserve the peace and the stability every one of us have children and on both side and we wanted our turning to go to school and want to have a prosperous life nobody has an interest at this time to go to a war because no one can know when that war except if somebody can think that he can take that war and bring him an election as probably mr netanyahu think maybe if this is serve his purpose in the coming weeks i dont know this is has to do with israeli internal a calculation but definitely. The war is not going to be a picnic for the israeli come alas neither joining us live 11 from they would come. Well we can see some pictures now where you can see Benjamin Netanyahu standing in the center there with his wife we await further is really reaction of course they go to the polls and 16 days times ohio much whats happening on the northern Israeli Border has to do with electioneering ever manes to be seen of course in this last hour weve seen escalation between the 2 sides but were hearing from our correspondents both in beirut said harry full sits on the border that things do seem to be calming israel hasnt confirmed any casualties the Lebanese Army says israeli forties have fired at least 4 sea shells were keeping our eye on the situation here aljazeera and we will keep you up to date as this story deve
