Of working people. And a Succession Style Battle to decide the air of the Murdoch Empire plays out in court today. President biden has warned the Un General Assembly of the need to prevent a full Scale War in lebanon, as clashes escalate between israel and the militant group hezbollah. In the last few hours the israeli military says it has killed a senior Hezbollah Commander in a strike on beirut. These pictures show the extent of the destruction and the wreckage from the aftermath of that strike. Its led to a Mass Exodus of civilians from their homes, causing gridlock on the roads. Meanwhile hezbollah has fired dozens of rockets towards northern israel. Joining me now is our correspondent in Beirut Anna Foster and our diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams whos in jerusalem. Anna, to you first of All. The second day of this relentless bombardment, give me an idea of what it is like there. What it is like there. Well, at the moment what it is like there. Well, at the moment it what it is like there. Well, at the moment it feels what it is like there. Well, at the moment it feels for what it is like there. Well, at l the moment it feels for people here like something which is incredibly different to what theyve already been to in the last 11 months or so, because this has been so far in escalation thats happened reAlly close to The Border where Lebanon And Israel have exchanged regularfire, but exchanged regular fire, but what exchanged regularfire, but what we are seeing now in these last couple of days is something entirely different, you saw those pictures there of people living in the south of the country, gridlock on the highway, the main highways as they had appeared to be rude. I want to show you actuAlly, you can see the Tail End of the sunset and what youre looking out at is the highway down to the south of lebanon. You can actuAlly see the airport where those orange lights are and these are the southern suburbs were earlier today Israels Defence forces carried egg out what they cAlled a targeted strike. In those suburbs, thats where hezbollah� s top commanders are based. In the strike earlier today which the lebanese Health Ministry says killed six people and wounded 15, israel say that they killed the man responsible for hezbollah rocket programme. You see around the areas like the vAlley and around to the south of lebanon, attacks on hezbollah, ammunition and where they are actuAlly holding their weapons and here in beirut you see attacks on people, personnel, on those figures at the top of hezbollah. As you say theyre the israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that that will continue and to hear you say the discussion going on at the Un General Assembly about De Escalation diplomatic solutions, that feels very far away from people here tonight. Im sure thats absolutely true. Give me an idea and a flavour, because Weve Seen Pictures of those convoys on the roads, people spending hours, ten, 12, 14 hours in their cars trying to get away from some of what is coming from some of what is coming from the skies. Tell me about some of those conversations that people have been having about where theyre actuAlly going. About where theyre actuAlly oiiin. , � ,. , about where theyre actuAlly oiiin,. , � ,. , about where theyre actuAlly going. Thats a big problem, eole going. Thats a big problem, peeple are going. Thats a big problem, people are leaving going. Thats a big problem, people are leaving their going. Thats a big problem, i people are leaving their homes and they are leaving their communities and in many cases they dont have anywhere to go. And thats why we seem particularly humanitarian agencies here in lebanon, theyve been talking about how theyve been talking about how they are having to spring into action to put Reception Centres, basic Reception Centres, basic Reception Centres in place. So things like schools, which are closed at the moment, they are trying to move people into schools, trying to give them the basics, food, medical care, places to sleep. The problem is, there are so many people as you reflected there, so many people were leaving the south of the country at the moment. But there is just not reAlly the infrastructure in place. Remember that lebanon has seen crisis after crisis in the last few years, and they are already a very Damage Country with a very damaged infrastructure, and seeing this Mass Movement of people from south to further nothing to do is something very are not geared up to deal with. At the moment, as you say, the messaging from israel reAlly strong that the bombardments of the south of lebanon will continue and thats why you see people taking their families, take their possessions, putting what they can in their cars and just getting as far away as they possibly can from what is happening there on the southern border. Let happening there on the southern border. ,. , border. Let me tell you in the last few minutes, border. Let me tell you in the last few minutes, The Border. Let me tell you in the last few minutes, the afp border. Let me tell you in the l last few minutes, the Afp News Agency is quoting the un Refugee Agent saying, they are outraged after a staff member, a contractor was killed in lebanon. Since yesterday, 50 children, 100 women, other Health Workers have been killed. So give me an idea of the pressure that the hospitals are under. The pressure that the hospitals are under the pressure that the hospitals are under. , , ~. , are under. Huge pressure. A lot of peeple are under. Huge pressure. A lot of peeple here are under. Huge pressure. A lot of people here have are under. Huge pressure. A lot of people here have seen are under. Huge pressure. A lot of people here have seen that l of people here have seen that kind of pressure before, they sought a week ago when We Saw those coordinated detonations of pagers and Walkie Talkies and people said it reminded them of course of the explosion at Beirut Port if years ago. Again, this is a health structure, Health System which struggles at the best of times. They are not geared up in terms of people to actuAlly treat the wounded, in terms of medical supplies and care that they need, and you mentioned that humanitarian agencies, bear in mind that lebanese population at the moment is to a large extent as well, made up of palestinian refugees. There are syrian refugees here as well, that for the war. You already have people living in very difficult situations who are againfinding difficult situations who are again finding themselves trying to move, trying to find somewhere to go. And it is hard, reAlly, to overstate the difficulties that are going on here in lebanon and just for the very basic things. Again, if you look out across here, things like electricity, everybody knows lebanon has a long Standing Electricity Crisis and there are buildings you are seeing in complete darkness because they cant afford generate service at night. Things like moving food around, they are told very clearly told by the government there will be enough room for everybody, but its the beginnings of the Fear Crisis after crisis, people here have not seen this on this scale since the war in 2006, and they reAlly matthew, there is a huge amount of nervousness, especiAlly with how many people killed in less than 48 hours, thats where this is heading. So much Nervousness And Fear about another Ground Invasion after what we seen over the last few days and people worried that is the prelude to what is going to come. Anna, thank you, and well head to jerusalem with Paul Adams. While All of that has been going on, hezbollah have been firing 100, 150 rockets into israel. Tell me what youve been able to see in some of the conversations youve been having where you are. Weve ust having where you are. Weve just come having where you are. Weve just come down having where you are. Weve just come down from having where you are. Weve just come down from the having where you are. Weve i just come down from the north, ust just come down from the north, just in just come down from the north, just in the just come down from the north, just in the last few minutes, matthew. We were in the Haifa Area matthew. We were in the Haifa Area for matthew. We were in the Haifa Area for much of the day. We spent area for much of the day. We spent the area for much of the day. We spent the night in a Kibbutz Tast spent the night in a kibbutz last night, and everywhere across last night, and everywhere across the north its the same picture across the north its the same picture. Regular sirens, regular picture. Regular sirens, regular alerts. You look up in the sky, regular alerts. You look up in the sky, you see the streaks of israels the sky, you see the streaks of Israels Iron Dome interceptor missiles Israels Iron Dome interceptor missiles racing up into the sky and intercepting incoming hezbollah rockets, that happened in the Haifa Area released a couple of times where released a couple of times where we were there, we were in a shopping where we were there, we were in a All'>Shopping MAll at some point in the a All'>Shopping MAll at some point in the windows rattled, people ran for in the windows rattled, people ran for the shelter, some peppie ran for the shelter, some people just continued their lunch people just continued their lunch and ignoring the Security Stuff~ lunch and ignoring the Security Stuff its lunch and ignoring the Security Stuff. Its already becoming something of a routine. Of course something of a routine. Of course for those people who lived course for those people who lived right on The Border, they first lived right on The Border, they first had lived right on The Border, they first had an experience of this almost first had an experience of this almost a first had an experience of this almost a year ago and 60,000 of them almost a year ago and 60,000 of them were almost a year ago and 60,000 of them were eventuAlly evacuated, and they them were eventuAlly evacuated, and they are now living in, well, and they are now living in, well, All and they are now living in, well, All over the country but a lot well, All over the country but a lot of well, All over the country but a lot of them are living 20 miles a lot of them are living 20 miles south of The Border, in areas miles south of The Border, in areas they thought until a few days areas they thought until a few days ago areas they thought until a few days ago were relatively safe. And so days ago were relatively safe. And so the kibbutz where we were and so the kibbutz where we were staying was full of people who had were staying was full of people who had come from other places further who had come from other places further north and in the last couple further north and in the last couple of further north and in the last couple of days they frankly Feet Couple of days they frankly feet as couple of days they frankly feel as if the war has caught up feel as if the war has caught up with feel as if the war has caught up with them. Because once again. Up with them. Because once again, they are Hearing Sirens and they again, they are Hearing Sirens and they are Hearing Explosions and they are Hearing Explosions and they and they are Hearing Explosions and they are Hearing Explosions and they are deeply worried by that and they are deeply worried by that i and they are deeply worried by that. I think we have to say, nothing that. I think we have to say, nothing on that. I think we have to say, nothing on this side of the Border Nothing on this side of The Border remotely compares to Life North of The Border. Israei Life North of The Border. Israei is Life North of The Border. Israel is a functioning modern sophisticated well organised country, people are not capped out in country, people are not capped out in the country, people are not capped out in the streets, not fleeing heavy out in the streets, not fleeing Heavy Bombardment and they are not dying, Heavy Bombardment and they are not dying, nobody has died on the side not dying, nobody has died on the side of The Border in the last the side of The Border in the last 48 the side of The Border in the last 48 hours to the best of my knowledge. Yes, rockets have fAllen knowledge. Yes, rockets have fAllen on knowledge. Yes, rockets have fAllen on homes, people had been fAllen on homes, people had been wounded, some people are going been wounded, some people are going to been wounded, some people are going to hospital, but it is simply going to hospital, but it is simply nothing to compare. At the interests of that 60,000 Peopie The Interests of that 60,000 people are very much uppermost in the people are very much uppermost in the minds of the israeli government which says the Return Government which says the return of government which says the return of those people to the northern return of those people to the Northern Border Communities is one of Northern Border Communities is one of its Northern Border Communities is one of its top priorities. Peopie one of its top priorities. People weve spoken to say they doubt people weve spoken to say they doubt thats going to happen anytime soon. I� ll doubt thats going to happen anytime soon. Doubt thats going to happen anytime soon. Ill come back to some of the anytime soon. Ill come back to some of the things anytime soon. Ill come back to some of the things that some of the things that Benjamin Netanyahu has been saying in the last little while. But paul, you are a veteran of reporting in the region for 20 years, plus i saw you writing on the Bbc Website that you were struck by the fact that so far hezbollah has not used their stockpiles of the longer range heavier rockets. In terms of the explanation for that, what do you think that is . Its explanation fo
