News you are in the Cnn Newsroom. Im Jessica Dean in New York and we begin with Breaking News in growing fears of what may be next in the middle east, just moments ago, has bloc announcing it launched long range missiles from lebanon toward jerusalem. After the confirmed death lets top leader Hassan Nasrallah and in israel in an israeli airstrike in Beirut Yesterday tonight, there are questions about what remains of Hezbollahs Leadership and what a potential response might look like. For Israels Part moments ago, prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said israel has arrived at a quote, historic turning point, saying that israel is killing was necessary for achieving its goals me, she up kid bono in iran or the middle east. The long arm of israel will not reach and today, you already know about true. This is a machine the wreck could that be all of this is the u. S. State department is ordering nonemergency employees and their Family Members to leave lebanon immediately we have Team Coverage for you. Are Nic Robertson has the latest from Tel Aviv, israel. Were going to begin though with Ben Wedeman men who is in the lebanese capital of beirut tonight. Ben, what is the latest on the ground from where you are since about half an hour past midnight. Is that there have been sporadic israeli airstrikes, mostly on the Southern Suburbs they were particularly sporadic in the early hours of the morning. Then threw out the afternoon more freak of less frequent, but but certainly what it represents is the continuation of this israeli strategy of really targeting the Southern Suburbs where hezbollah has a presence. In addition to, of course, Hundreds Of Thousands of civilians. Now at this point the israeli spokesman the arabic spokesman for the Military Put out a notice warning the residents of South Lebanon southern beirut, and the Beqaa Valley to leave anywhere where were they think his bella weapons and other material . Our being stored were talking about if you look at the population to prevail for population of those three areas, were talking about 2 Million people now. I spoke to a friend who actually went to the Southern Suburbs. He told me this the areas largely empty except for some young men. And we know that Hundreds Of Thousands of people have left southern lebanon. That bekaa valley. Also people have left, but theres still many people left behind. So this warning from the Israeli Military, two people in this area would indicate there are more strikes on the way, and there does seem to be a preference among the Israeli Military to strike at night. Now, in addition, listen to this one right now, im going to hear an israeli drone over the Southern Suburbs as far as this situation goes for civilians its many of them are who left this part of beirut have, are camped out in parks, on sidewalks. Some of them have found shelter in churches and mosques, and even a football stadium. According to the lebanese health ministry, since those pagers for tax tuesday before last, the Death Toll here in lebanon has reached 1030. Thats a preliminary Death Toll because it believed there are still many bodies under the ruins now 1,030, 10001030 dead is getting very close to the number of dead from the 2006 war between Israel And Hezbollah. It lasted 34 days now as tensions continued to boil, the united States Embassy North fourth of beirut has announced that some employees and their Family Members have been ordered to leave the country. The embassy also posted online of forum for us citizens in lebanon who are seeking assistance to leave the country, which would indicate hey that there is perhaps a plan to start an evacuation of those nationals in addition, of course, the embassy In Beijing North of beirut is now had extra security provided by the lebanese army. The worry is that given the web weapons hes been used against his butler provided by the United States, that there will and could be a backlash against us nationals, us interests, and the embassy itself. Jessica. All right. Ben, thank you so much. I want to go to nic in tel well leave. Nick tell us more about what youre seeing there. Intelligibly know that hezbollah has launched those Rockets At Jerusalem and i think a question on a lot of people both mind is what is the likelihood of a potential Ground Incursion into lebanon yeah, we kind of got a sense of the likelihood or a possibility of a Grounding Corrosion when the Defense Minister announced that it had a meeting with the Army Chief of staff general herzi halevi, some of the senior intelligence officials as well there they said they had an operational assessment and of the situation along the northern border, plus the possible increase of what the idf or what the troops could be doing along the border theres the lead was a lot of signaling over the past few days that video of troops newly arrived than you lee called Up Reservists arriving, getting their equipment, all of that the messaging is continuing creating that impression that theres a possibility for, maybe for a Ground Incursion or for offer some sort of additional deployment of the troops along the border. Now off blitzer just in the past couple of hours, asked peter lerner, idf spokesman, about that possibility of a Ground Incursion amount of different tools that we have in our toolbox. Ground operations is one of them. We are preparing for that if it is required, if we received the instructions. But of course, the primary goal with regard to the front with hezbollah is to restore safety and security. So lets sixth the thousand israelis that have been evacuated from the front precisely because of the aggression actions of hezbollah can go home safely and securely so the sort of big Picture Message from the idf at the moment is theyre ready for offensive and defensive actions and defensive that sort of implies dealing with the missiles that coming into the country. Now, theres been a big expectation that hezbollah would respond today that perhaps they would put their big missiles into the center of israel. Big cities like Tel Aviv today. Whats happened late this evening . That was an incoming missile into the West Bank towards jerusalem. Sirens went off in jerusalem. But this missile was intercepted and landed in Part And Midst Pay Highgate which is a settlement in the West Bank, West Bank, and vast majority arab Population Settlement the israeli population. So the question then becomes whats hezbollah targeting this tiny settlement inside the West Bank with all the risks, risk of hitting the arab population that surround that area. Its not clear precisely what the target was, but the medical rescue services, iran, the scenes so that they went to three different locations where there were some impact of shrapnel or missile. Not clear there were fires there, but they said they didnt report any casualties all right. Ben wedeman in beirut, Nic Robertson in Tel Aviv. Our thanks to both of you will continue to check in with you both as this continues joining us now is the former us ambassador to the United Nations and former trump national Security Adviser John Bolton ambassador, thanks so much for being here with us this afternoon. We appreciate it glad to be with you i just first want to get your reaction to the confirmation that Hassan Nasrallah hello, has been killed. And i also want to see what you think the current State Of Play is in this conflict between Israel And Hezbollah so, i think its a great victory for israel, for the west as a whole against the kind of terrorism that hezbollah has been engaged in for 40 years now i think theres a lot more to do, although a lot of the other top hezbollah leaders have also been eliminated. But i think when you combine this with what people are calling up variation, Grim Beeper from ten days or so ago these are important steps, but the real issue here is hezbollahs unbelievably large large Missile Arsenal and neither the northern border of israel and the land next to that will be saved are really the country well be safe until that Missile Capability is essentially eliminated. And i think the real question at this moment is that Israels Goal here. Are they going to back away . Wave from it under us pressure, right . And so that brings us to what does come next. And i know No One has a Crystal Ball here, but to your point there are some 60,000 israelis and the idf is saying theyre objective here is to allow them to go back home to their homes on the northern border there with lebanon, where they have not been able to live because of the incoming Rocket Attacks over the last year do you think a Ground Incursion will be necessary to achieve that goal i think almost certainly if thats what theyre really serious about, if you go back to the two thousand, six war with hezbollah, which by the way began actually with hamas coming out of the Gaza Strip and taking some hostages and then hezbollah doing the same and history interestingly repeats itself. But at that point, the israelis went in up to the litani river, basically, the entire southern part of lebanon and since the people who have been displaced as 60,000 israeli as you refer to. Were facing rocketing by really short range unguided rockets, system, systems. In order to protect that part of the country eliminating hezbollahs capabilities south a little tiny river is so is critical and i dont think the israelis can do that unless theyre in there on the ground and so we have seen over the last two weeks now, starting with the beepers and paid jurors exploiting that you referred to various strikes since then. Now the killing of nasrallah, weve seen all of this unfold and im curious what kind of impact you i think that has had, obviously on the Command And Control structure of hezbollah and their ability to respond. Now well, i think its been very damaging, but but no No One is irreplaceable. Even nasrallah although hes the leader of the a team of terrorism and it was entirely justifiable target i think youve got to remove Hezbollahs Capability if israel and the region as a whole are going to be safe. And the first step to do that is to destroy this extraordinarily large Missile Arsenal. I mean, the Cia Factbook says that it could be up to 150,000 and there are any number of public estimates its out there, some even larger than that of which may be 10,000 have been used since the Hamas Attack on october the seventh. This is extraordinary capability that hezbollah has and as i say, as long as its there, as long as there is somebody who can push the Buttons Israel remains unsafe and that doesnt even get to for the question of iran, which is the paymaster, the Armor Equipment Trainer financer for the who houthis hamas, hezbollah, the Shia Militia groups iraq and syria the real source of this conflict is in tehran, which leads me to my next question because i did want to ask you about what you think iran will do next. Will they get involved . Will what, what might their steps be its very difficult to predict, but i do think what were seeing since the israelis killed ismail haniyeh, a Hamas Leader in a supposedly secure Compound And Tehran is that the iranian leadership is very uncertain. One but to do their credibility is systematically being destroyed by these israeli successes. And to get that credibility back with their terrorist proxies, they need to take a strong stand against israel really impose as a heavy cost for what the israelis have done, but they are, i think petrified in tehran that this time the israelis will not succumb to the west White House pressure. They will not take the win, whatever that means this time, if iran itself gets involved israel will strike hard in iran as they would be entirely justified in doing. So. I think the iranians, they dont fear the United States these days. But i think they fear israel. And you obviously look around his tried to kill you they certainly i know youve had your own personal in relationship with that country and its government. But to your point, i hear what youre saying that you believe that israel may that now israel, it sounds like what youre saying is that israel has essentially made them fearful that if they do try to escalate that israel will just not listen to the u. S. And move forward doing what they think is baked needs to be done this is how you deal with terrorists. These people are barbarian save demonstrated that time and time again and you can talk sweetly to them and theyve got a Smiley Face new president , who talks about negotiation but, but what they really fear is the security, the regime itself and the nuclear weapons program, both of which i think should be at risk sir, John Bolton, thanks so much for your time today.

And this is cnn and back to our Breaking News now, in the middle east, hezbollah saying it launched long range missiles from lebanon toward jerusalem saturday, this all comes after the leader of the iranbacked group, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an israeli strike in Beirut Friday cnns Oren Liebermann is live now in washington and oren, israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called nasrallahs killing, quote, a necessary condition for achieving the goals they have set walk us back to get here where we are today. And help us understand how we got to this point in time. Of course, jessica, for months now the u. S. Through its envoy, almost hochstein has tried to get a Ceasefire Agreement in place between Israel And Hezbollah, but as long as hezbollah and Hassan Nasrallah tie to ceasefire in lebanon to a ceasefire in gaza that will become increasingly difficult than at least as we have seen over the course so the past ten months virtually impossible. And that meant from israels perspective, that rockets kept coming in up until just a couple of weeks ago, israel effectively tried to manage that problem. Those rockets were intercepted, drones were intercepted. There was a measure of retaliation. There was wha
