Anticipation is there will be a new wave of israeli strikes on the Southern Suburbs. This after the arabic spokesman for the israeli military put out a tweet warning, the residents of Southern Lebanon how valley in the Southern Suburbs of beirut to stay away from any hezbollah facilities. And given that hezbollah is a very secretive organization, most people dont actually know if there might be any hezbollah facilities in their immediate area. So the assumption is that if you are in one of those areas, you should simply leave and what weve seen is that tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people have left those the areas specified by the israelis before the war, the population of those three areas in that tweet was around 2 Million in people according to lebanese officials in just the last few days almost half 1 Million people have fled and that was a number before We Saw this Mass Exodus from the Southern Suburbs of beirut. Now, were getting a new Death Toll from the left lebanese Ministry Of Health who say that for today saturday, at least 33 people were killed. In addition to 195 injured these are all preliminary figures. For instance, that strike that. Took place at about 6 00 p. M. Yesterday. That resulted in the killing of Hassan Nasrallah its believed that there may be well over 100 bodies still under the rubble of those six buildings that were brought down by multiple 2000 Pound Bombs and cluster buster bomb, a bumper bombs, Bunker Buster bombs, excuse me, its been a very long few days. A Bunker Buster bombs on that location. Now as the tension rises, what and were seeing is that the United States is increasingly concerned about the situation in the country and has ordered some employees at the u. S. Embassy which is north of beirut, not In Beirut. And their families to leave. Theyve also put out on the internet of form for us citizens in lebanon ive been on who would seek assistance in leaving the country. This may be a preliminary step for the eventual evacuation of these people. Now in addition to this, has hezbollah has put out notices informing its followers of numbers they can call it, would facilitate their departure to serious syria been considered at the new moment, a safer place than many parts of lebanon jessica, all right. Ben wedeman there In Beirut. I want to go to Tel Aviv now where Nic Robertson is nick, what is the latest youre hearing seeing there in Tel Aviv . Here is ben as harrowing the drones. There In Beirut. I was just hearing a couple of jets in the skies above us here. Just obviously beirut up the coastline from here iran its often in the evenings when there has been heavy Bombing Activity In Beirut, then we will hear Fighter Jets either coming or going. We dont know which in the skies, but were hearing them again. This evening. So that may be an indication that that operations continue to be underway, which is what the idf is. Saying. The Defense Minister Today has said that hes been evaluating the situation along the border, considering expanding the activities of the troops along the border, hinting potentially there about the possibility of a Ground Incursion across the border by forces . No announcement of that, and its something that the Defense Minister himself and others, other senior commanders have been signaling, but we dont see an actual decision being taken about that. The country itself bracing for what could be hezbollah retaliatory strikes potentially here into the center of israel, potentially into built up areas like Tel Aviv there it was a missile that came in and set the sirens off in jerusalem that landed a little bit outside before we go To Jerusalem inside the West Bank in a Settlement Coleman Village them, its pay hygienes is where it actually landed a medical services there say that they went to three sites where shrapnel or parts of the missile and come down. We saw pictures, images of fire on social Media Rescue vehicles. But they say that they found no casualties there. But of course, one of the other things that people in israel are bracing for is a potential that iran well step into Support Hezbollah potentially in some way, potentially choose over the coming days to have its own strikes on israel and the Idf Spokesman Peter Lerner had something to say about that just in the past couple of hours i would suggest that iran look very closely how weve dealt with hamas, the leadership of hamas, and how in the last weekandahalf, weve effectively decapitated hezbollah from its senior leadership all the way down to the operational and tactical staff there is a lot to lose here. I dont think anybody is interested in a further escalation, a broader war, but israel needs to be prepared for that that israel has a long reach. Those harm israel, they will harm back and clearly that extends to around jessica. All right. Weve got Nic Robertson there and Tel Avivs Ben Wedeman In Beirut. Our thanks to both of you for that reporting from the ground there joining us now is israels ambassador to the united nations, Danny Danon ambassador. Thanks so much for being here with us. We appreciate it thank you for having me, jessica, hezbollah says it has begun to launch missiles into Israel Tonight i think a lot of people are wondering, is a Ground Incursion into lebanon from israel inevitable . No, i didnt want to be the End Result of that escalation at The End, we will push Hezbollah North of the Litani River and the residents of the north of we come back to the home. The israelis thats going to be the End Result. How we get to that its too early to tell. I hope that what we did so far will be enough that the lebanese government would see the opportunity that were going to put unity now jessica, after what happened to florida and his colleagues In Beirut, now with the time for lebanon to decide where are we heading from him, whether the allow lebanon to hijack lebanon. All them are actually stopped. His balance aggression, and take control of the situation. We do not want a full war with lebanon we have no desire for that. But at the same time, the government decided that well do what every necessary to bring back those people who left their homes are talking about 70,000 with Valleys Today live as refugees within their own country and i want to ask you about Israels Relationship with the u. S. Currently in this moment, us officials saying that the us was notified just moments ahead of that strike In Beirut that killed nasrallah. How would you characterize the relationship between the israeli and us governments right now . Wherever very strong bond, we share the same challenges and everything enemies. Look at himself and Bray Mcu that we killed it recently they kill hundreds of americans. We talking about hundreds of marines, soldiers that attacked us embassies All Around The World we are fighting the same fight at the same time we are not asking for permission. We are sovereign country we take our decisions by ourselves. And i think in general, i will always understand that we will target the leadership of the terrorist organization and we will find them. They cannot hide anywhere All Around The World. We are able to find them and to give them. And i think what we are doing now it actually we are making the world a better place, a safer for the u. S. And for many other democracies and i do think that there has been frustration on the part of the biden administration that the israeli Government Hasnt always listened to what they have wanted and pushed for, which obviously israel is its own nation but how there is also this Working Theory that look in this specific case that israel didnt tell the u. S. Until the last minute because they want to do what they want to do and didnt want pushback from the United States. Do you think thats accurate . What i wouldnt go into specific about this incident. But in general, i dont think the u. S. Actually, they want us to come and ask for permission for every attack i think it will put them in a very complicated situation. They dont have the same Interest Or Threat that were facing and i think in general it both for its better for both sides. But we will not do that. You in general. Michelle, our intentions, but we dont account and get approval for specific attacks. In general, i can tell you, we will continue to hand down the leadership of the terrorist. They were the October 7, Gaza And Asylum self, it decided to make the linkage and to tell the world that it will target israel to show solidarity with hamas. So the only way to stop it was to kill him. I think whether via decision i also want to ask about any potential Ceasefire Deal both with hezbollah or with hamas. Obviously, the Biden Ministration and the White House has been pushing for diplomatic solutions. Here specifically with hezbollah proposing this 21 Day Pause in the fighting. But today, prime Minister Netanyahu said, israel is going to continue as youre youre saying, to go after israels adversaries, what are the chances of diplomatic efforts working right now . Do you think so it was, it felt that i think we would welcome a diplomatic solution. And i think what we are doing now, adding pressure against hezbollah, maybe it will open the diplomatic channels again because We Saw that in the last few months and then nothing happened, hamas was not willing to accept the offer that the u. S. Put on the table back in may and ending august. And then hezbollah said, we will continue to target these. Well, because we support hamas. I think now where we are actually showing our capabilities against hezbollah maybe there would be an opening to catch that linkage between hezbollah and hamas. And hopefully it can lead to some kind of a agreement with hamas and with lebanon. And i think again, you know, i prayed for the lebanese people. I care about the lebanese people, but they have to show some courage. Now is the time you dont want now is the time for them to do that. Many bachelor respectfully, you all have been pushing Military Force both against hamas In Gaza and now against hezbollah in lebanon. But over the course of a year and theres still not been any sort of ceasefire. It is not push them to in Negotiating Table what i meant to deter about we will pushing we were dragged into this situation we have 100 hostages In Gaza. We cannot forget about them. So we have to take actions to bring them back home. Same with his banner they decided to attack israel in the sense, thousands of rockets since october 8, with no provocation. So we have to take efforts and measure to bring these various back to their homes so we will drag to the situation and yes, when somebody is targeting we will hit them back and we waited almost a year. We waited for diplomacy i think the pleasure that we are applying an awfully will change the situation. And i do want to ask you about those hostages that remain held against their will In Gaza. We are almost a year to October 7 that they have been in captivity. So many of their Family Members and israelis have pushed your government to accept a deal to get them home and many israelis and some Family Members feel as if those hostages have been forgotten. What do you say to them . We cannot forget them and we will never forget them. We are doing as you effort, but we are dealing with vertical and wed seen while, you know, sometimes we dont know whether hes alive or not and what is the intelligence out. And i think that we proved that in the past we were willing to pay heavy prices to released terrorists in order to bring back the hostages. And were willing to continue to do that. But today, there is no progress negotiator. The pudding, the u. S tried really hard to come up with some kind of agreement with hamas but they always refused maybe now, when they see whats happening today In Beirut to their Friends Balla maybe they would change their minds and so with that. In mind, how do you see, lets say the next 72 hours playing out i think we are committed to continue to degrade the capabilities of his banner. We know what the intentions they want to target civilians. They want to kill as many israeli. We are making sure but donald able to do that. And i hope that once they will realize that theyre not going anywhere, that they will cut the linkage they deal with hamas. And hopefully it will allow Israel And Lebanon to go back to where we were in 2006 when we add a ceasefire. And we agreed about the Un But Solution 171, that actually we are willing to go back to December Solution and call it today all right. Israeli ambassador to the un, Danny Danon.
