Theres been a big change and escalation, if that seems even possible right now in the israeli war to take out has block. Part of the planned attack was possibly taking out Hassan Nasrallah, the Mastermind And Head of has block. All of this comes at a time where Tel Aviv is on very high alert. Because if they did get this guy hes not just any other leader. Hes a very, very different type of leader from which ramifications for widening war have picked up considerably. Welcome everybody. Im Neil Cavuto and this is your world. Right now were looking at the extent of these attacks. No confirmation that Hassan Nasrallah himself has been among those killed. But we do know that theres sort of a call to bunker and safety not only in Tel Aviv but throughout israel and fears this war has just escalated beyond what anyone thought. An advisor to irans leader says with the possible assassination of this leader as in the case of other resistance leaders, others will simile take their place. We are learning as well that irans leaders are also talking about israel crossing a redline with this attack and the situation is becoming serious. As if there is any Understatement Or Overstatement needed there. Senior israeli officials are saying that if nasrallah has been killed it will be different than killing other has below leaders. It would be a Game Changer to put it mildly. Lets get the latest from Trey Yingst right now in Israel On this fastmoving story. What can you tell us . Afternoon. Fox news learned earlier today the target of those israeli strikes in the lebanese capital of beirut was indeed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah. It is still unclear if he was even there were killed in the strikes but this is a significant development the largest strike against the lebanese capital, and the Hespeler Neighbourhood a stronghold in lebanon since the war began in since has will got involved on October Eighth. Tonight weve been watching here from the city of haifa, israel,s thirdlargest city that sits about 17 miles from the border with lebanon. As hezbollah rockets are launched over the border and Israels Missile Defence system the Iron Dome picking up those rockets and intercepting them in multiple locations across the skyline. We are waiting to see what a possible response could look like to the strike. Israeli officials we are told our meeting currently. Israels version of the pentagon in Tel Aviv. As we do learn more about the situation thats unfolding in realtime. The United Kingdom is urging british nationals to immediately evacuate lebanon. Lebanese media is reporting local troops have been dispatched to the u. S. Embassy near beirut to ensure there are not demonstrations or protests outside. Its a very volatile situation and right now were still not sure who was killed in the strike but we seen some of the Aftermath Video in this residential area, and initial reports indicate hundreds of people have been killed in the strike. We cannot independently confirm those numbers but again this is a civilian area where according to reports there was a Hespeler Bunker where Hezbollah Leadership was reported the hiding when he strikes took place. We are also learning and this is going from the pentagon that it had no warning of this were involvement in this israeli attack that might have taken out this has been a leader and others. And that does follow a pattern where we are not given a Heads Up. In fact deliver a so. Absolutely. Theres a timing that israeli officials using so they can operate even if the biden administration is not happy with the offensive action they are taking. And when you think about the tiktok of today, this morning israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking before the u. N. General assembly 24 months later israeli Air Strikes were hammering has Blood Positions in Southern Lebanon and shortly after that the strikes were reported in Albanys Capital of beirut. Theres a lot of Moving Parts here. We know according to our reporting that on a daily basis u. S. Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin is speaking with his counterpart here in israel. They are getting basically on the same page about whats taking place. Theres american assets in the region and also u. S. Marines staged just in case american citizens have to be evacuated from lebanon, if this War Unravels further. Were also getting information just as we are speaking now. According to the Israeli Military this is coming right now, 65 rockets were fired towards northern israel as part of this last barrage. One of those rockets slammed into the city of savard that sits near the Sea Of Galilee on the eastern side of israel. We saw images from the house that was hit by one of these has below rockets completely destroyed and on fire. Rescue crews currently at the scene. What we know as the situation is rapidly unraveling. Israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly decided he would return from the u. N. General assembly a day early. Is currently headed back to israel and the region waits to see what comes next. Neil Antony Blinken the Secretary Of State said we have made clear the way forward is the policy not conflict. Seems a little late. I wonder if you could help me out. You mentioned about those and western individuals in the region have been told to seek cover. We are learning as well the british nationals are being urged to just leave lebanon outright. It would surprise me a good many of them are still there. All of this the elevator by the potential assassination of Hassan Nasrallah. No indication that has happened but if it had, why is this the Game Changer . Its been colleges that. This is a Game Changer for many reasons but namely given the position that Hassan Nasrallah had as a Check Secretary General of hezbollah. Hes a man in charge of this organization since 1992. He joined in The 80s following the first Lebanon War and switched from the mall party. Paramilitary group in lebanon to fight on behalf of has blood. Hes developed and participated in many of the broader attacks against american forces, against the israelis, since the late 90s. And as we have seen in the past year thousands of rockets raining down on israeli cities. Notches here in the north but the central part of this country and some cases. American officials as we speak are calling for diplomatic efforts to prevail. I see the comments coming in right now from your Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken and hes issuing a warning to other iranian proxies across the region saying to anyone using this moment to target american personnel or interests, the united states will take of measure to defend its people. This is something of note because the americans are concerned the iranians could respond to the strikes and beirut that reportedly took out top leadership from has blood. And retargeting the leader of the organization. They are worried iran could respond to the proxies as they did last night. Sirens were sounding across israels secondlargest city of Tel Aviv. Preparation of 300,000 heading to bomb shelters as a Ballistic Missile was fired from yemen by irans other proxy the who these theres a lot of Moving Parts. Israel has been faced with seven front war since he October Seventh Massacred. The iranians still have not responded to the killing of another Proxy Leader the leader of hamas who is In Tehran for the inauguration of the new president of our own. So from the iranian perspective they have a lot of open tabs in the Middle East. Theyve been warning of attacks against israel for the past several months. Israeli officials have Air Defence systems on highlight across this country and are staging troops along the border with lebanon. Understanding the cabin at any moment could order a Ground Invasion into Southern Lebanon. Neil we are told that what might have precipitated this israeli attack on these has Blood Positions was the Tel Aviv attack and you pointed out that was unusual in and of itself. Not the least of which because thats where Israels Version of the pentagon is. Israels version of the pentagon is in the heart of Tel Aviv. And traditionally it has been a source of threats for these proxy groups. They say things like an Eye For An eye. Hassan nasrallah you might remember when he was making one of his lengthy speeches from an underground bunker in lebanon said if the Israelis Target Beirut we will target Tel Aviv. Eye for an eye. Thats been the equation not just for past year but even years prior as it relates to iranian proxies in places like gaza with hamas and islamic jihad. The thing to note is over the weekend the israelis conducted what can be described as preemptive strikes but this is clear offensive action against hezbollah. Notches Southern Lebanon but also deeper into lebanese territory. And another has Blood Stronghold. Theyre taking out the Rocket And Missile launching positions that the Israeli Military says often were hidden in civilian areas. This is significant because according to defence officials brief Fox News as recently as last year, the belief among israeli and american officials as hezbollah before October Eighth had around 150,000 rockets and missiles. Many of them pushes during guided. They had components smuggled in by the iranians through syria into Southern Lebanon and attached to the missiles and they can target cities like Tel Aviv. They can target Population Centres like the city where we are standing right now but this is an active situation. When we hear calls for diplomacy from your secretary of State Anthony Lincoln or Lloyd Austin have to remember what the situation the ground looks like. We woke up this morning to siren sounding process major Population Centre as the Iron Dome was intercepting rockets overhead. Less than 24 hours ago sirens were sounding Tel Aviv. This is a country bracing for a broader regional war in the coming hours and days will be critical to understand what exactly is going to happen. Neil even before he formally departed United Nations to get back home to address this Benjamin Netanyahu had vowed to continue the war and defying all of our ceasefire plans we are shoving that he would have nothing to do with it and not have it and now the question becomes how big does this get . Fee israelis had known with pager and related attacks that they orchestrated, that already up the ante and got even a wrap of United Nations. They know this will again if they have taken this guy out, this only trigger yet another response. Already widening way beyond hezbollah to who the rebels and the like that have already made navigating the seas in and around the area next to impossible. So this puts everyone in tenterhooks. Yeah, theres a huge disconnect right now on the ground between international efforts to reach a ceasefire and the Military Activity as Reary Israelis and the actions being taken by hezbollah not just from Southern Lebanon but deeper into the country. Remember israel over the past week has taken out the majority of the leadership from hezbollahs forces. These are the elite fighters at the organization has that according to israeli officials were training to conduct a massacre similar to the October Seventh Massacre where they would cross the border from Southern Lebanon into northern Israel And Target communities some of which of already been evacuated. But as we look at these Double Medicare efforts lets look back 48 hours ago. He had the as americans and the french coming up with statements saying that a ceasefire was coming into effect in a matter of hours. 21 Day Pause in the fighting, in agreement that had been brokered with the help of the qataris who acted as a Middleman Throat not just this conflict but also the ongoing war between israel and hamas inside gaza. And as the israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was on his plan heading to the united states he not only said that there would be no ceasefire. He said he had instructed the idf to ramp up their offensive activity against hezbollah and moments after that statement israeli Fighter Jets were in the skies over lebanon striking more rocket launching positions. So as we look forward to what comes next Cactus Strike Today in the lebanese capital of beirut targeting the neighbourhood of a has Blood Stronghold has largely been offlimits simply for Air Strikes. According to our reporting and we learned earlier today the target of those strikes was the leader of hezbollah Hassan NasrallahThe Man whos been in charge of this Iran Backed Military Organization since 1992. So even if hes not confirmed dead the escalation on the table here today is significant and it pairs with what we are learning out of tehran right now and that is that irans Supreme Leader the ayatollah and this reporting is a treatable to the new york times, he has called a meeting of his top leadership there to a compound his home to discuss the developments in the Middle East, understanding the strikes towards the lebanese Capital Beirut that were at least targeting the leader of his largest proxy in the region has below are a huge Step Up on the escalation matter. The coming hours and days will be significant. Air defence systems across this country remain on high alert. Notches the Iron Dome but close to your system but also David Sling the second system that was used in recent days in the arrow Missile Defence System thats capable of shooting down Ballistic Missiles. All of them on high Alert Today as israeli officials are meeting at Israels Version of the pentagon in the heart of Tel Aviv trying to determine what your defence will look like if iran or its other proxies across the region decide to respond to this massive strike in the lebanese capital of beirut. And as you said brilliantly, this is not just going after any
