All right. Israel, to put it mildly, in a state of high alert right now. Youre looking at the live shot of the roof. There have been targets, better than 100 over the last roughly 24 years, that left nasrallah dead and he and a number of accomplices were taken out in this attack, that makes nine top hezbollah leaders taken out in various Air Strikes over the last couple of weeks right now, but, again, this latest strike are, were learning that its targeting the likes of Tel Aviv and elsewhere and igniting the sirens that have been going off. Apparently, theyre coming from yemen and would seem to indicate Houthi Rebels that are certainly using that as the base of operations on american and Shipping Interests from all over the world. Nate foy is in Tel Aviv with the latest on this. What can you tell us . Hey, neil. Moments ago, we heard an explosion here after sirens were blaring for a few minutes in Tel Aviv and the idf has come out saying its a missile launched from yemen. As you accurately pointed out, it was fired by the Houthi Rebels, makes it two times in three days that the Houthi Rebels have fired a missile, two days ago it was or yesterday morning, actually, so two days in a row, it was a ballistic missile that the houthis launched here and well see exactly what kind of missile they launched today. What youre seeing right now on your screen is what killed Hassan Nasrallah. And weve been bracing for the response from hezbollah and iranianbacked proxies. This is one thing, Benjamin Netanyahu is back after cutting his visit north short after speaking to the u. N. And the strike that killed nasrallah yesterday, it happened in the neighborhood and several leaders were killed in the blast and reportedly an irgc commander. Nasrallah in the 1980s, took over the organization in 1992 and oversaw the integration into the lebanon system,and here is the Idf Spokesman talking about the strike that kill. Nasrallah chose to join the war that hezbollah started and there are consequences for that decision. Its not just a threat to the state of lebanon, its backed by the regime in iran. And there were several other large explosions Last Night. Take a look at this next video, neil. They took out several Weapons Facilities in beirut Last Night and put out several messages in arabic telling people to evacuate beforehand. They couldnt do that with the Nasrallah Strike because they didnt want to tip him off, he would leave and they wanted to target him. And take a look at the next video as the Air Strikes continue as the aerial campaign and the pressure that israel is putting on its neighbor to the north continues. Israel says its hit 140 hezbollah targets so far today. Back out here live, Hezbollahs Response immediately began Last Night, launching rockets across israels northern border into haifa. This morning, iran, hezbollah, put out statements that they are going to continue fighting israel, that Nasrallahs Death is going to em bolden them and strengthen them, and the second in Tel Aviv in two days. Back to you. Neil so many proxies, so little time. Nate foy, thank you so much. Lieutenant general with us, the first Deputy Chief of staff for intelligence and reconnaissance. He knows of what he speaks. Its interesting, general, there is the Cockroach Theory on these perpetrators, one goes and another takes its place, and thats what israel has to look forward to and theyre going after the cockroaches. Where does it stand in your eyes . I think that taking out nasrallah is the forces to decapitate his leadership into Chaos And Theyll keep doing that. Part of the message and what you see unfolding is the complete Penetration And Understanding of the hezbollah organizatiOn And, yeah, if they need to continue to take out cockroaches, theyll continue to do so, but i think the capabilities that have been demonstrated plays directly into Israels Strategy to create the conditions to get the nearly 70,000 israelis in Northern Israel to return to their homes. Neil you know, you mention the israelis, general, and already word has gone out for the entire country, i dont believe just limited to Tel Aviv or central israel, to stop large gatherings of more than A Thousand people. So, that would effectively close theaters and that would be closing other large Concert Gatherings and the like. So, israels prepared for anything and everything, isnt it . Well, its a prudent measure. In conjunction with their Missile Defense System, and in anticipation of how iran, hezbollah and irans other puppets, if you will, may respond. So once again, its appropriate. Now, with respect to concerns about possible escalation, neil, i wanted to offer that, you know, one of the things that people arent talking about is the iranian leadership is on notice what might happen to them so i think that this event over the last, well, yesterday, with taking out the Hezbollah Leadership, as well as Irc Leadership May in fact have a Deterrent Effect on iranian direct access against israel because they understand the consequence because of that. And israel just demonstrated how strong they are and iran is going to pay attention to that. Neil its interesting, general, you mention how israel is handling this apparently on its own and not for the White House, and we know that Secretary Austin stressed the u. S. Is determined to prevent iran and iranianbacked partners and proxies from exploiting the situatiOn And expanding the conflict and emphasized that we were not part of the planning or didnt say it in so many words, had a headsup on these attacks on israels part. What did you make of that . Well, i think, quite frankly, its basic military operational prudence. Clearly any kind of a leak could eliminate or prevent what the israeli defense forces were able to do yesterday so its simply a matter of achieving surprise and protecting all your moves in advance and i wouldnt chalk it up to anything other than that. Neil general, real quickly since i have you, no comments, Scouring The Press not only for yesterdays show and this weekends show. No response from the moderate Arab World and might have warned about israel expanding the war and may have more to do ignoring calls for a ceasefire. We forget that some of the countries, such as Saudi Arabia had issues with iran and might welcome this. I think you put your finger on it, neil. Exactly right. Iran is absolutely a critical adversary of the gcc states and they are more than happy to see israel accomplish the objectives that it has and to deter iran and put it into its place. Now, neil, one more thing before i know youve got to go, but let me also offer that recent idf successes demonstrate the importance of having both a strong Air Force, as well as an effective Missile Defense System and options for nations security. Unfortunately, the united states Air Force has been allowed to At Atrophy that we have the smallest in history and unable to meet our own strategies. Reversing this situation has got to be a priority of the next administration regardlets of who gets elected. Neil general, wise words all. You get tired of hearing this, not only thank you for joining us, but thank you for your incredible service to this country. Youre very modest about this. If it were me id be crowing about it all the time. Thank you again, very good seeing you. Have a great day. Neil you, too, general. Just a let you know, the Wild Card in all of this could be maybe the first Evidence Today of the role of Houthi Rebels and the strike thats apparently coming from yemen to target israeli positions. Now, theres been a White Houseled effort for quite some time to protect Shipping Interest in the region from these Houthi Rebel attacks that have taken on a number of ships.

I believe theyre up to north of 150 of them. This is Tel Aviv right now where a lot of folks are being told to take shelter on word that there are missiles coming from yemen. That would be a houthi stronghold. In case youre marvelling at the various proxies that have no fine interest in israel surviving any of this. The fact of the matter is, we have built up a very big presence in that neighborhood, the u. S. Has kept an increased presence in the Middle East and increased that to 40,000 forces and at least a Dozen War ships. Weve got four Air ForceFighten Jet squadrons spread across the region, both to serve allies and deter there. And the latest hezbollah attacks put them on even higher alert, i should stress particularly when it comes to this armada that weve built in that neck of the woods, its done very with little to stave off Houthi Rebel attacks on u. S. And other Shipping Interests from Around The World. Its virtually impossible to do commerce in that neck of the world at least on the high seas. Weve got Lucas Tomlinson at the White House and theyre monitoring closely. What can you tell us . Thats right, neil, those attacks by irans proxy forces in yemen carried out another attack, this time on war ships. We can go around the horn in the Middle East. The Lincoln Strike Group is now on statiOn And those two guided missile destories, u. S. S. Stockdale and u. S. S. Spruance, and theyre at the strait and came under missile and drone attack, neil. Nearly two dozen were launched at the american war ships. Thankfully, all the missiles were shot down and the prowess that the u. S. Military has when this comes to Missile Defense. Last night i was speaking over text to a retired u. S. Navy admiral who used to run that organizatiOn And the Missile Defense, admiral who told me this outcome is now expected. U. S. Warship shooting down incoming missiles, but critics for years said Missile Defense will never work, calling it a fools errand. It would be a much different Conversation Tonight had we not maintained our commitment to this mission. Neil, so far, whats incredible, the pentagOn And the White House have not commented on this attack on the American Warships. Just yesterday all attention On Beirut and the Decaptation Strike as we heard from The General Deptula by the israeli intelligence dropping 83 oneton bombs on hezbollah headquarters killing most of Hezbollah Leadership that remained, as well as some iranian commanders were now hearing reportedly. Notable so far the White House and the pentagon have not issued any public statements about this attack on American Warships. Of course, this has been happening now almost routinely since october, since the October 7th attack, but neil, to put this in perspective, if a year ago we learned that American Warships had come under a missile attack, that would have been huge news and as we heard earlier from congressman walz, 90 have left there. And go around africa and were monitoring to see if theres any reaction from the brazen proxy groups. Neil well done, and wellreported. That costs a lot of money when you have to reroute cargo container ship, maersk and others, and even getting to that destination is tough even if you can find ways around that and the costs are passed along to folks who had stuff on the ship as well as those who received stuff from the ship. Big, serious stuff. In the meantime here, bringing you uptodate not only on this latest expanded attack On Beirut and taking out yet another Terrorist Big Wig in the region, but how that could play into twin appearances on president ial candidates today, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Were on that after this. I just want to let you know, its probably not news because weve been reporting it this show, hezbollah has indeed confirmed that nasrallah is gone the leader of the Terrorist Group has been seen for the better part of 30 years is dead. He is joining the growing list of what hezbollah calls is long list of martyr so the leadership will battle against israel in support of Gaza And Palestine and steadfast and honorable people, separately, chief of the israeli defense forces, might be heard as idf, saying this is not the end of our toolbox. The message is simple anyone who threatens israel, we will know how to reach them. Now, how this sorts out on the political Stump Today on the part of both president ial candidates and the vicepresident ial candidates is anyones guess. And Rich Edson is where trump will be appearing later on today. Good morning, neil. Were in
