Todayd hezbollahs victims hav a measure of justice. We have a number of reporters and analysts Around The World looking at all the angles to this bringing newsprint we will go to Matt Bradley joining us once again from beirut. What a rehearing from the u. S. State department to american citizens in lebanon . T reporter this latest thing from the State Department is something we have been hearing quite a bit. Various different verbiage trying to tell americans to please leave. Now it is getting a little bit, just a little bit more desperate in their language. It really telling americans to get out now while commercial flights are still available. E. The people but Ice Folk with ut who know about this thing, people at the embassy and others , the issue is that the embassy does not want to have a lot of americans who are clamoring at the doors desperate for the embassy to airlift them out. We do not know if the u. S. Government is planning some sort of Evacuation Plan for americans who are still in lebanonan, if this war comes, they do not want to be ey responsible for hundreds or thousands of americans clamoring to get out as fast as they can. They are also saying and this s is a major change, they are saying that basically, the authorized departure of Mission Employed People and Family Members not essential to u. S. Direct hire employees. Basically, people who are not foreign service officers and not critical employees to the embassy are now making their way out of the country. That is a major change in the posture of the u. S. Embassy. There is a big difference between what weve been hearing for the last year and what we are hearing right now we do not know if this means hearing that there is definitely going to beh a ground invasion. It would be a repeat of what happened in 2006, which was incredibly destructive. , we have already seen that level of destruction that happened over the course of a month in ou 2006 and we have seen it now. Really, in just the course of one week. A more concentrated version of that War Back in Ve 2006 has already come to pass. 6 that is even before we have seen an israeli ground incursion. There is a lot of fears that even though israel got the main prize for we just heard from Benjamin Netanyahu saying that Hassan Nasrallah is not a terrorist but the terrorist, boasting about how they got the main guy. An architect of plans. He said in his speech that iran he did irans bidding against israel but often he had iran do his bidding. In many Ways Israel seems to have seen nasrallah as irans puppetmaster. La not just iran is a puppetmaster of nasrallah. Despite this huge price, the israelis still have more in store for lebanon. Matt, Stay With Me. Running right now we have Erin Mclaughlin from tel aviv. It was referenced that Benjamin Netanyahu had spoken minutes ago. What else did he say . Reporter we just heard from the israeli Prime Minister speaking publicly for the first time since the assassination, having cut his trip to New York short and returning to israel as soon as he could. Addressing, tonight, the rayleigh israeli people he took the decision to kill Hassan Nasrallah at the beginning of the week and he explained the reasons why. Take a listen. Translator i gave instruction Andra Nasrallah is longer with us. His killing brings closer to the return of the people in the north to their homes and return to hostages from the south. This increases the chances for hostages going back. Es reporter you hear him and their reference the leader of hamas. He is arguing the rayleigh is really prime Minister Role prompt him to his race the israeli hostages and at least help prompt that. We have heard from hamas in ther wake of the assassination and say that this assassination will only serve to embolden hamas and increase the palestinian as well as the lebanese will to fight and resist the israelis. Now, at this point in israel and across the country, not only in tel aviv, israel these are bracing for the potential of retaliatory strikes as a result of the assassination earlier today o. According to t israeli military, a missile was firedi in the direction of central israel here in tel aviv. The siren sounded and people returning to shelters. It was intercepted with no injuries reported. It is the kind of attack that officials are say they are bracing for going forward, given the fact that israel shows no signs of stopping. Erin, i will ask you to Stay With Me as well. Joining my conversation with you. And matt we have an independent journalist who covers The Middle East. A welcome to you. I know you have decades of experience covering the israeli Palestinian Conflict would give us the Egg Significance of these recent events and what the reaction th inside of israel. The significance is major. Hassan nasrallah has about a the last 35 years of his life to try to eliminate israel from the map. In many ways he was behind Terror Attacks against the Israeli Embassy In Britain is iris. That far away in the early 90s, against jewish community Centers Lythere and u. S. Milita. He is a major, major figure importantly, for iran, which is attempting to establish a regional right now. He was the peripheral arm of the iranian armed forces. He and his organization. It is going to be very important to pay attention to how hezbollah manages to regroup in the coming days and weeks. Inside israel, reactions are extremely varied, as you might expect. The families of hostages and thousands and thousands who support Themsa Fear that all of the activity in lebanon in the last week is being used to try and erase the fact that 100 or more hostages are still being held in gaza from the public consciousness in israel. They are trying to face the failure to get them back after full year of war under, you know, these images. Noga, do you have any sense that this action might help expiate the return of hostages . Let me tell you why i asked. L Erin Mclaughlin, who is part of the conversation reported in the last hour by playing a clip between a commander and the actual pilot who dropped the missile that took out Hassan Nasrallah. Between the two of them there was an expression that this would help bring back the hostages , they hoped. Do you see an ability for that to happen . That conversation was between the Air Force Commander and the pilot. I dont know. I do know that with in the israeli military, there is a clear sense of the most important task ahead of them is to try and help get the hostages back. B what the israeli army has a Yesterday And Today is while they are prepared for any kind of scenarios, including an interesting invasion or partial invasion of southern lebanon, they are leaving space open for diplomatic activities. I think that the pilot, personally,k hopes that eliminating such a powerful person as Hassan Nasrallah from the picture, might help push the different parties still th involved in negotiations towards a negotiation. That is far from being an israeli government official position. Erin, i am looking at some notes of the transcription from Benjamin Netanyahu, do you recall you mentioning anything about getting the hostages home in the wake of this . Reporter he it is addressed to the israeli people said that he believes that the assassination of Hassan NasrallahWill Help s to put pressure on Yahya Sinwar to release the hostages. The israeli thinking that Yahya Sinwar wants to spark a regional conflict and the thinking being if he sees that i Hassan Nasrallah is no more, that support from hezbollah will no longer be there. It might push him, according to the israeli Prime Minister , addressing publicly his people it might push Yahya Sinwar i to reach some sort of deal. R that calculus is dubious considering what hamas itself set earlier today in the wake of the assassination. That the resistance would continue and vowing to continue his fight with israel. Matt, with regards to i rain and reports which you highlighted that there are that they are going to send troops to lebanon. What happens Next with iran . What extent will that heighten things and push the prospect of a Ground War or do you think that is not on the table . Reporter i really dont think that is on the table. Th i dont expect iran to send troops to lebanon. I have not heard reports there were troops being sent to lebanon by iran. I think that would be a major escalation if that were to happen. Ive not heard any reports la saying that iran is going to be sending troops to lebanon. If that were to occur, it would be a very dangerous escalation and very destabilizing for lebanon itself. It could happen. The Lebanese And Hezbollah has close connections with iran. I believe it was axios reported that hezbollah reached out to iran and asked iran to intervene directly against israel. They were rebuffed and the iranian said no they would not do that. That would be a deeply destabilizing for the entire middle east. It would force the israelis to get Ly Winto her direct crossfi iranian troops. Which already happened back in april for Psboth Sides stepped backfo. I apologize for attributing you with that. We did have the report that it had been reported that iran would send some troops into lebanon. Given the Leadership Void and the fact that hezbollah answers to iran, the boy that is now presented with the death of Hassan Nasrallah and other senior leadership in hezbollah. What fills the vacuum . Doesnt make any sense to have iran send proxies into lebanon to help stabilize the area . Reporter we know there was an iranian official, a member of the i rgc, who was killed and that is the republican guard. One of the main groups that the iranians use in order to project their power to the axis of resistance. They are backed by the running is. They are the most powerful by far amongst the axis of resistance. One amof the officials from within that group, an iranian national was killed, according to lebanese health officials, in the Attack Yesterday that also killed Hassan Nasrallah. There are iranian boots on the R Ground but there is not a large powerful Military Force of rank andfile troops who are on the ground here. To answer your question, it does make sense when the Iranianse Project their Power Leadership in hezbollah. N the fact that hezbollah has a fealty to iran written into their charter and written into their manifesto that founded the group, just says a lot about how connected hezbollah is pretty be iranian Audiology Back in 1979 inspired the creation of hezbollah. It was iranians who helped Build Hezbollah from other existing Hassan Nasrallah militias here in lebanon during the lebanon civil war. It is not farfetched at all. It is quite likely. The question is, is whether or not they will send a real force. I find that, you know, i have been wrong many times before but that seems like it would be a very destabilizing thing. We met we did have a condo or the level of boots on the Th Ground in terms of their fighting for stability when we were told this would be something they were contemplating. Let me ask you, noga, with getting a ceasefire. How does this contribute to that possibility or eradicate the possibility of having a ceasefire . I dont think we know just yet. In part, the Hamas Leader has been incommunicado for a few weeks and not responding to mediators for the israeli government has beene sending o very mixed messages. Publicly and also behind the scenes. Telling the White House that they supported efforts to try to get to a ceasefire, which would allow in negotiations for the release of hostages. And then publicly taking that back. It is really, i would say, a chaotic situation and with the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah, we are kind of in uncharted grounds. This could even have two steps. In the immediate future, for example, bring a kind of, you know, silence in the field. Once he is replaced with another leader, actually there could be another escalation. I think we will just have to hold tight and wait to see how this very dramatic event develops. Noga tarnopolsky, thank you so much. Matt bradley and Erin Mclaughlin as well, both of Soy Guys too.
