The leader of its lebanese group has been killed by israeli Air Strikes in southern lebanon. With me is our security correspondent, gordon corera. First of all, lets talk about the intelligence aspect, from Israels Point of view they seem to have had a string of stunning successes. Where are they getting their intelligence from . It they getting their intelligence from . ,. ,. , from . It is a contrast to the lack of intelligence from . It is a contrast to the lack of intelligence they from . It is a contrast to the I Lack of intelligence they had about hamas and its attacks near lay year ago. Israel in 2006 invaded lebanon and got stuck and got caught by surprise.

On this hour of ayman, more and more republicans want trump to lose the election to get their party back, but is it that simple? and a quest for accountability after an american activist was shot to death in the occupied west bank. Why her family is rejecting a proposal from the biden administration. And we have a doozy for the worst of the week matchup. It is holocaust revisionism versus hypocrisy and my panel is here to help me get through it. Let s do it. We begin this hour with a tale of two gop factions fighting over the future of their party. In one corner it is republicans who publicly want trump gone. In the other corner, republicans too cowardly to admit it.

From a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. His family racing the last few metres to greet him. Thin and pale but staff said in a good and stable condition.

Israel s prime minister called to welcome him home, keen to be part of his release. We cannot go into many details of this special operation but i can share that israeli commandos rescued qaid farhan alkadi from an underground tunnel following accurate intelligence. The army has described this as a complex operation based on precise intelligence but there are persistent reports here of a more nuanced story, even that farhan alkadi may have escaped his ca
Attack on october 7. Israel says he was rescued in what they are calling a complex operation. Lucy williamson sent this report from the soroka medical centre in southern israel. Surrounded again by sunlight, by the sound of hebrew. Farhan alkadi, a 52 year old bedouin israeli, snatching a second chance at life. Crouched on the floor of a military helicopter, after 326 days in captivity, a smile. The start of his journey back home. At israel s soroka hospital, his last few moments in hiding. A wall of israeli soldiers shielding him from the world he left ten months ago. From a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. His family racing the last few metres to greet him.
