How Israel Defence Forces are preparing to fight Hezbollah | Israel-Hamas War
We’re in uh the Goan Heights the Syrian border it’s just a couple kilometers over that way and the Lev e Border in the other direction and we’re with Israeli paratroopers who were stationed up here and they’re getting ready for a potential conflict with Hezbollah the Goan Heights have been fought over many
Times it is now Israeli occupied land annexed after the 1967 War today it is again highly militarized preparing for war with a bigger more heavily armed enemy than Hamas Hezbollah is a pro- Iranian militia just over the border of course this isn’t any old exercise it’s an exercise with the
Knowledge that they could be going to war any day now that is the message that the soldiers have been given from the Israeli government and the senior military Commanders the Target in this exercise a mock Lebanese Village this life fire exercise attack Le tanks snipers on hill of artillery from the other forces
A decision whether to invade Lebanon has not been made yet but all the soldiers we spoke to privately said they thought it would happen we do not take uh uh the Readiness lightly and we uh uh continuously learn about their level of Readiness and their experience uh to
Fully understand our opponents and our enemies um but it doesn’t uh uh intimidate us uh uh I believe that the IDF throughout and my unit especially are much better trained and equipped than kisana this of course currently a warning to Hezbollah even if there was a ceasefire and Hezbollah stopped firing
Rockets into Israel that might not be enough to prevent War because the Israelis have been very clear that they want to push Hezbollah back deeper into Southern Lebanon in accordance with a UN resolution and if diplomacy doesn’t work they’ll use the idef to do it

Drone attack that killed three American Service members as Iraq now declares 3 days of mourning for the victims of the US air strikes this as President Biden repeatedly has said he wants to avoid a larger regional conflict I don’t think we need a wider war in the Middle East
That’s not what I’m looking for meanwhile the lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah calling the US strikes quote a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the two countries an attack on their security and territorial integrity and a Shameless violation of all International and humanitarian laws strong reactions have continue to
Come in with many people saying that the uh air strikes threaten stability here in the region and while us officials stress that these strikes are meant to deescalate the situation many here in the Middle East fear just the opposite might happen wh all right Marcus Moore thank you hi everyone George

Dozens of individual targets within each site the strike lasted over 30 minutes involving multiple aircraft those planes are now out of Harm’s Way and it comes on the same day President Biden and first lady Jill Biden were at do Air Force Base in Delaware for the dignified
Transfer of the remains of those Fallen service members we just returned from the Middle East where we were the first journalists to embed with the US Navy and saw the work being done firsthand to deter Iranian backed groups from attacking American Assets in the region tonight we have Team coverage from the
Pentagon to the Middle East and we want to begin with cbs’s Nancy ctis who is at the White House good evening Nancy and we are hearing from the commander-in-chief tonight right that’s right the president just issues a statement Nora saying that all the facilities the US struck this afternoon

UK unveils sanctions against Iran after plot to kill two TV presenters exposed
Let’s bring you some breaking news now the government’s announced new sanctions coordinated with the US targeting Iranian officials let’s bring in our political correspondent Rob poell for more H Rob what can you tell us so reading the details Jane this is not um a direct response to those um killings
Of US troops in Jordan which of course the US and the UK um has blamed um Iran and Iranian linked groups for this looks to be something that has been in the offing for a little bit longer than that and is actually a response to some Revelations from a TV documentary um in
December what it is is a sanctions package that targets seven individuals and one organization um uh they say that they are senior Iranian officials and members of organized criminal gangs who collaborate with the regime um and the organization is part of the Islamic revolutionary guard Corps uh unit 840
Um exposed in an investigation into plots to assassinate television presenters from the news channel Iran International on UK soil so it essentially means that some senior um Iranian officials and this organization will be subject to asset freezes and travel banss so um organizations in the
UK won’t be able to hold money on behalf of these people um or the organization um and uh the travel ban clearly means that they won’t be able to travel into the UK um either um there’s some details uh that have been released by the government as well saying since the
Start of 2022 the UK’s responded to at least 15 credible threats and plots to kill British or uk-based individuals by the Iranian um regime so this is to do with essentially the domestic threat and the threat posed potential threat posed by Iranian linked groups and individuals
To people within the UK and is a response um to that it is not a response to that um drone attack and the deaths of US troops that we’ve seen in the last 24 hours or so maybe what some um that want a tougher response towards Teran
Would also be calling for in response to this is full prescription of the irgc there have been calls from labor and from some conservatives as well for the group to be described as a terrorist organization um and clearly we wait to see what the response a likely military
Response you would think would be from the US and potentially the UK to those deaths that we saw on the Jordan Syrian Border in the last day or so okay Rob thanks very much
