US has said it launched new strikes on southern Iran

You see them wearing their neon jackets, beckoning the second ambulance as it's coming to help load the injured onto the ambulance.

And as the ambulance arrives, it takes a direct hit.

All those on the ground were killed.

crew inside the ambulance suffered injuries and they're still in hospital and when we put those pictures to the Israeli military they said that they had targeted a motorbike although we couldn't see

The Claire Byrne Show

any evidence of a motorbike being on the ground and that the second strike was also against a motorbike.

And again, the pictures utterly contradicted this explanation.

Now, just to say that the Israeli military say that they are, and we've heard overnight, a very dramatic ratcheting up of the rhetoric from Israel with the Prime Minister, Bini Ben Netanyahu, saying that Israel

instructing the Israeli military to escalate the war in Lebanon because they're being very frustrated by the Hezbollah use of first-person view drones, FPV drones, as he mentioned in his video.

And that has led to a high number of Israeli soldiers being killed, 11.

during the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli military say that they've got nearly a thousand attacks on their troops in South Lebanon as well as in the northern Israel communities.

what they perceive as the threat from, it's more than a perception actually, from the Hezbollah armed group in Lebanon, who are firing, have been firing rockets into the communities in Northern Israel.

The Claire Byrne Show

And this has been done in response to what's happening between the US, Israel and Iran.

The Claire Byrne Show

Hezbollah is funded and very much aligned with the Iranian authorities, the Iranian

regime and Iran, the Iranian negotiators, also want to link what's happening in Lebanon to any peace deal that they have with the US and Israel.

in Lebanon, as well as casualties amongst the medical group and the medical infrastructure in Lebanon.

And Israel and the Iranian negotiators very much want it part of any deal.
