It's very difficult to see how a ceasefire works, where written into that is an agreement that one side can keep firing if it deems necessary, and where one party hasn't signed up at all.

So I think the mood of whether this is going to be successful is pretty pessimistic.

It's clearly something that President Trump wants.

He has urged the Israelis to use restraint.

He doesn't want to see them bombing, for example, the Lebanese capital, Beirut again.

Olemme käyneet Matulaan, israelilaisella kaupungilla. Se on noin niin kauan etukäteen kuin voidaan saada. Voit nähdä rannanvallan muutamia kymmenen metriä lähellä. Jos katsotaan aiemmin, voidaan nähdä lebanilaisvallan ruinoja, jotka olivat poistuneet Hezbollahin ja Israelin kohdalla.

18 vuotta sitten. Hezbollah, Lebanon alueella syykkinen militia-ryhmä, on religiallisesti, taloudellisesti ja ideologiallisesti johtunut Iranille. Näiden johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan johtuvaan joht

They've gone in on the ground to try and push Hezbollah back. We've heard the sound of explosions in the distance. Could have been airstrikes, could have been tank shelling, just as we arrived here this morning. Now, in the past, Hezbollah was able to launch attacks on towns like Metulla from just a few hundred meters away. Israel is determined that will not happen again. And in the past, when the war in Gaza started, these villages...

Israelissa ne tulivat evakuoimaan. Noin 60 000 ihmisiä, jotka elävät Israelin pohjoissa, tulivat jäädä kotona noin vuotta. Israelit ovat tarkastelleet, että se ei tapahtu uudestaan. Se oli John Donison Norjassa Israelissa. Nyt Lebanon puolustus Beirutissa, johon meidän puheenjohtaja Wira Davies on ollut yksi israelilaisen taakse.

I'm in front of an apartment block that has been completely flattened.

It's reduced to rubble, really, and that is where one of the Iranian ballistic missiles got through.

Most of them are being shot down by Israel's air defence system, but it's here that we had the first casualty in Israel of this war, a woman who we think was a Filipino care worker looking after someone in that building.

was killed and a number of other people have been injured and all morning the sirens have been going off here.

I've heard loud explosions overhead.

Just as we were driving to Tel Aviv, we saw a couple of Iranian missiles being shot down directly above our car.

So, you know, the Iranians have said this is going to be the most devastating operation in their history in retaliation and they do seem to be being true to their word.

Well, they do.

I mean, that's pretty obvious.

They have completely penetrated Iranian security.

They have agents on the ground there.
