00:00Joining me on the set now, Friends24's own Shirley Sitbon.
00:02Hello to you, Shirley.
00:04Again, this alleged by the Israeli military, Hassan Nasrallah's death.
00:09No confirmation yet.
00:10How has this been perceived in Israel?
00:12Well, you can see Hassan Nasrallah's picture on Israeli media with the word eliminated
00:18beneath it and saying what, quote, the world's biggest terrorist is now, it's the end for
00:26him, for the world's biggest terrorist.
00:27That's the way they see it.
00:29And the words of the Israeli army are also shown everywhere.
00:34The chief of staff, who said we have more in our toolbox, the message here is we can
00:38get to anyone who is threatening our population.
00:41And the spokesperson of the Israeli army giving some kind of reasoning behind this, saying
00:48that, well, Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah, they've declared war on Israel right after
00:53Hamas since October 8th, they've attacked us, and we'll get back to anyone who threatens
00:59us and attacks us.
01:01That's the words of the Israeli army.
01:03And while many people see this as a victory, because Hassan Nasrallah, such a charismatic
01:08leader, seen as a very intelligent person, heading Israel's biggest enemy, a far greater
01:14threat than Hamas, but others are saying, remember, Hassan Nasrallah replaced another
01:20Hezbollah leader who we eliminated, Bassam Awassi, and we got Nasrallah, who's considered
01:27as a far greater leader.
01:29So we don't know what's coming next.
01:30So let's remain cool.
01:32And now there's the whole debate in Israel.
01:34Where is this going?
01:36Is this going to lead to a ground invasion in southern Lebanon?
01:40You can hear more and more voices saying, well, let's finish this war.
01:43Let's get—let's conclude this with a victory.
01:45We don't have a victory yet.
01:46And other people are saying, wait a second, a war has led in the past to many deaths.
01:51Maybe it's better to negotiate something now.
01:53And this Saturday morning, we see Israel activating more battalions, as well.
01:57Exactly.
01:58So, this is where it's heading.
02:00We heard Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday talking at the U.N., saying, we are winning, and showing
02:05basically that they're ready to continue.
02:06Where are they heading?
02:07Is the goal just to bring some quiet to the north of Israel, to push Hezbollah rocket
02:12launchers a bit back?
02:14Or are they planning on attacking, having a global attack against various Iran proxies
02:19in the region, and perhaps later some global war against Iran?
02:23We don't really know where this is heading.
02:25And some people are saying, let's be cautious here, let's not, you know, go too far.
