WEBVTT

00:01.486 --> 00:02.437
IN THE WORLD.

00:02.448 --> 00:04.141
I WOULD BE SORE, I WOULD ALSO

00:04.175 --> 00:05.250
FOLLOW A LOT.

00:05.261 --> 00:06.974
>>> GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US ON

00:06.985 --> 00:11.232
THIS WEDNESDAY MORNING.

00:11.243 --> 00:13.550
I AM JOE FRYER.

00:13.584 --> 00:15.550
>> AND I AM SAVANNA SELLERS.

00:15.561 --> 00:16.686
>>> IRAN LAUNCHED NEARLY 200

00:16.697 --> 00:17.680
BALLISTIC MISSILES INTO ISRAEL

00:17.714 --> 00:19.006
ON TUESDAY IN WHAT IRAN SAYS

00:19.007 --> 00:20.251
WAS AN RESPONSE TO THE KILLING

00:20.262 --> 00:21.206
OF ONE OF ITS COMMANDERS AND

00:21.217 --> 00:22.347
HEZBOLLAH LEADERS HASSAN

00:22.382 --> 00:23.698
NASRALLAH OVER THE WEEKEND .

00:23.700 --> 00:24.872
THE IDF SAID, IT INTERCEPTED

00:24.883 --> 00:26.139
MOST OF THE MISSILES FIRED IN

00:26.150 --> 00:27.345
THE COUNTRY.

00:27.356 --> 00:29.069
>> THE ISRAELI MILITARY SAYS,

00:29.103 --> 00:30.864
AT LEAST ONE PERSON WAS KILLED

00:30.875 --> 00:32.250
AND SEVERAL OTHERS INJURED.

00:32.251 --> 00:34.642
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

00:34.643 --> 00:37.319
NETANYAHU, BOWING TO RETALIATE

00:37.330 --> 00:38.782
SAYING, ISRAEL WILL PAY.

00:38.793 --> 00:40.570
ISRAEL LAUNCHED WHAT IT CALLED

00:40.581 --> 00:44.461
A LIMITED AND LOW GROUND

00:44.495 --> 00:46.085
OPERATION AGAINST HEZBOLLAH IN

00:46.087 --> 00:47.719
LEBANON, RAISING THE STAKES AND

00:47.730 --> 00:49.069
WHAT WAS ALREADY A TENSE MOMENT

00:49.104 --> 00:50.374
BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES.

00:50.385 --> 00:52.131
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID, THE U.S.

00:52.142 --> 00:53.793
IS FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF ISRAEL,

00:53.828 --> 00:54.737
BUT IT’S ADMINISTRATION IS

00:54.748 --> 00:55.849
STILL DISCUSSING WHAT KIND OF

00:55.850 --> 00:57.033
RESPONSE WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

00:57.067 --> 00:59.697
NBC NEWS CHIEF INTERNATIONAL

00:59.708 --> 01:01.789
ANALYST ADMIRAL JAMES IS

01:01.823 --> 01:04.466
STANDING BY FOR MORE.

01:04.477 --> 01:09.875
BUT LET’S BEGIN WITH NBC NEWS

01:09.886 --> 01:11.169
INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT IN

01:11.204 --> 01:12.633
THE GROUND WITH THE LATEST,

01:12.644 --> 01:14.259
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US IS

01:14.270 --> 01:15.413
HAPPENING THIS MORNING?

01:15.424 --> 01:16.914
>> Reporter: JUST AS YOU SAID,

01:16.915 --> 01:17.769
HEZBOLLAH HAS ANNOUNCED THEY

01:17.780 --> 01:21.197
HAVE EXCHANGED FIRE WITH

01:21.208 --> 01:23.276
ISRAELI, A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM

01:23.287 --> 01:24.455
YESTERDAY, WHEN ISRAEL SAID,

01:24.489 --> 01:26.128
THEY HAD LAUNCHED A GROUND

01:26.129 --> 01:27.258
INVASION, MUCH ANTICIPATED,

01:27.260 --> 01:29.204
INTO LEBANON, BUT THEY HAVE NOT

01:29.205 --> 01:31.271
ENCOUNTERED ANY HEZBOLLAH

01:31.272 --> 01:35.174
COMMANDERS. NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE

01:35.185 --> 01:37.549
THEY HAVE FINALLY COME TO BLOW

01:37.551 --> 01:39.052
. WE LEARNED YESTERDAY THAT THE

01:39.063 --> 01:39.900
ISRAELIS HAVE BEEN LAUNCHING

01:39.911 --> 01:41.792
INCURSIONS INTO LEBANON 70

01:41.826 --> 01:43.525
TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR, THIS

01:43.536 --> 01:44.556
ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

01:44.567 --> 01:45.737
NOW, AS YOU MENTIONED, WE ARE

01:45.748 --> 01:46.921
SEEING THESE MISSILES FIRED

01:46.922 --> 01:48.677
FROM IRAN INTO ISRAEL.

01:48.688 --> 01:51.231
THIS WAS A SITUATION THAT HAS

01:51.242 --> 01:52.153
NOT NECESSARILY INVOLVED

01:52.187 --> 01:55.842
LEBANON DIRECTLY, BUT IT VERY

01:55.853 --> 01:57.719
MUCH WILL, BECAUSE HEZBOLLAH IN

01:57.720 --> 01:58.982
THE MIDDLE EAST, FACING OFF

01:59.016 --> 02:01.248
AGAINST ISRAEL, IN ESSENTIALLY,

02:01.250 --> 02:04.456
ON SOME LEVEL, DOES HE RUN’S

02:04.457 --> 02:06.250
BIDDING. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE

02:06.261 --> 02:07.773
RETALIATION ISRAEL YOU’LL BE

02:07.774 --> 02:11.021
LEVYING AGAINST IRAN, AND

02:11.032 --> 02:13.142
WHATEVER IRAN DECIDES TO DO

02:13.153 --> 02:14.199
AGAINST THAT RETALIATION, IT

02:14.210 --> 02:15.316
WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE AN

02:15.317 --> 02:16.570
EFFECT RIGHT HERE IN LEBANON,

02:16.571 --> 02:18.016
PLACES WHERE HEZBOLLAH IS

02:18.051 --> 02:21.268
CONTROLLING. THAT COULD BECOME

02:21.269 --> 02:22.883
ANOTHER MAJOR FLASHPOINT, AND

02:22.894 --> 02:25.441
OF COURSE A HORRIBLE BURDEN FOR

02:25.475 --> 02:27.117
THE PEOPLE OF LEBANON, 1000 OF

02:27.128 --> 02:28.253
WHOM HAVE ALREADY BEEN KILLED

02:28.288 --> 02:29.490
IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

02:29.491 --> 02:30.550
ACCORDING TO LEBANESE

02:30.561 --> 02:31.968
AUTHORITIES, 1 MILLION OF WHOM

02:31.979 --> 02:33.320
HAVE BEEN DISPLACED FROM THEIR

02:33.321 --> 02:35.131
HOMES.

02:35.142 --> 02:38.749
>> Reporter: MATT, LET’S TALK

02:38.760 --> 02:40.973
ABOUT WHAT WE SAW HAPPEN IN

02:40.974 --> 02:42.322
ISRAEL YESTERDAY, AT LEAST ONE

02:42.356 --> 02:43.553
PERSON WAS KILLED AND IS REALLY

02:43.564 --> 02:44.447
AUTHORITY SAID THIS MORNING

02:44.448 --> 02:45.762
THAT SHOCKWAVES FROM THE ATTACK

02:45.773 --> 02:47.382
DAMAGED MANY HOMES IN CENTRAL

02:47.393 --> 02:48.645
ISRAEL. WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU

02:48.679 --> 02:50.568
LEARNED ABOUT THE DAMAGE CAUSED

02:50.579 --> 02:51.700
BY THOSE IRANIAN MISSILES?

02:51.734 --> 02:53.588
>> Reporter: YEAH, WELL WE ARE

02:53.599 --> 02:57.299
STILL SEEING FOOTAGE OF PEOPLE

02:57.301 --> 02:59.956
PICKING UP DEBRIS IMMEDIATELY

02:59.957 --> 03:02.136
AFTER THE ATTACK, NEARLY 200

03:02.147 --> 03:04.403
BALLISTIC MISSILES.

03:04.404 --> 03:07.438
THIS IS JUST WORLDS AWAY FROM

03:07.449 --> 03:09.442
THE KIND OF FIGHTING WE SAW IN

03:09.453 --> 03:10.420
APRIL, WHEN THE IRANIANS

03:10.421 --> 03:11.173
LAUNCHED A DRONE OVER TO

03:11.184 --> 03:11.767
ISRAEL.

03:11.768 --> 03:13.399
THAT WAS, AT THAT TIME,

03:13.433 --> 03:13.921
UNPRECEDENTED.

03:13.932 --> 03:15.775
THE ISRAELI AUTHORITIES CREDITED

03:15.777 --> 03:17.382
THE PREPARATION THAT THE

03:17.393 --> 03:19.544
ISRAELIS TOOK ISRAELI CIVILIANS

03:19.555 --> 03:22.248
GOING INTO SHELTERS, TAKING

03:22.259 --> 03:23.587
PRECAUTIONS JUST IN

03:23.621 --> 03:24.635
ANTICIPATION OF EXACTLY WHAT

03:24.646 --> 03:25.096
HAPPENED.

03:25.130 --> 03:28.249
WE ARE STILL SEEING A LOT OF

03:28.260 --> 03:30.297
DEBRIS, A COUPLE OF INJURIES,

03:30.332 --> 03:32.136
HOMES THAT WERE DAMAGED,

03:32.147 --> 03:33.971
ROADWAYS THAT WERE SORT OF

03:34.005 --> 03:36.454
OPENED UP BY THIS VIOLENT

03:36.465 --> 03:39.184
DEBRIS, AND ONE IN THE WEST TAKE

03:39.185 --> 03:43.636
MY HORRIFYING VIDEO THAT HAS

03:43.670 --> 03:44.509
BEEN CIRCULATING.

03:44.520 --> 03:46.149
THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT

03:46.184 --> 03:47.650
DESPITE THE FACT THAT IRAN

03:47.651 --> 03:48.901
TRIED THEIR BEST TO HELP THE

03:48.912 --> 03:50.960
ISRAELIS, AND DESPITE THOSE

03:50.971 --> 03:52.245
VIDEOS, REALLY QUITE TERRIFYIN

03:52.279 --> 03:54.273
, ALL OF THOSE MISSILES FALLING

03:54.274 --> 03:55.996
FROM THE SKY, THE ISRAELIS HAVE

03:56.007 --> 03:58.551
A VERY, VERY STRONG SET OF

03:58.562 --> 03:59.263
DEFENSES.

03:59.274 --> 04:02.359
THEY ARE ARROW INTO THE AIR

04:02.394 --> 04:04.896
DEFENSE SYSTEM CAME INTO PLAY.

04:04.897 --> 04:08.484
THESE ARE TWO VERY ADVANCED,

04:08.495 --> 04:10.746
AND THE AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS. WE

04:10.757 --> 04:12.274
DID NOT HEAR MUCH ABOUT THE

04:12.285 --> 04:13.201
IRON DOG, NORMALLY USED FOR

04:13.212 --> 04:14.119
SMALLER MISSILES, LOWER

04:14.153 --> 04:15.898
TRAJECTORIES FIRED FROM PLACES

04:15.909 --> 04:18.510
LIKE THE GAZA STRIP. WE SAW

04:18.512 --> 04:22.000
THEM USING THEIR MOST ADVANCED

04:22.001 --> 04:23.793
ANTI-AIR WEAPONRY.

04:23.827 --> 04:28.425
>> PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU ,

04:28.436 --> 04:30.638
AS WE MENTIONED, SAID, THEY

04:30.673 --> 04:32.096
WILL PAY FOR THAT ATTACK,

04:32.097 --> 04:33.037
ISRAEL HAS STRUCK INSIDE IRAN

04:33.048 --> 04:33.607
BEFORE.

04:33.641 --> 04:36.862
DO WE HAVE A PLAN IN TIME FOR

04:36.873 --> 04:39.915
WHATEVER RETALIATION IS COMING?

04:39.916 --> 04:41.826
>> Reporter: WE REALLY DON’T

04:41.827 --> 04:42.181
KNOW.

04:42.192 --> 04:43.919
THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL BE

04:43.930 --> 04:47.450
HEARING FROM WASHINGTON AND THE

04:47.461 --> 04:49.292
ISRAELIS FROM THE COMING DAYS

04:49.326 --> 04:49.899
AND WEEKS.

04:49.910 --> 04:50.884
THE ISRAELIS OBVIOUSLY HAVE

04:50.885 --> 04:51.930
BEEN GUARDING FOR THIS MOMENT,

04:51.941 --> 04:52.722
SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT

04:52.733 --> 04:53.665
SURPRISE THEM, GIVING SOMETHING

04:53.698 --> 04:54.898
THEY HAVE BEEN GOING AROUND THE

04:54.899 --> 04:55.850
MIDDLE EAST, TAKING OUT TOP

04:55.852 --> 04:56.651
LEADERS FROM THE ISLAMIC

04:56.662 --> 04:58.019
REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS, THE

04:58.053 --> 05:01.842
MAIN BODY IN IRAN, DISCOVERING

05:01.853 --> 05:03.367
SO-CALLED ACTS OF RESISTANCE

05:03.378 --> 05:04.519
AND COLLECTING THEM ALTOGETHER.

05:04.553 --> 05:05.784
THE PRIMARY GROUP THAT ACTS AS

05:05.795 --> 05:07.974
RESISTANCE IS HEZBOLLAH AND

05:07.985 --> 05:09.193
THEIR LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN

05:09.195 --> 05:09.524
DECAPITATED.

05:09.558 --> 05:14.794
ON FRIDAY, WE SAW RIGHT HERE IN

05:14.805 --> 05:17.081
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF DAHLI,  THE

05:17.092 --> 05:18.021
KILLING OF HEZBOLLAH LEADER

05:18.023 --> 05:18.640
HASSAN NASRALLAH.

05:18.641 --> 05:20.252
IF THERE IS TO BE A GREATER

05:20.263 --> 05:21.538
REGIONWIDE WAR, AND IF  ISRAEL

05:21.549 --> 05:22.778
RETALIATE IN A WAY THAT MOST

05:22.812 --> 05:25.865
PEOPLE IN THIS REGION ARE., WE

05:25.876 --> 05:27.119
COULD SEE HEZBOLLAH, THE

05:27.154 --> 05:30.201
CATSPAW OF THE IRANIANS, REALLY

05:30.212 --> 05:31.619
COMING INTO PLAY HERE.

05:31.630 --> 05:33.351
THAT WOULD BE A BIG PROBLEM FOR

05:33.362 --> 05:34.518
THE PEOPLE OF LEBANON, WHO ARE

05:34.553 --> 05:35.458
NOT NECESSARILY INVOLVED IN

05:35.460 --> 05:38.861
THIS, BUT WHO ARE VICTIMIZED BY

05:38.872 --> 05:40.590
THE FACT THAT WAR IS HAPPENING

05:40.591 --> 05:41.162
AROUND THEM.

05:41.163 --> 05:42.236
WE HAVE SEEN, ACCORDING TO

05:42.247 --> 05:43.138
LEBANESE AUTHORITIES, MORE THAN

05:43.149 --> 05:43.613
1 MILLION PEOPLE JUST LACED,
