00:00 Let's look at another front in this emerging conflict. Hezbollah has said it's fired missiles
00:05 on Israel from the south of Lebanon today and Israel has responded with retaliatory
00:10 fire. Lebanese media is reporting that two civilians on their side of the border have
00:15 been injured today. Well, let's go live then to the south of Lebanon. Correspondent Rawad
00:21 Taha joins me on the programme. He's not far from the border. Rawad, tell us where you
00:27 are and what's been happening today. Currently, I'm in Marjayoun, which is located roughly
00:33 around three kilometres away from the border with the state of Israel. This side of the
00:39 border has been fairly stable. Most of the artillery and the firing has been on the western
00:44 side of the border today. So as you mentioned, a number of rockets were fired by Hezbollah
00:50 targeting an Israeli site in the northern Galil. Israel has retaliated with strikes
00:58 and shelling that targeted the outskirts of a Lebanese town. However, a number of homes
01:05 were damaged and the report of three injuries up until this moment. However, for the last
01:11 couple of hours after that incident, the border has returned to stability. So this is what
01:16 we've been seeing over the past few days. Hours of instability, rockets fired, mostly
01:22 claimed by Palestinian militias, Israeli retaliation to those rockets fired and then Hezbollah
01:28 retaliates only after Israel retaliates to their positions. So it seems like this has
01:36 been the case for the past three days. Not any wide, wide escalation, but of course it's
01:41 a very tense situation. And as you see behind me, not a lot of people on the street, not
01:46 a lot of car movement. So a lot of people in the towns bordering Israel have left the
01:52 area. I was going to ask you about that then. So you're saying people are starting to leave
01:58 some of these areas near the Israeli border. Presumably then they're fearful of a further
02:03 flare up of violence. Sadly, this is the case. While some stores and some supermarkets were
02:10 still open today, a lot of the stores we passed by were still mostly closed. The border towns
02:18 are usually the towns of which people have already started leaving gradually over the
02:23 past three days. So I think after the first incident, everyone thought it was just one
02:27 incident and there won't be a spillover. But with this continuous round of incidents over
02:32 the past three days, a lot of people have decided to leave. This is only the case for
02:35 the towns that are very close to the border. The rest of the towns in southern Lebanon
02:40 are still fully functional, if I may say.
