00:00Now this is all that's left of this nine-story building here. Nearly 30
00:05people lost their lives according to official figures but that is a tally
00:09that is expected to mount in hours to come as bodies are pulled out of the
00:14rubble of what is left of this building. This is where in the basement Hezbollah
00:19was holding a high-level meeting with over 10 of the most important members of
00:27the leadership of the military part of the organization and indeed this is
00:31where Israel struck a strike that of course has devastating consequences. They
00:37were informed apparently of this meeting by human intelligence less than an hour
00:41before this strike took place. They scrambled at an F-15 fighter jets and it
00:47took four missiles to take this building down. As you can imagine the damage is
00:52massive as I was saying at this stage nearly 30 dead, scores of wounded people
00:58including women and children and this of course is heavy collateral damage for an
01:04operation that of course has wiped out a large part of the leadership of Hezbollah.
