00:00Dozens of people were killed in the exchange of airstrikes between Israeli and Hezbollah
00:08forces over the past two days.
00:11Lebanon's authorities said an Israeli attack on Chouf district had killed 15 people and
00:15wounded eight others.
00:17The attack left a trail of destruction with damaged buildings.
00:21Residents have been largely evacuated from areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut targeted
00:25by Israel.
00:30In Nahariya town in northern Israel, authorities said the Hezbollah rockets struck a building
00:35killing two people.
00:37Israeli forces said they had intercepted many more rockets fired from Lebanon.
00:41The year-long war between the two countries have seen nearly 3,300 people killed in Lebanon
00:47and more than a million residents displaced.
00:51Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited his American counterpart Joe Biden at the White
00:55House on Tuesday.
00:57Herzog said they had a productive meeting and are hopeful that they can achieve their
01:01goals of securing peace in the Middle East.
01:03And the most important thing out of this discussion is of course the commitment of President Biden
01:09and the administration to work until January 20th, until the last minute, to achieve goals
01:15that are so important to peace and stability and predominantly security and security of
01:21the state of Israel in the Middle East.
01:24First and foremost there are various frontiers that we know.
01:28One is Lebanon, one is Gaza, of course Iran and the entire effort of how to change the
01:35trajectory of the Middle East towards a better future.
01:39And I hope, sincerely hope, that we will see certain results in the foreseeable future
01:45and the next few days hopefully in some of these efforts.
01:48So thank you all very much.
