Speaker 1 (00:00):
Taking in from Israel for us this morning. A Viva
Klampus from Boundless Israel. She's a pro Israeli activist and author.
It is already Rashjashana in Israel and on the Eva
of Russiashana. Of course, Iran attacked the state of Israel,
sending about two hundred blistic missiles. The Irondome got a
lot of them. A Viva. There were some explosions. Bring
(00:23):
us up to date on the damage around around the
country as a result of those missiles.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, thank you, good morning. So, as you said, it was,
Iran fired one hundred and eighty one ballistic missiles at
Israel last night. I'm in Tel Aviv and there is
in a tall building. There's a shelter on every floor.
So we went to the shelter and we heard the
sirens and a lot of booms, and it was such
it was so dramatic that they actually instructed us to
(00:51):
go downstairs to an underground shelter where we spent the
remainder of the evening. The benchcon says it was about
twice as many ballistic missiles as Iran previously fired at
Israel back in April. And today we know that the
one casualty of last night's Ranian attack was a gazen
man who was hit by a missile fragment as he
was standing on the street in Jericho. And back in April,
(01:14):
the one victim who wasn't killed but was severely injured
was a seven year old Arab bedwin little girl. And
that's what Irean's been able to inflict on the country.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Separately, there was a terrorist attack by two gunmen outside
a light rail station, and what is the toll on that?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So, as you said, yes, there were two Palestinian terraces,
one with a gun, one with a knife, who attacked
in Jaffa on a train station, opening fire and then
going onto the street and opening fire. There were seven victims.
They're all relatively young. There was a mother who had
her nine month old baby with her. The mother was murdered,
(01:54):
the baby was taken to hospital and will now grow
up alone. And the rest of the victims appeared to
be in their twenties and thirties.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Benjamin Netanyahu bowing revenge, vowing revenge rather more troops evidently
headed into Lebanon. How close do you think this is
escalating into a World War?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I think that's exactly what the question is right now.
Is that we saw in April, President Biden told Prime
Minister Natanya, who take the wind, Well, it's not a
win if a few months later Iran goes and doubles
its attack on Israel and forces ten million people to
have to run for their lives. This can't stand as
it is right now. And what we're seeing not just
(02:33):
from the United States but from leaders all over the world,
or these statements that say Israel has a right to
defend itself, but then when Israel goes and tries to
defend itself, they will condemn Israel as trying to seriously
constrain it. And I liken it to the world watching
an arsonist repeatedly set fire to a home, but then
insisting that the homeowner can only put out the fires
and not actually do anything about the arsenist himself.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So Gaza. Is there any focus on Gaza within Israel still?
I mean, do you get that sense while you're there?
Or is there all eyes now turned toward Iran and
Hezbolah and Syria too. I understand that some of the
missions were into Syria.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
There's still one hundred and one hostages being held by
Hamas in Gaza, and certainly that is heavy on the
heart of this entire nation, and people are still adamant
that those who can be brought home must be brought home.
And it's heartbreaking because, as you said, the focus is
now on what's happening in the north, and it's it's
(03:33):
difficult to hold your attention in two places, but it's
it's very much still a goal of the war to
return these hostages.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Home, including seven Americans.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Exactly at this point of Viva, How are the Israeli
people responding to some of the things that the Prime
Minister has been saying Netanyahu? Is he getting the support
at this point for continued military operations. Are any of
them calling for the Israelis to pull back? You know,
(04:06):
what's the general mood of the country at this point.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I would say amongst the Israeli people, the consensus is
that this is not this is not a situation that
Israeli should need to live with. They should not have
to deal with the constant rocket attacks from Kresbola and Lebanon.
There have been over nine thousand rocket attacks almost daily
for a year now since October eighth. Of course, there
is the threat that from Hamas and Gaza, which claimed
(04:31):
twelve hundred lives one hundred and one hostages still there.
So amongst the Israeli people, it's very clear that the
threats against the country, against the citizens need to come
to an end. Sixty thousand Israelis have been forced from
their homes in northern Israel because of the threat that
KSBEL opposes to them, because the UN is failing to
impose Resolution seventeen oh one, which is supposed to have
(04:53):
pushed Kresbola away from the border. It's supposed to have
disarmed the terrorist group. That hasn't happened in eighteen years,
and so now Israel is forced to go in and
try to push the terroists away so that Israelis can
return to their home and have what all people in
the world should have, this right to live peacefully, to
be able to celebrate our Jewish holidays, and to live
life here normally. So in that sense, I think the
(05:14):
Israeli people are united in how we go about bringing
the hostages home and how we go about dealing with
Iran in this moment. I think that's where the debates begin.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It would help if the American government did not help
Iran fund itself.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Certainly it would also help if, as I said, there's
a lot of statements that are well, that's obvious. Saying
that Israel has a right to defend itself, yes, that
should go without saying do we ever say that about
Canada or Britain or Germany. Every sovereign state has a
right to defend itself if you put your money where
your mouth is, when you actually support that country to
(05:50):
be able to support itself. Iran has sent its terrorist
proxies UTIs and Yemen, Ramas and Gaza Resbula in Lebanon,
various other terrorist groups in Syria and in Iraq there
non stop attacking Israel. And so it's like swatting flies
in a swamp to try to go after these proxy
groups rather than go after the main source of the threat,
which is Iran.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Well, and the main sources striking you now, so now's
the time to go after them. I guess thank you
for your time this morning. Best of Viva Klompus from
Boundless Israel. It's five fifty seven
