Israeli Airstrike Kills Senior Hezbollah Commander in Southern Lebanon | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on a whirlwind diplomatic mission in an effort to keep Israel's war with Hamas from expanding. As he departed Saudi Arabia, the secretary explained what he would be discussing with Israeli leaders. Israeli government spokesman, Avi Hyman, joins to confirm it was an Israeli airstrike that killed a senior Hezbollah Commander in Southern Lebanon this morning. Hyman shares whether Israel is at all concerned about this leading to a wider conflict. The IDF spokesman said the Israeli military has entered a new phase of its invasion of Gaza. Hyman tells us what is happening. We are hearing dire reports from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital that it is on the verge of catastrophe. The Gaza team leader for the UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said, "Inside this hospital, we have children who have just been hit by shrapnel. We have children who have just been hit by gunfire. We have a woman inside who had to wait six days in order to access the testament because the fighting around her was so severe. So, the reason we are here today is first to call for the protection of Al-Aqsa Hospital, which has to be protected. The staff inside this hospital are heroes." Under International Humanitarian Law, hospitals should not be attacked. Hyman discusses how he would respond. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
