SITDOWN." >>> AND ANOTHER "LIFE WELL LIVED" ALL LATER IN THE SHOW. >>> LET'S BEGIN WITH THE BREAKING NEWS. ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH TRADING MILITARY STRIKES, AS THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD BRACE FOR POTENTIAL OF A WIDER WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WE HAVE TWO REPORTS. LET'S BEGIN WITH DANIELLE IN JERUSALEM. WHAT'S THE LATEST THERE? >> Reporter: IT HAPPENED BEFORE 5:00 HERE. ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE HAS REPORTS THAT HEZBOLLAH HAD THOUSANDS OF ROCKET LAUNCHERS AIMED AND POINTED AT ISRAEL. ISRAEL DEPLOYED 100 FIGHTER JETS THAT BOMBED 40 SITES ACROSS SOUTHERN LEBANON, DESTROYING THE ROCKET LAUNCHERS ISRAEL SAYS WERE EMBEDDED IN CIVILIAN AREAS. HEZBOLLAH REJECTING THIS VERSION OF EVENTS. SAYING IT DESTROYED ABOUT A DOZEN MILITARY SITES ACROSS NORTHERN ISRAEL, 11 TO BE PRECISE, KNOCKING DOWN INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT ALLOWED IT TO LAUNCH DRONES DEEPER INTO ISRAEL. THIS WAS REVENGE FOR THE ASSASSINATION BY ISRAEL IN LEBANON LAST MONTH. AND HEZBOLLAH SAYS THIS COMPLETES PHASE ONE OF THE MILITARY OPERATION. THAT BEGS THE QUESTION WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

HAMAS HAS A DELEGATION ON THE GROUND. THEY ARE NOT TAKING DIRECTLY IN THE TALKS BUT THEY ARE ON THE GROUND. AND THAT, IN ITSELF, CAN BE SEEN
