00:00Iris, bring us up to date, first of all, on the situation in Israel. I mean, it does seem,
00:06doesn't it, there's been very little damage overnight, at least.
00:10There was some damage, some property damage, you know, the debris that falls, the shrapnel,
00:16I guess you'd call it, except it's much larger, when a rocket, a supersonic rocket or a ballistic
00:21missile is hit, can cause extensive damage. However, really, in real terms, what the
00:30Israeli Defence Force, the Chief of Staff, what he said was this, that Israel's Defence Forces
00:37had shown themselves able to prevent the enemy from causing large-scale damage because of its
00:44strong air defence system and because of the, what he called, exemplary behaviour of the civilians.
00:51Sorry, who when they're told to go into a bomb shelter, do just that. And so we saw that the
00:57only two people who were actually killed, sorry, as opposed to injured, was one man in Jordan hit
01:04by shrapnel from a missile and another in the West Bank, in fact, in Jericho, who came out too
01:11soon, if you like, hit by that shrapnel from an intercept or from the rocket itself. He, it turns
01:17out, was from, originally from Gaza. So the irony of having escaped Gaza to be killed by
01:25an Iranian missile is actually overwhelming.
