00:00The explosion was heard from a rocket that fell in a village in the northern part of Israel.

00:10Three people were injured in the explosion last Sunday.

00:14Parts of the city of Sigalot, between Israel and the Hezbollah group in Lebanon,

00:18were burned down more than a year ago due to the war in Gaza.

00:22Yesterday, the tension increased.

00:25A fire and explosion broke out in some parts of Lebanon.

00:30This includes the suburbs on the Lebanese side of Beirut.

00:34Yesterday, Israel also released a video of the airstrikes

00:37against which the Hezbollah group fired weapons in some parts of Lebanon.

00:42According to the Israeli military,

00:44more than 1,000 Hezbollah targets were bombed in southern Lebanon and Bika'a Valley.

00:50That's why they reported to those who fled.

00:53The Hezbollah missiles were also used to destroy Israeli military facilities.

00:59In some parts of northern Israel, the Hezbollah intercepted rockets.

01:08According to the Lebanese authorities,

01:10more than 500 Hezbollah airstrikes were carried out against Israel, including 50 children.

01:15This is the highest death toll in Lebanon since the last war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.

01:22More than 1,000 were injured.

01:24More than 1,000 were killed.

01:26To this day, Israel and Hezbollah's airstrikes continue.

01:31Different countries have called for the escalation of tensions.

01:35The escalation is extremely dangerous and worrying.

01:39I can say that we are almost in a full-fledged war.

01:44At the moment, the DFA is implementing Alert Level 3 or Voluntary Repatriation

01:49for more than 11,000 Filipinos in Lebanon.

01:52According to the DFA, more than 1,000 Filipinos have already asked the government for help to go home.

01:57But many Filipinos still don't want to leave.

02:00The government is asking the Filipino community in Lebanon if they need mass repatriation.

02:06We are processing more than 1,000 requests for voluntary repatriation.

02:10That's one out of ten so far.

02:13We are calling on the Filipinos to call their own relatives and force them or us to go home.

02:23Not only to Filipinos abroad but also to Filipinos in the country.

02:27The chaos in the Middle East is having an effect,

02:29particularly on the control of inflation or the rapid price of goods.

02:33Our biggest challenge really is external headwinds.

02:36One would be the war in the Middle East.

02:39We don't want that to go out of hand and possibly oil price increases, which we have no control over.

02:46For GMA Integrated News, I'm Ivan Meirinangin, Saksi.

02:56A fireball hit the back of a seaside town in Lebanon following the Israeli airstrike.

03:02According to the Lebanese Health Minister,

03:05569 were injured and almost 2,000 were wounded since the Israeli airstrikes began on Monday.

03:13Israel has expanded its bombing areas.

03:16In this airstrike, the missile launcher directed at Tel Aviv was the target.

03:21The Israelis were able to return from the northern part of Israel due to tensions at the border for almost a year

03:28since the Hezbollah gave support to the Palestinians in the war in Gaza.

03:34The Hezbollah also continued the return of the rocket.

03:40A dashcam captured a vehicle of the rocket strike on a highway in Israel.

03:48According to the Israeli Army, four rockets were dropped on a town in northern Israel.

03:53The Hezbollah said they targeted the headquarters of the Mossad spy agency of Israel in Tel Aviv,

03:59which they used to spy on the back of the explosions of their group's pagers.

04:04It was not signed or denied by Israel.

04:12A warning siren went off in Tel Aviv but there was no sign of it.

04:17The missile that was directed at the town was intercepted.

04:21Pope Francis joined the call to ease tensions.

04:25The situation is not acceptable and the international community should do everything to stop this.

04:32According to the GFA, the Philippines should continue to prepare for the need of mass repatriation to Lebanon.

04:39We are happy because there is no... Thank God, it's a big thank you to God.

04:44There are no Filipinos who were injured in the successive waves of the attack of the Hezbollah in Lebanon,

04:52including this one neighborhood in southern Beirut called Hezbollah Enclave.

04:59For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.

05:03This is the second Israeli bombing in Yemen in two months.

06:38It is the second bombing in Yemen in two months.

06:43The Israeli troops are in Lebanon.

06:46In this video of the Reuters, the Israeli tanks were seen at the border of the two countries.

06:53In Israel, the warning sirens were again sounded

06:56because of the loss of the Hezbollah missiles in the northern part of Israel.

07:01In the next few days, 15 countries are expected to return to the OFWs

07:06that are repatriating from Lebanon.

07:08Again, this is a call for all Filipinos,

07:12not only OFWs but for all Filipinos in Lebanon

07:18to hit the call of government for voluntary repatriation.

07:21Some OFWs in Lebanon are emotional

07:24because they asked for help to return to the Philippines.

07:27According to one OFW,

07:29she has been waiting for a month but there is still no reason given to them.

07:34Their papers are under evaluation because they are undocumented.

07:38How can we update the release of the evaluation?

07:41There is no office, the immigration office is closed.

07:45When will they move if there are people dying here?

07:50The Philippine embassy in Lebanon has not yet announced anything about this.

07:53For GMA Integrated News, Emil Sumangil is your witness.

07:59According to the DFA, if an undocumented worker wants to be repatriated,

08:03it is not something that can be released to the country easily.

08:06The government has been calling for voluntary repatriation in Lebanon for a long time.

08:22A siren sounded following the explosion that hit the Tel Aviv residents in Israel last night.

08:28Missiles that were fired in the air followed.

08:35The air defense system of Israel was damaged.

08:41Rockets were fired at the West Bank as well.

08:46Sirens were sounded until Jerusalem.

08:52While the rockets seemed to be raining,

08:56people were hiding.

08:58Some of them hid in tunnels and shops.

09:02Missiles aimed at Israel were also seen in the Jordan Strip.

09:06The missiles came from Iran.

09:08According to the state news agency of Iran,

09:11three Israeli military bases were targeted.

09:17This is due to the killing of the leaders of the allied groups of Iran,

09:22including the veteran leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

09:26He was also targeted by Iran in their attack on Israel in Lebanon,

09:31where Hezbollah is based,

09:33as well as in Gaza,

09:35where Israel's target is the Hamas,

09:38which is also an ally of Iran.

09:40According to Israel, more than 180 missiles were fired against their country.

09:46Aside from the air defenses of Israel,

09:48the US Navy also fired interceptors.

09:51According to the Pentagon,

09:53no one was injured in Israel,

09:55but a man was injured in the West Bank.

09:58According to Iran, their action is over,

10:01except if Israel makes another attack.

10:05And if that happens, they will do even more.

10:09Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said,

10:13Iran made a mistake and they will pay for it.

10:17According to the Israeli military,

10:19including the regular infantry and armored units,

10:21in the limited ground operations,

10:23which destroyed the tunnels and other infrastructure of Hezbollah on the border.

10:29A few hours after the missile strikes of Iran,

10:33the air strikes of Israel continued,

10:35where they targeted Hezbollah in the southern suburbs of Beirut in Lebanon.

10:41There were also explosions in the town of Tahrir.

10:44Almost 2,000 were killed

10:46and more than 7,000 were injured in Lebanon

10:49since the tension on the border escalated last year.

10:53There was a riot from the war in Gaza

10:57where more than 40,000 were taken hostage.

11:01The tension in Lebanon was witnessed by Filipinos like Glenda.

11:07Oh my God!

11:11The building was really shaking.

11:14The explosion was really shaking.

11:20You will scream because you will be surprised.

11:23That's why I was going down the building.

11:26I was scared.

11:28According to the Department of Migrant Workers,

11:30more than 100 Filipinos are on the list

11:33to be included in the repatriation

11:36or being sent back to the Philippines from Lebanon.

11:39The problem is that the flights are cancelled

11:41because of the exchange of the air strikes and rockets of Israel and Hezbollah.

11:45The Philippine government plans to issue a chartered flight.

11:49Should the air route be impossible

11:52because they can close the airport in Beirut,

11:55we have an alternative.

11:58Our land route is ready to go to Damascus.

12:01The yacht, yes.

12:03We are also talking about maritime vessels.

12:07For GMA Integrated News,

12:09I am JP Soriano, your witness.

12:17A new explosion in the capital of Lebanon, Beirut,

12:20a few days ago.

12:22The mountain of explosions in different parts of the city became clear.

12:26According to Israel, they made a precise air strike in central Beirut.

12:31According to Reuters and other international media,

12:34a house near the Lebanese parliament was targeted,

12:38the nearest Israeli strike that hit the center of Kabisera.

12:42According to Lebanese authorities,

12:44Shamna was killed.

12:46Missiles also hit the southern suburb of Dahiye,

12:50where the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed last week.

12:55Yesterday, Israel said that eight of its soldiers were injured in the battle of southern Lebanon.

13:02This is the largest since the tension in the borders of the two countries

13:06in the middle of the war in Gaza.

13:08Israeli military evacuated the residents of more than 20 towns in southern Lebanon

13:14while their military operation against Hezbollah continues.

13:18According to the Lebanese Health Ministry,

13:2046 were killed and 85 were injured in the Israeli strike in Lebanon within 24 hours.

13:29Other Lebanese evacuated to neighboring countries in Cyprus and Syria,

13:35as well as in Turkey.

13:37According to the Department of Migrant Workers,

13:39the flight that the Filipinos will take home is still canceled.

13:44It is possible that in the coming weeks,

13:47a chartered flight will also be separated that our government is arranging.

13:51For some Filipinos in Israel,

13:53it seems that the smell of the attack of Hamas returned on October 7 of the previous year

13:59when missiles were fired from the area of Tung Martis.

14:18No Filipinos were injured in the attack.

14:20While we are preparing for the missile attack,

14:24there was a shooting.

14:26So we don't know if it's connected, but it almost happened at the same time.

14:32So our countrymen are alert and some of them are already in their safe rooms.

14:41Israel has already announced that it will pay the price for its missile attack.

14:46The Foreign Minister of Israel,

14:48Persona Nangrata, was declared the UN Secretary General

14:52because it did not condemn the missile attack.

14:56This is what the UN Secretary General said in front of the UN Security Council.

15:01I again strongly condemn yesterday's massive missile attack by Iran on Israel.

15:07This deadly cycle of tit-for-tat violence must stop.

15:12Time is running out.

15:14What happened in Israel was not a defensive action of Iran.

15:19It was a calculated attack on a civilian population.

15:24Israel will not stand by in the face of such aggression.

15:30Iran is stubborn. They don't want war.

15:33Iran said earlier that their action is over as long as they don't become the enemy of Israel.

15:40In the current statement of the President of Iran,

15:43they will retaliate if they are attacked.

15:46The only way to prevent further escalation is clear.

15:50Israel must immediately cease its war on Gaza and its attacks on Lebanon must stop.

15:59For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, your witness.

16:10The loud siren that followed the explosion

16:15witnessed by the President of Iran, Israel,

16:20with more than 180 ballistic missiles,

16:26as well as the bomb shelters or MAMAD,

16:29our fellow countrymen working there.

16:41This is how Iran reacted to Israel's attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon.

16:48That is why the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines mentioned

16:52the ground operation of Israel there

16:54when it announced its decision to fight tensions in the Middle East.

16:59The DFA encouraged all parties to avoid fighting violence and action

17:06towards a peaceful solution to the problem.

17:09But the Israeli forces also attacked 20 towns in the eastern part of Lebanon

17:15that were evacuated as soon as possible.

17:18That is the same as their attack on Gaza before it was destroyed by the Israeli Hamas war.

17:24We already have plans in place in various countries that might be affected, including Lebanon.

17:30The DMW are already working very hard to institute their plan

17:36and trying to get arrangements ready for the Filipinos in the area

17:40in case they have to evacuate or be repatriated.

17:46More than 11,000 Filipinos in Lebanon, most of whom are in Beirut.

17:50The center of Bakbakan is in southern Lebanon,

17:53so the Filipinos were already contacted there to go home.

17:56They have already identified where they are

17:58and they have already contacted those whom they can contact in southern Lebanon.

18:03For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.

18:07For 24 Hours.
