This is CBS I on the world with John Bachelor.

Here's John Bachelor.

That is McCarer, my colleague and Here's John Batchelor.

That is McCutter, my colleague and co-host of American greatness, and we're very pleased to welcome Malcolm Honeline

Conference of President's major American Jewish organizations who can update us on the war fighting in and around Israel.

We begin with Iran that is?

Yes, Malcolm's the Iran disinformation messaging machine continues to churn threats, mischaracterizations of kinetic activity. What can you tell us?

Absolutely, I have descriptions. activity what can you tell us? It's absolutely an apt description so it's good to be with both of you especially after this very

eventful weekend and to try to clarify a lot of the misinformation that has been circulating everywhere.

So to start, because Balak clearly was planning a massive attack targeting Tel Aviv and the areas where Israel's

intelligence agencies military and others are headquartered near Tel Aviv.

They had primed thousands of rockets, certainly hundreds that were ready to be launched at any one time, but thousands in preparation.

And Israel moved preemptively and at some points there were 100 planes in the air, to prevent the attack, and they took out hundreds of launching pads that were primed already, many of them.

That was to be an hour-long attack against Israel, as it is they fired several hundred missiles and on ongoing basis have been

firing every day. Dozens and dozens of rockets at civilian population areas in Israel. So Israel's military

hits thousands of these launchers and 40 locations in Lebanon with the jets that I mentioned and it was meant to preempt a strike

because had they in fact carried out that strike you would have had an all-out

war with no holds barred as As it is, we still have the threat of further

retaliation by Lebanon, although they claim, and this is quite humorous if it weren't so sad that they victoriously launched 300 missiles.

It's being carried in the Iranian press as a great success against Israel's military infrastructure when in fact none of this is true and they did not get near Gouli Lott and the other sites that they were targeting.

They did hit a chicken coop and now around the Arab world it's become a mockery of the

Hezbollah where they show them having killed an angry roosters because of the chickens that were killed
