a few hours before the celebration of hisbullah's commemoration of the assassination of the iranian quds force commander lieutenant general qasim sulaimani, zionists israel decided to break the rules of engagement with lebanon and crossed the red line set by hisbullah secretary general sayid hasan nasrullah several months ago. israeli occupation carried out an airstrike targeting the deputy head of the political bureau of hamas sheikh salih in the southern suburbs of beirut. the crime has opened doors to pathways that seem different from the prevailing ones now, politically, militarily and security wise, especially since hisbullah declared in its condolences statement for al-arori that the crime will not pass without a response and punishment, and indeed it did not. his schuma announced the targeting of

mororon air surveillance base in northern occupied palestine on the early morning of saturday january 6th by launching 62 rockets. in a statement, the lebanese islamic resistance hisbullah said that the missile barrage is just the initial response to the assassination of hamas political bureau deputy leader sheikh salih in the southern suburb of the lebanese capital beirot who was targeted by zionist israel earlier last week on tuesday january 2. the missile. attack came day after hizbullah secretary general sayid hasan nasrullah stated that the resistance must avenge the assassination of sheikh salih. said nasrullah warned that if hisbullah does not retaliate for alarori's assassination in beirut, all of lebanon will be vulnerable to israeli entity attacks. the maroone air surveillance base is located at up mount hermon and northern occupied palestine being the highest peak in the occupied territories. the bay serves as the soul center for administration. surveillance

and air control in the north with no primary alternative. it is one of the two main bases in the entire israeli occupation territories with the other being mitsperamon to the south. hesbolah also indicated that this base is responsible for organizing, coordinating and managing all aerial operations towards syria, lebanon, turkey, cyprus and the northern part of the east mediterranean basing. it constitutes a central hub for electronic interference operation. in the mentioned directions with significant number of elite zionist officers and soldiers operating at this base. what distinguishes these intensive rockets launched by hisbullah is their targeting towards a specific geographical location. this strategy increases the difficulty for the adversary, especially in a defensive context. you see focusing a small area makes it challenging to counteract effectively. and all that damage was merely initial response, as hisbullah declared, says zinist. israel now sits and
9:05 pm
awaits hisbollah's retaliation against the former crossing the red line of targeting the lebanese capital bayrut. welcome to the medi stream amor osman. there is no doubt that the assassination by the israeli occupation of the second ranking figure in the hamas movement sheikh salh. in the southern suburbs of beirut, and in addition to being a terrorist attack is pivotal point in the course of the war that has been going on for the past three months in gaza, palestine and the region as a whole. this act may elevate this war to new level that is not easily anticipated or precisely defined. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is mr. rudhwan murtadha, investigative journalist at the al-akhbar, the cradle and almahatta. it's a pleasure having you, mr. murtadha with us now. how was zionist israel
9:06 pm
capable of assassinating the deputy head of hamas, the second in ranking in the political bureau of hamas, sheikh salih in the most secure area in the southern suburbs of the capital, the security war between the israeli occupation entity and the islamic resistance in lebanon is ongoing, the assassination of a blatant violation of red lines, unlike previous incidents. since 2006, the equation of the turrance remained clear until's assassination with only two prior breaches by the israeli entity. the recent assassination differs significantly from previous cases, indicating new front with lebanon. israel utilized its intelligence capabilities, technological advancements and vast network of agents to breach leban's security. 2019,
9:07 pm
lebanese security forces have uncovered around 300 agents recruited by israeli intelligence. exploiting lebanon's economic crisis, israel posed as hiring companies, gathering cvs. and recruiting individuals to survel bay route southern suburbs, capturing key locations. this information, combined with technological advancements like mobile phone monitoring, enabled the israeli occupation to carry out the assassination in beyrut's southern suburbs. وتعرض لتهديد مباشر قبل. having the ability to destroy the entire building, zionist israel executed a targeted operation. using six missiles, killing sheikh saleh and two leaders of the qassam brigades, along with others. netanyahu's advisor immediately stated the operation targeted hamas, not hisballah or the lebanese state, as israel just executed its prior threats.
9:08 pm
had been on the israeli entities assassination list, taking security measures, but the recent attack violated all red lines, these six missiles were dropped how from an f-16, for example, what are what is the weapon and how was it dropped? this type of missile is laser guided smart missile, allowing the israeli entity remote control up to 100 km. lebanese investigators gathered
9:09 pm
data and forensic evidence at the targeted location which revealed that six missiles were directed at sheikh alarari's office, four missiles exploded while two did not. one missile penetrated all the ceilings, reaching an underground parking space and was confiscated by the lebanese army, and the second was confiscated by the resistance for analysis. these missiles can reach and penetrate the designated target. meaning the israeli entity can guide them to the intended destination before they nation. unlike typical missiles, they don't explode upon surface contact but penetrate multiple lays, including reinforce. concrete before exploding at the predetermined location, known to the israeli entity intel with prior information about location, well um, i wanted to talk more about uh how the retaliation of the resistance was in lebanon, but sadly on
9:10 pm
monday afternoon we heard news coming out from south lebanon that another assassination happened in village in south lebanon, targeting supposedly very high ranking of the information available about the assassination operation carried out by the israeli entities air force targeting a car of a resistance leader indicated that the murder is a prominent figure in the islamic resistance in lebanon known as also known as jawad. he held responsibilities within various centers, initially serving as a commander inside syria, leading infantry operations. for the resistance later he assumed command of military operations in the southern region of lebanon within the unit overseeing these activities. hajjad led field military operations related to attacks against israeli occupation centers. his movements were monitored and he was targeted in a calculated
9:11 pm
manner. he's the first resistance leader to be targeted as israeli entity sources initially reported the assassination of a highly important and unusual figure in southern lebanon. later revealed. hajwad, born in 1975. he played a crucial role in military operations, targeting israeli occupation forces, since the beginning of the israeli occupation war on lebanon during tufan al-aqsa on october 7. he held a high position overseeing these operations and has now been targeted by zionist israel. you think in less than a minute, this is escalation by the zionist entity that might lead to further violence on the border between lebanon and palestine. "the escalation on the southern front between the resistance in lebanon and the israeli occupation is evident and clear. if you observe the trajectory of the war in the south, you can see that the escalation is significant and apparent. this indicates that zionist israel is uneasy in gaza and is
9:12 pm
searching for targets outside gaza and victories it can achieve. the escalation began effectively with the assassination of the iranian revolutionary guard core leader mr. radi al musawi in the..." events extending to the targeting of field commanders and the destruction of their homes, not just limited to a specific geographical area. over the past few days, the targeting of house in the town of and the town of jipsit shows that the scope of the war with the israeli occupation is expanding and the types of missiles and weapons used by the occupation are broadening, mhm, well, it seems that this is going to be very, very interesting week between lebanon and occupied
9:13 pm
uh palestinian territories, i want to thank you very much from beirot, mr. radhwan murtadha, investigative journalist at al-akbar, the cradle and almahatta for your kind contribution to our show. thank you very much, ladies and gents, please stay tuned, because next we are going to talk about the israeli threats and to be frank, the uh foly of an israeli charade in south lebanon. and the gaza's trip without officially announcing it, the israeli occupation army has effectively entered the third. stage of the conflict, which involves a gradual reduction in the size of forces and focus on
9:14 pm
active arenas. as for lebanon, the circumstances are complex to no less extent, and they may worsen, not because hizbullah and hamas will seek revenge for the death and martterdom of sheikh of sheikh saleh al-arori, but because zionist israel finds itself in a delicate situation that might push it towards a broader military operation if political efforts do not mature. more details in this following report. it seems that the us envoy amos hawksteen, very recently visited tel aviv, is hesitant to come to lebanon unless he has a clear vision that can convince the lebanese. hawksteen understands that his presence would be futile in light of the functional collaboration between the united states of america and the zienist entity whose army failed to achieve any of the goals of the genocidal war against the palestinian people. and thus eliminate the palestinian cause. in the meantime, observers were able to trace back the new
9:15 pm
confusion in the us administration to the fundamental speech of hisbullah secretary general sayid hasan nasrullah on the anniversary of the assassination of the revolutionary leaders, martur leutenant general qasim sulaimani and abu mahdi al-muhandis. the speech clearly stated, if zionist israel wages war on lebanon, then our fight will be limitless, boundless, ruleless and unstrained. failed in his tel aviv trip to push forward a political agreement to end the fighting in the north. the us secretary of state will try again soon too. however, the source of the crisis in the north lies in the initial stage of the war that occurred following operation. after hizballah started launching rockets and anti-tank shells, scientis israel decided to evacuate residence from settlements located within a distance of 3.5 km from the border. israeli occupation soldiers entered the settlements instead of
9:16 pm
the illegal colonial settlers and since then, hisballah has been firing at them daily causing a significant number of casualties. the directives from the home front command regarding the evacuation also included the settlement of kiriyat schmona where more than 60,00 people have left their homes, some from more distant settlements without state instructions. the zinist regime leadership had pledged an earlier stage to work towards changing the situation, possibly committing themselves without ruling out a military operation. the current exchange of fire may continue for several months during which american-french efforts will aim to reach a political agreement. however, the likelihood of success is low, so there is a possibility that zianist israel will also prepare for a military operation after the resumption of diplomatic communications. this is even before considering the possibility that a strong hizbullah response to the assassination of sheikh salih will lead. to real escalation afterward in addition to the promise of avenging the assassination and the
9:17 pm
targeting of bayrut, there is also sayid conditional warning, if zionist israel launches a comprehensive war, hizbullah will remove all constraints, that sents shivers down the spine of zionist warmongering leaders. now to disc this very important issue with us from south lebanon is brigadier general dr. amien university, instructor and researcher after his retirement from service with the lebanese army. thank you very much for being with us, now hisbullah sent 62 missiles to one of the largest scionist military bases in northern occupied palestine, which is the morone air surveillance base as a primary retaliation for the assassination of sheikh saleh aluri last week in beirot, what makes this intensive rocket retaliation and that specific geographic situation or geographic
9:18 pm
location so very important and unique this time. the islamic resistance in lebanon used its missiles a target chosen with adherance to control the regulated rules of war. regarding the missiles themselves, the resistance opted for a diversified composition to ensure precision in hitting the target. therefore, guided missiles were included to evade the zionist iron dome. the resistance intensified the number of missiles to 62, believing that the iron dome. intercepting approximately 35% of the missiles should allow the remaining 40 missiles to reach the target. however, the iron dome failed to intercept the missiles. as for the third aspect, the resistance chose missiles with destructive capabilities to ensure reaching the target and causing the desired damage, achieving success in this
9:19 pm
regard. concerning the target itself, the resistance selected a strategically complex. its functions extends beyond the field it is in, reaching from northern occupied palestine to the entire region of west asia, including lebanon, iraq, syria, and stretching to turkey and the northeastern mediterranean. therefore, this target is considered one of the strategic objectives distinct from the operational objectives that occupied the resistance for the past three months. hence the choice of the target and its handling is considered creative and well executed. had still has according to his claims a secondary retaliatory attack aimed at zinist israel uh after the enemy broke one of the deterrant equations by targeting the lebanese capital beirut while assassinating sheikhuri. in your
9:20 pm
expert opinion as a military man, what would such a retaliation look like and uh when would it be done and do you think that zianist israel will just take, bite the bullet and take that hit or will it retaliate? in the first point, hizbullah carried out the action and termed it as initial response. the initial response will be followed by gathering data and information then assessing the situation. if hizbullah determines that the action served its purpose. it will suffice with what it has done, otherwise it will choose another target to pursue its goals, aiming to restore the deterrance equation, punish the israeli enemy and avenge the blood of marters. therefore, the matter hinges on the assessment of the situation. as for the results and the possibility of heading towards war, if the decision was solely in the hands of netanyahu, considering the current reality,
9:21 pm
we might say that war would break out tomorrow, because netanyahu's interest lies in. and the lebanese front, but one of the most well dr. i know we're talking about lebanon important uh escalatory situations that happened in west asia was the frontline in iraq as well, not only in lebanon, by attacking uh the uh us occupation forces both in iraq and syria and it seems that the scene in iraq is just gaining momentum just as the
9:22 pm
scene in lebanon as well, how do you think that will translate on the ground with the us occupation uh forces? just as israel is sending also its secretary of state to try and find some sort of solution in gaza at the same time. the dynamics on folding in the iraqi front are associated with two factors: the first factor is its distance from the main front established in gaza and its lack of direct connection to palestinian territory. the second and more crucial matter is this front relationship with objectives, which is to exterd pressure on the americans. the united states is diligently working to media block this front because its activation is not in america's interest. especially since this front seriously addresses the issue of the us occupation in syria and iraq. mobilizing this front would energize the liberation process in these regions.
9:23 pm
currently in iraq there is official and popular movement calling for an end to the international coalition's presence in iraq and the withdrawal of their forces in any capacity or under any pretext. this disturbs the us and challenges many cards it tried to. therefore we see that the us is trying on one hand to prevent the expansion of the war to avoid stirring attention to its occupying presence and on the other hand to conceal operations targeting it to avoid discussing this presence. however, i believe that the us's hand has been overtaken and now the issue of the american occupation in syria and... iraq is being seriously addressed and will continue to be raised until a comprehensive solution is found through liberation. we can end off with beirot again
9:24 pm
with lebanon and the situation in less than a minute if you can please. do you think that this deescalation might happen with the efforts right now by the us to try to to deescalate because of their own situation and their own quagmier, but zionist israel is still assassinating leaders in south lebanon just as happened on monday. i believe that the main war initiated by zionist israel against the gaza strip which attracted supporting fronts has reached its final stage. it has now turned into a war of attrition initiated by zionist israel with us support and embrace to by time to find political solutions. i think we are facing two to three weeks in the path of searching. for political solutions, the widespread explosion, decisive war, control and subjugation have all become things of the past, and zionist israel has suffered two
9:25 pm
defeats: the original defeat in the october 7th al-aqsa flood operation and the recent defeat in the gaza strip. the united states failed to hold the winning cards, but it is now attempting to compensate for this failure by trying to regain control of the situation. however, i believe that... ultimately zionist israel will yield to the american decision and cease the war. well, brigadier general dr. amin, university instructor and researcher and retired army general from the services of the lebanese army. thank you very much for your kind contribution to our show and your explanation of what the zionist israeli enemy is trying to do and not will uh be able capable to actually perform on the front between lebanon and occupied palestine. thank you very much for being with us, ladies and gents, thank you for watching, please do follow us on twitter x and on telegram and do follow us next week for more updates from right here in west asia on press tv's the
