7:30 am at iran's capital tehran. this is press tv news. thanks for joining us. the israel regime launched a fresh attack on saturday against syria, hitting a building within a residential area in the capital damascus, where iranian military advisors and syrian citizens were residing. more details from our correspondent damascus, ibrahim wahdi. once again, the israeli regime launched aerial attack against syria, targeting a residential area in the syrian. capital damascus several syrian troops and at least five iranian military advisers were martered, according to an irgc statement. of military experts say that these acts are clear evidence of israel's failure in gaza. the repeated attacks by the zionist entity on residential areas indicates that this entity is internally troubled due to its failure to control the gaza strip. therefore, the occupation regime is attempting to export its crises to the region and drag it into.

today's aggression on the capital, damascus and the targeting of iranian figures violates international laws and norms because they are present in syria at the official request of the sovereign syrian government. it is within the rights of the syrian government to seek the assistance of advisers to combat terrorism just like any other country in the world. at least seven bodies were retrieved from under the rubble of the three-story residential building which was within a street full of diplomatic missions. syrian civilians, political figures and popular media have all denounced this criminal aggression that demonstrates the savage nature of the zionist regime. they said that such terrorist acts would not intimidate the resistance front. this is very ugly, worse of than you can imagine. i live here nearby. i heard huge explosions in my neighbor's building. a lot of glass was broken, vehicles were destroyed, and when i went outside to see what... happened, i found a three-story

building completely destroyed. this has frightened all the residents in this street. children were crying in fear and women were screaming. my neighbor is sick and didn't know what to do. israelis have failed in gaza, so they have gone crazy and are firing in any direction to make it clear that they are present, but they will not succeed because the access of resistance is resilient. i was less than 100 meters away when the explosion occurred. may god bless the souls. the marters. late last month, the israeli regime assassinated a senior iranian advisor, general sayid rasi musavi in a missile strike that targeted his house in the vicinity of saida zenab shrin south of damascus. the israeli regime is trying to intimidate the peoples of the region and is pushing escalation through assassinations and terrorist attacks in the region, but people insist that they will never be afraid of the apartide regime. ibrahim wahdi, press tv, damascus. reactions are pouring in following

an israeli air strike in syria that led to the martidom of several people. iran has strongly condemned the attacks as a clear violation of syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity. for ministry spokesman nasar khanani said iran reserves the right to respond to israel's organized terrorism, which proves the profound ties between the regime and various terrorist groups in the region, including daesh. iran's president raisi has also condemned the attack saying that the islamic republic will not leave israel's crime unanswered, the palestinian resistance hamas also slamed the terrorist act saying such actions by the zionist regime will never stop the resistance movements from of continuing to support the palestinian people. the palestinian islamic jihad strongly condemned the attack saying the assault was part of israel's efforts to make up for its defeat. it also said the regime is seeking to expand the gaza onslot to the entire region. former cia analist ray mcgovern says israel's. trying to drag the us to be

directly and completely involved in his genocidal war in gaza and a broader conflict in the region. what israel is lost. after is reason to draw the united states in big time militarily, that's what this is all about, so your president h has already said this attack will not go unanswered, we can understand that, five revolutionary guards officers killed, we can understand that, the question is, how will iran answer this? and israel and the neocons running washington would like nothing more than to have the kind of attack that they can blame on iran to widen the war, less thought here, if the iranians can keep

being rather circumspect and avoid giving that kind of pretext to the us and to israel. then in my view israel is quite capable of doing it for iran. in other words, i would look for false flag attack lamed on iran to drag to mouse trap the united states in with both feet detract detract attention from the the losing cause in gaza and finally give the neocons their their reason. in israely drone strike in southern lebanon has left four people dead. one of the victims was member of hisbullah resistance movement. the strike targeted a car near the city of tar. this drone attack came and made strikes by fighters from lebanon's resistance movement hesbollah against israely military positions

response to israel's ongoing genocidal campaign in the besieg gaza strep. our lebanon correspondent mariam earlier joined us to give us her account of the situation in southern. on uh we do have an official statement from hizballah saying that ali hudrush has passed away and he was one of the members of hazbullah he actually just recently actually debated his thesis and his phd and so this is very someone who was well known in his town in his hometown in berori which is where the attack took place uh and he was of course uh it was basically a shock for many people he is someone who is more civilian than he is a military, but he is still a member of hizbullah. of course, this comes also a time when hizbollah has continued with its resistance operations, and we can see today that the operations, all of the if not all, most of them have been those of targeting soldiers, we have it seems to

surpassed the phase when they're only targeting posts or devices, here now we're talking about the fact that it seems to be now a confrontation one targets soldiers directly and the israelis are targeting members of the resistance and even civilians in some cases um even if they were with the the members of hizballah in south lebanon uh but we we do know that hazballah even in one instance for example used rockets directly at soldiers in near the barracks of hunin but we also have inzarid and daira where hazballah said in statements that they targeted soldiers. and so therefore there could there's definitely high number of losses and casualties among the israelies as well, the israeli shelling of course it has not today is not uh stopped at all, we have huge number of of shelling and examples we have from tanks for example, 107 days into this really

war in the gaza strip, the regime continues with a steadly carpet bombing campaign across the besieg palestinian territory, according to new report published by the independent human rights watch group, euromet monitor, israel has killed nearly 100 university professors along with hundreds of teachers. israel has destroyed literally every university in the gaza strip and has targeted schools that had become shelters for displaced palestinians. hundreds of palestinian lives are lost to the indiscriminate strikes every day. the israel on gaza has so far left nearly 25,00 people dead, most of them women and children. more than 62 thousand palestinians. have also been wounded. author and journalist robert fintina believes israel's targeting of palestinian educational centers is attempt to eliminate the nation's history and culture as part of the regime's genocidal campaign. israel wants

to eliminate all of god of palestine's cultural heritage, all of its educational abilities and opportunities. these are not accidental bombings, these are are targeted. and with a purpose and the purpose is part of genocide which is to destroy everything about palestine, their their history, their culture, the their thousand year old... a background, it wants to destroy everything, this is this is intentional, and this is why one of the many reasons why the that israel has been brought to the international court of justice to to finally be held accountable for these crimes, we'll see what the international court says hopefully in the next couple of weeks, but these things are blatant violations of international law, they are blatant uh war crimes and there are blatant aspects of genocide, and this is what israel is involved in doing, and it's savagery and the people of gaza are suffering horribly because of it and will for decades

in the future because of israel's actions today. the em's prime minister says the us and the uk as creators of the science entity in west asia seek to protect it by all means possible and destroy any group or country that stands against it. abdul aziz bin hubtur was speaking an exclusive interview with press tv to elaborate on yemen's recent anti-israely operations. the support of gaza and the western attacks on yemen. he said the u.s. and britain are not aggressive against yemen alone, but against all of humanity, and especially any country that may seek liberation from western colonialism. the amany prime minister said his country started anti-israel operations in the red sea after arab regimes shunt their responsibility to protect the people of gaza. ben harbor, haptur, that is, said, yemen's enemies try to distort the reality by claiming that yemen is a threat to the world. so that this will not discourage sana and it will continue with anti-israel operations until the aggression

and blockade on gaza stops. i am edward said. i was born in 1935 into a christian family. most of my family left jerusalem because they had to, and it was an area that fell to the hagana in i think february of 1948. "the idea of being a fugitive is just like being affected by leprosy, all palestinians feel the same sense of exile. it's a charge which created outrage when it was first raised, i think un, they tried to dub as racist thing, but you see, unfortunately, i think there is something in it. so for him, the writing of orientalism was actually shaped by his engagement with the question of palestine." our homeland was lost in history and right in front of people's eyes. welcome back to the

news here on press tv. pro palestine rallies have been held in various cities across the world. in some cases the demos turned violence, the security forces trying to disperse the protesters. the global outrage against israel regime's crimes in gaza have even spread. israelis, mainstream media, however, rarely covers israeli protests against the war in gaza. in

that they get noticed, and this is desperations, and in a one way it's showing the great crisis that... we face in this country, that when the public wants the government to call for a cease fire, yet our politicians are not listening to the majority the british public. britain's support for apartide israel takes many shapes. visiting tel aviv in mid-october last year, british prime minister rishi sunak stood next to his israeli counterpart benjamin netanyahu and said this. as your friend, we will stand with you in solidarity, we will stand with your people, and we also want you to win. prime minister, whatever a win might look like for apartied israel, sunak's conservative party and the opposition labor party, whose leader kier starmer has also backed netanyahu's war, have both lost voters like karen, a lawyer. i feel like we've been massively let down by all governments, all parties across the board, and i've completely lost all faith in

all of them. one group that say the uk position on the us is... genocide in gaza has completely alienated them, are british muslims who constitute nearly 7% of the population. we feel that the people that we have elected to represent us in the corridors of power have become a bunch of yes men, they are saying yes sir, yes sir, three bags, maybe because they are afraid to lose their careers, this is how bad it's become, disappointed with the government and the political establishment, it is in the streets of britain where people see the future. of pro- palestine solidarity in the uk, as they hope for peace that couldn't come a minute too soon. said press tv, birmingham. people throughout pakistan are increasingly joining a campaign to boy and american products, response to the ongoing attacks on the besieg gaza strip. as part of that movement, an
