correspondent in ramalal joined us earlier with more details. the israeli. forces storm palestinian areas a daily basis. this morning the israelis had arrested at least 15 palestinians from across the occupied west bank. the majority of those palestinians were detained in chenene and as well as al khalil in the village of aliban al garbi north ramallah and the majority of those had been arrested by the israeli forces were former prisoners, even of those palestinian. prisoners and former prisoners finished their sentences and they were released several years ago, however we have been noticing that the israeli forces were immediately storming the houses of of ex- palestinian prisoners and arresting them as well as family members

of palestinian prisoners who are still incarcerated in israeli jails. as you have mentioned the israeli forces, the israeli sittlers excuse me, had the storm the al-aqsa mass complex today, over 100 israeli sitlers storm the al-aqsa mass pimplex as well as they were celebrate. riting one of their jewish holidays known as therem or in the as the jews know them as the secott feast, of course we are speaking about over 100 israeli siters protected and supported by the israeli forces at the same time the palestinian muslims are not allowed to enter al quds or al-aqsa west bank residents are completely denied access. to al-aqsa or entering al-quds uh only on fridays with women above the age

of 50 and men above the age of 55 and after getting israeli issued permit. moving on, lebanon's resistance movement, hazballah has been engaged with fighting with the israeli regime on lebanon's southern border since the onset of the war on the gaza strip early october. hazbolah says. that aims to support palestinian resistance fighters battling israeli forces in gaza. in the latest development, hazbollah has launched several rockets at israeli positions in the occupied golden heights. our correspondent mariam salish joined us earlier from bayrut to give us more details: the israelies go beyond the scope of the uh the rules of engagement or the limited geography. scope which hezbulah has drawn from the beginning of the confrontation, we notice that hazbolah

directly retaliates uh by using uh katusha rockets by using longer range rockets or issues that or a bigger number of rockets if you may say on areas that are further away uh from the border uh with lebanon and so we we noticed how there were 60 rockets that reach the settlement of yawaf and specifically the baracks in in the golan heights and here in in kila specifically ha mentioned in their statements that that rocket attack specifically coincideduh with a training session and exercise for the elite forces, the the golani elite forces of the israelis and they also mentioned in the statements that they had just returned from gaza and therefore they were conducting an exercise, so that in itself is it clear message from hazballah to the israelies that hazballah does have the intel they need in order to no the movement of the israelis, they are able to know which unit came back from gaza, which

what exactly they were doing in that area, and so also seemed to mention that perhaps there could be inflicted, they might have inflicted heavy losses upon that uh force specifically, but also that tells the israelis that in any future confrontation, the israelies have always thought that they are superior when it comes to intelligence and with the fact that they do have the upper hand with their air force and so on and their many radars and their intelligence units and their drones, but hazbullah is also telling the israelis that they can also deal a very heavy blow on the intelligence in that regard as well, so therefore this in itself is very significant not only militarily, but also when it comes to the intelligence uh factor. calls for an end to the genocide and... have once again wrong out in a number of cities around the world, people in the jordanian

capital have hit to the streets to voice their support for palestinians. more than 2,0 demonstrators gathered near the israeli embassy and aman to condemn the regime's atrocities against palestinians, but jordanian police clamped down on the rally, firing tear gas and the protesters and detaining some of them. there were fresh pro-palestinian rallies in several iranian cities as well. protesters in the capital tehran gathered in front of the british embassy to vent their anger at the ongoing genocidal war in gaza. the protesters chat. slogans against israel, britain and the us, several other locations in tehran were the

address the men as they were attempting escape to ukraine. president vladimir putin has plaid to bring the perpetrators to book, earlier kyev rejected the notion that it was involved in the incident that took place at a crowded corka city hall. the attackers also set the venue a blaze that caused the roof of the hall to collapse. russian authorities have confirmed 137 deaths and more than 180 injuries as the result of this attack. russian president vladimir putin addressed the nation after the deadly attack in moscow, which killed dozens of civilians. the president denounced the massacre as a bloody and barbaric terrorist attack, as he declared march 24, national day of morning. at least 11 suspects, including four perpetrators who directly participated in the shooting spree

allegedly his assistant contacted the man. the perpetrators are ignorant illiterate. people who will commit any crime for money? the question is different: where is the planning center? not a single international organization can act in the international arena, especially in a state like russia, where there are strong power structures, performance can be found anywhere through the agents. we went through this experience in chechnia, this once again convinces us that international terrorist structures are the work of the cia and western intelligence services. the attack which came a mid ukraine's war. with russia was the deadlest in the country since the bisland school siege in 2004. after friday's attack, putin held discussion with his belarussian counterpart aleksander lukashenko. both leaders confirmed their readiness to walk together in the fight against terrorism. in his address, president putin said moscow attackers were preparing to flee towards ukraine where a window had been

prepared for them with the help of ukraine. now it remains to be seen how russia is going to react to the massacre. which came in a very volatile region and demit its war against ukraine. marina kartunova, press tv, moscow. on the 25th anniversary of the nato bombing of serbia, people have gathered in the austrian capital to commemorate the victims of the aggression by the military alliance against the balkan nation. protesters in viena chanted slogans against the continued nato expansion and medling in eastern europe. they also expressed their anger at the militarization of the eu as well as the nato support for israeli genocidal war on gaza. protesters held banners a reading stop nato. aggression and death to imperialism, freedom for the people. march, 1999, the western military alliance launched a 78-day aerial campaign against the federal

ilahabad high court, this judgement is unfortunate, we respect the court decision, but we oppose it. our constitution allows us to have such schools to teach islamic values to future generations. if this is against secularism, why it was made in the first place? every citizen can read, write, promote or propagate their religion, that what our constitution says: madrasa's instant closure is a blow to livelihood of thousands of families. in january, the government of uttar pradesh state holted a funding program for madrasas, leaving more than 20,000 teachers unemployed. scholars say friday's verdict applies to all islamic schools in the state that are privately and government funded. in recent months, india's northeastern state of assam converted hundreds of madrasas. into conventional schools, all the laws and all the all the things which are bjp is enacting or bjp is targeting the muslim community,

definitely they think that the if they want to rule the country so they can rule the country when they can demonize muslim community, they can suppress muslim community, they can they can they can make them wetless at the time of election, so all these efforts are taking place because of the... rss background, rss agenda of the present ruling party. in recent months, modi's government turned down new proposals from the states and halted payments to schemes that would finance muslim schools. critics say this amounts to snatching the livelihood of thousands of families instantly, while they have other means of earning. india will hold general elections in few weeks time, and the bjp's victory is eminent according to observers, actually. and rights groups have accused the governing party of promoting anti-islamic rhetoric in a deliberate attempt to appease the majority voters by polarizing the voters there. for

using divide and rule policy to win the elections. rights groups have accused the bjp government of persecuting and intimidating muslims through all possible means. the acquisition bjp rejects saying india is vibrant democracy enshrined in equality for all. critics accused the ruling party of systematic repression against the largest minority group, including hate crimes, mob lynching and cow viigilantism, and rising islamophobia. observers say such issues pave the way for prime minister modi to remain in office for a third consecutive term. press tv, new delhi. that brings us to the end of this edition of world news on press tv. thank you for watching. stay tuned, i'll be right back in half an hour with some more updates.
