people. the iranian for ministry strongly condemned the attack, saying the salt was a clear violation of serious sovereignty and territorial integrity. for ministry spokesmannani said that iranian advisors in syria have a leading role in the fight against terrorism and provide peace and stability in the region. canani said the tehran reserves its right to respond to what he called israel's organized crimes. the palestinian resistance moved hamas also slamed the terrorist act saying such actions by linius regime will never stop the resistance movements from continuing to support the palestinians. the palestinian islamic jihad strongly condemned the attack, saying the salt 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. political commentator ali risk says the israely attack in syria shows the regime is seeking to further escalate the ongoing situation. as israel

officials talk of the third phase of a ska on. israel is appear intent on escalating the situation further, i think netanyahu in particular and i think it's important to note as well that uh when they talk about the third phase, the israelis, the americans and the israelis, but the israelis in particular, i think that what the israelis have in mind for the third phase doesn't only include withdrawing or low intensity conflict in gaza, but at the same time that includes further escalation beyond that particular front to hit other areas and escalate in other areas and - "i believe that there was an assassination just after this operation targeting some palestinian officials, if i'm not mistaken, in south lebanon, so there appears to be, as i said, an israely plan escalate more broadly in the so-called third phase. breaking news, you see the barrier

screen, hazballah has made a statement, one of its members among the victims of the attack, this was a targeted assassination that took place a car in..." on south, so has said that one of his members are among those victims, any new developments on this story will make sure to give to you, such as that one where the death law has risen to four based on the assassination assassinated attack that took place, the targeted assassination, well israely drone strike in southern lebanon that the one that we just have breaking news on has left two people that upgraded to four now in terms of the development down, both of them. were members the palestinian resistance movie with hamas, they were targeted in a car near the city of th. the israeli drone attack came and made strikes by fighters from lebanon's resistance against israeli military positions, response to the ongoing israeli genocidal campaign in the besides gaza strip. 106 days into the

israely war on the gaza strip, the regime continues with this carpet bombing campaign across the beseged palestinian. territory, the gaza health ministry says 165 palestinians have been killed and 280 others wounded in the past 24 hours. the overall death doll from the regime's war has risen to nearly 25, more than 62,00 others have been wounded, and thousands are still under the rubble of their homes. israel keeps bombing residential buildings and refugee camps and areas it had said that would be safe. hospitals are overwhelmed across the besieg territory with people literally waiting. on the floor from medical staff to intervene and save them. the deadly raids are being conducted while the coastal territory is under near total communications blackout imposed by tel aviv. people around the world have held rallies to express solidarity with

the palestinians in the besieg gaza strip. people in the uk city of birmingham are no exception with ralliers calling for immediate end to the us israeli genocide in gaza. for more information on that we are. not joined by our correspondent there saied pureza. said, what do you have for us, what are you seeing out there? what i'm seeing cover is a large crowd of brumies, people in birmingham, who have come together today, of course people have also traveled in from the capital, london and other cities around the uk to be here today, and at the very top of every... b is the demand um is a ceasefire, a preminent ceasefire in the gaza strip, you perhaps can hear the crowd cheering uh right behind me, um, politicians from past and present addressing the crowd, university professors, um, on that stage, talking to the

crowd as we speak, and as they say, the top their demand is a preminent cease fire, followed of course, by an end to... to the decades long military occupation of palestinian by the israeli regime, but they're also calling for is an end to um arming, the arming of the israeli military by the uk. um, as you know, the uk is home to uh multiple um sites that belong to the israeli weapons manufacturer, notably elbit systems, some of which have been um forced to shut down after um activists took direct action against them over the past couple of years, um, but the fact remains that people here are outraged and angry and disappointed, angry and outrage and heartbroken at the sheer scale of the brutality and humanity of the

ongoing unfolding genocide in the gaza strip and disappointed with the political leadership here, both the conservative party that is in power and as well as the other major political party in the uk being labor whose leader kier starmer has joined voices with the prime minister in support. the israel regime in its campaign of death and destruction against the palestinians in the gaza strip and of course the increase in settler violence and incursions in the occupied east jerusalem and and the west bank, and lot of them are telling us that come next general election, which will be happening in the next couple of months, they're not going to be voting for either of those major big political parties here, because as their words they don't represent them that they are doing the bidding of the israeli regime, that their vote is going to

go to some independent candidate, perhaps in the next general election that will decide who will be taking the case to number 10 downing street, and someone who perhaps represents the will of the general british public, and and that's um what you're getting here, and i asked people about the state of... pro-palestine solidarity in the uk and and they tell us that they have no hope that the political leaders will change their position and israeli regime, but for example why by withdrawing of their diplomatic and military support for it, or by simply asking for an end to the bloodshit that has been going on for more than 100 days. um, that's the kind of stuff you're hearing from people, and that the... last hope they have is to band together as they have today and over the past a couple of months since this massacre

started to call for first and foremost for one thing and one thing alone and then that is immediate end to the bloodched in the gaza strip and they are telling us that as long as that is ongoing so will action like this that there will be turning out in huge numbers in cities across the uk to make their voices heard. to tell the palestinians, thousands of miles away from here that they can hear them, that they have their back, that they support them, and they will do whatever they can in their power to put an end to the blutchen and also to help them in the struggle for liberation and and for freedom from years of occupation. in their run up to today's event cover, there was action by number of activists or actionists. as they call themselves um who super glued a branch of the

barkley's bank, it's a multi national uh banking giant um for alleged, it's alleged investments in israeli weapons manufacturers, as i mentioned albert systems is being one of them that has multiple sites uh here in the uk that produces the components for weaponry that is being used um these active. to say in the gaza strip as we speak, to send the message um to both the political leadership and the businesses here, that they have blood on their hands, if they continue to arm and to provide military support to the israeli regime as it continues, taking more palestinian lives and attempts at ethnically cleansing the gaza strip cover, thank you very much for that, we appreciate it say purisa. the're live, thank you. israel's

genocide on the people of palestine in gaza and occupied west bank has cost thousands of lives. it has also caused a massive labor shortage. we're talking, i think here primarily about cross-border workers, that is to say, workers who live in um the west bank and commute to work in israel, that's that's quite a large. economic volume, particularly locally, around 5 and a half billion usd per year. these are some of the factors playing the occupied west bank. so israel sees these, this shortage of workers that they've created shorters of palestinian workers, is only a temporary measure.

welcome back to the news here on press tv. an appalling video has been released showing the aftermath of a summary execution of 15 palestinian men in gaza by israel soldiers. the horrific event took place on december 19 when israeli soldiers rated building in gaza city. according to windows accounts, the israeli soldiers shot. incident has left a permanent scar on their minds. the israely army subsequently shelled the building that killed a three-year-old girl. israel in gaza has continued unabated for more than three months with full support of western governments, especially the us. an outraged israely mother has accused the israeli army

of deliberately gassing her son to death while he was being held in a tunnel in gaza. the mother of ron sherman, one of the soldiers held captive by hamas, said that her son was killed in a premeditated murder by the army. she slamed the cabinet of prime minister benjamin netanyahu as well as israeli military officials. her son's body, alongside two other soldiers, was recovered from a tunnel in gaza in december. the killing follows a pattern of israeli military attacks on captives in gaza that has so far led to the death of dozens of them. iraq's islamic. resistance says that has launched a barrage of missiles at the us run-asad base in western iraq. there have been no immediate reports of casualties. over the past months, iraqi resistance forces have carried out attacks on american bases both in iraq and neighboring syria on an almost daily basis. the pentagon says the bases in iraq and syria have been attacked around 140 times since october 7. iraq's islamic resistance says the

attacks are in response to washington's support for the israeli regime amid the gaza. side muslim salam joins us uh from backdad of corresponded to tell us more about this um can you explain to us about the nature of the attacks where it has taken place and what was targeted? well just about an hour ago the iraq resistance has carried out a large let's say missile attack on ain al-asad western baghdad now the significance of this attack that out of these 57 attack... that was let's say carried out by iraq resistance in the country, this is the largest in number of rockets. now this shows that it's a confirmation to what iraq resistance has promised and has in its statement that will they will intensify their operations as long as the genocidal war is continuous and as long as let's say the international coalition

is present in the country this also it's a proof that let's say "the international coalition forces are not welcomed any let's say face of of being present in the country and it came as the iraqi prime minister himself even stated that the role of international coalition forces is not anymore needed in the country during the world economic firm couple of days ago now this puts the country let's say in a situation where there is only one" solution to this growing conflict, which is the implementing the parliamentary decision from back up like 2020 to see the international coalition forces from the country in order not escalate the situation even even more and where it is like a growing conflict or a continuous conflict between iraqi anti-terror forces and

the international coalition forces. in terms of the injured if there's any... facts you have on that or any stats uh whether there were well initial number said that there is number of casualty not let's say there's nothing specific yet but the attack was was very large when it comes to the number of rockets like i said it's the largest attack on the on the on an american base in iraq ever since the operation has started so let's say there is only one way to go from now the the resistance are intensifying their attack as they promised and it comes to casualties, no one knows yet, since every attack they let's say they put a coordinate or coordination around the the bases like what what's happened with the whole espania center from earlier this week, they don't put out numbers yet, but they say like initial numbers and initial news say that it's it's a very heavy attack on the on the military

base, okay thank you very much for that, muslim sal from baghdad, thank you. yuvana successfully launched a research satellite into orbit as the islamic republic moves ahead with plans to expand the space program. the satellite dupsaraya was placed into orbit at 750 kilometers above the earth's surface. it was aboard launch vehicle belonging to the aerospace division of iran's islamic revolution guard score. the launch vehicle is named 100 which has solid fuel three stage engine. iran's ministry of telecommunications has hailed the launch saying the satellite has said aerospace sector to be able to use satellites for various applications, including for research activities.

the emny army says it is targeted an american ship in the gulf of aiden response to us uk strikes on the arab country. washington and london launched air strikes on yemen last friday response to what they called threats to internet. shipping in the red sea, the move has escalated tensions already high in the region due to israel's war on gaza. the united states has launched a new wave of attacks in yemen, the fresh missile salva was fired from us navy ships, stationed in the red sea and targeted sights that were allegedly prepared to launch attacks. over dozen locations were set to up and hit in the strikes. the amamini saba news agency reported that the areal assaulted. the aggression was accompanied by the presence of surveillance aircraft over the western part of yemen. this aggression will not change

anything in the sense of our people and his spiritual obligation in supporting the palestinian people and the residence of gaza as well as the continuous targeting of ships linked to israel and this is clear in our continuous operations yemy armed forces have said that they will not hesitate to target all sources of threat and arabian and red seats within the country's legitimate right of self-defense. they've also warned that any aggression against yemen by the us or the uk will not go unanswered and unpunished for washington designated answer movement as a terrorist organization. the answer resistance movement has described the us move to redesignate the movements as a terrorist organization as quote a badge of honor. designation of the united states doesn't i mean here in yemen they don't care about that but they are honored uh to to have that realistic. as a terrorist organization because we know and as sayid abdul malik have said united state is just the face of the crime, united states is one of the country that have destroyed, i mean the have

destruction wherever they go, so we are honored to be designated as terrorist because as always they say one man terrorist is another man freedom fighter and for the spokesman mohammed salam added that the move also proves the impact of yemen's anti-israely operations in the... say, as part of their support for palestinians, the emmy arm forces and the popular resistance movement have over the past month targeted several ships owned by the israeli regime or bound for ports and the occupied territories in the strategic red sea after multiple warnings earlier in january, the us along with the uk attacked yemen in a theatrical show of support for the israeli regime. the issue that america and britain have joined the war directly and that we are now in direct confrontation. with the americans, british and israelies does not scare us at all, the aggression towards our country and our people will enhance the development of our military capabilities. this was a brutal

aggression, violation of our sovereignty. i mean, after 10 years of war on the yemani people a siege on land, air and sea, and to add to that, they are targeting us with new aggression. this is new stage of the conflict. what does this reflect? it reflects violation of sovereignty, further injustice towards people. since in november, yemany armed forces have carried out operations against israely linked ships in the red sea. they said the operations are aimed at forcing the israely regime to stop its war on gaza and to allow medicine and food into the territory. the emmy armed forces have also made it clear that the retze operations will continue until those goals are achieved. washington and london have supplied money, weapons and diplomatic cover for design occupation of palestine. they are actively

promoting genocide, ethnic cleansing, racism, partide, pruel, dehumanization and extreme barbarism in occupied palestine. it's obvious who is on the side of genicide, britain, france, canada, the netherlands and others and germany, especially, and on the side of right, on the side. morality is world public opinion, yemeny government, the western hijamonic powers and their zianist alli have faced the disgraceful defeat in gaza in the face of the resilience and steadfastness of hamas and other palestinian resistance groups. germany military has single-handedly posed the biggest threat to the economic functioning of the israeli occupation by forcing it out of the red sea and further promising to stop the movement of ships to the occupite territories if the aggression against gaza continues. response to the yemeny military. actions, the us formed so-called multinational coalition in the red sea under the guise of protecting international trade, which in reality was attempt to protect the status quo and

regional borders that have traditionally been... in the service of western interests. yemeni military's efforts have been noted for being highly sophisticated and precise. the yemani uh attacks have been extraordinarily effective. first of all, shipping costs uh are rising, have risen, insurance for ships is going up. uh, and this will this will only uh get worse, so israel is taking a a pretty significant. economic hit, major shipping companies have had to halt operations in the red sea and to take new longer routes and the u.s. has been scrambling to pressure the saudis to avoid a peace deal with yemen. yemen's retaliatory strikes has also halted all commercial activities in the port de villat in the occupied territories. yemen has in fact set new equation with global consequences and has pushed the us from a position of dominance to one of defense, having to react and succumbed to the resistance demands.

and that is for this additional world news, thanks so much for being with us, i'll be back in just few minutes time to review the top stories for you, let's bye bye for now.

the attempt to weaponize the term genocide against israel in the present context does more than tell the court a grossly distorted story. in urban warfare, civilian casualties may be the unintended but lawful result of attacks on lawfully military objectives. these do not constitute genocidal acts. the rules and

principles of international humanitarian law, under the haik regulations, the geneva conventions of 1949 and customerly international law. these are well developed and applicable and are fully respected by israel. south africa also alleges. that israel has waged assault on gaza's health system, hospitals have not been bombed, rather the idf sent soldiers to search and dismantle military infrastructure.

israel carries out another terror attack in the syrian capital damascus, assassinating number of people, including four irani mil... advisors, the attack targeted a three-story residential building in the city's mesa neighborhood, which houses several diplomatic missions. 106 days into the israely war on the gaza strip, the regime continues with this carpet bombing campaign across the besiest palestinian territory. gaza health ministry says 165 palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours. the overall deaththoll from the regime's war has risen to nearly 25,00.
