this has ended um and so i think that when we look at the statement we can see the significance about that, but now is definitely a wait and see situation indeed, well the the news is coming through uh we can't confirm it yet uh mohammed ubed about the targets that were the main targets aside from the 11 military bases that were targeted and um it concerns what i'm looking at over in here to be masad shabak and the aman headquarters in tel aviv, this is not confirmed uh again i'm saying this is not confirmed but news is... indicating that those were the intended uh main targets of hezbollah we have to wait and say uh as the news comes in, i'm sure mariam sol will be the first one to tell us that, but when you when you take a look at uh this phase at this point for the initial first phase to be to be over, are we are we looking any impact that this is going to have when it comes to either the ceasefire talks or the genocidal war that's being executed on the ground there in the gaza strip or they is this separate matter all together because his has said this

retaliation was due to the targeted assassination of the military commander sugar? well, even if it was over for hizbullah, it's not over for the israelis, because don't forget that you still have the yemeny retaliation, you still have the islamic republic retaliation, which has both sides have and... underlined that it is going to take place for sure. now for hizballah to say it's a primary part of the retaliation, well it's important as you mentioned, think earlier that this is part of the psychological warfare, plus if you take into account that probably if this attack was not that... bring the the the outcome that they

planned or something, then you would have of always sort of plan b in order to launch another attack, for the as for the impact on the talks or the negotiations as for the cease fire and the stopping of the genocidal war in gaza, i don't think it would have any impact because it is basically... being aborted all the time by netanyahu and this is being criticized by the israeli press by even some members of the israeli negotiating team that they understand that it is netanyahu that is hindering any attempt to move forward in the talks to reach sease fire and the swap of prisoners between the palestinians. and

the israeli occupation, i think the the weight was part of the punishment, i think of and part of the revenge, i mean the delay of the retaliation, because if you follow up the israeli press and the israeli situation, even some reports were saying that this weight is killing us, many of the israelis are living on pills. right now because of their nerves are not are not able to take it anymore, this weight for the attack to take place, which is sometimes even more difficult than the attack itself when it takes place, so in general to a say it once again, the situation in israel is not over because they are not willing to stop the the... genocide against the gaza people

and second because of their divisions also and the the mul the multiple opinions that they you have in this society which is made of of of lot of different parties and you may say also races uh they who have different ideologies who have come from different backgrounds. and therefore they cannot agree on one thing, but unfortunately they agree on occupying the land of the palestinian people and and and expelling the palestinian people from their homeland. all right, we have our course one from the gaza strip joining us now, mu joins us from bala, we have him in order to give us some of the ongoing developments there in the gaza strip, good morning, what do you have for us? do you have

my voice? "it doesn't look like muti has our audio, we do have his visual, but not his voice. okay, do you have my voice? okay, okay, uh, generally speaking, let's be clear that this retaliatory attack comes against the back job of the ongoing uh, as you know uh, the normal context of the of the libanies reaction to the ongoing and none stop israel attacks and violations targeting libanon, we are to..." about continuous as you violations and air strikes targeting the residential buildings and the residential squares in lebanon uh therefore the lebes and hisbullah actually has the ultimate and the genuine right to respond to those attacks and uh as you know at the same time the israel incubation forces are relying on targeting

more residential squares and analyving more palestinian and lebanese people the resistance of france basically here in gaza and in lebanon uh of... as you know they are still targeting the israeli military sites, this represents another clue that the israeli cuvition forces are still aarament with the policy of analiving more civilians and this is an act of cowardis, as you know, and this reveals the reality of the israel incubation forces, they are deliberately attacking the residential buildings and this gives once again, this gives the resistance of france, whether it was about gaza, lebanon or elsewhere or any... front in the axis of resistance, the ultimate right to defend themselves and to react and to respond to the ongoing anonost of israeli violations, and these the flagrant abuses getted out day and night against the palestinian people and the lebanese people in lebanon. we are, we believe here that any response presented,

imposed by any resistance uh faction uh is completely justified and the palestinan people actually are celebrating and welcoming any kind of any response to the ongoing israel. because simply as you know the israelion understands uh this language, it is the only language that the israelion forces understand, which is completely about as you know retaliating stunchly to any kind of any violation against any any palestinian or lebanese land uh this is on one hand, on the other hand this reveals the clearly mean that these retaliatory attacks carried out by hisballah and the medicine resistance or any front of the axis of resistance, these attacks reveal clearly that the palestinian resistance is completely united with all other fronts, and this means clearly that we are witnessing a real embodiment and

manifestation of the unity of the frants facing the israeli cubation forces and this as you know on the other hand the israel incubation forces are still work. by leaps and bounds just to divide these fronts. so we are talking about a strategic moment here, which is about as you, at the same time the palestinian and all fronts of the resistance and the access of positions are trying to be more united and to side it to be sided which which which with each other. the israel incubation forces are still as you trying to divide and to separate among these fronts. uh, this is on one hand, on the other hand, we understand clearly that uh, at the same time the israeli incubation forces are still trying to restore some of their deterrance power uh that was lost for multiple times whether it was about what happened on october

the 7th here in gaz strip or the ongoing retaliatory attacks carried out by hisbullah uh they are desperately i mean the israeli side they are desperately attempting to restore that deterrance power. and however the palestinian resistance and all axiss of resistance actually is still standing indomitable invincible and every day they as you present more evidences that they are still able to fight back against the israelicubition forcess and all this kind of the ongoing assassinations and these ongoing attacks against lebanon and gaza uh are futile and they are unable to eradicate the resistance from the region um so... once again for the palestinian people, for the lipanese people, i guess these movements are decisive, because as you are talking about a real collapse of the israeli as you force in the region, and this is the most threatening thing that the israeli regime is thinking

about, which is about losing this kind of the deterrance power and in the face of these resistance forces on on the ground, so this is why are relying on targeting more residential uh buildings and the squares in order to twist the arm of the resistance in the region um so uh once again uh to the medicine and people they understand clearly uh that uh these uh israeli violations and attacks would never be able to eradicate the palestinian people to silence as you the resistance in the region and all these attacks the pressure exerted on those fronts will increase uh as you know will increase the power of this resistance of france respond more stanchly and strongly to those israeli attacks and violations and once again at the same time the israeli occupation force trying just to change the status quo on the on the ground and they are still trying to

change uh the roles of engagement on the ground, the palestinian uh resistance is still able to as you know to thwart and to face the israelition uh on the ground. well um to go along the line of thought that our correspondent there has marleh from gaza, are we looking a turning point here when it comes to? uh the israeli regime and hisbolah um in terms of their cross-border attacks uh or not, i mean uh, this was um of major operation that was carried out by hezbollah, yes, this is true, but uh, although we are the journalists, we we're supposed to be given the answers, but there are so many ans questions that are still unanswered right now, cave, and i think it all depends on how the israelis decide to... fun, but the fact that they have been speaking, whether in their media, uh, in the israeli dailies,

talking about the fact that they have been able to hit launchers, over a thousand launchers, rocket launchers for hizballah in which were aimed at the heart of um tel aviv, uh, it's something that seems to show you that the israelis are saying, we defended, we defended, we're deterring, we're deterring, so we're not going for a response to the hazbillah retaliation, this is probably what it seems like, but this... could also um be, it could also show, there could also be a surprising turn as well, a turn of events, if the result of the hazbillah retaliation is considered massive, it is considered for example something that harms, as the israelis say their security and their defenses, they could probably go and and respond also towards the capital bayrut, and if that happens, we will also see a massive retaliation uh from hizballah, now in order to just uh perhaps respond to the israeli claims that they said they attacked thousand launchers that were aimed at tel aviv, now in

order to reach tel aviv, hazballah would need more longer range uh uh rockets and we saw from hazballah's footage of the imad four facility, very huge military facility which seems to be underground. hez does not shoot their long range or medium range rockets uh from launchers that are obvious to the israelis and so that is definite that really debunks. uh the israeli claims that they have targeted areas uh or the launchers of the hazballah which were aimed to hit the center the israeli regime, that is on one hand, another issue is that they have said that they were able to have intelligence uh just before hazballah began this operation uh and it was only minutes away actually when hizbullah had already launched their swarm or maybe squadrons of drones that came from various different s' addition to the hundreds of rockets says hit their targets in all the

military sites throughout the golan heights and the the region so that also is another thing that shows that these so-called claims by the israelis were not successful. this is on one hand, on the other hand is we need to clarify that hazbullah had said their objective for the operation from day one was in support of the palestinian resistance and the palestinian people in gaza in as they face this genocidal war from the israelis, this is to make sure that they are forcing a war of attrition on the israeli military to weaken it to the extent that it cannot go all out also on gaza and would not have the ability to take down uh the resistance. hazballah secretary general sayid hasanlah has said also in the various speeches and more than one speech since the beginning of the confrontation until now he said that the major objective... is to make sure that the israelis do not achieve their objectives, that in itself is considered a massive

victory for the resistance. we saw that in 2006, for example, the israelis intended to make sure that they wipe out the resistance, that they make sure they end hazballah, they unarm hazballah, they make hazballah withdraw towards the north of the litane river um basically making sure that they have another buffer zone as they did during the occupation until the tier the year 2000. "that was also not successful, the israelis could not even reach anywhere close and put not put foots on the feet on the ground in many of the towns and many of the points and therefore could not reach anywhere near ' the litani river and so hizbullah today as a resistance front now as a whole, it is no longer separate issue, like before we had different uh wars against gaza, we had separate uh front that was its own, and now we can see that the front has grown, there are various support fronts from lebanon, from yemen, from iraq, addition to the diplomatic support in order to stop the general side of war from the

islamic republic of iran, they have put exerted all that effort to stop the genocide against the people of of gazah. so that all is very significant supportive ground for the palestinian resistance, and so if we take things back to that point, hezballah does not aim to have a war. now if you take a look at the other side, for example, the israelis had always had plans of war against lebanon. throughout the years after 2006, we always had israeli overflights, violations of lebanese airspace, in addition to the viol violations of land, whether here near the town, excuse me of of of khiam, in addition to to the other areas where they had also built a wall all along over some 130 square kilometers, all that was intended first of all to make sure that they are preparing themselves to launch war against lebanon, this is in addition to the many threats that we had from israeli officials saying that they will take lebanon back to the stoneage, that they were always threatening the

lebanese government to put pressure on it to say that they need to disarm the resistance at lebanon or else they will go for a war against all of lebanon, including lebanese governmental institutions and civilian and infrastructure, but of course we can see that after hazbullah began their operations, now we get the significance of that and the wisdom of those operations, which one people did not see the significance of at the beginning, we saw that hazballah began actually, and you can see here behind me, some of the perhaps the water will not help us, some of the posts that were first targeted were... in the occupied chibba farms, which are right behind me, the also maka post, there wasat lalam post, these were the first posts that were targeted by hazballah's resistance, very precise, very limited targeting, the use of um of arms also was very economical, they were only using mortars, guided missiles, and then later on they went to anti-armor missiles, they did not even use lot of their capacity, and up

until today hazbullah has said that they have not used perhaps more than 10% their military capabilities in the military arsenal, we know that also from the footage that was aired on the issue of imad 4, the military facility, and they said in that that our mountains are our stock piles of of where we keep our our rockets and so all the claims by the israelies that they were able to strike and target uh the rocket launchers is also false since of course hezbollah would need the longer range rockets in order to reach them. hezballah secretary general has said in the past that if the israeli... launched attacks against civilian targets and that is the main issue here. hezbulah is waiting to see, i think the actions of the israelis, how is the conduct of the israelis as a result of this retaliation? will they go for strikes against uh civilian infrastructure or areas where there are civilians perhaps deep in the heart of beirout or in the southern suburbs of

beirot, that will definitely entail a massive retaliation and i don't think khasbollah will only target military sites at that point. all right. um the statement from hisb that i want to get a reaction from you um concerns how uh they have come out and uh talked about the retaliation that has taken place now along with that uh what they have said is that the military operations are going to take some time to complete i'm quoting um the hisbollah's second statement when the operation was completed of which he said um the military operation will take some time to complete after which detailed statement will be issued. "the islamic resistance in lebanon is now and at this moment at the highest level of readiness, um, do you think that therefore this points to the direction of the fact that we're going to see this continue, this type of retaliation from hisbollah, or are we going to see the israel regime making the first moves and for hizbollah to retaliate? well, if we are to take the what

the israeli officials are saying as..." fact, not probably some way of deception in order to make a certain surprise, which i don't think is very likely. now you have the israeli official statements and you have the uh also reports in the israeli press that the issue is over, plus what i mentioned, think in the first segment of my contribution is that the is israel said that they have aborted and they have carried out a preemptive attack assault on hizbullah to prevent an operation or these facts tell you that the israelis did not do not want to as as we said to have escalation now for hizbullah to have any difference between the

two statements and any ambiguity, think everything will be clarified in the speech of his eminence secretary general nasrullah at 1800 uh today beirot time uh because uh "you know when you are in a war and you have to issue a statement, even the first statement said the the operations will take some time uh, because you are, you was within the act itself, and the israelis also were still launching some raids, which i said earlier also targeted, not the heart of the villages and towns, but rather the outskirts of these villages." so probably this was is due to the two parties were expecting the reaction of the other and also plus to have more

information about the operation itself and its outcome, but once again i think everything will be clarified with the speech of sayd nasrullah, this afternoon, i think. all right, mariam sal, so uh, the... at this point, a couple hours have passed by, um, are we seeing any type of uh, military moves from from either side at this point, where where you're located, if you have that information, uh, we have information of two different air strikes by the israelis uh in the nakura and another one in uh, i think in the area of tarharfa, what these are similar to... to previous strikes, they're on the outskirts of these towns and these towns, as you know, many of these the border towns, all of the border towns that are adjacent to the border

actually, have all been evacuated, we cannot uh find i think civilians in all of these areas, and so they have been striking uh those areas, the you also have excuse me, towns where you have forests and green space, so many open spaces that have been targeted by the israeli uh air force, we have news that there was an israel drone that was taken down in the north of lebanon, of course we need to confirm that, we do not have uh verified reports on that yet um, but uh concerning the movements of the there's actually silence that we have right now, we do not have uh lot of we have of course the air the airplanes, the israeli war war fighter jets are hovering over our heads, we have sounds of drones every now and then um but like i said it was it was one hour and a half. of continuous shelling from hazbullah and launching of drones uh, but and israeli shelling, but for now it seems that they have

uh stopped and the israelis of course are taking measures within their home front and we know that the shelters have been open in the areas of tel aviv and surrounding that uh the israelis are also saying that israeli officials are in contact with us officials uh the us officials and actually the um secretary of defense um lord austin has said and told his counterpart uh israeli minister saying that they do want to prevent and avoid regional war, i think the us does understand the consequences of the fact if the israelies do go for a war on lebanon, then perhaps we might see a different retaliation from the islamic republic of iran, that too is something that there's a hot... hotly being uh awaited by many people uh to see if there is a difference in the retaliation this time round when it comes to retalian for the assassination of ismail hannah we have also

uh direct attacks against the towns uh now coming in uh several attacks in some of them were earlier this morning some of them later on alwayze basliya rashaf altiri hadatha kinkin yatar siddiqin and these are areas that are mostly on the border, but you have areas that are a bit further away like for example as well as haris and you have towns that have not been usually hit like for example is not usually under israeli attacks, but the... outs of that town of that towns are, but the town of vana, for example is considered far away from the border, that two has been attacked, attacked not only this time, but previously also when there was

assassination, assassination that... to the martterdom of one of hazballah's officials in addition to seven-year-old boy, and of course we can see that the israelis do not uh limit their scope and cannot, there's no discrepancy when it comes to targeting civilians or targeting hazbillah members and most of hazballah's members that were killed during this confrontation were not killed in the battle zone uh lot of them were only assassinated as a result of israeli drones and we saw that uh on several instances in how they were attacked directly. uh with drones in their in their vehicles and um as we saw of course the assassination and there's also when it comes to an analys uh the issue of the the us position has been considered deception by many, for example you had from the beginning the israeli the americans talking about the fact that they don't want to full out war, they don't want the situation escalate, but then you have them giving green light for the israelis for the assassination of top of the hamas ahead

of a political bureau. uh smile hany deep in the heart of the islamic republic of iran and tehran, also the green light for the attack on the southern suburbs of beirot, which led to the killing of five civilians and hizbullah's military commander fuad chuka, so that in itself also raises lot of questions, will there be some sort of a surprise attack by the israelis that will go for a war on lebanon uh also in a manner that could lead to a retaliation by hazbulah? all right, let me uh say goodbye to mohammed obaid uh who gave us his contribution. thank you so much muhammad uh political analyst there from beirot. i'm gonna cross on over now to uh um musaba corresponded there in the gaza strip. muti at this point uh we know we were looking at what has occurred here at the same time when there's cease fire talks that are happening and at this point uh if we want to take a look at the impact that that may have on the ceasefire talks um doesn't sound like the israeli regime um is really interested in

uh in in having something come out of that. you get that feeling also, well actually no one can deny that the israelition forces are still bucked down in gaz strip as a result of the strong resistance that they have been facing since the one of this genocidal war against gaza and every day the israeli side actually uh becomes more confident uh that they will never be able to eradicate the palestinan resistance from gaz we are talking about 10 consecutive months of this ongoing and nonstop israeli strikes needless to mission that they have killed at least 50 thousand palestinian civilians uh uh and we we are witnessing the massive destruction that they have inflicted and gaza step in all areas of gaz strip until this moment we are witnessing how the palestinan resistance is still able to fight back against the israeli kivision forces all these actually all these consideration consideration
