hello and welcome to press tv spotlight. i'm marsia hashimi. thanks so much for being with us. well, the lebanese resistance movement, hazbullah, has entered new phase in its retaliation against the israeli regime. that's according to the hazbullah deputy secretary general sheikh naim qassem. uh, the

israeli regime committed terrorism against thousands of hezbollah members and ordinary citizens in lebanon, last week, and now hazbullah has answered with the blast hitting many barracks and other areas, including inside of the city of haifa. well, stay with us as we take a look at the latest situation between the resistance movement hezbullah and the zionist regime. i'd like to welcome. my guess to the program out of radan rizg, political analysts and out of belfast, author, commentator and west asia expert, saib shaf, welcome both of you to the program, i'd like to start off in beirot, mean your thoughtswan when the hez. deputy

chief says that the war or the uh retaliation has entered new phase, what do you think this means? well, i rather call it a return of ahead or operation, because now we we know that we all know and we understand that we are in a state of war, either we admit that or not, since the 8th of october in order. to support the gaza resistance, palestinian resistance in gaza, so uh now the lebanese resistance are involved since the 8th of october and it's legitimate for the lebanese to support their allies or their the their you know the the uh the the palestinian fighters in in palestine because after all

are fighting the same enemy for the same cause and the we all know understand that the israelies were preparing themselves since years ago to invade the southern lebanon in order to push back the hizballah from northern litane river so it's a war taking place escalating sometimes to levels where it you know it's reveals that we are going into a major war, sometimes it cools down, this is the facts of of war, but the israelis have, they have declared and announced so many times on many spokesman of the israeli governments that they want to eliminate hizballah totally and they don't want any resistance to be laid on their northern borders, so this is not going to happen. "the

war now it's taking place in lebanon, not only because supporting the palestinian in in in gaza, no it's we are fighting the same war and the same, the same enemy, and the the enemy which is called the israel, israeli governments were planning to evacuate or eliminate gaza from its population by displacing or killing and and..." destroying uh gaza strip and the turn was coming to us in lebanon and we all understand that, either the some libanese people admit that or not, but it's a fact that they it's the plan of the israeli government. okay, well sap, your thoughts, i mean it has been almost a year since the israeli genocide intensified against palestinians in gaza, and of course the regime hasn't reached any of its stated goals so... "if the zionists have not been

able to defeat hamas with all its limitations, i mean, why would it want, why would this regime want to expand this war to lebanon, and againstbullah because the zin entity is going through total bunic now, we can see every day there is investigation on this, investigation on that, lots of investigation happening to the failures, they suffer from intelligence, army, militarily, politically, all of that from stemmed from the 7th of october and the the zianist entity, their leadership now they pointing as well the finger, that's why they failed in gaza and they still for a whole year cannot s achieve any of their goals declared in gaza and then pin point their fingers at the lebanese resistant as well because they

engaged third of its forces at the borders so they they they see that is give them or restricted their hands from how... having all their army is focused at gaza and and and from this they they they cannot the achieve as they say the their goals in gaza, the goals of evicting or eliminating hamas or the palestinan resistance from there, eliminating any opportunity in the future for any resistance forces to to to be or to represent any kind of threat again. the the zinus entity or their gaza envelope area as they say in the same time shifting the people from north gaza to the center and to kanyunis as well that's where the focus of the people will be the gaza strip the rest will be

buffer zones and this is to to enable them to do all of that they need to destroy the palestinian resistance they cannot destroy till today we witness the palestinian resist. still engaging them, the palestinian resistance can do that while there is a support from the north the northern alliance like the lebanese resistance or the the capabilities which is unleashed by the yeminis when the palestinian cannot reach tel avib, the yemen is reach tel avib, hisballah reach tel avib and destroyed the the unit 8,200 with his brain of the military intelligence, the iraqi is resistance start, so that connection and that unique organization and unity between the resistant factions represented huge obstacle to the zinist entity to be able to achieve any of

his goals in gaza and that's give the palestinian resistance more time to be able to dug deep instagram and direct massive blows and entity in the war of ression which is waging in gaza and the same thing, this is what is the lebanese resistance is doing, the blaze resistance is is acting in a calm and calculated manner, they don't react to the wave of terror mass terror the design entity conducted, the the assassination of lebanese leaders, the messages which the zin entity direct and say now we're killing lebanese. military leaders of the resistance, this is mean, in the future we will target the political leadership, unless you stop supporting gaza, we will continue that. right, what, radan, we saw the regime resort to electronic terrorism against hisbollah last week, and i want your assessment of

that, i mean, is that a sign of desperation because of seeing how hazbullah has dealt with the regime during this, almost last year. i mean, your assessment of why they played that card, if you want to say, at this point in time? well, first of all, i don't think that it's only the israelis could do that. i think the israelis don't have the technology to do that. i believe so that's the british and the americans who have done that in order to support the the israelis in their in their struggle, searching for some kind of victory uh because you know their their act in the field was so disappointing uh and they couldn't achieve anything on the ground and now they are stuck in the mud of

of gaza and they have suffered from the lebanese resistance on the on the borders also and they couldn't do anything at all on the ground so that's why i believe that's due to the american tremendous pressure was made on the on the lebanese resistance and the lebanese government to separate the both sides. from supporting each other in this battle, so i believe that's almost hookstein lots of threatening to the lebanese government and the lebanese resistance, either order them to giving them some orders either to do that, or so this or came, i believe from an american american british technology in the name of the israelis and now we can see... late in this afternoon the israelis have denied any involvement in this act and they they were not uh they were not

involved in it and they didn't do it so what would they do that or say that so i believe this is the israelis and the americans and the british have all together have cooperated to do such massacre in lebanon but i believe that this is failed and they didn't achieve what they were targeting for uh i believe that's the the people of of lebanon in the in the street are more supportive and more determined to support the the the resistance in lebanon standing behind the the leaderships of the resistance and they are willing to go into this war as long as it needs so now the israel is, i think i believe the timing was was the last hope. to separate both sides from each other hoping that they could achieve that, they were very

disappointed because it it fired back on them and now they are escalating the war and now they they are suffering more and more, even they have they have the ability to hit and occur many massacers in in lebanon, especially a three in this in one week in beirot, and elsewhere in the south and bica valley, but now what we have seen as return from the lebanese resistance on hitting ha and many other air bases and military bases were so showing and proves that the resistance have still many hidden cards in its hand and it can bring it this this enemy d to its knees, now they believe that they must believe and must understand that we are,

nothing can bring us down to our needs and the one who is going to raise the white flag, i believe the israelis, right? well sab, i mean, you heard redwan talk about uh, that the israeli regime is trying to deny that they had anything to do with the electronic terrorism, um, let's talk about that, because there seems to be lots of fear. um, especially uh, we have seen the of course resistance in hitting ha and the amount of missiles and drones that has not been seen since 2006, do you think that they miscalculated? do you think that they actually thought that they could paralyze hezbollah um by those terrorist acts, the latest terrorist acts committed against them? you see, my own take on that, it's a gamble they took and it's fired back. big time on them, it panicked the western markets whose electronic western markets, even the electric

cars, market and all of that, people now worried who's having ipads or computers or cell phones or pages or even electric cars, what from the future any rogue state like the zinus entity can direct a massive blow at their economy, now they even i was talking about yesterday in a... in here, people in here in the west, their their companies are worried now about the people on the global south won't be interested that much in trusting the the chain of supply from the west with the electronics and this is will have implication in many other things in the future, will strengthen the the chinese market, the south asia market, maybe the russians, that's in its own, but let's say one of these things which we noticed. i noticed myself or my own take with the pager they i think they wanted to flush people out

from their hiding and this is i think this is my own take when they they use the this the new these pages will be deployed such where and some people will take uh some of these things and that's when uh some of these personalities especially the leaderships from radwan brigades were injured and and the other they were uh was hospitalized and after he released from the hospital people are visiting him want to make sure he's all right then they direct uh the the blow at the building and they say there was a meeting of the commanders and stuff like that, this is how sneaky they are, and in that way see many thousands of the peoples injured, how many people is being killed a children, doctors, nurses, hospitals be, but this is a mass terror campaign, and the second day we

witness as well from the west, they linked each name of the victims, oh this one targeted uh an operation against the american embassy in 1983, this one targeted an operation against the marines and so they justifying the the the the their own supplying design entity as radan said with the information because all of this hype about the design entities capabilities of gathering intelligence and high tech it's all rubbish the the the play. on the skies of gaza are british spying on the resistance in the name of trying to spot where is the prisoners, that's the name and the the mercenaries the french, the american delta unit on the ground in gaza, the whole west gather and spighting with the zinis entity and cannot eliminate a small strip of land like gaza, that's that's that's part of it

and and and the other part the zinist entity going to to lebanon. and try to now escalate uh to to provoke a harsher reaction from the the lebanese resistance who in the 25th of august directed a strategic blow at at their galilot military base in one one one mile away from tel aviv and eliminated the unit 8,200 today they are showing us with these terror acts like their... intelligence is is is alive and kicking and vital to their own blows and directing hits and look what they doing in libaron, they scared the world from their monstrosity and the the the people around the world they know there is an western fingers in that, how how come they cannot condemn the killing of the civilians,

the killing of children, the the so many angels being affected on lebanese doctors and stay with me, stay with me, let me get rid one back in on this discussion, i mean throughout each phase of uh hezbollah's war against the zionist regime, we've witnessed new weapons being used by the resistance against uh the zionists, i mean you your thoughts on what we have seen the last couple of days, because um hazbullah has used uh two different uh missiles that they had never revealed before and they still say that there's so much else left. that the regime still has not seen. your thoughts red one? well, the missiles that you know being used in this morning attack, it's after 12 o'clock midnight and the 6x o'clock in the morning are the smallest in the biggest missiles

group, because they have a smaller than that, and this is ' i believe this is the smallest in the biggest rockets group and it can reach up to 75 to 125 kilometers with 100 and 200 kilos of explos of warhod and that means showing it may be the resistance still trying to make the israelis more rational and understand uh that's but we what we show you is just very small sample of our capability if you want to do to do so, so if you don't understand and don't learn the lesson, the next retaliation or the next attack is going to be with the different missiles, with the bigger war head, with more destructive power

to the missiles with longer range and no point in the occupy. palestine is out of the reach of the resistance rockets, so now the americans maybe are trying to hold back a bit and they are trying to to recount what they what they have, because they think they thought that by occurring or doing this massacer killing ibrahim akil and his comrades in in dahya could have broke. down the resistance down to its knees and after especially after the pas attack and the tokkoki attack. but that did, as i said, did fire back on them, and now the resistance show them that nothing can stop us from continuing our policy, fighting this brutal

enemy, and we all we know and we understand that he is willing to do more and more massicres and nothing will stop him because morality and no dignity of this this monster enemy. in the middle east, i only have about a minute left, i mean, i want to talk about the significance though of hezbollah hitting targeting and hitting hyfa, and also the type of reaction that we're seeing from design settlers throughout the occupied northern territories, where do you think this is going to go uh, the the the resistance uh is calculating its reactions and the resistance knows the zin to try to uh to drag it down into a reaction which is kind of provoke a war, that kind of war, we hear the news, american don't want it in that, no, the americans wants, i believe the americans want

kind of a comprehensive war even in in the region, which is engages most of the resistant actors in there, and this is the aim of it, they want the then to get the the holy grill as they say to... direct a blow at iran to eliminate the the the plants, the nuclear plants, the iranian nuclear plants, because the zint and netanyahu himself and his war cabinet, they cannot feel safe not just because of the resistant in gaza and that mainly while there is a program nuclear program like that given iran the status of a global power, not just a regional power, this is what the americans would do want to not want to see and this is why you can see american deployment of their vessels coming and their aeroplanes carriers and in in the east of mediterranean, but let me say this as

well, this morning i was in the afternoon morning, yeah was listening to radio, tv station seconds, really, it's a ziinus entity channel interviewing an arabic journalist about the rockets landing on hyfa, the north of haifa, he said no, these rockets landed. in my house his name ali zebak is an israeli iron door rockets which you fire in the arab villages and we don't have any threat from hizballah whatsoever come into our das so this is can say what when they had the golan heights and kill 10 kids and trying to blame hisballah was at the same scenario they trying to create so sorry to interrupt you but we really are out of time appreciate you being with me run one political out of beirut author out of belfast and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, hope to see you right here tomorrow, goodbye,

many people, even progressive people think that before the europeans set for in africa there was nothing there, so we try to als so explain the positive stories about africa. shirak, he said, without the business arrangements that we have with africa, we would be a third world country. the biggest issue with that isn't that they enslaved africans, like i said, all people enslave is that they created a lie to justify the enslavement of african. many people see africa as a place where it had colonilization and after colonilization people had colonized minds, but that... was yesterday's africa, make links with your african brothers and sisters, because we need you, you need them, and together we will liberate this whole planet. we're the big bad americans, the laws

don't apply to us, get out of our way. black water is a company that we contracted out to in iraq and afghanistan, many parts of the... the world, did your people ever kill innocent civilians? it's entirely possible. where is freedom? where are human rights? there's a instance of detaines and how they were treated in nice manner. fighters of a private army in the middle east, the myth of the war on terrorism, by terrorism, the adventure of the most horrifying terrorist organization in the world. claiming to grant freedom to the people of a country. they don't care about the men they hire, the only thing they care about is the money. but there's also the term

eat the apple f the core.

your headlines on pressv, hezballah says it is ready to face all military possibilities as it launches major retaliatory missile and drone strike on israel, more palestinian civilians are killed in as the israeli regime continues with its air and artillery strikes on various areas across the blockader territory and iran's islamic revolution guards core dismantles a spine network affiliated with the israel regime that plan to undermine the country's security.
