law cannot be applied selectively. no one state is more equal than any other. we reiterate our call for immediate ceasefire and for the release of all hostages. the only lasting solution is the establishment of a palestinian state. "we will not leave here, we will not leave the south. those who have fled are residents of the rural areas. there is nothing here. we will not leave. as you see, i am selling vegetable and fruit, and people are happily buying. we will not leave. we will remain steadfast until death, and we are ready to fight israel to death, and we will not abandon our country. this is our land, we are the rightful owners. even if of some had to flee to protect their children and family members, some have to..." stay in

the town so that the enemy does not notice that it is empty, we will not leave our lands, we are holding to our land to the south and to our country, even if israelis destroyed, bombarded and did whatever they want to our country, we are our banner will remain raised high and we shall be victorious, god willing. hello and welcome to press tv spotlight, i'm marse hashimi, thanks so much for being with us, well it's daid three of the latest round of the israeli aggression against lebanon, the zionist regime has bombed many areas in the south and east in the country, so far there have been a at least 620 lebanese

killed and over 2 injured. meanwhile hezbullah has launched extensive retaliatory strikes deep inside the occupied territories, and on wednesday the lebanese resistance targeted musad headquarters in tel aviv. due to zina censorship, the regime keeps a tight lid on fatalities which hazbullah has caused inside of the entity. we're going to look at take a look at all of this on the spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. ali hamy academic and political analyst out of south lebanon and sab shath, author, commentator and west asia expert out of belfast. well, thank you both for being with us. i'm going to start off uh with alie. so

ali, is it correct? you're in south lebanon right now? yes, i am. okay, so let me start off right there. why are you in south lebanon? why haven't you left that area? well, first thanks for having me with you. thanks for coming. thank you. i would like to say that exactly what the person said from south lebanon, we will not leave, and if you see so many people left south lebanon is is not. majority, most of the lebanese still stand still in south lebanon and they are ready, um, they are ready to fight for, and against any invasion, may the israeli think about it in support of hisbullah, so we are all, we are all under the call of his eminent, sad hasan nasrullah, and we will never leave our place, you know, about 10 minutes. ago my village here received two big

hit aggression attack from israeli raid by fighter jets and we stand still and as you see i'm i'm talking to you from my village this is one thing the other thing that we see that israel committed by 250 fighter jet the most powerful condensed in the modern history. uh with 2000 aggression with 2000 more than 200 raid raids against lebanon and we still uh fighting, we still more powerful than israel and believe me this is this is true, up to now the israelis are only attacking civilians, buildings, infrastructures, hospitals, roads, but up to now the the... and construction of hizbillah

is untouched up to now, they still can fight, they still can raid israel and launch. of against israel big missiles such as cader one as they did today and we see that hisballah up to now only attacking the uh intelligence, the military, the the musad, the all the the the naval bases and never attacked any civilian target, but the israelis, the main pressure... they are trying to put on lebanon is to say that our condition is uh most the lebanese from south lebanon left south lebanon so they will not be able to uh to to

came back again uh unless we can bring back our settlers to to north this will not do the sifire will not stop until israel is under one condition, as said hasanlah said, only you withdraw from gaza, you see fire, and then we'll think about see some fire. all right, thank you, ali sad, your thoughts, i mean it seems like we're we're seeing a repeat of what happened in gaza, the same type of excuses that, saying the regime is saying that hazbullah, they're hiding. using human shields uh are using the the people to hide amongks um also hitting residential areas, hitting homes and saying that it was hezbollah center just as we saw in gaza with

hamas with qasim brigades and again just like ali said the majority of people who have been killed so far once again are civilians your thoughts. exactly, hagari said yesterday that the lebanese resistance hiding its equipment and fighters and infrastructure and missiles in the villages, towns and halls from biqa valley to the south of lebanon, that is to is a brief text for them to start killing on mass the civilians. in the south and valley and dahya in beirot as well, and that's what they do, that's what they are good at. gaza is been today nearly one year, and they destroyed everything in gaza, every school, every hospital, every nearly every house, and

they uprooted nearly every street, and still, as we seen video footage of the palestinan resistance engaging them in raffa and destroying. their equipment, they this is the capabilities of the this kind of resistance who manufactured its own weaponry on the ground or under the ground in the gaza strip and fighting them, the resistance is capable and strong and they have will power is formidable will power, but the zinus entity have the high tech, have the weaponry, have the the support, have the diplomatic immunity given by the united states of america and the west through the international bodies. and is still cannot achieve defeating the the palestinian people and they go and kill so many, there is declared number in gaza up till today, 42,00 is being killed, over 18 thousand of them children, there is seen from

the report 14 page of babies being under one years of age is being killed and there is fetus is being killed. it's is unbelievable the way the savagery of this zinus entity is committing against the pastinian and now repeating the same thing in lebanon, the lebanese people, they they seen that from the year 1978 when the zinus entity after the signatory of cam david or near near enough to that signatory of cam david with the with the egyptians, they invaded lebanon and the resistant pushed them back at. the palestinian and lebanese resistance in and then it's every year on off on 1982 they occupied beirot as the first arabic capital after jerusalem to to be occupied and then they we know what they done and there when the international community supposed to be

led by united states of america reach a resolution of the palestinian fighter to leave beirot okay and they left behind them. their own families in the refugee camps in sabra and shatila and others and they philip habib the american whose commissioned behalf the president reagan at the time signed deal. with the plo at the time, these palestinians will be safe in libalon and we we know what they did to them, that's with american guarantees, they massacred over 400 palestinian women and children and elderies, men in there and they dance on their bodyw, sharon is guarding and putting spotlights for the the the one who committing the genocide, sharon was the defense minist entity, so this is the kind of of entity you're dealing with, genocidal. entity from the day one these gangs been brought into palestine by the by

the british empire and then the americans they start their genocide machine against the people of palestan because their project is about a cleansing the the the east mediterranean of from all the residence in there not just the palestinian their aim of which is the trump said just last month israel is tiny it's have to get bigger. they are loaded of the creating the what the call greater israel which is have to have lebanon, syria, part of iraq, part of arabia and part of egypt, okay, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, let me get ali back in on this conversation, well i was talking about the the tragic situation of course taking place in gaza, over 42,00 um been killed at least um and and just today uh 35 more palestinians were kidnapped uh from the west bank and at

least 10,900 of them have been kidnapped and captured since october, it's it's absolutely mind-boggling and of course he thought he talked about the number of kids who have been killed, so i you're in lebanon and we know from the very beginning uh from october the 8th hezbullah opened up second front. ease some of the pressure uh on the palestinians in gaza, did you ever think, because we see there's so many other arab countries near palestine, much larger than lebanon, um, did you ever think uh, why we doing this, we're going to be opening up ourselves to more aggression, uh, first of all, let me say that i will be surprised if the israeli do not commit any... crime or terror against the humanity around the world, this is their

doctrine, their doctrine is to kill, their doctrine is to burn, their doctrine is to do what they believe that hitler did to them, hitler did to them, and i believe they never learn that we are now live balance of power against those criminals, so the israeli wants to try and try again and try again and again the same... crimes, same terror against the palestinian, they don't believe, they don't recognize that there is such a state of palestine, up to now they call it the authority, palestinian authority, so they don't recognize or believe that there is such state called palestine up to now, so why lebanon open a fire on the 8th of last october, because we all knew that there was a maneuver and demonstration. or a drill for between israel, united state, united kingdom,

also united arab emirate, one of the normalization states and also the isis in arkitori in cyprus, about five of them, five demonstrations, so how to deal with gaza, bank and lebanon and in case iran interven they will try to attack iran too, so we know after gaza lebanon will be second or third in a row, so israel is put in their schedule that they will commit so they will commit crimes against the humanity and so because their main goal is to widen up their state. the state of the masonic, the state of luciferian, and we know that they are coming

more and more supported by some arab luciferian country dominated by isis, even though they want to to show that they are not like that, but they are, and we see that the islamic zionist, in addition to the christian zionist and... jewish zionist, they are all in the same path in order to rule the world through the religious, the islam, judaism. and the christianity, this will not work because the resistance access by intention or unintentionally, they block, they they slow down their conspiracies against us, so one of the goals now for israel was that america will handle the attack against gaza, the

grand prize will be to to take... over west bank and then in case lebanon open a supportive front, they will deal with lebanon, american and israelis, that's why we saw like couple weeks ago we end up that we and the israelis balance of power, we could not attack each other more than the the same rules that we are following both of us, but after hockstein visit. to israel last monday and he give the key coding and decoding of the rf system that hisbullah is using in lebanon and with the help of not only help with the participation of the united states by sending the ec130c airplane campus call which can affect and destroy all the paasures

and the tokiew and in lebanon, it did not work, it did not work because their plan was 4000 of the leaders at the front against israel will be killed by then, so it ends up that hisbullah foiled their target and still strong, because israel after this criminal attack and terror attack against the civilian by through the pages and so, they had in in mind to interven by uh land invasion to lebanon. this did not work and i think now the israelis after they received so many hit and hard hit by hizbullah and we are talking about the musad intelligent depart intelligence department in tel aviv we see

that now they are convinced about talking in seefire in lebanon and lebanon is still refusing that, until unless israel will stop killing palestinian and unless lifting the sanctions and the siege of uh gaza. all right, what about that, sab, because it seems that the regime has miscalculated, once again as ali said today, we we saw um that uh hezbullah targeted musad in tel aviv to. aviv looked like a ghost town um and as of the start of this program we had gotten information about the iraqi resistance and hitting a lot and uh even the regimes admitting at least two people were injured because we know they usually deny um having any type of casualties, your thoughts about that? yes the irakie sent to uh drones uh

which is the zinted said one of them slipped the net and exploded and the other one they anticipated the resistance in lebanon today's central command showed how calm and sophisticated it is, which the as ali was loaded there, they wanted to claim after the major terror attack which is directed at the civilians of lebanon, they want to say it's hit some of the central command of... wasn't they showed today how they when they unleashed the the sophisticated won this ballistic missiles and attack them this is repeat the the same story when in 25th of august uh they attacked the galilot which is just one mile out of tel aviv as well which

is that area was with the unit 8200 the were response. responsible for the intelligence gathering and targeting and deploying of targeting for the leader late leader for chuker the military leader so the resistance from that till today as i as will mentioned earlier on still targeting the military targets it didn't go the way the zin is going as we discuss earlier after kids babies and that and that's what they are they they try by doing this is to turn the incubators of the resistance, the the population uh against them, they try to massacre as many of the civilians and there to turn the people against the resistance, but let me... allood to uh one one point when you ask ali about why lebanon? lebanon took the most noble position here to stand by their brothers in gaza who is facing genocide. it's this is the

noble position of lebanon have to be recognized internationally. south africa went with the political and some other countries, but lebanon, the resistant lebanon engage more than third of the zinist entities army uh towards the north. so they took hits and they directed the blows of the zinus entity to alliviate some of the pressure on the palestinians. this is very noble to relieve the people from genocide and in that in that the zinist entity couldn't fulfill the list of goals of gaza of destroying all the resistance of eliminating the the the threat the resistance towards the the the heart of the zinis entity and when the z when the palestinian resistant couldn't directly blows to tel aviv, you seen the yemen is dead, the iraq is dead, the lebanese did, this belt of fire from the resistance which is created to

to surround this zianist cancer entity is working, and this is the target of directing a blows now against all right, stay with me, stay with me, i only have a couple of minutes left, i your thoughts, you think that the zinis uh... will invade lebanon by land? i think the zionist entity played all their strong cards by air raids or by breaching through electronic warfare and now they cannot tolerate the retaliation of hisbullah against them. let me tell you this through the strategic point of view. the israeli state. is moving from the possible way to live inside this region to the impossible state of living among any of the states are

sorry around so the moving from the possible to impossible it means israel is weakened and this is the third defeat within this year they tried in gaza they did not succeed as they want they tried to move into a west bank. and they did not, they tried their best to for some achievement in lebanon, i think they will be destroyed and vanished in case they commit such foolishness against lebanon. and saib, your final thoughts, your overall assessment, do you see that the israeli regime, it's basically has played most of its cards imploding from within, and basically just trying to do something to widen this war to get help. from the united states because it cannot win it alone. that is exactly what they do. excellent questions. the sign to try

to interganize the the resistance to provoke harsher response because of the killing of the many civilians in lebanon as well. and in that to say to the americans, where are you from saving the jewish entity? this what europe gave us in return for massacring? in europe, so this is the card which then and netanyahu will will reach to the limit of saying we're been defeated by by by hizballah so we need the americans in the ground, and this is when they bring the americans, they want to reach the whole grail, the whole grail in here is to dismantle the iranian nuclear program and to dismantle the iranian military and to to pacify iran and put iran back under the american. domination which through regime change, this is the whole the whole scenario which is trying to destroy the resistance access and on that note, i think

both of you for being with me, ali hamy academic and political analyst out of south lebanon stay safe, i and uh commentator and west asia expert out of belfast and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm marzia hashimi, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye as a citizen of the gazah trip, i thank the libanes people and brother hasan nasrullah for aligning his position to the position that he will not stop firing on israel unless it stops firing on the gaza's trip. this is a brave position on his part and we thank him. god willing, this will be our means of salvation and the way back to our homes in the north, we hope this will lead to sease fire, we hope that any free arab country will

stand with us. a courageous manner, because we are arabs and muslims and we are considered among you, so stand with us, the palestinian people, harmless people, tortured people, people who has lost everything in life, by god, lebanon has done what no arab has ever done, but what can we say, may god be with them and help them, they have tasted the pain we taste, there is no return, there is no return for you, the people of northern occupied palesty unless the people of northern gaza return to their land, this is what sheikh said, may his mouth be safe and his flag be raised. i salute the steadfastness of the lebanese people, i salute them, and i salute mr. hassan nasar allah, may god stand with them, god willing, the war will end, thanks to them, they will be the support for us, they are the support for gaza, no need for elaboration, the war will end with god's help and theirs, i'm

telling you for the second time. perhaps the third, this is the beginning of the end for israel, we will not leave here, we will not leave the south, those who have fled are residents of the rural areas, there is nothing here, we will not leave, as you see, i am selling vegetable and fruit and people are happily buying, we will not leave, we will remain steadfast until death, and we are ready to fight israel to death, and we will not abandon our country. "this is our land, we are the rightful owners. even if some had to flee to protect their children and family members, some have to stay in the town so that the enemy does not notice that it is empty. we will not leave our lands, we are holding to our land, to the south and to our country. even if israelis destroyed, bombarded and did whatever they want to our country, we do not care. our banner will remain raised high, and we shall be victorious, god willing." "they are going,

they are now launching the war on lebanon, because because they are not anymore can handle the the the the what's happening in the north and year also of their of their residence who's like not not in their homes in the in the north, so they are go continue the genocidal war on lebanon now and it is part of also the this, i will say the mentality that and the uh..." the israeli strategic plan that israel's borders is not just in palestine, it's expanding and it shows that shows that by netanyahu and he when he showed the map in the united nations last year. united states now is became worried about their their interest in the middle east and as israel is failing and the resistance in lebanon and palestine is is still resisting understanding the af.
