6:00 am
has proceeded to bladently threaten international security and peace. we hold the zionist occupation fully responsible for this heinous crime and its dangerous repercussions on the security and stability of the region, and the us administration responsible for its continued support for israel. history has shown that whenever leaders of the resistance. as marters, they will be succeeded by new generation of leaders who are braver, stronger and more determined to persist in the confrontation with the zionist enemy until it is defeated and eliminated from our land and our region. and with that we come to the end of this bulletin. thank you for listening, take care and bye-bye.
6:01 am
we received the news of murderdom of nasralah and israel will be destroyed, israel is finished for sure, the oppressor will go, "it is certainly the fault of islamic countries, because as our leader said today in his message, this rabbit dog is taken advantage. if it don't attack, it will attempt to invade all islamic countries. hopefully, with the help of god, we will unite, and we'll see israel's destruction very soon. of course, we were deeply sad when we heard the news, just like when we heard the news of general solomani's death." the zionist enemies army
6:02 am
resumed its wide scale aerial bombardments on southern lebanese and biqa towns for five days while the islamic resistance expanded its fire range in northern occupied palestine reaching tel aviv. the enemy's warplane scared out dozens of raids on monday night across various areas in the south and escalated the intensity of the bombardment in the south and the baqa started. tuesday morning. by evening, the number of aerial attack waves had reached four with the enemy claiming to have targeted dozens of military buildings, warehouses and rocket lunch sites. after conducting the security assessment, israeli entity chief of staff herzi halevi stated that attacks on hezbulah will intensify, adding that the situation requires intense and continuous action on all fronts. zinius minister of war yaf gallant announced that zinist israel has ready plans for further strikes on hizbullah. on the other
6:03 am
hand, lebanese health ministry announced that the number of marters as a result of the aggression has risen to 564 marters, including 50 children and 94 women, along with 1,835 injured. numbers expected to rise as the israeli entity air strikes continue as we speak. the lebanese health minister confirmed that four paramedics were killed and 16 others were wounded while 14 ambul. ces were damaged and bintish baale hospital in the south was also targeted. meanwhile, political activity has suddenly intensified from the us capital concerning the situation in gaza and lebanon. however, its essence doesn't seem fundamentally different from the various political maneuvers we've seen throughout different phases of the ongoing genocidal war in gaza since october 7. following this week's dramatic escalation which continues to unfold and has resulted in hundreds of martters and thousands of injured lebanese civilians. hisbullah's retaliatory
6:04 am
strikes have reached haifa, afula, the west bank settlements, the highly strategic ramad david airbase, rafael advanced defense systems and most notably ballistic missile strike on the musad headquarters in tel aviv, along with other sensitive and vital sites in within the zionist entity. this makes the situation more likely to head towards a severe and wide scale confrontation. however, military analysts believe it will not escalate into an all out or regional war as the constraints against scientis israel still hold, despite some changes driven primarily by benjamin netanyahu's and his extremist coalitions desire to go to great lengths to retain power in zionist israel, fearing the collapse of his government and coalition, should the war halt whether in gaza or southern lebanon. nonetheless, given that we live in a rapidly changing world governed by the interests and ambitions of major powers,
6:05 am
with no room for the week, the potential for events to aspire out of control remains a possibility. such a scenario could engulve the entire region in a fierce war that devastates everything in its path. reshaping the region in a way no previous conflict ever has. this is the medies stream and i'm naruasman. the israeli enemy's decision to proceed with its escalation plan against lebanon is longer solaly tie to its own agendas. over the past. hours it has become clear that the 48-hour aerial campaign during which it carried out more than 900 strikes against what it claimed where 20 targets in the south and the baqa has not resulted in a decrease in the number of rockets targeting northern occupied palestine. in fact, hezbulah expanded its
6:06 am
targeting range deeper all the way to tel aviv, albeit remaining limited to military targets. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is dr. ibrahim musawi, member of the lebanese parliament with the loyalty to the resistance block hizbullah. thank you very much for being with us uh professor and thank god for your safety and hopefully your family members will be inshallah soon better than before. thank you, thank you. it's my pleasure always to be at your channel and with your highly esteemed program. thank you very much. professor, in light of the recent escalation, how does hisbullah evaluate its military response so far for the vial? aggression against its people in lebanon, and what strategic message is it conveying by expanding its missile targeting into tel aviv, maybe is it a shift from the rules of engagement, does it recalibrate the way that zianis israel would be targeting lebanon, how
6:07 am
do you see all of this? well, first let me say that we are watching more or less uh the kind of scenarios that we have witnessed over the 11 and half months that we have witnessed. in gaza, i mean the israelis uh are notorious and they are very well known for their massacers, for their genocides for their targeting civilians and targeting civilian buildings and residential areas. yes, they have this military high tech might, thanks to the united states and to the western countries, they giving them more and more sophisticated arms to target more and more civilians and especially children, go and see the result of what they are doing, yes they are assassinated. leaders in the resistance, this is a war, we do understand it, by why do they target the areas, why do they target the civilian areas, the residential areas, why are they also targeting the fields and they are targeting with phosphorus, which like is forbidden and
6:08 am
it's not prohibited to be used during war, because this is gonna cost lot for the environment and for the whole globe, actually they are trying to do many things all together, they are trying to reach too many goals, first they want to plant a wedge between the resistance and its own people, the environment of the resistance, they want to make the price higher, high and higher against the party and against its own people in in the hope that they can make a witch between the resistance and the people, also they are hoping that this is going to make lot of discomfort and in the lebanese society generally, and we have as you have seen and as we have watched and and heard, there are voices that come from here and there that talk about the resistance and what's going on and they are trying to make kind of compromises that would endanger the dignity and the sovereignty and the continuity of lebanon as a really state and this regard i
6:09 am
would tell you we have seen what we have seen during the almost 12 months a year and we are ready for all scenarios, yes we are paying high price from our civil. and our leaders and our people, but we have other choice, we have other way but to continue to resist against this enemy. the resistance, the leadership of the resistance is assessing the situation hour by hour, day by day, and they would take the right decision, the right time, the right moment, the right way. i don't want to go into the scenarios that resistance has envisioned or that has figured out because i'm not myself a military. person, but i know that the resistance has lot of capabilities, they have lot of ways to make engagements more fruitful, but they are approaching the whole thing in a very cold brain and very cold mind, they are making the calculations, they are trying as much as they can to protect and save the civilians and
6:10 am
they are sending the strong messages to the enemy that no matter how hard you might try, because we all know the and we all heard the lead leaders of the enemies bosting that they have targeted the military might of hizballah, the rocket launchers and whatever, we continue to see the capabilities and the mightier. uh version of the resistance against the enemy, i believe, but there's there's certainly some sort of a red line somewhere, where does hisbullah define that red line and under what scenarios would that conflict escalate to a maybe full-scale war, because even though we have surpassed almost 600 civilians targeted and killed over the past four days, it's still not a full-scale war, so what is the red line that would push it there? you have just... said that the enemy has breached or has violated lot of red lines, if we may say, we are in the red line
6:11 am
breaching now by the enemy and the resistance, because we we know this kind of enemy, how savage and how brutal, how hostile, targeting the civilians, making genocide against the civilians and against the residential areas, not discriminating between the women, children, elderly, whatever, i believe the resistance know very well that the enemy has already transpassed some red lines. it is going into this kind of engagement an escalatory way, and we have seen and heard how the resistance is adding more and more settlements into the fire that is being launched by the resistance fighters, and i believe we have to have very long patience, we have to have very strong patience in order to cop with these kind of uh engagements and this kind of uh challenge
6:12 am
that the israelis are putting the israel is putting the resistance in, how this is going to unfold into an all-out war? i believe the international community has mission to do, it has always had mission and it failed to do it, but i believe we are on the verge now, we are in the process, we don't no one it will go into that, but i can't assure you that the resistance is ready for all kind of versions and scenarios, the resistance fighters are strong enough, are courageous enough, are prepared enough, we feel pain for our people, for our civilians and for this all of this damage that happened, but we cannot have it otherwise, and i'm pretty sure you get all sorts of questions all the time since you are uh part of the political uh if you will committee or the political circle of of hisbullah, but there's always this one's question that everyone. at the moment is asking, would we witness a unified regional
6:13 am
front against cionist israel? should an all-out war erupt against lebanon, something similar to what we saw in 2006, for example, how prepared is hizbullah to coordinate with other resistance factions, because we know that hisballah is prepared to defend lebanon, but will there be other fronts opening, maybe in the golen, maybe from yemen, maybe from iraq, maybe from iran, how will this form of coordination look like? you we have all heard today, today in the very early morning and after midnight about this rocket missile by the ballistic missile by the yemenese against tel aviv, and we also heard about another drone that has been sent by the iraqi resistance, we are already witnessing and seeing that the resistance axis is engaging in according to its own capabilities and its own calculations, assessments, but there is a possible third. front that could open, which is from the syrian golen. i believe yes, i mean everything is open now, it's open for
6:14 am
all accounts, for all possibilities. and how do you see that happening? i mean, the coordination that hisbullah is doing, especially after it was breaged with the uh, pagers and the walkit scandal, terrorist scandal by zianist israel, will that make it harder to communicate with other fronts as well, just like it might make it harder to communicate with its own? i could assure you one. 100% that all the vacancies that happened due to the injured people or those who raised as martyrs was filled. i could assure you that the communication process between the resistance and the fighters and the different sides of the axis is continuing a perfect way, but i believe this kind of long war has to be strategically approached, has to make very precise and delicate assessments and evaluations, so you can go step after step, and this is... what's happening now? well, it doesn't seem for sure that what comes next is very vital for the
6:15 am
peace and security of the entire region, not only of lebanon and palestine, well we have seen even, even we have seen comments from the french president macron saying that israel cannot continue to do what it did in gaza, and we have always seen that netanyahu is sabotaging all the efforts, every now and then they come into a kind of scenario that stops or make kind of cease fire. kind of trues and then netanyahu uh would uh uh sabotage it directly. i have solution for that, but we'll discuss it off the air. thank you very much professor musawi for. being with us and uh especially at these very hard times, i know how uh the responsibility is basically up to your neck at the moment with everyone else uh who is an official in this country, so thank you for giving us the time for this interview and may everyone and your family recover fast inshallah from the heinous uh terrorist attacks of zianis israel ladies and gents please stay tuned next we have resilience against deterrents.
6:16 am
in this segment we analyze the shifting dynamics between hisbollah and the israeli entity as western reports highlight conflicting perspectives on the resistance's strength and zionist israel's lack of a long-term strategy. with the stakes rising and regional players on high alert, could the next step spark a wider conflict? more details in the following report. western reports present varying perspectives on the developments in lebanon. while some exaggerate by claiming that the israeli enemy campaign has thrown hezbulah into a state of disarray, others assert that the resistance
6:17 am
still holds several cards of strength, for most among them, its vast arsenal of weapons as well as its organizational and tactical expertise shaped by a long history of adapting to the necessities of combatting the technologically advanced israeli occupation army. on another front, the us publicly spares no effort in expressing support for tel aviv, as demonstrated by pentagon spokesperson patrick ryer, who announced in a press conference that the us will deploy a small number of additional american military personnel to the middle east due to increasing tensions in the region. on the other hand, a more concealed us aspect is emerging filled with expressions of discontent with the approach of zinus israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the new york times quoted aids to us president joe biden stating that he has simply begun to acknowledge that time is running out with only four months left in his term, while the chances of reaching a ceasefire agreement and prisoner exchange deal with hamas seem slimmer than ever, as the risk of a broader
6:18 am
war is higher than it has ever been. meanwhile, recent statements from both sciencest israeli and hisballah. leaders such as netanyahu's vow to alter the balance of power in the north and deputy secretary general sheikh naim qasim's promise to commence a battle of open accounts suggest that the nature of their conflict has changed. observers believe that these remarks reflect their readiness, especially zionist israels to inflict civilian casualties as it has done over the past week with the numbers exceeding a thousand murders. military experts warn that while the expansion of fighting along the lebanese southern border is not new, the current rate of escalation is indeed concerning and if the intensity of the strikes continues, it could easily spiral into a large scale war. such a war might be devastating for lebanon for sure, but also for the zinist entity, and eventually might not even fundamentally alter the strategic equation despite the high cost it would incur, particularly from hezbulah, which
6:19 am
possesses vast rocket arsenal capable of hitting targets across zionist israel. analysts in lebanon and sure that even if heizbullah suffers heavy losses, the resistance group with its broad support base in lebanon and backing from iran, iraq, syria and yemen, could rebuild its forces within a few years and once again pose a significant threat to israeli entity existence. the most concerning factor for zionists at the moment is that the israeli entity leaders may not be considering the potential long-term consequences approaching their regime, since continued pressure on hizbullah could tricker a spiral of escalation that the israeli enemy. they ultimately regret, to discuss this issue with us from the united states of america in colorado is john jackman, american attorney, member of the american communist party and co-host of dd geopolitics, a pleasure having you with us, john, thank you very much for your time and effort, given the current dynamics and the zionist israeli apparent ability to decisively alter the
6:20 am
strategic balance despite its intense military camp. at the moment, how do you see the conflicting uh uh scenes in reshaping maybe the israeli entities regional uh deterents in the long-term after it decided to cross all red lines by targeting civilians? well mara, first it's a pleasure to be with you, it's a great honor uh you are inspiration of mine not only journalistically but also spiritually in your segment at dd geopolitics remains one of my favorites that's an honor thank you well of course of course uh but to your question uh israel's strategy to deal with regional rivals has always been predicated on escalation dominance, right? this is something that we've always seen as critical to the israeli strategy, where they compound the forces of gaza, whether it be syria or iraq into... submission and then enjoy relative periods of calm, but today, in order to maintain escalation dominance, we're seeing more and more drastic measures being taken, and i think that this explains the pager attacks in
6:21 am
part. israel is basically having to commit acts of genocide and total devastation now, not only over gaza, but also over southern lebanon, and since october 7th, israel's failed to fundamentally change the dynamic with hesperon, the northern occupied settlements, and as the quagmire and gaza has gone on and pressure is built from the international community as well as as the political instability within israel has built internally, point that i know that we'll return to in a minute, israel is increasingly seeing has a true threat, that's my impression here from the united states. now yeer lapid said it himself just last week admitting that hezballah's activities in support of the resistance has meant that total of over 60,00 citizens have not lived in the north for almost a year, to maintain this doctrine of escalation dominance now, israel feels forced to establish the... of returning settlers to the north by leveling southern lebanon as it is stated, but the future for israel in achieving this goal really does not look rosy to me, and even us leaders are now warning, my leaders, are now
6:22 am
warning that a full-scale war in lebanon would likely actually prolong the return of settlers to the north, and the us onboy himself and other diplomats have told israel this week not to risk a costly war in the north, so for their part, under the conditions of a full-scale war with hesbolah, which has weight, which has pledged that it would fight a war without constraints, um, it is not only hezballah now, but for many it appears the spirit of the resistance has been awakened, particularly now in yemen, which of course today launched missiles directly at tel aviv that penetrated the iron dome. um, so to answer your question fully, we'll have to keep eyes on iran uh, whose involvement could end israel's escalation dominance permanently over the long run. well, i certainly agree with that, but with hisbollah's sustained operations and the strategic depth uh remaining largely intact, as we saw since yesterday in the morning, they did fire a ballistic missile towards tel aviv, to what extent do you believe that the israeli entities military tactics have failed to achieve their objectives? we have seen that they have failed already uh to achieve
6:23 am
the objectives in gaza, hence why they're in a cragmire at the moment with the resistance in palestine, but what implications might this hold for the future israeli occupations doctrine in lebanon in specific? well, hesplor's attacks in support of the resistance have already created this de facto security belt inside of occupied palestine. "hezbollah also maintains a significant arsenal, and signs are that since october 7th, hezbollah has only increased its sophistication and preparedness while israel has waged its genocidal war on gaza, which you allude to. now, i think that the resilience of hamas and gaza has not only provided hezballah a blueprint, but has also provided them the confidence that they can wage a protracted war, even in the face of this brutal leveling by israeli war planes, and hezballah is also much more deeply." capabilities of its own uh and it's only equipped with offensive and deterrance brought a fraction of those capabilities to bear so far. now i want to summarize some of
6:24 am
those capabilities to just get an idea of how deep hezballah's capabilities really are. there's short-range rockets which it has in the thousands. it has medium range missiles, long range missils including 110s and zill zols 2s, scud missiles, precision guided missiles, anti-tank guided missiles, as well as air defense systems, drones, naval capabilities like anti-ship missiles and even uh supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, as well as manpads, and to go with it, a active personnel of nearly 30, as well as roughly the same number of reservists, so when it comes to israel's military doctrine, i think that we have to keep in mind that israel is going to try to apply what it's done so far in gaza, which has not been successful, to capacity in lebanon that is far greater, and i think... we also have to keep some deeper dynamics in mind as well, which is the relationship between, for example, russia and iran as well as russia and yemen. because while the us is green lighting ukraine's use
6:25 am
of nato supplied long-range uh missile systems into russia, that russia would in turn arm the rivals of the united states, so i think that all of this kind of sets to the stage for a fundamentally different dynamic than we've seen over the course of the last several decades. well, john, as many western analysts hint a potential. this surray between the regime in the united states of america and the zionist israeli leadership and within it itself, within the zionist israeli leadership itself, as we have seen over the past couple weeks, could we be witnessing some sort of pivotal moment for uh hizbullah's resilience not only undermining zinus israel's regional strategy, but also maybe shifting the broader geopolitical landscape in favor of the axis of resistance as things escalate internally inside zinist israel, well it's another...
6:26 am
largely united in its aggression against the resistance, it's important to keep in mind of the context that not only has israel seen record breaking anti-government protests since october 7th, but over the last five years they've also held six elections, but hez efforts have definitely created that opening for a further development of both turmoil in the domestic political landscape, for example where israel israelis were actually protesting, today and yemen launched missiles and the use uh and for israelis for example who are living in tel aviv who have felt somewhat insulated from the war, they're now seeing prospect of these missiles flying into their backyards and sirens disturbing their daily lives, which brings the war of course to their homes uh and so i think this changes the dynamics fundamentally in israel and we'll really see what their metal is domestically, but in the international arena,
6:27 am
which i think your question really hits on, again, i think our eyes shift toward iran for a fundamental rebalancing, and we're looking for signs about what could potentially becoming just this week at the un general assembly gathering. iran said that the killing of the hamas leader over a month ago would not go, would not go unanswered, so i think that we don't have the answers to these questions of course, and time will tell, but what i what i can say is that it's clear from the broader geopolitical dynamics that the broad sweep of history is against israel, appears increasingly desperate and insecure in its alliances. well, uh, john jackman, american earney, member of the american communist party and host of the dd geopolitics, i want to thank you very much for your time and contribution to our show. it's been a pleasure having you uh john, ladies and gents, thank you very much for uh joining us uh right here on press tv's the medi stream, please do follow our handle on telegram and on x as well. uh, we can't find us on youtube because youtube took us uh out
6:28 am
a long time ago, as it... uh always does for the voices that bring real facts from the ground as we do right here on press tv's them stream salam alaikum. "the news was like a thunderbolt that we lost a great leader in the resistance whom we were proud of, who defended the palestinian people, we are very sad about the loss of course we are sad, may god have mercy on him, he was standing with us, with the palestinian people, gaza and lebanon have now become one thing in one blood, may god give them patience and may god have mercy on him. "this
6:29 am
is a great loss for islamic nations and the arab world and a great loss for the palestinian people, especially for gaza. we as displaced people and as palestinians have lost thousands of marters. the lebanese people are also our partners in this battle. we were very sad, of course, because he supported us lot, the palestinian people. stood with us lot, and because he stood with us and every person who stands with the..." and israel will be destroyed, israel is finished for sure, the oppressor will go. it is certainly the fault of islamic countries, because as our leader said today in his message, this rabbit dug is taken advantage. if it don't attack, it will attempt to invade
6:30 am
all islamic countries. of course we were deeply sad when we heard the news just like when we heard the news of general solomonni's death. your headlines on press tv. iran's leader says the resistance front will deal more crushing blows on the decaying body of the zanist regime following the martydom of the hizballah leader. the leader of yemen's ansur allah movement says israel will not be able to break the resistance fronts will by assassinating.
