worldwide with protesters announcing the israeli genocide in gaza, hello and welcome, you're watching world news on press tv, coming to you live from our headquarters in tehran, thank you for joining us, my name is gisumi shah ahmadi and these are top stories this hour. lebanon's hazbullah resistance movement says it has of launched a barrage of missiles targeting an israeli base near the northern occupied city of haifa. hasballah said in a statement that an israeli makava tank was also hit while it was advancing towards the maroon forest area in southern lebanon. the attack inflicted casualties upon the regime's forces. earlier, the lebanese resistance fended off israeli troops trying to... force into the southern

lebanese town of al-adesa, hazballah also carried out retaliatory drone strikes targeting israeli forces in the occupied palestinian territories. hasbolah has repeatedly asserted that its attacks are in response to israeli brutal air and artillery strikes on lebanese towns and villages that have caused enormous civilian casualties. "and israel has launched fresh air straks on lebanon, including a palestinian refugee camp in the northern part of the arab country causing more death and destruction. the palestinian resistance movement, hamas says several of its commanders and their family members were killed in the regime strike. in southern lebanon, israeli forces targeted martter salak gandura hospital in the city of bentabil, and at least nine medical staff were killed. the regime's military has..."

also struck mosk adding to the growing list of civilian infrastructure it has targeted, the israeli war planes also continue targeting different areas of bayrut, including the vicinity of rafik hariri, international airport, leaving more civilians dead and injured. lebanon's health ministry says over 2,0 people have been killed so far in israel's attacks including 127 children and 261 women. and abraham's foreign minister has met with syrian president bashar al-assad in damascus during his official visit to the syrian arab republic. before a meeting with syria's president she held talks with the country's foreign minister stressing the urgency of sess fire in lebanon and gaza. he called on the international community to take action to stop what he described as israel's ongoing crimes in beirot, southern left.

leban and gaza. she warned that israel's continued actions are obstructing efforts to achieve sease fire. prior to his visit to syria. arrokchi met with the lebanese officials in beirot where he warned that any israeli attack on iran would be met with a stronger response from tehran. he also highlighted that iran in its missile strike on israel avoided targeting civilians in contrast to israel's repeated attacks on civilians in lebanon and gaza. now to discuss that further, we're joined by our colleague mariam azarche from the iran desk here at pressive headquarters. thank you very much mariam for joining us. abasadoqchi's trip at this point in time uh considering the israeli threats and of course only few days ago iran launched a success a successful attack on israel. uh dubbed operation true promise to

uh, it's quite a significant time to visit beirot, which is still under constant bombardment by israel isn't it? yes it is, in fact the night, i mean the very night before he arrived in lebanon, uh, bayrud had some of the heaviest bombings, uh, i mean, they are, they have been dropping tons of bombs over beirut, and i mean, not to mention, you know, it's what a breach of international law, what basically is invasion of another country by design this regime, but of course, you know, we have gotten used to all of this be being allowed to go on uh, in the uh basically support with the support of the western hijamonic front and the, silence uh of the international organizations, but what iran did, i mean with iran's foreign minister going there a time like this, showing support for the uh basically for the lebanese people, for hisbollah, who are actually basically lebanese resistance, and you can't really

separate the you, lebanese people from hizballah, and they went there with 10 tons of um food and medicine items and um which i mean he when he was interviewed actually. lot of journalists were actually surprised that he, mean it takes a lot to be to have the courage to go there and also to know that basically designist regime will uh potentially not dare to commit any crimes against iranian officials following the major retaliation it received for the assassination of commander abbasin furushan sayid hassan nasrullah and assassination of ismail haniah on iranian soil. well you talked about courage and i think in that note, on that note, yesterday's friday prayers is also something worthy to discuss, the leader of arran's islamic revolution said ali khamenei appeared himself in person in public to lead the friday prayers, now the last time the

leader appeared as a leader of the friday prayers was about five years ago, four years and eight months to be precise. that was when general qasim sulaymani was martered by the us, so the fact that we had the leader appearing in public, and then we also had very huge crowd gathering at tehran's grand masala, all the streets leading to the masala was also jam-packed with people who attended the friday prayers. tell us more about the significance of that. i mean, following iran's retaliation, i mean, over h, i mean, at least some 18. ballistic missiles hit uh israeli air bases, hit hit the military bases, hit the musad headquarters and they caus significant damage, of course because of the major resign censorship, you will not hear about all the iof soldiers and other potentially commanders that were killed uh

during iran's retaliatory attack, but i mean only three days following the attack, which was iran's biggest response so far, because iran already retaliated one time, when they hit the iranian consulate in syria, but uh, what what iran did, i mean just three days before the speech, it was iran's biggest retaliatory attack against the zianist regime uh causing major, i mean not only major destruction to the uh basically to the military basis of the zionist regime, but also really destroying this whole myth of you know the invincible uh zianist regime that you know it actually made it, i mean even in... "the chechenian leader also talked about the nato has been uh threatening russia all this time with uh the with all their forces and you know the us and and the zionists, but now iran showed that you know basically you can actually they're not invincible, you can retaliate, you can attack

and uh what happened was only three days later, iran's leader of the revolution goes to this open area, this open space, it's a very very clear target, he is 85 years. old, but he also brings every one of his sons were also participating, so you know for those who were who were you know saying maybe he was older, maybe he didn't have his own family there, his entire family were there, his his four sons were in the event, um, he participated, and when he called on people, mean these are iranians from, it's it's not, it was not iranian commanders and soldiers, it was, mean they also were participating, but it was iranian women and... children and we had these mothers bringing in the their babies, mean they could have at least left the babies with someone, you know, but they came in with their children, they came in with their babies, they came in, they came in young and old, there were people a wheelchair, there was this old woman who you know came in a hospital bed basically because

she really wanted to be there because of the leader said, and we had people participating also from from different cities they arrived in tehran, not to mention all the people who went to uh different cities in iran attended friday prayers and watched the and listened to the speech of iran's leader of the revolution, so not only was the courage of the leader himself to come out and participate, but also... all of these followers showing that basically this is the source of power of the iranian resistance, of course iran's ballistic missiles are advanced, of course they have shown that they can hit the target uh precisely and cause as much damage as essential for todos military bases, but the backbone of the resistance generally um especially the resistance front is the people, so with all these millions of people coming out, you know, and uh basically lot of them who could not come out basically... uh listening everybody listening for what the leader had to say uh, this is

this is major show of strength for the resistance, this is where even if designist regime was not you know a fraction of basically maybe one% about a little over a per of iran's uh size or population, you know we have iran has over 77 million more people uh, but it's it's that they are definitely they're definitely out. they're out iran, you know, they're definitely uh outsizes and outnumbers by iranians and iranians show have shown that they support their leader, so we had this leader who came out and what he did not do, he did not come out and threaten everyone, what he did, he came out and he said, look, what we did was legal, it was legal uh based on it was it was logical, it was legal, it even went with the within the rules of the united nations, and of course he mentioned that, these are not the un rules are not the rules we had any role in in making, however it was within self-defense,

so what iran did was legal and logical, what hamas did with the al-aqsa flot operation, that was legal and logical, that was self-defense, and he called on the people, what he did from the very beginning, he started talking about, he started with the verse of the quran, the verse of the quran was talking about uh muslims and the faithful uniting and supporting each other. and then he went on from there to talk about basically the common enemy of this region that we have all of these different uh basically different resistance countries that the us and the colonialists and the imperialist they may use different methods in different countries and he mentioned you know at times with smile at times with bomb at times with agreements you know they basically they have different ways of trying to colonize these uh countries but what he said is that 'if any nation does not help the other nation, they are the the next victims themselves, that they are trying to

basically he talked about the divide and conquer policy and that if and he said if the muslim nations do not unite and they do not you know support back each other up, they will all fall victims and this is the plan of the imperialist, this is the plan of the colonialist, he talked about the resistance pushing back the zinist regime 70 years because he said some 70 years ago ' what the the concern the zionist regime had was was an existential concern, they were worried about you know that they they could be basically removed from the region considering they were not native to the region and they were basically the bas bastard child of colonialist in the region so what what he did basic what he said basically is that now designist regime has the same concern has the same existential existential concern and it's been pushed back by seven and the the the most important, some of the most important

points that he made was about the muslim unity, basically that people getting together, and and what he also did, i mean this is really interesting, because what iran has done so far from the beginning with supporting the resistance, each resistance front has its own leader and each leader decides for themselves, so they have been tries to call them iran's proxies, but what we see is that they make their individual decisions, but they are supporting each other, they're backing each other up, and the leader very much basically talked about that, and um, he he also said that, he also talked about, he also separately addressed the uh, our arab brothers in lebanon in palestine, and he had that speech in arabic, which lot of commentators were talking about what a beautiful arabic he also spoke, and and he talked about say hasan nasullah and he talked about his influence in the region and what he did not do, i mean we understand the main

ideology of resistance, what made this whole resistance possible, was the school of thought of imam hussein, was the school of thought of death with dignity is better in islam than life with humiliation, but even though even with the success of this ideology, hit it the iranian basically resistance has not enforced that ideology over anyone, iran has not tried to basically take... over the authority of any other country, he did not, you know, with with all the we have the different arab leaders in the world who are supporting designist regime, but he didn't even imam khamini did. even point a finger at those people, he basically talked to the people, he talked about the importance of having each other's backs, muslims supporting each other, muslims not allowing uh the western front to divide and conquer, and basically showing that you can, we can coexist with our different ideologies, with our different beliefs, we can coexist

and and have our separate opinion and have our separate leaders too, but at the same time stand with each other, in the face of colonialism and imperialism. thank you very much, our colleague mariam from precives iran desk. moving on, a pro- palestinian rally has been held in the south african city of cape town with demonstrations denouncing the ongoing genocide in the gaza strip. thousands of people took to the streets carrying palestinian flags and chanting anti-israeli slogans, they also called for an end to the genocide and gaza, this is said to be the largest pro-palestine protest in south africa since the israeli regime launched its war on gaza in october last year. the african country also launched a petition against the israeli bloodshed of palestinians at the international court of justice amid the public outrage worldwide. several countries later joined pretoria's legal bidd to bring a

tel aviv regime to account for its war crimes and crimes against humanity. meanwhile, demonstrators have also taken to the streets the austrian capital to express their solidarity with people of lebanon and palestine. protesters in vienna chanted. down down with israel and wave the palestinian and lebanese flags, they carried signs demanding immediate end to israeli air strikes. demonstrators condemned israel's war crimes in gaza and lebanon and called for international action to reign in the rishi.

happening right now, pro- palestine protesters have taken to the streets of the british capital, calling for an end to the israeli crimes against palestinians and lebanese people. let's cross over to our correspondent in london site pura was ready to bring us up to speed on the anti-israel rally site. yes, that's exactly what is happening as you described, the 20th national demonstration to express solidarity with the palestinians and of course with the lebanese, um, thousands of people have once again descended upon central london, i speak to you within walking distance of the prime

minister, kier starmer's residence in office number 10 downing street, as speaker after speaker. take to the podium to the stage to address the massive crowd in front of them. um, this supports, um, the reason behind this, as with the previous demonstrations over the past year, we want to mark the first anniversary of the start of the israeli genocidal campaign aided and embedded by united states, germany, the uk and all the rest of them, um, the call here, for one is a sease fire, number two that the uk um stop and withdraw its military diplomatic um and economic support for the israeli regime, there's a lot of palpable anger and frustration really among members of the crowd that you see behind me a lot of that directed

specifically at the prime minister kier starmer and his uh foreign secretary david lamy for being paying. service in the words of some of the people people i've talked to peace in the in least as israel expands its aggression and its terrorism across um that region what they want to see as they say is the stop to the two way arms trade between um the uk and the israeli regime they want israeli own companies or british companies that produce parts that are being used by the israeli. military to stop, they want those companies to either stop doing that or be shut down um all together, they want the uk to stop it spy machines using it. the royal air force secretaries base in cyprus, massive uh base there, that out of which the uk has been running spy missions, intelligence

gathered according to a declassified uk from those missions, shared with israeli military used of course to bomb the gaza strip into was helscape that has it has become um one year on, but despite all of this pressure from the members of the public who remain uh by and large resolutely on the side of the palestinians and on the side of those who are seeking justice and freedom for the palestinian people, the fact remains that the uk government continues to support the israeli military, but at the same time, as i say, um, more than half of britains, according to the latest calls continue to support the palestinians and also call uh for a cease fire there, and these are people on and both sides of the political divide, right wingers and right and left are calling for immediate cheese fire and for the uk government to stop supporting the israeli

regime and it's um massacre of palestinians and also its aggression against lebanon, syria, yemen and other countries in in our region, there is lot of um jubilation, i would say um among the people as well in at the fact that iran has taken action recently to try um and deter israel from carrying on with its genocide um in gaza and also perhaps another genocide if we were to quote the secretary general of the united nations antonio guiter warning recently that lebanon was on the brink of... another gaza, there is lot of happiness here, the act, the action that iran has taken has given people a lot of

heart that some countries, someone has stood up and and taking meaningful action, unlike the western neighbors and backers of the israeli regime to try and put into it all, thank you very much, that was our correspondent said reporting, live from london, as you can see in the live images that we're receiving right now, another pro palestine rally is underway in the british capital, you can see protesters staging a sit in, apparently according to the images that we're receiving, denouncing the israeli. crimes in gaza and in lebanon, now these protesters are also calling for immediate end

to israeli crimes, they are demanding sease fire, you can see some of them being arrested and taken away by police officers, so this pro- palestine protest has been... met with police violence and the people that you see here in these images have actually been arrested by police or being taken away one by one. these are very young protesters, as you can see, they have been arrested by the uk police for taking part in an anti-israel pro- palestine protest, they were also wearing. symbols of support for the palestinians such as the cafia scarf as you can see around the neck of one of them and a similar pattern on

the head of the other. these are the protesters that have been arrested by uk police for taking part in this demonstration in the uk. capital london. these are protesters that have been denouncing israel's crimes in gaza and lebanon, the bombing of civilian areas, killing women and children, and what they have been arrested for is simply demanding a ceasefire and... as an end to israeli crimes in palestine and lebanon, you can see these protesters sitting down on

the street surrounded by security forces, these protesters have been taking part in demonstration today, calling an end to israeli crimes against palestine, lebanon, they have also been calling on the british government to... to halt its arms sales to the israeli regime, stopping supplying those arms and weapons. that is basically the message that they have been trying to get across as they try to make their voices heard a one of the countries, western countries that advocates democracy and freedom of speech and freedom of expression, you can see

these... protesters that have been arrested by the uk police, they are sitting there surrounded by security forces and they're being a way to being taken away one by one. we'll be bringing you more details on that protest in london and some updates from our correspondent site pura who is stationed there, and with that we come to the end of this edition of world news on press tv. thank you for watching. october 7th, 2023, defining moment in the history of the region, a breaking point,

bismillah. the day gaza broke free from its prison, natural response to decades of occupation and oppression. a meticulous operation, unmatched sophistication. it surprised israel, then shocked it, then rocked it. it brought to the foreground. the plight of the forgotten, pipotal shift in the fight for freedom and dignity. it was in revenge for innocent blood. it was operation at flood.

پدرم یه جنگ اعراب و اسرائیل رو همیشه تو خونه روایت می کرد. از ۶ ساله آرزو داشتم که اسرائیل رو نابود کنه. آره این بزرگ ترین آرزوی من بوده از کودکی. یعنی این همیشه بام بوده است. استراتژی انقلاب اسلامی هم مح و نابودیه رژیم جعلی صهیونیست و انشاالله تو این راه به شهادتو رسید.

took israel off guard, playing the victim, the regime called it an... unprovoked attack, but did hamas really attack the regime out of the blue with no good reason? gaza strip. انا بدي اختم بكلام معنوي شوفوا نحن بثقافتنا نؤمن بالله عز وجل وان الله سبحانه وتعالى بيده ملكوت السماوات والارض وكل شيء في يد الله سبحانه وتعالى ونحن بنعتبر لو انه عم نقوم

تكليفنا نحن عباده ونعبده نعبده في الصلاه ونعبده في الجهاد وعندما نطيعه ونعبده نكون جندا له وعندما نكون له نصبح جزءا من جنوده في الوجود وفي هذا الكون وما يعلم جنود ربك الا هو وما يعلم جنود ربك الا هو انتم تخوضون معركه خائبه فاشله لن تؤدي الى اي نتيجه القتل يزيدنا وعيا وعنادا واصرارا.

imagine waking up every day, knowing that the day before you have murdered tens, if not hundreds of people, and that your mission for the day is to do the same. now, imagine if you have been doing that every day for the past year, well that is what is really officials and regime forces. in turn have been doing for a whole year, the october 7, one-year anniversary. that is what we'll be looking at in today's program, the atrocities that have happened, but more importantly, how the existential threat to the israeli regime, aside from the death and the...
