forces, earlier the lebanese resistance fended off israeli troops trying to force into the southern lebanese town of al- adis. hasbullah has also carried out retaliatory drone strikes targeting israeli forces in the occupied palestinian territories. hasbullah 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 a fresh airstrikes on lebanon as well, including a palestinian refugee camp in 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. lebanon, israeli forces in lebanon. have targeted the martter

salah gandura hospital in the city of bent jubel injuring at least nine of the medics. the regime's military has also struck mask adding to the growing list of civilian infrastructure it has targeted. the israeli warplanes also continue targeting different areas of beyrut, including the vicinity of the raffik hariri international airport, leaving more civilians dead. dead and injured. lebanon's health ministry says over 2,000 people have been killed so far in israeli attacks including 127 children and 261 women. for more details, we're joined by our correspondent mariam sal from beirot. mariam, give us an update. maria,

our correspondent mariam sal will be with us shortly live from beirot, mariam, yes please, your question, okay, if you could please give of us some updates regarding the latest israeli strikes in lebanon. well this reached a state where we really cannot uh put together all the areas which are being targeted, massive strikes from the israelis in south lebanon as well as in the bakar region and in the southern suburbs of suburbs of beirut has been of course subject to the destruction of many of its residential buildings into the areas of the ways for example and we heard

from the authorities that had to check on those areas that they um we have we have. for example, the targeting of the villages of their sirayan as well as the hospital, which is the governmental hospital and one of the very few function hospitals in south lebanon, there were also direct attacks on the areas of which is not a border town, of course this is in addition to the israeli targeting of the border villages and towns that are chasing to the border like and "we also know that the brajni area has been subject to at least four different shelling in the version specifically, but we had at least 20 strikes in only matter of hours, so that is in itself also unprecedented when it comes to the

number of targeting in areas that seem to be sporotic, dispersed areas, this is different than from what we saw in 2006 where there was a focus on the center." the southern suburbs of beirut, now you see that even old neighborhoods, some buildings are over decades old, they had not been touched even during the occupation of the israeli regime, and so it is, it is obvious that the israelis are going for a systematic destruction of all the areas which include the support of ground, the supportive people of the resistance. mainly of course in the southern in south lebanon but also on the southern s of beirot and the bikar region, we know that at least two people have been killed in one the strikes in the japan, we also had another paramedic today that was killed in the area of zone, which is in addition to yesterday's

massacer of the paramedics, one ambulance alone, there was seven paramedics that... were killed right next to hospital in majayun and that led to the evacuation of the whole hospital, we also have of course the hospital which i said is very close to one of the shelling, it's one of the very few hospitals that remain operational in south lebanon and so we're expecting that the number of hospitals that are evacuated and are no longer available to give assistance to the necessary assistance to the injured or murders um is increasing day by day um we also have direct uh targeting of areas which are media for for media offices and so on, they have been targeted as well, operations of course have not stopped, we know that there was several launching of rockets in addition to the combat, which is face to face

combat between has resistance fighters and the israeli occupation forces that are attempting to infiltrate the border. the last one we had, of course made it clear still in the statements that this is in support of the palestinian resistance and the people of palestine as well as in retaliation for the barbaric as they said crimes against the towns and villages in south all of lebanon actually and the targeting of civilians as the law that declare that they targeted the barrass of and so is definitely working on more than one frontiere, not only stopping the the forces that have attempted to to launch incursions into labanon, but also still launching rockets towards further areas as well as the goal on heights. we also know that hasbullah uh they launch targeted

resettlement of down with very heavy uh salvo of rockets, big number of rockets, sometimes they do not specify the number of rockets the israelies were talking about and the last two hours alone there were over 100 rockets and so so we have big number of rockets in addition to the targeting of the occupied city of safad with the rockets and did not always mention the type of rockets they are using, however when they targeted the settlement of sasa they said that they used f two rockets uh this time uh not folk one rocket, however they targeted also the ramo david airport and there ramo david is a military base of course it comprises especially the the airport and terminals that are used by the israeli fighter jets and drones and helicopters. this base has not been target, it's not the first time that they target this base, but it also comes a time that after the israelis launch very heavy shelling on the southern sbullah

retaliated by launching that uh their target their their rocket sword david's military base which lies in the north of the city of... and so of course these it seems that has definitely continued with their attacks to target tanks and the forces that are adjacent to the border they continue to the medium range rockets and we might expect in the next few days or another round of longer range rockets being launched towards areas perhaps in the center of the israel. thank you very much. our correspondent mari am joining us live from beirot with the latest. now political commentator naser mashni says that israel is opening up new front in lebanon to turn the world's attention to beirot so that it can ratch. its genocidal campaign against palestinians. you're 100%

right, what we are seeing in lebanon is israel's standard playbook. the playbook has been perfected on the occupied palestinian peoples all over historic palestine, but the final chapter was written. in gaza since october, where the world has stood by and allowed israel to reak havoc in a fascist, genocidal, blood thirsty manner, par excellence, level of savagery, no one on earth has ever seen before, this standard playbook now has criminalized, has dehumanized the population that is now uh happening in lebanon from schools to hospitals to ambulances just. uh overnight and we only have to look at what happened to gazze in the past one year to know what's

going to happen to lebanon. we should also remember what israel does when it's in its standard playbook is that when it opens up a front like with lebanon, all eyes go to lebanon, and that's when they ratchet up another level in palestine, and we saw overnight the use of fighter jet in the west bank in the occupied west bank in tulkam. where missiles are fired a cafe and 18 marters, 18 marters uh ascended to heaven. this is just shameful that the west continues, the west continues to allow this psychotic regime to exist in the way that it does, and for it to do what it does. now iran's foreign minister has met with syrian president bashar al-assad in damascus during his official... visit to the syrian arab republic. during the meeting, abbas sarakchi
