2:31 am
you're watching press tv world news with me ky here in iranian capital tehran, welcome to the program. the lebanese resistant movement hisbollah has hit israel's carmel base in hefa causing chaos and casualties in the israeli occupied city, isballah said the base was targeted but fadi won missiles, adding that the attack was carried out in response to israel's aggression and crimes against civilians. according to the israeli military, at least 15 missiles were fired from southern lebanon toward areas and northern occupied palestinian territories, including hefa. at
2:32 am
these six israels have been injured in the attack, there are also reports that the restaurant in haifa has suffered a direct hit. the israely military presses ahead with its aerial attacks across southern lebanon more than two weeks into the regime's aggression against the arab country. in beirut israels targeted several areas, including a gas station. in the daha area, there was no immediate. report of casualties, the israeli military also struck qamatia in central lebanon, leaving at least six people dead and number of others injured. the regime says it's attacks which have intensified in recent weeks target weapon depots and military infrastructure, belonging to hisbolah, lebanon's health ministry says over 2,0 people have so far been killed in israeli attack since last october, most of them in the recent sp'. of airstricks. now to give
2:33 am
you more insight on the matter, we are joined by yeeves angler. he's an author and a political activist from montreal. mr. engler, welcome to the program, i hope you're well. please share with us your initial thoughts on the recent tittat attacks between lebanon and the israeli regime. well clearly uh israel is uh ramping up its campaign against uh lebanese uh i mean it's a terror campaign it uh absolutely uh violates international law in so many different ways blowing up tunnels roads uh killing uh dozens and dozens of medical workers this uh you know the the double tap bombings where they those who were trying to rescue people who who been uh maybe
2:34 am
under the rubble uh killing them um and has been seriously weakened there's no doubt about that in my mind but it hasn't been destroyed far from that and uh it's still able to uh uh you know resist this uh murderous ethno supremacist uh zionist uh force which is very powerful military force um but uh the big picture here is is that this is level of destruction already in this short period of time in lebanon that is uh that is remarkable and it's in large part because the principal powers in the world have um enabled uh these types of crimes over the past year uh in gaza that's absolutely right uh now considering the missile strikes deep into hafa how affected do you believe hisbolah's military strategy is in shifting the best of power between israel and because
2:35 am
the israelis were targeting so many of the commanders of hisb, they thought that these are going to weaken his... right now you can see doing the same thing that they were doing during the whole year, so what are your thoughts on the matter? well, i think it's clear that the killing so much of the senior leadership of hezbillah has weakened the organization, it would be impossible for any organization, the best most decentralized organization, most sort of the most planning you could do for this type of scenario, which clearly has done, they knew that israel was you know likely to assassinate different top people and was trying to do that and all that um, but it's still, it still has weaken hezbollah, now it hasn't destroyed from what we understand most of hezbulah's uh weaponry, so it's ability to still launch lots of
2:36 am
rockets into israel, and and they they've been fairly cautious what they've done so far, um, but so yeah, so i mean, the fact that i don't believe... that netanyahu uh really believes or his main objective of this operation in in in lebanon is to return the 60-7 uh israelis to their homes um on the border that that i don't think is that was never that's that's more of the the sort of propaganda to justify what they're doing those people who are displaced are a problem economic political. whole problem for israel, for the government, but that's not really what they're doing, what they're doing here, i think is trying to destroy uh uh hezballah in part because hezballah has acted in solidarity with um with palestinians being
2:37 am
genocided in in gaza, and the reports have come out now showing that very clearly in the american corporate media in the u.s. that... nasrala uh his basic refusal to to uh agree to a cease fire to to disconnect the the launching of of of weapons into israel from from lebanon uh in solidarity with those being attacked in gaza that's why they finally that was what kind of uh clinched uh the assassination plan that they didn't think that he was going to conceed the americans are putting pressure on hezball to do that uh so i so i think that's um, you know, that's uh, one dynamic, and the fact that has able to continue that is of course, um, a problem for, uh, count, runs counter to one of the aims of of netanyahu, but i think the aims are here a little bit bigger, i think the aim here is first of all to drastically weaken
2:38 am
hezballah, but also i think to to start a war. i mean, i think i think the maximalist aim here for for uh netanyahu is to drag the us into a war with iran and... uh all right, but why ? so sorry to interrupt you, but you were moving towards the direction of my next question, why would natanyahu want to start a bigger war in the region? well, netanyahu has a personal uh interest, netanyahu wants to, first of all, he's he's gotten polling already shows that he's had huge boost over the past two weeks right, all the, the different successful from the pager attacked and killing a nasarala, that's been that's been a real big boost, and that israeli... public even before that began, the israely public wanted to go at lebanon, so so that's you know that, and obviously alongside his whole corruption charger, so he wants to accept, i think that the the israeli um from a broader geostrategic israeli perspective,
2:39 am
first of all the principle of crushing an organization its border that was linking uh their their... you know firing of of rockets to the the holocaust in gaza, that that's that, the zionism, the israeli state has huge self-interest in in not accepting that, and that goes to it, the whole notion of its deterrents and its ability to just terror terrify everyone in the region, that's that's the central kind of basis of its of its modus operandi, so so you know delivering huge blow to hezballah in that context is important. and then if you go bigger into you know the you the israel in the us, israel principally, but i think the us as well, have an interest in in weakening the access of resistance, they have a we, they have an interest in weakening iran, they have an interest in in um obviously moving things back towards the you know abraham accords uh direction, they
2:40 am
were trying to push uh you know an agreement with saudi arabia and and to you know further sell out the the um uh palestinians and that was partly a ' it target iran, it was partly about you, quote and quote american security agreement with saudi arabia to target iran to protect saudi arabia from iran or the alleged threat from iran um so so the the a broader level israel has that interest and the us has that interest and so um delivering you know this blow and i clearly you know let's be clear that the the israelies did have um they got into the uh hezbillah communications they've apparently had um some of this walkie talkie stuff going back as maybe as as early as 2015 so so they knew they had the they had kind of theyd infiltrated the organiz um and so they they took the push, they they you know they tried it, we will see where this is
2:41 am
this is successful, i mean it's been i think successful in a short term for the for the israelis, we will see if they have the broader success, i think they're going to have less and less success the more they move in the ground, that's really clear that that hezbillah well organized to fight them on the ground, but they have such air superiority um that they are able to continue to just assassinate uh the leadership of... of of hezbalah um, you know, where this all goes, i don't think we know, but clearly um, i think israel wants to uh uh, wants to go, you know, maximalist and you know, attack major target in iran, and then hope to, i hope iran responds and then hope to bring the americans in, that's right, thank you so much, that was yeeves angler, author and political act activist from montreal, now it's day 366 of the... genocide in gaza, the israeli military continues to pound the blockaded territory with more air and artillery strikes and yet
2:42 am
another massacer the regime's military bomb and mosque housing this place palestinians in detroit balas central gaza, leaving at least 26 people killed, nearly 100 others were injured in the attack also. the palestinian resistant movement hamas is strongly condemned the attack saying the massacre amounts to war crimes with american cover. israel planes also targeted areas in the jabalya refugee cam as well as baitul lahya in northern gaza, leaving several palestinians dead and injured. the regime's artillery is also shelling areas in gaza indiscriminately. the israely aggression on gaza began in october last year. since then, more than 41,800 palestinians have been killed and nearly 97 thousand others injured. our correspondent motian joined us earlier. from the city of dirul balah in central gaza with more details on israeli attacks. let's
2:43 am
take a lesson. it's actually the northern part of gaza strip is still the focal area of the israeli genocidal attacks targeting elsewhere in gaza. as you know the israelition forces are still carrying out their ground offensive against the jabal refugee camp particularly the eastern part of the refugee camp. we are talking about continuous and heavy bombardments that are still heading uh. various parts of that area targeting the palestinian residential buildings and as you know the last night was horrifying for the palestinian people were as at least 30 palestinian civilians have been reportedly killed when the israel incubation forces impacked on carrying out that ground offensive but the israel shining is still heading is still maintained heavily against those areas and as you know the palestinian people there are still a trapped under this continuous and heavy bombardments of the israel incubation forces and they are still being starved by the israel incubation forces which are still preventing an entry of the humanitarian supplies to the people are still
2:44 am
trapped there, the main reason behind this genocidal attack and this ground offensive carried out against jabal refugee camp is to push the palestinian people to evacuate that refugee camp, it is the second time in a row for the israelic evition forces to carry out such a brutal ground offensive against jabal refugee camp, if you still remember that over the past three months the israel actuation forces carried out one of the most horrifying and brutal ground offensives. was a wide refugee camp and it left the entire refugee camp completely destroyed and devastated as israel's genocidal war against gaza continues unabated, the palestinians in the besieged this trip still show matchless resilience in the face of the daily horrors imposed on them. press tv correspondent moti abusabe reports. it will go down in box that palestinian people. gaza faced one of the most horrifying genocidal wars that have ever been waged against any people throughout
2:45 am
history and remained fast in their land. undoubtedly the palestinian people are still steadfast. this brutal war on gaza is a continuation of the israeli massacres committed during the first nakba in 1948. it is not surprising for the israel occupation to commit these crimes, however we palestinians are resilient enough to survive and overcome the agonizing aftermaths of this war. the opposite scene of this staggering. scale of masskilling and destruction is the scene of resilience that has begun to unfold since the first days of the genocide in gaza. this astonishing resilience of the people stems from the unwavoring belief they have in their right to freedom and dignity. i have lost 18 members of my family. for us as
2:46 am
palestinian people, we have no choice but to resist and remain steadfast. simply because we are the real owners of this land, we clearly understand that the israeli occupation wants to push us to leave and load life in this territory, but this is not going to happen, at the end of the day we will prevail. the palestinian people have realized from the beginning of their struggle that the undeclared objective of israel is to make staying and living in the strip unbearable for them, the world still shrugs of the israeli atrocities against palestinians, the resilience of the palestinian people in gaza amid the ongoing genocide and destruction offers a concrete evidence that the palestinian people are the real indigenous of this land. press tv, the middle area of gaza strip.

palestinians, as israel's inhumane policies continue to tighten grip over palestinian land and resource. as the war on gaza rolls into its second year, global calls for accountability grow louder, the one movement that has surged into influence during this time is the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign bds, a grassroots people's initiative aimed to pressuring israel to comply with international law through economic and cultural boycots, since it's launch in 2000. five the bds has involved into global force and amed the ongoing assault on gaza, its relevance and impact have become more profound. this approach is crucial in isolating and weakening israel, stripping it of legitimacy and curbing its regional ambitions. israel seeks dominance in west asia through diplomacy, technology and industry, but boycots and sanctions can
2:49 am
hinder its move. recently, israel allocated over 500 million dollars to counter the international impact of the boycott movement, as a peaceful resistance, boycott unites justice seeking people from all backgrounds, making it a key tool which can be exercised by average individuals across the world against the israeli aggression. in 2023, the bds campaign targeted companies like puma and helu at packard for profiting from the occupation. over 200 organizations called for puma's divestment and 22% of european universities backed bds pulling millions from companies involved in israeli settlements, major firms like ben and jerry's and gfrs ended operations in the occupied territories and european pension funds divested billions from israeli banks tied to the regime settlement expansion. there has been progress in the boycott movement, but the occupation
2:50 am
persists because it remains profitable with little international accountability or effective sanctions, while improvements. are noticeable, more effort is needed. the boycott was once more wide-spread, but now there's a growing popular boycott in arab and muslim countries, which we hope continues as the true nature of the occupation becomes clearer. but despite its growing momentum, the bds movement has not been without opposition. governments including the united states and germany have passed anti-bds legislations labeling the movement anti-semitic, accusation denied by its supporters. as israel's military operation. in gaza escalate, the influence of the bds movement has reached new heights. it's no longer just a protest, it's a global response to what many see as human rights violations, and the... pressure is mounting on companies and governments alike. hamed reporting for press tv. ramallah. iran's president says his
2:51 am
country's recent missile strike against israel was aimed at containing the brutality the regime and preventing it from spreading its attacks across the region. masud pesishian added that iran's retaliatory move was based on the un charter and within the framework of international law. was speaking a phone call with dutch prime minister dick. the iranian president also said that he's his country is not seeking war and conflict at all. during the phone conversation. pesishgan criticized western countries for their silence on israel's terror actions, including the assassination of hamas chief ismail hania in tehran. for his part, the dutch premier said west asia does not have the capacity for more tensions, calling on all parties to... void escalation. schcuf added, his country has asked israel to agree to a gaza cease fire deal as soon as possible. a year into
2:52 am
israel's genocide in gaza, australians continue to show strong support for palestine. tens of thousands of people gathered on the streets of sydney on sunday to voister anger over the ongoing israeli bombings. protesters called for sanctions on israel urging a stronger action. against the regime, our correspondent shanana, but reports from sydney, and heightened security, many australians took to the streets to express their solidarity with the people of palestine and lebanon. for the past 52 weeks, these demonstrators have consistently joined the global outcry against what they described as israel's genocide in gaza and lebanon. the streets echoed with chats forest. and lebanon as demonstrators marched raising their voice in unison, protesters demanded regime's accountability, calling for an end to the violence and urging the international
2:53 am
community to act. the sham of western democracy has been exposed, and i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that um war is profit and us and western australian interests are being protected so... um, at the end of the day, if they wanted to change things and they could sanction israel and do what they've done to russia with ukraine, it's a double standard. the pro- palestine demonstrations over the past year have become the largest in australia's history, with numbers growing steadily every week. determined movement that will not be silent until australia cuts its ties with the apart state of israel, and the australian government stops its policy of uh condoning and being. in israel's genocide in gaza and its invasion in lebanon. this week's protest saw a large participation of children as families brought the next generation to join
2:54 am
the movement. many here believe that the call for justice and peace must be passed on, ensuring that future generations are both aveare of the ongoing struggles and prepared to stand against injustice. there's no protest in australian history that's lasted as long and has been. big as this, because pro palestinian groups in australia are set to hold a widel on october the 7th to mark one year since the escalation of violence against palestinians by israeli forces. these groups are also raising concerns about the australian government's perceived complicity, calling for stronger action and accountability in response to the ongoing genocide. as the israel's actions escalate. the global demand for immediate cease fire and justice for the people of palestine has grown stronger. there are increasing calls to hold responsible the perpetrators of war
2:55 am
crime. shahana but, press tv, sydney. that is it for this edition of world news. we'll see you soon. bye-bye. this is about people who got silenced but kept fighting. supervision and controlling of freedom of speech only comes up when you're criticizing israel. 45% journalists behind israeli bars at the moment. they've warned students that if they remain here, they will be arrested. this is about the voices of
2:56 am
palestine. in today's program, we'll be asking, is the zinust entity on the brink of collapse? the way in which they have lied and lied and lied, and people i see that as the kind of cats trays, they lie and they lie and they why, has been uh staggering, uh, surprising to many uh... and it it's only become revealed and certainly the mainstream media have tried to keep it out of of it's only become revealed gradually, there were people writing about this very early on in in october, but but it didn't get beyond the alternative media until much much later, but now everybody sees that these were lies. the status quo post october the 7th, we're seeing airlines cancelling flights, hotels half empty, businesses failing, um, the israeli business information company, co-face bdi even reported that some 46,00 businesses have

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 israely officials and regime forces in turn have been doing for a whole year, but october 7. one year anniversary, that is what we will 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 destruction, is the fact that they are looking down
