9:33 am
breaking news also is israeli air strike on lebanon's becca region leaves at least nine dead, several injured, our correspondent mariam sal is uh joining us now from the lebanese capital beirot with all the latest or any second now all right uh i believe we do not have mariam at the moment hopefully uh we'll sort that out and um all right i believe she's back now. mariam uh, if you're with us, please ring us up to speed on uh all the latest developments uh with regards to of the israeli crimes and aggression that's taking place on lebanon at this point, well of we have the same pattern of continuous of aggressions, especially the systematic attacks against civilian infrastructure, civilian areas, many houses where we were civilian so we have hundreds uh a daily basis at least dozens of civilians are killed uh in various strikes all across uh territory what
9:34 am
the're in self lebanon yesterday we had a in group of also what seemed to be massacer in the bikar region as well, we can probably hear about the fact we have at least an of underly elderly and the child that were killed in that strike, there could be more civilians as well that were killed in that strike, this is in addition to the systematic attacks and the paramedics and the medical centers and we can see that in the areas of manashi, for example, medical center, with the paramedics and the ambulance cars were almost completely destroyed, very heavy damages in their vehicles and this is of course just part of the israeli continuous aggression on lebanon, which also continues to bombard, even areas that are in the border areas, i think believing that there could probably be more tunnels of resistance fighters, trying to attack and corporate bomb
9:35 am
all those resident of the border towns in order to be able to advance and still despite all of this we see that they are incapable of advancing uh we know that this morning hasbullah has declared that attempt after they saw an israeli force attempt to enter incursion and infiltrate the border from the area of the town of lida, the hezbullah fighters stopped it and directly targeted that force which came under hisballah's missile fire, leaving scores the big number of casualties among the israelies, the israelis have so far only admitted that there were 30 soldiers and officers that were killed or wounded in the last two days, however, hazballah believes that it could be much higher number. now when it comes to the other operations that we had in addition to
9:36 am
beliga, the israelis still are attempting once more to enter from the area of labhune where yesterday they were under very heavy shelling from law, we know that lot of their vehicles, even their their tractors, their armored vehicles were all were all under fire seemingly, because they attempted to enter from area which was close to the united nations interforced position, however hasballah made sure to target that israeli force before it came close to the peacekeepers, not to put them in harm's way, which is also another um factor here that the israelis are using the united nations post as and the... the peacekeepers as human shields, this is of course another issue with that stress that one of the statements that they will not be targeting the force as long as it's close to the unifield because they do not want to put the peacekeepers in arms way, of course the just less than an hour ago we
9:37 am
know that a salvo of rockets was launched towards the occupied territory towards ev beam and even areas in... has been focusing uh yesterday lot on hfa in addition to all the settlements that have been considered by the israelis as closed military zone but we know zones but i think we will be hearing some news from pazbala that many rockets have reached as well as beyond haifa and even areas like suffa right and uh also my am we do have uh some breaking news uh there stating that hasw has repelled to israeli infiltrations uh, in that regard uh, if you may explain for us and our viewers, the stiff resistance that the uh occupying uh israeli regime has met um it with the with the likes the lebanese resistance moving hisbollah.
9:38 am
what's remarkable about you is that yesterday here from the spokes person of the israelies saying that we were able to destroy and even close down the tunnels and we have no knowledge that there is... other tunnel and then you see these continuous confrontations in areas where the israelies do not expect, this also reflects the words that we heard from deputy secretary general sheikh qasim who stressed that now is the time to focus on the battlefield and that is going to tell you exactly where the the issues lie, where all these statements coming up from the israelis israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is boasting about also weakening lot of its infrastructure, saying that he was able to kill the successor of nahralah, the successor the successor, so it's a lot of narrative, lot of rhetoric that seems to be completely detached from reality based on what the lebanese government is saying, that what they're looking at is that the israels
9:39 am
continue an aggression against civilians and not a strike to be able to target and end the existence of law, so as long as we have very clear, intense, resistance on the frontlines addition to the fact that you have lot of rockets being launched towards that go beyond the those forces that are attempting incursionis have for now reached nothing and all that boasting and talking about the fact that they have reached some sort of victory or that they were able to defeat or even weaken hasball um is is completely disillusional as some analys have said we saw for example yes yesterday and and before that we saw for example three main points, there was yaron, as well as the area of the israelies could not advance, yesterday also they attempted the area of labani which is closer to the shorts closer to the nakura area which lies on the coast of south
9:40 am
lebanon, the israelis also have a post rapura, which levanese government believes and has been is also part partially occupied by that israeli post, hazbillah has made it clear that they will target anything that moves in that area, the the resistance statement said that they saw a big number of vehicles moving attempting perhaps to be covered by those vehicles, but said that if they either damaged or destroyed those vehicles, so even when we're talking about not face to face combat, they're still able to destroy those forces that are attempting to come close. this is in addition to the various examples when there were face to face combat, and we also had another statement from the operation room of the resistance, stressing that the words of the deputy secretary general jeff kasim are evidence of... on the ground and we will be also showing more and more the significance of our
9:41 am
resistance in that area which they said of course is in defense of lebanon and it's a very it's complicated when you talk about the fact that this was originally supposed to be a support front and yesterday we marked the was the one year mark since the beginning of support front for ghaza now it seems that the israelis already have plans to try to launch incursion and try to attack and target has below, we saw this of course from the explosion of the pagers and other assassinations against hazballah's commanders, however even the that issue did not weaken hazbullah, we heard from sheikh qasim say that all the vacancies have been filled, there is deputy for every single commander that was assassinated and those plans that were put in place by the previous commanders, they are still there, they are being played, there's "they have the other, the successor has the copy or is knowledgeable of the plans that were put in
9:42 am
place, and even those fighters on the ground already know what the plan is, and they the command and control system is definitely well when it comes to how hazballah is facing the israeli aggression, and what we're looking at is something very similar to the situation in gaza, although the situation lebanon could probably be a bit different in two means, first of all is..." much more prepared is much more if we may say muscular when it comes to the strength that it has and the arsenal of rockets that it has, because it was able, it has an extension of ability to provide all the raw material to make those rockets and to provide those rockets to syria, through the islamic republic of iran, gaza was under siege, and now this would be definitely give hesball up the upper hand, but you also have the fact of the fighters, the way they are organized, the cells of the one force and the elite forces and even the anti-arm force for, they definitely seem to
9:43 am
be ready and seem to know how to maneuver, even as the israeli forces are attempting to enter lebanon and with the continuous shelling even the areas where those fighters are staying. thanks lot marium press tv's mariam joining us from the lebanese capital beirot. the syrian foreign ministry strongly. condem an israeli airaid in the capital damascus, it killed or injured nearly 20 people. the ministry called the assault a brutal crime against defenseless civilians. the ministry also said the strike was an extension of israel's bloodshed across the region, including lebanon and palestine. the iranian embassy in damascus also condemned the strike as a terrorist bombing, adding no iranians were among the casualties. on monday israel missiles hit a residential building in the meza neighborhood west of damascus. according to the syrian army, at least seven people, including women and children were killed and 11 others wounded in the attack. syria has consistently urged the un security
9:44 am
council to take action against such israeli assaults, which it regards as clear violation the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. our correspondent has talked to some syrian officials and people present at the side of the israeli attack to get their first stand accounts of the strike. let's take a listen to what they have to say. approximately 8 p.m. we received a report of an air attack a residential building in damascus. rescue and emergency teams immediately rushed to the place. we began removing rubble and have retrieved the bodies the martters and the injured. the search for survivors continues. i was standing a traffic light when i heard an explosion. when i got there i saw the building destroyed a child was murtered. it is sad a girl was injured. the building was. fire and shops were destroyed, arrived at the scene after five
9:45 am
minutes as my house is close to the area, i found panic and fear, ambulances, fire trucks and police for everywhere, a civilian building was targeted, civilians in the mesa neighborhood have been targeted several times, i was standing nearby when the attack suddenly happened, why this is unacceptable, everyone here is a civilian, there were many pedestry. in the streets because it's a residential area, although i fell terrified, we'll remain steadfast.
9:46 am

9:48 am
palestinians have witnessed in over year of israely war describing it as an awful human experiment. uh the putting the psychological trauma in amongst other reports of the economic effects or the uh food, the diseases and all of this seems to be done in a very systematic kind of scientific way uh this genocide like it's not a normal genocide if there is such a thing, it's a many faceted uh particularly cruel and ruthless genocide uh by people who include the government of the united states, which really should be up on charges itself in the united nations, not pretending to be that they can be both the negotiator and the uh ally of israel, the backer of israel with bombs and money and
9:49 am
diplomatic cover, so so this uh effect on the mental... health of people, this is actually on the frontiers, this is like new kind of human experiment and of course an awful kind of human experiment, and we when we look at the transition from gauza to the west bank, you the most completely occupied territories or obviously occupied territories of the of the west bank, and now to lebanon, and there does seem to be sort of a complete unrestrained effort to just kill and murder and slaughter and destroy communities and uh cripple people uh on the part of us israel. the united nations secretary general slams a draft law by israel which seeks to block the work of un's palestine relief agency in gaza.
9:50 am
all the upheaval undwa more than ever is indispensable. "unrwa, more than ever, is irreplaceable. that is why i've written directly to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, to express profound concern about draft legislation that could prevent ur from continuing its essential work in the occupied palestinian territory. speaking a un press briefing, guteres called on the israeli draft legislation against onrow. a quote catastrophe, he said such measure would suffocate efforts ease human suffering and deal a terrible blow to the international humanitarian response in gaza. israel is repeatedly called for an end to the honor mission in gaza since the regime launched its genocidal war on the besieged gaza strip on october the 7th, the regime claims on world members were involved in the hamas attack against israelies without any evidence to
