hizbillah had to perform two corresponding missions, fighting the oxygen and nurtering a new image of the resistance, which would in time erase any bad memories some of the villagers had caused by the behavior of the preceeding armed resistance. ان امارس المهمات كما ارادها الله تبارك وتعالى من مهمه حمل البندقيه لمواجهه الاعدادهم من ارضنا الى مهمه تقمه الانسان الجائع. september 5. معركه انصاريه كانت معركه نوعيه مميزه اسقطت خطه اسرائيليه متكامله كانت تريد تنفيذها في الجنوب. بالعام 1999 يعني زادت عمليات ضغط المقاومه او كانت تزداد عمليات ضغط المقاومي على كل المستويات في مواجه ازدياد ضغط العدوان الاسرائيلي والاحتلال الاسرائيلي وتاثر العمليات الاسرائيليه وحركه ونشاط الاستخبارات الاسرائيليه على الارض المكثف ادت للاعتقالي في العام 1999 اعتقلت الى معتقل اليمن طبعا يعني انا انا اعتقلت يعني على عبار اني يعني كنت منخرط في مشروع او في في مهام محدده لل المنطقه التي كانت محتله وكان لي نشاط يعني مكثف الى في تلك الفتره ترافق هذا النشاط مع ازدياد عمليه المراقبه الاسرائيليه والمتابعه الاسرائيليه مما ادى الى اعتقالي on the 13th of january 2000 the اسلام resistance put final end to the notion of defending

and following israel's assassination of senior iranian military advisor in syria with lebanon's hizbillah

after the resistance movements displayed its high fighting capabilities, just as in the case with hizbillah in southern lebanon. הוא קצין בדרגת גנרל, התפקיד שלו בעצם לדאוג למשלוחי הנשק שמגיעים מאירן ללבנון, הוא קולט את המשלוחים שמגיעים מאיראן, מאכסן אותם בסוריה ואז משלח אותם לחסבלא בלבנון, בין היתר הוא גם היה המערח של בחירים איראנים כשהם הגיעו לבקר בסוריה, הוא זה שהיה דואג לכל הלוגיסטיקה של האירוח, קצין מאוד משמעותי, ואדם שיש לישראל חשבון ארוך איתו, אני חושב שזה הקצין האיראני הבכיר ביותר שמחוסל על אדמה סורית, הולם חיסלנו בעבר גנרל יחד עם עם. בנו של מורניה שחוסל ברמת הגולן, הוא לא היה ברמה הזאת, זה אדם מאוד מאוד מרכזי מבחינת הספקת הנשק לחזבלה, ויש פה עיתות כפול, אם ישראל לכן עומדת מאחורי הפעולה הזאת, גם עיתות שאנחנו נפגע גם במי שמשלח את הנשק ולא רק במשלוחי הנשק עצמם, וגם שישראל פועלת נגד איראן ישירות, כלומר אם איראן צבורה שהיא יכולה להקות בישראל באמצעות החוטים מתימן, אז ישראל, אם היא עומדת מאחורי הפעולה והיא לא לוקחת אחריות כרגע, היא יודעת להגיב גם כנגד מטרות אירניות. thank you very much. of course, there are several possibilities or scenarios so to say, in the shadow of total israeli inabil

will make things worse for its army and settlers alike. despite all that is said about the war with hizbillahפה ואין כסף לדברים הכי חיוניים בעולם, ענפים שלמים קורסים, אנשים יחזרו מהמילואים ולא יהיה להם פרנסה. מרכזי היום לזקנים מחכים ל-50 מיליון שקל מינואר, אלפי זכנים, אנשים במצב סיעודי, זה קורה עכשיו, לזה לא היה כסף, אז כנראה שאין כסף. and these are few comments. what else? 1300 dead, 250 captives, a collapsed economy. what else? run it. this is life. we have been at war since two months and the one accused of being responsible for the killing of hundreds of people, and the captivity of hundreds is running an electoral campaign a collapsed economy, soldiers being killed at battles, civilians being killed due to in. considerate distribution of arms and the stupid people will continue to vote for him. netanyahu and the cabinet must be replaced, they failed on the military, security, political and economic levels. israel is now defeated army and a collapsed economy, dead, injured, captives, the gaza strip is destroyed, soldiers sinking in the swamp of gaza, thousands of outlaws a collapse in the

meanwhile, hizbillah said that it is targeted a tent which was housing israeli troops near the dahira base using missiles. attack left number of troops killed and injured. and several lebanese citizens have been killed in latest israely air strikes on southern lebanon. our correspondent matiam saudi earlier joined us from beirot with an. well we just have of course news that three of the people who were in that house during the israeli fighter jet raid yesterday uh they were murdered and we know that ali bazzi along with his brother brahim buzi and brahim's wife have been murdered they have been killed there was a fourth person from the buzzly family who was also wounded. "the israelis of course rated their house and that was in the middle of the city of bintin, this is one of the biggest cities in south lebanon, in especially in the bordering areas, it's true there are bordering ... it does border of course the northern occupied palestine, but there are many people remain residing inside the city of bintish bail, um and this is basically area where you have lot of residential areas,

reciprocated area along the southern lebanese borders frequently witness exchanges of fire between hizbillah and israel that came after october 8th, that was the day after palestinan resistance factions launch operation alaxa flood against israel. global energy producer british petroleum says it's suspended all oil tanker transit through the red sea over what it calls deteriorating security situation. the taiwan's container transportation company ever green line also halted shipments to and from occupied lands and response to recent attacks in the red sea. this after yemani military attacked israel balance ships there and latest of such attacks themeny armed forces performed. military operation against two ships related to the israeli regime, yemen's army spokesperson said operation targeted swan atlantic oil tanker and msc clear containership follen crews refusal to follow yemini army's orders. sana says strikes are in response to israel's genocidal war on palestinians in gaza. yemen stress it will continue the attacks until televise stops its ethnic cleansing and gazaland allows food and m

lebanon's hizbillah resistance movement also reacted saying assassination uh in syria adds another crime to list of atrocities perpetrated by israel, the resistance movement also described musavi's killing as blatant and shameless attack palestinian islamic jihad called it a cowardly act and our damascus uh correspondent ibrahim wahti joined us earlier with more details on this assassination. as reported, love explosions were heard today afternoon around 4 pm due in damascus countryside due to an israeli aggression that targeted aqraba town in the vicinity of sayida zeinab, the israeli regime have probably fired missiles, surface to surface missiles from the third. the occupied territories in the syrian jolan, the syrian air defenses responded to the attack and shut down several missiles while unfortunately three of them have reportedly reached their targets uh resulting in material damage. the aggression also resulted in the martter them of the top commander of the iranian revolutionary guard corps sayd razi musawi. ron's ambassador to syria hossin acbati says that the tel avib is makin

meanwhile, hizbillah said that it's targeted tent housing israeli troops near a dahira base using missileso other parts of the region. iran's islamic revolution guard score has vote to take tough. revenge on israel for assassinating a senior iranian military advisor in syria. irgc spokesman ramazan sharif made the statement during a press conference held in the iranian capital, tehron. he blasted the monday israeli missile attack on damascus that targeted brigadier general sayid razi musavi's residence in the sayida zainab neighborhood. he also described the assassination as a continuation of israel's violation of international laws, calling on the international community to... stop the crimes of the occupying regime which endanger international peace and security. when asked about tel aviv's motive for committing this heinous crime, sharif said the regime is seeking to expand its gen. sidal onslot on gaza to the entire west asia region. one of the reasons is that the israeli regime wants to extend the scope of the war beyond the borders of palestine and they want to deflect public attenti

upper hand and they can survive in the region. now speaking of the region, how would you assess hizbillah's a take on this, that what they call the backup front? we've seen around 100 marters for hisb, we've seen civilians also fall in south lebanon, there is destruction, there is security basically zone, how would you look at the role of now? well, and in hamas we have a clear position, the resistance in the region is not supposed to participate in the... way like someone expect, it's our choice as resistance to decide how we have to do that, when we have to do to do that, and the timing of that, so i believe maybe lot of people they think that hisbullah have to do more, or they expected, well, if they are the supporters of resistance, i think it's a good choice, it's a good thing, because they have a full trust of this resistance and they have a trust. that this resistance is capable to defeat the israeli regime, but they have also to understand and to believe that this resistance is a wise leader has a wise leader leadership, they know how to do the things in the proper way, in hamas we

kind test for these factions which are part of the ax resistance as they decided to enter alongside hizbillah and other resistance factions to support gaza with their best ability. what has their involvement in this war so far brought forth for this regional confrontation? greetings, dr. marwa, to you and to our esteemed viewers. today the resistance factions in iraq are working vigorously to demonstrate everyone that they are integral part of the access of resistance. regarding the operation of flood and the subsequent israeli entity aggression on gaza. these factions have proven themselves not only as inseparable part of this access, but also as an active participant. they carry out almost daily operations not only within. but also against us occupation bases in syria, underscoring the significance in supporting the palestinian resistance. the geopolitical importance of iraq, its presence of us forces and security agreements contribute to making the iraqi front strategically crucial. the internal political complexities in iraq amplify this importance, making it a vital and strategic front,

why you can see many families um in this area even a time when there are confrontations, of course hizbillahr that it was against the attacks in the b kaman area, of course hizbullah does have expertise inside syria uh, which is something that is not a secret, um, it seems the israeli shelling of syria specifically, but now we have us shelling of that area of bukamal specifically, which is area that links of course syria and iraq, then they have of course the intelligence to be able to know that there are fighters for hazballah as they are attacking also iranian uh presence and running experts as we saw for said radi, he was attacked and was assassinated in uh... in syria, of course this is issue that many have denounced, we've also seen that hazbullah's um presence in syria has also been targeted, and this proves, if we may say, as experts are also clearly observing, this proves that the resistance in iraq is definitely scoring hits uh in against the us military presence in the region, not only is the resistance here in leban, definitely targeting and precisely... hitting israeli targets, b

give hizballah uh maybe some concessions inside domestic scale that they would probably enforce on hizbillah to stop its operations in south lebanon, however it doesn't seem that hizballah going to give into these calls or to this what some analysts are saying considering a blackmail or basically political gaming for the us um it seems has made it clear what is happening in south lebanon will continue until the war on palestine war on gaza stops thank you for that we appreciate it mariam there talk to us from thank you mariam a suicide attack by a terrorist group on the police station in northwest pakistan leaves at least two dozen people dead security officials say that an explosive truck ramp into the police station in derra. ismail khan a district ofwa province near the afghan border. the group affiliated the pakistan taliban has claimed responsibility for the pidon attack. many of those killed were sleeping in civilian clothes. pakistan's army has not yet commented on incident, but investigation has been launched at local levels to determine whether all the victims were military personne

meanwile new clashes have taken place between hizbullah and israel along the southern lebanese border. hizbillah is launched a drone strike on an israeli military position and occupied sheball farms and the regie's military positions in the maragaliot area have also been targeted with rockets. our baby root corresponded joined us earlier with some details. so we have definitely seen that the israelis are taking steps that are not acceptable by the resistance and so therefore we see that hizballah is stepping up their operations today of course we had several operations there were at least seven operations, two of them were conducted in the middle of the night in response to the targeting and the killing of a civilian today, also we had the martterdom of a civilian woman in the town of marun plus we have her her husband is severely injured uh the resistance specifically retaliated for this naming the woman in in person uh they directly said that this is in retaliation when they targeted the katmuna uh cam but you also have something new which is the fact that said that they will be reciprocal whe

world, and hizbullah was able to stand in front of it, despite the fact that in the 80s and 90s hizbillah's grad and katusha missiles were considered not that sophisticated in in facing the zinis israeli entity, but later on it changed, how did the presence of haj qasim develop these capabilities and with his martterdom? and in our resistance is strong and enduring. one ofim's distinguishing features is that he discovered the capabilities withinlah, recognized them and identified them. the youth of as part of allah's blessings on the... of resistance work and dedication have a bright and powerful history, knowledgeable, courageous and daring people with qualities we all know, he believed in the resistance within hizballah, trusted it and believe that these youth could do much more than they were doing, this was the starting point and the foundation. so he gave them all this support and opened all these doors, he believed that the potential within our hands did not match the spiritual, intellectual, human and scientific capacities present in the youth of, therefore he motivated these potenti

it clear that as long as the israelies trespass or they continue to go beyond the boundaries that hizbillah has drawn and hizbullah will also launch their rockets further off from the border, we can see even from their operations yesterday, and the day before that they are being very meticulous and making sure that they target the post where the israelis are, even the new uh posts that have been situated by the israeli army thinking that they are going further off and maybe going away from the the eyes of the resistance, still hazbullah was able to monitor and with continuous observation they were able to know the movement of the soldiers and target them. of course today we start we're still waiting to see if there will be another retaliation from hisballah. the other resistance operations throughout the border, which is something of course that continues a daily basis. all right, thanks lot, maries, marining us from the lebanese capital baywood. moving on, leader abdul malik al huthi says military operations in the red sea against all israeli linked ships will continue despite us and israe

"now tensions remain high along lebanon's southern border where hizbillah registant movement has launched retaliatory attacks against israel. our correspondent mariam salah has an update: in retaliation to targeting civilian infrastructure, which is roads and also civilian houses, they targeted today the town of avim or the settlement aboveim, which is originally lebanese occupied town called solhaw. and over there they said that they completely destroyed one of the settlement houses and so therefore hazbillah has made it clear that they will reciprocate all of the israeli targeting and the shelling whether that they destroy a house in south lebanon they will make sure that the settlement house is destroyed of course as we know the israelis have evacuated the israeli side for at least 15 kilometers whether um in the bordering towns even further off from that however in the lebanese side or on the lebanese today we have fun perception for one of the hizballah fighters, we had at least 200 people who took part in that funeral, that was less than a kilometer away from the border, and so you'

"hizbillah has never negotiated with israel, nor will it ever do so, and then you have the hooties who have targeted three ships, they have seized the bulgarian flag ship as early as today. are we already looking at escalation, a regional war, perhaps? they are trying to have escalation, they do whatever they can, the israelis. benjamin netanyahu is working directly to have escalation, and i think that hezmolah was very, very..." self-restraint until now, the answer is another thing, mean i i really want to visit yemen one day, i cannot believe what we see in how they act and how they apply their faith because it's a faith thing for them to resist to tyrants, but uh, i don't think that we can discuss real politic with them, but hezbolah was is in its land, it's in lebanon, it's taking... care of lebanon and hesbolah sees the golan heights just next to it, yeah hezbol every day remembers what israel means and was paid a very big blood with lot of blood its freedom lebanon and keeping it israel away from its land so how can you ask them to forget that it's it's just yesterday it's not so

kilometers since they wanted to leave and evacuate those posts that have been under the scrutiny of hizbillah and hizballah has been clearly been able to uh to shoot them and some... places they have even left electronic machine guns uh that would move by sensors and would directly um shoot anything that moves surrounding that post, but they have also made makeshift posts behind uh areas where they believe hazbolah does not have surveillance, however it seems that hazballah has abilities to collect intelligence whether it is through their drones that have not been detected by the radars and also we saw yesterday how one of its bomb laiden drones was was able to reach the the the post and in hunine and able to attack and reach its target in what the israelies call the margaliot settlement and so that proves that hazbullah seems to up until now have supremacy when it comes to these operations, the israelis of course have not have stepped up their shelling, we have seen also that yesterday and today they have used fighter jet shelling and that is not something that we see often here in south leb

have an hazbullah fighter that has been lost today as a result of the israeli shelling, of course hizbillah has been open about the number of fighters that they have. lost even those that have been targeted by israeli war planes and israeli attacks um in the territory in syria as well since uh now hazballah believes this is one battle and as you can see it is increasingly becoming a battle which is on a regional scale you have the resistance in iraq launching attacks against the the us bases uh in in iraq and even in syria uh we have seen a lot. of mediation by the the us officials calling, demanding iraqi officials that they take measures in order to stop those operations, so it shows the extent and the significance of that, we've also heard from us officials uh like defense secretary who has been very vocal on stressing that he does not want to extend and create a larger battle calling on the israelis to limit their movement, especially in south lebanon, he does not want to involve fazlah more than it is involved, since he as someone who has experience if you may say in the central comman

getting rid of the resistance inside gaza and we can definitely see that what would their case be with hizbillah which is of course must a much stronger resistance and as as you can see, despite the fact that it is, it does have marters, it is considered of an upside for the resistance that it does have marters, they're still going to bury their marters in the bordering towns right under the shelling, and that this has not stopped them from continuing their aggression, the from continuing of course the operations in south lebanon, the israelis of course continue their shelling, we have lot of israel sharing continuously all along that area, despite all of this, still have people like i said going back to that to their towns, now at the same time you have lot of pressure coming, political pressure from the united states, even now france is going being part of those channels, they're trying to say they're using diplomatic channels, but actually what they're doing is blackmailing the lebanese issues pertaining to the election of the president, the election of new chief of the army, and so we have l

instigator for all of these operations that are being conducted in south lebanon as well, we had the hizbillah operations that are conducted, we hear daily uh opposition or daily complaints basically from the israelis against their government saying that they are incapable of stopping hizballah's resistance, they continue to and to to deal many blows from uh the resistance as we know uh despite the fact that in many cases it is not very clear it is a further confrontation but we do have daily casualties on the israeli side we also have new reports of rockets coming out from syrian territory into occupied golan heights that is considered also by the israelis as very dangerous um development which they say they want to uh retaliate for a response and this is why they said that in one of their attacks against syria that it was in response to the targeting of rockets from syria into occupied golan heights and so you see that bit by bit we have this confrontation somewhat enlarging a wider scale it did begin of course in gaza then later on we saw operations from south lebanon in iraq in yemen but n

knowledgeable, courageous and daring people with qualities. he believed in the resistance within hizbillah, trusted it and believed that these youth could do much more than they were doing. this was the starting point. the foundation, so he gave them all this support and opened all these doors, he believed that the potential within our hands did not match the spiritual, intellectual, human and scientific capacities present in the youth ofiz. therefore he motivated these potentials and opened doors for الروحيه والعقليه والبشريه والعلميه الموجوده عن شباب حزب الله. حفز هذه الامكانات وفتح لها الابواب. thus his meeting with haj. have mercy on him, was not a coincidental meeting, but a meeting of creativity and mutual trust. he trusted's intellect, believed in his courage and gave him everything he could give. he opened all the doors for him. of course the youth of hazbullah had this readiness and he discovered this readiness, bet on it, and that's how we reach where we are now. this was of course very significant turning point in the resistance work within a very... bright point, we believe tha

its operations as well, try even pull hazbullah backwards, the israelies say that based on 1701 hizbillah's resistance should not be in the southern parts of the litani river, of course we're talking about the bordering towns, all of them are are south south of the... and so this is why we see lot of pressure on that side because the israeli officials have also warned that they would launch a full scale war while the resistance has also warned the israel that if they do nothing can protect them, not the us vessels, not the us uh support, the political support whether in the united nations or anything, and so therefore they have been adamant on saying that they will support the resistance in gaza, well at the same time protecting the civilians in lebanon. so israel is interested in uh an all out war with lebanon, but after the war, genocidal war ends in the gaza strip? well, that is one of the plans that they have put forth, they have been open on several plans, we've seen some of the talk through the israeli media from the war cabinet uh, where some of the ministers have said, let us start

multiply that by two or three, so there it was definitely a heavy blow to the israelis uh whether hizbillah had a special arms that they used. but we know it was drones and when you look at the map actually of that area specifically, the fact that from lebanon, you cannot really see and observe that settlement specifically, it is very difficult to see it. press tv correspondent in islam mahad nasa kasmi has talked to some medical doctors about the pain and suffering of palestinians in gaza. let's listen to what they had to say about the onslaught in the besieg territory. "the israel is not allowing any medical aid, any food and is not letting anyone establish any kind of shelter with them and it's moving them all, the the motives they are clear actually, but this is very unjust, it is against all the principles of the war, all geneva conventions and all the rules of the war, whatever is happening in gaz you know it's unprecedented. world has never seen such atrocities, such merciless killing of women, children across the board bombardment, destruction of health care facilities, shelters and

"hizbillah has never negotiated with israel, nor will it ever do so, and then you have the hooties who have targeted three ships, they have seized the bulgarian flag ship as early as today, are we already looking at escalation, a regional war, perhaps? they are escalation, they do whatever they can, the israelis, benjamin netanyahu is working tiresly to have escalation, and i think that hasulah was very, very self-rest. until now the answer is another thing, mean i i really want to visit yemen one day, i cannot believe what we see in how they act and how they apply their faith because it's a faith thing for them to resist to tyrants, but i don't think that we can discuss real politic with them, but hez was is in its land, it's in lebanon, it's taking care of lebanon. and hesbollah sees the golan heights just next to it, yeah, hesbolah every day remembers what israel means and was paid a very big blood uh with lot of blood its freedom lebanon and keeping it israel away from its land, so how can you ask them to forget that? it's it's just yesterday, it's not so much, it's not even a gene

mortars, uh, in some cases they're using burcan which is a bit heavier, however, when you look at how hizbillah is able basically to keep their observations so precise to the extent that they know the movement of the israeli military, whether it is the soldiers entering and leaving the bases, or it is for example the vehicles or where the tanks are hidden, whether it is behind a settlement house or behind a tank, that is considered very significant, of course the israel have also stepped up there um their targeting of several areas in lebanon today they targeted uh we mentioned earlier the mountain of blott also behind that there is actually natural reserve in the village of romya in the western side uh of the border um and and that area is considered very significant that it is a place that is a part of labanos natural resources it is a place where you have very old uh trees and it is considered very significant with their oat trees and olive trees and so on, and so if that shelling, and we're talking about air shelling here, we're not talking about artillery fire or drone attacks, and if thos

will not be held accountable uh in any way, that is what we're seeing here, and we also heard from hizbillah statements always mentioning the fact that there is a us project uh, it's not just an israeli project, it is a us project, "and we heard from former minister for hazbullah muhammad fnesh, he said just recently also, they said we need to be very careful and cautious, and we need to head any sort of plan that comes from the united states, and they're saying if there is any sort of plan that would come as a result of this conflict, trying to say that there are solutions, that they are presenting and brokering certain solutions, well at the same time giving veto um making sure that there's veto to disallow - the uh the the cessation of these hocilities uh" "this would show that there are definitely double standards uh, they always say that we need to be cautious of the fact that the us would try to put in some sort of a uh solution uh openly, it would look like a solution, but it would actually be something that would not be in in the interest of lebanon, and here we're talking about some

beginning or the first round of the fighting, we have that increasing in this confrontation, of course hizbillah has also been continuously targeting israely basis, but the difference with hezballah's operations is that they are much more precise if we may say, their aim is not basically to burn or to destroy houses as the israelis are doing, it is more to make sure that they have specific military targets, we're seeing the targeting of baracks, you mentioned the gathering of soldier, there was one in the in the barracks of the shumera, which the israelies call... of course tends to insist in throughout their statements to name those areas that are that were renamed by the israelis into some other hebrew names, they they were naming the original name, so here for example we have the town which is called now shumera, that is where they have huge baracks, the israelis hasballah targeted a group of soldiers of gathering soldiers had bunkers near that post, then after that even just at least maybe an hour or less they targeted that same barax which is in like we said schuma originallyha and so that

said inside lebanon, i'm not too sure how deep it was, um, and then there was a retaliation by by hizbillah civilians in that house, and even when they targeted the civilian car when that which led to the killing of three young girls and their grandmother, that was also very clearly a targeting of civilians, so this is what hazballah saying, civilians for civilians, it's not just the issue of the depth of it, it depends also on the target, and the israelis have the capabilities to know that they are targeting civilians or they're targeting military uh targets, but with the fact that they are incapable of really indicate really targeting hazballah and hurting hazballah in its uh positions here in south lebanon, therefore they have gone to target civilian uh positions, i guess or civilian areas. thank you very much, from southern lebanon, mariam sale. thank you. moving on, iran's islamic revolution guard core has announced that two of its members have been killed in an israeli attack in syria. the statement the irgc said the two members were serving as military advisors. didn't elaborate on w

after the resistance movements displayed its high fighting capabilities, just as in the case with hizbillah in southern lebanon.

headquarters of the israeli army's 91st division in biranit as well as jalalalalam (milisary base) hizbillah fighters also struck gathering of israeli soldiers with missiles. niraq's prime minister muhammad shih al sudani has warned washington against any attacks on his country in a phone call with the us secretary of state anthony blincon. he slammed washington's latest attack on the jurif al ana, retivating his country's commitment safeguarding his borders and sovereignty. the palestinian resistance has triumped, despite the chatter of the israeli regime, whose prime minister is trying to cover this victory up by maintaining his warmongering threats. in spite of its brutality, the zionist entity failed to achieve its goals, with which it justified the genocidal war on gaza and was unable to bring the gazzans to their knees and expel them from their homeland. some may wonder about the validity of victory while the enemy continues its aggression, assassinates hamas leaders in lebanon and continues to kill and arrest civilians. the answer to that is that the most important event was netanyahu
