so uh, the martter fuad shukr was a founding member of the lebanese resistance hazb allah in 1982. now israel and the us have accused him of leading major attacks (not specifying what) under. the pretext of illegally assassinating him in the lebanese capital last week, so it's no surprise that western media has made up its mind that uh the murder fuad chukar was some kind of criminal or bad person uh and that it was only normal for israel to take him out even though it means uh you know attacking the capital, murdering civilians in the process, risking a regional war, so starting with msnbc which invited an analyst from the carnegy endownment named david, aaron david miller. 'who called the marder sayid muhsin fuad shukr the second in command to hazb allah leader sayid hassanlah which is false so they can't even get their facts right yeah here's what miller said on msnbc just hours after the assassination it's here the girls were looking for i'm not sure it was the goly lock solution not too hot not to cold and strong to send very strong signal qualitatively different than anything

the names and pics of nine were known, yesterday, the 10th joined, it was fuad ali shukr, and that is how hazballah started. yeah, it's profound. yeah, so next we have richard medhurst to commented on the pretext given by israel for targeting the martter said muhsin, which by the way marwah. proves this has nothing to do with majd shamps, yeah, the way israel tried to promote it, yeah, and make it seem, so richard wrote, israelies are trying to justify murdering for shukat for bombings in the 1980s, these are the same people who would silence anyone who tried to bring up the nakbah or any other date prior to october 7, 2023. following richard, we have vanessa beili, who shared photos of the majestic scene in the streets of tahran during the funeral procession of the martter ismail hansassin. at the hands of zionist israel, and in the capital center, thousands of morners carried posters of honey and palestinian flags gathered for the ceremony at tehran university, and this is how vanessa commented on the scene. a lot of seriously clueless commentators are doing the whole iran won't do

this was cause for concern, the fear worldwide after fuad shukr was killed and then afterwards set, thatnitude that it will push this conflict that has been staying within certain lines to an extent manageable, that it would calibrate to be on those lines and then we would be in territory and all bets would be in territory and all bets would be. what we are hearing and i think what we saw also overnight is that that has not yet shifted and the effort is still between hezbollah and israel not to post those lines beyond what has been happening. yes this was one of the major confrontations between the two since this new brand of conflict started ten months ago, but i would assume it would be a relatively nuanced sense that yes hezbollah has a response yet to come, but it is mindful of not pushing the region into a deeper conflagration. i am 'ust into a deeper conflagration. i am just getting _ into a deeper conflagration. i am just getting a _ into a deeper conflagration. i am just getting a line _ into a deeper conflagration. i am just getting a line about civilians that hassan nasrallah h

. the man in command of the armed units of hamas in the gaza strip said that the liquidation of fuad shukris is the chief strategic military adviser to the secretary general of the shiite hezbollah group in lebanon, but he took responsibility for israel and said that it was israel that eliminated fuad shukr recalled the attack on the port of yemen, saying that israel would deal harshly. respond to such attacks on their territory and called on citizens to prepare for difficult times, saying that the war is far from over. there are difficult days ahead of us, since the attack on beirut, threats are coming from all sides, we will cope with any of them. israel will make us pay a very high price for any attack on us on any front. it must be said that the security service of the prime minister of israel is now. was rescued from the basement of a collapsed house, the number of victims has increased to nine, the ministry of emergency situations reports, two victims are in serious condition, this is already data from the ministry of health of the region. the argentine authorities admitted that the

a preferable option compared to retaliating for the assassinations of leaders ismail hanye and fuad shukr. the us is warning that it will impose additional economic sanctions on iran if the islamic republic follows through its threat to retaliate for the assassination of ismail hanye. this stance since. messages, one to iranian president masoudkian about the economic and governmental stability costs of any attack on sienist israel, and another to israeli entity prime minister benjamin netanyahu signaling that washington is not currently considering involvement in a regional war, even if iran launches a significant revengeful assault. instead, the us will focus on defensive measures such as detection and interception, along with political and international support, and additional economic sanctions on tehran. now to discuss this issue with us from beirot is dr. danielle yagich, geopolitical commentator, a pleasure having you with us, dr. yagich, now how do you think the us strategies including the proposed prisoner swap and the uh temporary cease fire aims to influence the dynamics of the

to the response to the assassination of the top commander fuad shukr uh by israel said that the retaliation for the assassination is definite and also inevitable. yes, well there's a lot of apprehension here what of retaliation conduct in retaliation for that assassination, we heard it today of course from secretary general definitely saying that there will be a retaliation, we understand from his worlds that words that would also be different and something separate from the support the operations that are in support of the palestinian resistance and also in retaliation for the israeli aggressions that are conducted. all along the uh the southern border and the southern area, and we know that the israelies today targeted the town of shama, which led to the death of almost an entire family, woman and three of her children, although they are syrian nationals, hazbillah believes that this is killing and aggression against innocent civilians and therefore they have begun their retaliation, although today we heard from hazballah's secretary general on his speech, he said that we had waited for t

now people in the lebanese capital have beid their sumbo farewell to hezballah military commander fuad shukr who was killed in an israeli air strike on tuesday during the funeral ceremony of shukr. secretary general said hasan nasrullah vowed that the lebanese resistance movement will avenge israel's killing of his commander. our corresponded in beirot mariam salh has this report. secretary general sad hasan has described as inevitable the retaliation for israel's killing of the lebanese movement's top commander. the enemy and those who are behind it must away. our inevitable response, there's no doubt in this regard, the upcoming days and nights, as well as a battlefield will prove, we are working a real and very calculated response. during the... funeral ceremony of hazballah commander fukar who was killed in an israeli strike on a residential building in a beirot suburb, nasa underline that israel has seriously crossed the red lines. the hazbullah chief added that the region has entered new era following the assassination of both fuad shukr and head of hamas political bureau ismail hannah

ansar allah officials and military leaders also joined the protests, saying ismail hannah and fuad shukr were regarded as two of the most prominent leaders in the muslim world and were murdered while endeavoring to uphold justice. we tell the israel enemy that your assassinations of the resistance leader will not prevent your. inevitable demise: you have killed and assassinated many resistance leaders in the past. ask yourself, what have you achieved from these? were you able to weaken the resistance, or is the resistance today much stronger, much bolder and much more determined than ever before? apart from commemorating what they call the ultimate triumph of marderdom, the demonstrators demanded accountability for israel and fierce armed resistance against the regime and its supporters. we came at today to support not only yemen's armed forces, but all resistance forces and the planned retaliatory military operations against israeli escalations and aggression. the yemeni people today have embraced the resistance front and are calling on it to retaliate strongly, decisively and in a way

has indeed taken the correct approach following the assassination of fuad shukr?on, dealing with an under culture, that's their perception, so that's why uh... "and they have been able to achieve many successes against the arabs over the past seven decades until the rise of the resistance and the capacity of the resistance to drive or let's say lead very successful policies in the confrontation against this zionist entity, this is what amazes them, so they don't expect such a high performance from us." yes, in general, the arabs, the muslims, etc., but then they see a performance that matches there, that even is much. than and superior to their policies, their way of thinking and their judgement. over that great point, we are going to continue, israeli expectations are increasing about the nature of the response from iran, hizballah and yeman to the occupations crimes in tehran, the southern suburbs of beirout and the ports of hudaida. one expected scenario is a coordinated response between the three parties. זאת אומרת התקפה מטואמת, איראן, חזבלה, חוט עם תימן, יחד

building in the southern suburbs of beirout to assassinate the lebanese resistance commander martter fuad shukr. on top of that, it seats the opportunity to announce that its army had now confirmed the successful assassination of the head of hamas ziddin qassam brigades muhammad dif, which is so far not true. for netanyahu the show must go on. therefore he took a series of politically and fairly significant steps with new chapter of the drama that includes the following: chapter one: suddenly phones rang in the capitals involved in the gaza negotiations, informing them that zinus israel was now more prepared than ever to enter into a deal regarding gaza, instructing mediators, bring me the other sign to negotiate the deal. the war criminal forgot that he killed the man facing him at the negotiation table. chapter two: he asked his western allies, americans, british, and oters to inform lebanon that zinis israel is immediately ready to enter negotiations to resolve the outstanding border issues, provided that it occurs within the framework of a political security agreement to establish new arran

course one of the leaders of hazballah, one of the commanders of the hazballah resistance movement, fuad shukr was also killed in that attack, so uh mariam, i'm not sure if you were listening to what our guests from beirot was saying, but he did point to uh the israeli weakness which is which demonstrates itself in such acts of aggression. against leaders of the resistance movement and important figures, key figures of the resistance movement, so if you could please tell us in your opinion, you have been covering this for very long time, tell us what happens when a commander is martered in the resistance front, does that weaken the resistance in any way? let me just first of all tell you about the procession that we had here in the southern suburbs of route and the aggression just so we can have uh our um you know details our facts straight for our viewers uh the israeli aggression was conducted in the heart of the southern suburbs of beirot in the town of hrek which is area uh where you have most of the supporters of hazballah you have of course many of the offices uh for the resistance movem

so that's your explanation of why israel assassinated fuad shukr in the southern suburbs of beirut. long—term significance is the killing of ismail haniyeh, the political leader of hamas, in the iranian capital, tehran. now, it is obvious that ismail haniyeh was involved in indirect talks with israel about a ceasefire. that was his role — chief negotiator in the long—running protracted ceasefire negotiations. why would you take out the man you're talking to about trying to get a deal for hostages and a ceasefire in gaza? ismail haniyeh... and, of course, i'm not confirming if israel has done anything to him. but whoever did that, i think did a greatjob. but i can only say that he was the number—one person of hamas. on october 7th, you saw him, together with the whole leadership of hamas, rejoicing, happy, celebrating the massacre of 1,200 people and the...and the kidnap of over 250 people. that is the man. he's, he's responsible for the deaths of so many israelis and americans and other nationalities, people from other nationalities for many, many, for decades. this man should only

blow. from hezbollah, which has vowed revenge for israel's recent assassination of top commander fuad shukr. according to the washington post, during the 10 months of cross-border conflict with israel, hezbollah launched so-called saturation attacks. it tested gaps in israel's air defenses and introduced new weapons in response to the assassination of senior commanders inside lebanon. hezbollah has received large shipments of missiles and drones from iran, and now it has begun make your own weapons. in addition, the group has anti-aircraft means. defenses that most proxy groups do not have. the group's arsenal includes guided and unguided missiles, anti-tank artillery, ballistic and anti-ship missiles, as well as drones loaded with explosives, allowing it to reach far into israeli territory. analysts estimate that hezbollah has between 130,000 and 150,000 rockets, more than four times what its ally hamas was thought to have stockpiled before the gaza war. and the lebanese group says he commands at least 100,000 troops, twice the high-end estimates for hamas' military fighting forces. the va

in a televised address wednesday, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called fuad shukr onethe world's most—wanted terrorists, and said israel had "settled an account". translation: anyone - who slaughters our children, anyone who murders our citizens, anyone who hits our country will have blood on his own head. citizens of israel, challenging days lie ahead. since the strike on beirut there are threats from all directions. we are prepared for any scenario and will stand united and determined against any threat. protests have erupted in iran and in gaza, as well as in lebanon, jordan, pakistan, the occupied west bank, and other areas in the region. major airlines have reportedly suspended flights to tel aviv, including united, delta and british airways. this comes after a slew of airlines cancelled flights to beirut in the past several days. the un security council held a meeting on wednesday to discuss the situation. separately, the un secretary general is said to have called the strikes on beirut and tehran a "dangerous escalation" at a time when the focus should be on ach

hezbollah was retaliating for this — israel's assassination of a top commander, fuad shukr, in beirute was a huge loss to the iranian—backed group. now, it has sought revenge, but in a carefully calibrated attack. israel hit back in southern lebanon throughout the morning. this is the biggest flare—up here since the conflict began last october. well, just a few moments ago, we heard a very loud blast and you can see there — smoke is still rising in the direction of the border. now, we don't know yet exactly what has been hit but we do know that israel has been targeting firing positions that hezbollah has been using. so, israel's strikes are continuing here now. this weekend, hezbollah has been burying more of its dead. the conflict is far from over. for now, both sides have hit hard but stopped short of triggering all—out war. and our senior international correspondent orla guerin has more analysis from tyre in southern lebanon. in which the conflict has been heating up, and a day in which we had 100 israeli fighterjets in the air, 300 hezbollah rockets firing across the border. ther

sayid fuad shukr uh used to be the head of the planning and the uh the war operations in hisbullah, so this proves that hizbullah is an organization that works in institution. way, so it's not linked, the work is not linked to the absence or the presence of the commander, if the commander is martered, there are... more commanders, there is a way of working, i'm talking about the military way of of working, so was telling thesigners that if they thought that by killing and assassinating sayid, they would not reach their goal, that the capabilities of hisbullah is institutional, they can do what they want, what they plan to do, and no matter how sophisticated was the you know the military capabilities of the ziners, hizbullah will reach away to hit uh the targets plann to be target targeted inside the designist entity and this actually what happened in the in the morning because uh uh what designers have been trying to tell the you know the the settler audience and designist entity and... as well as the um the worldwide opinion that they are still capable uh invincible uh but hizbullah i

a couple of hours after fuad shukr was killed in beirut last month. brought the whole regents to the precipice of a regionwide war and one of the reasons why the united states has parked military assets and addition to what they already have in the region. it's incredibly dangerous. as i talk to you now, we don't know the full contours of the scope of this attack. it looks as though the israelis has only >>> hezbollah targets in southern lebanon, that's what they are saying. it looks as though hezbollah has only >>> military targets in northern israel. we have to put this in context. at the same time, the fear was this would expand to include all of lebanon for all of israel for the entire middle east. so far it seems to be somewhat contained into regions of lebanon and israel that have been the scene of violence ever since october 7. geographically, we haven't seen us expand its footprint beyond what has already been in play ever since october 7. remember, as we been watching the horrific violence going on in gaza and the horrific attacks on october

uh witnessing there, those were images of memorial being held for slain hezbulah um commander of fuad shukre in beirot just a couple nights ago uh madiam tell us what the mood is like uh we are at and anything else you could share with us well the mood of this funeral somewhat reminds us of the mood after the... in 2008, it was basically the same type of mood that you had, you have more people coming to the funeral, more than any funeral in the past for any other commander, in addition to the fact that many people are ready, as they say, we talk to the people of course here, they all say that they are ready for any of the repercussions that would be the resulting uh from this assassination and that this assassination needs to be of course uh there's oh looks like we just uh lost our press tv correspondent to madiam uh solid there let's give it second see if she gets reconnected madiam can you hear us uh miriam can you hear us okay seems like she can as soon as we we get her back in we're okay we're also going to welcome a resvan risk a political analyst. from beirot, let's start with with h

as a result of this strike , a prominent hazbollah military leader, fuad shukr, who was responsible for its missile program, was killed. moreover, he was effectively number two in the movement’s hierarchy, after its leader sheikh hassan nasrola, who was then promised to avenge the death of his comrade, and today he declared that this was only the first phase of the retaliatory strike against israel. the resistance declared its determination and steadfastness to respond to despotic aggression in order to equalize the number of losses, blood and victims inflicted on us throughout all the decades. while hezbollah strikes israel, israel itself continues to literally level the gaza strip. the day before alone , almost two dozen buildings were blown up in the palestinian enclave, including the large mosque in hanyounis, under which idf soldiers allegedly discovered underground weapons caches. according to the palestinian health ministry, 71 people have died from israeli bombing of all three gas stations in the last 24 hours alone, and the total number of victims on october 7 last year has alr

correct approach following the assassination of fuad shukr?k you, mean has the israeli entity actually faced any enemy that has known them so well? well, we need to understand the fact that the zionist mentality is uh, let's say full of all this or... orientalist approach, thinking of themselves as part of the better and superior western civilization, dealing with an under culture, that's their perception, so that's why and they have been able to achieve many successes against the arabs over the past seven decades until the rise of the resistance and the capacity of the resistance to drive or let say lead very successful policies in the confrontation against designist entity, this is what amazes uh them, so they don't expect such a high performance from us, yes in general the arabs, the muslims etc. but then they see a performance that matches there that even is much higher than and superior. to their uh policies, their way of thinking and their judgement. with that great point, we are going to continue, israeli expectations are increasing abo

he first said, our loss of sad mohsen, fuad shukr'. is very great, but this does not shake us at all. combined with the assassination of ismail hania, hamas political bureau chief, these losses will not weaken the movement's resolve to continue down the resistance path or alter the fundamental nature of the resistance front either. yavash, yavash, slowly, slowly, said the lebanese resistance leader when it come came to the response to iran. and the resistance front, he said, not responding was part of the response and punishment because the battle, the psychological, moral and military, leaving israelis anxious. the israeli regime's goals behind the genocidal onslot, he said, were clear, the assassination of the resistance leaders to derail the negotiations, the decision to not recognize the palestinian state and...

territory into the northern galilee, and this was not yet promised by hezbolah in retaliation for fuad shukrf 's chief military adviser sheikh hassan nasrul. the powerful attack announced by the militants is still ahead, and the military calls on citizens to be patient and vigilant. tsal nimtsa, we have very good defense systems, in addition, we have international partners who are expanding them. service work on the domestic front. today , the imam of the alyaksa mosque, the former grand mufti of jerusalem and palestine, akram said, was detained, calling on participants in friday prayers to mourn the martyr ismail haniyeh. it is difficult to judge the timing of the upcoming attack, while the head of the hamas politburo ismail was buried in katera haniyeh, whom israel denies being responsible for his liquidation. and the new british minister of defense john healy made an emergency mediation tour of... the united states, france and jordan shot down most of the iranian missiles and drones fired at israel. israel is at a very high level of preparedness for any scenario, both defensively and offe

that hisballah's leadership has indeed taken the correct approach following the assassination of fuad shukrty. doctor, i would love to ask you, i mean, has the israeli entity actually faced any enemy that has known them so well? well, we need to understand the fact that the zionist mentality is let's say full of all this orientalist approach, thinking of themselves as part of the better and superior western civilization dealing with. an under culture, that's their perception, so that's why uh, and they have been able to achieve many successes against the arabs over the past seven decades until the rise of the resistance and the capacity of the resistance to drive or let's say lead very successful policies and the confrontation against this zionist entity, this is what amazes them. so they don't expect such a high performance from us, yes and general the arabs, the muslims etc, but then they see a performance. that matches there that even is much higher than and superior to their uh policies, their way of thinking and their judgement. with that great point, we are going to continue. israeli
