lebanon's hazbillah resistance movement is carried out fresh retaliatory attacks on the israeli regime's military positions and settlements in northern occupied palestine. the movement said it fired a barrage of 42 missiles toward regime's military base at nakura. hez also struck the settlement of cafer giladi with a noor missile, several other. settlements were also targeted by the movements rockets while occupied city of saphed was struck again by a barage of rockets. hezbulah also struck gathering of israeli soldiers in the zoura artillery position with rockets. movement said attacks are in response to israeli violations against lebanese towns, villages and civilians. also added the retaliatory operations are also in support of palestinians in gaza and the resistance. now lebanese media has reported country's army has denied claims of withdrawing from its positions reaffirming its commitment to defend the south. according to security sources, the lebanese armies redeployed troops to border observation sites following early reports of withdraw and it comes intensified israely air strik

military, because they they need to break the military, it seems they are not able to do so, because hazbillahe from the people, and it is the people of the resistance that are also part and parcel of the uh of the resistance, and this is why we see direct systematic attacks. on civilians especially in areas where they they're even seeking refuge and this issue that resembles more and more what was happening in ghazza the whole past year as they attempted of course in many cases uh to give sometimes five to 10 minutes of warning and then they start shelling in areas where there are still civilians and that led to a big number of civilians being killed and let's not forget the the gaza strip. is very closed geographic space where you have very dense population, perhaps in lebanon there is still still some room for movement for the displace, and despite that the israelis have targeted, like i said, safe areas, specifically targeting residents where there are displays, and that seems to be part of their policy to put pressure on the resistance, and so that could be also another objective of the..

popular level, but when it comes to the politics, it might take a little time. now it seems, as hazbillah secretary general had said, it seems that what really dictates the future now of the of the region, what dictates, even how things move and how things are drawn in the region and lebanon and ghaza and all and everything else, is basically what's happening on the... frontlines: the israelis had in the past, of course, used the issue of air force and their supremacy in the air, they can do that, they continue to do that, they can target and destroy, that's obvious, they can kill as many civilians as they want, they can target ambulances, hospitals, schools, and that that is very clear, they can do that, but the the really significant issue is, can they stop hezballah's rockets for being fired towards the israeli settlements, can they bring back? back the israeli settlers that were occupying north uh occupy northern occupy palestine, so these are very significant questions that the israelies have said that this is what they want to achieve from this this war and this continuous aggressio

have the same excuses coming from the israeli regime that these buildings were holding weaponry, hazbillah weaponry and or where is you know hiding com combatants and so on, and yet after the strikes we we see that there were no weapons where they struck and most of the buildings that were brought down by bombs and they were there were civilian building residential buildings right, so and the death tool keeps rising, so in back in 2006 we had over, i think it was 1,300 if i'm not mistaken, around 1,300 lebanes killed by the israeli regime, and right now a week has passed and we're i think we're we have surpassed that number, if we have not we're around that number, so in just one week the same death doll has reached, we have reached the same death toll as we had in the 33-day war that was launched by by the israeli regime on uh against lebanon, so yes um, it is attempt at genocide, but will they achieve victory doing so? no, not at all, what determines whether or not the lebanese people will rise victorious from this is what's gonna happen on the battlefield, so we need to wait and see if

400 meters and so they did not even reach an extempt of one. and they reach that area only after hazbillah seemed to also use that as a strategy to be able to strike directats among the israeli soldiers and the elite forces, especially eagles and other units as well, um, but based on the images coming out from the israeli side, because of the big number of casualties among the israeli soldiers, there was a lot of movements a lot of transport. protation, the military helicopters are going in and out of that area to transfer and transport the israeli soldiers that were either killed or wounded, we also know that at least five officers from the elite forces were killed, why has resistance factions, and this in itself could also be a surprise that even the israeli military had expected that maybe the resistance would allow them maybe to enter into different areas, of course that dep. on the front itself and it is the resistance that of course has the ability to know when this maneuver would take place or that they would continue to deter the forces that are on the border as well as also struck

israelies have said that one of the major challenges that they have uh was the anti-armor unit for hazbillah, that they are able through the uh the missiles that they have uh when they launch their their their anti armor and anti-tank uh missiles, they are able to usually make sure destroy those tanks, which is something of a challenge for the israeli since they need those tanks in order to cover the ground forces that want to enter, and so that is additional uh challenge for the israelies, we see hezballah was ready from the very few hours uh of that confrontation to be able to make sure that they strike their targets against the israeli forces, the israelis are talking about uh eight soldiers, at least five of them, high ranking officers, of course that number is usually not accurate, especially when it comes from the israeli side, um, but the there are other other reports that we can hear that, of course we can not verify, but they're talking about at least dozens perhaps or over 15 israeli soldiers and officers that were killed in yesterday's clashes and if there are more attempts today,

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 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

town, hasbullah declared in the state last statement that early, the early hours of the morning, hazbillah was able to detect one of the israeli units that attempted to infiltrate and enter libanese territory, they said that they were... they confronted that force and they clash directly with that force leaving many many casualties among the israeli soldiers, so that i think prooves that is that hezballah is ready on all sides, but also has the knowledge to know that the israelis will be attempting incursions and where exactly they will be attempting them, and that is just one example of hezbalah's. readiness for a ground incursion and they said that this is one of the biggest ground forces that attempted to enter and this is in the settlement of miskap was able to target them with rockets, missiles and artillery fire as well, we know from the israeli media that the many casualties have been taken through helicopters towards the rambam hospitals. and the zif hospital that are in hfa and safad and they are talking about an exceptional incident that happened that occurred in that area specif

or not, of course, in addition to the israeli shelling and the continuous aggressions on lebanon, hazbillahquick question, please answer briefly, you know, the attack on the government hospital in marzayun, which is majority christian town, that is very weird uh, even by netanyahu standards, you now, how can they justify attacking that region that used to be spared in previous attacks and conflicts? well, it seems that this time around the conflict is quite different. there a lot of red lines that are being broken, we saw this in in palestine and ghazza, they targeted churches, they targeted hospitals, so there is absolutely no red lines, this is in addition to the fact that they are also trying to terrorize uh all the communities that are supportive of the people that are being displaced or even providing humanitarian assistance, which has nothing to do with religion or even political stances, and so that also shows that the israelis are definitely crossing... all the lives and not only targeting hospitals in areas which are perhaps not the supportive ground of the resistance, but also are

from the war planes and even from markava tanks and other uh types of shelling from the israelis, hazbillah number of units and israeli occupation forces that are in those bases and not only the original bases uh the original... units that were supposed to be uh in those bases, we also know that they there was another engagement of clashes uh in the uh in the east of mars uh that also it seemed to continue for several hours, i mean just an hour ago uh we learned from uh some eyewitnesses that there were sounds of clashes that continued uh and for several hours um and so this this is new phase that we have here between the resistances and uh the phase that they had promised uh where they would definitely meet and engage with the israelis first hand does have its own elite forces that have been ready and prepared in addition to the fact that they are on their land uh so they are quite ready uh for the israeli uh soldiers to come in. we also know that hazballah targeted and directly uh was able to strike targets in the in admit where there were also soldiers localized and all of the ker we hav

building in the bakka region so... those were residential buildings, they were not so to speak, hazbillahroad that everyone else was taking who was trying to flee and you know reach a surf safer place uh because of the um bombs that were being dropped and while we were fleeing while i was in the car i remember hearing left and right the sound of bombs dropping on the roads and and um thinking, will the next one drop on our car? you know, you see the the targeting was the targeting of civilians and not necessarily hasillah fighters, even though the israeli regime today loves to time and again emphasize that it's targeting hazul love fighters. we've seen the footages ourselves, we we're live in a time of social media, we do not need officials to tell us what is being really targeted, we can see with our own eyes, six residential buildings being flattened in dahya in the southern suburb. of beirot, how can we possibly think that all those six buildings were uh where where hazbullah fighters were located and they claim that those buildings hold weaponry, well we've seen the damage that has th

yes, i was coming to that actually, the operations by hazbillah did not also include only the uh confrontations and engagements with the israeli occupation forces in face to face combat, but also the launching of rockets and this is this last operation specifically. is one of the series of operations which was called khibar which has began two days ago, it retaliation for the for the attacks and the massacers committed in lebanon as well as the assassination of secretary general, they did not say it specifically that way, but they said that this is based on our stance of pledging our our pledge to the secretary general, inshallah that we will bow to continue on that same path of resistance, they said they targeted the this area, the nasir base is in the east of hyfa and they said that they used f two rockets to be able to strike that target, this is just one of many operations launched today more than 30 operations mostly including the confrontations that are at the border and this is unprecedented in all of the last year that we saw the the support front for hazball, they all of course made su

are saying that it was even greater than the extent of..." the strike that led to the marturdom of hazbillah secretary general atralla. the israelies are saying that their target was head of the executive council of hazballah, sayid. they are saying that he was underground bunker in that area. it's of course it's very, very difficult to be able to know now and confirm when the strike occurred in southern suburbs of took around two days for. to be able to lift some of the rubble and know if the and get confirmation of the assassination of husball secretary general, how however now with less than an hour perhaps since that strike, it would be very difficult to know that what what the strike was able to do, now we can say that perhaps the area of the had has also been threatened by the israeli. um the israelis and they have also they have targeted that area as we know now so there is new strike on the southern suburbs of beirot just now and that was in the area of hadad and that that is area which is also considered residential area in addition to the fact that it is area where it is used where

because there were other helicopters that were attempting to come and evacuate the soldiers but hazbillah also targeted that those israeli helicopters as well, so it seem that we have continuous confrontations throughout the early hours of the morning, in the middle of the night, hazballah still has not stopped to target the israelis and they seem to have also known where the israelis have shifted their other attempts to for incursions after moving away from the area of man and for example now they're going more towards monara and near the villages of bleda, and so this is what the situation is, is really shelling from the air against civilians, the resistance is really engaging in combat, face to face combat actually with the israelies at the border. yes, mariam, thank you, and we also received reports about power out outage at the beirout international air. howard, can you please give us more details about that? it's very difficult to be able to really know if the outage is only temporary, because this happened, for example, the other night there was heavy shelling in the southern subur

expressive headlines, the hazbillah resistance movement as fired barages of missiles or rockets that is really settlements and military sights amid regime's aggression against lebanon. more than dozen civilians were killed in israeli air strikes on two homes in central gaza, raising genocidal war's death total to over 41,600.

the israelit might enter certain areas uh and it is only normal for when there are clashes that hazbillah strikes in one area and leaves that area and they perhaps would take hold of whatever is left in that that base, that is only normal when it comes to military confrontation, but those footage specifically when they claim they were in a tunnel is quite from reminds us of what happened in gaz towards the beginning of the of the invasion, especially, especially in the shif hospital where they claim that there was an area where they kept the the prisoners and so on, and so the israelies are still using fabrications and baseless issues and and videos that are just fabricated to try to say that they have been able to achieve something in south lebanon, but up until now we can say that we all we heard from south. was the sound of fire against those israelis and we know that many of them were taken to the hospitals within the israeli regime. of course the the issue of these flashes comes a time when has basically went through two phases or two parallel lines of resistance, they have their gro

that even in 2006, the focus was in certain areas where there for example you have the hall where hazbillahs was on there and the surrounding of that area, however this time there is no clear reason or reasoning behind what they are targeting and where and why, so it's it's very difficult to tell where they were target and why they are actually targeting that area and it's like i said based on my knowledge of the of the neighborhoods in that area they're all resident there only supermarkets and shops and so on. are we looking at the airport being targeted again? do you think and what were the reasons behind the airport? if i'm reading this correctly, some of the wires indicating that there's a possibility of that happening? there is a possibility of that happening, however, after the evacuation of foreign nationals, i think that this is this is probably what's what's going to. be happening based on what we're looking and what the israelis and how they are conducting their their aggression on lebanon uh before in 2006 the first thing that was targeted was the airport uh now we had there were

which is the bad post, but they also targeted the jel alder post also with a round of rockets and hazbillah explained something significant is that they um they... also in the last 24 hours they were able to spot and observe and even the surveillance let them to know the details of how the israeli elite forces were attempting to move around. we also know that based on hizbillah statements that they said that one of the forces was able to perhaps infiltrate or they allowed it to infiltrate, go to the municipality or the sent the the the hall of the city or the town. of what i see to try to plant explosive devices, but hazbullah was able to detonate previous devices that they had planted in that area, and therefore all the explosis that were with the elite force also exploded in that forest leading to very big number of israeli soldiers killed or wounded, also launched attacks, rockets towards the settlements of almanara, that was also in the middle of the night basically, and so... you can see that the clashes uh that are face to face combat between has fighters and the israeli forces contin

hizballah is movement, it's not just one person, so when you when you're assassinating the leader of hazbillah, well naturally another will rise and another leader will come in his place and that we're going to see that happen as we listen to the speech of the deputy chief sheikh naim assim, so what you're up against is people of resistance, people who have years and years in lebanon experienced the oppression, the israely oppression first hand, and they have decided, the people themselves decided to pick up arms and create movement that is called halbullah, so you are against people who believe in the ideologies of hazbullah in fighting in defense of... their land and you're against the people majority of which are muslims, lebanon is muslim majority country, you can check that up, so you who are who are these people? the lebanese people are people who are saying today, if if we win this battle we are victorious, and if we are martered, we are victorious, so we are not afraid of death, if you're going to eliminate, the leader of hazbullah, okay, you you killed one person, there are 100 thousa

until now the israelies are saying that they have the main challenge which is the the issue of the hazbillah uvs and so that development was proof that the as hazb secretary. general said on the assassination during the funeral of he said that this assassination will not weak in the resistance, but on the contrary, this will make more tens of thousands of who are willing to fight and are ready to face the israel, we also saw that now has something called the air force and that is the first time that we see hazbullah actually using that air force whether it is in the uad that can strike targets and shell... the uh the target before actually being used as suicide uvs in addition to the fact that has its own air defens system uh which they have not used extensively yet but still have succeeded in taking down several drones in israels as well as making sure the workplanes leave the new spice. thank you man. one quick question uh for mr. nape before we take a short break from rolling coverage. mr. nape here we saw um on the bottom of your screen breaking news of uh hamas and resistance movements
