now and hearing about all this artillery fire and the shelling is always being uh retaliated by hazbollah in all of these uh operations and hezballah seems to be extensively using uh suicide drones lately and this also proves that all the talk of the israelis for the so-called um preemptive..." strikes yesterday that they say would be able to stop hazballah attacks against uh the barracks, the military barracks, we see that this has not been successful, and we see how hazbullah still continues to be able to infiltrate um the border and go towards the occupied territories and hit targets deep in the heart of the the military zone of the israeli occupied occupation forces. "the iranian president criticizes western advocates of human rights for remaining silent on israely violations of international and humanitarian law and supporting..." the genocide in gaza masud paza made the comments while meeting with the qatari prime minister sheikh mohammad bin abdul rahman altani in tehran. the president called for joint action to pressure israel's western backers to force the regime to halt the crim

and hizbillah has declared the martterdom of ali abdlali and this also led to a retaliation for hazbollah in addition to many other operations, the last of which was in hadab, yaron, we know that hazballah targeted at that post which is close to the border, but they also targeted another area which is in the settlement of avivim where they say there was a residential or building where the which is used by israeli soldiers and that was targeted directly by hazballah. rockets in addition to of course targeting of the area of mitat which where they say also that they targeted not only just the settlement but also places where they know there were whereabouts of israeli soldiers uh using rockets as well and this is usually what hazbollah does to retaliate uh for either the assassination or the targeting of civilians. the israely military has carried out a fresh air strike targeting a car in syria near the border with lebanon. at least one person was killed in the attack. the attack happened on damascus beiroot road near the zabadina or zabadani area. the identity of the person has not been gi

crossing red lines and so hazbollah is now attacking of baracks, we have the one of the main command centers that was targeted yesterday and today also an africa. to have the reports coming out from naharaya, if that is correct, also that is very significant blow to the israeli um military when it comes to how hisb is able to inflict abulosis even that far, but however up until now those those operations are still in within the context of support for gaza, support for the resistance in gaza, we still do not have a retaliation for the assassination of chukan, that assassinate, that retaliation might be something even greater than that and so hezballah is using that leverage of the fact that they have already opened the scope of the support uh front, well at the same time also retaliating for the civilians in lebanon, retaliating for the the fighters that are also following the being targeted by the israelis and at the same time keeping the israelis on high alert when it comes to what the retaliation will be, even in the retaliation, it is expected to be more than one operation. or one

beirot, which iran and hazbollah have vowed to retaliate for. i'd like to welcome my guests to this news review. ken stone, executive committee member hamilton coalition to stop the war, hamilton, and scott bennett, former us army psychological warfare officer out of san francisco, thank you both for being with me, let's start it off with ken, uh, can your thoughts on this? i mean, it is absolutely amazing when we look at the continual carnage by the zinis regime, and yet we continue to see the united states. give more and more money and more and more uh supplies and military equipment and basically whatever the zanist regime needs. your thoughts? well, i'm glad we're focusing on the us government, because uh, i regard us government as waging this war uh using israel as its proxy in much the same way it uses ukraine as its proxy. to fight russia, the us is increasingly desperate to maintain its tegimony over the west asian region, and in to do so, they have, they have thought, they have decided that making israel strong and supporting it to the

well, should the war extend to two months, hazbollah would likely sustain an average of 1,00 launches daily. when it comes to the stats, since hazbollah and the israeli regime began their daily skirmishes, here they are even though the israeli regime claims that "hezbollah is endangering lebanese lives. it actually has attacked southern lebanon almost five times more than heizbollah has attacked the occupied territories, but what stands out are the more than 6,700 rockets, missiles and explosive uavs that have been fired by hezbullah. well, the yemini army has praised hazbullah's latest attacks. against israel and vowed to tear down the wall that israel is using to protect itself. yemenis have praised hisbollah's latest retaliatory attacks against israel as a brave and significant action that exposes israel's vulnerability. people we spoke with in the streets of the yemani capital say the attack by hizballah demonstrates the axis of resistance is stronger now than ever before and capable of striking the. enemy any time, they hope the latest attack by hizalah is just the beginning of s

in addition to many other operations, the last of which was in hadab, yaron, we know that hazbollah targeted that post which is close to the border, but they also targeted another area which is in the settlement of avivim where they say there was a residential or building uh where there which is used by israeli soldiers uh and that was targeted directly by hazbolah's rockets in addition to of course targeting the area of meetat which where they say also that they targeted not only just the settlement but also places where they know there were where about israeli soldiers uh using rockets as well and this is usually what hazballah does to retaliate uh for either the assassination or the targeting of civilians and that does it for this additional world news thanks for being with us let's bye-bye for now crisis, devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, israel's assassination of hamos leader. to occupy palestine, to expell palestinians from their homes and to kill them at will. they needed excuse, so they called the land their own home. homeland overnight, u

suburbs of beirot had also led to the killing of five civilians, that too was another reason for hazbollah to retaliate, now how hazbullah will be retaliating, they said that today's operation has ended successfully, does this mean that the retaliation of the first phase has ended, will there be another uh part of the retaliation uh that will be going towards other places, or will it depend on the israeli reaction reaction towards that retaliation specifically? now concerning what hazbullah targeted exactly uh, there are a lot of speculations, but we know from israeli media, the israeli dails talking about what could be secret headquarters for the israeli uh intelligence, you mentioned earlier perhaps the most... um also headquarters, which is also potentially supposed to be something of secret uh place, it's not a headquarters that is well-known, and if that hazbullah did succeed in reaching that area with their suicide drones, that in itself is very significant and critical breach of the israeli security. we heard from the israeli officials saying that to this is a state of emergency, th

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

crimes and not to commit uh acts of aggression. the assassinations that took place just this week of hazbollah commander fuad shuk in beirot hamas leader ismail hania in tehran. of course the two of the latest high profile assassinations by the regime. now it has taken responsibility for shook's assassination. it has not said anything about honey as a assassination remaining silent and why do you think that's the case? why do you think it uh hasn't officially taken responsibility for hania's assassination? well it it took officially this stance because for too many many reasons, first uh netanyahu wanted to present achievements to the zionist. audience who and public who was disappointed with his misdeeds not being able to achieve any of his promises and objectives that he declared on himself to free the prisoners of war israeli prisoners of war to wipe out the islamic resistance and other resistance groups and to ' let's say take over the gaza stream, all these they he were objectives that he failed to achieve, so that's why he wanted to present some achievements especially with the dire situ

of senior hezbullah military official foad shukr may have been fullfilled if the results are what hazbollah had aimed for. now this operation has been appropriately called operation arbaain and included two phases of hezbollah's retaliation for the assassination of the hezbollah commander. well the israely military accused hezbulah of preparing to fire missiles and rockets towards. territory, so it preemptively struck 40 targets in southern lebanon with 100 fighter jets, destroying what it says thousands of launch pads, but that just wasn't the case. for starters, hezbullah went ahead with this missile and drone strikes anyways. well, hazbullah has said it had launched 340 rockets towards 11 military bases, but the 340 rockets were only a distraction, those struck multiple sights, military barracks and iron dome installations belonging to the occupation forces in northern occupied palestine. well, the important attended target, a qualitative military target, was the 8200 unit in glulot base close to tel aviv. now, the other target was the air defense and missile defense base in ainshima. we

not to commit uh acts of aggression. you now the assassinations that took place just this week of hazbollah commander fuad shuk in beirot, hamas leader ismail hania in tehran, of course the two of the latest high profile assassinations by the regime. now it has taken responsibility for shook's assassination. it has not said anything about honey as assassination. remaining silent and why do you think that's the case? why do you think it uh hasn't officially taken responsibility for hania's assassination? well it it took officially this stance because for too many many reasons, first netanyahu wanted to present achievements to the zionist audience who... and public who was disappointed with his misdeeds, not being able to achieve any of his promises and objectives that he declared on on himself to free the prisoners of war, israeli prisoners of war, to wipe out the islamic resistance and other resistance groups and to let's say the take over the gaza, all these they he were objectives that he failed to achieve, so that's why he wanted to present some achievements especially with the dire situ

hazbullah's recent operation, which was a direct um targeting from a swarm of bomb laiden auvs from hazbollah that reach the al sahal battalion which is in the bait hilal baracks and seemingly hazbullah. was able to really target the area where there were officers and soldiers from the israeli uh occupation forces localized in that area, you know from israeli media that they are saying that there was one soldier injured uh and so hizbillah seemingly has succeeded in really hitting areas where there were soldiers and officers. israel carried out large scale raises in several cities across the occupied westbank including janin, nablus, tubas and two karam. in jenin, at least two people were killed and several injured following israel, the sniper fire, and some of the wounded are still in critical condition, earlier we spoke. ramala correspondent for your latest: the iof has officially started a wide range military operation on the north side, on the northern side of the west bank. the northern side includes nables, jin karim, qalqilia, tubas and all the cities that were actually the raids never

meanwile countries that cooperated. with iran included yemen, syria and iraq, with lebanese hazbollahs, which was part of a barrage of roughly 300 missiles and drones. the uk, france and jordan also supported israel in intercepting iranian. defense shield as mentioned like the iron dome and therefore uh that was one of the reasons ewan was able to penetrate through that. now as a regional missile power iran possesses many. shaab one missiles is one range of 300 kilometers. you have the shaab two with the range of approximately 550 kilometers and the shab 3 the range of nearly 1300 kilometers. also reports of the development of shaob 4 in the kosar intercontinental ballistic missiles which expands iran's missile range even further. iran has also... unveiled the fata hypersonic missile, the hypersonic missile is worth noting over here, this hypersonic missile that you're going to see here is the first uh generation fatah one, range of 1400 kilometers, one of few countries to actually possess uh hypersonic missils and then you have the enveiling of the fatah 2 as you see here, it's an up

hisbolah's recent operation which was a direct um targeting from sworm of bomb laiden auvs from hazbollahrget the area where there were officers and soldiers from the israeli uh occupation forces localized in that area, you know from israeli media that they are saying that there was one soldier injured uh and so hizballah seemingly has succeeded in really hitting areas where there were soldiers and officers. all right, we have more breaking news coming uh, the resistance movement, hamas says that israel is playing with fire in the event of attack on the alaxa mosk, we have heard uh threats from uh uh leadership, the tel aviv leadership make loaded rhetoric with respect to violations and uh in the future at the mosque, some even saying they want to build a mosk there, i mean pardon a synagogue there on the mosk compounds. so as soon as we find out what this uh last warning is to the regime by the resistance movement we will share with you here on press tv meanwhile the islamic resistance in iraq says conduct a new retaliatory attack on israely position and occupied territories group said i

we learn from secretary general, that is going to be something that is done very calculated, so hazbollah definitely hit the israelies were at first most not in civilian areas. now the confrontations, the normal course of uh operations in support of the resistance for the last 300 days continue today, of course on several posts, there was direct operations using normal artillery and rockets towards al manara as well as birkatrica earlier had targeted devices in ramya and even launched during the early hours of the night dozens of rockets towards the settlement, the colonial settlement of baitel, which was the first time it was targeted since we did have the killing of two civilians in the town of dedium mess. the israelis also of course continue to target several towns, the latest of which was a uh bombings and challenges on the town of pola, we know that the ambulances have rushed. to the area, there is expected to be some human casualties in in the town of tola, there were also several other instances of artillery and drone attacks in tibet, which led to the the malfunction of the elect

in retaliation, so i think we'll definitely the upcoming hours will be seeing a retaliation from hazbollah which is um quite significant, perhaps further away from the border a strategic may be military base with the use of caticia or... even other heavy rockets, now concerning the hazbillah operations, we had several attacks on the post, including the occupied lebanese shibar farms as well as and also had attack on al baghdad also targeted a group of soldiers in the area of shutula which is somew of a forest area it is in the words of suland so despite the fact that it is in some way difficult to pinpoint and see the movement of solters as well as seems to have ability to know the timing and the movements of soldiers. the missile strike has targeted a military base housing american troops in eastern syria. the attack struck the base located at the kinico gasfield north of the syrian city of der al. reports indicate the missiles were launched from the deserts of western iraq. following the strike, us warplanes were seen patrolling in the skies over der alzor. there have been no reports of

"the detaliation of the islamic republic and the resistance groups like hazbollah due to the assassinationitary commander fuad shukr and hamas leader ismal hania uh has the israely officials and the public at large their shaking in their seas the potential targets and whether this will be joint attacks or solo once have been the subject of much debate. now one potential target is tel aviv, area which is called the gush dan, as you see over here, this is..." the metropolitan area, which is heavily populated area, for intelligence and military agencies of the israely regime are actually located in this area, and just days ago they actually got a scare when they were told that they were targeted and had to evacuate from their sites in tel aviv. then there's uh kiria, that's a district also in central tel aviv, as you see here, which is home to many administrative buildings like the military intelligence camperabine, the men building in the camp is the matkal tower that you see over there and that is the home to the offices of the top brass of the israeli military and it's surrounded by other

leader ismaal han in tehran on wednesday just hours after killing a senior commander of the lebanese hazbollahgion, now during his stay, safat is exchanging views with officials on regional and international matters, the meeting comes at height intentions following israel. into iran and it's ongoing gaza genocide. iran has been actively engaging with several arab nations, including jordan, egypt and qatar to address the issues. the ameny armed forces say that they have shot down an american drone while uh carrying out hostile acts in northwestern saata region air space. the air defense forces of the yemani armed forces. shut down an american aircraft type mq9 while it was carrying out hostile acts in the air spaces of sata governoratite using locally manufactured surface to air missile. this aircraft is seventh of its type that was shut down during the battle of the promised victory and in support of palestinian people in gaza. now the bugatti general said that the ship named groden was also successfully targeted in the gulf of eden for violating a ban imposed by sana. the ban stipulates. the

jordan. meanwile countries that cooperated with iran included yemen, syria and iraq, with libonise hazbollahich was part of a barrage of roughly 300 missiles and drones. the uk, france and jordan also supported israel in intercepting iranian missiles and also the us army patriot missile battery in iraq, well that intercepted uh more uh from that uh respective. we are also looking at israel's advanced military technology. now despite that iran was able to actually identify and to exploit israely weaknesses during... is retaliatory attack uh on april 13, known as operation true promise. in a coordinated strike, iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at the occupied territories. the one major weakness has been israel's missile defense shield, as mentioned, like the iron dome, and therefore uh, that was one of the reasons iran was able to penetrate through that. now, as a regional missile power, iran possesses uh many. shab one missiles is one range of 300 kilometers of the shob 2, with the range of approximately 550 kilometers and the shop 3. range of nearly 1,300 kilometers also reports

the leader of the sheid movement hazbollah today announced a quote sensitive attack on israel, whichout simultaneously from several directions, namely from... yemen and iran. against this background , new threats are pouring in from the united states against iran itself. in particular, secretary of state anthony blinken promises tehran some very serious consequences. well, in tel aviv, everything is getting louder there are calls to strike first. well, instead of waiting. sergei pashkov and alexander belibov are following the alarming developments . in the morning, a piercing signal warning of an air attack sounded throughout the north of israel from haifa to aqadaria and kiryat shmana. at least two hezbollah combat drones broke into the country's airspace, the drones' flight was observed by residents of the north, they were filmed on mobile phones, but the system is almost powerless against targets flying at extremely low altitudes, anti-aircraft gunners shot down only one combat vehicle, the second interceptor missile, having missed, exploded on the highway. i was in the car and sa

israeli drone attack a car in siddon has killed two people including a hamas official. meanwhile hazbollah retaliatory attacks hit several israeli military bases in southern lebanon in response to the regime's killing of to hezbollah forces. our correspondent mariam saleh has more from beirot. the israelis targeted vehicle in the southern town of saidon, now simon is of course the first town from beirut uh towards south lebanon, so here it seems the israelis are also going away from that uh acrossing those border lines that hazbullah has put and the limits uh those boundaries of. keeping it limited to south lebanon, they targeted the vehicle and we know now that one of the people who was killed was a hamas official in the ain alway palestinian refugee. camp, which is in the southern town of syden. the israelis have also targeted several areas, especially the town of hanin, where there was heavy shelling and bombardment, which seemingly carpet bombing those towns that are just adjacent to the border. hisbollah has launched several retaliatory operations for the israeli assassinations of his

hasn't succeeded in 10 months to destroy a sort of a minor militia in palestine, they can't take on hazbollah, they're too scared to go full on with them. let's... alone iran and the entire axis of resistance, so they're in a real connundrom, they really don't know where to go, they they caught between uh the rock and a hard place, and they really are are stuck for ideas and i think that the axis of resistance obviously is getting more and more bold given that the us has no idea what it's doing except that it's going to sink with israel uh which it says it's uh it's kind of a it's major if you like policy uh imperative in west asia, why? i don't know, because they're wasting all billions of dollars in keeping economy which is now sinking day by day. 60,00 businesses are have collapseduh in this period since october the 7th, it's being said, hundreds of thousands of israelis have evacuated the northern region and the southern regions around gaza, the economy is dying its feet, that's by all accounts, legally the ic. of course and the icc have also dammed america and dammed the israelis by issu

area which they were claiming was factory for hazbolah or area where a stock pile of arsenal for hazbollah of course after double checking that area it was actually a civilian facility cement fac. where you have two family, sudanese family that work in that factory that were many members of the syrian family were killed, we're talking about and several were injured from these two families who are living in that facility, now as they made it clear before and as we have they would towards new here, there are that have been... for basically like a blacklist from hizballah, they're going for bit by bit all those occupied settlements that have not been targeted by hazballah, they are going, they have been targeting them, and today they targeted the settlement of elite hashahed, now before we have heard about, but it has not been targeted this way by hizballah, it has always been the surrounding of that selment that were targeted, now hasballah launched, as you mentioned some 50. kitusha rockets, realeli media that those rockets really hit their target. now there is, there are speculations that

he noted that the us seeks to deceive public opinion to contain uh to contain retaliation from hazbollah and iran in... name of negotiations, the yemen leader asserted that his country's armed forces will continue their retaliatory operations against the ships linked to israel and his supporters on high seas. the yemani leader also called on the people in the arab country to hold another million man march in support of palestine this friday. hezbollah and the israeli military have exchanged new crossborder fire in a series of tit for tatat attacks along lebanon's southern border, our correspondent mariam saleh joined us earlier from the area with more details, let's say: listen, well, in the last 10 minutes or so, there were some more than 10 missiles that were launched by the israelis occupation forces towards several towns just behind us, we saw how the israelis targeted the heart of the city of khiyam, which is behind us, the sounds of explosions were heard throughout this area, we also had several uh instances of artillery fire from the israelis, the... is usually launched these atta

hazbullah's recent operation which was a direct um targeting from swarm of bomb laiden auvs from hazbollah that reach the al sahal ' italian which is in the bait hilal baracks and seemingly hasbullah was able to really target the area where there were officers and soldiers from the israeli uccupation forces localized in that area you know from israeli media that they are saying that there was one soldier injured uh and so hazballah seemingly has succeeded in really hitting areas where there were soldiers and officers. a number of jordanians have gathered near israel's embassy in ammon to show solidarity to the palestinians and to refirm their support for the resistance in gaza. raad batush has more. the air near the israeli embassy in amman is thick with raw emotion and unwavering resolve, carrying palestinian flags and chanting slogans against israel's genocide. the demonstrators have come together in a strong. show of solidarity with. the national forum for supporting the resistance organized the demonstration led by the secretary general of the islamic action front. the jordanian people

there were whereabouts of israeli soldiers uh using rockets as well and and this is usually what hazbollah does to retaliate uh for either the assassination or the targeting of civilians. thousands of people in morocco have held a propanestan rally in the capital rabat. protest is marched to the parliament condemning their government's normalization of ties with israel. they called for an end to diplomatic ties with the tel aviv regime. protest is also demanded immediate ceasefire in gaza. today we came to say enough of this war, stop the massacers, stop this genocide, stop these very ugly murders. a similar rally was also held in pakistan's capital, islamabad, protesters there slamed israel's crimes, in indonesia thousands more. to the us embassy to condemn washington support for tel aviv. protest has also held banners honoring the legacy of the martied palestinian leader ismail hanyer. they chanted slogans against israel and his assassination drive and called on muslim countries across the world to unite against israeli oppression of palestinians. many other world cities have also witnes

from the israeli, so the main issue for them now is what the retaliation will be from resistance hazbollah and the biggest question is will there be a unified retaliation between hazbillah's resistance, the resistance of and also of yemen and iraq, since they do have also a reason to retaliate, especially after the assassination of this in the islamic republic of iram, which also pressed with the fact that there is going to also be avitaliation from the islamic republic of iran, but will it be united? strike uh that touches in the heart of the israeli regime or will it be separate operations? another act of aggression, the us and britain have launched attacks on the yemani island of cameron and the country's fodeda province. the details on the possible casualties and damage are sketchy. the us and britain have carried out series of strikes on yemen since january. the us has also separately conducted almost daily rais against yemeny positions. allegedly to stem the country's attacks on israely bound ships. yemen has been among the countries that has provided strong support for palestinians

if the israelis do decide to launch some sort of a perhaps a preemptive strike on lebanon, before hazbollah retaliates for the assassination of fuad shukur, then they will also be getting a response, which is quite heavy from hasulah. last but not least to wrap up the bulletin, the war in ukraine has intensified in recent weeks after kiev launched an unexpected offensive on russia's kirks region, we have discussed the issue in our news review program. here's the full story and what our guests had to tell us. and now it's time for the news review section, we delved deeper into one of the days top stories, so stay with us. ukraine claims his forces are advancing in russia's southwestern region of cursk, even as russia says its military is blocking the advance. ukraine's military says forces have advanced between 1 and 3 kilometers in some parts of kirsk. "the operation is the first ukrainian incursion into russian territory since the war began in february 2022. kyev says the operation is meant to persuade russia to enter fair negotiation process. meanwhile, moscow says it is repelling ukraini

several areas that they say are hazbullah weapons uh stock files. uh storages, areas where there are hazbollah members, but of course as many of the authorities of course have taken a look into those uh those shelling, there was pretty heavy shelling mostly on the residential towns and these are mostly the towns that are in the border region uh they have been evacuated from civilians so so far we're not talking about any casualties even among hezballah members but if we want to talk about all the shelling that has taken place from the israelis aitasha kam as well as ramya and katariat sayyad and zin that were those were the towns that witnessed the heaviest shelling from the israeli war plane so hazbulah has of course retaliated for all those aggressions in addition to previous aggressions that were against the bakar region and areas where there are civilians including yesterday's assassination in the town of in the city of syden which led to the killing of one of the palestine. excuse me, one of the palestinian resistance factions, he is a considered an official in the al quds jihadi, jihadi,

the lebanese resistance movement hazbollah has carried out large-scale rocket and drone strikes against israely positions deep inside northern occupied territories. hazbolla says it fired more than 320 rockets at 11 israeli sights and military bases. movement says the first phase of the operation was completed with success. hezbulah conducted the strikes after israel carried out what it called a preemptive attack on southern lebanon. hezbella has rejected the allegations as quote empty claims. meanwile the israely prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called security cabinet meeting to discuss hisb's strike. the regime has also declared a 48 hour state of emergency as authorities ordered all universities and beaches in the port city of haifa to be closed until further notice. here are additional images from the exchange of fire between hisbollah and israel triggered by the regime's air strikes on southern lebanon. mar saloom is a political analyst who joins us from beirot, my son, welcome, we've had this uh large-scale retaliatory attack uh, which can be also called uh response to the a

hazbollah said that they were able to score direct hits against the areas where there are soldiers and officers localized and positioned in those in that baracks specifically, of course has perhaps have documented this this operation, of course we need to wait and see, this is what we have from hezbollah, later also we got another statement from hazballah stressing that they also launched another swarm of suicide drones towards the the recent also um headquarters of the 91st division, is also known as the guili formation and it is also territorial infantry division and the significance about the fact that it is in the elite hashaher area and elite hashahar was first targeted by hazballah um just around eight days ago after the massacre that the israelies committed in killing 10 civilians including two children and now it seems it has become part of hezballah's list of targets which they continue to target of course in retaliation for the attacks that we are seeing right now and hearing about all this artillery fire and the shelling is always being uh retaliated by hezballah in all of t

know there were whereabouts of israeli soldiers uh using rockets as well, and this is usually what hazbollah does to retaliate for either the assassination or the targeting of civilians, we also know that hazballah targeted the alaasi area with artillery fire as well as like we said with mitat and that's it's possible that we do have another attack by hazballah and the targeting in the use of kuchusha rockets, we also know that the israelies attempted to stop those rockets using the... done platform and their defenses, but they have been unsuccessful in stopping those rockets, of course all of this is, well there is also continuous anticipation both in lebanon and within the israeli regime uh for the possible retaliation, not only of course from lebanon's resistance for the assassination of for chukot, but you also have the anticipation for the retaliation, which could come from the islamic republic of iran for the assassination of sm hany, and there there's a lot and of course speculations on whether the retaliation is going to be a united strike um uh which would hit areas that are very st

meanwhile, israel has assassinated the hamas political bureau chief and senior hazbollah commander in a matter of hours emits the genocidal war on palestinian people. regional. resistance groups which acted in coordination in recent months in the face of the gaza genocide have vowed retaliation. israel's assassinations and a possible response by the axis of resistance were the topics of our explainer program. when it comes to targeted assassinations the israeli regime leads the pac. but why has israel resorted to this terroristic act which? is against international law, and why did israel decide to carry out two targeted assassinations in a matter of 48 hours, knowing that it would face a retaliation which may include all or some of the resistance groups in west asia? well, it's worth first uh taking a look at the resistance groups and countries in the west asia region. you're looking at uh the three major ones, lebanon, syria and yemen, of which uh they are hosting these resistance groups like lebanon hosting hezbollah, syria home to the national defense force. and then yemen host of

edition of the spotlight, we will look at the chances for secefire amits the possibilities of major hazbollaham. daniel, author and researcher joins us from bayroot. also joining us is eve zangler, author and activist who joins us from montreal. welcome to you both, daniel yes, let me first start with you and ask you about the strike that happened at the school uh... which was a real uh uh shocker in terms of the massacker that happened uh and we had 125 palestinians that were killed as a result uh now it was said that the air strike actually hit a school but it it hit the mosk and it was during morning prayers we know that some reported as such but many did not um and my question to you lies in how this strike happened and in what was used three 20 pound bombs uh that we know of the mk84 us made uh it would cover 100 meter area and destroy anything within that, why do you think that was used in such a ferocity and with such extreme explosives when they could have used a lower dosage of bombs unless their intent was for maximum civilian casualties? well, i think the intent has been all along

happen, they really did not expect that, and i think if we if we look at 2006 compared to now, what hazbollah can do and possess now is even far greater, well david, 60,00 people evacuated. from northern settlements, i mean that's pretty significant, isn't it? it's extremely significant, now this happened very early on the 60,00 were evacuated, and indeed uh uh kiriyat shimona city or town up in that region in the north east uh was entirely evacuated as well, there are still some settlements which are within about 10 kilometers of the border which have not been evacuated and that's because they haven't been attacked at all by heizbollah, but what happens of course is that as these things escalate u as the designers insist on attacking civilian targets, then hezballah will escalate as well, and in the last few days we've seen for example attacks and new settlements which will now be uh uh evacuated, so what we see is that there are 60 thousand people, it will it will now become more who are being put up at the expense of the government effectively airbnbs and hotels and mental accommodation, t

an aggression that does not have only one label, it's not only a direct assassination against one hazbollah commander. this is a direct attack, first of all, in the heart of the southern suburbs of beirot, with everything that it represents, in addition to the fact that it was a direct aggression against civilians, it is also assassination against hazballah's commanders, which hazballah needs to retaliate, of course, and he sp said that the retaliation will be inevitable, and that... need to await this this assassination, he also said something important, which is that there is separation now between the supporter front, which they continue in south lebanon, although he said that in the last two days we had lessened the number of operations, actually stopped the operations, and we noticed that there weren't any hizballah operations despite the fact that there were israeli aggressions and shelling in south lebanon that were continued then not stop, but the resistance did not launch any operations in support of gaza in the last two days. is only to make sure that they have their calculations

speculate what type of retaliation will be, it's not clear, i'm sure we'll get some clarification from hazbollah secretary general on this issue, but when it comes to the proof of targeting, this destined um uh target if it is in tel aviv, does have hizballah have proof? this proof is not for the people of lebanon who have full trust in the resistance, nor is it for the palestinian factions? so also seem to have full trust in hazballah, if the resistance says it targeted tel aviv then it did target tel aviv, however this will be very significant to clearly dictate to make sure that all the israeli claims are not false, sorry sorry for them, we we are now airing some lime images from lebanon, there is this uh funeral, if you could tell us uh, it looks to be hezbollah member, if you could tell us about the the casualties uh on both sides as far as we know. well heizballah has declared that two people, two members of its resistance have been killed, this is perhaps the result of the attack on the town of tieri, we also had an assassination and direct attack and targeting of vehicle uh here in the t

meanwile countries. that cooperated with iran included yemen, syria and iraq, with lebanese hazbollah also fire missiles at israel from lebanon. now were not for the participation of other countries in shooting down iran's missiles and drones, this regime would have been overwhelmed by operation true promise. one of the reasons the us uh, well they shot down more than 80% or 80 drones, that is, which was part of barrage of roughly 300 missiles and drones. the uk, france and jordan also supported israel in intercept. iranian missiles and also the us army patriot missile battery in iraq, well that intercepted more uh from that uh respective. we are also looking at israel's advanced military technology, now despite that iran was able to actually identify and to exploit israeli weaknesses during his retaliatory attack on april 13, known as operation true promise. in the coordinated strike, iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at the occupied territories. the one major weakness. has been israel's missile defense shield as mentioned like the iron dome and therefore uh that was uh o

intelligence sites that were hit by hazbullah, and showing of course details uh about this target, it seems hazbollah has meticulously studied uh these these targets and they have all these details, it's important to to to note that. also on the speech of hazwell secretary general, you mentioned the fact the issue of the uh the talks, hezballah is giving way to talk, since hezballah's objective from day one on october 8th was to put pressure on the israeli military to force a war of attrition and force it to stop its genocidal war on ghazza, so that was the objective, the main objective and to make sure that they are backing the palestinian resistance in a manner that it does not fall under the in the hands of the israel. and they said that it is not, it's prohibited that we see any weakness of the resistance, we can see of course that has give definitely given push um for the resistance fighters not only inside but also in the west bank at even deep in the heart of the 1948 lands. um we also saw that throughout the time when for example the first truce in november of 2023 hasbullah directly stopped
