, areas along a southern lebanese border have been scenes of intensified fire exchanges between heizballah and israel since the regime began its bloody onslot on gaza back in october as well leader sayid hasan nastralas repeatedly warned israeli regime against launching a full-scale war on lebanon. attentions mount along the... lebanese border as a senior commander was killed in israel's latest attacks. madiamsoll reports. the israelis said, and they claim that he is one of the main monitors, orchestrators of the resistance in south lebanon, especially now, and he was also someone who basically monitored and first hand was overlooking the operation in mayrun, which is considered. for now the most significant operation that has occurred against the israeli regime and it has been in intelligence terms in addition to military terms very much significant because it basically takes off all the eyes and ears of the israelis that are significant for their air force and after that we saw how drastic it was and we saw the air force and their fighter jets flying and hovering over all all of all of l

spying flights over the region have reduced significantly, and that might have something to do with heizballah's attack on the israeli base. the most significant operation today was that against the maroon airbase, and we saw that right after hazballah targeted uh successfully the maroon airbase on uh uh the uh um in the one of the highest peaks like we said in in northern palestine we saw that there was a significant decrease in the air flights over lebanon and so did hizbullah really uh succeed in cutting down uh when it came to the control of the airbase in maron specifically that they're really target and hurt the infrastructure of that base that is a question that needs to be posed and could possibly be a positive. as analysts are saying that there could actually be very heavy casualties inside that base as we know since the beginning of the the the confrontation this base has been hit untargeted twice by husbalon the first time they inflicted heavy losses we're talking about more than 20 rockets that actually hit uh that uh that base and despite the fact that israel said that they have bac

areas along the southern lebanese border have been scenes of intensified clashes between heizballah and israel since the regime began its bloody onslot on. back on october the 7th, and thousands of morners have attended a funeral for senior hezbulah commander recently slain in southern lebanon. lebanese morners attending the procession emphasized their support for the hezbulah resistance movement in the face of israeli atrocities. let's say listen to some of them. as in shap, the israeli occupation tried to intimidate. the crowd of morners, but the morners didn't care and ignored the provocation, rather more people came to take part in the funeral as a challenged resignist enemy, even though several drones were flying over the crowd who came to mourn martter bel tavil, my message is that we will never be afraid because to stop is to betray our marters, we will continue to resist until the last breath and the last generation to remove israel from the map and hold our prayers in as promised by our leaders, we won't be humiliated and will continue to live with pride and dignity under the l

we've seen heizballah and ansarlah labeled as terrorists when they tried. to stop the zinanis onslot in gaza, and now unra, institution which was created in 1948 after the first nanak of palestinians to provide assistance for the this place is being defunded in the middle of this genocide by the us, the uk, australia, germany and several other small european countries. well, this has happened one day after the international court of justice release its initial findings regarding israeli genicide as if to show the... world once and for all that there is no international law, might makes right? well, i'd like to welcome my guests to this program. craig murray, former british ambassador to uzbekistan out edinburg, and robert fatina, author and journalist out of kishner, ontario. well, thank you. both for being with me, i'd like to start it off with craig, how do you explain these countries defunding unrah now? well, i think in part um, it's a coordinated reaction to the uh international court of justice ruling, and it's important to note vedinitz findings of fact um on the uh genocide,

anti-israel operations will continue until the genocidal war on gaza and its siege come to an end heizballah also said it will continue to target quote enemy bases and supported palestinians in gaza this after american warplanes conducted strikes on the rocky resistance positions in jurufal nasa south of the capital baghdad as was border crossing on iraq's border with syria strikes left at least two iraqi resistance fighters dead. us and uk have launched a new round of air strikes on yemen. press tv correspondent in sanaah abdullatif al washali has your report. after the recent successful yemeny army operation targeting the american military ship ocean jazz in the gulf of aden, the us and uk conducted new series of air strikes targeting eight positions in the capital sunna. despite the yemeny attack on the us ship, the us military denies it, asserting continuous communication with the ocean jazz throughout its journey. the naval forces of the yemini army carried out a military operation targeting an american military cargo ship ocean jazz in the gulf of aiden using appropriate naval missiles

that israel's refusal to end the war in gaza would lead to a further escalation in clashes with heizballah. the comments came after israely prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the regime will do whatever it takes to restore calm to the northern occupied palestine where settlers have either been displaced or live in constant fear of missile attacks by hisbollah. as just mentioned, the situation remains volatile along. lebanon southern border with the resistance movement hezbollah in israel continuing to exchange fire earlier our correspondents had this update from southern lebanon. well today in the early hours of the morning we woke up to the israeli shelling in the towns of karkela and also in the area of mahamus which is right behind us on this side. of course the shelling did not stop. there were also lot of air strikes and the village of romya in addition. to uh the drone attacks against the town of labi, which is near the nakura area on the western side of the coast. um, of course the israel is continued their attacks, in addition to the fact that you have drones and surveillance a

what's interesting about the speech that he made is the fact that you have different ways that heizballah has prevented this war from actually spreading in to lebanon itself, um, let's get some anal, let's get some analysis into the picture withabi, director of the rasal stratistic studies institute. who joins us here in the studios? welcome uh, we're just listening to sayid speak there, what's interesting about what he said is the fact that the way that basically has handled this, i don't know if i should call it a war or the skirmishes that have happened, which some say constitutes a war between hizbollah and israel forces, how do you see the way that hezbulah is actually hand? this when it comes to from the beginning up to this point of operational flood when it happened on october 7th. first of all i think it is a war because war is not everyday in war is not necessarily going to be something very you know intense that happens in war if if you remember back to our own war eight years not every day was intense but it was a war uh so in terms of how is handling it again it goes back to

evening along with two other um heads, commanders of the al-qassan brigade. there we had a couple of heizballah it's been a, it's been a a pretty tragic week for a resistance from some top brass along with all these innocent civilians in um the... iranian city of kirman paying their respects to the late uh lieutenant general solim, your initial thoughts please. it's even more of a tragic uh week and and horizons for the zinus entity and for the the us who has carried out the string of assassinations um as part of its um as part of its uh strategy after or lack of there of after um losing in gaza essentially the sinus ensity. united states have threatens to kill aurora for since um at least august and uh right now have used their losses in gaza as excuse to finally carry out a cowardly assassination um why while failing to basically reconcile with the with the losses that they that they've sustained in in their failed gaza operation so uh in iran it's the one place where they're not going to direct. um you know shoot drones or shoot wareplanes uh from the sky. um, they have also carried out this

resistance factions, particularly after the war against syria, also of course, nahralah, the the um heizballah general secretary was also heavily involved in that, but you know soleimani's legacy has to be the unity of the resistance and the understanding of the new generation of what it means to be a part of that resistance and what exactly they are fighting against? well, i'm afraid we're out of time, so that's it for another show. i'd like to thank our guest vanessa beeli and of course our residence expert. professor david miller. palestine de classified, we'll be back next week with more forensic investigations and analysis. but in the meantime, you can follow the show on facebook, twitter and telegram where we post regular clips and updates and remember to share today's program on your social media platforms to help us continue to keep growing our audience. so until next time, this is chris williamson saying bye for now. israel's economy is now in a crisis as it was hit by double whamy this year, the so-called judicial overhaul and the us israel genocidal war. the uh slaughter in gaza, th

made up of various factions inside gaza, how are they going to confront on the ground forces like heizballah, for example, david, just say a word to as well with you about what palestinian." leaders say about uh solomonni, well all the palestinian leaders are um are are very very positive about salamani, mean if you let's recall going back there was a split wasn't that between effectively iran and uh and hamas um at least not the palestinian islamic jihat over the question of syria because hamas largely back the other side in the the attempt to topple uh um the assad government which... was back by nato and which uh involved britain and and americans as well, but that um split uh between a period of say 2011 for four or five years. now been very effectively healed and it's even been the case of course that the syrian government uh have been supplying uh a support to hamas along with the iranians of course the main uh kind of support that comes to to not just the palestinian factions but also to the access of resistance resistance more generally comes from the islamic republic of iran yeah we

of idf occupation forces who have been killed both in gaza and indeed on the northern border by heizballah, so we see in terms of accountability that the way that this is moving is that the us is being held account. well in the sense that it's it is not able to do just what it wants, as it has been uh able to some extent over the last uh 20 years. all right, back to julia cosum, let's focus on some of the reactions uh regional reactions that uh we've been uh getting with regards to the um anniversary of the assassination of general sole money. first of all, the leader of iran's islamic revolution aitullah ali khamenei has said that general sulaimani was a prime factor in reviving the resistance front in the region, the iraqi prime minister, former iraqi prime minister said that iraq's terrorism fight would have failed without general salemani also an exclusive interview with press tv, yemen's foreign minister hisham shadov said that general sulaimani was the main character who supported the resistance against israeli occupation and his efforts may have peaqued in the october on october 7th

bombing of the civilian population, and yet israel is deliberately provoking both iran and both uh heizballah resistance movement into uh further conflict. it's obvious that without the political will to end this, there is indeed a political will for this to continue. the israelies are saying they could be at. for another 12 months through the whole of 2024 with 80% of the residential buildings already destroyed with the hospitals, the schools, the sewage plants and the water treatment and desalination plants destroyed, there is practically nothing in gaza to sustain life outside of immediate humanit, humanitarian in it's being refused both by israel and by egypt who could open a rafa border should they choose in order to facilitate further humanitarian aid in the gaza, so what's going in of course is is is drop in the bucket at this point, but everything you said and everything you have discussed has been the reason why south africa started that case against the israeli regime with the icj, the israeli president isaac has called geneside claimed against them atrocious and prepostous. i'm pic

chief has warned israel's refusal to end the war will lead to further escalation of plashes with heizballah. iran deployed is one of his navy destroyers to red sea day after uso called task for. force in the region attacks yemy boats. on sunday, sunar warned washington bears full responsibility for the consequences of its attack, which left 10 yemeni naval personnel dead. here says it takes pride in supporting policy and resistance as legitimate fight for liberation of occupied territories. iran's foreign ministry spokesman also says taiwan considers resistance front a legitimate movement in palestine and the region under international law. january 3, 2024 is the fourth anniversary of the marcherdom of lieutenant general qasim sulaimani, commander of the quds force of iran. islamic revolutionary guard score. hach qasim was assassinated by us occupation forces in iraq alongside his long timeime friend and colleague abu mahdi al-muhandis, iraq's popular mobilization unit's second in command. we only knew after his marturdom that martter haj qasim sulaimani was the mastermind behind west asia'
