after all, the relations between iran and hezballah date back to decades ago and tehran is committed. safeguard it, for the ultimate sake of security in the region, come hell or high water. in iran, five days of morning have been declared to mark the assassination of sayyad hasan nasrullah by the israeli regime. tehran has once again reiterated at stand support for hezbollah, key actor in the resistance access. an iranian journalist and expert on west asia affairs. is a strategic alli of iran and national "iran cannot remain indifferent to the recent events affecting this resistance organization in lebanon. one of iran's priorities will be to assist hisbollah in reviving its structure and addressing the issues that have led to such conditions for the group. i believe that iran will continue his policy of support for hizbollah in lebanon and will spare no effort in this regard. whether the actions are political or military. the loss of hasan. could create challenges for hezballah, but the core strength of the organization remains intact. rather than destabilizing the group nasarah assa

resistant movement during visit to hezballah office in tehran on sunday.marks, during the visit, the irgc force commander hailed the leadership of hasan nasrullah over hezballah which lasted more than the past three decades, saying that nasrulah enhanced hisballah position to its apex. he noted that nastro law at the helm of hezballah made great achievement in fighting isole terrorism and the battle against the zianist enemy in 2006. general gaani also declared that iran will stand by hisbullah in the continuation of national law's path and school until the conquest of palestine and the liberation of the holy quds. anadolo agency: iran says its response to israeli crimes will come at right time. the iranian response to the crimes of the israeli regime will come at the right time and according to iran's choice and will be determined at the highest levels. muhammad javavad zarif said in statements during memorial held for hizbollah secretary general hasan nasrollah. separately, iranian parliament speaker mohammad baqir khalib conveyed a message of support fo

iran's financial and military support for hezballah also saw significant increases during this period, reinforcing their partnership. and assists this resistance group in lebanon. however, the claim that hezbulah is an iran and proxy force in the region is baseless, as well is very large organization that enjoys complete independence and has its own specific programs all aimed at defending the security of lebanon and strengthening the accessos of resistance. coordination among various groups within the acts of resistance does not imply lack of their independence and iran's assistance to hezbullah does not mean that hezbullah is an iranian proxy force. iran has always stated that it supports all resistance groups in the region to counter western germany. the presence of hisbullah forces in syria and iraq to fight daesh and hezbulah's engagement with israel to support the palestinian cause are all of hezbullah's own vision, not by iran's orders which affirms the independence of this group. despite all challenges, hezbollah and iran have remained committed to their alliance largely due t

welcome to new episode of israel watch, the ballistic missile of hezballah in tel aviv, the fears of hezballah using more long-range destructive. missiles and the concern of the war with hisballah escalating into a prolonged war of atrition were the main issues that analysts and experts in hebrew media focused on. discussing these with me today is journalist mr. leif marof. welcome mr. laith. thank you for having me. thank you. before we go ahead and get starter. i do want to start with the latest developments. as we know early this morning, a group of world leaders including the us have called for a three-week. however, just less than an hour ago, we saw again another, as the israeli entity is claiming assassination of. attempt in the dah, what is the significance of these two events specifically now? well, it's clear that the united states and the west in general wants to shield the zionist colony from hizbullah's solidarity front with the people in gaza, so we can understand right now what they were trying to demand is that hisbullah stops supporting the palestinians in gaza, that

israel has shifted its focus from hamas to hezballah moving the conflict from gaza to southern lebanon

iranian aggression uh into hezballah's aggression uh into the uh so-called crimes of the palestinians, which is utterly preposterous. israel is clearly the aggressor, they're a criminal state, they've been a criminal state for very long period of time since their inception. what is really amazing to me is that the american public continues to uh be as deceived as they are, which is testament to how powerful their lobby. is in the american news media uh and also in the uh uh american entertainment community, because basically when you look at israel's criminal history, it's not simply what they have done in palestine, which is heinous enough, but over many years israel has committed crimes against the united states that have gone completely unchecked and unpunished because of the power of the israeli lobby in this country and their disproportionate ability to buy politic. and to control the american news media, i'm referring for example to the lavon affair, certainly referring to the marry connection to the kennedy assassination. and all of these other things, 9/11, the polar spy case,

this is exactly what hezballah wants, according to media analyst in hebrew media.

the anti-armor unit, as... it was the anti-armor unit that was the most significant unit within hezballahnt, not only against military vehicles and against the marava tank, but they were also using it and developing it in different ways. to be used even against buildings that are used by israeli soldiers, it was also being used directly against israeli occupation forces and also it was used against and used to target and destroy a lot of merkava tanks we know, lot of armored vehicles, in addition to the technological devices that require as such means to be targeted in order for hasb to be able to know. that they structure a target very precisely as at close range hasbullah can do so and it seemed to have been able to do so against the israelis now the israelies have brought in all forms of backing and all the mobilization that they can, bringing in other units from ghazza as well, especially the 98 division and other divisions also uh lot of preparation and training and so on and all that. uh boasting uh saying that they have been able to weaken hazbullah after various uh incidents in la

military objectives. the same could be true now with their potentially protracted conflict with hezballah, with lebanon, potentially with syria and and iran and yemen with ansar allah, so from from israel point of view, this is the worst possible outcome, it could be death by a thousand cuts, slow bleeding, slow sort of demise for israel. is a regional hegemon, but it's never been a regional hegemon, it's always been propped up by the united states and its allies, it can't defend itself, israel can't quote defend itself without the us providing all of the artillery, all of the reconnaissance, all of the assistance technically, and all of the bombs and all of the aircraft for that matter, and all the engineering and technical support, they can't do anything without the united states, so israel its own can't defend itself. what does that tell you? by definition, this is a colonial project. it always was, and now we can really see to what degree it's absolutely dependent on other foreign superpowers in order to prop up, what is essentially a protectorate uh for western imperialist interests

accounts of what happened in 2006 and and how happened what eventually happened was that - that hezballah defeated the occupation forces in 20. si with simply 3,00 men, now they had more men, they had they had reserves, but they didn't call them up, the the israelis called up their own reserves, but hisb decided against calling up their reserves and they defeated the the whole of the occupation forces with 3000 men in south lebanon. well patrick, what do you think the role of the united states is in all this war? certainly the israelis would like to uh believe that they are the masters of their own destiny, and i think in terms of the internal propagandizing of israeli society and of the sort of the world jewish diaspora, many of them zionists that look at israel as their kind of last resort homeland, i think they'd like to look at it like the the masters of their own destiny, but in many ways the sustainability of their existence in the region. really depends on the support by the united states uh in their european partners. well, i'm afraid that's all we got time for today, so thanks fo

war and this continuous aggression, and it seems that up until now they do not have that, because hezballah is not only capable so far of still launching their rockets with the fact that we know they do have strategic rockets, the medium range and long-range rockets which which have not been touched. based on the last speech of hazballah's deputy secretary general sheikh naim qasim, but we also see that they they have the upper hand and the supremacy when it comes to ground combat, face to face combat, and we even know based on the military analysis of the israelis saying that even hazballah's fighters are not shooting when they're shooting with their maybe machine guns, not from far away, they're getting close to the israeli force, making sure that they inflict direct casualties. sorry to interrupt you, we now have robert fantina joining us, author and journals from kitchen ontario. mr. fantina, uh, you've been patiently waiting, thank you for joining us. my first question to you is exactly the same question that i asked mariam a few minutes ago. um, the regional support for the israeli si

in part because hezballah has acted in solidarity with um with palestinians being genocided in in gaza, and the reports have come out now showing that very clearly in the american corporate media in the u.s. that... nasrala uh his basic refusal to to uh agree to a cease fire to to disconnect the the launching of of of weapons into israel from from lebanon uh in solidarity with those being attacked in gaza that's why they finally that was what kind of uh clinched uh the assassination plan that they didn't think that he was going to conceed the americans are putting pressure on hezball to do that uh so i so i think that's um, you know, that's uh, one dynamic, and the fact that has able to continue that is of course, um, a problem for, uh, count, runs counter to one of the aims of of netanyahu, but i think the aims are here a little bit bigger, i think the aim here is first of all to drastically weaken hezballah, but also i think to to start a war. i mean, i think i think the maximalist aim here for for uh netanyahu is to drag the us into a war with iran and... uh all right, but why ? so

in 1985, hezballah released his first manifesto. in the same year, nasralah became the head of hisbollah's executive council, responsible for implementing the decisions of the movement shora council. it was in february 1992 when nasara became. secretary general following the assassination of his predecessor abbas al-musavi an israeli air strike. under nasa's leadership, hezballah carried out series of anti-israel operations, forcing israeli forces to withdraw from southern lebanon, but his name has been synonymous with heroic resistance against the israeli military during a war in 2006 that lasted 33 days. on august 14th, 2006, the war ended with a crush. defeat for the israeli military thanks to the lebanese resistance and the role of nasrolah. when the us was israeli genocide in gaza began in october 2023, hezbollah under the leadership of nasrolah stood firmly in support of palestinians. a day after the lunch of the genocidal war, hezbulah began its retaliatory attacks on israeli military positions in the occupied palestinian ter

, they come back to what, all their property is destroyed, their houses gone, what if iran or or hezballah or anyone had the same stance on israel and told the settlers, you need to leave ' because we're going to bomb the settlement because there's idf there or something, and then just started taking out the squatter's houses, they wouldn't stand for, the world would condemn it, when israelis die, it gets condemned, but when the israelis murder people it is condemned by some, but when it comes to the united states, never, they just send them money and send them weapons and sometimes they physically defend them uh with their cruise ships helping them shoot down. uh missiles that are coming their way that are only aimed have military targets, they better pray that iran doesn't act like israel acts and just bombs cities. about that hypocrisy that you touched upon, um, we've uh, if any other arab country, muslim majority country did what israel has done uh over the past just the past few weeks, how do you think the west would have responded to that? all they would have labeled it terrorism, th

fighters and hezballah militias, at the borderline, at the line of contact, let's say, the frontline if you want to call it that, between southern lebanon and the north of designist entity, then why uh, why did the the the french government and the american government and so many other governments decide to start withdrawing their national citizens from uh from lebanon, why is there an official arrangement apparently uh to keep beirut international airport open in order to get these the foreigners out of there, that means that there is a significant fear of course amongst people amongst even governments that are friendly to tel aviv that their own citizens might be in imminent danger and of course you can if you look then with that in mind if you look at what's been going on all across beirout and and all across especially southern lebanon then that that makes a lot of sense because this these are bombing campaigns not yet maybe at of the same intensity as what we've seen in haza but it's the same concept these are destructive campaigns as was mentioned earlier with using even banned

these threats seem to have materialized in the case of hezballah and the israelis began terror bombing using the dahya doctrine. leven massacring civilians. at this point it has become very clear that the israelis are not going to stop, the diplomacy with the united states is not going to work at this point because they are not willing to come to the table, and that unfortunately the israelies are going to keep on pushing this, they will keep on carrying out assassinations, they will keep on bombing and they will keep on killing um until which time that they are forced to stop, unfortunately that is the trajectory that the israelis are on, unfortunately the united states government does not have any sense and want to stop them, unfortunately diplomacy has failed again. and again and again and again, and the door is always of course open for this, but this new operation has now put uh, it's changed the tide, the axis of resistance has the strategic initiative, and from here we will see how this battle escalates, unfortunately it will have escalate before it de-escalates and israel will

hezballah also maintains a significant arsenal, and signs are that since october 7th, hezballah has only increased its sophistication and preparedness while israel has waged its genocidal war on gaza, which you allude to. now, i think that the resilience of... and gaza has not only provided hezballah a blueprint, but has also provided them the confidence that they can wage a protracted war, even in the face of this brutal leveling by israeli war planes. and hezbillah is also much more deeply equipped with offensive and detern capabilities of its own, and it's only brought a fraction of those capabilities to bear so far. now i want to summarize some of those capabilities to just get an idea of how deep hesbollah's capabilities really are. there's short range. rockets, which it has in the thousands. it has medium range missiles, uh, long range missiles, including fate 110s and zil xals 2s, uh, scott of missiles, precision guided missiles, uh, anti-tank guided missiles, as well as air defense systems, drones, naval capabilities like anti-ship missiles and even supersonic anti-ship cruise mi

forces on lebanese territory. hezballah said that they were able to spot. that and they had an ambush ready uh for those forces and for the very first time direct and face to face clashes occurred in that area which is right facing the town of these the israeli media, i'm not sure if was able to get from the israeli media exact numbers, what we are getting here is that we know that so far there is an official uh declarated under admittance from the israelis that five israeli soldiers have already been killed and this is perhaps the very first time when the israelis admit openly to that number of israeli soldiers being killed all at once as a result of the clashes with hazballah we know that there were many others at least 20 soldiers among the killed and wounded and many of them were transported with helicopters to the zief and the rambam hospitals in safat and haifa. uh and so we can probably even expect that the number of israeli solters killed in that in those clashes alone to be quite high. there were also other incidents where said that they targeted the area. is where they know

his blood will be avenged, our people, our wealth and all our military resources will stand with hezballahn the true promise to operation. this operation disgraced the israelis and broad honor to the islamic world. speakers at the sana rally expressed that the islamic world is in a state of war with the israeli regime, and that it has become an obligation for all muslims to fight alongside the palestinians and lebanese resistance. we promise you, oh murder of islam and murder of humanity in alaxa, that we will never stray from the path. jihad, which you remain steadfast on until you return to allah almighty, and we say to you, just as our brothers in hezballah told you, just as you have always promised us victory, we now promise you victory by the will of allah. yemen's military involvement with gaza and lebanon has drawn several attacks by the israeli regime on yemen's port city of hideida. on friday, us and british air strikes also conducted series of aerial raids on the yemeni capital and the port of hudeida. according to the yemeni armed forces, yemen will return the favor. yemen's ant

to make sure that they as one of the us officials had to cut off the head of hezballah and to weaken its body and to make sure that have they have completely marrialized and put aside at least 500 potential fighters of hisbala thinking that that a there would be a weakness within the body of hazballah that they would easily be able to enter the objective is of course they don't you ask me about that we heard it from the israeli military uh the israeli officials, specifically the israeli regimes prime minister benjamin netanyahu, he used to use those words in his speeches, and lot of people in the international community would not pay attention to lot of the words that he said, and he mentioned in the beginning of the genocidal war on the huzza, that his objective was not only, was not only to break the resistance of hazza, his ambition was for new middle east or of course the west asia region as he called it, new middle east, he also said he wanted to... disarm the middle east to make sure that only the power and the strength would be only within the military of the israeli regime an

and hezballah's operations were very... significant today, it's good to mention all of them, i think even with the attack on that they were targeting the suburbs of tel aviv, tel aviv is of course the center of the israeli regime. uh and so that is a clear uh symbol saying that now so far we are still targeting the suburbs and if of course the israels continue with this blatant violation of human rights in labanon and this uh new war and aggression they will probably go further into the center of tel aviv the last of which was on the base of sededo um which is an airbase uh in the suburbs of tel aviv as we know rockets now

the resilience of hezballah in face of israeli assertions of decline following the martterdom of sayid hassan nasralla. the group's ongoing actions demonstrate that it's enduring influence still remains and we have invited our guests to discuss that and we invite you to join us on this insightful discussion. the guests tonight include mr. ali hamiah. academic and a political analyst joining us live from beirot and also mr. saib shath, author, commentator on west asia. joining us from belfast. thank you very much. let's begin with mr. ali hamya from beirot. in light of these recent events, how do you assess has lost current military capabilities? let's not forget that. just a while ago israel claimed victory by targeting the top commanders of hezballah. well first thanks for having me with you and hello to you and to your guest. i would like, i would like to to start first that the israelis could not invest in their aggression against lebanon, neither by the electronic warfare penetration, killing civilians through the paasures. uh with the american uh partnership, participation of the

indicate that more bombs were used in the attacks compared to the strike that killed the leader of the hezballahse near the beirot airport. lebanon's health ministry says nearly 40 people were killed in 151 others wounded in israel strikes in matter of 24 hours. the regime has also issued evacuation. orders for some areas in the dahya neighborhood, lebanon's hezbella resistance movement has carried out fresh retaliatory attacks on israeli military positions and settlements in northern occupied palestinian territories. the movement said that it fired a salvo of rockets at the kiriot settlement north of hyfa. hezm also fired rockett sword gatherings of israeli forces in avivim and kafjaladi settlements. several other israeli settlements and military targets coupled with the occupied city of saffed were targeted with rockets as well. hez also detonated four. explosive devices near israeli soldiers infiltrating the lebanese towns amor ras and uh as a result of that killing a number of them the movement said 17 israeli troops have been killed in ground clashes in the past couple of days well asserted

million 200 people that have been displaced. now concerning the confrontations in south lebanon, hezballah has launched several operations in the last hour alone, the israelis also have the talking about launching of rockets and they also spoke about the fact that has been using heavy rockets. and this has been confirmed by hazballah statement saying that in the last hour they were able to strike several units for the israeli military especially in areas of admit in the settlement of admit where there was soldiers stationed and localized in that area. we also had the last attempt by hazbullah just also this morning as well where this a group of soldiers also another unit of soldiers were targeted in. in the bars of gramen using solar rockets and now is using those heavy rockets on areas that are in the frontlines and not only to the depth of the occupied territories, they also use rockets to target, which is also another settlement that is significantly being used by the israelis in order to mobilize their troops in preparation of what they are saying could be new invasion of lebanon ' ano

incapable of putting their boots on the ground and keeping to their presence on lebanese territory. hezballah the localization of the israeli occupation forces, all along the frontlines in southern lebanon, in addition to the fact that we've seen that they... also uh conducted several ambush operations for against these israeli forces, the last of which we know was directly against several area or a group of soldiers that attempted to bypass the resistance fighters and go from the western side of the town of maruna raros, which there seems to be focus on from the israeli elite forces uh yesterday and today and hizbullah was ready for them, the also was an expression of what seemed to be a shock uh based on the words from the israeli militaries uh media and as well as the israeli media saying that there seems to be a catastrophe when it comes to the attempt of the israelis which experts were saying this was only just attempt to try to pave the way for the ground forces and not the actual invasion and the actual attempt of a ground incursion for the israelis to give you also an idea about the l

should leave residential owns that have supposed hasbula weapons in them. now this comes um after hezballah palestine since 2006 using the fadi one and fadi2 tide rockets for the first time but let's rewind for second before that um since last episode we've had the heaviest week in lebanon since 7 or 8 october as i would put it and uh we had on tuesday wednesday. the must terror attacks that came in two waves, tuesday and wednesday, which saw the detonation of wireless pages on tuesday and two-way radio devices on wednesday by the israeli musad and this mamed thousands and killed at least 39 people, this was an unprecedented ter attack weaponizing tech on the largest scale we've seen, then two days later on friday, israel committed massacer in the southern suburb of bayrut and dahi, among them women and children, and targeted several hasballah members of the elite sowan unit, two top commanders and other field commanders were also assassinate alongside them, so that is where we were before hezballah decided to target um hafa and the facility of ha, it was the next night actually and before

iran's sovereignty and also in response to the late leader of the lebanese resistance movement, hezballah, sasan nasulah, which happened just about a week ago, so his presence today at the friday prayers, of course friday prayers have always been a symbol of uh the stands of the people, particularly when it comes to uh religious issues as well as broader political ones. in this case, the issue in in question is uh the defense of the resistance of the oppressed people of palestine, the defense against tyrany as the ansarullah movement has called it, the axis of crime and tyranny, so that's going to be the the theme, i suppose of today's speeches, but of course again all of this is conjecture and uh we will know for sure. exactly the leader will be will be speaking about in uh just few minutes uh after the appraisals or the maddahi inf are are over uh now with that said tell me a little bit about uh the the presence so for how long have the people been um at the mosala grand mosque and uh about the the processions that have already occurred before of course uh the the speech by the league b

is powerful has the strength as hezballah has the stud fastness and even more united than the past and the path will carry on based on those uh efforts and perseverance by nast law and thanks to those perseverance uh it's very surprising some months ago said the dear nasar god bless his soul called on some commanders and told them that i know that i'm going to be martered uh and i know that some other commanders will be martered, but in the... unity of this uh and the coherence of this group will remain the same and there will be no effect in this regard and he used to tell those commanders that don't become concerned and don't worry about my marty them uh he said that i will perform prayers in occupied this is according to our beliefs after life with the coming of the imam mahdi we will have and we will perform prayers in occupied, he had this projection and this prediction and he was kind of uh, he had this vision to be martered, but this structure was designed in a way that it will, it will go on, and so there's no need to worry, and hope that his sacred and his soul in afterlife, w

the iranian volley was sent to the the three military bases, as you say, there were 16 attacks by hezballah our our viewers and we'll be back uh shortly, stay tuned. alliance war in the dead of night, with every battle he stood up right, guided by faith by puring sight, for justice burns with endless light, he lay with honor, wisdom, grace, a shield for labonan sacred place, no tyrant sword could slow his pace, in every heart we see his face, they thought the... they could silence the flame, but we rise again in half son's name, our path is clear, we feel no shame, the soul of hussin lives on the same, you feel his voice, but now you'll see a thousand rides where one shall be, your cruel intent, your tyrany, will fall to dust will set world free. death would make us weak, but in our hearts his strength we seek, with every tier the strong will speak, the dawn of freedoms what we peek, how son's blood runs through our face, through suffering through endless pains, the land you burn, the chains you claim cannot destroy this righteous frame, they thought they could silence the flame, but we ris

please, miriam, talk to you soon, marining us from lebanon, meanwhile, memorial has been held at hezballah's office in tehran to honor the martydom of leader said hasan asala, among the attendees were several high ranking iranian officials including foreign ministershi, and speaking to reporters,shi emphasized his enemy should not celebrate this assassination, instead, it should be worrying about the future that awaits it. this is not the first time a leader of hezballah has been assassinated and martered by designist regime, but look at how the blood of hizballah's passt marters empowered this movement, how much bigger, stronger and more popular hizballah became. i believe that the mar of nasrallah will further strengthen the resistance, and in the future we will see more young people, joining the resistance with even greater determination, the zionist enemy should not rejoice over striking a blow, they should be worried about the future that awaits them, the future belongs to the resistance, the blood of sas and will be even more potent than the martyr himself, in bringing an end to the zi

penetrate, but what we've seen is the israelis have played uh their hand perhaps too soon against hezballah with the terrorist pager attack uh which they conducted of course uh through getting into the supply line of these pagers and then the day afterwards as well we saw these walkie talkies going off and then after that with series of assassination strikes now beyond of course points scoring and this was very you know devastating blow to hesbollah of course it's not something that would take out the military wing of hezballah or the political wing of hezballah. it's something that is of course damaging, which the group has admitted, but it's not something that would result in decapitation of the organization. that's just not how it sets up. so now israel must wage a campaign of terror similar to how it did against hamas and how it continues to do against the palestinian people by extension, because ultimately they view everyone. uh inside of lebanon and everyone in gaza as a potential um target, they are uh the real targets of this campaign, their infrastructure is the targets, their hosp

years they have been telling iranians that it's your government causing you issues by supporting hezballah and hamas and the huties and if they stop supporting them we will stop the sanctions right now when iran's efforts when you see the fruit of all these efforts when you see the resistance of these people who had nothing to defend themselves with before then all of sudden now try they're trying to take that victory away from iran now they're telling people oh you know iran sold uh iran sold hazullah, they they're telling people that oh, it was an iranian who facilitate the assassination of said hasan nasarlah, so on, you know, which is it, either iran is supporting hisballah or iran is not supporting hisballah, and that also knowing that you know, all of these resistance front basically they need each other, like yes, iran is supporting hezballah in order for them to be able to defend their own country, but at the same time keeping the enemies be behind our borders is also basically what the iranians need, so it's win-win for both sides, so it's the basically whether it's yemen hitting,
