do you think that the israeli regime thought that uh they had incapacitated ' um hezbullah or had uh inflicted enough damage that hezbullah would not respond or are your assessment of the timing of both actions, the terrorist attacks last week and then the israeli bombardments this week? absolutely, i think you you you've hit it on the nail there uh the israeli aggression uh wanted to do a preliminary strike into the hisbollah stronghold. uh with this pager attack that really is the talk of the international community and the violations of international law that have undergone and the use of technology uh and the abuse uh you can say and there's a huge distrust going around in respect to that and then immediately after that we see the israeli aggression uh bombarding all the way up to beirut so it's not even southern lebanon but they are bombing all over the country uh as you mentioned 558 uh people and as the health minister firas abiad mentioned, most of them are civilians, you know, in which there's children, women and children, there's been 89 shelters set up for all the displace

course we're following this situation very closely, and what we understand right now is that the hezbullah is in middle of their retaliatory attacks, especially on hifa, and as you heard our correspondent say that this is the first time that uh hazbullah has hit the center. the city of haifa um again we have heard about more attacks on civilians uh basically the israeli regime continuing with their mo um of uh attacking civilians attacking civilian infrastructure despite what the israeli prime minister has said that only hezbullah is under attack just as it said only hamas is under attack that they're cargating hamas and of course we know officially we're at least 41 marters inside of gaza and we know today in lebanon over 274 people have been killed expecting unfortunately for that number to rise because of the situation on the other side of things the israeli regime is uh very much controlling its media, it does not um want the news of casualties uh getting out its side, we do know we heard earlier they did admit to several injuries only, but of course we've seen a salvo of rockets um be

hezbullah entered the fight to put pressure on the regime to end the genocide. it was heroic effort on behalf of the resistance on behalf of hesbullah, they drew away a large segment of the israeli armed forces from gaza. imagine if heizbulah hadn't done that, what would have happened to gaza? so over the last 11 or so month. hezbollah has been forcing the regime to keep lot of its forces and capabilities in the north, they've also forced a large segment of the population to leave the the colonized areas near the border with lebanon, thus putting pressure on the israeli economy, even though hizbullah targets military centers, unlike the israelies, another really extraordinary difference between the resistance and the israelis something that... the western media will not tell you about that while the israelis carpet bomb towns and villages and target families uh hezbollah does not does not do that though they have that capability, but in any case uh the israelis uh are now trying to defeat hezbollah or to intimidate hezbollah uh but they can't they'll fail they t

hezbulah has entered new phase in its retaliate. against the israeli regime, that's according to the hezbullah deputy secretary general sheikh naim qasim, the israeli regime committed terrorism against thousands of hezbollah members and ordinary citizens in lebanon last week, and now hezbolah has answered with the blast hitting many barracks and other areas, including inside of the city of hyfa. well, stay with us as we take a look at the latest situation between the resistance movement hizbullah and the zionist regime. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. out of riz political analysts and out of belfast, author commentator and west asia expert, saib shath. welcome both of you to the... program i'd like to start off in beirot, i mean your thoughts, radan, when the hezbulah deputy chief says of the war or the uh retaliation has enter new phase, what do you think this means? well, i, i rather call it a return of ahead or operation, because now we we know that we all know and we understand that we are in a state of war. either we admit that or not, since the 8th of october in order to su

again we're looking at following various reports about the hezbullah uh hitting various areas in the occupied territories and uh it says uh i'm looking at some even israeli sources right now that uh uh ha has just been julted it says that it has uh dealt with more uh alarms and rockets ever before at least it's says that some 200 hasbollah rockets been fired uh towards the northern occupied territories within the hours, i mean it's very significant with we're not seeing the iron dome being uh very effective uh although there's been so much money and emphasis that was put on the iron dome and i think this is an interesting point because hazbullah and also iran during its attack on the zianist regime has proven that they also they have ways to uh overwhelm the iron done to sind in so many drones at the same time we're also getting reports that the us will be sending troops to the region um of course the us saying uh part of its excuses saying that it's going to help uh its nationals, trying to help its nationals in lebanon, um, but monitoring various uh uh anti-imperialist sites that t

wing of hezbullah, hezbullah has been there and providing for the people from various social reforms, from education, food, medication, just such vast amount of the needs of the lebanese people, at the same time they have done all of this, but hezbullah is the one that the us and others declare hezbollah, the terrorist group and the israeli regime, the the biggest democracy, the only... democracy as they call it in the middle east, so what does that say about the regime in washington itself and its allies? well, you know, this is how you can always tell when a force is being effective, when a force is being effective, it gets labeled, it gets attacked, when a military has no power to do anything, it gets you medals of honor and it gets to get representation and it gets to be visited by these... you know um western officials and everyone gets to be promoted when they don't have power because because they don't they don't want a strong region right? anywhere in the world where there are major resources where there are there is a strategic locations, they do not want peace in these area

again, hezbullah has confirmed the... them of the leader of the resistance said your thoughts: may allah accept the sayen's contribution, his noble contribution to the liberation of lebanon, his many sacrifices, his own son, not so many years ago, may he be in... in paradise and we know that from the holy quran it says tells us that say not that they are dead, but rather they are, they are with their lord, marters never died, so he has achieved his his objective, the objective of all all soldiers of, all the soldiers of islam, all the soldiers for human civilizational justice, is that they sacrifice themselves ultimately for the cause of allah, sayid wasn't fighting for himself. say didn't look after his own uh needs or security, at every stage in his life he dedicated himself towards the freedom and the liberation of the oppressed and our prayers are with all of his near near and dear and and loved ones and the loss of a leader of course will be morned and we've seen the loss of one of the greatest leaders of the resistance haji khasim sulaimani. "and we've seen the loss of other great

at this regime, we have seen unbelievable resistance by the resistance front by hezbullah, by hamas, and i mean we're talking about uh these drones going in inside of the occupied territories and inflicting damage on the regime, it is quite unbelievable if we put it in the capacity uh that's really we're not talking about uh we're not talking about a lebanese military, we're not talking about an air force having an air force, we're talking about a resistance group, and despite that, despite that they have shown not only tremendous courage, but have been very effective against this, the israeli regime, i want to cross over to beirout and political analyst mohammed obaid, welcome him to the program, your thoughts on um what i just said about this this situation, because we we have to remind people because of uh uh corporate media try to create this situation as if uh the israeli regimes military is fighting um the lebanese air force and military we're talking about a resistance group and that does not have airplanes does not have an air force uh against this very well-funded and equipp

meanwhile, hezbullah has continued its retaliatory attacks on various military targets throughout the occupied territories. stay with us as we take a look at the latest on this edition of spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. out of london, back to sobate. and political analysts and sayid muaz shah executive director center for islamic law and human rights out of karache. thank you both for being with me. i'll start this off in london and batul. mean batul, your thoughts after two days of watching the israeli aggression that is taking place in lebanon. um, tell me your thoughts of the timing and the actual goal? so the strategic outcomes of the israeli occupation entities escalation in the north is to ultimately split the ghazan and the lebanese front from one another. in their assessment uh they decided to place all of their offensive efforts on ghazza since the start of the war because they considered that the easier front to defeat essentially, but the northern front has been bleeding them as we know for the past. and so they were forced to place their elite bett

this right now as we are speaking we know that... the retaliatory uh attacks are taking place by hezbullah um very strategic attacks, very interesting, the military bases and um places that have been hit by hezbullah uh, it seems that that iron dome is not uh working as much as the israeli regime uh uh tends to think, mean your thoughts on these uh current retaliatory actions that are being taken by hezbullah? absolutely, um, the islamic resistance of lebanon has expanded the fire within the last day to cover 110 kilometers, it targeted lots of strategic uh sites, i think today, up to 18 operations, um, targeting for example the maggido military airport, targeting the ramat david base several times, targeting the amos base, targeting the explosives uh factory in the zr area, so um really kind of strategic areas that - we remember the hoodhood footage that was um going around you know taking photos and and episodes to to show the world the vulnerability of the entity right now it is being struck um we're seeing in ha over 30000 settlers went to hide in the shelters um as it was struck um in

meanwhile hezbullah has launched extensive retaliatory strikes deep inside the occupied territories, and on wednesday the lebanese resistance targeted musad headquarters in tel aviv. due to zina censorship, the regime keeps a tight lid on fatalities which hazbullah has caused inside of the entity. we're going to look at take a look at all of this on the spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. ali hamy academic and political analyst out of south lebanon and sab shath, author, commentator and west asia expert out of belfast. well, thank you both for being with us. i'm going to start off uh with alie. so ali, is it correct? you're in south lebanon right now? yes, i am. okay, so let me start off right there. why are you in south lebanon? why haven't you left that area? well, first thanks for having me with you. thanks for coming. thank you. i would like to say that exactly what the person said from south lebanon, we will not leave, and if you see so many people left south lebanon is is not. majority, most of the lebanese still stand still in south lebanon and they are re

meanwhile the mminedy defense ministry has reiterated its support for lebanon's hezbullah against israel. the ministry has made it clear that it will not hesitate to use all of its military capabilities in this regard. yusuf mari brings us more. yemen's minister of defense has confirmed that the country's armed forces are ready to support the islamic resistance in lebanon. against the latest israeli acts of aggression, this follows heizballah's retaliatory attacks against israel, which targeted the regime's military sites and their bases. the latest escalation has put the entire region on the brink of an all-out war. the yemeny army confirms it will support lebanon and gaza in any such conflict. there is no doubt that the yemen armed forces are going to support hezballah in southern lebanon, this is confirmed by the ministry of defense, which also stress that the armed forces will continue to advance their capabilities and escalate retaliatory attacks aimed at the hard of the design entity. this was also confirmed by the leader of the yemen revolution who mentioned the access of resistan

in the country, so far there have been at least 620 lebanese killed and over 2,000 injured. while hezbullah has launched extensive retaliatory strikes deep inside the occupied territories, and on wednesday the lebanese resistance targeted musad headquarters in tel aviv. due to zing a censorship, regime keeps a tight lid on fatalities, which hasbullah has caused inside of the entity. we're going to look at, take a look at all of this on the spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. ali hami, academic and political analyst out of south lebanon, and sabshath, author, commentator and west asia expert out of belfast. well, thank you both for being with us. i'm going to start it off uh with alie, so ali, is it correct, you're in south lebanon right now? yes, i am. okay. so let me start off right there, why are you in south lebanon, why haven't you left that area? well, first thanks for having me with you, thanks for coming. thank you, i would like to say that exactly what the person said from south lebanon, we will not leave, and if you see so many people left, south lebanon is is

salami made the remarks in a letter to the hezbullah leader sayid hasan nasrulah. the irgc chief said the lebanon terror attacks were the result of desperation and successive failures of the israeli regy. salami said israel is committing crimes in civilian areas to delay its death as it has failed on the battlefields and this is the regime's big new defeat. he noted that israel has not achieved any of his. called go goals in the gaza strip and has been besieged by the resistances operations which have shaken its foundations. salami also expressed solidarity with the families of the... victims of the israeli terror attacks in lebanon. welcome back, more than 11 months into the israeli genocide in gaza, the regime continues to indiscriminately bombard the besieged territory, resulting in more palestinian casualties. over dozen palestinians including women and children were killed and several others injured following the israeli air strikes on the al-sabra and shujaya neighborhoods of gaza city. in another deadly attack in the north of gaza, a rescue worker and his pr

countries basically said that they did not want to see escalation between the zionist regime and hezbullahning uh the regime for is terrorism, i mean this is something that we have been, seeing for the last year in gaza and to be honest since the creation of the zionist regime that basically they have been given the green light by the whole western hegemonic front. again, you're looking at these latest pictures, pictures of... taken earlier of the israeli some of the israeli destruction that has taken place in lebanon today. let's cross back over to our correspondent uh marley in lebanon. miriam there's distortion guys, i can't hear, i can't hear marzi. okay, mariam, you can't hear me. well, hopefully we'll get. okay, so we we're working on that connection that mariam can hear me, she said she could not hear me. um, again, looking at these latest images, we've seen fires, we've seen various types of destruction taking place uh, inside of lebanon today, um, again inside of lebanon, as in gaza, uh, there are no uh, bunkers or safe areas for civilians, um, mariam had said earlier that some sc

resistance in the west bank is not as armed as the resistance in gaza, definitely not as armed as hezbullaho coordinated operations yesterday in the west bank, yes, yes, so this what what what is possible for the resistance in the west bank is to do these operations of attacks in the settlements, attacks or roadside bombs or what have you, but full out war against the zionist is going to be a slaughter for the palestinians in the west bank. the hebrew media in its various narratives promoted the goals of aggressive campaign on the west bank, stating that it was הערב לראשונה שאחת הסיבות המרכזיות שצהל יצא למבצע הנרחב הזה בצפון השומרון דווקא בעת הזו היא התראה מודיעינית חמורה על פיגוע במטווה חדירה או פשיטה ליישוב ישראלי פיגוע שאמור היה לצאת ככל הנראה מאזור טולקרם חולית מחבלים אנחנו לא יודעים כמה בדיוק. שתכננה לחדור ליישוב ישראלי ככל הנראה בשומרון ולבצע פיגוע רחב היקף במערכת הביטחון אומרים לנו שחלק מהמחבלים שעלו בהתראה המודאינית הזאת חוסלו במסגרת המבצע הנוכחי, אבל ההתרעה עדיין לא מה שנקרא קובטה לחלוטין, כמובן מאה שזאת לא הסיבה היחידה לצאת למבצע הזה, יש עוד שורה ארוכה של סיבות, אחת מהן היא כמובן

committed terrorism against thousands of has. members and ordinary citizens in lebanon last week and now hezbullah has answered with the blast hitting mini barracks and other areas including inside of the city of ha well stay with us as we take a look at the latest situation between the resistance movement hazbullah and the zientist regime. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. out of bayrut, radwan rizg, political analyst and out of belfast, author, commentator and west asia expert cyib shaf, welcome both of you to the program, i'd like to start it off in beirot, i mean your thoughtswan, when the hezbollah deputy chief says that the war or the uh retaliation has enter new phase, what do you think this means? well, i rather call it a return of ahead or operation, because now we we know that we all know and we understand that we are in a state of war, either we admit that or not, since the 8th of october in order to support the gaz resistance, senior resistance in gaza, so uh now the lebanese resistance are involved since the 8th of october and it's legit. for the lebanese to support their

this is very strong message today actually by hezbullah. deputy general, secretary general has mentioned in his speech that they are, you know, spontaneously, he said, he said that transparently enough, that they are liars, that he does not trust the american leadership through any, you know, middle men or middle special envoys likestein who has been sent actually by the president joe biden or the white house towards lebanon to try to solve the... with lebanese top you know officials, the government of lebanon and for sure the leadership of hizbullah who is very involved in this regional war so far that has been ignited by israel so far since the past few days which started on tuesday by the bers case and then the walkie talkies and then the famous raid against the el rudwan leadership and all the assistance that have been ' martier so far since couple of days and especially for sure we do not forget that the children of lebanon and women of lebanon who have been also marteers in the same building that that they were forcefully and aggressively enough by israel to hit us inside, couple o

hezbullah is fighting to preserve the dignity and honor of the people of gaza and the west bank and palestine, but also the people of lebanon, and their marters are celebrated because they died for this cause, for righteous cause, but these people, they..." interpret in such an odd way and yet they don't seem to see or they don't want to see the irony of what they say that the israelies were just massacring people in gaza and in lebanon, in syria, because the syrians are supporting the resistance in lebanon and in the west bank, they break, they can just they they they can be antagonized and they can be bombed and or in westerners have no problem with that either, so... um, i think that this is not a misunderstanding, it's what these people don't want to see, and they try to depict the resistance to be what it is not, but again, those who do see reality, those who are looking objectively at what's happening, see a greatness and say hasan nasarlah, and many of these young people around him, and many of these older people around him that uh that that inspires one and inspires us to be more like

top story in lebanon: nine people have been killed as a result of explosions of pageers held by hezbullah fighters. 10-year-old girl and son of member of hezbollah's block in a lebanese parliament are among those killed thousands. have also been injured, many of them critically. iran's ambassador to the country moni is among the injured and following this terrorist attack hisb said specialized agencies have launched large-scale security and scientific probe to determine causes of the simultaneous explosions and it added after examining all the facts, the current data and available information, the movement is holding the israeli regime fully responsible for this criminal aggression which also targeted civilians. israel's criminal enemy will certainly receive a just punishment for the sinful aggression from where it will not see it coming. reactions are pouring in following deadly cyber attack in lebanon which targeted members of hezbullah. iran's foreign ministry strongly condemned the incident saying attack is part of combined operation conducted by zionist thugs. ministry spokesperson n

going to begin again, they're going to just target people and then say we you know we're we hit hezbullah sites and western media will just say what they the israeli say to to justify the genocide as they've been doing in gaza, but that won't take away the beauty of what hezbullah has done, what the resistance has done, and for... those of us who are who haven't closed our eyes, we see that beauty, those who are better than the likes of me will understand it with greater depth.

very strategic attacks, very interesting, the military bases and um places that have been hit by hezbullah uh, it seems that that iron dome is not uh working as much as the israeli regime uh uh tends to think, i mean your thoughts on these uh current retaliatory actions that are being taken by hezbullah, absolutely. um, the islamic resistance of lebanon has expanded the fire within the last day to cover 110 kilometers. it targeted lots of strategic uh sites. i think today up to 18 operations. um, targeting for example the maggido military airport, targeting the ramat david base several times, targeting the amos base, targeting the explosives factory in the zr area. so, really kind of strategic areas that if we remember, hoodhood footage that was um going around you know taking photos and and episodes to to show the world the vulnerability of the entity right now it is being struck um we're seeing in h over 300 thous settlers went to hide in the shelters um as it was struck um including today you know so so um we cannot underestimate um the strength and the potency that the islamic resistan

well, viewers, you're looking at some breaking news there that more rockets have been fired um by hezbullah hitting the northern israeli occupied city of saffet. we're going to cross over now though to rimala and talk to naka hamet. thanks so much for joining us. please fill us in and the latest situation and information that you have. well before before couple couple of minutes the iron d has announced that they have intercepted rockets that came from the north which is from lebanon towards the city of safad and these rockets have been have been destroyed in the air and did not hit the ground but but this is not the first rocket that have been fired since the morning or since the hour, the late, the late hours of the night, it has been continuous, it has been a continuous firing and continuous battle in the north, the north of the occupied territories, as as the speaks and talks about the ground invasion accelerates and takes more. space inside the israeli community, this may be this may be this may be the coming thing in the next many raids and and israeli attacks, iof attacks on palestin

situation very carefully once again at least 274 lebanese have been killed today at the same time hezbullah has continually uh attack the military bases um in the occupied territories and especially um those in haifa uh especially one that has been hit for few consecutive days which is very significant what mariam has the last report she gave us was saying heavy rockets now this time seem to be fired at that military base and we're still waiting for confirmation to come in. from that. mariam, what about the situation? i know that um, you had talked earlier about the traffic situation of people trying to uh, trying to get out of danger. i mean, overall, what, what is happening on that side of things, the civilians and trying escape danger, because we had heard earlier, even some of them perhaps had been targeted. i mean, just tell us about what's taking place on that side. well we know that the areas that the people were taking were targeted uh, but the main roads, the highways perhaps we can say between tyre uh and seiden all the way to bayrut have not been targeted yet uh, this is just one

, because the lebanese themselves, after they saw the sacrifices that uh uh the resistance group hezbullah made, and after the israeli regime had occupied uh occupied lebanon um that they were able to... them to leave, push them out of the country, and then we saw the 2006 33-day war, and how hezbullah, how the resistance was able to beat this well-train military, ruthless military, but made them ask to stop the war, um, the israeli regime wanted to bring it to a halt because they were losing by the... and i mean the people have seen this, so all lebanese then profited from this because they were able to live in peace, so we we we see this unbelievable support uh for hazbullah across the board, across the board, because it was never sectarian movement about crushing others, um, it was about basically supporting the as well say the oppressed, the muthafin, it was about helping the oppressed, and it was about gaining their rights, the rights of the people, the rights of being able to control their land, being able to control their resources, not only in lebanon, but the region. um, your thou

pay a price, the zionist regime is also... so and will also pay a price uh uh of the measures that hezbullah have already and will continue to inflict on them? yes, definitely, we are looking at now what is very different than what we saw for example in the first israeli invasion 1978, then in 1982 and even throughout the time of occupation. during that time whenever hazbalah, the resistance factions launched any single operation. against israeli forces, the occupation forces, this would lead to the israelis directly targeting civilians, killing civilians destroying houses, it was always directly targeted to their and has there would be no rockets towards the settlers or towards the the occupied palestinian territory. after the assassination of hazbollah's former secret, secretary general abbas musawi, hezbulah brought in new phase or new factor in the confrontation. where they started using ketusha rockets to launch them towards the settlements in like karamona and for example those settlements that are in the galily close to the border to tell the israelis that they will not tolerate the a

you know a prolongeduh conflict between the regime and hezbullah differ? i think it's a different case and scenario, repeat that, i mentioned that earlier, and hizbullah has the the the artillery and has the weaponry to prolong the war another six months at least to one year, they can fight israel and on the borders of lebanon visais the palestinian territories, you know i believe that that they are. are still capable and they have not been tired or exhausted like the israeli army so far, because israel has been uh transparently enough, let me say this, they have been fighting with the six five groups, they were in gaza settled, now they pushed them out from the south of israel or palestine, they moved them out to the borders of the settlements with lebanon, and now they have six brigades or groups that they are willing to push forward in case they try to push their tanks on the borders with lebanon to go on ground, and this is absolutely a major or fatal mistake would be by israel to uh drop. tanks or move their tanks in on the grounds of lebanon, because

russians came in with their air force and then it was the collaboration of the syrian army. and hezbullah and uh the russians which pushed back that entire highly trained, highly weaponized with all the modern technology and and in a dangerous uh uh daish force that was trying to destroy uh syria, so hezbollah are now a conventional army in in every respect, so they can expect uh hesbollah's abilities in terms of cover and concealment to be very strong, um they're capable of direct fire, very accurate direct fire, they can't basically uh disappear under these tunnels and these underground networks, because they know the terrain of lebanon far better than the israelis would, so if these israeli soldiers happen to come in into any regions they're going to be walking into a trap, but actually what the israelis have tried to do is spring a trap on hezbollah and in fact the axis of resistance by threatening uh hezbollah in the way they have by basically and what did they do, they they they sabotaged lot of the uh the... com networks with all these walky talky they blew up and and what not and

that their homes would be would be hit because they were near a hezlah headquarters or um where hezbullah's missiles were or various excuses like that very similar of course what we saw in gaza and while they were hitting residential homes and apartments and saying they were hamas's centers of course which they have never proven. again a day two here out of south lebanon crossing back over to said most and so sorry the uh connection was a bit interrupted continue with your train of thought go ahead please i just saying that this context is really important because all of all too often analysts and media we we go after the visibly obvious so we see this is us military strategy that's what's causing all these problems yes it is but who does the us military and who does the us? and also it's big business, it's big corporate business in the background, so we have to ask ourselves another question uh, is big business, is big uh corporate agency interested in in a peaceful west asia, do they want to do trade in west asia fairly with the people in that region or do they want to continue plunder? n

reasons uh why hasbullah is as it is. first of all there is the issue of faith and religious duty. hezbullah has been from the beginning a party. political party in the resistance faction, grassroots movement began as very humble grassroots movement, it began in a manner which was based its faith in the the islamic religion and the the words of the quran and the teachings of prophet muhammad and his family and the extension of the events of karabala, and that is issue that is very significant, it plays out very clearly, and we noticed how the family of... muhammad despite the fact that they were oppressed uh starting from after the even from prophet muhammad himself who was oppressed by his own maybe relatives a time when the the beginning of the message of allah for for prophet muhammad of course these are details i'm not also a religious expert but that really is significance it's it is very uh very critical issue it's very sensitive hazballah believes that based on their practices and their... of islamic religion, they need to be very careful about how they use weapons and that also expla

regime. mean i want to look at that part, because what we have seen uh continually take place by hezbullah, concentrating on military. your thoughts, mean because of course it was quite easy, it's also quite easy for uh hezbullah to target uh uh the zionist settlers, mean technically there really aren't civilians inside of the entity, however uh the hazbullah has not targeted um so-called civillions but con concentrating on the the military um whether again we're talking about barracks or uh the places that are making military equipment or soldiers, i want to talk about the difference, because there definitely is a difference between red lines that hezbollah has set up for itself and the lack of red lines by the israeli regime and not respecting um civilian populations anywhere? i don't want to be more you know uh philosopher. or just more religious in this regard, but at least from the name of this group, hazballah, hazballah is based a people of religious and ethical background, which is very big you know distinguition, distinction for their own, because the other side, if you see the is

saw it in gaza, and we see it now in lebanon that the regime says that they are targeting either hezbullah headquarters or ammunition depots or some type of excuse. i think the question of the day to ask though, and this was what many would repeat inside of gaza, even if there was... for example, let's say one individual uh, one hamas person, do you have the right to destroy and to kill civilians? do you have that right? and according to international law, we know that it's it's illegal, it's genocide, but we have seen one year, one year almost of this genocide there, and because basically they had the green light and they had the support of the... western hegemonic front and so now we're looking at this tonight happening in beirout where we're looking at fires and various locations in the capital city of lebanon. feros crossing back over to you in toronto, i mean these are very difficult scenes to watch, we're looking at explosions taking places and we're looking at these fires that are taking place in various uh parts of the city um that the this rogue regime uh thinks that it can do wha

"it's using uh bunker busters towns and villages and just claiming that these are hezbullah sites for the benefit of western media so that they can repeat their nonsense and their their lies, and that's what the western media does, whenever they bomb towns and villages across the country, western media calls these hezbollah sites or hezbollah strongholds and..." or if it's in beirot they call it targeted assassinations where many ordinary people were killed last night, i visited the site where the attack a number of hezbulah commanders took place, the whole block was destroyed, many people were killed, many people were maimed for life, but that's not something that's reflected in the western media, so in general i think it's fair to say, that hezbullah has played and the people of lebanon have played the most courageous role in this almost one year long genocide in gaza, because they chose, they voluntarily chose to take steps to draw attention or to draw israeli forces away from the battlefield in the south of palestine. this was something that they did voluntarily, they could have d

resistance out there, one section is being carried out by the ans movement in yemen, another one by hezbullahe act in solidarity with the palestinians, like the one carried out by the iraqi brigades, like the one carried out by iran, and now there's something. symbolic going on out there in the world, but the problem is that we cannot remain in the state of being symbolic, we cannot suffice to just giving a like to something on facebook or posting something on platforms like x, or writing a column or publishing a book, we have to move forward, take action, something real and tangible, for example, we will not sell the smallest amount of coal to israel, because that coal allows the production of bombs, when one sees that the union. members who have announced that they will not load or unload ships that go to israel in their ports, this is serious and concrete action. when we see that there are people who announce that they are going to collect medicines for the palestinians, or their doctors who have tried to go there, or the people who are attending to the wounded, those who have been able to

hope, he gave them a voice, he gave them strength, he gave them freedom from an occupation, but hezbullah is not based on one man and the assassination of one man does not end the resistance, uh, your thoughts on that, sir, well, i think that's exactly what i was intending to say ' um and i i believe that at every level of hisbollah they possess the expertise, the experience, the wisdom in depth, it's it is set up so that when one one person, one leader falls and rises to paradise, there will be someone in waiting. who will be able to uh take up the cause and perform the the duties and the functions uh of that person as a part of hisballah. i have every reason to think that that in israel, i don't know if israel will regret this, who cares whether they regret it or not, but they should, because because they're losing uh a voice. with whom they could talk if they wanted to talk, and they will still have a voice, someone, they will always have someone to whom they can talk, but they don't like to talk, they um, we know uh their preferences, their preferences are shown being shown today most

two we're looking at this situation unfolding in lebanon. we also yesterday saw the uh response by hezbullah and sending rocket. throughout the occupied territories and of course because uh of the regime's control on the media and not allowing them to speak about casualties, we haven't heard about casualties, although they did admit to some individuals being wounded. i'd like to welcome uh mariam aza cher here in tehran press tv here with me in the studio, thanks so much for being with us, maybe i would like to talk about reactions that we're seeing coming. from various uh places and dealing with this - and we can say nothing less than terror from last week we saw as said moson was talking about the largest terrorist attack ever over 4,00 people affected by uh what took place with the walkie talkies and with the pagers and now day two of this is really aggression a full out war basically on civilian population that we saw over 500 individuals. and over 50 kids killed just yesterday in a short period of time, when we look at the reaction from various countries, uh, it is quite interesting, un

resistance in the west bank is not as armed as the resistance in gaza, definitely not as armed as hezbullah.. "there will be lot of casualties and as we see uh the zionist are destroying whole cities like jen, we saw yesterday uh escape of residence of the eastern neighborhood of also we saw the two coordinated operations yesterday in the west bank yes yes so this what what what is possible for the resistance in the west bank is to do these operations of attacks in the settlements attacks uh or roadside bombs or what have you" but full-out war against the zionist is going to be a slaughter for the palestinians in the west bank. the hebrew media, in its various narratives, promoted the goals of the aggressive campaign on the west bank, stating that it was aimed at thorting a plan by palestinian resistance fighters to attack one of the settlements in the northern west bank. זו היא התראה מודיעינית חמורה על פיגוע במטווה חדירה או פשיטה ליישוב ישראלי, פיגוע שאמור היה לצאת ככל הנראה מאזור טולקרם, חוליית מחבלים. אנחנו לא יודעים כמה בדיוק שתכננה לחדור ליישוב ישראלי ככל הנראה בשומרון ולבצע פיגוע רחב

week and now the regime is arearally attacking lebanese civilians under the pretence of targeting hezbullah as of this broadcast at least uh well it was 325 uh had lebanies had been killed, i believe the latest now is 356 that have been killed and at least 1200 injured, meanwhile hazbullah has increased its retaliatory attacks, so stay with us as we're going to be taking a look at the latest situation taking place on the spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program, starting off out of bethlehem, palestinian scientists and author mazan komsai. thank you so much for being with us. manson, your take, your thoughts on what is taking place, what has taken place uh today in lebanon? well, what's taking place this week? actually israel unleashed regional war already with its using of explosive devices and to kill lot of civilians in lebanon and and then by its attack on beirout and now second attack on beirut today also so israel is unleashing regional war clearly netanyahu and his government are: the us continued support as they go forward in regional war, they will have devastating e

the headlines on press tv, hamas's political leader yahya sin was sends a message to the hezbullah leader expressing gratitude for the lebanese movement support for palestinians. the hezball resistance movement. has talked to the israely military sites in the occupied territories in retaliation for the regime strikes on lebanon. an iran's president returns to the country after an official visit to iraq to boost bilateral ties and promote unity between the two neighboring countries. hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in tehran. thank you for joining us. political leader of palestine's hamas resistance movement, yahya sinwa has sent a message to the hizballah leader sayid hasan nasrullah. sin war has hailed the lebanese resistance movement support for palestinians. he has vowed the resistance front will remain. steadfast in fighting the israeli regy. his excellency sayid hasan nasallah, secretary general of hisballah in lebanon, may god protect you. we in the islamic resistance movement hamas, received with great appreciation and pride your kind message that expr

lebanese government has condemned attacks and as criminal israeli aggression, hezbullah resistance movement also blamed israel vowing severe punishment. lebanon is in shock following a terrorist attack by the israeli regime, which saw explosions in multiple locations as a result of pages being detonated. the resistance movement hezbollah has held israel responsible promise in a tough and decisive. response, hezballah has also vowed to continue anti-israel operations in solidarity with gaza. israel, i think doesn't have the power or the the courage to do such a thing if the united states of america didn't give israel the uh the permission to do so. reactions poured in following the explosions. iran's foreign minister, in a phone call with his lebanese counterpart strongly condemned what he called israel's terror attack targeting lebanese citizens. abbas araqchi also expressed tehran's readiness to provide any help to treat the injured or their transfer to tehran. the iranian parliament speaker also slammed the attack saying that killing innocent civilians is the nature of israel. egypt's fir

committing atrocities in this ongoing genocide against the palestinians and now escalating tensions with hezbullah in lebanon to the point of killing now over 600 people and and injuring thousands of people. i mean, this is nothing more than state sponsored terrorism, that's what the zionist regime is doing here uh, but of course... uh the western media would have you believe the opposite, we saw many people, including for example, even us allies uh like uh like the king of jordan who who implored uh the zionist regime. to come to a cease fire agreement, to come to peace and to not escalate the situation, and of course my my thoughts are that sadly it has fallen on deaf ears, i don't think that the united states is willing and able uh at this point to reign in the zionist regime because they support them unconditionally as we've seen, and the zionists now are on the hunt, we see netanyahu and his administration really pushing the envelope and pushing this to be a multifrontal war of the highest escalation and the highest order. and that's the great danger here. y's forum minister has held lebanon'

in which the israelies would would want to actually do an operation inside lebanise territory. hezbullah's uh surprises have and the revelations have kept this war at base so far, and this is huge point of discussion in israeli media, mean you have you have former uh intelligence apparatises uh leaders of intelligence apparatus is basically howling, pleading with netanyahu not to go forward with this step, the same goes for other access of resistance factions, so what applies for hezbollah applies for yemen, it applies for iraq, and it applies for iran, which has and speaking of iran, iran has done, has played its, has get cards well hidden uh and the israelies are still still talking about an iranian response, they they still don't know what it's going to be like, when it might be like, how it's going to be like uh, if it's anything like what we saw in april in terms of the implications and how iran and what the israely response then it's going uh... how can i say this? it's it's just like the yemeny hypersonic missile today shaped the was it it could be called a game changer in the war a

always support israel's right to defend itself against iran and iran-back terrorist groups such as hezbullah, and committing these type of crimes for the so-called democrats of that country. to come out and say this: read these official statements of the so-called leaders of the us empire, and frankly speaking, it it these statements, they expose themselves, they expose how apack backs them, they expose how a war criminal like ben gabir and netan yahoo, they control people like biden and kamala harris, they expose themselves when they talk about an honorable man like sayrullah in this way um, if anything, sayrullah is the most moral military leader in that region, the most moral, as the brother was also mentioning that hizbullah goes out of its way to abide by rules of engagement, to abide by morality when engaging with evil force such as the zionist, and yet in the eyes of kamala harris, saiyan nasrullah is a terrorist. so so what does it say about the us regime in general if they are supporting uh terrorism themselves and they're calling those who are fighting terrorism terrorists? mean wh

the world, including in the australian city of sydney, where people protested the killing of the hezbullah leader. very devastated, very hard-broken, just lot of emotions, and i just felt like i had to come here today to just show my solidarity and show my respects to him and what he was fighting for, in the british city of manchester, people took to the streets calling for an embargo on israel, demonstrators in the... of einhoven condemned the killing of the innocent civilians in lebanon and palestine. in kashmir, people marched to show solidarity with lebanon and the palestinians while chanting pro hesbullah slogans. similarly, in pakistan's karachi, protesters rallied in support of hezbollah, calling for justice for the killing of martid nasrulah. the popular unity party in jordan. organize a large protest in response to the assassination of sayid, a leader of resistance who dedicated 30 years to supporting the palestinian cause. we are very sad because we lost a leader of resistance, one of the greatest supporters of gaza and the palestinian resistance. we can't forget that resistance

in the wednesday attack and it comes just to day after hundreds of pageers used by members of the hezbullah resistance movement and ordinary citizens exploded in israeli terrorist operation. the regime's attacks have drawn strong reaction from hisbullah head of the movement's executive counsel sheikh hashim saffidin has vowed a strong response to israeli terrorism. he said by taking such measures, regime's prime minister benjamin netanyahu only proves his weakness and will not be able to achieve his goals. safideen noted resistance maintains readiness in the face of israeli plots and will neither be intimidated nor step back. and joining us for an update earlier from the lebanese capital beirot was our correspondent matsala. today's events we are expect be a rise uh also when the marters, i think tomorrow the health minister will be giving another press conference to give details on what exactly has happened or the number of wounded and the number of deaths now when with regards to this we are looking at the lebanese government and the type of actions they might take, we know that the prime

apple f the core. crisis, devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, hezbullah

now the regime is airally attacking. many civilians under the pretence of targeting hezbullah, as of this broadcast at least, well it was 325 had lebanese had been killed, i believe the latest now is 356 that have been killed and at least 1200 injured, meanwhile hazbullah has increased its retaliatory attacks, so stay with us as we're going to be taking a look at the latest situation taking place on the spotlight, i'd like to welcome my guests to the program, starting off out of bethlehem, palestinian scientists and author mazan komsai. thank you so much for being with us. mazan, your take, your thoughts on what is taking place, what has taken place uh today in lebanon? well, what's taking place this week, actually israel unleashed the regional war already um with it. using of explosive devices and to kill lot of civilians in lebanon, and and then by its attack on beirout, and now second attack on beirout today also, so israel is unleashing regional war, clearly netanyahu and his government are assured the us continued support as they go forward in regional. war that will have devast

reasons for israeli attacks on uh lebanon is this, it wants to ideally create buffer zone and push uh hezbullah north of the litani river, but as we know if uh israel goes into lebanese territories." it will be crushed, it is hizballah cannot be compared to hamas and what hamas has, hamas mostly has rockets, but hizballah has large arsenal of rockets, missiles, long range missiles and hizbullah has not used a bit of it and it can crush israel and the occupied palestinian territories and the israeli military positions, but it is still waiting and it it has not unleashed all of its power on israeli regime, because hezballah is not the one who wants war, israely regime wants war, and this is clear because every time in the region israel has done provocations, not the resistance action action, resistance access factions, so the situation, as i said, is because of occupation of the palestinian lands and israeli genocide in the gaza strip and talking about diplomacy and talking about uh negotiations from the israeli side is nonsense because whenever a ceasefire deal was near israeli prime minister se

support israel's right to defend itself against iran and iran back to... terrorist groups such as hezbullah, hamas and it's absolutely mind boggling, but give me your thoughts most and on on the gal, it's quite unbelievable and talking about a regime that is killed over 40,000 people in gaza if not more, and committing these type of crimes for the so-called democrats of that country to come out and say this, i read these official statements. the so-called leaders of the us empire and frankly speaking, it it these statements, they expose themselves, they expose how apac backs them, they expose how a war criminal like ben gabir and netan yahoo, they control people like biden and camala harris, they expose themselves when they talk about an honorable man like sayrullah in this way, if anything is the most moral military leader in that region, the most moral, as the brother was also mentioning that hizbullah goes out of its way to abide by rules of engagement, to abide by morality when engaging with evil force such as the zionist, and yet in the eyes of camala harris, sad nasrullah is a terrori
