however, the regime believes that hezbollah should retreat to the north of the litani river. and this conversion area. to the buffer zone and in any case, either the lebanese army or the united nations peacekeeping forces should be stationed in this area so that they can ensure the security of the settlements in the north of the occupied territories, i think that even if this is actually a ground operation limited to the borders of the zionist regime with lebanon up to the litani river , considering that hezbollah will not stop firing anyway. the regime will have incentives to occupy more parts of the lebanese, and anyway, the zionists have been acting in a phased manner until now, they are talking about actually limiting ground operations, but when they face failure, they are actually limiting their operational scope. will expand my guess is that they will advance to the litani river in the early stages anyway. of course, of course, their plan there is progress and now the resistance has its own plans and plans, and in the long term they want to occupy more parts of lebanon,

and it was supposed to ensure that armed hezbollah militants withdraw to the other side of the litani rivered forces should move into that southern territory and work alongside the un peacekeepers. well, none of that has happened, and ultimately, you, as a representative of the government and the state, have to take responsibility for failing to implement that security council resolution. well, i mean, we have been working our diplomatic channels, stephen, for the past year, we have been pushing, i mean, you know, the us, amos hochstein has been coming several times. the french have been coming to lebanon. i mean, we have been working every diplomatic channel to be able to get a resolution. unfortunately, the escalation and the intention to keep the war going, to execute, you know, israel's agenda didn't help. i mean, we have seen what happened in gaza. gaza is totalled to the ground, and nothing changed. and the discussions for a ceasefire even didn't get anywhere. we were next in line. lebanon was next in line. we knew this was coming. we knew the negotiations will be tough. but most impo

you see, the zionists believe that hezbollah should retreat to the north of the litani river and create a buffer zone. now, there have been many discussions and speculations about the depth of this buffer zone. to every now the regime believes that hezbollah should retreat to the north of the litani river and this area should become a buffer zone, or the lebanese army or the united nations peacekeeping forces (unifil) should be stationed in this area so that they can ensure the security of the settlers in the north of the occupied territories. do research it seems to me that even if this is actually a ground operation limited to the borders of the zionist regime with lebanon up to the lithuanian river, given that hezbollah will not stop firing anyway.

and ideally it wants to create buffer zone in southern lebanon and push hezbollah to north of litani river, but as we all know these cannot happen because after these kinds of strikes and these massive strikes and southern lebanon and other parts of lebanon, the situation has not been changed and "the hazballah resistance movement have been carrying out anti-israel operations after these massive attacks on it, so israel wants to create buffer zone and it wants to prepare for a ground offensive, but i think if israel dares to go into lebanon, as hasan nasrulah said recently, it will be crushed, and they are wishing that hizbullah comes to lebanese." territories because hizbullah has the upper hand in the lebanese territories, so why israel is doing this at this time? whenever the situation in the gaza strip nears a cease fire theal, israel puts other issues first and says sets conditions, and this time it is, it wants to attack lebanon to... cover up the failures in the gaza strip and cover up the whole situation and make the public think more about lebanon than the israeli genocide in the

dastmalchian, the distance between the southern border in lebanon and the litani river in some parts, for example, up to 7 km. yes, i saw a report in one of the hebrew newspapers that their security officials said that lebanon's hezbollah has something like 120,000 rockets in this range even in the 33-day war, despite the fact that it tried to take even a small village like ait al-shaab. he could not find out if there is really the capacity in the zionist regime to open a new front in addition to the southern front, or just follow the same blind killing by firing rockets or using new technologies such as electromagnetism and do some of these things. let me tell you that in the 33-day war for the first time the myth is broken. of course, this was already the case in 2000 , but this myth was established, and israel's invincible security theory ended forever, and the line was drawn. well, according to his excellency, they wanted to do this during the 33-day war at that time. hezbollah's equipment and trained forces were much less than now. it is unlikely that mr. kardan will try his luck

well, clearly now they have rearmed south of the litani river with this complex network of rockets hidden in civilian areas, among other places. and they're able to fire on israel. and they drew another fight into lebanon that has resulted in so many civilian deaths. you won't see the people speaking publicly against hezbollah for drawing that fight into lebanon, because there's a price you pay. if you if you were to speak publicly, you could anticipate you're going to get a visit from someone in hezbollah. and that's how that's how it goes in a very heavy handed control in the south of lebanon, when you have this oppressive substate actor listed as a as a terrorist organization. so and again, i keep i think we keep coming back to the point that, that it causes chaos here at the end. one of the things i want to i want to correct, we talked before about not knowing if the third in command, ali karaki, had been killed. i see no confirmation that he was part of the strike last night. so when you put up, when you've seen that graphic that the idf has released of the hezbollah command period p

inside the zinist regime and hafa on different cities and and they were not pushed back by the litani river there was only an agreement with the unifel to... intervening and stay in between the borders and hizballah was endfully at the end uh they succeeded, they were able to release all their prisoners and they came out very strong and mighty and and israel was humiliated in front of the world and we seen even before that, mean sharon had to get kicked out of uh lebanon in the year 2000 after many years of a war with the zionist entity and different uh uh groups fighting each other because of the zionist regime and because of... us and so on, so hizbullah has lot of credibility, has a popular base that has been built from their work, not from talk, and not by by. forcing anybody and as the sister was saying that hisballah has christians behind, drus, different sects of islam, sunnis, lot of people are supporting hizbillah, especially in their support for the gaza people and this ongoing holocaust uh that we're seeing live on stream, okay right, thank you so much uh faraz, crossing back ove

lebanon , that is, where we are, attacking in different areas, including mustardli, north of the litani river in the sector. various areas, including around nabatieh and naghora in the southwest of lebanon, were targeted by the zionist regime's fighters . it is 3 kilometers away from occupied palestine and most of these attacks by the zionist regime fighters behind us are happening at a depth of 8, 9 and 10 kilometers. there is a massive fire in jabal rihan and jabal jabbour , created by hezbollah in response to these attacks by the zionist regime's fighters with dozens of missiles. that grad katyusha targeted various areas in the north-east and north-west of the occupied territories . zionist regime media reported that several missiles hit the military settlements of kiryat shmune, ramot naftali and dishon. also, zionist tv channel 14 reported that several missiles hit the beria base. the main and central air and missile defense base of the zionist military is located in the northern region of the occupied territories and 15 kilometers from the border of lebanon in the upper galilee region,

of lebanon, including residential areas of beirut. 34 days later, the israeli army reached the litani river ceased hostilities. the military claimed that hundreds of hezbollah militants were killed, but the organization itself admits to losing only 250 fighters. israel , according to official data, lost more than 100 soldiers, but the main losses were economic. the damage from israeli bombings amounted to more than $2.5 billion, but the shelling hezbollah inflicted comparable damage on israel. a quarter of industrial enterprises, hotels, and trade establishments were hit by their attack. according to the security council resolution, israel left southern lebanon. hezbollah was not supposed to appear south of the littani river, but it is obvious that it is violating this agreement. the ground operation is, in principle, to a certain extent beneficial for hezbollah, that is, in terms of military operations. of course, from a political point of view , khazbavata is also not particularly interested in a strong development of the conflict, that is, it will be losses, that is, if it is the death o

it was their pride that they thought that they could reach the litani river with this advance, which seems to be their goal now. it turns out that they are very worried about such a scenario, and if they want to enter the lebanese territory, it is likely that they will stay in the same areas near the border and from any advance inside and deep into the lebanese territory. the possibility of this is very high, they refrain , because they are worried that if they advance deep into the lebanese soil, they will be ambushed by hezbollah's children, and this may end very badly for them. thank you very much, mr. hosseini , thank you, god willing, we will be in touch with you again in the next hour and we will receive the latest news from you. thank you for your support, dear viewers. nile sellers are among the people who have shown themselves on tv . his mobilization during the period of 8 years of defense, his sacredness in his responsibilities after the war, he is one of the great military designers in our army, the issue of design at strategic levels requires people who are educated peop

not list all the allies, in the south of lebanon in the bikaa valley and push them back to the litany river, it's 15 km, so in the second lebanon war it didn't work out, then hazbollah was much weaker, now such a task will be set, the whole problem is that hazbollah during this time created even more perfect fortification systems, here... a week ago they showed one of these fortification systems, but this is essentially an underground city, where cars drive, motorcyclists rush about, they are made in such a way that combat tunnels allow you to enter the flank from the rear the israeli army, that is, it is a whole system of such, that is why the israeli army can simply be tied up there, and even if it overcomes some line, then in its rear there will be these trained for guerrilla warfare, including urban guerrilla warfare, formation, by the way, there is something to learn from the point of view of self-defense forces there territorial ones. that is why the israeli army will of course be curtailed, but the worst thing that can happen for israel is that hezbollah will still use these missiles

they said in order to do that, they have to push hezbollah north of the litani river themselves. ou -- u.n. river force working that buffer zone. they work alongside the lebanese armed forces. but i think many people you speak to will say that he did not do the job of keeping hezbollah out. israel said that is what it is doing now. many people question the methods by which israel is doing that. and the civilian casualties which this current action is causing. >> if you could explain to us, the israeli defense forces spokesperson made the claim that has below was -- the headquarters was underneath a residential building. how much do we know about how hezbollah operates? arguably these are the same claims israel made against hamas. >> they were a secretive organization. something like that, the location of their headquarters is a closely guarded secret. i don't know if we will ever find out for sure whether or not that was the case. but to talk about that area, i was down there yesterday afternoon. it was one of those precision strikes as the israelis called it. it is a heavily popu

high command , the goal is to enter the territory of lebanon to a depth of 20 km, that is, to the litani river, which is located approximately at this distance from the border, in order to subsequently create a buffer zone and save northern israel from shelling from the country of hezbollah, now the whole question is how long... this operation will last, because if the israeli forces linger on lebanese territory, they may encounter the same resistance that they have already encountered in the same gaza strip, yes, that is, with sabotage groups, hazbalah, which, as practice shows, can very effectively resist the same vaunted hit them with hand grenades produced at the end of the last century about the international reaction to these. iran has previously stated that if israel invades into the territory of lebanon, then the islamic republic will support hazbala, however, at the moment no specific steps have been taken, it is also possible that other forces, the so-called axis of resistance in the region, may also strike at israel or at israeli troops, of course, we are talking primarily about the

they have such a task for now is put: they pushed hezbollah back beyond the litani river 15 km, but they will not hold this territory. in 2000, they themselves could not hold this territory, they left. in 2006, by the decision of the un, the lebanese army was brought into this buffer zone. the lebanese army, where it is not, there is hezbollah, that is, sooner or later they will return there. hezbollah cannot be destroyed. this, this, you see, this is not only some kind of military organization, it is a powerful octopus, yes, so to speak, in the economic, social, god knows, in anything, banking, any system that is there, another matter, the position of iran, yes, if in the second lebanon war in damascus a special headquarters was formed from representatives of syria and iran, who were engaged in, assistance, transferred weapons to hezbollah, then kasim suleimaniyah was alive, then now on what volume will this be carried out, yes here is one interesting point, in the second lebanon war the aviation means... israel immediately struck almost the first second day on the beirut airport, now t

inside lebanon, we must capture the territories inside lebanon, we must drive hezbollah back to the litani river and make this area belong to israel, we must attack targets in beirut and lebanon to basically disable hezbollah's capabilities. they cannot attack israel in the coming years. you can call this job opening the country, but i call it preventing the next massacre. hizbollah is now infiltrating from there, recently with attention. due to the widespread destruction in gaza, discussions have been raised within the israeli army and security circles is the country ready for a big war in the north or not? israel tells us that its people have full faith in israel's capabilities to start another conflict front. although israel's intelligence failed on october 7th, it is generally excellent. we saw this in the removal of senior hamas officials . israel is ready and something. what he needs most is to put aside the mentality that these things are dangerous or that we can solve the problem diplomatically. the reason is that we have seen many times that such a view is not correct. an hour after we

and the only way to push hezbollah back to the litani river some 30 kilometers to the north in accordance with un security council resolution 17, no one that ended the 2006 war between hezbollah and israel, then that is something that it would feel it has no other choice but to do michael elliott gotkine in london. >> thanks all right now i want to go to trita parsi, who is executive vice president of the quincy institute in washington and focuses a lot on iran. appreciate you being with us. good to see you. hezbollah is iran's most prized non-state ally. does nasrallah has death along with the other he hits on his balah the crippling of hamas in gaza, and the assassination of the hamas leader ismail haniyeh in tehran. does all of this weaken iran's reach or influenced regionally is it humiliating for iran? >> it certainly has been humiliating and has love for course, is a tremendous importance to iran. iran views it as its first line of defense against any israeli aggression and in for instance, in 2006, when israel went into lebanon, and as you reported, actually suffered feet, part of

he designed the litani river, which he had the same design before, this river is the most important in the south of lebanon, and he is looking to bring himself to this river and create a safe area for his mercenaries, now the mercenaries who were there before in the falangists who are present in the region, for example hand them over so that he can create a safe zone, push back hezbollah from the borders and revive the settlements. in his speech, allah said clearly that you will never be able to reach these settlements and we will not let them, and as long as there is support for the people of palestine and gaza, we will not allow these settlements, which are mostly military bases and intelligence bases. the zionist regime's eavesdropping exists in this region . it has returned to normal. it seems to me that the zionist regime has gained certainty from sayyid hassan's speech that it cannot go to the north of the occupied land anymore. yes, thank you, mr. torabi , another expert on west asian issues , is also with us via the internet . well, almost all its residents fled, but despite th

seeing uh in my estimation is designist plan to take over territory uh from lebanon south of the litani riveron, we're seeing uh a zionist regime uh unbridled without any borders and boundaries and uh opportunities to stop it, it has become rogue state and a terroristic state unlike any other, and so not only is it inflicting an ongoing genocide on the palestinian people, it now is sewing... chaos and destruction in lebanon, it continues to so it in syria, and we saw of course the bombings in yemen, so i my estimation is that we are going to regional war because that is what the zionist regime wants, that's always been its plan, is for regional escalation to continue to create a permanent buffer around the totality of its territory, and of course to take more territory, ultimately settler colonialism's logic is more territory and it wants to expend it. now of course the lebanese people are suffering under immense bombardments, we even saw a report in almayadin from some dear comrads and friends of mine who are saying that there's possibility of fourth generation nuclear weapons being used on

to express they should make a land advance in the south of lebanon to capture a point where the litani river is now in question , make the area a buffer zone and save themselves. the experience of the 33-day war they have and know that fighting in southern lebanon means massacring their own soldiers, therefore starting a heavy wave of attacks on the residential areas of southern lebanon. one point, dr. hossein moghadam, what we have and are talking about is the widespread wave of attacks now. to the poisoned areas of the assassination of resistance commanders in lebanon, it means declaring war on lebanon to start a large-scale war. yes, i think that the beginning of a war has started. well, we just yesterday witnessed the speech of the deputy head of hezbollah in lebanon, sheikh naim qassem, who said that a saying a phrase under the heading "we enter a war". a prisoner of war al-muftouh means that the entire resistance front has entered into a war, it is not like that only hezbollah is now involved in this war, from the eight popular groups to ansarullah in yemen to other forces that exist i

since years ago to invade the southern lebanon in order to push back the huzballah from northern litani river so it's a war taking place escalating sometimes to levels where it you know it reveals that we are going into a major war, sometimes it cools down, this is the facts of of four, but the israelis have they have declared and announced so many times on many spokesman of the israeli government that they want to eliminate hizballah totally and they don't want any resistance to be laid on their... borders, so this is not going to happen, the war now it's taking place in lebanon, not only because supporting the palestine and in in gaza, no, it's we are fighting the same war and the same, the same enemy, and the the enemy, which is called the israel, israeli governments were planning to evacuate or eliminate gaza from its population by displacing or killing and and destroying gaza strip and the turn was coming to us in lebanon and we all understand that either the some lebanese uh people admit that or not, but it's a fact that the it's the plan of the israeli government. okay, well sap, your

israel wants to create buffer zone ideally in lebanon and push hezballah. further north of the litani river, but as we know this can't happen because lebanon and is backing hezbollah, lebanese people, i mean, and hezballah has very great fire power, and it is not compared, it can't be compared to what hamas has and it is much, much more larger force, and if israel dares to go into lebanese territories, it will be crushed by hazbullah, and hazballah has the... upper hand in the lebanese territories, so what israel is saying is saying that it wants to prevent heizballah from retaliating to assassination of commanders and pajor blast, but as we see and as you said we saw that hizbollah has the operation has the capability to carry out operations despite these attacks. in the meantime, the lebanese resistance movement hisbollah has released a statement its latest retaliatory attacks a number of israeli military sites. the targeted facilities include the baghdadi site, which was hit directly with rockets. hisbullah's rockets also targeted the mayan barut site in the operae region. the radar side

hezbollah of lebanon will say, well, i will go from the south of lebanon, after actually north of the litani river, which is fine. this will not happen, that is, if it was supposed to happen with these pressures, it will happen much sooner than this. two , it will increase the volume of fire against both hezbollah and balleh, which has serious consequences for the israelis. the more it is pushed towards the south, well, it will have political implications for netanyahu, and it will also increase the burden on israeli society from a social point of view, and the protests will increase, because right now it is involved in the northern front, it is already involved in internal protests, that is, the protests started last night. the interior was in israel and the words of their people it was that we now have 11 prisoners in gaza, now we are fighting somewhere else altogether, and that war will not end in any positive result, of course, it may end in a ground war, and if the war if the ground starts, it is possible that the number of prisoners in the southern front is only 11, now this time they will h

hezbollah was supposed to not appear south of the litani river. but it is obvious that it violates thiseement. the ground operation, it is in principle to a certain extent beneficial for hezbollah, that is, in military terms, there, of course, from a political point of view, hezbollah is also not particularly interested in a strong development of the conflict, that is, there will be losses, that is, if this is the death of civilians, who are the electorate of the same hezbollah, but again, not achieving the main goal, that is, a truce in the gaza strip, it has... players on the verge of biting the lot, external forces, which are used to giving orders, throw up their hands, no one listens. the wars in the middle east have an important consequence: massive flows of refugees, primarily to europe, and there is already such an overflow that the political system is bursting at the seams. in the elections in brandenburg last weekend, the social democrats barely snatched first place from... the far right, saved themselves from complete embarrassment, but the alternative for germany received the

all there are no missiles, no ballistic missiles, no large missiles south of the south of the litani river, what you have is drones and small rockets there, and none of these had launchers and they destroyed none of them, it was just a show, it was a show of force and it only lasted about 20 minutes, and you can tell that it wasn't really anything terribly. because hisbolla who who actually does admit casualties in these occasions have always been very honest when they've lost people say that the whole process they lost two men in this which is indicates i think that it wasn't a very serious and they had no launches in fact um uh hesbollah say and there's every reason to think this is correct um that the platforms the drone platforms that they were flying um were unaffected or they lost one, i think or two maybe, but it was no great route, all that is just for propaganda, now the point point is not so much about the the details of this, but to understand what's happening, i mean what is the strategy and what are we seeing here? what we're seeing here is a recalibration of the war, original

surrender throughout southern lebanon and the withdrawal of their soldiers from the other side of the litani rivers, dear mr. dr. kanani moghadam, your excellency, your analysis according to the clauses that come out of this cease-fire agreement between the lebanese and the zionist regime, which is a 21-day agreement it will only be included in a specific area and the zionist regime will have the permission to do so with all its powers again in the gaza war. it is different in relation to this issue . make a declaration because if he wants to go towards the resolution, china and russia have the right to veto this and they will definitely veto it, because it is written that the complete destruction of hezbollah should be done, a buffer zone should be created, and the presence of hezbollah forces should not be allowed. then the security of northern palestine must be established it has nothing to do with gaza, well, this is exactly the opposite of all the red lines that hezbollah has set in this direction, and the interesting thing is that it was mostly a political maneuver, the french and the america

lands as well as provisions for the withdraw of all hezbollah formations to the to the north of litani river. we also fully support unifil, which plays key stabilizing role along the blue line. it is the presence of the peacekeepers that had for a long time helped to mitigate risks of the beginning of a full-blown military confrontation, we support and we stress the need for strict compliance uh with resolution 1701 and respect for the safety and security of blue helmets. for our part, we will continue to focus our diplomatic efforts on deescalating situation, preventing a catastrophic scenario. we stand ready to coordinate with international regional partners to that end. most importantly, there's a need for nobody to continue to monopolize these efforts for the advancement of their parochial geopolitical agendas for essent. we have to counter the consequences of specifically those actions being carried out by one of the permanent members of the security council. thank you for your attention. mr. verchinin for his statement. i now give the floor to his excellency mr. andoshishide, assistant

to be located from the litani river is a claim that is very heavy for them, and because they came fromthat direction, hezbollah had set up a tent in the village of ghajjar in lebanon and said that whoever dares to go to these tents, well, they have not been able to do this during the past two years. now they have such a demand to create a buffer zone do it though a lot

killings, mass massacers in subrancha 1982, the invasion, in 1978, i was only 11 years old, the litani river operation, in 2000, in 2006, and now in 2023 until 24, we've been... witnessing for one whole year, what is enough today, my friend in in tehran is enough, we need to stand up on our feet and you know compete with those bastards, with those gangsters, we should fire like hell tonight, we should fire them like hell, all right, thank you for that, i've taken over from hashimi and i will be continuing this uh uh coverage of what we're looking at in terms of the way that this regime has uh gone through with uh a large scale massacer at this point to have taken place, based on what we're looking at over here uh different targets that they have uh waged uh their missiles and uh different uh types that have been used from the looks of the different videos that we have received uh even bunkerbuster bombs may have been used uh in the past 48 hours on the different areas uh that we're looking at and uh valley has been one of the areas that has been a major target of the israel regime along with

insolidarity, and they have shown enough resentment actually to the massacres of israel since 1978, the litani riverow there is huge number of as such just like sayid hasan nasar allah, the secretary general of hizballah has mentioned earlier last week and before that year ago that we have thousands of imad al-mughi in lebanon who have been trained, heavily trained and equipped just like the the leader, the military leader has founded al-rudwaan in 2008 and the the the martyrs of the martyr such as ibrahim aqil and mahmod hammed who have become marty since couple of days ago until now. yes sir, but you know this this regime, this particular regime, and you mentioned, you called them uh gangsters and thugs, it behaves like it has no concern for any repercussions, because it is not uh abided one bit to the rules of engagement, the rules of war to international humanitarian law, to international law in the last 11 months. and other and other regimes before it, other administrations, i mean the guy that came before netanyahu and the guy that came before him, we never saw true respect for uh internationa

hezbollah was not supposed to appear south of the litani river.t is obvious that it is violating this agreement, the ground operation it is for... profitable, that is, in terms of military matters, there, of course, from a political point of view, hazbala is also not particularly interested in a strong development of the conflict, that is, it will be a loss, that is, if it is the death of civilians, which is the electorate of the same hazbala, but again, having not achieved the main goal, that is, a ceasefire in the gaza strip, it will not, in my opinion , back down on this, in this case israel, it will again , sooner or later, in my opinion, be forced to launch a ground operation for the reason that, well, it will not work out to bomb in sufficiently simply the existing rocket artillery missile systems there, so that it stops shelling, that is, the north of israel. objectively, a major war is not beneficial to anyone, this does not mean that it is impossible. the players are on the verge of having a snack while doing business, external forces tha

and we have to remember that israel did expand into lebanon according to their 1919 map to the litani river, and then they were, they are... not in lebanon only because of the resistance of hizballah and others, so that's why israel was removed from lebanon, and now israel will try to get back into lebanon as using the excuse of of ongoing war. mr. gumsia, can you also talk to us about the issue that we were uh... discussing with ali risk just moments ago and that's the lack of a proper condemnation uh coming from uh from many western countries namely uh allies of the israeli regime with regards to this uh terror cyber attack uh this is precisely the problem the hypocrisy of the western world uh which was seen in the last un resolution 124 countries voted for the resolution 14 countries including the us and israel and some tiny islands and tiny countries dependent on the us voted against the resolution and and 43 countries abstained. i more concerned about the 43 countries that abstained and i am about the 124 countries that support the support liberation of palestine uh "the reason for tha

forces as well as the people living in the border areas of the land. are occupied so that the litani river go back and can enter its forces through land crossings into the southern regions of lebanon and actually create a security belt in this area so that the displaced citizens can return to their own towns. that will definitely not happen and with. with the insane actions that were taken today and the last day or two with the assassination of the commanders and the actions that took place, it will definitely not happen . if he wants to carry out an operation and take action on the ground, the resistance forces will definitely take action from all sides and they will not leave the hero hezbollah alone, and this time they will receive less silim from the west and will not allow this to happen. an insane and insane man and his very brutal actions want to continue to cause more crisis, fire and tension in the region. today, the fake regime of sanisi and netanyahu himself, with the support of the united states of america, is seeking to expand the circle of tension and war and crisis. and some

and push hezbollah north of the litani river. >> and i also just want to get your take on the attack this week on hezbollah using the pagers of walkie-talkies they then exploded an injured and killed a number of hezbollah members, some rights groups have been quick to point out that might have not been okay under international law. >> but what is your take on all of it and how do you view both the intent of the operation and then how it was executed? well, israel is taken no credit for this. we're not going to take credit for it. i'm not an official in the israeli government. i still will not take credit for it, but i scratch my head when people say that this is a violation of international law, somehow this is not in accordance with the rules of law by the same token, then taking out bin laden by seal team six was a violation of international there's no law. this is an organization that's dedicated to our destruction. it is not in favor. a two-state solution, is not in favor of peace. that's a branch of iran its spires to annihilate us. and you can't get a more pinpointed operation

the risk to mission personnel, most civilian personnel. have temporarily relocated north of the litani riverand i thank you, i thank the secretary general for his briefing. i shall now make a statement in my capacity as the deputy prime minister and minister for foreign and european affairs of slovenia. that was antonio gutieres, the un secretary general speaking at the uh un security council session on israel's aggression against the lebanon. gutierez said israel last week carried out reckless campaign of detonating. pagers and other communications devices in civilian areas of uh lebanese cities and towns resulting in the deaths and injuries of many lebanese civilians, he said security council deplored those attacks an emergency uh session at the time and the regime has only followed it up with more intense rocket and drone attacks now against lebanese cities and towns and against lebanese civilian infrastructure and he said this has to stop uh he said israel has to push for immediate deescalation and respect lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity. guuterres also has hisbollah to re

the typical dividing line is the litani river, about ten miles back from the border. so that when you have the israeli defense minister go speak to israeli forces. now massing on the northern border and use this phrase, we will employ all the capabilities at our disposal that's quite clear. public signaling about what may very well be the next step. and i think you could see these special operations raids as well as the bombing and the strikes we've seen in recent days as part of that same ground operation jim, what is now known about hezbollah as it is currently constituted, their will and ability to carry out retaliation i think to some degree in recent days and weeks, if you go back for instance, to the pager attack as well as the killing on friday of nasrallah we've seen something of a piercing of the bubble of hezbollah's military capabilities as advertised, this was because iran strongest proxy weapon in the middle east and against israel, its strongest piece of that ring of fire around israel. we talked to great length about the many tens of thousands of missil

the weapons factory, we know that there were some shelling in yat, ritarrun all the way to the litani riverz. in the western bqa now yesterday there was what seemed to be fire belt um throughout the border regions the towns of tire even the towns surrounding nabati all the way to jabal rayan mountain which is one of the very high mountains which is usually bombarded by the israelis since they believe hezbolah has lot of presence in the raihan mountain which was in in the 80s during the occupation and then early 90s used a lot by hizbullah fighters in order to withdraw and prepare themselves for operations um and we know that that was bombarded very heavily all the way to almost all the valleys and the mountain sides in the west western bqa area which of course is linked with southern lebanon more than balbak of course um we know that the israelis have uh the day before we learned from the israeli spokesperson saying that there will be specific security procedures uh which would require that schools were closed, the shores would be closed and it seems has not wait till the sunrise to launch

offensive uh in lebanon. we also hearing now this discussion about pushing the hizbillah beyond the litani river um and they're saying that the un or the lebanese army should be there on that southern strip. this is this is now increased agenda, new item because the war in gaza for them has been going. unsuccessful as my colleague has mentioned, and now they want exacpate the matter with lebanon, and and in fact i'll be honest with you, they're trying to spoil the pot even further to get other parties involved to create a regional conflict. israel is wanting escalate the situation and inflame other countries to get involved. we just heard president biden in the united nations, claiming that you know he wants that peace deal that he put together with with the ceasefire. qatar and egypt, but these are falling on empty years. now we have the situation in lebanon, and with president biden's help going out and the election around the corner, i don't even think the united states is in any position to actually even start peace talks or even try to push israel forward. israel at netanyahu has tossed the

israel wants to create buffer zone ideally in lebanon and push hezballah further north of the litani riverat carry some ammunitions, perhaps because the size of the blast are pretty large, or it could mean that they're using uh, i guess uh stronger and more potent ammunition or bombs or missiles, first of all um muhammad khatib talks about us support the the the way that israel has carried out its military operations um based on i guess one of our guests that says action speaks louder than words the us comes in public and says we don't want this war to expand we don't want there to be a war between hisballah and israel but yet it's providing israel with the ammunitions with missiles and all types of armaments what type of? do you think the us is playing here and how much of involvement is there? because we keep hearing uh that uh israel wants to draw the us into this war, but i think the us is in this war and is participating and maybe even not only supporting it militarily, but uh sharing intel and directing certain aspects of this uh offensive, military offensive by this regime. the deta

push back the lebanese resistance about... 700 kilometers away from the borders, because northern litani river or southern litane river, and even if he push the uh resistance up to the far north in lebanon, the rockets still be able to reach any point in in in occupied palestine, so this is, i believe this is just justifying what they have the intention and planned to invade lebanon again, as they did in 2000 in 1982, so this is nothing, this just they are trying to find excuses in to to fool the world, that's they are, they are the most elegant army in in the world, i believe this is not true at all, is the the most brutal army in the world with no values whatsoever, we can so we can say no, not not at all, so pushing back... the resistance even 20 or 30 or 40 kilometers that will not stop the rockets hitting any targets inside the occupied palestine as we did yesterday and we did for the past 11 months, but now the numbers of rockets and the the the value of the rockets, the the war heads of the rockets are heavier and with the longer range uh with more destructive power, which is you know t
