or multiple fires, not quite distinctive from here, let's see if we can get our correspondent mariam saleh to tell us more about this recent attack, clearly there has been some kind of attack. on the city of taira, mariam, maria, okay, well it seems that we don't have our correspondent with us, but we are receiving some live images from lebanon, the city of tyra, israel has been carrying out fresh air strikes on lebanon, this has been the case since the 8th of october 2003, which has... over 2,000 people dead in lebanon only, these are live images that we're receiving some from lebanon, let's see if we can get our correspondent to tell us more about what is happening there, mariam saleh, if you could please give us an update, fill us in. on the attacks, yes, of course the israel shelling has continued throughout all the parts across south lebanon in addition to the ba and the southern s today there were additional residential compounds that were completely demolished by the israeli air force and perhaps even the warships, of course we do not know for sure what type is bomb they are using o

we have press tv's correspondent mariam saleh joining us from there uh and uh the first thing that i would like to ask her is uh just some general updates about the situation in beirot, marian, we know that uh israel has not stopped uh its unrelenting aggression in the southern uh lebanese parts so uh we would love it if you could uh shed some light on the latest there. well the attacks are not only limited to south lebanon of course, we also have direct attacks on the southern suburbs of and the capital itself in various areas and all the car region uh addition to perhaps maybe sporadic and limited attacks in other districts all across lebanon, we we saw that yesterday the israelis targeted one area which was considered safe and there were many displaced people in that area and that is the area of mount beirot, mount lebanon, actually the vicinity of beirot, in the town of kaifoon specifically, fortunately the, there were only casualties that are not among the... human casualties as a result of that attack, but of course they have been targeting various areas in addition to the para

correspondents all over the region covering the story for us and right now our correspondents in beihrut mariam salehi'll get our viewers about what's going on and what's happening where you are? yes thank you well let me first um give you an idea about the latest casualties or the number of casualties that we have based on numbers coming out from the leban ministry of health which seems to be having a very difficult time of course to be able to really make an estimate estimate of the number of murders in all the countries and it's very difficult to make that assessment because you have shelling now and not only in south lebanon but also in various areas in the bikar which extends from the western bkat all the way to the north of baka and the borders with syria addition to the attacks that are occurring in areas where there are many displaced people, here for example where i'm standing is one of the towns called kaifoon and right behind me in the series of mountains or hills which you can see less than two hours ago we had another israeli strike in that area which we were told was near a residential

darhiya south of beirut, we are going ' live connect uh talking to our press tv correspondent mariam saleh live from beirot, mariam, if you are with us, what have you got for us regarding these latest developments in the region? well, just one minute ago, i believe, just as you were introducing the bulletin, we heard the sounds of very heavy explosions, very close to where we are right now, and it sounded as if it was closer to area that was... far away, not even the southern suburbs of baibut, not in the heart of the southern suburbs of baibut, but perhaps even somewhere further, we know that there were at least six strikes on the southern suburbs of... pay root in the last half hour or so, and we also know that there were mostly residential compound compounds that were completely destroyed, almost completely demolished, similar to what we've seen in the last few days as well as we observed of course what is happening in those areas of southern suburbs of bay, now we know that the majority of the areas in the southern suburbs have been evacuated, um, however this the outskirts of the... s

our correspondent mariam saleh joined us earlier from the lebanese capital beirot with more details on israel's latest acts of aggression. well that one of the strikes struck a residential building near one of the big. hospitals in the southern suburbs of beirot, the saint that is hospital was very close to the area of which was targeted, we're talking about more than 12 strikes against the southern suburbs of beirot, we can expect also that the there will be another strike also very soon, and like i said there, there's probability that lot of those strikes are being conducted not by war. planes, but by war ships. it seems that the israelis are going into a systematic destruction of the southern suburbs of reroot in addition to attempts to try to terrorize or displaced people in areas which are deemed safe. israel is really attempts, they are attempting to make sure that they try to crush any area which is considered a relief for hisbollah, but hazbolah does, of course, still have the ability to maneuver seemingly on the... ground, especially in the issues of face to face combat, and t

earlier we were joined by our lebanon correspondent mariam saleh to bring us up to speed on the late. developments in israeli aggression against the arab country, let's take a listen, this is the old airport road in beirot, that it was a gas station, and if that is the that is correct, of course this is a direct attack against the civilian target, the civilian institution, this is a gas station for people, for cars and so on, and it is of course it will cause fire. will cause danger in addition to the pollution that it will cause. now this also comes uh around an hour or so be after we had there was a direct strike a residential house in the area of jigi which is in the shuf district. first there were reports that it was health association then turned out to be a residential house and there are two up until now recorded murders as a result of that attack specifically. "there are also also lot of injured children uh in that strike, we have several areas also in the back where they are targeting specifically the civilians, so it's a systematic targeting of civilians, but it's even diffe

strikes against the souther southern suburb of beirot, and joining us right now is our correspondent mariam saleh from beirout. mariam, can you please update us on what has happened? happened, well it seems the israelis are going further and further when it comes to what targeting and destroying, so we're looking at systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure in addition to residential buildings and whole compound, so yesterday there was news that one of the main gas stations in airport road, which is also another very significant civilian site, that the the gas station. was targeted, we know that it was in flames and people who saw it from areas that are further away from the southern suburbs of bayrut um and it seem to have also caused a lot of damage and fires in that area and as you know the rescue teams are being targeted and struck by the israeli drones and the fighter jets so it's very difficult for the rescue teams to get close to be able to stop fires at least um

our beirut correspondent mariam saleh joined us earlier with more details and the latest israely attacks across southern lebanon. just take a lesson. around an hour ago we heard sounds of very loud explosions and there was a very heavy uh strike on the town of kamati as well as the town of kaifoon. these are towns in the area which is in mount lebanon. it is outside the air. which is usually targeted in the southern suburbs of beirot, the mount lebanon area was usually in the past areas where the displaced seek safe haven, especially from the southern suburbs of bayrut, and so you have them basically jam-packed with displaced people, especially from the southern suburbs, we know that the result of that shell, that shelling included six marters, including women and children, of course we are still waiting for details to know. um exactly how many murders and injured and so on, you also have the fact that the israelis seem to be now preparing to try in other areas, they have failed to try to invade or to launch incursions into the eastern side of the border, more towards i and yarun, there

seems hazbullah has the upper hand when it comes to ground combat. thanks lot, mariam press tv's mariam saleh joining us uh from the lebanese capital beirot, these are also live images that we're getting from dahia uh the southern suburbs of the lebanese capital. iranian president masad pizishian has once again vow a strong response to any further mistaken moves by israel against iran, he was speaking a joint press conference with qatar zamer sheikh tamim bin hamad al-athani in doha. pesishiyan said if israel took any mistake instep iran's response would be categorical and strong. he noted that israel seeks to spread in security and crisis across the region and must be stopped. the iranian president said seek war, but israel forced it to react by assassinating resistance leaders. also has met with high-ranking hamas officials in doha. in the meeting, he underlined the importance of unity among muslim nations in confronting israel said israel would not dare to commit crimes if islamic countries are united. the iranian foreign minister has once again called on the international community to sto

attacks, including 127 children and 261 women. earlier we were joined by our lebanon correspondent mariam saleh to bring us up to speed on the latest developments in the israeli aggression against lebanon. let's take a listen. the past few daysuhts were only targeted throughout the night and the early hours of the morning, however recently, for example like today and even yesterday there were several attacks during the day against the southern specially residential buildings, the attacks on south lebanon of course continue throughout the day um not leaving one area or town or village perhaps not attacked and this is of course in addition to the targeting of the medical ' body which has become somewhat of an extreme and systematic targeting. last of course we have is that we there was three injured in the area which is the condition of the area very close to the city of sin. we know that the city of sin has been targeted once in this past a week which led to the marturdom of over 40 people one one area that was against the building. where there were displaced people being housed, now we have the

i am now joined by our correspondent in beirot mariam saleh to get the latest updates in the fourth day lebanon uh yesterday we know the last hours of the night, the early hours the morning, the focus for the israelies was more on the on the borderline uh really heavily shown shelling the areas ofilla all the way towards the plains of khiam also focusing on shelling and launching a lot of flare bms uh for the night to be able to light that area. uh surrounding for example iita shop and surrounding as well very heavily shelling that area seemingly in attempts to try to pave the way for the ground forces and although we had after midnight declaration from the israeli military uh saying that the israelis have begun the new phase of their offensive against lebanon which would include as they said limited incursions. um into lebanon, putting in additional objectives, saying that they want to destroy or crush or end the presence, the infrastructure of hazbullah, target the forces, the one force, which is known to be the ground forces of hazbullah, and also to target and make sure that the end

well uh, we are now joined by mariam saleh, our press tv correspondent joining us from beirot, giving us the latest updates from the situation in uh southern lebanon, what with all the uh attacks that are happening there, marian, please uh give us the the latest updates on the ground, well we have several reports of different strikes all across uh south lebanon as well as the in addition to the of course the shelling very heavy. last night on the southern suburbs of israelis targeted the town the southern town of we know that two people were morning as a result of that attack is not ableor tower so this is also the result of either attacks from the air force the fighter jets or the drones we also know that there were direct attacks and bombing and all the border towns where there are attempts for incursions especially and we also know that the the towns of and as well have been almost perfect bomb very heavy bombardment there 600 strikes in the last week or so on that area basically to pave the way maybe for a possible for the attempts the incursion have already started we also know t

all right, well thank you so much for that update, that's mariam saleh press tv's correspondent in beirut, bringing us the latest information that she has about the attacks by the israeli regime on lebanon and also retaliatory attacks by hazbullah that have taken place today, and of course the name of the operation, as it was announced by hazbullah, khibar operations, which of course has lot. for significance again, you're looking at these live images on your left side of your screen, the results of uh one of these uh attacks or bombings by the israel regime a apartment building there in beirot and a close up on the right hand side of the smoke rising up and the uh units that uh seem to have been attacked, we'll bring you more information on that as we get it in, i'd like to cross over to toronto. and welcome author and journalist eric walberg. eric, thanks so much for being with us. eric, we're looking at the israel regime just yesterday, attacking four countries, four countries across this region, occupied palestine, um, syria, lebanon, and yemen. i mean, this is obviously, well we know

okay, that was back on august 25th, the corresponder mariam saleh joins us from beirot to give us her thoughts about when that announcement was was made. mariam, you had the um israely military spokesperson talking about how there was going to be an imminent attack similar to uh the way that operation alaso flood was executed by the hezbollah fighters, justifying the attack. then that suit following that announcement that it made, one thing that was pretty interesting was the fact that he admitted to the success of... targeting the northern part and of course the uh way that the settlers had to be, i guess removed from that area had to remove themselves from that area, but what do you think about that day when they made the is made that announcement, was there any validity to it? absolutely not, we know that hasballah, if they wanted to, they would have done it after the israelis turned all the gal maybe almost into a buffer zone or into a military zone, we know that now also 'there's many of the settlements and the occupied territories that have been transformed into a larger militar

well we are now uh joined by mariam saleh, our press tv correspondent who was situated in beirot to give a more information on the attacks that israeli regime has carried out in southern lebanon. maria, if you can hear me for all yours. yeah, well before i begin about the latest developments on the military front and the israeli aggressions. we are here in one of the the main headquarters or the meeting center for the parliament speaker, nabi habit, and this is where the... and foreign minister mr. arakshi has just uh just a couple of minutes ago, he arrived to meet with lebanon's parliamentary speaker and just before that he met with lebanon's prime minister. now this visit is considered significant um because it comes a time when the aggression of the israelis continues unabated uh over all areas in lebanon, in addition to threats against the beirot international airport and we know that that threat was genuine since the israelies have so far targeted all civil infrastructure and all areas and so uh that was in itself a challenge uh so the foreign minister of the islamic republic of ir

promise that basically you self fulfilled. thank you so much mari from press tv's iran desk. well mariam saleh is with us right now live from beirout. mariam i'm seeing uh breaking news that the israely occupation aircraft have launched a series of air strikes on the towns of tool tarie. in lebanon, what have you got for us on that and also the also the other latest developments? i had very difficult time trying to really understand your question, but i think that if you want to know about the updates, it seems to be a day full of surprises and it seems that the surprises uh that hizballah secretary general have promised the israelis if they do try and attempt to enter lebanon and launch these incursion. into lebanon uh then they would be met with very uh clear resistance, very steadfast resistance, it's obvious from the number of operations that we had today, usually hasbullah statements, excuse me, we have around 12 statements of resistance operations, sometimes five, so the the average of uh operations are usually less than this, now with the fact that you have the israeli forces attempting

country. to give you more insight on that matter, we are now joined by our beirot correspondent mariam salehare with us? well, around an hour ago we heard of sounds of very loud explosions, and there was a very heavy strike on the town of kamati as well as the town of kaifoon, these are towns in the area which is in mount lebanon, it is outside the area which is usually targeted in the southern suburbs of beirot, the moun area was usually in the past uh areas where the displaced seek safe haven, especially from the southern suburbs of beerut, and so you have them basically jam packed with displaced people, especially from the southern suburbs, we know that the result of that shell, that shelling included six marters, including women and children, of course we are still waiting for details to know um exactly how many murders and the injured and so on and what the repercussions and results of that strike are, but this is the latest that we have in the surrounding of the capital beirot, this is in addition to the targeting of the heart of the southern suburbs and what seems to be a systematic d

electricity perhaps or or the airport itself, okay, thank, thank you so much, mariam, that was mariam saleh, our correspondent from beirot, uh, as you heard what she said, the strikes have been relentless against the southern suburbs of beirout, but we do not know if there are any casualties yet, we will have to wait and see. thank you so much for tuning into our live coverage. yes, well, as mariam had has already said, the air strikes targeted apparently gas station uh, in that area in the southern suburb suburb of beirot, and some reports are coming in that also... medical supplies warehouses were also targeted um so we will have to wait and see if there what which sites exactly have been targeted and whether or not we have any casualties due to the relentless strikes. of course this is not the first time that the israeli regime uh strikes southern the southern suburb of beirot, this comes, this is maybe the third uh violent relentless um carpet bombing of the southern suburbs. and the previous two uh we were in the previous two we witnessed the assassination of the secretary general of h

families home. and communities since october 8th. will soon fire rockets and possibly missiles and mariam saleh joins us from beirot to give us her thoughts about when that announcement was was made uh mariam, you had the um israely military spokesperson talking about how there was going to be an imminent attack similar to uh the way that operation alaso flood was executed by the hezbollah fighters uh justifying the attack then that sued following that announcement that it made um one thing that was uh uh pretty interesting was the fact that he admitted to the success of uh the hizbullah in targeting the northern part and of course the uh way that the settlers had to uh be, i guess removed from that area had to remove themselves from that area, but what do you think about that day when uh they made the israel regime made that announcements? was there any validity to it? absolutely not, we know that hazballah if they wanted to, they would have done it after the israelis turned all the galile may be almost into a buffer zone. into a military zone, we know that now also there's many of the settlem

mariam saleh that the resistance does not really depend on individuals, of course there have been so many personalities, individuals, key figures who have been martered, and of course, i think nearly 200 ordinary citizens in lebanon who have been martered since the last two weeks, what this shows is that the ordinary people world, they want dignity, this is the key factor, and i think all the people in lebanon, although as we all know, lebanon is society which is often described as confessional politics, people support their religious identity, and in parliament, the structure has been made in such a way that the speaker is shia, the president is sunni, the prime minister is sunni and the president is christian, when the french left, they left, made that kind of constitution, but the reality is that um hizbullah and the... resistance itself has deep roots in society, again just to sort of refer to your colleague saying that it's so deep rooted because for the last 40 odd years the resistance in lebanon has been doing social work, community work, setting up hospitals and of course aft
