explain then um who the pflp is, which is the organization that this son has been accused of being a member of. well, the pflp is the popular front for the liberation of palestine, one of three um socialist or marxist groups who are engaged in the resistance in gaza, people of course think it's all hamas, it's not, and pflp of course has an armed wing, the abu ali mustafa brigades uh, which is not illegal in this country, and nor is the pflp, so you can say on television or anywhere else in this country, i support the pfop, but you can't say i support the pfopg, which is an entirely different organization, so there's the there's the the distinction, but look, this is this is one one part of the uh the palestiny resistance factions, in gaza uh and not it's not illegal to be member of that organization, but you know who knows if she is or not, it's obviously smeer intended to remove her uh her possibility of her getting an award, illustrates the desperate lens that they are prepared to go to, they will do anything, they will do anything, yeah they

people that they say they killed, pflp hasn't even been involved in operations, clearly the israeli government feels totally emboldened to just blow up assassinate uh kill uh murder uh uh arabs uh kind of at will and that there's they will they know they're going to still receive the weapon shipments, the free ones, the big you know $8 million dollar eight billion dollar uh shipment that the us announced a couple days ago top of all those other shipments uh and they'll continue for the most part receiving the weapons from european countries and my country canada so israel has just been emboldened, i mean if you look at the rhetoric coming out of the us and canadian officials around uh the... nation of nastrala, it's it's remarkable, the you know they they just destroyed a whole neighborhood, killed how we don't how many they killed and doing so, and it's just like basically applading it um from us and canadian officials, so israel clearly feels emboldened um and it's partly because you know governments in the region, all these arab regimes in the region um have basically uh have hav

now what we have also heard is from the pflp. this is the popular front for the liberation of palestine. one of the militant groups that, that is based in lebanon. they say that three of their members were killed in this area. so potentially that was the target of that particular air strike. but it will put the capitol on edge once again, especially when you can sidner that there are so many people who have moved. and this is civilians that have moved from southern lebanon where the vast majority of these airstrikes were taking place to the capital itself, believing they would be safer in that area. we've heard from the ministry of health 1 million people are believed to be displaced. at this point, you have hundreds of thousands of them going to the capitol itself. so certainly this is going to be a concern. it is a widening of israel's tactics and israel's attacks. now we have also heard that three more senior hezbollah commanders were killed on sunday. this has been israel's strategy all along really fought for many months, bu

secretary general of of of hizbullah, we've seen all of these people, we've seen the commanders now of pflp, some of those being descendants of the initial... akba of 1948 who had fled to lebanon for safety at the time, what we are seeing now and just in the past few hours uh is uh what the israelis are now calling a limited uh military incursion, limited military operation that they're saying into the south of of lebanon, but what we are truly seeing uh in my estimation is designist plan to take over territory uh from lebanon south of the litani river. which some far right uh members of the israeli cabinet believe to be uh their promise land, and so of course we are seeing this escalation, 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 estimat

palestinian resistance, its people's uh backup of the the the the resistance, whether it's hamas or pflp or the islamic jihad also bears testimony to the their strength, the the rise in their strength, because the israelis tried desperately to set segregate the palestinian people from its resistance, that's not happened and that's another failure. for israel and another huge success for the palestine palestinian liberation movement. so you see these failures are what are now defining israel's policy and american policy in that region, the failure of the iron dome, the failure of the idf to to to assert its dominance, the failure of the shock and all tactics which are there to try and scare and fear munger and and uh try to break away the the resolve of uh the the indigenous uh owners of... both labanese land and palestinian land, all of these are failures which are now manifest, and around the world, the failure on the public relation stage is absolutely enormous, i mean even european countries are almost thinking, well why we better go for this two state option and push for palestinian

capital, since the outbreak of the war in gaza last year, at least three senior commanders of the pflp were killed in that air strike on an apartment building in bayrut after midnight. lebanon's health ministry said at least 100 and five people have been killed over the past 24 hours as um israely war plates continue the non-stop bombardment across the country, these are live images that we're getting from beirot, as we we can see thick plooms of smoke arising to the air indicating that these uh israely indiscriminate and incessant bombings uh are continuing as we speak, but the resistance has also been active as well, lebanon's resistance moving. has carried out fresh retaliatory tacks on israeli military positions and settlements in northern occupied palestinian territories, number of israeli settlements also came under hezbollah's rockets as well, while the occupied city of safat was hit with a barrage of rockets, the movement says the attacks were in response to the brutal and deadly israely bombardment of lebanese towns, villages and civilian infrastructure. all right, i'm now bei

jihad are concerned and other resistance forces like the abu ali mustafa brigade is concerned of the pflp, um, they the way they have..." recorded and covered their actions it is we've never seen this before without the coverage of the of the missions that hizbullah has conducted of for hammas and islamic jihad and the other resistance factions have conducted without their coverage we wouldn't have any ammo to show the world we wouldn't have we wouldn't see those footages of brother in flip flops coming out of a tunnel and bombing a merkaver tank, we wouldn't see that, we wouldn't see the resilient lebanese consistently since october the 8th conducting missions and operations on the northern front and how they strategically and systematically were attacking the military. equipment of the zionist, how they were conducting missions of espianage on the the zionist, we wouldn't have known, we wouldn't have seen the hood hood, we wouldn't have seen all of this, and hence the reason why things are now changing is because we see that the opponents of the empire, the opponents of the zinist regim

not been able to finish off the palestinian islamic jihad, they've not been able to dismantle the pflp, so none of the factions, the the fighting factions of the palestinians were were taken out, that was an expressed objective of benjamin, that means it's a failure, he's lost that war and to... cover up that loss and that failure, number one, to his own citizens and to the americans, he has he's resorted of course now to changing his his his attention and moving towards lebanon, partly because he wants to cover up his failures in gaza and he wants the attention to go off gaza so that the world's attention because he failed of course also on in terms of israeli hasbara and the the narratives that they usually control about how they're the victims. about this time around everybody realized the gazies were the victims and the palestinians are just and the israelies are just just crying wolf and i think that became problematic for them as well which also necessitates the move north. the other factor is that of course hezbulah was so effective with its dismantling of the iron dome uh surve

vulnerable in order to defend their nations, we must remember hezballah, amas, islamic jihad, the pflp, the pmus, all these groups are only in existence as a reaction to israeli genocidal attacks and onslaughts against their people, they are, they are called resistance because they are. resistance fighters, they're resisting the western imperialism, which footpint is in israel, it's attack dog is the idf, and what we're witnessing is israel and the idf bombing at will hundreds of people a time, i've just come back from estonia where i hold on estonia, just remember you just came back from estonia buse, mr. patel out of leicester, he's been being. standing by, let me go to him for a couple minutes, i'll come back to you, don't forget you left off with estonia. mr. patel, uh, we've heard entity leaders say we're going to we're highly considering putting a ground forces into lebanon, putting boots into, how do you perceive and israely ground invasion would look into lebanese territory and its ramifications and impacts? look, i think israel is uh... not likely to do that, i could be wrong,

obvious reasons because of being put in a concentration open air, they once the likes of islamic jihad, pflp and hamas did acquire just enough military hardware and knowledge and capability, and don't forget we have to thank general sulaimani." general sulayman, whichever the designation after his passing was given, he got, god give him paradise is the architect of most of those tunnels, the tactics and and the build up of those palestinian resistance fighters, and he made them a strong right hand of essentially the lebanese resistance, because prior to that, only the lebanese resistance was capable of fighting the israelis any capacity in any level and even '11's resistance of course has been trained by the the the alcuds force etc and ows most of its its kind of military prowets to the the knowledge that was given to it and how it built up to to defend it against self self against the israeli terrorism now that said means that they learned lessons that you know if you have two fronts you divide the israeli energy and that's exactly what they did byy immediately opening up a front on the 8t

entire uprising an entire palestinian armed resistance for the first time uh hamas, islamic jihad, the pflp all became came together, all united, they were uh also uniting with an extended access. of resistance which is based all around uh the the middle east now from right stretching from iran through to iraq syria and lebanon and let's not forget the yemen, this is very substantial uh issue and problem for the israelis, so the the short-term solution there would have been again to try and offset a war by coming to the negotiating table and giving something at least, but they're not even willing to come to sease fire table and and act honorably and with integrity and to actually stop the the killing of war, let alone come to this... table and discuss the dismantling of a zionist ethnouh ethno supremacist state which is intent on creating inequality, in creating sort of murderous conditions, in in suppressing, oppressing uh palestinian people whose rights have been taken away, so at no stage has there been good will or good faith on the part of this israeli establishment in doing anything a

now we have heard from a palestinian group, the pflp, the palestine front of for the popular the front for the palace, the liberation of palestine they say that three of their members were killed when an apartment in this area was targeted. so what we're seeing now, of course, is a concern in beirut that the reach of israel is, is reaching further to the senate control areas and bear in mind, you have hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians that are in these areas as well according to relief international, one of the humanitarian aid groups they say about 1 million people are displaced at this point we saw a mass exodus from southern lebanon, where much of the activity has been taking place. many of these israeli air strikes have been targeting coming up to the capitol in the hope that that would be a safer area. michael all right. >> paula hancocks live in abu dhabi. appreciate it. thanks, paula director of the military and security studies program at the washington institute. he joins me now from washington and thanks for doing so. how how does those rallies death along with the

we just saw pflp, people's front in lebanon, and a hamas leader and his family were killed.r the past 24 hours, it looked as though the israelis are certainly not finished and not confining their attacks to hezbollah. ana. >> what kind of retaliation might we see for the killing of nasrallah? >> reporter: well, we heard from the deputy head of hezbollah, the man second in command to hassan nasrallah, he spoke. this is the first time we've heard from any leaders since friday. he said that hezbollah has been holding its kind of main weapons in reserve. at least he implied that. he said they'd been doing the minimum. and he said they are ready for an invasion ground invasion. so we're continuing to see hezbollah firing over into israel. but this is a group that is badly maimed. a very powerful military force, powerful in the world that is very much in the back foot. and their girding for an israeli ground invasion. if there is retaliation it will most likely be defensive and on the ground in their own territory. >> there's so much to track right now, matt bradley, thank you. we

palestine, a palestinian faction says if three of their members we're killed now it's significant that the pflp really hasn't been very active in this war, certainly from lebanon, but nonetheless, plus israel took those men out in the early hours of the morning. what is also significant about this strike is it? first time since hostilities ramped up that there has been a strike outside the southern suburbs of beirut where hezbollah has a large presence so what we also heard in within the last two hours, he was from naim qassem, who's the one of the senior debt happy pds of hassan nasrallah, who gave what appears to have been a recorded speech in which he didn't seem to be indicating any willingness of his bola to cease fire to agree to a ceasefire. he said that as far as the organization goes, despite repeated body blows of course, the killing of the leader of the group. he said, we did not collapse. we are going on despite the pain and sacrifices. he said hezbollah will continue confronting israel in support of the palestinian people, gaza and the people of lebanon. so no indication from his b

now, it's interesting that the pflp has not been particularly active in recent years, and it appearsrael is simply slowly, slowly eliminating its enemies beyond his butler, beyond those factions who have been firing into israel. and then impacted this building behind me, it looks like it's structurally unstable. we see one of the columns sticking out. now in the meantime, at midday local time, just about an hour-and-a-half ago, naim qassem, who's the one of the senior deputies of hassan nasrallah, came now, and gave a recorded speech. we believe for just about 25 minutes long. he did say that as regarding hezbollah, we did not collapse we are own nate where going on despite the pain and sacrifices, he said that hezbollah will continue to confront israel port the palestinians and gaza and her lebanese people. so the message seems to be from his butler that despite these repeated body blows the elimination of almost the entire military hierarchy, senior hierarchy within the origin station they are, the least, they say they're going to continue now above me right now we hear a very low

they don't understand what a hamas or islamic jihad or pflp or the houthi rebels or any of those groupsvery day. and they had the opportunity , i guarantee you, opportunity, i guarantee you, they would have destroyed israel and they wouldn't have spared a single civilian. we saw that on october 7. so in israel, the international outcry is being seen as hypocritical because it's only directed at israel's enemies. the passion or the compassion. rather, for civilians is only on the other side of the border. it's never inside israel. and no, they won't be listening to the ngos of the international system. >> thank you very much indeed for the update. we appreciate it. we've got to leave it there. apologies for the sound quality on that interview. here are some other stories that are coming into the newsroom on this monday morning. britain's biggest steelworks is ending production today after 100 years. >> blast furnace four is the final furnace operating at tata steel's plant in port talbot. from today it will be shut down, putting thousands out of work across south wales. >> sir oliver dow
