W welcome to our studios in the capital tehran. This is press tv news. Its good to have you with us. Israeli regime keeps pounding the gaza strip following largescale operations by Palestinian Resistance fighters in the occupied territories. Explosions of rock to gaza, one day after Palestinian Resistance group hamas launched a surprise attack against israel by land, air and sea. Over 300 palestinians have been killed and nearly 20. So far. Hamas meanwile says it has fired large numbers of artillery shells and guided missiles at israeli positions in border areas. Hamas says it launched the unprecedented operation response to the desiquation of the alas samask and occupied as well as israeli atrocities against palestinians over the decades. So far the operations have left 350 israelis dead and 1500 others injured. The situation is also volatile north of the occupied territories. Lebanese Resistance Movement hezbollah fired dozens of rockets and shells in israeli positions and occupied shiba farms. Hezbollah says the attack was launched in solidarity with palestinian people. Rocket fire from gaza, palestinian fighters carrying out an unprecedented offensive with thousands of rockets. Sirens sounding across israel, including tel aviv and alqs. Israel is being attacked ferociously. This was by far the biggest operation by resistance groups against israel in decades. These are the scenes of benkorian airport, maybe this statement paints a clear picture of what has happened. We decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation. Their time for rampaging without being held accountable is over. We announced operation. The flood and we fired in the first strike of 20 minutes, more than 5,00 rockets. That was the announcement by the ezedden alqassam brigades, the military wing of the hamas resistance group. Armed clashes along the separation fence with israel near the southern town of hannus were reported to take place, fighters seen here breaking to the fence. The mood however was different, here where the head of hamass political bureaus. Celebrating the operation carried out not only by hamas fighters, but by all the resistance fighters in the gaza strip. Such was the case at the jennian refugee camp. In israel has declared a state of war alert, striking back, setting the stage for new heavy war. Fighters are seen here inside an Israeli Military camp which shows the shock surprise of israeli army. Here hamas fighters are seen with a captured Israeli Military vehicle. This is a large operation including all Palestinian Resistance groups in the ghaza strip and the occupied west bank, namely hamas, pflp, the aziddin algasam brigades and the Islamic Jihad movements and the occupied west bank. The lions den is also active. Israeli towns are on fire like rohavat in southern israel and ashkalon seen of here, burning after resistance rockets landed there. So dire of the situation, israelis were forced to hide in trash bins. Meanwhile palestinians in the gaza strip are looking for cover while sounding defiant when it comes to Israeli Regime forces. طلعنا من الدار وقايه بس وقايه من صواريف اليهود وان شاء الله ربنا بينصرنا عليهم عزابون كثير وان شاء الله الدور عليهم ان شاء الله دائره السوق عليهم ان شاء الله باذن الله war between gaza and israel is not just limited to the gaza strip, since the resistance group, the lions den is also operating out of the jendane refugee camp. This war has been the result of decades of negligence by the socalled International Community, which as a result, israel has gotten away with the murder of palestinians with the support of its biggest allie, the us. Israel is finding itself on shaky grounds, even though it has. Mobilized reservists or shortages since reservist along with pilots have refused to take orders due to its socalled judicial reforms, which is why this announcement by netanyahu may fall on def years, our enemy will pay a price, the type of which it has never known, that was a statement from netanyahu. The surprise offensive that palestinian fighters executed against Israeli Regime, is natural outcome of what israel has done with palestinians over the decades. As summed it up best, this was decisive response to israels continued occupation, however hezbollah also added this to its statement, this is message to those seeking normalization with israel, a clear reference to saudi arabia, which is said to be in talks with israel for quote normalization, ever since this extreme cabinet came into power, it is violated palestinians a daily basis. Not that previous israeli officials did not do that. But this cabinet has done it at warp speed, which puts into question why saudi arabia would be interested in pursuing a quote normalization . Any normalization with israel would be a stab in the back of palestinians. Just the other day, israel announced that it will legitimize the killing of palestinian citizens in new open fire rules. It said the new measure seeks to allow officers to use life fire against palestinian protesters. Alassa violations. Israeli incursions, injuring and killing palestinians, all of this in the face of the silence by the International Community. How much longer could palestinians endure this . Were going to refer now to incident that happened earlier today, um, of which uh, it covers the. Area of uh whats called the shabal farms, this is in southern lebanon, thats the Vantage Point uh that was there at that point, and what were going to see now is how uh this area was targeted by uh missiles that were fired uh from uh from hezbollah, guess youre seeing some of the mood thats out there uh earlier in the day uh before the posts were targeted uh from what we understand uh there were three israels that were targeted. Based on some missile fire of which you can see that top of that hilltop uh there of which hezbollah made sure that it was targeted, not only was this uh done because of rocket fire uh but and the battalite retaliation from it, but also for his will to say that were here uh in solidarity with the palestinians and the palestinian fighters, so these are earlier scenes that happened in shaba farms in southern lebanon, to get more of any. Idea of what happened there and perhaps Additional Details uh of course mother mariam sala joins us now uh who is in southern lebanon to tell us more about it tell us exactly what happened . Well the people of lebanon woke up this morning of course uh listening to the news that we learned that pezbolahs resistance and this was a surprise also to the lebaneses and the the israelis that these Islamic Resistance law the main military posts of the israelis in the area of the shabal farms and as you know the shabat farms is considered by lebanese an occupied land, occupied land by the israelies, the israelis of course took that land uh back in 1967, it was something that was different than other land that they had taken in 1978, 1982, so that land is considered some. In the International Community as disputed as a land that could be syrian, not uh or or palestinian and that they would attempt to see that there would be negotiations and so on, however, hezballahs resisted, pas stressed over and over that as long as government, they will had very few operations because of the status quro because of the fact that lebanon is of course its its in light of the continuous political disputes on the inside of. And on so they kept a um they kept a low profile, however recently hazbullah um actually put two tents in the area of the. Of our farms and this is something that has led to rage within the israelis, they have called the united states, they have brought envoys and so on and so forth, only trying to remove those two tents that are for the resistance that had led to some tension, now with whats happening inside palestine, time to send very, this is just one operation, it seems that we learned the israelis retaliate also in the area of shabal farms with no uh human casualties at all, they have informed the unifill that they would stop at that, the israelis have informed the unifill that they would stop at that, that for them is something more than they can handle, since if they want to bring more reinforcement into um northern occupied palestine, this would be detrimental for them, especially in the time when they need more assistance, more backing in the in of south occupied palestine near gaza, so the israelis are really in a dylemma, but this is also a message not only to the israelis, but also to the backwards of the israelis that they will be supporting the Palestinian Resistance, and they will be, any time, if the israelies try to take on certain actions, whether against alsamas or in alqs or even perhaps a massive war against gaza, that they would probably be ready to support, its not just issue of an operation in the shabat farms, is i think more uh politically important. Now i want to just give you few understanding of what we where we are standing right now, we im standing in the area of ramia, this is one of the points where you have where we have a border area here, you can see how the israelis have built this wall along with the technical fence of course uh several years back and didnt have this wall, so the israelis are attempting to build a wall all along the border uh with lebanon, of course you can also see that there is uh some blue po points that is considered line, which is considered the line of withdrawal, when the israelies would do in 2000, of course they continued to be the fact that lebanon considers it has more land inside that area, however they what they did was draw a line of what they called the line of of withdrawal, and even considered lebanese, beyond this wall we have the village of tarbikha which is considered lebanese land as well. But it it is something that perhaps the resistance is leaving aside for now until the government goes diplomatically to try to resolve it. Of course you have other issues that are very significant uh with when it comes to the resistance uh factions you have the fact that the resistance blocks have all declared that they will be supported of the Palestinian Resistance look at whats happening with the Palestinian Resistance they have we have so far uh if if look at whats happening inside palestine, we have so far, basically uh, we have lost maria, unfortunately there, she was giving us some explanation behind what uh has happened uh at the shabat farms earlier today and lot more as usual with and customary with mariam where she uh throws in also indepth analysis into the picture. So um this uh gives you an ideas to uh the points of interest that we figure we want to bring to you uh earlier today in shabo farms and also ashkalon the gaza border on saturday in case you missed what occurred there and of course gaza city right now as we speak um it may look like nothings happening but uh the gaza strip is being uh attacked by Israeli Forces uh we have had increase in terms of uh the number of uh palestinians that have been murdered by the israeli uh aerial raise, i believe its up to around 300. I have to check the figure to give you an ac accurate uh number here uh which are correspondent ash shanan um has given that to us uh just about half hour ago based on what he sent to us um let me see what we can get on that uh if i can bring that up based on uh the number that he has given. 330 uh to have been uh murdered, injuries are up to almost 2,1990, it seems like on the israeli side theres 300 israelis that have been uh um killed by the um onslot of the resistance fighters and in terms of the number of injuries they have sustained is roughly around 1700, so there you have the latest thats come through uh in terms of one of the major incident. Israel firing barrages of artillery into southern lebanon and firing shells and guided missiles back at israel, as we try to get mariam back, im wondering if we have with us, perhaps not, all right, before we get our guests in, lets listen to what palestinians in the ghaza strip have had to say about what has happened, regarding the the onslot, they probably target civilians more than politicians in order to pressure us to give up, but we told them that we will. Not give up and we are here to stay, this is our land and we will not abandon our land. To me, this is destruction and arrogance by the enemy, the enemy wants destruction, bombing and killing civilians, the Palestinian Resistance groups, top of them them brigades have gone down in history for their heroic actions this morning, history will remember them as heroes who carried the. Weapons in the face of the Israeli Occupation for the sake of liberation, we breach the borders every time israel assassinates our leaders, the resistance retaliates, but today we started the fight for the sake of alquds, today we defeated one of the worlds power for armies, this is the biggest achievement in the history of the arab world, we distributed sweets, today is my first time witnessing Something Like this, they restored palestinian dignity, arased palestinian expectation. The resistance drag two Israeli Military giips into ghaza. Palestinians are telling the whole world that we can restore arab dignity. Early this morning we woke up to the sounds of the barages. We weren able to understand what was going on. Eventually we found that the Palestinian Resistance was making history in the 1948 occupied lands. There were no israelis to fight back, but the israeli war planes open fire. Expected Something Like this this morning the Palestinian Resistance launched an operation. We expect that there will be injured and marters, and we are ready for that. Its all for the sake of alts, theres nothing called israel, its our country and our land, and we will teach this to our children. All right, you heard. The palestinians there, obviously theyre relaying uh what seems to be the case with them that uh as bad as they could be risking their lives or their lives could be at risk because of uh what has happened, but theyre willing uh for that to happen because they have been uh not only under seas for so long, but also the fact that they want to be liberated, they dont want to live under the circumstances that they have been living in, especially the ones that you just listen to who have been under seige for 16 years. Uh, lets bring in our guest. And uh see what uh she thinks uhdan is a political analyst so joins us from occupied ramaladan welcome to the program you know when you take a look at this operation thats a little over a day old uh at this point we can see that israel is on the back foot even uh after the 20 more than 24 hours to have transpired uh first of all what do you think about the what that really means that you find israel in such a weak footing uh militarily speaking because its not it has not been able to be top of the situation and control the situation, even as we speak, there are certain settlements and locations where israel has not been able to take back from the palestinian fighters, well in short we can see that this is like a scenario that can be implemented the final you know final war with the israel. The colonialism of palestine, this is victory, this is victory at all levels, if we if we want to talk about military victory, if we want to talk about a Strategic Planning of this operation, if you want to talk about intelligence that the resistance has, we can see it as a mini war of whats to come later. On at the specific time, the Palestinian Resistance is part of the access of resistance actually, and this operation is being planned strategically with the cooperation of the access of resistance, its not isolated, we not isolated as Palestinian Resistance from the rest of the Resistance Movement in the area. South, lebanon, syria, iraq, iran, yemen, all this access of resistance are cooperating and coordinating together. This was huge hit for the arrogance the israelis, especially netanyahu and his savage and barbaric and nazi government, who have done everything they could to humiliate and disregard and disrespect to the palestinians as human beings, they did not. Even respect the the spiritual and religious feelings of the palestinians and they they have been warned time and time over, not to accelerate certain limits when it comes to jerusalem, capital, our political, national, historic capital, and with its religious shrines, it has a certain symbolic consideration, not for palestinians, but for the whole world, the muslims, christians and even jewish believers, real and true jewish believers, so when when they started to cross the red lines, regarding stealing our land, building new settlements, unleashing the settlers, the zilass and racist zionists. Settlers who are doing whatever they can to make our lives miserable in the west bank and jerusalem, all these has accumulated and it reached a point where the resistance couldnt stay silent because the people are asking the resistance to act, although we have resistance in the in different locations of the west bank in tulkarim, kalkela, naplus, balata, that lahim hebron, even ramala and the surrounding villages of ramala and albere, so it has come to point where we have to make history and we have to teach this arrogant, colonial and settler entity that its over and no turning back, this is a Historic Movement, moment, sorry, and this Historic Movement is going to teach the arrogant netanyahu being ver and smortish that the game is over, its not their playground, historic palestine belongs to the palestinians and they cannot do anything to change the facts on the ground. Two Million People in gaza strips in gaza strip has been. Cleansed ethnically cleansed from their villages which is now called israeli setlements or israeli kiputs and towns, these settlements that are only few kilometers two or four kilometers like yaari kiput which is to the west of the negab desert, its close to the. The borders, the southern borders of the strip, of gaza strip, and two Million People living an area of 365 square kilometers, while in this kiputs, theres only 700 People Living there, they live and they nourish at the expense of the palestinians, would the palestinians agree to this . We saw yesterday, yesterday even civilians gazans went and infiltrated through the the fence, themselves, they took israelis as hostages, so the the game and the equation, the whole equation has changed, especially now that the israelis are facing lots of internal problem and major and strategic set back, they have two camps that are fighting for what they think is the core the existence of this entity, so in the the h yesterday had proven to them that their military establishment, security establishment, economic, political is been shaked, its been shaked by the Palestinian Resistance, they couldnt see it. Before because they were blind, everybody has his own agenda as persons, Like Netanyahu is fighting for his own life, he doesnt want to go to prison, and smart. And being who are naive enough to think that they can they can change the equation the whole whole of palestine and the whole region, theyre only amateurs, they dont know anything about the politics of this, the geopolitics of this area and the politics of palestine, they have no experience with the palestinian people, they think. Might can defeat right, well they have been proven wrong, might is not always bringing right, but the Palestinian Resistance now with their new tactics with their advance advancing military and intelligence capabilities proven to the israelis and to the whole world that its not going to be the same, there is no turning point now that we have regained our land from israeli settlements and settlers and we have we have forced these settlers to leave, and now the the israelis are evacuating 50,000 people from the gazza settlements, because they think that its not safe for them. But guess what even if they go to tel aviv area, tel avib area is underhit, if they decide to go to the jerusalem area or to any other area, its under the reach of the rockets, of the Palestinian Resistance rockets, so now the israelis are in a very bad shape, what they do, they strike gaza, they destroy high rising buildings like palestine and wattan towers, they think that by inflecting more and more victims, palestinian civillions victims, they can change the equation, but unfortunately for them, as i said, game is over, everything has changed, we know who are who is our enemy, our enemy is the usa and its allies and the the colonial israeli settlement as a military base for a global imperialism, these are our enemies and nothing can change this fact, and all their you know many players in the area like turkey and the arab states who had struck deals of um, thank you, thank you, thank you for that, we do appreciate it, thats analyst talking to us there from occupied ramala, were going to return back to our correspondent mariam salas in southern lebanon, we got cut off from her in order for her to continue her coverage as to what transpired there um just uh within the past hour or so mariam if youre with us why dont you continue where you left off yes well we were saying we were talking about the border uh here in on this is the southern border and as you can see behind me there is a long wall that has been built that is being built by the israelis for several years now uh of course this was uh right behind me was one of the scenes where there was harsh clashes, very fears clashes between hazballahs resistance and the israeli army back in 2006 and that war in itself that 33day war for these is considered very historic transformation uh which proved since there was a certain status quote from the time of liberation of the year 2000 and we can see also the blue lines which prove that we have a withdrawal line and not an official border but we do have official borders with occupied palestine that is what the lebanese government and the resistance continue to stress that the walls that the israelis are building are not the official uh border at all the israelis are doing this to try to protect themselves uh since they understand that now um is the time when they are the ones who are living and protecting themselves behind. The walls before, back in 1978 and 1982 the israelis continued invasions against lebanon, of course they were faced with continuous resistance and a war of retrition, which led to the liberation of 2000, and also after that we had the 2006 war, which proved that the israeli army in itself is invincible, as we heard from hazballahs leaders throughout that time,
