Welcome back, two more lebanese civilians have been killed and two others injured an israeli air strike this time a vehicle in southern lebanon. Recently, these israely regime has intensified its areal rates on residential areas in lebanon. We were now joined by our bayroot correspondent mariam saleh for more details. Mariam, what do you have to share with us on this recent incident . Well, strike a vehicle is uh, part, it seems of series of what could be assassin. Nations, we do not have confirmation or the names of those who were killed in that vehicle uh, but it is pretty close to one of the Palestinian Refugee camps in south lebanon, it is possible that there is a palestinian figure that was in the vehicle, it could also be member of the resistance, and this is one of the the tactics that the israelies have been using since after the assassination of sheikh salahuri, hitting what they are calling a surgical operations or specific operations in certain areas, despite the fact that hisballah has considered this escalation that is not going to be taken lightly, and we saw that these. Are attempting to go forwards in areas that are far away from the border, for example, today the vehicle was struck an area that is between tire and the town of nakura near one of the Palestinian Refugee counts like we said, it is a main road, its a highway that is taken generally by the population in that area, no one has been displaced from that place, so therefore it was very dangerous that they targeted that area, so we have in addition to the fact that they could probably attacking and trying to assassinate figures. The resistance groups, whether the lebanese or the palestinian, you also always have the possibility of Collateral Damage and fact that you have civilians that are falling as a result of this presumptuous actions by the israelis, the israelis have taken things also further yesterday by launching ataps on the town of were talking about the northeastern parts or the eastern parts of lebanon, this is pretty far away, although it is area that is supportive um of the resistance and so therefore this is why they have targeted uh that area, but hezballah did not take this lightly, and we know that they targeted and launched more than 150 rockets towards the golan height, some parts of the galili, and so therefore still trying to maintain the situation, trying to keep it limited in the scope of military for military, despite the fact that the israelies are taking it further to attack civilians. We know now that after the uh the strike against this car uh sirens were sounding in several areas in. The western parts and so that is probably we we have those sirens because hazbillah seems to have launched several rockets, we also know that rockets were fired told the golan heights, that is something that hisbullah has also maintained is part of its scope of operations as well, um, we also know that theres a lot of threats from the israelis, lot of talk that they want to go on with a blow against lebanon, a full scale. War you have elites within the Israeli Regime that are warning of are saying hizballah is not going to surrender, its not the time now for any sort of war against uh hizballah against lebanon while the war in gaza remains and he said very clearly this these elite figures and other political figures also in the Israeli Regime are stressing that we all know that hazballah is not gonna stop until the war on gaza stops and so that shows that theres a lot of huge rift within the israelies themselves on whether they should launch attack. Hisballah seems to have basically avoided that, any sort of threats. They have not marginalized, theyre definitely thinking about it, theyre theyre theyre planning for a possible israeli fullscale war on lebanon. However, now they are dealing with the situation as it is, launching those specific military operations, surgical operations against specific. Targets the israelis all across the and in the golan heights. All right, thanks lot, marining us from the lebanese capital bayroot. Moving a senior israeli official on the condition of anonymity has revealed that the United States is seeking to asked israeli Prime Minister betnyahu in a Statement Issued to the media, the official pointed to new Us Intelligence report, showing growing public distrust in nitao. He interpreted the wordings in the report as an effort to unseat netanyaho. The Intelligence Report for 2024 published on monday warned the viability of the netanyaho capitat saying that it may be in jeopard criticism over its handling of the gaza war. Us intelligence agencies in the report also speculated more rallies demanding netanyahus resignation and snap elections. The Intelligence Report and reaction show growing rift between israel and the us despite washingtons all out support for the regimes genocidal war on the gauza strip. San francisco based political commentator scott bennet says the world is rising up against israel and that netanyahu is being denounced at home and abroad. They just scraped the surface in this report, but essentially theyre saying uh the the world is rising up against israel, the world is and the israelis are rising up against netanyahu, they they see him as responsible for lot of the antagonism, lot of the instability that is uh occurring, and more importantly this threat assessment is is recognizing that uh netanyahu most likely is going to have very difficult time maintaining his political viability uh as the as this conflict continues, because hamas is not going to surrender, they also recognize that iran had nothing to do with and had no. Knowledge of the october 7th attacks which israel uses to justify this genocide, but theyre also a little bit untruthful because. Theyre trying to establish that all of the people in the region see the United States as the best power broker for some sort of a peace deal, i think the majority of the populations of the countries in the region from turkey to jordan uh to to egypt to to iraq, countries that are favorable to the United States, i think theyre increasingly being the United States as not a candidate to to exercise any sort of peace deal broke. Because the United States is backing israel and providing the weapons and the military coordination and the funds for israels genocide.

Anan yes was arrested without charged by the Italian Police on january 29 on an extradition request by the Israeli Regime which Italys Justice Ministry acquised straight away weeks following anans arrest on march 11, hes now being charged with terrorism accused of being part of a terrorist cell that was allegedly planning attacks on israeli civilian and military targets. Italian investigators have used elements provided by tel aviv to charge anan and two other palestinians of allegedly belonging to an operational military structure called the Rapid Response group, which they claim to be linked to the alaxa brigade. There are countries like italy that are totally subservient to the us and its allies. This results in our authorities absurdly arresting anan for being survil to israel, favor done to a prepotent alie. You think the public will ever know about . The details of anans arrest on tuesday, israels extradition request for anan was being examined by a court in lakuila in central italy, where the man was arrested in late january. The court is expected to rule on announce case soon. We have appealed to the court not to extradite anan mainly on two grounds firstly, due to the systematic nature of torture other ill treatment of palestinians convicted. Waiting trial in israeli prisons and would risk being tortured if extradited, secondly, while Israeli Citizens are subject to israeli civil and criminal law, palestinians are subject to a military court system. Ananhs lawyer, flavio albertini also argued that the charges against this client and the other two palestinians were politically motivated, referencing italys Prime Minister georgia melonis stonch.

Lingering armed resistance from hamas for years, im quoting it directly, so and as you see theyre already running short of their soldiers, they have to pass this legislation the other day to recruit alter Orthodox Jews whove always enjoyed exemptions from, doing military service, lets have your take on that, you said tel aviv in speaking of the israeli government, this assessment unfortunately says jerusalem things have changed, the cia used to be lot more objective, let me start with the good news, the good news is that there was no middle east section to the annual threat assessment last year, jacob sullivan, the National Security advisor, pretty much is very smart guy knew what was going to happen, and so he had a 7,000 word essay in Foreign Affairs and it concluded five days before the october seven attacks.
