[00:02:42] Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire.

[00:03:07] drones areas in southern Lebanon and the expansion of new
[00:03:09] experimental areas, and the resolution of a number of outstanding border

[00:03:26] continuous attacks from Rome after the two sides continued discussions in the past hours about the agreement
[00:03:30] concluded on June 26th of last year in an attempt
[00:03:35] of governorates in the West Bank. to push for the implementation of the agreement amidst a focus on the field
[00:03:37] always subjected to this and security files between the two sides. The meetings
[00:03:40] discussed the mechanisms for the gradual Israeli withdrawal
[00:03:44] the Gaza Strip,
[00:03:45] experimental areas, it is, of course, from areas in southern Lebanon in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese Army
[00:03:48] there, as well as the expansion of new experimental
[00:03:52] especially since statements from areas. The mechanisms for implementing the agreement, monitoring arrangements,
[00:03:56] and the resolution of a number of outstanding border issues
[00:04:00] were also discussed. US State Department spokesman
[00:04:03] Tommy Pigott said that Washington supports both governments
[00:04:07] in moving forward with this agreement to ensure
[00:04:10] the achievement of sustainable security
[00:04:12] because of everything that happened for both countries. The pace of violence has significantly
[00:04:15] decreased in southern Lebanon, but Israel
[00:04:18] reiterates its determination to keep its forces in southern
[00:04:21] Lebanon within a security zone along
[00:04:25] its borders, with a depth of up to 10 kilometers.
[00:04:28] It also continues to carry out massive demolition and explosive
[00:04:32] operations. Mediators hope that this round will lead
[00:04:35] to practical understandings that will pave the way for a new
[00:04:39] phase of implementing this
[00:04:40] in the face of days heavier agreement and the ability of both parties to overcome
[00:04:43] security and political
[00:04:47] differences between the two countries.
[00:04:50] To talk more about the developments in Lebanon, our correspondent
[00:04:53] May Farhat joins us from Beirut. Welcome,
[00:04:57] May. The Israeli army
[00:04:59] turning mere survival announces the killing of two soldiers and the injury of others, and accuses Hezbollah
[00:05:02] of violating the ceasefire and responds
[00:05:06] with an attack on a number of areas in southern Lebanon. What are the conditions
[00:05:10] on the ground in light of this tension and escalation of
[00:05:13] military operations?
[00:05:17] Good morning, Issa.
[00:05:20] escalation, the Tyre district experienced a significant
[00:05:24] and intense escalation from the early hours of yesterday evening until
[00:05:27] dawn today. The Israeli forces
[00:05:30] launched a number
[00:05:33] Mansoura area, which had warned families
[00:05:37] yesterday afternoon of the need
[00:05:40] to evacuate.
[00:05:43] of raids were launched, while the Burj Al-Shamali area
[00:05:48] of raids, in addition to the Majdal Zoun area.
[00:05:52] These raids resulted
[00:05:55] of injuries, who were transferred to
[00:05:59] Tyre hospitals for treatment, while
[00:06:02] ambulance teams and the Lebanese army
[00:06:05] also entered these areas
[00:06:09] injuries caused by these raids.
[00:06:13] Up to this hour, Issa, there
[00:06:16] are also continuous Israeli attacks, and although
[00:06:20] the pace of raids has decreased, explosions continue.
[00:06:23] A few minutes ago, there were reports of violent explosions in
[00:06:27] Zoutar Sharqiya, which is the area immediately adjacent
[00:06:31] to the Zoutar Gharbiya area, from which the Israelis
[00:06:34] withdrew and the Lebanese army entered.
[00:06:36] And there was also,
[00:06:40] I mean, continuous artillery shelling that stopped at the
[00:06:44] Mansoura area. To clarify, Issa, yesterday,
[00:06:46] the Israeli army had requested
[00:06:50] that this area be evacuated, a sudden warning
[00:06:54] that was,
[00:06:56] I mean, shocking to Lebanese
[00:06:59] political and popular circles, especially because, first,
[00:07:02] it came at the same
[00:07:05] time as the seventh round
[00:07:08] of direct negotiations was being held, and second, it was the first
[00:07:12] of its kind since the signing of the agreement between Lebanon
[00:07:16] and Israel. Therefore, the Israeli army ordered the evacuation,
[00:07:19] and indeed, a number of families were
[00:07:24] the area, and it was only a matter of minutes
[00:07:28] before a wave of raids began on this area. The Mansoura
[00:07:31] area is located directly below the Majdal
[00:07:35] Zoun area. Majdal Zoun is the area where
[00:07:38] the Israeli army suffered
[00:07:41] a major loss. It was an improvised explosive
[00:07:45] device that exploded violently and entered a building,
[00:07:48] according to information, in the Majdal Zoun area.
[00:07:52] A major officer and a sergeant
[00:07:56] were killed, while Israeli
[00:07:59] media describe the condition of the four
[00:08:02] injured soldiers as serious and that it
[00:08:05] is deteriorating after these
[00:08:08] reports reached Beirut. After this incident
[00:08:11] in southern Lebanon, the Israeli army ordered the area
[00:08:15] located below Majdal Zoun to be evacuated.
[00:08:19] Consequently, Mansouri and Majdal Zoun were subjected
[00:08:22] to raids and are being subjected to artillery shelling.
[00:08:26] This is an escalation,
[00:08:29] yes, but we must point out that those two areas
[00:08:33] were subjected throughout the ceasefire period to
[00:08:39] the Israeli side. If they were not in the form of raids, they were always
[00:08:43] in the form of artillery shelling and demolition operations,
[00:08:46] and they were
[00:08:50] type of attack. This serious escalation had called for,
[00:08:53] as I mentioned,
[00:08:56] it came during
[00:09:00] the second day of the direct negotiations
[00:09:04] between Lebanon and Israel. According to
[00:09:06] information, the American side requested the suspension
[00:09:10] of negotiations, and indeed, the second day ended before
[00:09:14] the scheduled end of this
[00:09:17] round. The American side requested the suspension
[00:09:20] of these negotiations until it could make the necessary
[00:09:23] calls, and indeed, the second day of negotiations
[00:09:27] in the capital stopped. Yes, the American mediator
[00:09:30] also, who requested the suspension of negotiations, described
[00:09:33] them as positive negotiations,
[00:09:36] which provides an opportunity for a third day that
[00:09:40] may bring positive results. What are the signals coming from
[00:09:44] Rome regarding these negotiations, and are we facing
[00:09:48] a new stage in which diplomacy will play
[00:09:51] a larger role?
[00:09:56] Indeed, Issa, we are facing a new date for the third
[00:09:59] day. The negotiations were originally scheduled to be held over
[00:10:03] three days. Today is the last day of
[00:10:07] these negotiations, and up to this hour, we will have a new
[00:10:11] round on its third day,
[00:10:14] and therefore, the data that had
[00:10:17] reached Beirut was, quoting sources close to Lebanese
[00:10:21] President Joseph Aoun, that had indicated earlier
[00:10:25] for this escalation that the atmosphere was positive
[00:10:28] and more comfortable than the first
[00:10:32] day, which was described as tense.
[00:10:35] Therefore, presidential sources had indicated
[00:10:39] that there were positive breakthroughs, but in some
[00:10:42] files and not all files. The biggest positive
[00:10:45] breakthrough, according to information,
[00:10:49] is in the land border demarcation file,
[00:10:52] because for the first time, the Israelis
[00:10:55] have retreated from their intransigence, and they always refused
[00:10:59] to have consultations regarding the land border
[00:11:03] demarcation file between them
[00:11:06] delegations exploited this retreat
[00:11:09] and made positive progress regarding
[00:11:12] the land border demarcation file between
[00:11:16] Lebanon and Israel, especially since Israel
[00:11:19] today occupies about 6% of Lebanon's
[00:11:22] area to the south. Therefore, there were
[00:11:25] already, before this war, outstanding points between Lebanon
[00:11:29] and Israel that were disputed, and Lebanon is demanding
[00:11:33] them. There are 13 points extending from Ras
[00:11:35] Naqoura to Wazzani along the border
[00:11:39] strip. This is in the land
[00:11:42] border demarcation file. The other positive issue that the sources
[00:11:46] talked about is regarding who is the monitoring
[00:11:49] body, the monitoring mechanism, meaning who
[00:11:52] will monitor the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon
[00:11:56] and the entry of the Lebanese army into
[00:11:59] these areas, knowing also that the sources had indicated
[00:12:03] that it will not be the United States of America. Some
[00:12:06] information indicates that it could be the Italian
[00:12:10] forces and that Italy, which is hosting these
[00:12:13] negotiations, will intervene
[00:12:17] file, knowing that the Israelis still refuse
[00:12:20] for UNIFIL forces to have any role in
[00:12:25] On the other hand, regarding the experimental
[00:12:29] areas, Lebanon had
[00:12:32] offered on the negotiation table two large
[00:12:35] areas, which are the Khiam area and the
[00:12:38] Ta'jbil area. So far, there is no Israeli answer regarding
[00:12:42] these experimental areas. However, presidential
[00:12:45] sources also confirmed that the Lebanese delegations
[00:12:49] have a Plan B or another plan
[00:12:52] in case Israel refuses those
[00:12:56] two areas. Finally, let me point out, Issa, that
[00:12:59] the biggest file, of course, that the Lebanese delegation presented to
[00:13:03] the Israelis is its demand to establish a ceasefire
[00:13:07] and set a timetable for it. It demanded
[00:13:11] eight weeks to establish a ceasefire
[00:13:14] and full commitment from
[00:13:18] The Lebanese delegation, according to information, asked
[00:13:21] the Israeli delegations to return to the political level with this request
[00:13:25] and respond with a positive response
[00:13:29] to the Lebanese delegation. These are the files that will be completed
[00:13:32] today on the last day of negotiations. Yes,
[00:13:35] regarding the experimental areas file, you mentioned that
[00:13:39] the Lebanese delegation proposed two new experimental
[00:13:42] areas. We are talking about the reality of those
[00:13:45] experimental areas that have started to be worked
[00:13:50] in the experimental areas that have perhaps completed
[00:13:53] about a month now, and what is the situation
[00:13:56] in the existing experimental areas so that new
[00:13:59] experimental areas can be found?
[00:14:04] When we say, Issa, that Lebanon is requesting new
[00:14:10] to pressure the Israeli side to achieve a greater
[00:14:13] withdrawal from southern Lebanon,
[00:14:17] the Israeli side always talk about,
[00:14:21] I mean, statements talk about that there
[00:14:24] will be no Israeli withdrawal. Therefore, the only
[00:14:27] real withdrawal that has happened is only from western Zawtar,
[00:14:31] knowing that the Lebanese army had entered other areas
[00:14:35] such as Fron, Ghandourieh, and Sarifa, but these
[00:14:38] areas were not under Israeli occupation. Therefore, the only
[00:14:42] occupation that existed was in western Zawtar.
[00:14:44] Lebanon succeeded in liberating western Zawtar, but the situation
[00:14:48] on the ground is complicated. Why? Because western Zawtar
[00:14:52] is located a few meters from eastern Zawtar, which is
[00:14:55] still occupied. On the ground,
[00:14:59] one can see with their own eyes
[00:15:02] that the Israelis are present in eastern Zawtar,
[00:15:05] carrying out explosions in eastern Zawtar, and this is what happened
[00:15:09] this morning. Therefore, this causes great concern for the Lebanese
[00:15:12] army present in western Zawtar, and also for the residents
[00:15:16] who had tried to return to western Zawtar. On the other
[00:15:19] hand, we must point out that the Lebanese army itself has
[00:15:22] been subjected to attacks.
[00:15:26] Yes, Issa, families have returned,
[00:15:28] but
[00:15:31] families have returned, but in very, very small numbers,
[00:15:35] because it is heavily damaged. I even saw some
[00:15:39] neighborhoods leveled to the ground, and therefore, there
[00:15:42] are no basic necessities of life in this village,
[00:15:46] no electricity, no water. However, some
[00:15:50] families found one room in their homes,
[00:15:53] cleaned it, and insisted on staying, while
[00:15:56] the Lebanese army and civil defense teams
[00:15:59] are helping those families by providing,
[00:16:03] I mean, electricity for them sometimes, water
[00:16:08] helping them to stay in western Zawtar.
[00:16:11] But today, with the Israeli escalation,
[00:16:14] the atmosphere remains tense, and the security concern
[00:16:18] remains a major obstacle to the return of residents.
[00:16:21] Yes, in light of these rapidly escalating military
[00:16:25] and political events, as we witness negotiations in Rome,
[00:16:29] what are Hezbollah's reactions to the
[00:16:31] attacks and what the Israeli side described as a violation of
[00:16:35] the ceasefire?
[00:16:40] So far, Hezbollah has not claimed any military
[00:16:44] operation. I mean, this
[00:16:46] accusation made by the Israelis
[00:16:49] against Hezbollah is, of course,
[00:16:53] is possible that it is not true. It was an improvised explosive device,
[00:16:57] and according to the data, this device may
[00:17:00] have been there for some time and was not planted
[00:17:03] recently, especially since Majdal Zoun had an Israeli
[00:17:07] presence, meaning they would enter and exit
[00:17:10] it. Therefore, it is possible that this
[00:17:14] improvised explosive device was there for a long
[00:17:17] time and was not planted recently. This is from one
[00:17:21] side. From another side, Hezbollah has not claimed any military
[00:17:25] operation so far, and it
[00:17:30] any action on this matter, knowing that Hezbollah's
[00:17:33] military media reports news from Israeli
[00:17:37] media regarding this incident,
[00:17:40] but it has not claimed anything so far. The last
[00:17:44] statement from Hezbollah was
[00:17:47] a quote from a speech by the Secretary-General of the party, Sheikh
[00:17:50] Naim Qassem, who reiterated his accusation that the Lebanese
[00:17:53] authority provides assistance to Israel instead of providing assistance to Lebanon,
[00:17:57] and he also accused the Lebanese authority of providing,
[00:18:00] again, I mean, it is not new, but he reiterates
[00:18:04] his accusation that the Lebanese authority provides free
[00:18:07] concessions to the United States of America and to Israel,
[00:18:13] this framework agreement between the Lebanese state
[00:18:16] and Israel, and he always calls on it to retract
[00:18:20] from this diplomatic path that the Lebanese state has taken
[00:18:23] and insists on. Yes, May Farhat, you were with us from the Lebanese
[00:18:27] capital, Beirut. Thank you very much.
[00:18:31] The foreign ministers of Arab and Islamic countries condemned
[00:18:35] Israeli practices in Jerusalem and the West
[00:18:40] territories, during talks held in the Jordanian capital,
[00:18:43] Amman, while the United Nations warned of the unsafe
[00:18:46] situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Israeli
[00:18:49] occupation forces arrested dozens of Palestinians during
[00:18:53] a raid and storming campaign they carried out in a number
[00:19:12] When schools are shelled, not only buildings fall,
[00:19:15] but also lessons, dreams, and a generation that was waiting to write
[00:19:19] tomorrow. Here in
[00:19:22] the war does not stop at the limits of buildings,
[00:19:25] but extends to memory and to school desks
[00:19:28] that were once witnesses to the sounds
[00:19:32] of children, and now they are
[00:19:35] witnesses to this rubble.
[00:19:40] One school after another goes out of service, not
[00:19:43] because its mission has ended, but because the Israeli
[00:19:46] occupation's fire has reached the beacons of knowledge in
[00:19:50] the Gaza Strip, leaving school desks empty
[00:19:53] and bags scattered among the dust,
[00:19:56] as if they are telling
[00:19:59] the story of a generation that found itself chasing
[00:20:02] survival after it was chasing knowledge
[00:20:05] and education. And it is not only education
[00:20:09] that pays the price, for the tragedy is expanding,
[00:20:13] and the pain is doubling, and people there stand
[00:20:18] than endurance. One is looking for
[00:20:21] shelter, another is looking for his daily
[00:20:24] bread, and a sick person is waiting for medicine
[00:20:28] that may never arrive. Meanwhile, the other necessities
[00:20:31] of life are eroding under the weight of war,
[00:20:36] into an endless battle.
[00:20:39] If Gaza is bleeding under the weight of bombardment, then
[00:20:43] the West Bank faces another equally complex reality:
[00:20:47] continuous arrest campaigns
[00:20:52] incursions, and expanding settlements,
[00:20:55] and camps that Palestinians fear
[00:20:58] will turn into settlement outposts, like
[00:21:01] what is happening in the camps of Tulkarm, Jenin, and Nur
[00:21:06] north,
[00:21:09] does not stop at humans alone, but
[00:21:12] extends to the necessities of life. In eastern
[00:21:15] Tubas, settlers attacked a water pipeline
[00:21:18] that feeds 12 Palestinian
[00:21:21] families in a scene that encapsulates
[00:21:24] a suffering that goes beyond confrontations to
[00:21:27] targeting sources of livelihood, where
[00:21:30] water, like land, becomes another title
[00:21:34] of the conflict. Between Gaza, which seeks
[00:21:37] life, and the occupied West Bank, which faces
[00:21:41] the occupation and settlers, peace remains the absent
[00:21:45] awaited one, and the title remains
[00:21:49] one: continuous human suffering
[00:21:51] and a long wait
[00:21:54] for a horizon that restores schools to their
[00:21:57] doors, homes to their residents, and children
[00:22:00] their right to grow up away
[00:22:04] from war
[00:22:04] and fear.
[00:22:11] on both the Ukrainian and Russian sides, and others were injured,
[00:22:16] on the infrastructure of both parties. Both Kyiv
[00:22:20] and Moscow are using drones and ballistic missiles
[00:22:23] in their recent attacks, with the political solution remaining
[00:22:26] deadlocked.
[00:22:30] The war between Russia and Ukraine continues with no
[00:22:33] visible political solution to stop the bleeding
[00:22:36] for both sides. In the latest
[00:22:39] chapter of this war, night attacks launched
[00:22:42] by Russia with missiles
[00:22:46] Kyiv and the surrounding area resulted in the killing of
[00:22:51] and the injury of dozens. A Ukrainian
[00:22:54] government source indicated that the Russian army launched
[00:22:58] 115 drones and 28 hypersonic
[00:23:01] missiles, including ballistic
[00:23:04] missiles. The source added that
[00:23:08] 98 drones were shot down
[00:23:12] without mentioning the downing of any missiles,
[00:23:15] at a time when Kyiv has been complaining
[00:23:19] anti-ballistic missile ammunition
[00:23:22] and has been demanding from its allies for months
[00:23:26] to supply it with more Patriot interceptor missiles
[00:23:29] to protect its airspace. On the other side,
[00:23:33] five people were killed and ten others were injured in the Moscow
[00:23:37] region due to retaliatory Ukrainian attacks
[00:23:41] that targeted the warehouses of major Russian e-commerce
[00:23:44] companies. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated
[00:23:47] that its air defense systems
[00:23:50] intercepted, during this Ukrainian targeting,
[00:23:54] more than 100
[00:23:57] that were headed towards the Russian
[00:24:00] capital. Drone attacks have become a feature
[00:24:04] of this conflict, as Ukraine relies on them
[00:24:07] to escalate its attacks on infrastructure in Russia,
[00:24:10] including oil and gas facilities and logistics
[00:24:14] centers. In Central America,
[00:24:18] authorities in Guatemala raised the alert level to its highest
[00:24:22] degree in three provinces after
[00:24:25] the increased activity of the Fuego volcano. The volcano has been experiencing
[00:24:29] strong eruptions since Monday, accompanied by lava
[00:24:32] flows and dense
[00:24:35] emissions of gases
[00:24:36] and ash.
[00:24:41] Between fears of lava flows
[00:24:44] and suffocation from dense gas and ash
[00:24:48] emissions, refuge was sought.
[00:24:58] The fear still remains
[00:25:02] last time. We cannot risk
[00:25:06] our lives, and that is why we hastened to leave,
[00:25:10] leaving everything despite the difficulty of leaving
[00:25:13] our homes. Fuego volcano, one
[00:25:16] of the most active volcanoes in Central America, erupts
[00:25:20] a fountain of lava with a height
[00:25:22] ranging between 200 and 300 meters
[00:25:26] above the crater of the mountain, which
[00:25:30] is about 4,000 meters high,
[00:25:33] while the height of the ash plume
[00:25:36] exceeded 7,000 meters and spread for a distance
[00:25:40] of up to 130 km
[00:25:44] to the west.
[00:25:47] We did not hesitate to leave when we saw the strength
[00:25:51] of the volcano's eruption. I took my family
[00:25:54] and we left the area immediately.
[00:25:57] Authorities in Guatemala raised the alert level to its
[00:26:01] highest degree in three provinces inhabited by
[00:26:04] more than 1.5 million people,
[00:26:07] and evacuated more than 1,700
[00:26:10] people from areas near the volcano's
[00:26:14] crater. Authorities warned that
[00:26:17] about 29,000 people were exposed
[00:26:20] to volcanic ashfall directly,
[00:26:24] calling on residents to take precautionary measures,
[00:26:27] including wearing masks and protecting
[00:26:31] water sources and food
[00:26:34] supplies.
[00:26:37] The rising lava and columns of gas
[00:26:40] and ash revived memories of the mudslides resulting
[00:26:44] from the devastating Fuego eruption in
[00:26:46] 2018,
[00:26:49] which killed 215
[00:26:52] people and left about 200
[00:26:55] missing.
[00:27:03] Asyad Shipping Company celebrated the naming of the oil product
[00:27:07] tanker "Minah" at the Wuhu shipyard
[00:27:10] in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China. The addition
[00:27:14] of "Minah" to Asyad Shipping's fleet is a new step
