[00:00:01] radars and key components had been attacked only hours earlier
[00:00:05] remain operational and still force one of America's most
[00:00:09] advanced aircraft to abandon its mission, incident that
[00:00:13] now forces the United States to rethink not just a flight
[00:00:16] path, but its entire calculation over Iran's
[00:00:19] skies.
[00:00:23] The equation in Iran's skies is no longer the
[00:00:26] same.
[00:00:31] Normally, I would take my daughter to the
[00:00:32] Palestine unite so that this
[00:00:44] precautions. I don't This week on expose, Washington says it is winning, but can its
[00:00:48] on October 8th, after what happened on own narrative survive the facts? The BBC Fox
[00:00:51] News, X, the New York Times and the Lamond and tell different parts
[00:00:55] of a war Washington is struggling to control a captured
[00:00:58] American submersive. missile barrages, trained patriot
[00:01:02] defenses, economic pressure, European paralysis
[00:01:05] and an American president caught between contradiction and
[00:01:09] ridicule, while the propaganda machine insist everything is
[00:01:12] under control, the numbers and increasingly the media
[00:01:16] tell another story,
[00:01:19] people so that Washington's war of contradiction on
[00:01:20] expose.
[00:01:35] and so I'm sitting and playing on
[00:01:36] of the settlers on
[00:02:11] to a situation take huge reservations of
[00:02:12] where
[00:02:18] with the click of a button
[00:02:22] you can bring down nations to their
[00:02:24] needs,
[00:02:29] people that may have been killed as a but don't think that. decision to recognize Israel is easy
[00:02:32] one, killing and
[00:02:35] Israel,
[00:02:40] two words that encapsulate a single concept,
[00:02:44] state terrorism, they are a kind of
[00:02:48] artificial existence, it's always been
[00:02:51] our home, it will always be our home. our main
[00:02:54] weapon of deterrence is their fear of
[00:02:57] us.
[00:03:04] The Israeli benefits from everything he has and
[00:03:08] on the planet to fight
[00:03:10] his enemies.
[00:03:12] Every penetration of the camera that is filming us at the present time,
[00:03:16] which can explode in us at any moment.
[00:03:37] The killer applauds and
[00:03:40] crossed this able with all of leaves behind innumerable number of victims
[00:03:47] intelligence gathering with all of gathering by the israelis with all of our good friend, all harmed the time, crossed by tools of killing,
[00:03:50] strikes against the resistance
[00:03:58] It exploded in the heart of the Rapid.
[00:04:06] The question was raised that if the Israeli enemy was
[00:04:10] able to carry out such an operation, what are its
[00:04:13] technical capabilities that it can use to target the party in
[00:04:17] additional operations?
[00:04:21] The pager operation is a declaration
[00:04:24] of war on Hezbollah.
[00:04:26] had very severe injuries, concentrated on
[00:04:32] On the Al-Aqsa Flood line,
[00:04:34] from tension escalates on the southern Lebanese border with Palestine.
[00:04:38] Artillery shells and guided missiles launched by
[00:04:41] Hezbollah target Israeli sites in the occupied
[00:04:45] Shebaa Farms, and the Israeli army responds.
[00:05:14] O Zahra, O Fatima Zahra, we must
[00:05:17] remember that the party was not the one who initiated the battle, nor was it the one
[00:05:21] who opened the front. The party joined
[00:05:24] the battle that was started by the heroic mujahideen
[00:05:28] in the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza on October
[00:05:31] 7, 2023. O our brothers in the Islamic
[00:05:34] Resistance in Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Iraq,
[00:05:37] and Syria, this is the day when your resistance
[00:05:41] and your people in
[00:05:45] cowardly occupier understands that the era of
[00:05:49] killing scholars and leaders
[00:05:51] has ended.
[00:05:57] that a party would
[00:06:00] October 7th of Israeli criminality against the people of Gaza
[00:06:04] by bombing buildings over the heads of their residents,
[00:06:07] open another front apart from it being
[00:06:10] considered something ethical
[00:06:13] and a duty, and it is considered
[00:06:17] support for Gaza, and all these ethical considerations
[00:06:20] mean that someone bold took
[00:06:24] this step, and that is
[00:06:26] because he is principled towards Palestine and towards the Palestinian
[00:06:31] it does not stand alone.
[00:06:35] If Egypt was like this, there wouldn't be such fear, both from the residents
[00:06:39] and the citizens. You hear people talking in the yard.
[00:06:44] because it aligns with the party's
[00:06:47] orientations and ideology. I believe that His Eminence the Secretary
[00:06:50] General and the leadership of the party took the difficult
[00:06:54] path because it is the right
[00:06:57] path, even though they knew, and I believe they knew,
[00:07:01] that there was a great
[00:07:02] danger.
[00:07:09] The whole world is called upon.
[00:07:12] In the name of these oppressed bloods, the blood
[00:07:15] of thousands of children and women in
[00:07:18] Gaza, in the name of civilians,
[00:07:21] in the name of mosques, churches,
[00:07:23] and hospitals, in the name of all that is
[00:07:27] humane, in all that is
[00:07:30] humane, ethical, and valuable,
[00:07:33] they are called upon
[00:07:37] to take a stance, to work hard day and
[00:07:41] night.
[00:07:53] Well, in fact, today, as I said, there were five attacks,
[00:07:56] Israelies were retaliating Hizbillah, then retaliating
[00:08:00] to the retaliation, escalation, situation is
[00:08:03] escalating gradually, but direly, because I
[00:08:07] mean, over the past seven days, there were attacks,
[00:08:11] but this is the first. day that we see this amount of
[00:08:14] attacks happening and at the same time um,
[00:08:18] while there is an Israeli killed in uh
[00:08:21] shutulas reported.
[00:08:48] will always be remembered that the resistance hizballah has been
[00:08:53] the information
[00:08:56] their satellites with all of their
[00:09:00] the supply and the help of the western world which has when you're talking
[00:09:03] about slice of strip of
[00:09:06] land where everything is focused there and
[00:09:09] monitoring being monitored there as
[00:09:21] The border with Lebanon and since there were
[00:09:25] settlements and settlers and occupiers
[00:09:29] in northern occupied Palestine on the border with
[00:09:32] Lebanon, what is happening now
[00:09:35] has not happened even in the July War since
[00:09:38] October 8th.
[00:09:41] That all Israeli military sites,
[00:09:47] the sea to the heights of Shebaa Farms and the hills
[00:09:50] of Kfar Shuba, are subjected
[00:09:53] to daily and concentrated offensive
[00:09:57] operations targeting these
[00:09:59] sites and the areas between them, targeting
[00:10:03] tanks, vehicles,
[00:10:06] drones, soldiers,
[00:10:10] their gatherings, and their equipment.
[00:10:26] We were hit by the missile, it's Baruch's missile, I don't know, Hagai
[00:10:30] Baruch's missile, something hit here.
[00:10:34] Wow
[00:10:35] wow
[00:10:40] In fact, a war is being fought in the north. We are incredibly
[00:10:44] afraid here. We are living under fire, under a war
[00:10:47] that the residents have never lived through. There is no economy, no employment,
[00:10:51] no tourism, no agriculture, no nothing here. Now what
[00:10:55] do they want? They want to drag us into a year,
[00:10:58] two years, how long do you think a mentally
[00:11:01] and physically healthy person can contain this
[00:11:05] situation? This needs to be stopped yesterday, not
[00:11:08] as they say.
[00:11:11] what it did by supporting and opening a front
[00:11:15] caused the displacement of nearly
[00:11:19] 6,000 Israelis in the strip,
[00:11:22] in the northern settlements.
[00:11:26] We travel to town called Matula. They are
[00:11:29] under constant bombardment almost daily from
[00:11:33] drones and missiles being fired from Lebanon into
[00:11:36] Israel by Hezballah. We later
[00:11:39] learned that planes tried and failed to shoot
[00:11:42] down the drone. The explosion killed two
[00:11:46] soldiers in the Israeli defense force
[00:11:49] reserves.
[00:11:53] in part by supporting the resistance. It caused
[00:11:55] damage
[00:11:58] to the normal life
[00:12:01] the strip. no one tells in the
[00:12:04] authentic way you know like they're going to kill
[00:12:08] this part of the country have to admit we've been here for what like an
[00:12:12] hour yeah this has been a crazy hour I'll say yeah and I
[00:12:15] think this is it's very much how it is for the last seven
[00:12:19] months and I don't think enough people are getting how serious this is
[00:12:23] uh it was very effective it was very strong.
[00:12:25] "it yielded very important results let alone
[00:12:28] that they have forced the Israelis to make to
[00:12:34] their army into that into that front and this
[00:12:38] has helped Gaza lot not to face
[00:12:41] these if you want regiments of the
[00:12:43] army.
[00:12:52] for both sides the situation started heading toward"
[00:13:01] Now we need to understand the
[00:13:04] situation we
[00:13:06] are in with Hezbollah.
[00:13:10] Reality, all the time, and it is bringing
[00:13:13] us closer to the point of no return where we will have to make
[00:13:17] a decision, what we are doing, and for
[00:13:21] us the supreme mission is to bring the residents home. We
[00:13:25] will bring them home either
[00:13:27] through a political solution or
[00:13:31] through a military operation.
[00:13:57] So this strip became a battlefield
[00:14:00] between the two sides. The resistance sometimes
[00:14:05] line, and Israel, in return,
[00:14:09] sometimes, most of
[00:14:12] this line and launched deep inside
[00:14:15] Lebanon.
[00:14:21] And in fact, they open a dream. They make a decision. A day,
[00:14:25] two days, a week, that tells
[00:14:28] me, we now have a hit order for the assassination of
[00:14:31] Muhsan. I tell the head of the Mossad and his people, I tell them,
[00:14:35] good luck, do what needs to be done. I'm going
[00:14:38] to an air force base, I meet the air force commander, we
[00:14:42] see the bombs falling and Muhsan
[00:14:45] is eliminated, in Beirut, the one
[00:14:48] whom the security system considers Hezbollah's de
[00:14:51] facto chief of staff.
[00:15:11] place where it has hit very hard against it, they cannot stand it anymore, and they send threats after threats, they send
[00:15:15] warnings that we cannot take it anymore and we are going
[00:15:19] to like launch huge offensive,
[00:15:22] many messages were passed actually by the... Israelis with many
[00:15:26] delegates or envoys who came to Lebanon, but my understanding
[00:15:30] is that the estimation of the resistance at that point was
[00:15:33] not convinced, because I mean you're reading the Israeli mind.
[00:15:56] That day was a
[00:15:58] Tuesday.
[00:16:08] Ghardoorieh. She stayed there that day, and I took her
[00:16:12] to my cousin's
[00:16:13] house.
[00:16:18] My Tuesday is a full
[00:16:21] clinic day from morning
[00:16:23] till evening.
[00:16:28] well interestingly i was on the phone with my
[00:16:32] friend who just landed in Beirot a
[00:16:34] surgeonho had just landed in
[00:17:07] that its sound is coming out and a new ring, I mean, not the ring I put,
[00:17:12] the phone. And the pager
[00:17:15] kept ringing because its ring was, we can say, like
[00:17:19] the previous ring, meaning the battery was hot from the back, so I'm
[00:17:23] telling myself that there are problems with the pagers,
[00:17:26] and so I want to press again, I insist, I mean, I'm pressing
[00:17:30] again like this, the light turned off completely, but I brought
[00:17:34] it close to my face, I mean, I didn't get a chance to.
[00:17:47] king news this hour, dozens of members of the Lebanese armed
[00:17:51] group Hezballah appear to have been uh
[00:17:54] simultaneously targeted by
[00:17:57] their pages being remotely detonated, we don't
[00:18:01] the full extent of the injuries, we don't the full scale of the number of
[00:18:06] result of... that, but what we do know is that Hezballah has
[00:18:10] described this as major security breach, big questions
[00:18:13] about now, the pajor explodes in the hand while
[00:18:17] people are trying to read the
[00:18:20] message, and so we're getting mangled hands and
[00:18:24] penetrating injuries and blast injuries to the face and to the
[00:18:27] eye. The hardest thing I had to do was tell fathers
[00:18:31] and even and
[00:18:33] even sons and daughters about their family members.
[00:18:37] about their loved ones um surprisingly again they
[00:18:41] were they were very strong like
[00:18:44] i i couldn't understand how they were how they
[00:18:47] could pull their all their emotions or stay in in
[00:18:51] control with this operation
[00:19:13] I just thought there was a calling error,
[00:19:16] I didn't think that the Israeli was the one who booby-trapped it and detonated it.
[00:19:28] Bayrut eye surgeon LAS Geirarde weeps as he works around the clock
[00:19:32] treating victims of the pager explosions around Lebanon. On
[00:19:35] Wednesday, Lebanon's health.
[00:19:57] And it was very first, and the quality of the injuries
[00:20:00] that were coming in, the injured
[00:20:04] the face, eyes, and ears.
[00:20:10] The size of the injury was concentrated mostly on my
[00:20:14] face
[00:20:16] and my left hand. On my face, there were some fractures
[00:20:20] in the skull, and there was a penetrating shrapnel above
[00:20:23] my right eye, hitting the brain. There were
[00:20:26] fractures in the eye socket around the eye,
[00:20:29] and both eyes were completely gone, and in my nose,
[00:20:33] it was also almost cut in half, and in my mouth,
[00:20:37] only the upper lip,
[00:20:38] and my hands,
[00:20:42] and my left
[00:20:44] hand, I mean, two and a half fingers were gone,
[00:20:48] which are the
[00:21:16] blind killing you're seeing.
[00:21:20] for a group of people sitting in a civil society among
[00:21:22] their families, at their work, among
[00:21:25] people, places of worship, in hospitals, everywhere they
[00:21:29] are. The largest number of children,
[00:21:33] women, and elderly also came
[00:21:35] by themselves.
[00:21:38] uh in fact the attack was an unlawful
[00:21:41] one because it's indiscriminate um because there's no way to
[00:21:45] actually control who has the pager
[00:21:48] uh and how the pag
[00:21:54] The minimum is 4,000 people killed in
[00:21:57] one minute. This is apart
[00:22:00] from Wednesday's wireless devices. We are still talking
[00:22:03] about pagers regardless of the number of
[00:22:07] people who can be killed in their surroundings in the hospital,
[00:22:11] in the pharmacy, in the market, at home, in the car, and on
[00:22:14] the road.
[00:22:17] This is the enemy's intention and this
[00:22:34] is a communication, no more no less, you receive a message, a person understands
[00:22:37] its meaning through details, I mean,
[00:22:41] the details of my communications, if we can
[00:22:42] say so.
[00:22:46] So this device is used.
[00:23:50] nations across the country in a manner where the Israeli
[00:23:53] government could not know where the pages were when they
[00:23:56] exploded, and this meant that civilians were adversely
[00:24:00] impacted, some were killed and some were injured. um, and
[00:24:04] because of the indiscriminate nature of this device, because it would detonate in the
[00:24:08] hands of anybody who picked it up, whether it was
[00:24:12] someone who was or wasn't a member of hezballah, whether it was a child,
[00:24:15] whether it was someone who just happened to see the device in
[00:24:19] someone's home.
[00:24:35] In security work, there is no
[00:24:39] value for international law, because it is assumed that whoever
[00:24:43] wants to carry out a security operation will have in mind that if the
[00:24:46] operation succeeds, they will leave no trace.
[00:26:18] We're not supposed to talk about demona, that's the
[00:26:21] game, because it's a secret, this Jewish state
[00:26:24] have 200 atomic weapon of hydrogen bomb, all the
[00:26:28] other nuclear plants in the world are monitored, but not the ones
[00:26:31] in. He used to work without any
[00:26:35] kind of precautionary measures. On the contrary,
[00:26:38] the same person who used to bring him food or drink used to
[00:26:42] take all necessary
[00:26:46] understand this matter,
[00:26:49] and may
[00:26:52] God have mercy on him. We, Jordan and Israel, have a peace treaty, and we are committed to its provisions,
[00:26:56] Dimona will leave
[00:26:59] us because he is the reason.
[00:29:30] The headlines of Palestinian journalist. Syndicate condemns Israel's abduction of
[00:29:34] Press TV's reporter Nagahammed warning about her health
[00:29:37] conditions in the regime's
[00:29:39] prisons.
[00:29:43] The human rights group says Israel is increasingly deploying quadcopter
[00:29:46] drones to target Palestinian civilians in
[00:29:48] Gaza.
[00:29:54] Also in our headlines, United States Federal Reserve has raised.
