00:00Now, let's ease this news hour with a separate publication of the latest news, these are the most prominent headlines.
00:10In Lebanon, Hezbollah accuses Israel of standing behind the explosion of its communications devices
00:15and pledges to continue its operations against Tel Aviv in solidarity with Gaza.
00:22In Mali, the army announced that the situation in the capital is under control after an armed attack targeted a center belonging to Daraq.
00:31And in Portugal, continuous efforts to extinguish the burning forests of the north of the country.
00:37Welcome again, our viewers, so as it came to the headlines, the beginning of Lebanon,
01:00where local sources officially announced the fall of a massive explosion of communications devices
01:08carried by members of the Lebanese Hezbollah in various areas that are considered the headquarters of the Hezbollah.
01:14The Lebanese Ministry of Health has clarified that there are a large number of people injured in various wounds
01:21traveling to hospitals across the country.
01:24On the other hand, Washington announced that it had no prior knowledge and had no role in these continuous explosions.
01:33Details in the report of Nawfal Khamlichi.
01:39The movement of an unidentified ambulance in the streets of the capital, Beirut.
01:44These cars did not stop transporting hundreds of injured to the Lebanese hospital.
01:50It is clear that the matter is related to continuous explosions.
01:54Long-lasting communications devices were in the possession of members of the Lebanese Hezbollah.
01:59An unprecedented security incident left the situation of a massive explosion in the southern suburbs of Lebanon,
02:05which is the headquarters of the Hezbollah, in addition to other Lebanese areas.
02:11Security cameras in one of the Lebanese markets reveal primary scenes
02:16at the time of the device explosion, which was in the possession of one of the people.
02:21These scenes were repeated in several different Lebanese areas to drop hundreds of injured
02:28who were injured at the level of the face and stomach, in addition to the fall of a killer.
02:33The Lebanese Ministry of Health has clarified that there are a large number of people injured in various wounds
02:39arriving at the Lebanese hospital.
02:42Around 3.30 p.m. today, a large number of injured people began to arrive at the hospital.
02:49This injury was mainly caused by an explosion in the communication devices of Beirut.
02:56The number of people who arrived on the ambulances was very large.
03:04The Ministry of Health has asked all hospitals in various Lebanese areas
03:09to raise the level of their equipment to meet the urgent need to serve the health ambulances.
03:16It was necessary to either perform a surgical operation or enter the emergency care units.
03:23Also, the number of martyrs was recorded.
03:29While official Lebanese authorities spoke about a security incident
03:33that was carried out using high-precision detonation technology,
03:36the Lebanese Hezbollah accused Israel of standing behind these explosions.
03:42The Hezbollah clarified that after investigating all the facts and evidence,
03:47Israel stands behind the simultaneous explosions,
03:51confirming its determination to respond to this type of operation.
03:56The United States, in the name of the U.S. Department of State,
04:02confirmed that it was not aware of this incident.
04:08Miller clarified that at this stage, he was collecting information about what happened.
04:13He refused to comment on the wide-ranging suspicions that Israel stands behind the explosions
04:19as a result of the need to reach a diplomatic solution to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
04:25The high-level U.S. envoy, Amos Hochstein,
04:29met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials yesterday,
04:35in an effort to prevent a full-scale war with Lebanon.
04:42In addition to these simultaneous explosions,
04:46which targeted Hezbollah's communications devices in Lebanon,
04:50we follow these statements and clarifications with the military expert
04:54and the strategic chief of staff, Najem Lab.
04:57This device prevents the use of the remaining devices that indicate its owner.
05:04Therefore, the Jihad was successful for a while,
05:07but there is a new experiment, a new competition,
05:11which was used in front of it about four months after the explosion,
05:19with new technologies, with lithium batteries.
05:23It seems that these batteries, there are two analyses.
05:27Either the lithium batteries, which have a heat tolerance of more than 150 volts,
05:33it seems that it was sent to its operator,
05:36to the operator who distributes this information to the people who carry the device.
05:43A kind of virus was sent to heat the device,
05:48and the device becomes capable of detonating its batteries
05:52and cause this damage, as it is attached to the body.
05:56Second, there may be electromagnetic waves,
06:02which can be sent from a drone over the operating room,
06:07and also sent to this device, if it is equipped,
06:12with a kind of explosives inside it.
06:16That is, either the battery of the charger,
06:19or a kind of explosive inside it that was not detected by the operators.
06:25This is the technical wave that happened with these elements.
06:31And about the way in which these explosions may have occurred,
06:35we follow the lights and explanations in this context
06:38with our correspondent in Lebanon, Khaldoun Zayn al-Din.
06:41I contacted a security source, as well as an expert in communications.
06:45As for the security source, he said that these explosives
06:48were devices obtained by the party in the last period.
06:52Of course, they are traditional devices, known as pagers.
06:56They are wireless devices that the party has been using for a long time.
07:00A source with me on the subject of communications,
07:03and he is from outside Lebanon, but follows me on this subject,
07:07said that this target is done by heating these batteries,
07:11lithium batteries in particular,
07:13in order to send shocks that may lead to the explosion of these batteries.
07:17And this is what happened.
07:19But the topics remain open for further analysis.
07:23There is an open investigation, and there are many analyses in this context.
07:27So far, as far as I know, the exploding batteries
07:31of the pager devices are lithium batteries.
07:34And the injuries, of course, were injuries on the level of the loss,
07:37on the level of the face and eyes, where these devices exist,
07:41whether it was during the talk,
07:43or during the abandonment of the elements of Hezbollah.
07:47In the Middle East, the Palestinians have always called on the member states
07:51in the United Nations to support their freedom
07:53by issuing a decision calling for the end of the Israeli occupation
07:57of the Palestinian lands within 12 months.
08:00The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, said
08:04that what is happening in Gaza today may be the last chapter
08:07of the tragedy experienced by the Palestinian people,
08:10or it will be the first chapter of a more tragic reality
08:14for our region as a whole, to the extent of its expression.
08:17The United Nations Judiciary Committee has considered
08:21that Israel is obliged to end its illegal existence
08:25in the occupied Palestinian lands as soon as possible.
08:29In addition, the Arab countries called for a special meeting
08:33of the UN a few days ago,
08:35with the arrival of dozens of heads of state and governments to New York
08:38to participate in the opening of the annual round
08:42in which the war between Israel and the Hamas movement
08:46in the Gaza Strip will be organized.
08:50On a diplomatic level, the US Secretary of State,
08:53Antony Blinken, arrived in Cairo this morning
08:55in a surprise visit that he has been looking for
08:58especially in the face of the efforts to reach an agreement
09:01to stop a fire in the Gaza Strip.
09:04The US officials secretly admit that they do not expect
09:08a breakthrough or progress in the talks
09:11that Blinken will hold in Cairo,
09:14but that the US Secretary of State wants from Egypt,
09:17the main ally of Washington,
09:19pressure to reach an agreement.
09:27On our side, the General Manager of the World Health Organization,
09:31Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced that two Israeli tanks
09:35fired on a caravan of aid from the World Health Organization
09:40were given permission to return from the north of the destroyed Gaza Strip
09:44due to the war.
09:46A week ago, Stefan Dujarek,
09:49the spokesman for the UN Secretary of State,
09:51announced that the caravan,
09:53which had 12 employees from the United Nations,
09:56was on its way to support a campaign
09:59to feed children in northern Gaza
10:03and was stopped under the threat of a weapon
10:06threatening the behavior of the Israeli forces.
10:13We turn now to Mali,
10:15where the capital, Bamako,
10:17witnessed an unprecedented terrorist attack
10:19that has not happened in years in the country.
10:22Armed men,
10:23who are considered to be on the base,
10:25attacked the military airport
10:27and a training center for the Daraq forces,
10:30while the army forces intervened
10:32to launch violent clashes between the two sides.
10:35Security sources have clarified
10:37that the violent fighting lasted for hours,
10:40as the operation avoided human and material losses.
10:45Details are followed in this report with Nouf Al-Khamlishi.
10:51The capital, Bamako,
10:53witnessed an unprecedented terrorist attack.
10:56The terrorist attack,
10:58which has not happened in years in the country,
11:00targeted a military area near the capital airport.
11:03In the details of the terrorist operation,
11:06armed men,
11:07who are considered to be on the base,
11:09attacked the military airport
11:11and a training center for the Daraq forces.
11:18People were shocked
11:20when they saw a suspicious man
11:22wearing a torn belt under his clothes
11:24while he was walking near the place
11:26where he had been evacuated.
11:33Armed men,
11:34who are considered to be on the base,
11:36attacked the military airport
11:38and a training center for the Daraq forces.
11:41Security sources have clarified
11:43that the violent fighting lasted for hours,
11:46as the operation avoided human and material losses.
11:49Details are followed in this report with Nouf Al-Khamlishi.

11:55who are considered to be on the base,
11:57attacked the military airport
11:59and a training center for the Daraq forces.
12:02The Daraq forces,
12:03who are considered to be on the base,
12:05attacked the military airport
12:07and a training center for the Daraq forces.
12:10The Daraq forces,

12:25The Daraq forces,
12:26who are considered to be on the base,
12:28attacked the military airport
12:30and a training center for the Daraq forces.
12:32The government has declared a national incident
12:35the terrorist attack..
12:49The gouvernment has declared a national incident
12:51This is the disputed area between New Delhi and Islamabad since the Indian government placed it a decade ago under its direct rule.
13:03The United Nations' World Food Program warned that more than 4 million people in 14 Western and Central African countries are suffering from catastrophic floods caused by torrential rains.
13:17The UN Secretary-General has said that the increase in human needs is a source of concern,
13:22especially as it is in line with the hunger crisis in the region, which has affected 55 million people,
13:30which is four times the number of people who have been affected for five years.
13:34The World Food Program also pointed to the urgent need to save $16 million in order to provide food aid.
13:47Portugal has mobilized thousands of children to fight the forest fires that killed at least three people yesterday,
13:56to increase the number of deaths to seven since the end of last week.
14:00The rise in temperature and strong winds has contributed to the outbreak of the three major fires in the Aveyro area.
14:09This has been extended since last Saturday until Thursday afternoon,
14:15after it was classified as the most dangerous fire in most parts of the country.
14:24More than 4,000 firefighters are ahead of time to fight one of the largest forest fires witnessed by Portugal.
14:34The fires have intensified in more than 50 locations after the winds have blown them since the end of last week.
14:42At a time when the Aveyro area remains, the situation in northern Portugal is more devastating,
14:49as the process of evacuating civilians to safe areas continues.
14:56Rescue units have been formed in Aveyro.
14:59The situation there is very complicated, but what is needed now is to rebuild to compensate for what we have lost today.
15:08In light of this situation, the authorities of Lisbon have activated the European Civil Protection Mechanism
15:16to obtain eight additional water-propelled aircraft.
15:21Portugal's request was answered by Spain, France, Italy and Greece,
15:26during what lasted until the evening of next Thursday.
15:29The situation has been deteriorating rapidly since Saturday.
15:34I would like to say that we need to be calm as well.
15:38We will endure difficult times in the coming days, and we must be prepared for them, and we must be united.
15:46Al-Bai'a experts say that global warming has increased the possibility of heatwaves and fires,
15:54especially in the Mediterranean region, which has become the most affected region in recent years.
16:04We have reached the end of this news hour, and now we come to the sports world.
16:09Following this topic, we will be joined directly by the writer, journalist and researcher in our Israeli affairs, Mr. Nazir Mjalli.
16:20Mr. Nazir, welcome.
16:23Welcome, Mr. Hesam.
16:26First of all, with regards to the bombings that took place yesterday,
16:30the Lebanese Hezbollah's communications devices were damaged and killed.
16:37First of all, what is your opinion on the analysis that indicates that Israel has violated the supply chain to disarm the communications devices,
16:46according to the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, which refused to make the Beijer call devices,
16:54which were detonated by Hezbollah's elements, made by Gold Apollo. What is your opinion on that?
17:02First of all, it should be noted that Israel does not yet admit that it is responsible for this matter,
17:09but it leaves room for anyone who looks at the events to say that Israel is behind it without this recognition.
17:16There are those who are very disappointed in Israel in this process,
17:20especially since it is a delicate process in which there is a great security breach,
17:25because we are talking about, first of all,
17:29those who have done this work know that Hezbollah needs these devices,
17:36and that it has asked to buy them.
17:38And where did it ask to buy them?
17:41And how will it get from there, from Taiwan, to Lebanon?
17:46And on the way, the exchange of these devices, as it seems, at least from the initial information,
17:52was exchanged with other devices made elsewhere,
17:57where these detonators were planted.
18:00And it has the ability to control the messages that reach these devices,
18:06because the talk is about an order issued by the senior leadership of Hezbollah to all activists,
18:16and this is the message that anyone who looks at it will be blown up in his face.
18:23And all of this indicates that there is a great security breach,
18:29and not only the cleverness of cyber,
18:32and of course there is also perfection in cyber,
18:36and this is a big intelligence blow for Hezbollah.
18:41Mr. Nader, so far, Israel has not admitted to stopping these attacks.
18:49In your opinion, are there any indicators that indicate that Tel Aviv is involved in these attacks,
18:56or is responsible for these attacks?
18:59First, it is the most beneficiary of this issue.
19:02Second, there is widespread spread in Israel about the attempts by Hezbollah
19:09to assassinate the former president of the Israeli army.
19:13These attempts were made in recent days,
19:17and were failed by the Israeli cemeteries.
19:19In connection with this, there were two other operations.
19:22One in March 2023,
19:26where an explosive bomb was detonated in an area inside Israel,
19:31close to a detention camp,
19:34and an Arab citizen was injured there in 1948.
19:41And another attempt in September to assassinate another political figure in Tel Aviv.
19:50These operations are mentioned by the Israelis
19:53to indicate that there is a kind of revenge as a result of this.
19:58Today, it is also reported that those who started the operation to detonate the phones
20:03in the battle between Hezbollah and Israel.
20:06Israel used this operation when it killed Yahya Ayyar in 1996.
20:12But in 1999, Hezbollah detonated one of the phone devices
20:19and left it behind in an occupied area in southern Lebanon,
20:24and it exploded inside a large Israeli security facility.
20:29They talk about this as revenge on one hand,
20:34and on the other hand, a warning that Israeli capabilities can harm Hezbollah a lot.
20:40This is also a warning to Iran,
20:43because this method is also used to assassinate certain Iranian figures,
20:48such as those scientists in nuclear issues, and so on.
20:53These are all indications that Israel is the one in the picture.
20:58In your opinion, Mr. Nader,
21:01why does the Lebanese Hezbollah still rely on pagers,
21:08even though these devices have become old?
21:14Why don't you rely on more modern means?
21:19In this war, we witnessed a large number of assassinations carried out by the Israeli army,
21:26and its responsibility was clearly announced.
21:30It was clear when the assassination was carried out,
21:33that whoever plays a role, even if he is the head of Hezbollah's army, should be thanked.
21:39All these operations were carried out using electronic means,
21:45including human spying and other spying.
21:50These operations led Hezbollah to abandon the use of smart phones.
21:58We heard Hassan Nusrallah say in several speeches that he warns activists
22:04not to use these devices because they are hacked.
22:09Today, any intelligence device in the world can control any phone we carry in our hands
22:16from advanced smart phones.
22:19That's why they resorted to this device.
22:22The problem is that Israel was under surveillance.
22:26If Israel was not under surveillance, other parties would have been under surveillance.
22:32It would have been easier for them to control the situation and use these devices to attack.
22:39Washington announced that it was not on advanced knowledge
22:44and that it had no role in the joint explosions that took place in Lebanon yesterday.
22:51In your opinion, what is your reading to deny the United States of its previous knowledge of this attack?
23:01In political relations between countries,
23:05it happens that an official comes and hears the matter and says,
23:10I did not hear and I do not want to hear.
23:12The United States is not inclined to be part of this process,
23:18so it denies.
23:20But there are also at the same time a number of indications that do not agree with this denial.
23:26For example, Amos Hochstein, the representative of the US president in the Lebanese-Israeli conflict,
23:33was in Israel when he made the decision.
23:36He came to try to prevent a fight in the war with Lebanon.
23:42Israel left on Monday after a series of meetings and did not continue its way to Lebanon.
23:48Usually, he visits both sides and tries to bring them closer.
23:53But when he came to Israel, he sent a message and left.
23:57When he left, Netanyahu issued a statement in which he said,
24:01we respect the American position and support the Americans,
24:06but we can do our own operations.
24:10This is what I noticed.
24:12There is an American representative in Israel, General Cooper,
24:20and there is a relationship between Israel and the United States.
24:24It is difficult for a person to think that they do not know.
24:27Mr. Nazeri, what is the role of Iran and its allies in the next phase?
24:35Can this incident lead to a comprehensive war in the region?
24:42Yes, the danger is there, but it may prevent this war.
24:46Now the United States is playing a major role in convincing Hezbollah through Iran.
24:52France is also working directly with Hezbollah and the Lebanese government
24:59so that there is no loud and unusual response so that there is no retreat to war.
25:06The United States is not interested in a comprehensive war,
25:09because a comprehensive war like this will push the United States to participate in it
25:14in defense and protection of Israel.
25:16That is why it is trying to withdraw a lot of war.
25:19Will Hezbollah accept this? Will Hezbollah pass through this issue?
25:24This is a decision, of course, made by Hezbollah.
25:26One last question, Mr. Nazeri.
25:29Tomorrow, Hezbollah's Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah, will deliver a speech.
25:38What do you think are the main issues that Hezbollah may focus on?
25:47As you know, this is a matter that concerns Hezbollah, not just a few.
25:53First, Hezbollah will focus on reassuring its men that this is part of the war, part of the battle,
26:00and that they must withstand it and advance it.
26:03He will have to give explanations for such a matter, because it is a dangerous matter and the damage is great.
26:10The people who received these blows are the children of Lebanon and the children of Hezbollah,
26:17who have a lot of questions that need to be answered.
26:21Especially since Hezbollah has pledged to continue its military operations against Israel,
26:26as a support for Gaza.
26:28Thank you very much, the writer, journalist and researcher on Israeli affairs,
26:33Mr. Nader Mjalli. Thank you very much for all these explanations and explanations.
