condemned this criminal act carried out by the zionist enemy. which led to the death of some innocent citizens who are passing by the streets and you almost. so again, we emphasize out position, besides brothers in the arabian embassy and the as why mac republican be around it . and we can assure that syria and d is lemme career public. don't forget the enemy's sort of yeah, what did you want to go to? some of the last one, the other among the dead is brigadier general mohammed res. as a haiti, he was a talked to amanda in the elite codes for us, the, for an operations of these, why mac revolutionary god? these riley nutri hasn't commented on the attack there. israel has been increasing its operations against iran, lynch forces in syria since the october 7th. how much terror attacks iran says it reserves the right to retaliate. i've got, we told you before, the zionist entity knows very well that such crimes and any kind of crimes will not

remain without response as rescues kind through the rubble for survivors or body use concerns over a rapid escalation of violence in the region arising spring and roger shelley hun here who's the middle east analyst and military experts based in sydney. thanks for joining us. roger. tell us israel has a 100. we struck these iranian diplomatic compound in syria, from a military point of view. why? what is realtors to do that now? but you would have mentioned that um, even the senior already of the military personnel that i was talking that it presented opportunity with a head very solid intelligence. and it was of limited time values that i elected to the killers. i chose a person when had the opportunity, so is a target of opportunity. obviously

a informed by a quite good intelligence, but it fits into the broader patton of is around trying to target right around and running and supported elements in its region. now several high ranking members of iran's revolutionary guard corps are said, have been killed in that attack. what do we know about them? is for what we know is that they, um uh i j say come on the, for the pro, running and forces with lots of joke about his bow a here in syria and living on i was killed including along with his deputy. so are we talking about a significant capability loss in those people that's got to set back right?

operations in the region somewhat. everybody can always be replaced, obviously, but give them a senior already of the table that were killed in one sale swoop. it shows, as we said before, that is riley intelligence was quite sold on this occasion. now, iranian president abraham, right, you see his just said today that israel's attack on iran's consul, it in syria will not go unanswered. what might 2 runs answer look like? i missed a very good question and that's uh, one that uh, i think uh and lists and documents. uh, also i grapple with there's a 2 questions. so he's a senior i a j c offices. so the value to a ron is significant. that kind of a tech really can't go on and said if you want to buy in time, some degrees to terrance on the right hand side. and sorry,

you'd be looking regionally to strike these route directly if that's possible. so you're probably looking at pro, writing groups in syria or rock or his ball lot in living on, but there's only really a limit to what i can do then use you're looking at a, it's a national targets that represent is route in some way, shape or form that heavy vein said ron has in the past threatened retaliation, but their options are relatively limited because i want to buy, they want to ensure that the situation doesn't go out of their own control. so it's a difficult issue about how ronnie is going to respond frontier. thank you very much for talking with us today. that was roger shawna hun, middle east analyst and military expert in sydney. spill the food aid organization. world central kitchen says 7 of its team members in

garza, had been killed in an alleged is really air strikes in this statement. the n g o says the group, we're traveling into armored cars, branded with the organizations logo alongside another vehicle and were hit after leaving a warehouse in there all along. it says citizens from several countries were killed . australia as prime minister says, aid worker is only frank come from australia was among them. she's seen here on the left and a world kitchen world central kitchen video posted last month. israel says it's investigating the incident as it continues its operation and gaza in response to the almost october 7 terror attacks. australian prime minister, entity, albany, easy, has given his reaction astray expects full accountability for the depth of i'd with his which is completely unacceptable. i'd workers and size doing humanitarian work and the date on innocent civilians need to be provided

with protection of more. let's speak now to our correspondent rebecca richards in jerusalem. rebecca, what more can you tell us about this incident in gaza? well, terry, it's been concerned that this team is work because as you mentioned, had been working in this warehouse, they had been unloading about a 100 tons of aid that had just arrived on a shipment from through the maritime cardo from cyprus of the world. central kitchen saying that they were at, they need a warehouse indiana ball as you mentioned in central garza, and that they had been traveling in a convoy. so 2 of the vehicles in that home, boy, what ahmed one was what's known as a soft skin, a regular vehicle. and that they were mocked very clearly with the world, the central kitchen logo on the roots pictures that we're in fact seeing a show just with the impact whole went right through that signage on,

on the roof of one of those vehicles. so they were clearly mocks. now the wealth central kitchen has released a very strong statement in the off the mouth of this incident, saying, this is not only an attack against the world central kitchen. this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where the food is being used as a weapon of all very strong was they, they have seen suspended their operations in the area. and so they take stock and figure out what the next move is. now, as you mentioned, the audience has released a statement. this is fairly standard in the off the mouth of these events. the statement says that it's conducting a thorough review at the highest level. it didn't have the 9 or confirm and, and hasn't yet we are expecting to potentially get so the statements throughout the day from is riley miller treat though they did consent, but they had been working closely with the world central kitchen. um, as i said now, most under kitchen has decided to suspend its opperation and they were expecting

a so the shipment of a through that maritime cargo that has reportedly also been halted. so you say the world so from kitchen has suspended his operations and goes other 8 organizations of course are watching this closely as well. could this end up having an impact on the provision of humanitarian aid and gaza at such a desperate time as well? i think most certainly, terry, i mean if this is concern to his bane and his riley strike, i think it points to a real problem with the process. so what's known as d confliction? now that is the process where organizations, individuals and people trying to distribute. i discussed with the military and our assured that safe passage basically now and here is a, has been saying for some time that there has been a huge problem with this process. in fact that it's completely broken. and we know that this isn't the 1st attack that has that the, you know, that has killed for up kills and g o work. cuz the one run the organization that

you and organization task with assisting palestinian refugees. certainly one of the biggest operating in goals are at the moment, it says that, well, the 170 of its employees have been killed throughout these operations. so certainly when we're looking, when the us is looking at potentially an offering me amount of a that may come through that maritime border, trying to build a j t of temporary j t to allow for more a to come in via a c. is it me wondering who will, who will be willing to distribute that aid if they fee, if organizations stay that they would be putting that and your work is a huge risk of being taught, either targeted or caught up in these, in these as strikes? becca, thank you very much. that was a, correspond to rebecca rivers in jerusalem. now synagogues new leader is being inaugurated as the countries president today, after a surprise when largely driven by young voters hungry for change. opposition leader,

bossy, rouge. you may say a july fly rather of profits to tackle corruption and protects. and the goal is economy from the influence of foreign powers, you know, faces a series of major challenges as he prepares to take office. his supporters call him mister clean. that's because president elect the pseudo dom i say, is promising. a new set of all of the senegalese people have chosen to break with the past. i think i pledge to govern with humility and transparency and to fight corruption at all levels. i pledge to devote myself fully to rebuilding our institutions and strengthening the foundations of our way of life together. the se is not a well known political figure and only into the leadership race as

a substitute for his mentor. it was months uncle, a long standing opposition. forrest in the country who was disqualified from the election, released from jail himself less than 2 weeks before the vote. 44 year old phase now set to becomes 10, a goals, youngest president, riding on the back. a song goes young supporters, you will see a different face of the senegalese people and of synagogue because it's a total revolution. everything is going to change behaviorally socially and financially. everything's going to change. ready to say appealed to jobless voters struggling under the weight of high unemployment. he also rallied support under a populous pen african platform that included promises of economic independence and a new currency not paid to the euro to. but synagogue will also start producing oil and gas this year,

which could mean new international partnerships in german or send a go will always hold his ground and remain a friendly country. and a reliable ally to any partner who engages with us and virtuous, respectful, and mutually productive corporation. in the run up to the selection was filled with fears of democratic back fighting fe. now faces the challenge of inspiring confidence on all levels experts face and the goal will need sweeping reforms if it's to move forward in the need for brand legislative reform that's been brought to the people in presidential power in the country. and then to hustle fights, caught up. so we typing as being domino development to this country. now it's time to see of say, a young and unexpected leader can really lead synagogue into a new chapter. journalist are well, but color is induct,

following the story forest r o, this is a big day incentive goal. obviously, in just a few hours, the youngest president in the history of africa, youngest elected president will be sworn in. what's the most fear like in senegal? oh, the administration senegal is just as people just got back from you sir. so the duration is very come. some have left the city for holiday week and as on thursday will happen the independence day. some other still working for sure. you can also see all the relief on people's face and the 2 years of 2 troubles are over now. and some of them are happy to see murky saul just leaving the country or the power. yet it's an historical moment to leave and many will certainly follow the swearing ceremony on radio and tv. and we'll take that our break and the city the address

for the city here in the car. it's also very secure because many presidents will attend the serve any such as the again, again president besides, he made president for retain. yes, there are a lot and the on and couple of already also the represented of a cause and african union. now bussey rouge are my 5 winning this selection team is a bit of a surprise to many. do you think that the transition to the new government will be smooth? what challenges will the new leader face as well? there is many, many challenges there is um there is um, the employment to use again employment use the fact that they needed to also to reduced you grew to the well because the, the exploitation of the, of the oil and gas is expected to start for this year so there is a lots of expectation and also there is also a couldn't be can social uh,

expectation regarding this new president and taking care of the youngest that they are very well aware of the fact that people take time. maybe things will not be fixed until maybe 5 years for some topics here. but it's, it's a, it's a surprise overall because everybody thought that he was going to be a boring president in the presidential rigs. and that's the, the establishment had enough sponsors to submit to the constitutional court. and it surprised also because it's a hell of a destiny for a 44 year old man. and it happened to you who happened to be detained in prison. less than a months ago. and he was a known from everybody a year ago, and the, i'm just, the law came as a day was asked x mac, you know, his story like so. yeah. so this is, this is the reason why it's, it's, it's been a surprise and you have also the, the postpone the 1st that you sent it to evolve,

postponing the election from like you side of that happen. that's, that is also the quite of the, of a surprise and i know so people are use baby on of, i haven't seen a cool happening in african countries here. but a single led to these elections as a, as a tremendous example of a good democracy, an exciting day. and so the goal journalist are well by color inductor. oh, thank you very much. thank you, terry. now to india, which has implemented the new citizenship law just weeks before a general election, the bill was 1st passed in 2019 and provides a fast track to natural ization for minority religious groups from neighboring afghanistan, pakistan, and bangladesh. however, it does not include muslims who make up the majority of the population. of those 3 countries. citizenship amendment act had lain dormant since deadly

protest in 2019 only to be inactive. now as the country heads to the poles, dw is manero charged. re reports its remo done, and the streets of shaheen bug in delhi are buzzing the fest. with these, after a long day of lasting in 2019, the muslim majority area became a hot sports in the protest against the citizenship amendment at o. c. a for short we meet us with most of a little over 4 years ago, spent days and nights at this exact support leading one of the biggest protest movements independent india hudson. someone plays a broken bring to that. and that was the place at a resort and gave speeches in 2019 c. e. a. make changes to an existing law to grand foxtrot citizenship. to undocumented migrants from 6 religious groups including hindus and christians. from 3 mostly majority may bring countries focused

on, found the beach and they've gone, it's done. are mostly migrants were not included in the provision or any other lead just any particular time in the coming to india for starting does for gets them into fine. i suppose that much when you say it, but it won't be a good solution, but except the last name, that's the point where i have the so c is totally just lemme for make it to salt lake tribune. the critics call c e in the us post religion based citizenship test. and the initial step of the logic agenda there are fios that it could potentially be used to expand most lives identified as illegal immigrants. they just sit collectively targeting with them and our sites again via supposedly the secular control that can gather relieving. is there a hidden agenda? we need melancholy, a b, b leader and supreme court advocate. according to koli,

the c a is not the most name, but it's simply about helping minority non muslims in the region. for most of them who wants to be an immigrant osha's to seek citizenship. you to say that i should be false track when he's coming from a muslim majority country and who has the option to go to 50. other countries which i handle doesn't have a sick. it doesn't that is discriminatory then to the entire causing papas. but critics of the at main team, the law is discriminatory and that using religion as a baseless positive and ship violets of fundamentals right to equality. we spoke decal shanks into an advocate, specializing in constitutional law. he told us that citizenship amendment at still faces a number of legal challenges. the question is whether or not the amendments actually boss constitutional muster. and that are already partitions, which i've been listed before, the supreme court to anticipate, unfortunately decide on the constitutionality of this act. back in shining buck us,

it is what it as he is concerned that the government might soon march the c a with the plant national logistics of citizens or n o c. for sure, the propose to just to would make a list of all legal citizens in india and put dye citizenship rights even more closely to religion. really like it possible that the human cannot see. because that a huge door to slims. and we get tons phase. we only need anything that we can imagine for now aust, with is clinging to the hope that india is highest gold will strike down any low linking citizenship to religion, to data over 200 petitions, challenging to see have been filed. so why has prime minister modi's government chose to implement this kindly, controversial lol. now i put the question to on the amount of political analyst and journalist in delhi, that's a question that actually only they can answer um,

but to be blunt. uh, like a lot of the of center, right, or authoritarian parties in politics. a lot of dog wrestling happens just before elections because that helps pull the rights awards and it benefits particular parties. this happens in countries around the world and the body is beat if he is particularly good at the drawings of polarizing content just before elections because it benefits a how would you describe the mood among india is muslim population right now, especially given the decision to implement this law right, but i think it's a little hard to talk about the person population as a whole. you have to think of it that is approximately 200000000 people across a breath of this country a. but on the whole,

what the indian listens are wanting is to avoid any thing that uh, that paints them as a target. and this particular law is seen as something of especially if it's tied to a national center, a nash certification of registration. that it will particularly pick and choose out muslims as people who can be targeted. and that fear is something that i mean for any minority anywhere in, in the world. and you see this, i mean, when you saw this in the us with black lives matter. when you give extra power to course a political apparatus, particularly the police, to check people, you know, to stop and press. all of this, always a impacts,

a repressed minority is i'm not sure. so a very strong low life is which can be used broadly, is the fear particularly for poorer muslims would have been re course. now we heard in, in the report we heard the argument in the report that the and the new law is not meant to be as lama public. that it would simply be helping minority non muslims in the region. can you make sense of that argument? well, there's 2 parts of it. uh, what is that a muslims, by the way do is on the also allow a included in that, but there's very few jews applying for citizenship and then they're the one that muslims are not allowed to be fast, correct. but the other question is you have 3 countries, what this law applies to and that's a problem. assign fox done and bung with dish in india is actually hosted far larger publishing of refugees from she loved god for tom. uh, and from uh,

from to bet the tibetans um from my end, like the ro here refugee is considered the most persecuted refugee is in the world . um, how come the largest number of refugees are not reflected in the uh, the countries for which the largest number brokerages are coming in and into india are not reflected. what the question really is, what is the logic of this law? and it isn't, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with any current trend of refugees in india. okay. i'm afraid we're gonna have to leave it there a month in the political analysts, consultant, rider journalist, thank you so much for talking with us. thanks so much, but if you're watching dw news, just reminder the top story we're following for you this hour. syria is blaming israel for an air strikes to destroy the ranch console it in damascus,
