1:33 pm
vehicles, the massive skill of destruction that was left after the withdrawal of the 36th division, as you can see, the infrastructure, the communication and internet networks and all the switch networks were struck and flattened and some bodies of are still under the rubble, confirms the new military losses and clashes with palestinian resistance fighters in gaza. military says an israeli troop died of wounds he sustained in a battle in southern gaza on wednesday. three reservists were also wounded seriously in the north and center of the besieged enclave. according to the israeli military, total of 191 soldiers have been killed in its ground invasion of gaza. palestinian resistance groups however say the actual toll is much higher as israel highs the real. number of
1:34 pm
its military losses. in the meantime, military wing of uh palestinian resistance movement hamas says that the fighters targeted a markava tank with three soldiers on board. al-kasasan brigades also detonated the mouth of a tunnel in a gaza city neighborhood as a group of israeli infantry men were there. mexico and chile have referred israel's war on gaza to the international criminal court. "the two countries say referral is because of escalating violence against civilians in gaza, especially children. the palestinian foreign ministry has welcomed the move by mexico and chile. ministry said referral confirms icc's need to fulfill its mandate by detering and prosecuting the most serious crimes. last week south africa also presented a case at the international court of justice over the gaza war. case said that israel's committing genocide in gaza. it demanded..."
1:35 pm
icj order emergency suspension of the regime's military campaign there, large number of countries backed south africa's case. like many. countries around the world, austrians have also held rallies to express solidarity with gazons, people took to the streets defying a ban on such demonstrations. our correspondent in viena has asked some austrians about media bias and the lack of coverage of prov palestine voices. since i am mainly influenced by austrian television, i think it is very onesited. i read lot of international newspapers and their reporting there is... entirely different than on austrian television, namely it is not as onesited. in austria, there is much reporting from israel's perspective and the situation a gaza strip is only featured in very few media outlets. above all, there is hardly any information about what the civilian population in gaza is doing. when you come in
1:36 pm
maybe austria, uh, it's a bit uh bias, yeah, uh, also uh, the mensos where you can... in now nowadays where you can find the truth is through social media because uh now uh you have access to to information uh from there also and people uh see the truth and you can see uh the murder of the child uh the children in gaza what you cannot see in the media yeah the the decision uh take in un also that uh hiding for people hiding for people and you can see it uh uh through social major ye, this is the this is my opinion, there's some uh uh, how can i say some major have a high agenda, yeah, some of them, not all of them, yeah, was my fault is, i miss the media coverage of the background
1:37 pm
to the conflict, the history, the connections, horrible images are shown enough, but not enough information is given to the people about what led to the war and the attacks, i can hardly manage to watch all the heart, and atrocities in the reports about the war. overall, i am very skeptical about the media coverage. i have the feeling that the reporting is very one-sided, only presenting israel's perspective. i do not want to defend violence, but there is a reason why this all happened. if you can standly maltreat someone, then of course you have to expect a backlash at some point. the way israel is reacting here with such exaggeration is nothing other than genocide. i admire south africans who have the courage to collapse. israel, in austria, the media does not have the courage to do this. i feel like the news in the west is too pro israel. there is also lot of fake news on next and twitter. to better understand the situation, people should see more of the gruesome images of violence and suffering in gaza. welcome to
1:38 pm
the palestinian village of alaqaba. it's in the northern jordan valley. you think life here would be relatively simple and... and complicated for palestinians in area se uh the way that israel treats them as a hostile population, it makes them their lives as difficult as possible, those palestinian bidwin families who live in in almost about 52 communities without any kind of service,
1:39 pm
and welcome back everyone you're watching press tv world news army says is targeted an american ship in the gulf of aiden in response to us-uk strikes against the arab country. the naval forces of the yemani armed forces carried out the targeting operation against an american ship came ranger in the gulf of eden with several appropriate naval missiles resulting in direct hits. sorry you described as inevitable yemen's retaliation for aggression by the us and uk adding any new strike on yemen will not go unanswered or unpunished. yes has confirmed the attack. its ship, the pentagon says the third attack by yemenese this week on us own vessels in and around the red sea. that's a crucial shipping lane for international trade, where attentions have been spiking in the last two months. yemen has been attacking israely link ships in retaliation for the regime's
1:40 pm
genocide campaign in gaza. attentions in the red sea have escalated further in the past week after us and united kingdom began air strikes on yemen, siting what they call threats to international shipping. our correspondent abdullatif alwash ali earlier joined us from sana for more on tensions in the red sea. "even through the nine years of war that the yemanies have been facing from the satellite coalition which was backed by washington and also the uk. yemenis have never attacked any ship in the red sea, they did nothing, but now they are doing this just to protect the palestinian people to support the palestinian people who are facing genocidal war being carried out by the israeli regime. the yemen is will do this just to support the palestinian people with the yemenes did nothing for themselves, but they are doing this. the attacks for the palestinian people, if you just uh keep
1:41 pm
following the news, you will know that the just the us is attempting to turn the region into a battlefield and they are just pushing the countries of the region to fight each other as they did during seven or nine years or four by pushing saudi arabia to fight the yemeni people to kill the yemeni people and now they are just attempting to support the israeli regime by uh pushing the region into new regional war, all what they care about is only the israeli regime, why don't they just stop the war that is happening against the palestinians in gaza? this will make sure, this will of course protect the international navigation and international shipping, but they don't want to do this, they just keep attacking their many people even when they realize that these attacks will never stop uh the yemini army from attacking the israelian vessels, the attacks or the strikes of uk and the us did nothing, but they have just pushed the yemeny army to include now the american
1:42 pm
and the british ships in the red sea and the gulf of eden, so why would they do such thing when they know that it will not be successful according to their statements? meanwile thousands of people hit the streets of yemen's northern city of saada to voice support for palestinians in the wake of israel's genocidal war on gaza. demonstrators wave palestinian and yemeny flags chanting us is mother of terrorism and slogan's a reminder of washington's unequivocal support for israel as well as its aggression against yemen. protesters also samed us move to redesignate yemen's ancer of movement as a terrorist group. for weeks yemenese have been holding nationwide rallies every'. friday and it shows support for the people of gaza, and
1:43 pm
as we just said the us has relisted yemensterila movement as a global terrorist group over attacks against israelling ships in the red sea. yemeny citizens though have spoken about the us move as well as ongoing strikes by washington and london against their country. they can hit as much as they want. we are ready to support the palestinian cause on. until the last breath, we, along with the generations after us, will continue to confront them. their repeated attacks will never deter us. america has been striking us for a long time. the aggression against us is veiled under the name of the saudi and emirati aggression, but america has been bombing us for a long time. this decision is a political move to cover up israel's crimes, claiming that we are a terrorist group is to justify the air strikes on. this decision is not new, it's not an objective decision and
1:44 pm
is not based any real evidence, because this decision was made before. this classification was approved during the era of former us president trump, then the hutis were removed from the terrorist. this proves that it was decision that was not based on practical reality, rather, this indicates that the us makes these decisions to blackmail people and to use the decision like sword against anyone. who stands against american and israeli interests, this classification on the list of terrorism is under our feet, we don't care about it, we have fought wars for nine years and from the first day we have been attacked by the us, israel and britain, and this is not counting their agents from the arab countries. we say to them, if ansarulah are classified as a terrorist group, then what about israel? what about the us that kills innocent palestinian children and that destroys home? above their residence, what do we say about them? are they not our arab brothers and is palestine not arab like us?
1:45 pm
isn't it our right to stand up and defend our palestinian people with all we've got? palestinians are our brothers and we will not be silent about them and we will not let them down. earlier this week, iran's islamic revolution guard core fired a barrage of missiles and an espinage center, the israeli spy agency, the most... in the iraqi kurdistan region and one of the people killed in that operation was a kurdish multimillionaire oil tycoon pishral majid and now photos obtained by press tv establish his musad connections and how he was vital cog in the israeli spy agencies operations in iraqi kurdistan, mainly against iran. one of the photos shows dizahi had close ties with musad with the zionist rabbi at event held to celebrate the jewish festival of young kiper. another photo shows them besides mosad agent ilan nisim as well as hosan yazdon commander
1:46 pm
of an anti-iran terrorist group. according to inform sources, ilan was key musad. officer who coordinated agencies operations in iran and iraqi kurdistan, the sources say ilan was also killed in that irgc attack along with four other members of his espionage team. these had made a fortune from illegal exports of iraqi oil to the israeli regime. he also headed falcon group conglomerate with business interests and security, oil, gas, construction, and agriculture. the iranian military has launched day two of defense trails marked by a variety of exercises. maneuvers featured operations using air defense systems to counter electronic and cyber attacks. participating troops practice shooting down targets at low altitude, using for first time domestically developed short-range air defense system called the ninth of day. the units involved in the
1:47 pm
drills also use drones to electronically disrupt radars as well as air reconnaissance systems. maneuvers all also involved intelligence satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles and air defense radars. intelligence gathering systems were used as well to spot and take out mock enemy targets. the drills are carried out jointly by the iranian army and iran's islamic revolution guard core, the irgc. now over to the us where elections season is just around the corner with far more dread than hope. now many believe there will be even more turmoil this november than back in 2020 with wide spread concerns about election-related violence, as romy mozaher reports. the united states election campaign has just officially begun 10 months before going to the voting booth. in iowa, ex-president donald trump easily won the
1:48 pm
republican parties kickoff to primary season, but he's still as controversial as ever. openly claimed that his return to the white house would produce civil war, retribution tribunals, dictatorship, and even worse. in new hampshire, a revolt against the democratic national committee means local democrats will soon hold a primary which has been stripped of its delegates. that helps reflect the deep dissatisfaction within the party towards president joe biden. many wonder if the previous elections. unprecedented political activism and months of chaos will return. yeah, 2020 was crazy, hope it's not as intense as that. i think 2024 is going to look like 1968, the parallels are uncanning, chicago convention etc. etc. i think very good chance biden will pull out in the first quarter of this year
1:49 pm
and not be the nominee, so think anything, anything and everything will happen. with both candidates have. such high disapproval ratings and amid such economic, political and military disaster, it's widely expected that both candidates will run extremely negative campaigns. i'm expecting a brutal campaign, they they're all garbage in in some way or another and uh hope for the best uh for the country. mean, how i end up voting, guess is my own particular decision when the time comes, but uh, certainly don't like where the countries. that today. biden's support for israel's latest war on gaza has deeply angered his critical base of young voters. many muslim and arab americans have vowed to not cast vote for biden. either group could tip the balance in what polles expect to be the fourth consecutive presidential election to be decided by less than four and a half
1:50 pm
points. i think that's that's the curp tonight for joe biden. he's he's screwed up that that uh situation. so badly that you know the younger generations turned against him, and i don't see, if he continues with his stance on on gaza, i don't see like the younger generation uh coming back for his his support. the war against gaza will also drastically shape congressional elections. a recent nationwide poll found that voters prefer candidates who support a ceasefire in gaza to those who don't by a whopping two to one margin. ramin mazahari, press tv, chicago. and that's it for your latest here on press tv everyone, thank you for tuning in and goodbye for now.
