prisons where they suffered different forms of maltreatment. they took me to the truck and the truck was crowded with detainies. they practiced the worst types of torture on us. it was rainy night, so they took us to northern area and put us on the asfalt. it in was raining hard and it was cold. we stayed in the rain for more than an hour. and they beat us while we were tied up. a free prisoners also said they were threatened to be shot and forced to insult palestinian groups and political figures. such accounts are backed by footage released by israely troops on social media that shows the maltreatment of prisoners. videos often show blindfolded palestinians among them, women and children. and israel continues targeting

and youth activist muhammad khalid said spoke to us earlier about israely genocide in gaza and try to explain why the regime is imposing a complete communications blockout buse this is genocide the pictures are here the death tell speaks to it but even within that context the people of gaza and the resistance and hamas in particular have put up a brave fight and they continue to resist. "and we want to commend them for that, without iran, this particular access, giving support to the suffering people of gaza and the resistance in gaza will not be possible. the aim of the israeli regime in carrying out this particular blackout is so that they can

suppress the information coming out of gaza, so that their crimes, their atrocities, their genocide, cannot be sent out to the rest of the world, but..." still the information is at our disposal, so that's their objective, but also, you know, um, crazy regimes like the israeli regime, especially the one led by benjamin netanyahu does not always even think rationally, even in terms of their own interest, yes, the interest is to obliterate, to flatten gaza, to kill each and every palestinian living in gaza, but the blocking out of communication, they see... as part of that, but they do not understand that this is simply backfiring, it's making the israeli regime yet again look um like a regime that wants to close out each and every communication. israel and hezballah

sumaka, that area it seem there was movement for soldiers, hazbil assad, they attacked them with the use of a burkan rocket, they also us the burkan rocket in, this is another post for the israelis, but not in occupied lebanese territory, it's in occupied palestinian territory, and it's they also use burkan in that instance as well, it seems has been using the burkan rocket more often in the latest round of confrontations, but we also have other operations where they conducted also other resistance operations in certain areas, we do know from the israeli media they have shot down as they say a drone which flew from lebanese territory, hazbullah has not denied or claimed any responsibility on that, but they said that it was flying close to area which was in ha. it could have been a huzballah, it could be, it could have

been from hazballah to towards a strategic area and haifa could have also been something from the iraki resistance since we know that they are quite active in that arena as well, we know that there was explosion recently uh and near the uh oil uh refineries and in haifa. islamic resistance in iraq claims responsibility for downing a us military drone over northern iraq a thursday. group send a statement it shot down the mq9 reaper drone over diala province. according to the statement aircraft was coming from a us airbase in kuwait. development comes in mid height and tensions and simmery anti-american sentiments throughout the region. over the past months, iraqi resistance forces have carried out number of attacks against american bases, both in iraq and neighboring syria on an almost daily basis. this in response to the us support for israely genocide in gaza. a plot hatched by zinis, to

occupy, to disintegrate. and to plunder palestine. this documentary tells in five parts. how the israeli regime kickstarted its sinister project in palestinian lans through the gradual strategy of settling the so-called jewish colonies. welcome back everyone, you're watching press tv, world news. yemenese from all walks of life have gathered in the capital sonna and other cities to condemn a move by the us to redesignate the ansterlo movement. as a terrorist group. they also reaffirmed support for palestinians in gaza facing an israeli

genocide campaign. press tv's abdullatif alwashalli has your story. thousands of yemanies have filled the streets of the capital sanna and other major cities to slam the us blacklisting of the ansarullah movement. the protesters also expressed their continuous support for the yemeni army's operations in the red sea and gulf of aden. we came here today and 70 uh square to send a big message to the sahiuni, israelian, american and british, we have a good weapon to make you under the sea, not under the ground under the sea, the yemeni people and the whole world know who america is, its entire history is full of terrorism, murder, crime, corruption, support for criminals and the production of weapons for more. killing, there is nothing clearer than the crimes committed by israel and america in the gaza

strip with no less than 240 marters every day, not to mention the wounded and the missing. therefore, for america to classify any group in the world as terrorist is very silly and it cannot be believed by rational person. officials say the recent us move is in line with washington's support for the israeli regime and its atrocities in gaza. they say the us is endangering the region. to protect the israeli regime which clearly exemplifies terrorism. it's a great honor for us that the sponsor and the founder of terrorism, which has killed countless people around the world and use its atomic bombs in hiroshima and nakazaki and kill hundreds of thousands there, is the one that classified us as terrorists, but we represent the most honorable position from moral and humanitarian standpoint. america's recent designation is in line with its support for the israeli genocidal war against palestinians in gaza. we stand with palestine

and will not back down from this position. in response to the yemani army's relentless attacks against israeli linked vessels in the rid sea, the us has announced the redesignation of the ansarullah movement as a terrorist group. the group has been stepping up its military operations against american and the british ships and the red sea and the gulf of aden. the us and uk launched attacks on yemen following its move to target. israeli link ships in retaliation for the regime's genocide in gaza. despite the strikes by the us and the uk, people have gathered here to prove their point. they say they are not afraid of new war and are ready for all options. they also believe that the us is the god's father of terrorism and has no right to designate any of the resistance movements as a terrorist group. anty. central initiatives have begun in italy's northern city of vichenza as the 70th edition of the

city's pretigious gold and diamond industry fair kicks off. now protest have been staged in response to a high number of israeli jewelry dealers being present at the fair. placed in italy's wealthy northeast, vichensa is known for being the country's capital of gold and for an international gold and jewelry industry fair which has been running for 70 years. this year's edition has seen a number of anti-israel initiatives organized across the city. on friday, a protest was held in the vicinity of the trade fair premises and protest to tel aviv's massacres against the civilians in gaza. israel, one of the diamond world's leading centers occupied an entire pavilion for its dealers at the jewelry boutique showcase. israel's diamond exports have increased even in the past months. even when the regime is committing a genocide against the palestinians. israel's

diamonds are derenched in blood. tel aviv steals the precious gems from african countries such as congo, sudan and iwary coast using children as the easiest source of cheap labor. protesters outside vicenza's jewelry industry fair are saying that most people don't know that the diamond industry is a main source of funding for the israeli military. they argue that israeli blood diamonds have bankrawled the mass murder of over 24,000 gazans. since early october, most of whom were women and children. pichensa has been hosting rallys in response to israeli jewelry dealers participating in its international gold fair for nearly two decades. we are against having the israelies at the vicenza gold fair. it's immoral for everybody and mostly for our city. doing business with a country that is standing

before the international court of justice is dishonorable. a country that is committing genocide now as we. speak, what's the difference between our dits and the ukrainian dets? also on friday, a public assembly was held in central vicenza. the initiative was attended among the others by italian healthcare workers were in gaza during the bombing carried out by israeli regime in the past months. on saturday, vichensa will also host the rail in solidarity with the besieged palestinians. max chivili, press tv, vicenza. "a pro- palestinian demonstration has been held in austrian capital vienna amid ongoing israeli genocide in gaza. our correspondent has asked participants there, what they think the ongoing is really bloodshed and us strikes on yemen? i think um the us's standcil involvement is a disgrace and um,

you know, not only are they happy to support israel uh..." both vocally and materially with with weapons and money and arms, but they're actually now uh preventing yemen or and those countries that are are actively supporting uh palestine or actively trying to preventuh the genocide and i'm very very disappointed in the western politics right now and what they're doing including austria and america and germany and so on and how no matter how many times they uh condone genocide um just for nothing and like on blank papers and as many times as they say that all equal all lives matter equally they show their true thoughts and their intentions when they start bombing gamen and when they ship bombs to palestine and when mike pence uh signs bombs that are going to be deployed and like exploded in gaza and that children

are killed with and the recent developments in the middle east and american involvement and american imp imperialism and the middle east is very concerning and particularly the bombing of yemen and this sort of military strategy of bombing indiscriminately um is a respy for disaster, i don't see anything happening um that will benefit anyone apart from the exacerbation of um more conflict, more death um and continuation of what we're seeing in in gaza at the moment which is... um the us acting completely irresponsibly in terms of um protecting lives, the safety of civilians. a group of 60 democrats in the us house of representatives have urged the government to reject in their words the forced and permanent displacement of palestinians from gaza. group made the call a letter to the secretary of state anthony

blincon comments her reaction to recent figures that show nearly two million people are internally displaced. in the gaza strip due to the israeli onslot. that's over 80% of the territory's population and far right israely ministers want many of them to be permanently expelled from their homes. u.s. lawmakers also asked the government to make clarifications on a request to provide over $14 billion dollars in new security and other aid to israel. request is a despite pressure on the government to including from inside congress to halt armed sales to the regime over its brutal campaign in gaza. in the us, the election season is just around the corner, but with far more dread than hope, many believe there will be even more turmole this november than back in 2020 with wide spread concerns over election related violence. rami mahari has more on the story.

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 republican party's kickoff to primary season, but he's still as controversial as ever. many openly claim 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 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 and not be the nominee, so think anything, anything and everything will happen. with both candidates having 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 country's at today. biden support for... 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 dip the balance in what poles expect to be the fourth consecutive presidential election to be decided by less than four and a half points. i think that's that's the crip tonight for joe biden, he's he's screwed up that that uh situation so badly that the younger generation. is 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. iranian military has kick. off to secondary defense drills marked by variety of exercises. maneuvers featured operations

using air defense systems to counter electronic and cyber attacks. units involved in the drills also use drones to electronically disrupt radars as well as air reconnaissance systems. participating troops practice shooting down t lo altitudes for first time using a domestically developed short-range air defense system called the ninth of day, are using nohed system in bulk, that is new anti-cruise missile system, of course it has passed its operational tests for more than year, maneuvers also involved intelligent satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles and air defense raiders. intelligence uh gathering systems were also used as well to spot and take out mock enemy targets. the drills have been carried out jointly by the iranian army and iran's islamic revolution guard core. that's it for

your latest here on press tv everyone. thanks for joining us and goodbye for now.

i believe that uh working together we can make a street.

10 years of chaos and war in syria. the ruins

left in syria, who benefits from the continuation of this war? what is the view of the west, particularly america towards war in syria and the support of many countries for creating chaos in syria? why syria, a different narrative?
