fortunately they were among the markers right and this is a completely civilian area and what is the vicinity that the story says there are diplomatic missions so this is mostly a civilian area but there are also what some embassies there yeah several embassies as i said before also the for example one of the embassies um the south africa embassy which as you know they filed suit case against israel at the i uh dj uh it's three buildings behind the behind the the target building, only three buildings away - among other embassies in the area as well, so it was a high risk that they could have damaged any embassy or attack any other embassy, also the embassies around the area reported some material damages like you know glass was broken, some minor material damages so... you mentioned that we know two people,

two of the people of the five people killed are um with advisors with the irgc, do we know if they were there with their entire families, if they were alone, do we know the other three um fatalities who they may have been or what relation they may have had with the irgc advisers, abraham uh at the moment of there's no confirmed information, what i've seen, what i've seen when i arrived uh there are multi or many let's say uh civilians around the scene at the moment of the explosion, many civilians came after looking for their relatives in the building, we've seen some emotional cases, people were crying, were shouting, they were searching for their relatives, but as for the irgc advisors, no confirmation or no information in actually say at the moment that they were with their families, the initial... the

initial scene, the initial footage of the scene and what we've seen from the people, the advisors were were mostly alone there, only the two advisers. right and do we know um ibrahim at this point you mentioned it was a three-story building completely leveled do we know if anyone managed to survive the blast and if there other families in that building at the time of the explosion there were other families and at the building unfortunately and so far no survivors only uh only marters at the moment uh search team are still searching the rescue team are searching for the survivors but uh and that i know it's a bit far from there, i've been there like a minute ago, it doesn't seem that anyone could survive this. okay, for viewers that are just joining us, you can see building is leveled on the ground. okay, we're talking to our reporter, abraham for viewers that are just

uh uh tuning in, there's been an explosion in the syrian capital, damascus a3 story building completely leveled by the israeli regime, at least five people are disc there are also injuries, we do not exactly know how many at this point uh, but we know that two the deceased um are um two advisors with iran's uh revolutionary guard core military advisors in syria at the invitation of the syrian uh government, this is a one in a series of dozens upon dozens of attacks by the israelis against the sovereign state of a syria gross violation of international law attacking syrian soil, the government and damascus has appealed numerous times to the un security council to put an end to these gross fiolations of its sovereignty by the regime there in tel aviv, all to no avail. um so we're going to follow this story very

closely here on press tv. thank you abraham, we'll get back to you, try to find out as much as you can for us, in the meantime, abraham, press tv correspond the're joining us. from uh syria, these are the latest pictures you can see for our uh international viewers of the syrian capital damascus, these are not live pictures you can see, but they are uh fresh in uh from the uh damascus um uh from from assyrian capital damascus where a um a three-story building has been leveled resulting in at least five uh fatalities uh you want to give us a one more uh recap ibrahim you mentioned uh said razi musavi also martured by the

israelis and the uh sayid zenab uh shrine nowhere near the syrian capital so we know that there the israel is in violation of the syrian uh sovereignty. have carried out all over syria similar strikes uh targeting people that are there uh that are friends of syria that are there at the invitation of the syrian government and in the role of helping the country fight off form back terrorists that were trying to take over the damascus government for over 10 years is that right? exactly um let's let's go back a little bit in time uh few years ago uh if you remember, samir al qantar was responsible for the logistic support for the popular resistance in the jolan area, was also assassinated the same way in his apartment in jaramana, which

is in damascus countryside, also in the same neighborhood, few years also like two to three years ago they the israelies also attacked the same area. something also destroyed a building, the second, i remember they destroyed the second floor of one building to kill to assassinate a palestinian faction leader, they couldn't kill him, they killed his son, unfortunately, as also lately happened, the the last assassination of mart commander in the vicinity of say. town uh also same uh targeting a residential uh residential uh building where they're targeting we can see pattern here they are targeting the place of residence of uh everyone they want to assassinate they're not

targeting them at their work uh at let's say a military base or something they always target a residential area uh where it's where it put lot of civilians lives at risk, they don't care about that, they just want to assassinate, and as we said also before, the uh the... israel regime now at the moment is stuck, there's the only way for them is to ignite a war, other than that there will be sacrificed in any political any potential political settlement. all we can see at the moment is that netanyahu sees the only way of his his political survivor is to ignite regional war, and you can see there on the bottom of your screen there is really try. has killed two irgc military advisers paul part of this blast that has leveled this uh

three-story building there in the uh meza neighborhood of the syrian capital says days after iran targeted a masad base in iraq's kurdistan region of um arbial now uh ibrahim we've seen uh the israelis violate uh uh basically the sovereignty of lebanon and syria multiple times targeting resistance uh leaders on lebanese soil on syria. so this could be seen very as very provocative and possibly aimed as you mentioned increasing the uh conflict that it's in with the palestinians beyond gaza. we can see uh lately if you can see the we have also six marters from the islamic jihad in syria who participated in operation uh because syria has been supporting palestinian resistance uh since you the beginning of the resistance, also lebanon, like they when when they

targeted also, it used to be safe place for resistance to stay, the because of the equation that hisbullah set there, to protect them, israel basically not only violated the sovereignty of these countries, lebanon and... syria, they are also breaking the rules of engagement, they want to set a new rules of engagement or or not leave any rules of engagement at all. i think it's up to the resident, the access of resistance to set or reset these rules of engagement, every act must met with the punishment, if this is an act of terrorism, this is a crime, they targeted, not only uh, if let's say the... targets were the the the two irgc advisers, this isn't only assassination attempt, it's

also violation violation of the international laws, it's also a violation of the sovereignty of state and independent state, syria, it happens before, it will happen again if there's no stop to it, there must be severe decisive punishment to stop the israelis right, and we know that there is really not just the uh zenab the say the zeinab shrine that resulted in general, but also even before that, there were multiple strikes near the assyrian damascus airport. a couple of times, so there have been frequent air strikes by the israelis and and often on

the syrian capital near in a civilian infrastructure, these attacks has been continuing continuing uh since 2014 or 15, i think the since the you know the crisis, the seran crisis, but uh they've increased in the past three years. and if we made a quick statistic, we take a quick statistic, we can find that over regardless of the period from the october the 7th until now, before that, if we took a quick look at the statistics, we may see that more than 30 or between 30 to 40% of these attacks were targeting the the international airports in specific and als civilian structure, civilian infrastructure, sometimes in syria they attack tataki airport

once or twice, actually they'll attack they attacked alipo international airport several times, mostly damascus international airport and also civilian areas, these assassinations however takes these assassinations take different shape, it's rarely to attack in the... part of the city, unless it's an assassination, this is why i said in the beginning, it seems like assassination, because it targeted a neighborhood, a civilian neighborhood inside ' the uh inside the the city, inside the capital right, and basically when it comes to the israel regime's neighbors, it's basically violated the sovereignty, it seems of all of its neighbors, we know what it's done to the palestinians over 75 years and it continues to do, then we have the lebanese, you have the syrians, is there anyone that's near the regime that is happy with them as a neighbor,

definitely no, they are attacking everyone, the only people that even with with egypt for example, if you read the news lately there were there was a clashes at the border, sometimes even you've seen every once in a while some egyptian soldier cross the border and attack and is really bad troll because the people don't want them, the only way to have peace in this area is to it's for them to go to to to leave, other than that there's no way because they... are not here to do any, they are not here to make peace, they are here to control, to invade, to to to invade and occupy, this is their doctrine, their creed, the only way to do this is by killing us, we are the natives, we are not going anywhere, we are still here and we will defend our country, we will defend our

region, they are outsiders, they've been implanted here, over 70 years ago uh they've been killing, they've been uh invading and occupying, so no one would ever accept their presence in the area. okay, thank you abraham, stay in close contact with us, find out if you can as much as possible, the're on the ground, there's a developing stories, we want to keep ourselves and our viewers completely up to date on what's going on over there, for viewers uh tuning in, there has been an explosion there in the syrian capital damascus, a three-story building has been leveled by the israely. regime in a densely populated civilian neighborhood of damascus, the mesa neighborhood resulting in at least five fatalities, the complete structure was annihilated, there were families involved, at least two of the deceased that have been martered are um to advisor of the islamic uh republic uh guard court, that's all we know at this point as soon as we find out more we'll get you updated accordingly here on

press tv. meanwhile 106 days into the israeli war on gaza and the regime continues with carpet bombing campaign throughout the besieg territory. gaza health ministry says 165 palestinians have been killed and over 280 wounded in the past 24 hours alone. overall death tool from the regime's uh genocidal war is risen now to nearly 25,000. more than 62,000 have been wounded and thousands are still missing and presume buried under rubble their homes. israel continues bombing residential buildings and refugee camps and areas that it said would be safe, hospitals are also overwhelmed throughout the besege enclave with people literally waiting on floors for medical care. deadly rays are being conducted while the coastal territory is under near complete communications blackout imposed by the regime in tel aviv. as the us uh managed israely genocide in gaza

continues new un figures indicate women are among the main victims of the regime's deadly carnage. according to un entity for gender equality and empowerment of women, also known as un women, out of the nearly 26,00 or 25,00 people killed in gaza, some uh 70% are women and children, un women says two mothers are killed every single hour by the israeli regime's bombing and shelling campaign. agency says out of nearly two million internally displays people in gaza, half of them are women and girls. you and women also estimates at least 3,000. women who may become widows or heads of households are in urgent need of protection and food assistance, figures by the agency come as nothing has been done to address the crisis concerning the women of gaza, according to figures, just 0.09% of un funding has been directed to national or local women's organizations. the un says israel's detained

thousands of palestinians in gaza since early oc over when the regime launched its onslot on the besieged enclave. during my time here, i managed to meet a number of released detainees. these are men who were detained by the israeli security forces in unknown locations for between 30 to 55 days. they describe being beaten, humiliated, subjected ill treatment and to what may amount to torture. they reported, being blindfolded for long periods, some of them for several consecutive days. i don't see any, so let's go to the platform. sing said palestinians are detained in horrific conditions. he said he personally heard accounts of release detanees who said they're beaten up and humiliated. the commissioner also urged the release of those held without charge and call for transparent probe into all instances of

torture by israel. multiple released palestinian detainees say they're transferred in trucks to open air prisons where they suffered different forms of mal-treatment. they took me to the truck and the truck was crowded with detainees, 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 asphalt. it 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. the free prisoners also said that they were threatened to be shot and forced to insult palestinian groups and political figures, such account. were backed by footage released by israeli troops on social media that shows the mistreatment of prisoners. videos often show blind folded palestinians among them a number of women and

children. south african politician and youth activist mohammed khalid said has spoken to us about the israeli genocide in gaza and he explains why he believes regime is imposing and all out communications blackout. buse this is genocide the picture. are here, the death toll 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 axis giving support to the suffering people of gaza, the resistance in gaza will not be possible, the aim of the israeli regime in 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 benim and does not always even think... nationally even in terms 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 it as part of that, but they do not understand that this is simply backfiring, it's making the israeli regime yet again look like a regime that wants to close out each and every communication. israel forces have carried out fresh raids of several areas of the occupied west bank including a refugee camp near

alcots. regime troops clashed with palestinians during raid on shufag camp. they abducted several of the palestinians there. there is also an israeli raid on the balata refugee camp near nabl military wing islamic jihad resistance movement says its fighters from napolis confronted israeli forces. another palestinian armed faction, the al-axsa martter's brigades also reported confrontation with regime troops there. now since october 7th, israel's intensified its raids and arrests across much of the occupied territories, regime forces withdrew from a refugee camp in the city of tukaram on friday after raiding several locations there for almost two days. the raid left eight palestinians dead. and left a trail of destruction, the israeli army comes to kill, not to detain or arrest wanted people, no, they come to kill young people, old people,

animals or inanimates, if they see a shadow of a cat, they'll kill it, at the beginning the rate they entered this house and they stayed in it, there was a window there and they were observing through it, more soldiers joined them and they raided the area and destroyed houses, dozens of palestinians have been abducted during two-day raid onto a car arm refugee camp, according to an advocacy group palestinian prisoners club, some of those detained were severely beaten by israeli forces. since early october, israel's military and settlers have carried out number of incursions into different areas of the west bank almost a daily basis, killing and arresting palestinians during these raids. and before we uh sign off we have breaking news which share with you according to the um islamic uh revolutionary guard core four military advisors have been martured there

and israel strike in the syrian capital damascus, a three-story home has been leveled, five fatalities have taken place for those, seems like i've been irgc advisers there at the invitation of the syrian government, as soon as we get the story developed, we'll get it out to you in your next broadcast here on press tv, for now it's a goodbye. i am edward said. i was born in 1935 into a christian family. most of my family left jerusalem because they had to, and it was an area that fell to the hagana in i think february of 1948. idea of being a fugitive is

just like being affected by leprosy. all palestinians feel the same sense of exile. the charge which created outrage when it was first raised, i think um, they tried to uh dub des racist thing, but you see, unfortunately, i think there is something in it. so for him, the writing of orientalism was actually shaped by his engagement with the question of palestine. our homeland was lost in history and right in front of people's eyes.
