2:32 pm
kurdistan region over its anti-iran terror plots. iran's already warned israeli regime will pay heavy price for its criminal acts and joining us now from damascus says press tvs abraham wati for the latest on the ground there. hello ibrahim uh what more have you been able to uh get together and and share with us? yes danny as the israel. as sorry, as the irgc said in statement, for irgc, advisors were assassinated in this attack along with syrian colleagues who were working with them, they were living in the same building, and as you said the building is in the mid in the middle of an street with the multiple emphasis, diplomatic missions, the japanese uh residential place and the the
2:33 pm
venezuelan embassy, the south africa embassy, other embassies as well, israel keeps repeating these attacks to target civilian infrastructure, also target instant civilians of most of the times and also target some important figures like the irgc uh commanders or uh irgc members who were murder the day uh as for now uh more police were retrieved uh we heard like another three bodies were retrieved from under the rebel i just met a civilian uh who was in who is the next building uh he was terrified from the attack he said that he knew some of the uh residents there some of them were sick uh in the first floor they don't know anything about them yet. uh old some old people living there,
2:34 pm
he's been crying and trying to search for them, and that's the thing ibrahim, these attacks on civilian infrastructure, i mean it seems like they're almost a designed to uh basically instill terror in the local civilian population uh of there, you mentioned this neighbor there, have you talked to other people, and what do these things do as far as basically breach the security of the country and instill... fear in locals there exactly, israel is obviously of trying to target these civilians to to implement fear within their minds, within their hearts, they want them to fear trying to spread terror because it's the only way for them to maintain any presence in the region, they know that they are not wanted here, so instead they are trying to kill people, show them this kind of terror act
2:35 pm
just implant fear in their minds and their of hearts, but what's actually going on is these civilians? i've talked to two so far, the one i told you about, and the other one is kept saying that we believe in resistance, we will never uh back down, we will never, they will not intimidate us, we will not accept surrender, we are ready sacrifice, if this is the coast, we are ready for it, we are going to victory at the end, and we will keep supporting gazza, we will keep supporting palestine, there's nothing that israel can do, that would make us stop or stop stop supporting the resisting or not being a main member or a main the backbone of the resistance access and when there's something
2:36 pm
this hostile and act this hostile ibrahim there in a residential neighborhood what does it do as fars increase tensions in the region there? "if you please repeat the question, i'm saying this is very hostile and provocative attack by the israelis inside of residential neighborhood, we've seen images like this home all throughout gaza for the last three plus months, we haven't seen it very much in um, damascus, but now we are, so what does that do as far as you uh to our point add to regional tensions when we see this kind of act of terror taking place?" actually it's interesting what you just what you just mentioned uh gaza, one of these two civilians i have talked to said literally this is similar to what they're doing in gaza, they are demolishing residential places, residential buildings, leveling,
2:37 pm
leveling these buildings on the ground over their residence, this is the same terror act, israel is trying to spread the terror uh... to achieve one main goal is going or pushing everyone uh through regional uh war so they can drive the us also to this war um as i said civilians here specifically civil i'm talking about the the general atmosphere the civilians no one is afraid of israel uh they would never achieve their goal uh no one can intimidate us as they said before as i said and they said confirm this uh "we are here to stay, we are not leaving our country, we are not leaving our place, we will not, we will not stop supporting gaza and palestine, uh, we will always be, israel will always be the enemy, that's it, thank you, abraham, they're joining us from the explosion site, they're inactive terror by the israeli regie
2:38 pm
resulting in at least five fatalities, uh, seems like four of them have been members of euronza irgc, their military advisors at the invitation of the syrian government, meanwhile, there's been..." another attack a car in southern lebanon, there are reports and israely drone targeted the car leaving two people dead there, and for more information on that story, we're joined by our press tv correspondent out of beirot, madyam sal, hello, madiam, hope you're safe, what can you tell us with respect to this attack? well, what we do know so far that the israelis targeted either a car or a mini truck that was driving on the main road, between the two towns of in south lebanon, it was at first of course not clear who the israelis were targeting exactly, we're targeting that car, specifically, some have said that it is members of islamic resistance
2:39 pm
hamas who inside the car that was targeted, others are saying it could be hisballah members, of course the israeli media um has in some way said that there is some sort of security operation for the israelis in south lebanon usually they are quick to say that the israelis are targeting and trying to liquidate and and the and target leaders of the resistance of hazballah the last time they did that in the town of selem during the time of funeral procession of the commander wisam they said they target the head of the drones force, but it was not the leader and the commander of of was member of hazballah's resistance, but it was not one of main commanders, today also we might be hearing the same symphony from the israelis and it seems to be definitely part of their new str
2:40 pm
which we've seen beginning with the assassination of the hamas leader sheikh salahuri and after that we have the assassination of haj wisan tawel who was of course commander in hazbollah, of course the israelis are continuously being targeted by the resistance by hazbollah and we see that more statements of resistance are talking about direct directly targeting soldiers and so it seems that the losses that are being inflicted against the israeli soldiers specifically, not only their barracks and the the casualties that are being caused to their own post, it's not only that and their devices, there are also many soldiers that are falling either wounded or killed, and we heard from secretary general, we're not talking about double the number that these. have admitted to in their media, and not even triple, some are even saying it is times four
2:41 pm
or times five, there's a huge blockout on the number of israeli soldiers that are falling from the israeli side as a result of hazballah's continuous operations, of course hezbulah does not claim how many they have killed, they only say that of course they targeted the israeli soldiers, yesterday they even used burcan rockets in order to target movement and deployment of israeli soldiers. not only inside the barracks, but surrounding the barks or near certain baracks, between two different baracks, or whenever they are in movement, hasas has made it clear that they will definitely be targeting them, we've seen in their footage as well how they have definitely seen the ambulances of the israeli army, also taking those soldiers away from the post, so it seems that the israelis because of these losses, they are unable to really pinpoint sometimes where the hezballah members are, they do seem to... have some information, so this is why they were able to target this car, it's not clear what these
2:42 pm
two were members of hamas or hezbullah, we do know that hamas is also active in south lebanon whether with the logistics support and they are always in coordination with the resistance of hizbullah, but they are also instances of rocket firing from south lebanon by either hamas or other lebanese resistance factions like alfajar close to the muslim brotherhood and so if we do have the could be, yes and before let you go, um, after sheikh martedom, what did hiz sayid, say exactly about israel, the regime targeting resistance fighters on lebanese soil, well it seems that firstballah's resistance, it doesn't make any difference whether it is lebanese fighter or palestinian fighter, and so with the first assassination of course conducted. against made it into two folds, it was double aggression against lebanon, first
2:43 pm
of all, a direct assassin of a leader of the resistance of generally the resist front we're talking about, who is member of hamas and someone who is has strong links to the resistance to hazballah and resistance, but it is also violation and a clear aggression against lebanese sovereignty as well, so this is why hasbullah secretary general made it clear that there will definitely be a punishment, there will be a retaliation and it will be on several folds and we don't even know if the case is closed yet, we know that there was the main retaliation in mayron and they said that this was only just a preliminary first uh retaliation, there were other retaliations as well, other very significant operations for the resistance, and they said that this is in continuation of this aggression against lebanon and the assassination of leaders in lebanon, and so it seemed that they have put put the leaders whether in hamas or in hizballah into one front all together and hizbillah has
2:44 pm
definitely made it an obligation for itself to retaliate for uh both sides and so we see several operations we might even see other operations now in order to retaliate not only of course for the assassinations but also for the continuous aggressions that are being committed inside thank you madiam i'm sure we'll check back with you shortly as soon as we find out more about this uh latest act of terror by the israel regime on lebanese soil southern bayroot their press tv correspondent updating us from bayroot meanwile 106 days into israeli war on gaza and the regime continues carpet bombing the coal enclave the gaza health ministry says 165 palestinians have been killed and nearly 300 others wounded in the past 24 hours. overall death tool from the regime's war has now risen to nearly 25,00, more than 62, and others have been wounded and there are thousands still missing and presume buried under the rubble
2:45 pm
their homes. israel continues pounding residential buildings and refugee camps with bombs and areas it had said would be safe. now hospitals are overwhelmed throughout the besieg territory with people literally waiting on floors for medical care. the deadly raids are being conducted while the coastal territory is under near total communications blackout imposed by tel aviv. us uh managed israely genocide in gaza continues with new un figures indicating women are among the main victims of the regime's deadly carnage. according to the un entity for gender equality and empowerment of women, also known as un women, out of the nearly 25,000 people killed in gaza, over 70% are women and children. a 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 displaced people in gaza,
2:46 pm
half of them are women and girls. the un women also estimates that at least 3,000 women who may have become widows. or heads of households are in urgent need of protection and food assistance. now the figure by the agency comes as a nothing has been done to address the crisis concerning the women of gaza. according to figures, just 0.9% of un funding has been directed to national or local women's organizations. the united nations says israel's detained thousands of palestinians in gaza since early october when the regime launched. its onslot on gaza. during my time here, i managed to meet a number of release detainees. these are men who were detained by the israeli security forces in unknown locations. for between 30 to 55 days. they described being beaten, humiliated, subjected ill treatment and to
2:47 pm
what may amount to torture. they reported being blindfolded for long period. some of them for several consecutive days. i don't see any, so let's go said palestinians are detained in horrific conditions. he said he personally heard accounts of release detainees who said they're beaten up and humiliated. now the commissioner also urged to release of those held without charge and called for a transparent probe into all instances of torture by israel. multiple release palestinian detailing he said that they were transferred in trucks to open-air prisons where they suffer different. forms of maltreatment, took me to the truck and the truck was crowded with detail needs, 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
2:48 pm
beat us while we were tied up. free prisoners also said that they were threatened to be shot and forced to install palestinian groups and political figures. such accounts are backed by footage released by israeli troops on social media that shows their mistreatment of prisoners. videos often show blindfolded palestinians, among them a number of women and children. south african politician and youth activist mohammed khalid sayid spoke to us earlier about. genocide in gaza, he also explains why he thinks regime is imposing an allow communications blackout buse, this is a genocide, the pictures 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,
2:49 pm
and we want to commend them for that, without iran, this particular axis. '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 uh 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 it as part of
2:50 pm
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 forces have carried out fresh raids on several areas of the occupied west bank including a refugee camp near alcots. ogins troops clashed with palestinians during raid on the shufat camp. they abducted several palestinians there. there was another israely raid on the balata refugee camp near nablus, the military wing the islamic jihad resistance movement says its fighters from nabulas confronted israeli forces at the camp, another palace. and armed faction, the alaxamarters brigades also reported confrontation with regime troops. since october 7th, israel's intensified raids and arrests throughout much of the occupied
