of israel's spy agency, the musad in iraq's kurdistan region over its anti-iran terror plots. iran has already warned that the israeli regime will pay heavy price for its criminal acts. of course one of damascus ibrahim wadhi tells us more about the latest israely terrorist attack that led to the martidom of several iranian military advisers ministry of. issued a statement lately saying that at 10:20 am this this morning the israeli enemy carried out an air aggression from the direction of occupied syrian jolan targeting residential building in a neighborhood the building was completely destroyed the explosion caused also material damage to the neighboring buildings the neighborhood itself has uh several diplomatic
7:33 pm

7:34 pm
in the fight against terrorism and provide peace and stability in the region. kanani said tehran reserves is right to respond to what he called israel's organized crimes. the of palestinian resistance moved hamas also slamed the terrorist act saying such actions by the zionist regime will never stop the resistance movements from continuing to support the palestinians. the palestinian islamic jihad strongly condemned the attack saying the salt was part of israel's efforts to make up for its defeat. it also said the regime is seeking to expand the gaza onslot to the entire region. political commentator ali risk says the israeli attack in syria shows that the regime is seeking to further escalate the ongoing situation as israely of officials talk of the third phase of his gaza onslot. israelis appear intent on escalating the situation further, i think netanyahu in
7:35 pm
particular and i think it's important to note as well that uh when they talk about the third phase, the israelis, the americans and the israelis, but the israelis in particular, i think that what the... is having mind for the third phase doesn't early include withdrawing or low intensity conflict in gaza, but at the same time that includes further escalation beyond that particular front to hit other areas and escalate in other areas, and i believe that there was a assassination just after this operation targeting some palestinian officials, if i'm not mistaken in south lebanon, so there appears to be as i said in israely plan to... escalate more broadly in the so-called third phase. 106 days into the israely war on the gaza strip, the regime continues with his carpet bombing campaign across the besieg palestinian territory. the gaza health ministry says 165 palestinians have been
7:36 pm
killed and 280 others wounded in the past 24 hours. the overall death doll from the regime's war has risen to nearly 25,000, more than 62. thousand others have been wounded and thousands are still under the rubble of their homes. israel keeps bombing residential buildings and refugee camps in areas that had said that it would be safe. hospitals are overwhelmed across the beseach territory with people literally waiting on the floor for medical staff to intervene and save them. the deadly raids are being conducted while the coastal territory is under near total communications blackout imposed by tel aviv. "people around the world have held rallies to express solidarity with the palestinians in the besieg gaza strip. people in the italian city of rome are no exception with ralliers calling for immediate end to the u.s. israely genocide in gaza. max chively is a
7:37 pm
correspondent standing by who's join us joining us now to tell us more about the rallies uh of where he is at. well max, i see you there on the scene, tell us what you're witnessing and uh what are..." people saying: well, hi everybody, i'm in vichensa, which is in the northeast of italy, it's a small town of about 60,000 inhabitants, and people from vicenza, from the nearby city of padua, from turaine and from other italian towns and villages have gathered here uh, to calling for an end of the israeli genocide in gaza. and calling for uh the italian government to finally stop supporting uh uh tel aviv uh, i'd say about 10,00 people, maybe more than that uh are here uh the rally started about a couple of hours ago um many banners and
7:38 pm
placads reading uh from palestine to yemen, we are with the resistance uh and reading also boycott israel uh... yesterday here in in vicenza, an international gold and jewelry uh industry fair uh kicked off, it's a a prestigious event uh which uh which has been going on for about 70 years, but people at the rally are saying let's boycot the fair because it hostts pavion which has been occupied by israeli retailers, and they are saying that the... diamond market is one is a main source of funding of the israeli military, they're saying that blood stained diamonds have uh bank rolled the the the the massacre of more than 24,000 palestinians,
7:39 pm
mostly women and children, so they are all calling for a boycott of the initiative, this morning there's been uh... heavy clashes between those who oppose the fair and the italian police that's been arrest, there's been people wounded and uh yeah, i'd say that vichenza is really standing with the palestions. when you take a look at the way that the people are coming out supporting the palestinians, are they shocked at the fact that uh the government is not having... louder voice uh at least when it comes to the genocide that's taking place in order to try to do something uh to prevent it, even if it means making statements? absolutely, absolutely. they were all uh against particularly against the media, they say that the media are not portraying the conflict as
7:40 pm
it is, they are not telling the truth, and so the international community is not taking a position, a clear position because of the media uh, and they talk... about the media being uh accomplished of of israel um the people that are behind me they are now attending uh "they attending a speech from representatives of the palestinian community and they're saying exactly that that the media are playing major role in misleading in misleading the international uh public opinion on the israeli onesloat in gaza. all right, thank you very much for that, we do appreciate it. that's our correspond of mike stevily there uh talking to us from italy. thank you. following video has been released shows the aftermath of a summary execution of 15 palestinian men in gaza by israel
7:41 pm
soldiers. the horrific event took place on december 19 when israeli soldiers raided a building in gaza city. according to i winness accounts, the israeli soldiers shot 15 palestinian men in the back after stripping and torturing them and forcing them to lay front down on the ground. the trusty took place before the eyes of female members of the family who say that the incident has left. a permanent scar in their minds. the israely army subsequently shelled the building that killed a three-year-old girl. israely savagery in gaza has continued unabated for more than three months with full support of western governments, especially the us. an outrage israely mother has accused army of deliberately gassing her son to death while he was being held in a tunnel in gaza. the mother of ron sherman, one of the soldiers, held captive by hamas, said that her son was killed in a premeditated murder by the army. she slammed the cabinet of prime
7:42 pm
minister benjamin netanyahu, as well as israeli military officials. her son's body alongside two other soldiers, was recovered from a tunnel in gaza in december. the killing follows a pattern of israeli military attacks on captives in gaza that has so far led to the death of dozens of them. you mark. islamic resistance says it has launched a barrage of missiles at the us-run analasad base in western iraq. there have been no immediate reports of casualties. over the past months, iraq resistance forces have carried out attacks on american bases, both in iraq and in neighboring syria on an almost daily bases. the pentagon says this bases in iraq and syria have been attacked around 140 times since october 7. iraq's islamic resistance says the tax on response to washington's support for the israeli regime emit the gaza genocide. in israel strike in
7:43 pm
southern lebanon has left four people dead. one of the victims was member of hisbollah resistance movement. the strike targeted a car near the city of tire. the israel drone attack came at strikes by fighters from lebanon's resistance withbullah against israeli military positions in response to the ongoing israeli genocidal campaign of the besieg gaza strip. joining us from beirot to tell us more about this incident, well mariam, i think some of the facts are clear now, uh, tell us what you have, yes, it is clear now that those who were murdered in this attack, specifically are lebanese, we do have an official statement from hisballah saying that ali hudrush has uh passed away and he was one of the members of hazballah, he actually just recently... actually debated his thesis and his phd and so this is very someone who is well known in his town in his
7:44 pm
hometown in bezorie which is where the attack took place uh and he was of course uh it was basically a shock for many people he is someone who was more civilian than he is a military but he is still a member of hizbullah we are also expecting another statement soon uh to be issued by hazbullah um there are several names there is for example muhammad is one of the members of hazballah who was also most probably with him in this attack, the are other names are still not clear, of course we like we said we cannot really um say the names until hazballah really verifies and does give an official statement to we know who the murder is uh but yes as we know we do now that the one of the citizens and the natives of the town of bazuri has been killed in this attack of course this is not the first murder for hizballah and hizballah always uh considers that they declare all their marters, when they consider this part of the honor of the
7:45 pm
fight on the path of alqs as they call it, of course this comes also a time when hizballah has continued with its resistance operations and we can see today that the operations all them if not all uh most of them have been those of targeting soldiers uh we have it seems to surpassed uh the phase when they're only targeting posts or devices here now we're talking about the fact. that it seems to be now a confrontation when hazballah targets soldiers directly and the israelis are targeting uh members of the resistance and even civilians in some cases um even if they were with the... the members of hazballah in south lebanon, but we we do know that hazballah even in one instance for example used rockets directly at soldiers in near the barracks of hunin, but we also have in zaried and daira where hazbullah said in statements that they targeted soldiers, and so therefore there could there is definitely
7:46 pm
high number of losses and casualties among the israelies as well, the israeli shelling of course it has not, today is not uh stopped at all, we have huge number of of shelling and examples we have from tanks for example that continued to target the area of majidi, which is also a place which is not usually being targeted, but the town of odai specifically has been heavily bombarded today, it seems that a daily basis the israelies choose one of the towns and basically start bombarding it very heavily more than other towns, but of course like fkela like ham and also aitarun and they are always the ones that are mostly on the edges and very close to the border, they are always targeted. we also had targeting of vita and yarin. we heard today from also uh from the israeli media that there were sirens that were sounding in several places in the gililie, and the sounds of rockets from the iron dome. sometimes the the siren sound
7:47 pm
because of the iron dome, whether it is because there were rockets fired from south lebanon or perhaps other issues that... are um being used either by the resistance and the other resistance factions in order to basically turn on the the iron dome and that is basically also costing the israelies more money in addition to the fact that it's creating that um that atmosphere of terror where the sirens are always sounding throughout the galili as a whole uh we heard from hisballah officials today of course always stress that they are ready for any war that is being launched we heard from head of the loyalty of the resistance parliamentary block, head of the the block, actually mr. muhammad rad, he said that the israelis are not ready to launch a war, which the resistance in lebanon has prepared for, um, and we also heard from sheikh naim qasim as well, stressing that it is based on the u.s. red, blue, green light, if you may say, that
7:48 pm
is allowing the israelis to continue with the war in gaza, it seems that they don't have that green light yet in leban. to go for a wider escalation um, but what we're looking at is definitely an escalation when it comes to how they are targeting uh people in south lebanon, while the resistance has maintained the fact that it is only directing its strikes against military targets in the galili. thank you for that, mariam sal there from bay, appreciate it. germany army says. the yuny army says it is targeted an american ship in the gulf of aiden in response to us uk strikes on the arab country. both washington and london launched air strikes on yemen last friday response to what they called threats to international shipping in the red sea. the move has escalated tensions
7:49 pm
already high in the region due to israel's war in gaza. the united states has launched a new wave of attacks in yemen. the french missile was fired from us navy ships, stationed in the red sea and targeted sides that were allegedly prepared to launch attacks. over dozen locations were set to have been hit in the strikes. the ani saba news agency reported that the aerial assault hit the provinces of vededa, taz, damar, albaida and sada. the aggression was accompanied by the presence of surveillance aircraft over the western part of yemen. "this aggression will not change anything in the stance of our people and is spiritual obligation in supporting the palestinian people and the residence of gaza as well as the continuous targeting of ships linked to israel, and this is clear in our continuous operations. germany armed forces have said that they will not hesitate to target all sources of threat in the arabian and red seats within the country's legitimate right
7:50 pm
of self-defense. they've also warned that any aggression against yemen by the us or the uk will not go unanswered and..." unpunished, the washington designated antara movement as a terrorist organization. the antera resistance movement has described the us move to redesignate the movements as a terrorist organization as quote a badge of honor. designation of the united states does, i mean here in yemen, they don't care about that, but they are honored uh to to have that realisting as a terrorist organization, because we know and as said abdul malik have said, united state is just the face of the crime, united state is one of the country that have destroyed uh, mean the have destruction wherever they go, so we are honored uh to be uh uh designated as terrorist because as always they say one man terrorist is another. man freedom fighter. entreral spokesman mohammed abdul salamam added that the move also proves the impact of yemen's anti-israely operations in the red sea. as part of their support for
7:51 pm
palestinians, the eminy armed forces and antarla popular resistance movement have over the past month targeted several ships owned by the israeli regime or bound for ports in the occupied territories in the strategic red sea after multiple warnings. earlier in january, the us, along with the uk attacked yemen in a theatrical show of support for the... the issue that america and britain have joined the war directly and that we are now in direct confrontation with the americans, british and israelies does not scare us at all, the aggression towards our country and our people will enhance the development of our military capabilities. this was a brutal aggression, violation of our sovereignty. i mean, after 10 years of war on the yemen people a siege on land. air and sea, and to add to that, they are targeting us with new aggression. this is new stage of the conflict. what does this reflect? it reflects violation of
7:52 pm
sovereignty, further injustice towards people. since mid november, yemeny armed forces have carried out operations against israely linked ships in the red sea. they say the operations are aimed at forcing the israely regime, to stop its war in gaza, and to allow medicine and food into the territory. the... forces have also made it clear that the red sea operations will continue until those goals are achieved. washington and london have supplied money, weapons and diplomatic cover for the zinus occupation of palestine. they are actively promoting genocide, ethnic lensing, racism, parthide, pruel, dehumanization, and extreme barbarism in occupied palestine. it's obvious who is on the side. genocide, britain, france, canada, the netherlands and others and germany especially, and on the side of right on the side of morality is world public
7:53 pm
opinion, yemini government. the western hijamonic powers and the resist alli have faced the disgraceful defeat in gaza in the face of the resilience and steadfastness of hamas and other palestinian resistance groups. germany military has single-handedly posed the biggest threat to the economic functioning of the israeli occupation by force. get out of the red sea and further promising to stop the movement of ships to the occupied territories if the aggression against gaza continues. in response to the yemini military's actions, the us formed so-called multinational coalition in the red sea under the guise of protecting international trade, which in reality was attempt to protect the status quo in regional waters that have traditionally been in the service of western interests. yemeni military's efforts have been noted for being highly sophisticated and precise. the yemen. the uh attacks have been extraordinarily effective, first of all, shipping costs uh are rising, have risen, insurance for ships
7:54 pm
is going up uh, and this will this will only uh get worse, so israel is taking a a pretty significant economic hit, major shipping companies have had to halt operations in the red sea and to take new longer routes and the us has been... scrambling to pressure the saudis to avoid a peace deal with yemen. yemen's retaliatory strikes has also halted all commercial activities in the port of villat in the occupied territories. yemen has in fact set new equation with global consequences and has pushed the us from a position of dominance to one of defense, having to react and succumbed to the resistance demands. with that we come to an end for this additional world news, thanks for being with us, be back at the top the hour with a review
7:55 pm
the top stories, it's bye bye for now. 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 lands through the gradual strategy of settling the so-called jewish colonies.
7:56 pm
this is my land and my country. it is not only the 1948 or 1967 borders from the sea to the river. i am not ready to let go of a centimeter. israel is here like any for by the support of the europe, by the support of the united states. that's why they separate, the land, but i was at the babel sham's protest last week, and i myself had a my head banged against a bus by soldier, illegally on illegal stolen land and they are arresting
7:57 pm
