7:32 pm
european hospital warning the children are facing humanitarian crisis due to the isready onslot, they say the children are suffering from different illnesses, some of which are life threatening. the department of of pediatrics here has almost 100 illness cases every day. in case the child comes to the hospital, they came under the circumstances of heavy illness, parents face difficulties and fear coming to the... hospital, so only heavily sick children come to the hospital. of unfortunately, every day we lose lot of children due to medicine shortages, even simple medicines that should exist in every hospital, clinic or health center. in the hospital now, there is not even a simple treatment like acomol syrup. as you see here, acamol syrup is the simplest children's treatment that is available in hospitals. hardest thing is when children come to the hospital without the company. of mother or
7:33 pm
father, an orphan, and we do not find a treatment for them, and unfortunately we lost a lot of children due to medicine shortages in the hospital. the israel military says of it's lost another soldier during its incursion into the gaza strip. the 23-year-old reservist was killed south of the coast of sliver over the weekend. according to the regime, the latest fatality brings to 195, the number of is really true. groups killed in gaza, but hamas movement says that far more israeli soldiers have been killed in the fighting, despite a steadly and disrupted campaign in gaza, israel has failed to achieve its main goals, that's destroying kamas and securing the release of its captives through military means. at least two us service personnel have been injured an attack a western iraq military base housing american forces. us official has confirmed
7:34 pm
the injuries, adding that initial reports indicate that anal acid base was hit by ballistic missiles. the islamic resistance in iraq has claimed that attack. resistance forces have fired more than 40 rockets at the base and the biggest anti-us operation by iraqis since israel began its onslot on gaza. the pentagon says american forces have come under more than 140 attacks in iraq and syria since then and that ammit backlash over washington's. according to pentagon some 70 us personnel have been injured in the operations, some of them seriously. now from terana, i'm joined by farasal najam, he's a manager of the canadian defenders for human rights. good to see you for us, so as as you just heard in the intro, there are more reprisal attacks by resistance fighters in the region, beat from the from yemani side.
7:35 pm
from hisbollah in lebanon and uh now we're talking about iraq and resistance fighters there, more and more serious operations are being conducted, could we hope that these could actually? push the us to kind of pressure israel into stopping this genocidal war on gaza? i mean, this is very special development now in this recent battle where many other resistance groups are getting involved to help the people of gaza and and be able to slap this regime from different corners and also their supporters, obviously the the us is the one that's ' behind fueling and supporting this genocide, um, we seen that with the the vetos inside the united nations, and by supplying the weapons and you know media backing and so on, so i think that this this is gonna put some pressure, i don't know how much pressure, but it's it is
7:36 pm
putting lot of pressure and the us is feeling it because the they're losing soldiers, their soldiers are being wounded, their bases are being shaken by the resistance, the hajd sha'bi. iraq um and also it's it's totally legitimate for these resistance fighters uh that are part of the iraqi army because this was um done inside the parliament of iraq that the hajj shabi the popular mobilization forces is enlisted as part of the kind of like a wing to the iraqi army so their legitimate entity and their legitimate army at the same time america is not uh is not allowed to have and host bases inside of iraq and we seen that also with elected members inside the parliament of iraq after they killed qasim sulaymani and the great general abu mahdi muhandis uh the two two main generals that destroyed isis you know they were the majority voted for the us troops to
7:37 pm
leave iraq so at this point they're illegally in iraq so and the iraqi army and the iraqi popular mobilization forces have the... legitimate right to strike these bases because they're illegitimate, they're not supposed to be there and they're forcing themselves on the iraqi soil, and obviously it's not for the interest of iraq, it's for the interest of israel, it's for the interest the puppet regimes that have been installed in west asia and the middle east to serve the colonial uh powers and their control of the region, and obviously to intimidate any force that stands against them and their project, and obviously we no that is the islamic republic of iran and the access of resistance that is fighting uh you know heavily right now and very united you know this is very very unique time where we see coordinated attacks and we see that even the spokesman for hamas you know for the military wing for
7:38 pm
instance uh always thanking these groups one by one he's thinking every part of the access of resistance saying that thank you to uh in lebanon, thank you to ansar allah in yemen, thank you to, and he's mentioning them, you know, not just once or twice in a lot of his his speeches, especially at times where they penetrate and hit the american troops, or they hit the israeli interest such as the the shipments that are coming in in the red sea where yemen is blocking them and and attacking them, this is also a very big development and the yemenes are paying. the price for that now the country is being attacked. okay, appreciate that. forus all najim, manager of the canadian defenders for human rights in toronta, canada. a plot
7:39 pm
hatched by zyanus 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. now moving on, people in the syrian capital damascus have held a funeral for the victims of an israeli terrorist attack on saturday. the ceremony was held in saidaya shrine. the israely attack targeted a residential building and them as a neighborhood where several diplomatic missions are located. at
7:40 pm
least five members of iran's islamic revolution guards core and number of syrian forces have been killed. the rgc members were serving as military advisors upon invitation of. syrian government, the israelite terrorist strike came just days after irgc targeted a mosad espinage base in iraq's kurdistan region over the regime's anti-iran plots. once again, the israeli regime launched aerial attack against syria, targeting a residential area in the syrian capital, damascus. several syrian troops and at least five iranian military advisers were martered, according to an irgc statement. military experts say that these acts are clear evidence of israel's failure in gaza. the repeated attacks by the zionist entity on residential areas indicates that this entity is internally troubled due to its failure to... all the gaza strip, therefore, the occupation regime is attempting to export its crisis to the region and drag it into a
7:41 pm
regional war. today's aggression on the capital, damascus and the targeting of iranian figures violates international laws and norms because they are present in syria at the official request of the sovereign syrian government. it is within the rights of the syrian government to seek the assistance of advisers to combat terrorism just like any other country. in the world, at least seven bodies were retrieved from under the rubble the three-story residential building, which was within a street full of diplomatic missions. syrian civilians, political figures and popular media have all denounced this criminal aggression that demonstrates the savage nature of the zionist regime. they said that such terrorist acts would not intimidate the resistance front. this is very ugly, worse than you can imagine. i live here nearby. i huge explosions in my neighbor's building, lot of glass was broken, vehicles were destroyed, and when i went outside to
7:42 pm
see what had happened, i found a three-story building completely destroyed, this has frightened all the residents in this street, children were crying in fear and women were screaming, my neighbor is sick and didn't know what to do, israel is failed in gaza so they have gone crazy and are firing in any direction to make it clear that they are present, but they will not succeed because the access of res is resilient, i was less than 100 meters away when the explosion occurred. may god bless the souls of the marters. late last month, the israeli regime assassinated a senior iranian advisor, general sayid rasi musavi in a missile strike that targeted his house in the vicinity of saida zenab shrine south of damascus. the israel regime is trying to intimidate the peoples of the region and is pushing escalation through assassinations and terrorist attacks in the region. but people insist that they will never be afraid of the apartite regime. ibrahim wahdi, press tv,
7:43 pm
damascus. now, in our explainer program elaborates sunuran's recent missile attacks a mosad spni center in iraq's kurdistan region and also terrorist basis in syria. uh, iran's islamic revolution, guard's core irgc targeting terrorists in syria and an israeli spying base in iraq. was precise, but looking closer at the strikes at the spying base in iraqi kurdistan, it becomes clear the building was used to carry out masad operations, particularly against iran. first, the irgc strikes, it launched a barrage of missiles at an spionage center of the israeli spy agency known as musad in iraqi kurdistan, the musad spy center overall function was to develop spy operations and commit acts of terrorism in general, but its focus, its main focus was the islamic republic of iran. now
7:44 pm
this uh base also had intelligence name to it as well, so uh, it was known as the israeli 8200 intelligence core units task with conducting surveillance and information gathering and generally was a place where many terrorists and sabotage attacks were planned against iran, but the characters were killed is our main focus. so we have this man uh majid aga dezai he was one of the main players dezai headed the falcon group conglomerates covering things like security, oil, gas and construction. interestingly, it provided security services to international oil companies as well, further proof of his deep links to iraq kurdistan security and intelligence apparatus. another fact was his close proximity with kurdistan's ruling barzani family when all of it is put together his relation to israeli mussad spy agency. becomes pretty apparent, so far we have established desires prominence, he was the
7:45 pm
main man for musad in airb who coordinated operations for the spying agency and helped in recruiting agents as well. now his associate, this man nasiem, he was the notorious team leader of tasa elite, massad affiliated spying firm responsible for training terrorist groups and recruiting agents in the west asian region, including the iraqi kurdistan uh for musad and mercenaries for musad in the iraqi kurdistan region whose activities include guiding intelligence and operational team to act against iran. now we have an interesting photo here that shows all three of them in action during an operation of some sorts and uh perhaps more interestingly we have ilan nasim a photo of ilan nassim who is carrying
7:46 pm
a an israeli tour 21 multi-use weapon showing his affiliation with the spy agency. now when it comes to the number. of masad agents killed, it's a bit confusing in how it was reported, one reports indicated three were killed uh in iraqi kurdistan's air, another indicated elan was killed along with four other musad agents, the names that you see here, both due to irgc strikes all in the same location, that makes it seven the number of mussad agents that were killed, and that's all we have uh for uh this explainer and uh for this issue, so i'm going to... it back to the anchor for the rest of the world news. the uk's west midland city at burmingam has been the scene of a massive pro- palestine demonstration, one of several helt since the beginning of the us israelity genocidal war in gaza, and that in the face of continued uk government support for tel aviv that's caused unprecedented public outrage and alien it at
7:47 pm
the country's muslim community. said puraza reports. true to their word, they've done it again. thousands on foot or by bike have thrown the streets of birmingham to say this. we are riding for palestine. we want to see fire now. people and children are being killed in gaza, which is completely unacceptable. stop murdering children and innocent people. in the run-up to today's protest. activists glute shot a branch of london headquartered banking giant barkley's in birmingham for allegedly investing in israeli weapons manufacturers. i think a lot of people are now fed up by carrying out totally non-violent none interactive events and now they're taking a proactive step so that they get noticed and this is desperations and in a one way it's showing
7:48 pm
the great crisis that we face in this country that when the public wants the government to call for sease far... yeah, yet our politicians are not listening to the majority the british public. britain's support for a partide israel takes many shakes. visiting tel aviv in mid-october last year, british prime minister rishi sunak stood next to his israeli counterpart benjamin netanyahu and said this, as your friend, we will stand with you in solidarity, we will stand with your people, and we also want you to win. prime minister, whatever a win might look like for a... tied israel, sunak's conservative party and the opposition labor party, whose leader kier starmer has also backed netan yahoo's war, have both lost voters like karen, a lawyer. i feel like we've been massively let down by all governments, all parties across the board, and i've completely lost all faith in all of them. one group that say the uk
7:49 pm
position on the us israeli genocide in gaza has completely alienated them. are british muslims who constitute nearly 7% of the population. we feel that the people that we have elected to represent us in the corridors of power have become a bunch of yes men, they are saying yes sir, yes sir, three bags food sir, maybe because they are afraid to lose their careers, this is how bad is become. disappointed with the government and the political establishment, it is in the streets of britain, where people see the future of pro-palestine solidarity in the uk as they hope for peace. okay, from the uk to italy where people of march to protest the presence of israeli exhibitors in the city's jewelry fair, that's one of the largest of this kind in the world. a reporter was also there and he interviewed some of the protesters. israel
7:50 pm
is slaughtering thousands of children bef. for their parents, everybody is saying it's wrong, everybody is with us, italians, foreigners, why doesn't our governments tell israel to stop killing innocent people? turnout has been large in this rally because all people in europe in italy strongly identified with the oppressed palestinians, people that has been stripped of its right, shelter, livelihood by a ruthless bunch of israely politicians. rich and prepotent people who want to slaughter the palestinians and god knows who else. we have to oppose all this. many people are responsible for these killings. in the first place, those physically carry out these. homicides, then those who aid in a bet the killers, the united states with the support of all european governments, but i'd like to say more, our media are being controlled, the
7:51 pm
reports are biased, and it's a disgrace that people cannot do anything to change this situation, it's not about self-defense, israel wants to get the land, period, they want the land that belongs to the palestinians, this is despite the fact that 2 million live there, the oppressor cannot claim a land which is not his, israel has chosen to attack and exterminate an entire people, in the us supporters of palestine often brave sub-zero temperatures to demand washington ended support for israeli genosided in gaza. in chicago, protesters let a car caravan protest voicing their support for palestine. rami mazahiri has more. winter has arrived with vengeance across the united states, but that didn't stop pro-palestinians from protesting nationwide and in chicago, the home of the nation's largest palestinian
7:52 pm
community. with temperatures in the windy city feeling like minus 21° celsius or -5° fahrenheit, palestinian supporters led a car caravan to remind commuters, passers by and those safe at home that gaza is being destroyed with homicidal impunity and with american bombs, guns and diplomatic cover. our people back home are going through lot worse um than just you know being cold and so we we can definitely you know we could live through it um you know we we have to keep the new putting pressures uh you know it's in these winter uh months and winter days it's you know we've we've gotten more creative with our actions that's why we have sometimes we have caravans caravans will still make some noise you're still you know making some disruptions to the city the flow of the city the flow of the traffic so yeah you know we we have to continue we don't. have a choice. in just over 3 and a half months, israel has killed some 25,000 palestinians, 70% of them, women and children, and wounded over 60,00
7:53 pm
people. a stunning 60% of gaza's buildings have been destroyed or damaged, and israel is formally facing charges of genocide in the international court of justice at the hague. the propaganda machine is is starting to die, so um, i think the the... "you know the us propaganda machine, the israeli propaganda machine, they're losing the the language war, the propaganda war, whatever it is, because the youth are seeing everything happen in real time, as you know, the genocide that's happening in gaza right now is being documented, everything is being filmed. united states president joe biden has now repeatedly bombed yemen without getting prior approval from the united nations or his own congress, but there seems to be almost no concern in..." washington about the illegality of the strikes, it says a lot when people in those conditions are willing to do whatever it takes to put an end to the genocide while we have billions of dollars
7:54 pm
going to the state of israel and continuing to support them regardless, like it says a lot in regards to how serious the people of yemen take it and how impactful it is and how in our relationship as you know muslim and arab communities are are across the country and across the world activist say that neither one washington nor tel aviv seem to understand that nothing can stop the palestinians and their supporters around the world, not murder, bombs, theft, lies, and certainly not cold weather. robin maziri, press tv, chicago. that's all for this news cast. thank you for watching, the news in brief in a few minutes.
