said it many times, it's its knees, it's more than its knees, the fresh water supply has of been cut off since immediately after seven of october, the electricity has been cut off since immediately after the horroring attacks of the seven of october, all the lifelines in gaza have more or less been cut, so and all this leads to a desperate situation as we saw yesterday in in the unfortunate horrifying..." incidents where hundreds of people got killed, while there is a uns, while while the secret general mentioned exactly that that investigation should show what the real causes were, that's not even right now important, important is that people are so desperate for food, for fresh water, for any supplies, that they risk their lives in getting any food, any supplies to support their children, to support themselves, this

is the real drama, this is the real catastrophe here, that's food and supplies are so scars that we see these situations coming up, and the food supplies have been cut off deliberately, let's not forget that, we saw pictures from al shifa where victims of the attacks of the of the horrifying situation yesterday, of the killings were lying next each other on the floor awaiting any type of treatment, um, this is the real drama here, and that is... is why despite to the calls now that this may delay the ceasefire, this just underlines more and more that we need an urgent urgencyfire now, if not now, when then, and with breaky news you can see on the bottom of your screen there, 20 palestinians have been killed and 16 injured in an air strike by the uh tel aviv regime targeting an apartment building west of jabalya. in gaza, soon as we find out more

about this latest massacre of 20 palestinians in that building, we'll get it to you according, accordingly, meanwile israel continues to use starvation as a instrument of war's will against palestinians in gaza while also intensifying air strikes on the besieg territory. our correspondent joined us earlier from dear balah with more. in the meantime, it's worth mentioning that the israeli occupation forces are still using salvation as a weapon of war against the palestinian people, taking more lives of the palestinian its children in gaza strip, the number of the palestinian children who have been killed since the... over the last uh couple of days actually amounted to 13 palestinian children, 13 palestinian children were killed in a cold blood uh by the israel incubation forces as they were deprived of having the uh the food and the clean

drinkable water uh causing them a malnutrition and the dehydration and this number is highly expected to rise exponentially as thousands of the palestinian children are living this circumstances of deprivation of the needed humanitarian needs and assistance and the need medical care uh we are talking about catastrophic and beyond catastrophic humanitarian conditions the need for the people here is is very dire and having this sporadic humanitarian aid allowed into gaza or dropped in on gaza strip uh actually means nothing compared to the day that the palestinian. people are living and experiencing, particularly when it comes to the children, what gaza's trap really needs these moments is the flow, the continuous flow of the humanitarian aid into gaza slip, and this actually needs a real political willingness from the regional parties, they

need to oblige the israeli occupation to allow the entrance, the entry of those humanitarian aid into gaza step without having any restriction, the israeli occubition forces committed at telling massacre over the last night here in the ball city after destroying and targeting at least three residental buildings at the central of diral balah and in the eastern part of their balah claiming the lives of at least 22 palestinian civilians mostly women and children they were attacked and killed as they were sleeping inside their houses and intense battles are still underway on the ground in gaza with in resistance fighters repelling attacks by israeli forces, the military wing of islamic jihads released new video showing its fighters clashing with israeli soldiers in and around alzitu neighborhood of gaza city. the alcohol's brigades also launched morter shells a gathering of regime soldiers in northern

village of kufr west ramallah in order to conduct arrest among palestinians. this is what the israeli military said. after an hour or so the palestinians thought that the israeli forces left the village and then many palestinians were in the in the narrows of of course of the village checking if the israeli fo forces were still in the area or not, they were uh surprised by israeli forces hiding and they opened fire at the palestinians there, they shot 16 year old muhammad this morning, palestinian ministry of health declared that muhammad adiq secumed to his injuries, and we have to mention that the number of palestinians who had been killed since the 7th of october. rises to 418 as yesterday uh salah shawri 26 year old second

his injuries as well where one day earlier his brother was shot and and killed najim shamri from the village of bet awa in al-khalil so 418 palestinians had been shot and killed by the israeli forces since the 7th of october in addition. to this incident in kufur nami, the israeli forces stormed several areas across the occupied west bank, they raided sour in jenin and the city of genine and they smashed shops there and confiscated hundreds of of shakles, israeli shakels, it seems that the it's over 80,000 us dollars from palestinians there in that area and the israel is claim that these shops

are supporting terrorism, this means according to the that those palestinian palestinian families are supporting the palestinian resistance and they praise the acts of the palestinian resistance as well, the israelies had raid had raided also aha and bet lah as well as exact number of those palestinians who had been detained had not been revealed yet by the palestinian commission of prisoners at first, but as we see every day the israelies are arresting between dozen to two thousands of palestinians and sometimes more and that's why the number of those palestinians who had been arrested by the israeli forces since the 7th of october is today over 7,300 palestinians in addition to the fact that before. for the 7th of october we are speaking about over 4,000 palestinians had

been detained and are still suffering behind boss okay so there's been no let up bona in the raids in the abductions in the murders of young palestine is there throughout the occupied west bank stay safe thank you for that update mona we'll talk to you soon press tv's mona candial joining us from occupied romala now three people have been killed in in israeli drone strike targeting a car in the city of nakura in southern lebanon, attack is the latest and a spate of israeli aerial strikes on southern lebanon, meanwile the lebanese resistance movement has says it struck an israely command center in northern occupied territories using a kamaakazi drone. hisbollah and israel been engaged in exchanges of fire since regime launched its genacidal war on gaza early october. the lebanese resistance fighters have mainly targeted israeli military positions, but the israeli regime has even targeted residential

areas in lebanon causing deaths of civilians. and for the latest intentions along the southern lebanese border we're going to swing over to our beirot correspondent for the latest madiam so hello madiam hope you're safe, what could you tell us? well you mentioned uh daniel the car that was uh struck by three at least rockets from a drone from an israeli drone uh the israelies say they killed three people uh in that car we still do don't have uh official confirmation either from hazbollah or any official side here in lebanon to confirm the number of the murders and if they were hazbollah members uh or civilians we were told that there were no civilians in that car uh but in addition to that uh strike the israelies have launched several air strikes in the area of labmune which is near nakura and that car

specifically was targeted between the roads leading from the coastal town of naqora towards the coastal town of higher and that area specifically has been the area of many uh shelling from the israelis, we also have other israeli showing in the towns of harfah and wazani, they have been also heavily bombarded, but the heaviest challenge that occurred was yesterday and at least 50% of israel's assaults yesterday were conducted through aerial strikes through their war jets, there was a lot destruction in the town of ramya, several houses, civilian houses were destroyed, hazballah in one of those strike says that they lost uh four hizbillah members and they have of course declared the names of those hisbullah fighters. hazballah has also declared that they had launched in one of the areas which is in liman. this is

considered newly recent uh post that has been put forth by these. is in the area of leman, hasas said that targeted it with kazi drone and it struck its target very precisely, and when you say a recent post, that means that the israelis are basically moving away from many of those posts that are on the border, since they have been targeted many times by hazbullah and therefore trying to situate themselves in areas that are further from the border, they're creating new makeshift posts and so that is proof that hizbullah has been, uh very efficient when it comes to targeting their posts, hazballah has also recently declared that they also targeted a group of soldiers in the post of alam that is also on the western side of the border and also they said that they targeted that area and that group of soldiers and struck their target very precisely and so this is like we said

part of the continuous tit fortat. confrontations, we know from the israelis, they have released a report for february saying that over 600 rockets have been fired uh from lebanon, at least 20 anti-tank and anti-armor rockets have also been targeted, have also reached their their posts as well, and although the israelis at many times do not recognize and admit to the fact that there are certain significant headquarters that are targeted, they... usually for example and other areas and other statements mention that for example they killed one of the hazbullah fighters who was responsible for striking that headquarters and that headquarters and so on so forth and although they do say and uh declare that they have been able to kill a big portion or number of hazbillah fighters that are responsible for

the rocket force and especially for the anti-armor rocket force. hazballah has said that not uh very, very few of their fighters have been killed in that force specifically, and so it is also in addition to the fact that you do have the fortat operations, the israeli shelling on the other side, but you also have psychological warfare that is clearly playing out between hazbullah and israel, and israel's of course has huge crisis with the settlers that many of those settlers homes or the houses that were built in occupied lebanes. territory and occupied palestinian territory, many of them have been destroyed, and this is the first time that you see that extent of destruction in the israeli home front, since the establishment of israel, so that in itself is very significant and i believe that it's going to play out even more even when the crisis unfolds or ends. all right, well thank you madiam, stay safe till we talk to you again.
