5:33 pm
chronic israeli attacks and air strikes, it was it's it's worth mentioning that the israeli ocubation forces for the fifth consecutive time uh days for the fifth consecutive day uh are still attacking the shifa complex needless to mention that thousands of the palestinian civilians are silly stranded inside the complex. nearly six months into israel's genocidal war on gaza, the regime's relentless bombardment and shelling claims more lives in the besieg palestinian territory, the latest air strikes, hit gaza city killing of these 10 palestinians earlier a house was struck in the southern city of rafa where eight people, mostly women and children, lost their lives, three more were killed in an air strike in hanss, also in the south. the israeli regime began its war on gaza on october the 7th, since then almost 32,00 people have been killed in the palestinian territory, most of them are women and children. 7,00 people also remain unaccounted for. over 74,00 have been
5:34 pm
injured, well day five of the israeli regime siege of the al-shifa medical complex where 30,000 palestinians are taking shelter according to the health ministry in gaza. palestinian officials say over dozen patients have already died after they were deprived of medicine. that's because israeli forces cut off water and electricity to al-shifah, that's the largest hospital in gaza. they've also abducted dozens of nurses, doctors and hospital staff, the regime says the siege will continue for several more days and ordered the evacuation of patients, displaced civilians and medical staff. it claims that hamas fighters are inside the hospital and has already arrested over 300 of them, the palestinian resistance movement has dismissed that. it says the attack on al-schifo is part of the systematic destruction of health facilities in gaza. hamas has also condemned what it called the shameful silence of the international community to stop the israeli war. we talked to ash krishna swami,
5:35 pm
podcaster and journalist in st. petersburg, about israel's repeated attacks on major health facilities in gaza, including for hospital, she believes that israel feels free to deliberately attack civilians in the wake of in action by the international community to end the genocide in ghaza. i've seen so many videos of the latest raid in al shifa and while they claimed that there were terrorists, all heard is guns from the israeli side, but no one was shooting back, which shows that there are no resistance fighters, terrorists or whatever israel claims in that hospital, and there are mostly civilians. it is clear that... they're not targeting military targets, they are targeting only civilian targets and the overwhelming deaths are civilian and the injuries are overwhelmingly civilian, so while they continue to use that justification, overwhelming video evidence, i witness evidence shows that they are
5:36 pm
basically targeting the population of gaza as a whole, because they have not taken any action and they continue to ship more and more arms to israel, it is taset endorsement of israel's tactics, there are no red lines, there is nothing that israel can do to cause these western countries to stop supporting israel, and that's the main message besides some lip service that they are willing to give some of the time in some bodies. a video has been released showing israeli forces killing four unarmed palestinians in gaza using drones. the video has been obtained and published by qatar based al jazera news net. "the footage reportedly from an israeli drone in late february shows four palestinian civilians fleeing the southern city of hanes, the victims were on their way to inspect their destroyed homes when they were targeted and killed. pro-palestinian advocates have denounced a killing saying they are yet another um example and evidence of the
5:37 pm

resistance move in hesbollah has been pushing forward with its anti-israel operations relentless onslot on gaza, however a recently launched foreign-backed propaganda campaign seeks to undermine the widespread support for hesla's endeavors prested. the reports: since the allox of flood operation and the israeli genocidal aggression against gaza began early october last year, hezbulah has taken a stance of defense against israeli military targets near lebanon southern border. now months later, a propaganda campaign has been launched against such efforts with social media posts and bulletin boards across the libanese capital bayrut and beyond reading slogans such as implementing international resolutions enhances stability, or lebanon does not want war. if you asked all lebanese
5:43 pm
whether they would want an israeli war to begin in lebanon, the unanimous response would be no, especially with decades of experience with the israeli regime and its disproportionate targeting of civilians, yet what seems like a simple billboard has deeper implications for a country like lebanon. experts tell press tv that certain groups in lebanon have launched this campaign to put people against the... resistance a time of war, but are these factions working alone? this campaign we can say that it doesn't represent the lebanese people and especially in that it is, and we have informations it is funded by foreign countries. those parties and those factions, they were controlled by the us embassy in beirut, the us ambassador, dorf as was departing beirut uh and also receiving her successor lisa johnson, they
