12:33 pm
pretext that hamas operated there, but the resistance movement has dismissed the allegation. our correspondent joining us from derobala to give us the latest on the genocide that's occurring, and also mc napier will break it down for us, he's the co-founder of the scottish palestine solidarity campaign, we just from edinburgh. okay, welcome to you both, good morning to you, tell us what you have for us uh today of course. we know of the massacer that has taken place uh that that is now unfolded uh with all the diff uh i guess bodies that have been retrieved, the dead bodies, tell us about that if you can, also this is uh the most important news that we have today, which is about the withdrawal and the retreat of the israel incubation forces from the ashifa medical complex and the surrounding areas of the ashifa medical complex, massive and unbelievable destruction unfolded after the israeli tanks. uh withdrew from those areas,
12:34 pm
we are talking about roughly two consecutive weeks of the brutal aggression that uh touched and reached everything there, according to the eyewitnesses and according to the people there and the medical staff and the civil defense crews that the entire buildings inside the ashifa medical complex were completely or bartually destroyed uh in addition to uh those buildings that were set of on fire by the israeli occupation forces, the entire complex were uh reduced to a mass grave that included hundreds of the palestinian dead bodies, according to the medical staff and the civil defense cruise that at least 300 palestinian dead bodies uh were found ubiculous in those areas inside the buildings uh inside the complex and outside the complex they found uh a platora
12:35 pm
of the basinia dead bodies uh hands coughed and blindfolded, they were executed in called the blood by the israeli incubation forces uh those dead bodies actually uh include uh the children. the elderlies and the women uh the the the whole people partic particularly who were stranded and who were uh beeseaged inside the ashifa medical complex, they were tortured, they were uh found uh stripped down by the israeli incubation forces, as i've mentioned they were uh blindfolded and headcaffed and they were uh executioned by the israeli incubation forces, needless to mention that even the surrounding areas of the shifa medical complex uh the entire squares, the horizontal squares there were completely destroyed by the israeli incubation forces. kind of a loss for words here, because when i heard what our correspondent there said uh, it is uh quite shocking um and uh we continue to get shocked by this genocide that's unfolding, mean this is happening in real time uh he mentioned how
12:36 pm
there were 300 bodies that were recovered uh there were uh many that were blindfolded amongst them were women and children and these are people that were trying to uh take refuge inside the hot. hospital um, so this is just really, it obviously defines the word genocide that's taking place, what are your thoughts on what you just heard from a correspondent in terms of what has happened at the al shefa hospital? well, my thoughts are very similar to yours, that the horror is building upon horror and deeper horror every day, and one finds it difficult to find words and your reporter who does fantastic job, has to be congratulated for finding the words to describe and bring to us the the horror of what's happening. i mean, given what, given what's going on, and given that america has decided to continue to send more bombs to israel to drop on gaza. it's clear that as
12:37 pm
the price we paid for decades and decades of crime against the people of palestine, slow motion genocide over very long time. "this was an open veiin uh in the surface of the world and it was bleeding horribly, but given that this has taken such a long time to to come to this horrible climax, it seems to me that the price we're paying for allowing this to happen for decades is that israel is dragging the world into a new era of barbarism, new darkness, and i think the ferocity of the of the killings, the the genocidal violence is caused by two..." reasons: one that they know that they don't have a long-term future, that ultimately 250, 300, 400 million people in the area can prevail against seven, despite the their modern technology, and there's a sense of this at the back of the israeli mind, but also they got such a fright after during
12:38 pm
october the 7th when the palestinian resistance they thought was was defeated, was broken, could easily be contained by their huge military superior. audity and and an air bridge of bombs from washington and also some from from britain and brussels, they thought that they could uh that they could manage the situation and it's clear that they can't. talking to us there from we appreciate it and also like to thank mc napier from the solidarity campaign in edinburgh. thank you. and with that we come to an end for this news review. now to the occupied west bank where israely forces have shot and killed a palestinian man or less stabbing attack a settlement near the town of ashtad. israely sources say that at least three settlers have been seriously injured in this attack which occurred in a shopping mall. according to reports regime forces fatally shot the
12:39 pm
attacker was later identified as a man from alkhalel. the incident came ours after that gates, the military wing of the hamas resistance movement republished a message from its commander calling on palestinians to use all of their resources to fight against the regime. hamas later hailed the attack as a natural response to the occupations massacres in gaza and the west bank. the group added that the operation also shows palestinians conviction toward resistance as the path to liberate palestine. we were joined earlier by our correspondent in ramala for more details about the recent anti-israely operation in ashtad. let's take a listen to what mondale had to tell. well what what happened this speak about the anti israeli operation 19 year old from the town of dura in alkhale he works in that area near as duart when when he arrived at the shopping
12:40 pm
mall he stabed israeli sittlers according to the israeli police they opened fire shot him and killed him later the israeli forces stormed the town of dura, they raided the house of masalme and they ordered family members, his father and siblings to come to the intelligence depart. of course this means after interrogation they would be arrested, other family members had been detained, the israel is cause severe damage inside the house, and we have to mention that this with the killing of masalmi, the number of palestinians who had been killed by the israeli forces since the 7th of october is over 455 palestinians, in a rare admission since the beginning of the gaza onslot. october 7, israel confirms an attack its positions by iraqi resistance groups. the

12:46 pm
are asking you to envisage a different future. republican network for unity is the political wing of the armed republican organization. and at their commemoration, message from the dflp, the national resistant brigades, marjor al-kassim forces and the resistance in gaza was read. palestinian people are suffering from a policy of starvation, genocide, ethnic cleansing and the imposition of a project of forced displacement of the from their land. all of this is linked to the thought presented by bobby sans and his comerades as there is a deep connection in the revolution against colonialism and the policy of starvation. support for the palestinian people was white. spread at all commemorations, speakers at the commemorations of rnu and the irish republican socialist party stressed the need to continue the anti-perolist fight in ireland. reese relate the former political prisons and the families of the dead marchers to remember all those who died in the fight for irish freedom. since february, northern ireland has a republican first minister with michel one of shin fein for the first time in his 100 years history. however, it has been
12:47 pm
visible at this year's east commemorations in belfast, the revolutionary republic. republicans are not satisfied with the ongoing imperialist imposed partition of ireland. revolutionary republicans such as arinu and fow to continue the struggle against imperialism in ireland. dita reinish reporting for breastv from belfast. the us has in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets to israel. last week the state department also authorized the transfer of 25 f-35 fighter jets and engines to israel. in our explainer segment, we have taken a closer look at this issue. the us government has approved new batch of military equipment to the israeli regime. the most recent aid will include bombs and fighter jets. the immediate question: what happened to the rhetoric of concern for civilian
12:48 pm
casualties? for example, the us secretary of defense lloyd austin has said that the civilian death tool in the... gaza strip is far too high, the too many palestinian civilians continue to die, adding that the gaza strip continues to suffer humanitarian catastrophe, one in which can be avoided, and that the situation is getting even worse, echoing the same view as other us officials, including us president joe biden, now it was within one week that the white house authorized transfer of war plananes and bombs, the sale amount 2.5 billion dollars. here's a shot. more than 1800 mk84 2000-pound bombs and 500 mk 82 500 lb bombs. this sale also included 25 f-35 fighter jets. now what can these 200 pound bombs do? for starters, the immense firepower can inflict damage to people over a long distance up to a thous
12:49 pm
feet or 300 away. this can create civilian casualties on. massive scale, something israel has done on more than one occasion, well here's a map which shows craters created by these heavy us bombs, more than 500 craters, which are consistent with 2 pound bombs. note that the average destruction is 39.3 ft or 12 meters in diameter. two flashbacks are in order here: first, from october the 7th to november the 1st, euromed monitor reported that israel struck at least 12,000 targets that it had dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives on the gaza strip, and it said this was equivalent to two nuclear bombs like the ones us dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki, the second flashback, massive us arms deliveries, 244 transport
12:50 pm
planes from october the 7th to december the 25th, more than 10,00 tons of bombs and munitions delivered. to occupied palestine, and that's over a three-month period only. we're now in the sixth month of the genocide. let's not forget, the us has virtually removed all the meaningful restrictions on the stock pile and the transfer of its arms to israel. this includes surplus weapons limitations, annual spending cap on replenishing the stock pile and curtailing congressional oversight. and to add insult to injury, the us says. israel is using weapons in line with international and humanitarian law and that israel is not blocking gaza 8, saying israel's use of american weapons meets requirements of new. national security memorandum, despite overwhelming evidence that proves otherwise. the us provides israel with nearly 4 billion dollars a year in military assistance. if it wanted to stop the
12:51 pm
israeli genocide, it could do so by using that as leverage to condition us aid for israel, but it continues to provide israel with bombs, which may be why joe biden has new nickname, genocide joe. well, you seeing reactions come now based on the massager that has taken place at the al-shaf hospital now that the israel regime forces reportedly have withdrawn from uh the area of that hospital, the iranian foreign ministry has come out saying uh it's shocked by what has happened uh also first uh the foreign minister saying that now the foreign ministry is urging an international probe into the attack at gaza hospital this with the purpose of finding some kind of traces of the hamas operation. the resistance fighters operations there, and based on what i just mentioned about the reaction from the iranian foreign minister, he's described it as shocking and horrifying.
