out, they started shooting at us again, telling us that this is not a safe area and we should go right. then they started shooting again saying that this is not safe area as well, we were in a... middle of the thing and we didn't know what to do. we then came to camala adwan hospital and they did what's necessary directly. he had a blockage in his intestines and today he died. his father knows nothing about him, he only knows that he's sick. he's not around, he didn't get the chance to say goodbye. and now to the occupied west bank where israely forces have shat and killed a palestinian man over an alleged stabbing attack a settlement. near the town of ashtad, israeli sources say 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 attacker who was later identified as a man from al-khalil. the incident came hours after the al-qassim

brigades, the military wing of the hamas resistance movement republished a message from its commander, calling on palestinians to use all 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 earlier joined by our corresponded in ramala, for more details about the recent anti-israely operation in ashtad. let's take a listen to what mona can do. tells us, well, what, what happened this speak about the anti israeli operation, 19 year old from the town of dura in alkhalel, he works in that area near astud, when he arrived at the shopping

mall, he stapped israeli setlers, 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 maselmi and they ordered family members, his father and siblings to come to the intelligence department there in al khalil, 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... forces since the 7th of october is over 455 palestinians. well, in a rare admission since the beginning the gaza onslot on october the 7th, israel confirms attack on his positions by iraqi

resistance groups. in a statement, the israeli military set of flying objects struck the building in the port city of ilat. the attack set off sirence even as israeli air defenses. to intercept any targets, but this comes after the islamic resistance in iraq said it hit a vital target in israel, the resistance group added that the attack was in response to the ongoing israeli genocide against palestinians. the group has carried out numerous such operations against israel during the past six months, but the regime has denied almost all of them. iraqi resistance group however has vowed to continue hitting its rope until the regime ends its crimes. in gaza, now 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 a transfer of 25 of 35 fighter jets and engines to israel. in

our explainer segment we've taken a closer look at the 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 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, that too many palestinian civilians continue to die, adding that the gaza strip continues to suffer humanitarian catastrophe, one and which can be avoided, and that this 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 planes and bombs, the sale amount 2.5 billion dollars. here's a shot list, more than 1800

mk84 200 pound bombs and 500 mk 82 500 pound bombs. this sale also included. 25 f35 fighter jets, now what can these 2 thous pound bombs do for starters? the immense firepower can inflict damage to people over a long distance. up to a thous feet or 300 meters away. this can create civilian casualties a 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 200-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 12,00 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 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, uh, 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 that

israel is using weapons in line with international and humanitarian law, and that israel is not blocking gaza aid, 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 wanted to stop the israeli genocide, it could do so by using that as leverage to condition usaid for israel, but it continues to uh provide israel with bombs, which may be why joe biden has new nickname, genocide joe. the museum of miniature, simple things. are converted to historic hand-crafted masterpieces. it rises

make our self criticism boldly, although not finalized yet, the election results show us that we are experiencing a loss of ground in local administrations across the country, of course we will discuss the reasons for this decline we see on the local basis. erdogan issued the statement after early results squashed his party's hopes of winning." municipality in mayoral seats in istanbul and ankara and some other traditional strongholds. the opposition republican people's party has already declared victory for akram emolu, incumbant mayor of istanbul, after 96% of ballot boxes were counted, partial official tallies also showed the chp was leading in other big cities. sunday's local elections appeared to represent a fresh blow to the president, who had set his sites on retaking control of urban areas. turkish

people in 81 provinces took to the polls to choose mayors and provincial council members in local elections. the vote is seen by many as a test of popularity of president erdogan. erdogan who started his political life as the mayor of istanbul campaigned for the past few weeks to promote his party's candidates. the ruling justice and development party is seeking to win back both the economic hub of the country. istanbul and capital ankara, after receiving a blow from republican people's party, chp in 2019. for his turn, the chp is a scrambling to maintain both cities and win more. all. eyes are now on istanbul as the competition between the two main candidates in the city is crucial. the participation wasn't expected to be same as the previous election. however, it's not less important than the 2023 one. ardon wants to end his presidental term with the victory for his party and opposition candidate who wants to participate in the 2028 presidental run, wants this local election to pay the way for

his next win. 61 million voters were eligible to vote with more than 1 million. i cast my for the city and for our district, i want the vote for the very first time, i am happy i was able to practice my democratic right, it does not matter who wins, as long as he works best for my city, aside from political ideologies. mayor of istanbul, akram imamo and the akp's candidate murad kurum were campaigning for improving services for the city 60 million residents at the time of wide spread economic hardship and double digit. inflation imamolu has been criticized during his term for heavily focusing on presidential election and his party's leadership rather than solving issues in the city such as transportation and traffic problems and multitude of other issues when heavy snowful crippled life in istanbul. for the past 10 years i have been living in istanbul uh and i found that uh the previous mayor he didn't

give the promise uh uh he planned to do inside istanbul uh according to the service, the management of the city, we didn't f, we didn't find any change uh in this in this situation, for that i preferred uh to give the party again, because i think they lost the election last time, uh, it was like kind of punishment from the people uh, and i think they learned a good uh from this from this lesson. opposition party supporters consider this election as another chance to topple the justice and development party and win back power in the country. i voted for akram imam oglo and cp. i have always supported chp and will vote for them every time. for this could be our last exit from this nightmare. erdogan who was the mayor of istanbul in 1994 said

during rally that istanbul is the jewel, the treasure and the apple of our country's eye. analys say "the person that rules istanbul is able to establish himself a political base which then translates into power at the national scale. who wins istanbul wins turkey? that's what erdogan, mayor of the city in the 1990s was quoted by a polster as saying, against that backdrop, istanbul today could be choosing turkey's future president. rusan sagam, press tv, istanbul. over the easter weekend, irish republicans..." the anniversary of the easter rising against british colonialism and the proclamation of the independent irish republic in 1916. this year speeches focus on solidarity with palestinians in wartour in gaza and the continued struggle against imperialism in ireland. our correspondent deter renit reports from belfast. easter weekend is the
