12:41 am
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 and foulded after the israeli tanks uh withdrew from those areas, we are talking about roughly two consecutive weeks of the brutal aggression that uh touched and reached everything there according to the uh uh 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 partially destroyed in addition to uh those buildings that were set on fire by the israeli occupation forces uh the entire complex were reduced to a mass grave that included hundreds of the palestina dead bodies according to the medical staff and the civil defense crews that at least a 300

12:43 am
for words here, because when i heard what our correspondent there said, it is uh quite shocking and we continue to get shocked by this geneside that's unfolding, i mean this is happening in real time, he mentioned how there were 300 bodies that were recovered, there were uh many that were blindfolded, amongst them were women and children, and these are people that uh were trying to uh take refuge in... inside the hospital, um, so this is just a 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-shifa 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
12:44 am
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 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 vein 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 called. by two reasons: one that they know that they don't have a long-term future, that ultimately 250, 300,
12:45 am
400 million people in the area can prevail against sin, despite their their modern technology, and there's a sense of this at the back of the israely mind, but also they got such a fright after during october the 7th when the palestinian resistance they thought was was defeated, was broken, could easily be contained by their huge military. superiority 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, that's what you about. musa, talking to us there from darabala, we appreciate it, and also like to thank mick napier from the solidarity campaign in edinburgh, thank you. and with that we come to an end for this news review.
12:46 am
israel's confirmed attack its positions by iraqi resistance groups. in his statement, the israely military said flying objects struck building in the port city of ilalat, israeli air defenses failed to intercept it, this comes after the islamic resistance in iraq said that it hit a vital target in israel. the resistance group added attack was in response ongoing. israel genocide in gaza groups carried out number of such operations against israel, but regime has not confirmed most of the attacks. the iraqi resistance group, however, has about to continue hitting israel until the regime ends its crimes in gaza. in yemen, a diverse group
12:47 am
of politicians, academics and scholars of conven for second conference entitled. you are not alone in the capital, sana. press tvs abdullatif alwashali reports. titled, you are not alone, the second palestine, the nation central issue conference from yemen scholars, academics and politicians as well as a chosen group of global supporters who align with the palestinian cause and oppose israeli aggression. this academic scientific conference seeks to... raise awareness in the islamic nation and remind people of their true enemy. if our nation reaches full awareness, it will follow the speech of imam khumaini and his call for the islamic nation to come out on international quds day. arabs and muslims must realize their duties in relation to different situations, so that our nation can rise with all dignity. if we do
12:48 am
not show an honorable position today, ahmed what gaza is suffering from israeli crimes and oppression, then there is no... good in us. the significance of such gatherings and advocating for the palestinian cause on an international level was underscored, particularly following the united nations security council's inability to stop israel's genocide in gaza despite a recent resolution. there is no doubt that this conference is gaining very great momentum and comes a time when gaza is suffering from ongoing injustice and aggression and also in light of the approaching international ots day. this is the day that yemany masses go out to send the message to the world that the palestinian cause is still live in the hearts of muslims, especially the yemini people, and that it will not die no matter how hard the zionist enemy tries to kill and annihilate it. organizing the lead up to the celebration of international qudus day in yemen, a day designated by the founder of iran's islamic
12:49 am
revolution ayatullah khumeini to annually mobilize the worlds of free people in support the palestinian c. since the beginning of the israeli genosader war on gaza, official and public events to show solidarity with the oppressed people of palestine have continued unabated. many here believe that palestine would always remain the central cause of the nation, as long as palestinian territories remain under israeli occupation. israel's campaign in the gaza strip has been among the deadliest and most destructive campaigns and thousands of human losses, air raids have also damaged or totally destroyed all types of structures, including homes, mosks, schools and medical centers, we taken a closer look at the issue in our explainer program. the us is really on slot on the
12:50 am
cause of strip is one of the most destructive genocidal air campaigns ever, raising entire neighborhoods to the ground. killing tens of thousands and causing damage that could take decades to repair, well the structural devastation is almost as shocking as the loss of lives itself, drawing reactions from many world leaders, like this one from the eu foreign policy chief joseph, this destruction is one of the most intense in history, comparable, if not higher to levels of destruction of german cities during the second world war, the source of the damage. is due to the us bombs that have been dropped in the gaza strip. in total, 70,00 tons of these explosives have been dropped in the gaza strip. this number is surely to rise since there. regime will be receiving new batch of us 50 and 20 pound bombs, well the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in this map, the largest
12:51 am
destruction has occurred in northern gaza, 81% of the total buildings there, terms of the number 37,100, the grand total amounts to 177, it's kind of hard to see here, but that accounts for 61.1% the total buildings in the gaza strip. this is what has been fact checked. other figures are much higher than this. now when it comes to the types of buildings, damaged or destroyed, that's very important. these figures show that some of the notable ones, the press headquarters at 165 schools including universities coming in at 405, and then you have mosks 227, and here's the one that hurts the most, 244. facilities and hospitals, keep in mind that these are the ones that have been completely destroyed, then comes the infrastructure destruction, 250 kilometers of roads, that's
12:52 am
78% of the total roads, 130 wells (56.2%) and 130 kilometers of water networks (84%) and then the soul gaza power plants, the only power plant in the gaza strip out of service, especially due to lack of fuel. this is why gazins are fighting for their lives, actually. well israel is also after erasing palestine's heritage in the gaza strip, some the examples of that that we picked, monasteries, mosks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic uh houses, you can see the figures there, uh, the one that stands out here was the historic houses, as matter of fact, this one here, the great ari mosque, it's uh built in the 12th century and one of the most important and largest historical mosks in palestine, gone naturally, some are asking, what is israel after? well, this is what many media organizations have said, quote, israel wants to make the gaza strip unfit for human habitation in the hopes that there will be
12:53 am
large scale immigration for the ethnic cleansing of gaza's palestinian population. this is what many organizations believe is israel's intent. that's a for your latest press tv. everyone, thanks for tuning in and bye-bye for now.
