2:40 am
with our guests the latest developments at the al shifa medical complex. is our correspondent joining us from bala to give us the latest on the genocide that's occurring and also mcnapier will break it down for us, he's the co-founder of the scottish palestine solidarity. campaign who joined us from edinburgh. okay, welcome to you both. good morning to you, muty. uh, 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 with the troll and the retreat of the israel incubation forces from the ashifa medical complex and the surrounding areas. the ashifa medical complex massive and unbelievable destruction unfolded after the israeli tanks
2:41 am
uh withdrew from those areas. we are talking about traffly two consecutive weeks of the brutal aggression that uh touched and reached everything there according to the uh uh eyewitnes 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 those buildings that were set on fire by the israeli occupation forces, the entire complex were reduced to a mass grave that included hundreds of the palestinian dead bodies, according to the medical staff and the civil defense crews that at least 300 palestinian dead bodies uh were found ub in those areas, inside the buildings, inside the complex and outside the complex, they found a plethora of
2:42 am
the dead bodies handcaffed and blindfolded, they were executed in cold the blood by the israeli incubation forces, those dead bodies actually uh include uh the children, the elderlies and the women, the the whole people part particularly who were stranded and who were beseged inside the shif medical complex. they were tortured, they were uh found stripped down by the israeli incubation forces, as i've mentioned, they were uh blindfolded and had cuffed and they were uh executioned by the israeli incubation forces, needless to mention that even the surrounding areas of the shifa medical complex, the entire squares, the horizontal squares there were completely destroyed by the israel incubation forces, kind of a loss for words here, because when i heard what our corresponded there said it is uh quite shocking um and uh we continue to get shocked by this genocide that's unfolding, i mean
2:43 am
this is happening in real time, uh he mentioned how 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 uh were trying to uh take refuge inside the hospital, um so this is just really it obviously defines the word genocide that's taking place uh what are your thoughts on uh what you just heard from a correspondent. in terms of what has happened at the al shar 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, mean given what given what's on and given that america has decided to continue to send more
2:44 am
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 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 their their their modern technology and there's a sense of this at the back of the israeli mind, but also they got such a fright
2:45 am
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 it's clear that we can't talk to us there from, 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. israel's confirmed attack its positions by iraqi resistance groups.
2:46 am
it is israely military said flying objects struck building in the port city of ialot. israely air defenses failed to intercept it and it comes after islamic resistance in iraq city hit a vital israeli target. resistance group added attack was in response to ongoing genocide in gaza. pardon regime iraki resistance group power have about to continue hitting these israely targets until the regime ends its gaza onslot. in yemen, a diverse group of politicians, academics and scholars have convened for second conference entitled, you are not alone in the capital city, sona press tvs abdul latif al washali reports, titled you are not alone, the second
2:47 am
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 khumeini 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 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 and an international level was underscored, particularly following the united nations security council's inability to stop israel's
2:48 am
genocide in gaza despite a recent resolution. there is no... now 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 orts day. this is the day that yemeny masses go out to send message to the world that the palestinian cause is still live in the hearts of muslims, especially the yemani people, and that it will not die, no matter how hard the zionist enemy tries to kill and annihilate it. organizing the lead of... the celebration of international quds day in yemen, a day designated by the founder of iran's islamic revolution, ayatullah khumaini, to annually mobilized the worlds of free people in support of the palestinian cause. 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
2:49 am
believe that palestine will always remain the central cause of the nation as long as palestinian territories remain under israel. campaign in gaza has been among deadliest and most destructive campaigns of genocide we've ever seen, besides thousands of human losses, air rates have also damaged or totally destroyed all types of infrastructure, including homes, mosks, schools and medical centers. earlier we took a closer look in our explainer program. the us is really onslot on the gaza's trip 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
2:50 am
one from the eu foreign policy chief joseph bararal. who said 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, 70,000 tons of these explosives have been dropped in the gaza strip. this number is surely to rise since the israeli regime will be receiving new batch of us 50200 pound bomb. well the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in this map, the largest destruction has occurred in northern gaza, 81%. the total buildings there, terms of the number 37,100, the grand total amounts to 1707, it's kind of hard to see here, but that
2:51 am
accounts for 61.1% of 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 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 medical 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 78% of the total roads 130 wells 56.2% and 30 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
2:52 am
for their lives, actually. well israel is also after erasing palestine's heritage in the gaza strip. some of the examples of that that we picked, monasteries, mosks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic uh houses. you can see the figures there, the one that stands out here was 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 mosques 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 large scale immigration for the ethnic cleansing of gaza's palestinian population. this is what many organizations believe is israel's intense, that's it for your latest here on press tv everyone, thanks for joining
2:53 am
us and goodbye for now. شيع الاولين، وما ياتيهم من رسول الا كانوا به

يستهزئون، كذلك نسلكه في قلوب المجرمين، لا يؤمنون به، وقد خلت سنه الاولين. ولو فتحنا عليهم بابا من السماء فظلوا فظلوا فيه يعرجون لقالوا انما سكرت ابصارنا بل نحن قوم مسحورون.
