anger amongst people around the world is really seeing at the the number of palestinians are killing, but also um syrians, iranians, um, really nilly, the aid workers, journalists, so i think this is particular provocation aimed at iran to try and get escalation, really the israelis are unique in the region of wanting escalation because they're feeling more and more isolated. the islamic revolution guards course says israel attacked irans." mission in damascus out of desperation caused by the irreparable defeats that it has recently suffered. the irgc says palestinians in gaza and the resistance in the region have dealt heavy blows to israel. regional resistance groups also condemn the attack. hamas called it a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of both iran and serious sovereignty. the palestinian islamic jihad described it as a cowardly act and attempt to distract from the regime's failures in gaza. lebanon says: vowed that israel's crime will

strip has been among the deadliest and the most destructive campaigns, besides thousands of human losses, the air rates have also damaged or totally destroyed all types of structures, including homes, mosks, schools and medical centers. we have taken a closer look at the issue in our explainer program. the us is early onslot on the gaza 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 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, 70,00 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 500 and 20 pound bombs, well the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in this map, the largest destruction has occurred in uh 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% 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 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 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 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 gazans 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, masks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic uh houses. you can see the... figures there, the one that stands out here was the historic houses, as matter of fact, this one here, the great ari mosque, it's 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 large scale immigration for the ethnic cleansing. of gaza's palestinian population, this is what many organizations believe is israel's intent. palestinians in the west bank have been enduring intensified raids by israel since the onset of the regime's war on gaza. israely occupation forces have carried out fresh rates towns, villages and refugee camps across occupied territories. the regime

"the islamic resistance in iraq says that has carried out fresh attacks on israeli positions response to the regime's ongoing genocide in gaza. the umbrella resistance group said its fighters used brones to target the taf air base in central israeli occupied territories. group said the attack reaffirms is determination to continue striking israeli strongholds. added that the operations are in response to the israely massacre of palestinian civilians, including women, children and the elderly." " in recent months, the islamic resistance in iraq has carried out series of attacks against israely positions. it has also hit us military bases in iraq and neighboring syria, retaliation for washington's complicity in the israeli genocide in gaza. meanwile resistance group says it's ready to send military supplies to

intervention on the issue of building more affordable housing. rommin masary has more from paris. in a statistic which may amaze and anger those in their 20s and 30s, in 1973 the average french person dedicated just 10% percent of their income to housing, in places like lisbon, that figure is now 63%, as the housing situation across europe is being called the worst it has been in 70 years, with winter prohibitions on evictions ending with the arrival of spring, protests are being held across europe against the lack of affordable housing, houses are made for living in and not for financial speculation, this is a fundamental truth which has been forgotten by excessive french governments, they have turned their back on the many victims of our long-running housing crisis and across europe it's the same. what's worse is that they'll have many people evicted by

landlords looking to cash out tourist money for the summer olympics? one out of four french people suffer from serious housing problem, so it's no surprise that better housing has been a top issue for voters in election after election. there's a real lack of decent, new and safe housing in france. in europe, as much of our stock dates from after world war ii, the laws requiring that 20% of lodgings be made available to lower income citizens is not inforced, and we just don't see that the government cares about the incredible difficulty of finding affordable housing here in france. in paris, housing prices are up backbreaking 70% since 2009, the start of the great financial crisis and the failed response of far right. economic austerity. the hiking of interest rates in 2022 caused some housing markets in europe to decline slightly, but others continued to rise. that also caused building cost to sore,

reducing private construction. housing groups insist that lodging issues could be fixed nationwide in just five to 10 years, if the government's laws favored renters and regular citizens instead of land owners and real estate speculators. the primary culporate seems to lie in the refusal of right-wing economics to allow governments to invest tax revenue in building more affordable real estate and also in the vast selloffs to private corporations of government housing since the 1980s. ramin masahari, press tv, paris. iranians of mark the 2nd of the three lailatul nights, the religious occasion traditionally celebrates the revelation of the holy. quran to the prophet muhammad, may peace be upon him. however, with the ongoing genocidal war in gaza, this year, praying for the liberation of palestine has become the main theme of the ceremonies. reciting along
