these are the words of the staff of the islamic republic's mission to the un. our own correspondent in the region, alexander belibov, talks about the role ismail haniyeh played in the life of hamas. the strike on the hotel in the north of tehran, where the head of the hamas politburo ismail hanei was staying, was carried out today at about 2:00 am , the building was reportedly attacked by some guided aircraft munition launched not from the territory of iran and tehran hamas has already accused. attacks by the israeli foreign intelligence service massad, but official tel aviv has not yet taken responsibility for the liquidation of haniya. ismail hanei arrived in tehran the day before, where he took part in the inauguration ceremony of the elected president of the islamic republic, masoud pezeshkien. ismail hani is a businessman, billionaire one of the richest palestinians on the planet, became the head of the government of the palestinian authority in 2006, and in 2017 the head of the hamas politburo. for the last few years he has lived permanently in qatar.

it was he who acted as the movement’s representative in indirect negotiations with israel regarding ending the war in the gaza strip and the release of hostages, and in fact was the representative of hamas in the international arena. and now, with his death, the process of peaceful resolution of the conflict can be considered virtually stopped. haniyeh's murder was the second high-profile incident in the middle east in the past 24 hours. the night before, the israeli defense army was at its strongest. a blow to the capital of lebanon, beirut, the shiite district of dahiya, in the south, was attacked city, which is considered a stronghold of the hazbal movement. this is where its headquarters and supreme coordinating council are located. as a result of the air raid, according to lebanese media, at least four people were killed and about twenty more were injured. we were passing here, i was passing here on a motorcycle, we went outside and 2 minutes later we heard the sound of an explosion, there were two impacts, one after the other, they were not so strong, but it was obvious that it was an impact. the idf said that the target of

the attack on beirut was a high-ranking khazbalah military commander fuad shukr, who oversaw the movement's missile program and was number two in the organization after its leader. sheikh hassan nasraly. the israel defense forces carried out a targeted strike in beirut against fawuchukr, also known as seeth mohson, hezbollah's most senior military commander and head of its strategic division. fout shukr was the right hand of hassan nasrola, the leader of hezbollah and his advisers in planning and directing attacks and operations. the strike on beirut, according to the israelis, was a response to saturday's attack on the dutch heights, which killed 12 people and wounded about thirty more. at night , an air raid alarm was heard again in the northern regions of israel, and it was reported that several squadrons of drones were launched from lebanon at once. the attack on beirut last night and the murder tonight in tehran of the leader of the hamas politburo will absolutely not go unanswered. moreover, these events

will almost certainly lead to an even greater consolidation of forces, the so-called axis of resistance in its desire for revenge israel for the death of senior leaders of hamas and hazbalah. and as for israel, apart from literally a single statement, no clear reaction to the murder of ismail haniyeh has yet been received. anna voronina will tell you who spoke out in what manner. ministers, keep silent, deputies and military officers too, the official authorities in israel cannot comment on the death of ismail heni, as the jerusalem post writes, such an order was given by the offices. netanyahu, however, cannot keep track of everyone. this is the right way to cleanse the world of this corruption, no more imaginary peace treaties, capitulation, no mercy for these mortals, the iron hand that strikes them will bring peace and a little comfort will strengthen our ability to live in peace

with those who desire peace. death makes the world a little better. the wave was picked up by israeli bloggers, journalists and businessmen, calling last night historic on social networks. savoring israel's victory, promising that the murder of ismail kheniya is just the beginning, complaining that there is no rejoicing on this occasion from the western allies, in their for some reason, the press does not call one of the hamas leaders a terrorist. bbc narration about ismail heniya, not a single word about how he is the head of one of the deadliest terrorist organizations in history, not a single word about the october 7th massacre, not a single word about the blood of thousands on his hands, shame on you bbc. at this. neither the bbc, nor cnn, nor any other world publication could obtain a comment from the israeli military regarding the death of haniyeh. however, the minister of defense of the republic nevertheless touched upon the events of last night in passing during his communication with fighters. we do not want war, but we are preparing for any possible development

of events. you have a very important role to play - to protect the citizens of the state of israel in very difficult conditions against air threats. at the same time, the local press notes that for israel haniya will die in tehran. have dramatic consequences, both in terms of the reaction from iran and arab countries, and in terms of the negotiation processes for the release of hostages and a ceasefire. according to ednews, hania's death may lead to a complete stop of contacts. of course, now the hostage issue is reaching a dead end. here, i think, external actors must play a role. this is primarily the usa and iran. neither iran nor the united states, nor iran and the united states in a confrontation with each other, of course, neither side needs this. in the meantime , israel, fearing a response, is strengthening the security of its athletes; as the media write,

additional security was assigned to the participants of the olympics in paris for fear that they would become a target for death ismail hania. and further. on our air there is a special report from margarita semenyuk, the front line of production, about how russian businesses and volunteers connected all their power to help our army win at the front. combat death in the rear, how russian entrepreneurs help the military in the northern military district zone, in general, i wanted to go to fight, but they didn’t understand me, they said, go home. a mission that united the entire country. we ship almost every month. 26 have already sent monuments to the son of the fatherland, how business helps install sculptures heroes of russia, in the north of the murmansk region in luosttor, and there stands the very first monument to a northern military district soldier on the kozha peninsula. with care for those who fight at the front. faith is

the only thing we have now, and we want to pass all this faith on to our boys. this is help to the homeland.

with the beginning of isvo, business owners began to independently look for ways to provide assistance and organized fundraisers on their own initiative: assistance is not only financial, the company purchases products, technical equipment needed by soldiers, medicines and adapt production to the demands of the front. there are two big components, yes, as usual, that is, the first part of the business, which is the front line. well, the goods that they produce or the trading networks there, what they sell and so on, the second part is the business that donates money directly to the fund account for everything to win, and if we talk about this second category, then it’s more than 300,000 transactions, our first parcel is stewed meat, because we are manufacturers of stewed meat, we also make it ourselves. i'm a cry i threw it into the conversation with my guys that if anyone has the desire, you can

help in any way you can. we collected a whole gazelle, for all the teams that i have. this is how the humanitarian mission of the cherepovets meat products store began. now holidays have been canceled in the shops, all efforts are being devoted to increasing production volumes, increasing incomes, so that there are more resources to help the front, says the general director of the store, zalena martynova. in general, i wanted to go to war. but they didn’t understand me, they said: go home, i left, so i would go, why not, in general, if necessary, if they become and we don’t have men, it seems to me that not a single woman will refuse, i’m honest, but there are no women who could to say that no, i won’t go, she will, in order for her child to sleep peacefully, she will get up and go, so i think i’m not the only one, there are many of us, we can’t be defeated, i’ll say that for sure, not yet. those who were born, and as they say, this one was not born, the one who can defeat us. 2 years without giving up

with bated breath and thoughts of the fighters, zalina’s team works, here in a small workshop they produce semi-finished products from natural raw materials, products that are called homemade. this is how our day begins, here every morning, when i go into the store, what are you doing today, sasha, now there are delicious treats, then i will, by the way, how many kilograms will we make of them, i make 30. anton nefedovsky is here with his sons maxim and mark. now the boys help peel onions, but more often with volunteers they collect parcels for the military, load gazelles, they write letters. it is, of course, very touching to watch how children draw all this, write words of support, that we are waiting for you, waiting for you with victory, that come back, everything will be fine, this is of course the most touching thing that i saw there, because we are trying in each parcel, put a small postcard or some kind of souvenir that is made. having learned about the death of

soldier alexander shostakov, a resident of cherepovets, zalina martynova decided to perpetuate his memory. in january of this year, on zalina’s initiative, they began develop a model of a sculpture of a hero who gave his life for his homeland. the boy grew up, well, one might say, before our eyes, because we knew him, we saw his mother too, here are her poems, she was... asked, well, before that we did

another job for them in this city, so we they knew a little there, they already trusted us and they turned to us, so they said that a fighter was needed for the walk of fame. sculptor marina rakhmatolinana immediately began work, created a frame sketch, a small model of the future monument, paying special attention to details: the shape of the eyes, look, calm smile, position of hands and machine gun, military uniform, for marina this is the third job and how she says it is important. natural, difficult, it is always difficult to sculpt to recreate the image of a hero in the most portrait likeness possible, this is a study of the material, this is a study of photography.

alloy castings, constant communication with the customer zalina martynova, entrepreneur zalina allocated money from the family budget for this work in order to give a memory to the parents and the city of the hero. twenty-six-year-old alexander, a warrior who from the first days special operation went to the front to defend the country, died heroically. the entrepreneurs of cherepovets decided to perpetuate the memory of their hero, they ordered this sculpture: life and a quarter, that is, it is a little larger than... alexander himself. the perfect portrait likeness was copied from a photograph. that's exactly how sasha was. and now the sculpture is being sent to cherepovets, where it will stand in the park of the victory museum. now everyone will know about him. the sculpture of alexander shostakov, who died for the future fatherland, will become a symbol of all residents of cherepovets who heroically gave their lives at the front. the monument will be installed in

the open-air museum victory park. and the city is helping those who are now on the front line with everything they can - telling them. serta a small business was born all thanks to five-year-old sophia. the girl saw a terrible dream in which the city of russian sailors was attacked by enemies. sofia told her mother about this, and to calm her daughter down, elena sushkova made the first gingerbread with her. today sophia is 15 years old. well, we were actually attacked by enemies in 2014. so, she decided to send these to the guys at the front

gingerbread she wrote a fairy tale. here. and she sent gingerbread cookies to... the front to the guys who fought there for russia, so it turns out that we won, returned to russia, business began to grow even more, grow, grow, and now it has grown to such a social level, as if when many people know about us, the sevastopol gingerbread bakery opened more than 10 years ago, at a turning point for the entire peninsula and the country, in 2014. this year, in honor of joining russia, the masters baked products for the whole country and sent them to the regions as gratitude for their support. we we realized that this is our mission, and we will all do this as a family. and at that difficult time, once a week we went with the whole

family to checkpoints, baked gingerbread cookies and distributed them to the children. we supported them, i brewed old russian sbiten, this is our real original russian drink of the 10th century, which consists of honey, ginger, cinnamon, the dacha painted with her small hand, at that time she was only 5 years old, during a special military operation the creator business elena sushkova and her team increased production volumes to 200 kg of baked goods per day, the bakery sent tens of thousands of gingerbread to the front.

because safety comes first. an electric dryer is an important thing for all soldiers who spend most of their time in dugouts in the trenches. if we're not mistaken, we 're here in just a few months. at the beginning of its history, the first ones were delivered and from time to time they order them from us, in the summer there seem to be fewer orders for this, we make them for free, we simply supply them to the units that send a request,

sometimes people come and say: we want to help, please take them, south ural entrepreneurs in 2023 won the business success competition in the category of the best technological project, manufacturers claim that the dryer heats up to 45-60° under a pea coat, a few hours and a jacket... the heater can be used as an electric heated floor or a heated ceiling. we can heat rooms, we can heat beds, and now we’re having fun with electric insoles. that is, this is exactly the option when people, when it’s cold, need their legs didn't freeze. igor panasyuk’s company has been engaged in electric heating for 15 years. the products have already replaced imported goods, for example, german heating systems for expressways.

we say that yes, we can do it or we can’t, at some point we begin to try to make some models, we submit them for testing, at some point we refine them, and then very often it all comes to industrial application. tundra is a modified model of a popular all-terrain vehicle that is not afraid of off-road conditions. 450 kg, such all-terrain vehicles are already used in

oil and timber companies, enterprises laying power lines, scientific stations, and now even at the front, machines have become indispensable, here we make six models, on average we make one machine, if we take this type of equipment from the beginning of technology. tasks before the release of the car takes us on average 24 working days, the car is ready, on average these are the machines, people of two people, a welder, an assembler, make 12 cars a year, in 2016, a businessman from tyumen dmitry ilyev assembled with a team of enthusiasts the first all-terrain vehicle, we were satisfied with the result and decided to design a second one, gradually the garage workshop... turned into a full-fledged production. the plant, therefore, began to work at full speed, they gave it a trade name, which means they called it an all-terrain vehicle, the tundra brand snow and swamp-going vehicle began

to work. at the moment, the plant produces eight models of this type, we have two production facilities, one production facility in the city of krasnoyarsk, where larger vehicles are made, the second production facility is located in the city. the plant currently produces eight models, manufacturers are located. 90% of the components are domestic, so even at the front the all-terrain vehicle is easy to subordinate; low-pressure wheels will cope with any off-road obstacles. we are discussing with the guys, with the fighters, what they need, what they need, and sort of send these machines, of course, this machine for the front line may not be very successful due to the fact that what kind of technologies exist now, but somewhere... front-line territories, as we call them mistresses, they can help very well, they can supply ammunition, they can they can supply water, they can supply firewood, in which case they can participate in the evacuation of the wounded,

yes, in fact, to be in trend, you need to produce a lot of good quality products, and one machine cannot do everything, executive director of the company... manufacturer of dressings alexander gershstein says that with the beginning of a special military operation, the plant began to work for the needs of the front, every month donating products worth 2 million rubles to military personnel free of charge. more than 300 distributors help sell the plant's products, with the start of a special military operation, some medical products began to be sent to the front as humanitarian aid; last year alone , about 20 tons of goods were given to soldiers and in the hospital. the company's executive director , alexander gershtein, sent the first humanitarian cargo in march of twenty-two . then all types of products that were manufactured at this plant, which is about 200 goods, were transferred to donetsk. since then...

the team has been helping to equip combat first aid kits, medical backpacks, helping military doctors and medical units. now, for example, the popular front told us that our products are in great demand on evacuation trains, because the guys are being transported to the wounded, and there is no way to bandage them, they put our bandage on for 3 days, and they are transported just right and the wound is cleaner , not inflamed, it doesn’t stick, that’s it, we didn’t know this, that is, the popular front told us this, just by observing. as this happens, we always perceive what they say from there, it is very important to us. to begin with we take wound filler, this sponge is a filler, and we cut it to the size of the wound. pavel fedorov is a former doctor, now the head of the company demonstrates an innovative development, a vacuum device for rapid wound healing. the sponge should cover the wound, but without touching the healthy

skin in the area of ​​damage. we take a drainage port, remove the protective layer , install it on the hole, let’s say we will have this channel for collecting liquid, we make a second one for supply, the advantage of such vacuum treatment is wound is processed automatically, one drainage cleans the wound, a medicinal solution is pumped through the second, the technology has become one of the most popular in the area. with the help of vacuum therapy, wounds heal three to four times faster. previously, this type of equipment was not particularly actively used in our country, and, in my opinion, starting in march or april of twenty-two, but for the first time a hospital approached us with a rather large order. and then we collected this large order. this was the first time when the doctors could say that it all started. that there is, since the beginning of svo, we...

new hospitals are equipped with such modern medical equipment, pavel fedorov’s team regularly supplies vacuum devices to new regions. russian business is actively involved in helping soldiers and volunteers who work in the northern military district zone. over two years, entrepreneurs transferred more than 15 billion rubles. 12,000 tons of humanitarian aid were collected. all of it was accumulated in the regional branches of the popular front and delivered to soldiers on the front line and

civilians in liberated cities. we have one company that regularly donates cars to us, and they have already donated more than 200 pieces, well, these are new cars, foreign cars, popular pickup trucks, yes, that is, there is such a company, we don’t even count it in money, or there are our good friends and partners who endlessly transport these vehicles for us from the regions, starting from the far east to rostov in order... i will lead them to the fighters, yes, that is , we can safely say that the whole country is included and a huge number of both businesses, so and it’s just that caring people in our country help the front every day. every month , business assistance to the front becomes more targeted and detailed. russian entrepreneurs maintain contact with units in the area of ​​the special military operation and are sensitive to all

new requests from the military. participation in hostilities, such powerful support helps soldiers and officers maintain morale and bring victory closer. a one-time payment for fighters who sign a contract to serve in the northern military district zone is 400,000 rubles. but the regions are already reacting, is added. your contribution, what amounts can the military expect and what is known about the timing? in russia, the third stage of the exercise of non-strategic nuclear forces. the iskans have moved to the designated areas, aviation is involved, and what tasks the military is working on. squall, statement about the murder of the head of the hamas politburo. he has already been convicted in the kremlin.
