12:35 am
says it will continue striking israel's positions until it stops the crimes against palestinians. now to talk uh more on what's happening in gaza, we are joined by monandeel press's on correspondent from ramana, nice to talk to you again, mona, now mona, can you give us an update on what is happening at the at gaza's main medical complex, the al-shifa hospital, the director of the hospital says that the situation inside the facility is quote, catastrophic, and this is while... the israeli army's rate continues for second day, unfortunately, that's right, the the aggression and surrounding the shifa hospital is continuing, and it seems according to statements by the israeli military, the
12:36 am
operation will continue and it might expand, well now as the internet and telephone services had completely collapsed across the ghaza strip because the lack of fuel, the main palestinian provider had said, and literally it had bring the blackout, even as israel is signaling to expand its operation, contacts with the with the with the with the hospitals, with the doctors, with the journalists is completely, we can see had been cut off, however some journalists are still using what's called as e sim, these sim that allow sims that allow the journalists to have internet connection, but it's very weak even though in the gauza strip and that's why we are receiving here in the occupied westbank news that the israeli military is
12:37 am
carrying out more strikes in the gauza strip as we are now receiving the israeli uh aircraft have targeted house in a nusairat in central the gaza strip, number of palestinians had been killed and injured, also the israeli military and israeli aircrafts carred out air strikes in hannus in alqarara area where a number of palestinians had been killed and wonded as well in the center of the gaza city in sheikh radhawan neighborhood the israel have targeted house and the israeli military revealed that this house is the house of a palestinian leader of what's called the freedom the freedom farter movement, the house of khalid abu hilal and number of palestinians had been wonded and killed in jabala, new massacre has been
12:38 am
carried out in less than an hour from now, where palestinians had been killed, we are speaking about children, women, elder. those who are being targeted, because at the end of the day, those palestinians with no electricity, no connection, no phones, no internet, they are remaining, those palestinians who are remaining in northern the gazap, they are in their houses and at the same time the israeli military is targeting these houses, what's worrying now is that the israeli military is signaling that they would carry out more operations and they would be targeting areas in south the gaza strap, this area where it it has to be or as the israels are claiming, they are demanding the palestinians who are still in northern the gaza strip to travel to the south because it would be safer for them, but
12:39 am
at the end of the day, even during the wile, while they were traveling on food, of course palestinians were not in vehicles, they were were walking in order to arrive to southern the gaza strip, they had been hit, many of the palestinians had been detained, as we knew from journalists and colleges in the gaz ship, number of palestinians had been detained on the way to hannunus, to rafa to der al-balh and at the same times are being carried out in khanunis, in derral in rafah, these areas would... israelis are trying to convince the world that it would be safe place for the palestinians who had been in northern the gaza strip so it's clearly we can say now that the israel is trying to convince the world that they would go on with
12:40 am
the operation in a shifa hospital the operation did not end as they claim but at the same time they continued their earth strikes and bombarding northern the gaza strip and south the goza strip and that's why more palestinians are being killed and wonded. the the thing that is worrying the palestinians as you have said "the red cross clearly said they are not able to contact any their employees there and even the palestinian cricent as as well, they are not able to contact anyone, they know that uh the winded palestinians if they were not immediately receive medication, they might die any time, so uh at the end of the day as doctors have been saying, if the palestinians are not. being killed by the israelis directly, they might die any any time because
12:41 am
they are not receiving any medication, no food is is available uh to the palestinians there, no clean water, the situation is becoming even worse, especially when we speak about the palestinians who are still inside the shiffa hospital or the ahly the baptist hospital and the indonesian hospital in northern, the gaza strip so... literally the palestinians there are expecting any time when they unfortunately they expecting their death, that's why the the the they are still urging the the word, the arab, the muslims as well, to pressurize those countries who can at the end of the day pressurize the israeli regime to stop their massacres and the crimes, on the... other hand we can say as the resistance groups are saying the hamas movement and qassame brigades they are saying
12:42 am
that the the the palestinian fighters there are still clashing with the israeli forces around the shif hospital in several areas in northern the gaza strip and this means that the israels are are also the palestinian of course resistance are causing severe damage and and glosses among the the israeli soldiers and this has been revealed by the israeli military, however they are saying that the operation in the ghaza strip or their war against the ghaza strip will not come to an end within let's say the the the coming days or even weeks the israelies are saying they are ready to go on until they completely end anything called hamas and they would destroy the infrastructure. the capabilities of hamas at the end of the day, but what we are receiving that the
12:43 am
palestinians and the gaz ship believe that they have the rights and they completely support the palestinian resistance there otherwise if they do not stand strong in the face of the israeli atrocities then they might face another neckback catastrophy like what happened in 1948 like you like you said there's a black out in gaza, ismail sawapter, the director general of the government, media office in gaza, he has warned that the blackout could also allow israel to hide any evidence of this war crimes, he said that that's because israely military actions against hospitals and other cities uh will be hidden from the eyes of international organizations and countries around the world. now want to before we let you go, can you quick tell us uh, do you have any news from the northern border of the occupied territories? it seems that lebanon's resistance movement has carried out another strike against israel's military positions or
12:44 am
sites. yes, exactly, the israeli military said that rockets had been fired from southern lebanon into northern, the lands occupied in 1948 and that the rockets have had at least six or seven military sites in in the lands occupied in 1948, this means that number of israels had been wanted, but as usual, at the end of the day the israels do not uh reveal about how many israeli soldiers had been wonded or even called or even killed, no one knows, they tried to hide these information, the israeli military also said that they fired rocket at southern lebanon where they claim that a a man was trying to uh to fire rockets from this area
12:45 am
and they succeeded to prevent the the the the the rocket firing from southern lebanon into the lands uh at the end of the day we can say as the israel is claim that these areas in northern the lands occupied in 1948 had been completely empted no israel settlers are living there, but this this doesn't mean that it's completely empty, israeli soldiers have been stationing in these areas in the north and maybe in the last few days the situation had been calm as the israeli military said, but since the early hours of thursday, rockets had been again fired from southern lebanon into the northern occupied territories. mona, thank you for the updates of very own mona candeal, our correspondent from ramala, thank you mona. now continue
