1:35 am
center or control room for hamas in this hospital. we avoid all the hospitals all the time. the... israelis, they have said that about rantisi hospital and they were lying, they've said that about al-quds hospital and everyone realized that they were lying and now everyone is watching their lies, even with the support of the united state administration, osama hamdan said the united states and israel have aired baseless allegations against hamas, he underscored the israeli military's failure to provide substantial evidence to prove hamas operation under the shifa hospital complex and then also examined the footage israel's military has put on the internet. the senior hamas official accused the regime of propagating untru stories about this bloody war on gaza. hamdan mentioned several cases of such israeli propaganda. in one of the cases, an

1:38 am
israel. brigadier general ismail khani said the operation showed israel's security is far more vulnerable than spiders web. the letter was addressed to the commander of the al-qassan brigades muhammad. he said the palestinian operation united muslim nations around the notion of jihad against israel. he said, now everybody believes palestine and the wider region will not be the same in the wake of al-axa flood. the iranian commander touched attacks by the resistance against israeli troops and armed vehicles, saying the strikes portrayed the creative side of the resistance. the iranian general said tehran will do its best to support the palestinian resistance in. its ongoing war, he said the resistance front will not allow israel to corner garzans and achieve its objectives. now to talk more on this, we are joined by mr. shabir risvy, political commentator from
1:39 am
chicago. shabir, welcome to press tv. now shabir, i want you to talk about uh the commanders, the commander of the force of iron iogc, his remarks. he hailed the operation alaxa flood, he said that it laid bear the fragility of israel, he said the operation showed israel's security is far more vulnerable than spiders web. now um mr. rizvy, can you elaborate on brigadier general ismail ghani's remarks? yes, salam alaikum, thank you for having me. i think first we have to start off by analyzing kind of uh the the emotion of this letter, it's an emotion, it's a letter that is supported by an emotion of triumph already. um, as you can see with what we see on the ground, the palestinian resistance has israel right where it wants them, israel is reacting, it is not taking its own measures, it is being forced to make decisions, based off this, they have been forced into engaging the resistance, but
1:40 am
every time they actually engage the resistance, they cover up their casualties, they cover up the loss of their vehicles, they instead are relying on this air campaign, this inhuman, this title bombing campaign to actually force the resistance out of whatever they may be, but they are ultimately failing. two, you also have the the international community, but also... people worldwide seeing the failure of israel and instead of actually engaging the resistance uh the true face of zionism is actually exposed because instead of actually going you know combat to combat maneuver they insist on bombing civilians they insist on uh war crimes they insist on using white phosphorus they insist on bombing hospitals and schools and now what we're also seeing is them fabricating uh lies right before the international audience we have seen time and time again the lies the lies of the israeli uh defense forces quote unquote being exposed
1:41 am
and so right now uh essentially the resistance has boxed in the zionist entity to point where there's no way that they can achieve all of their objectives there's simply no way because one they're they're losing on the ground and they're also losing uh the the support that they once had amongst even western leaders. now mr. rusvy, how have you seen the resistance by the algason? up to now considering that they are not just fighting the israeli forces, but uh a ground invasion that is backed by the us, if i'm not mistaken, the occupied regime has so far lost as many as 180 tanks in its battle against the resistance. yeah, i think the resistance has shown clearly that uh, it's military, it's militarily prepared to fight off the the zionist forces, it's blowing up tanks, it's it's ambushing soldiers. on october the 7th itself, we saw israeli soldiers caught by complete surprise, we saw their numbers being
1:42 am
wiped out by the palestinian resistance precision, we see them being able to actually control the battlefield, they the palestinian resistance is not reacting to to the zionist army, rather the zionist army is forced to react to palestinian resistance, and i think this is a this is key here because this is all about power. dynamics, if israel wants to quote on quote achieve all of its objectives, then it has to actually reconcile with the fact that it has to defeat hamas, but it simply can't, it's it's outgunned, it's outmaneuvered, the the zionist soldiers themselves, their moral is extremely low, if you've been able to kind of find the footage their of their soldiers on the ground, they they essentially say that they're fighting ghosts, um, this is the palestinian land, whether it's gaza or the rest of occupied palestine. "this is their home field advantage, the zionist army itself is only trained to occupy, it's not trained to fight
1:43 am
uh combat to combat scenarios like like it's being forced to now, it's it's an occupying army, it's forced to, it's trained to intimidate, it's trained to you know kidnapp children in the middle of the night, it's trained to um rely on air bombings in order to achieve any military objective, so when you actually have zius army." forces engage hamas face to face, they can't do it, they're losing, and they're covering up their fatalities, they're covering up their casualties because they're embarrassed, that's right, shebie, brigadier general ghani also said that now everyone believes in palestine, and the wider region will not be the same in the wake of the alaxa flood, mr. risvy, how do you see the future of israel and netanyahu and also the whole region? uh, i don't see a future for israel, let me start off by... saying that, i think this is a concrete, the all-ox flood operation is a concrete step forward, a big step forward to
1:44 am
the full and complete liberation of palestine. now when general coloni says that the region will not be the same again, i think there's there's different things that he can mean by that, so one, we have to see the zionist army conceed, now what that concession looks like, that's a little unclear, but ultimately one thing we know is for certain, there will be no military victory for the zionist army, two, um the zionist army, the zionist forces have exposed themselves to be these barbaric monsters in front of the entire international audience, we have seen them fant about bombing hospitals, we have seen them faunt about bombing children, we have seen them even uh defend themselves as they try as they bomb the refugee camp to supposedly kill one member of the islamic resistance group, so eventually the zinis army will have to answer for its crimes and i think what the zionist army is doing through these bombing campaigns, through these genocidal crimes is basically saying that they are not uh capable
1:45 am
of of of of being supported by an international community, this is a piraia quote on quote state, it's a paraya entity, and it should be sunned and it should be isolated, and and last but not least, of course where is the question of rebuilding uh gaza itself, what is that going to look like, who is going to pay for? the cost of all of this, and after after all the damage that we've seen here, if if the zin is army um refuses even allow humanitarian aid and then they're essentially showing the mil the international community that they're going to try to commit more genocide, they're going to try to commit more ethnic cleansing, this is a priria state showing itself, this is a priya state slowly isolating itself before the international community, and top of that, as they isolate themselves, they can't help but lie, they're in the hospitals right now blantly creating evidence uh to show that
1:46 am
supposedly hamas was in these hospitals and how do they do this? they rely on the... audience to essentially dignify their war crimes, so if you when you see these uh images of the idf soldiers entering hospitals with boxes that have white papers on them that's say medical supplies, why isn't it written in hebrew? why isn't it written in arabic right? it's written in english, why? because this is for a western audience, they're staging this for a western audience, so clear that they're lying to the world, and based on their own evidence that they seem to present and then the media mr. rizy, how can how how can they counter this western media propaganda? yeah, that's a great question. i think what we're seeing right now is really up to the netizans of the world. if you if you look at you, the idf accounts on for example, uh x, formally known as twitter, you have netizens that are picking apart these
1:47 am
videos uh, that you know israel post, for example, then they say, hey, this is actually inconsistency in here, can you... answer to this, then they end up deleting the videos, this has been documented multiple times by multiple observers uh, two, it's also going to be up to independent observers themselves, we would need an independent investigation that's free from westerners, free from western states, so no united states, no uk, no canada, we need the actual, we need actual independent investigations to go in and essentially prove without a doubt that what israel is doing is lying, because they completely. because if you aren't lying then why would you delete your so-called uh evidence? if you aren't lying, why do you need to backtrack on everything you're doing? if you aren't lying then why do you need to justify uh on and on and on again bombing hospitals and invading hospitals? this is the clear markings of a perious state that has been one built a lie and as two only existed
1:48 am
because it's able to manipulate a western audience. the west is waking, even the people in the west are waking up to this, we see an unp. campaign for support for palestine, this didn't come, this didn't fall out of the sky, this is people being able to see with their own clear eyes, that this is genocidal regime that's lying and has been only allowed to exist because of lies, and it's also backed by the lies of its own government, the united states repeats these lies, the united states media also repeats these lies, you would think that journalists for example, and the us would question you, the legitimacy of the proof that the zionist occupation uh tends to you know put out there, but instead they're acting as stonographer, so as we have this dual threat here where as designist army scrambles to produce evidence of their claims that you know for example hamas is operating from you hospital, then the western media repeats it, now you have two liars, so within this, not only is the zionist army delegitimizing itself, but the western media
1:49 am
and the western officials that insist that they're not lying are delegitimizing themselves too, so i think we're entering new era of just what how the world perceives the west, how the world perceives israel and what does justice really look like? on that note, i would like to thank mr. shabir rizvy, political commentator from chicago, thank you for your time sir, now continuing with the rest of the news, lebanon's resistance movement, hezbollah has carried out another strike against israel's military positions along the border, hizbollah fired rockets a missile towards seven israeli military sites. injuries have been reported amongst israeli soldiers. hezbollah and israeli troops have been engaged in direct clashes since the 7th of october when the regime ignited this bloody war machine to bombard the besieg gaza strip. hezbulah says it will continue striking israel's positions until it stops the crimes against palestinians. earlier this

week and international delegation of. writers, lawyers, journalists and activists went to egypt to push for the opening of the rafa border crossing, which connects the arab country to the besieg gaza strip, but members the delegation were arrested by egyptian authorities in the crossing and later deported. dankovalik a member of the group joined us earlier to explain what's happened to them. at the last minute, it like 5:30 in the morning when we were supposed to leave, they denied the international the opening of the rafa border and of course an end to the us support for the genocide in gaza and that's when we were arrested in front of the us embassy um in in cairo, i think they got
1:51 am
unnerved by the gathering of people in front the embassy, by the way, it was across the street from the embassy, it's not like it was right in front of it, it was across a very big uh uh lane, very big avenue in cairo, so it wasn't any threat to the physical integrity of the embassy, but when they came up to us, they made it clear, they were upset and disturbed by the fact that some of us were wearing cafeas, that some people had palestinian flags, they made it clear that's what they were concerned about, they asked if any of the members of the group were palestinian, even if they were palestinian americans, so that was clearly uh part of what was going on there. iran's foreign minister says the so-called humanitarian pause in gaza means nothing but the continuation of the killing and starvation of the defenseless palestinian people. hussein
