israel carries out another terror attack on the syrian capital damascus, assassinating number of people, including five iranian military advisors. the attack targeted a three-story residential building in the city's mesa neighborhood, which houses several diplomatic missions. iraq's islamic resistance says that has launched a barrage of missiles at the us1 asad base in western iraq. reports say this is the biggest anti-us of operation by the iraqi resistance since october 7. there have been no immediate reports of casualties. 106 days into the

israely war on the gaza strip, the regime continues with this carpet bombing campaign across the besieg palestinian territory. the gaza health ministry says 165 palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours. the overall death doll from the regime's war has risen to nearly 2500. new un figures indicate the women are among the main victims of the israel regime's carnage in gaza. according to un women, out of nearly 25,00 people killed in the bessieg territory since october. 7th, some 70% makes up women and children, says two mothers are killed every hour by israel, and israeli forces have carried out fresh raids on two refugee camps in the occupied west bank, abducting several palestinians. one of the camps is neil outfits, and the other is located in northern west bank. israel has intensified its raids and arrests across much of the occupied territory since october the 7th.

يا قائدنا فوضناك فوضناك فوضناك يا قائدنا فوضناك فوضناك فوض معك يا قاعدنا فوض معك فوض معك فوض معك يا قاعدنا الله بالروح بالدم نفتيك يا اقصاء بالروح بالدم نفسيك يا عقصاء جدا الله اكبر الله i want you to look in the mirror and ask where was when gaza was going

through a genocide. south africa is here, before this court in the peace palace. it has done what it could, it is doing what it can by initiating these proceedings, by seeking interim measures against itself as well as against israel. south africa now respectfully and humbly. calls on this honorable court to do what is in its power to do, to indicate the provisional measures that are so urgently required to prevent further irreperable harm to the palestinian people in gaza, whose hopes, including for their very survival, are of now vested in this court. thank you, so free, free palestine from the river to... thank you

south africa from palestine thank you south africa from palestine thank you south africa.

of let's talk about uh demona, many people say, well nobody knows, you see i blush, you say demona and i blush, we're not supposed to talk about demona, but go ahead, because it's a tabu, it's a tabu, it's a secret, negev desert, south of israel, this mysterious complex away from the public eye employs thousands of all sworn to secrecy. when its existence was discovered, israel said it was textile factory, never admitting its true purpose, making polutoneum for atomic bombs,

we need answers and we go to meet one of the... people in israel that knows what is going on inside demona. we are dealing with disarmment of weapons of mass destruction, meaning nuclear, chemical and biological, we're the only ngo dealing with this right now in israel. when you believe that this are the weapons that keeps you safe, when this is the common belief, then the question raised, are we the next country to use them? israel is nuclear arms. state, chemical armed state and biological armed state. nuclear weapon is not a weapon that aimed at an army, it's a weapon that destroys a city. are we willing to destroy any city in the middle east? mothers, children, fathers, citizens, not soldiers. we want to know more about the

most. secretive nuclear program in the world just transmitted at the request of the is the israel nuclear plant of demona poisoning and threatening the lives of millions throughout the middle east from tel avi we go south our destination dimona but it's too far you know can you get closer please? 'approaching the nuclear plant is a high risk, the highway splices through the heat and sand of the negev desert, a barbed wire fence edges the road, signs posted every few hundred meters warn drivers not to stop their vehicles under

any circumstances. they have cameras they will see, this is a military zone if don't go'. off the road because we will shoot your ass military zone, finally we can have a distant look at one of the world's most secret facilities, an exclusive view of secret israel is hiding since the 1960s, demona nuclear plants, that's the gameside, this is the gate to the monar, yes? only few people in the world can say they know each corner of the demona nuclear plant, and all them are sworn to secrecy, but there is

someone that knows exactly how the building looks like, it was secret competition with the uh... design of the civic center of new atomic research center that was to be built in demona in the south part of of israel, for security reasons we couldn't call it a big center of research was called a civic center in the negative because in the 60s it wasn't such big news to have textile factory in dimona, so if you built something large in dimona, you could very easily say, you see this is textile factory, only that this

textile factory had dome and wasn't a typical of of textile things, but it wasn't seen from the road, it was kind of a... of a of an agreed, agreed quietness, i have the photograph, while the project was being built. not when it was occupied, then at that time the security eye was not that strong, so i took a photographs, later, later, many years afterwards, i all of sudden got several several photos from an unknown source, but with the stamp of the of the censorship, so i understood that somebody from the from the side sent me was that was taken that were taken there, there's a sign that i can open

my my my small portfolio and and make it public, this is the courtyard of the of the the main building from the other side looking towards the towards the entrance, you see the entrance is here and this is from hooking from other side and the same the same build. thing, this is the detail of the stairs leading from the to the roof, you can have a roof cover, as you see here, you can go up up to the roof under cover, there's a kind of how many years you kept these photos in secret, how many years 60 building, the did you went inside? haven't seen my own, my own... project since then, i could go in all these years. this message is transmitted at

the request of the united states of president kennedy took office, he knew from a cia secret report that israel was developing nuclear program in the naget, at the beginning of january 1961, kennedy met the israel. ambassador in washington and expressed that the usa wanted to inspect demona to be sure about its purposes. israel accepted, but under one condition, if it was done a secret basis. for five months, the visit of the american inspectors to demono nuclear plant was postponed several times by israel. finally, ultimatum from usa was accepted. two american scientists were

allowed to visit demona in may 1961. israel imposed several rules on the american inspectors. they were not allowed to take any pictures or issue any comments about dimona. when the inspectors finally entered the plant, they were misled. they were shown fake control room on the ground floor. 12th of january 1961, the aim at the building built in the neguev was clear. in a high-level meeting between president eisenhower and his staff, the us secretary of defense informs the president that based on intelligence findings israel was lying and dimona was. not for peaceful purposes, they were unaware of

the six floors below where the plutonium was made. in search of answers we traveled to berlin in germany. here we are going to meet zantha hall. she is an expert in nuclear. weapons and the director of international positions for the prevention of nuclear war. zanter hall is also the coordinator of the european parliament commission against nuclear proliferation. the israel atomic energy commissioncy is one of the most secret institutions in the world. it's responsible for demona, its chairman is netanyahu, but it's not even officially recognized as existing, all the other nuclear plants in the world are monitored by the atomic energy

agency, but not the ones in israel, so we think it's about time that demona was also monitored. the one thing that needs to happen is that an independent body like the iaea would go into demona and find out what is going on there, what is the state of the substance? the building, is the containment the nuclear reactor still intact? what are they doing about cooling, where is the nuclear waste being stored, how is it? being stored and all these questions, they need to be answered, we need some transparency. israel has not ratified the non-proliferation treaty a way of invoiding inspections to its nuclear sites. why do you think that the

international community behaves with israel with this special? and we first of all, we are not obliged, we are not part of the treaties, we never signed the treaties, so we don't oblige, we never said we won't, that's one thing, second thing is the us, and the third thing is the holocaust, how guilt, do you see germany, germany sold just the submarines, the us, they let us steal uranium, you go to the un, to the npt, to the... operation treaty and you hear the us delegation reading their statements and when they talk about israel you see paragraphs that you know from the language was written by israelies. so israel has a special treatment? yes, we're a special case. yosi

melman is known as an investigative journalist specialized in intelligence and strategic affairs. he was described by wikileaks as an information mule who has exchanged tips with the mossack. but in 2009, melman uncovered a terrible secret about demona. workers at the nuclear reactor facility were made to volunteer to drink uranium in 1998 as part of an experiment. the workers. himself already cannot say anything, they have so many, so many contracts saying that they cannot say, the question is the family, so usually in order for them to get compensation, the families also have to say they will not sue, they will not say, they will not speak to the media and so on, so we know only when they have settlements, when the calls say settlements that they give some

money, but we don't know how much usually and we don't know how many and we don't know what conditions, and also the doctors are... only doctors that work with the commission, i mean, if you only have nuclear reactor that is making energy like gernob or fukushima, that's just one thing, you can, you have lots of possibilities for accidents, but if you got added to that, you've got uranium enrichment, you've got plutonium reprocessing, and you have actually the making of the warheads, then you have, you know, many more possibilities, have there already been accidents, there's been some... rumors and speculation that in 1966 there was a criticality accident at demona, we don't know what's been happening in that plant, and actually it seems that there's probably more secrecy than there was in the soviet union, because quite quickly after the chennob accident it was actually said that there had been the accident, so i think israel is more

better to compare on the level of secrecy about nuclear program with perhaps north korea, uh because we know nothing about their program either, we do know that they have one, and at least north korea is making claims that it has nuclear weapons, whereas israel is pretending that it doesn't, so i'm not trying to say that there will be worse or better, um, but there many more possibilities, so the risk is definitely higher. our next stop ins search of answers about the israeli nuclear program and its secrets is a palestinian village. darria, very close to demona, and a military field where israel might be burying nuclear waste from demona. in daria, a palestinian doctor

struggles to keep demona's victims alive. هلا احنا كنا ملاحظين انه في امراض تاتينا غريبه جدا بنوعيات مختلفه فاستفزنا على اساس انه نعمل دراسات للوضع في منطقه الجنوب خصوصا لكن ما كنا نعرف انه في شيء اسمه اشاعات فعملنا فحوصات خاصه في مناطق متعدده في جنوب الضفه فوجدنا انه يوجد هناك اشعاعات. مش موجوده في الطبيعه الا في حاله صفر مثل ماده السيزيون هذه ماده لا تنتج الا في حرب نوويه او cesium is not present in nature and can only be found in

areas where a nuclear disaster or test takes place. we know how sesium works um on the body uh because of chernoble and fukushima. they've both of those accidents show showed us lot of about how cesium actually. affects human health and that there are claims uh that uh that there has been a study that has found cesium in the region and sesium is an indication that some something has happened with nuclear activity it most likely would be depending on the amount of it would would be from nuclear accident or it could be from leaking radioactive waste. in some areas of palestine, the presence of sesium is at the same levels as in chernobyl or fukushima,

places where the worst nuclear accidents took place. it's um, it's a radioactive isotope, it has a half life of 30.2 years and um, it acts like a... calcium or or like salt, it's water soluble so it can spread very quickly through the body and it tends to concentrate then in muscle tissue, and you also have muscles in certain organs like heart and stomach and intestines, so that that's where often season will end up, and at that point it starts then to mutate the cells within the those muscles and you end up with cancer of the colon, cancer of the stomach of the lung.

counter is an electronic device that measures the level of radioactivity. these devices are allowed for use everywhere in the world. it is sold everywhere, even online, but not in israel. despite claiming to be democratic, israelis cannot buy a gaiga counter inside israel. one of the major problems that we have, again, it goes back to the secrecy problem, is that we can't even measure the amount of radiation in the area because that's not allowed, and the israeli law even says that if you take a geiger counter into the area around demona and measure the radioactivity, you could be then sentenced to 15. is in prison, so nobody's going to do that, i know people even thought about doing it, but they they they didn't. it's certainly very risky to try to do any research on this at all, which is why number one problem is to

get rid of the secrecy. what is the security of israel, and why the security of israel is so different than the security of the people that live in israel, and we hear rumors about buildings with the levels of cancer. is unbelievable and when we wanted to ask doctors we also didn't get any answers and one of funny or sad answer we got was that we cannot measure the amount of a cancer radiation related cancer in israel because we had so many people coming from chernobyl from kiev and that changed the numbers so that was one answer we got and

هلا بتعرف صار في علاقات انسانيه بينا فتسال عن فلان وين فلانقول لك مات طب ليش مات شو سبب موته يقول لك مصاب بالسرطان طب من وين ما يحكيش most of them this is if they were rich people they wouldn't live next to a reactor guess they wouldn't be depending on this reactor for the livelihood few years ago they all got iodine peels that were very old iodine peels and

one of them has already died, his son fears the consequences of telling his father's story, and only accepts to talk if we protect his identity. ابوي قبل ما يمرض بالتحديد اشتغل في مفاعل ديمونا، بالضبط في نفس المكان المفاعل كان يشتغل ببير او بمنطقه تحت الارض، كان يعمل على ترميم بعض الشقوق الموجوده بالمكان. لما كان يروح على شغله كان يدخل بسياره هي السياره مسكره ممنوع يشوف البرا او المكان اللي هو رايح لا له كان يشتغل بدون اي نوع من انواع ال اجراءات الوقايه على العكس تماما نفس الزلمه اللي كان يجيب له الاكل او الشرب كان يكون متخذ كافه الاجراءات الاحتياطيه او الوقائيه ضد ال المخاطر اللي ممكن اتعرض لها اشتغل. حوالي ثلاث

شهور بالمفاعل لما انهى الشغل مباشره بلشت تظهر عليه اعراض المرض كان يقح ما يقدر يتنفس كان يعني بالنهايه اخر شيء على الاكسجين كان عايش وكان يتساقط شعره واعراض كثيره منها يعني بالنهايه الله توفاه بال 2006 ابوي برضه بعمر صغير مات يعني تقريبا مات 46 سنه مdical report from a jordanian hospital is clear this former demona employee. suffered from cancer, officially nobody claims the demona is the cause, but this and many other cases come from the same region. طبعا في حالات اخرى موجوده بنفس القريه يعني توفوا في منهم اطفال صغار يعني تجاوزش اعمارهم العشر سنوات في نساء كبيره بالعمر ممكن 50 سنه، في حالات مصابين

بالمرض حتى الان موجودين. يعني وخصوصا انه هي المنطقه قريبه جدا لديمونا والاصابه بهالمرض كانت بالسنوات الاخيره يعني من بعد بناء مفائع الديمونا ومن بعد ما بلش الشغل فيه israeli nuclear program is surrounded by novel atmosphere this man is. milscher, famous hollywood producer behind films like pretty woman, club of fighters or la confidential. he was also good friends with shimon peris and benyamin netanyahu. recently, he revealed his double life. during all these years he worked as a mossard agent, helping israel to

buy technology needed to make. nuclear weapons, under a hollywood producer cover, he was actually kind of godfather of israel's nuclear program. this all carries out another terror attack from the syrian capital damascus, assassinating number of people, including five irani military advisors. the attack targetted a three-story residential building in the city's mesa neighborhood, which houses several diplomatic missions. iraq's islamic resistance says it has launched a barrage of missiles at the us run an-assad base in western iraq. report say this is the biggest anti-us operation by the iraqi resistance since october 7. there have been no immediate reports of casualties.
