of your headlines for this hour on the 107th day of the us is really genocide in gaza, the death toll rises to more than 25,000 predominantly comprising women. and children. the palestinian resistance movement hamas says the alaa flood operation was necessary step and normal response to israel's plots of against palestinians and the us says it is taking the recent missile strike its major military base in iraq extremely seriously, attack claimed by the islamic resistance in iraq.

hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in teran. thank you for joining us. the death toll from israel's onslot on the gaza strip has surpassed 25,000 as a regime continues its deadly strikes on the beseed palestinian territory. the gaza health ministry says at least 178 people were killed. and 293 injured in just 24 hours, it put the number of those wounded since october the 7th at more than 62,600. thousands of bodies are also still under the rubble. some two-thirds of those killed in gaza are women and children. israel's aggression has also displaced hundreds of thousands of palestinians in gaza, which has been under near total blockade since the beginning of the onslot. doctors in gaza's european

hospital warn that children of facing humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing israel. they say the children are suffering from various illnesses, some of which are life threatening. the department of pediatrics here has almost 100 illness cases every day. in case the child comes to the hospital, they came under the circumstances of heavy illness. parents. face difficulties and fear coming to the hospital, so only heavily sick children come to the hospital. unfortunately, every day we lose lot of children due to medicine shortages, even simple medicines that should exist in every hospital, clinic or health center. in the hospital now, there is not even a simple treatment like acomol syrup. as you see here, acumal syrup is the simplest children's treatment that is available in hospitals. hardest thing is when children. come to the

hospital without the company of mother or father, an orphan, and we do not find the treatment for them, and unfortunately we lost a lot of children due to medicine shortages in the hospital. the palestinian resistance move in hamas says the alaxa flood operation was necessary step and normal response to israel's plots against palestinians. in a statement, hamas said alaa flood was meant to confront israel's plans to judize. palestinian territories and rule over the alaxa mosque. it added that the operation had targeted israeli military basis and all efforts were made to capture only israeli soldiers in order to free palestinian prisoners held by the regime. the group stress that not targeting civilians, especially women, children, and the elderly, is a religious and moral commitment for hamas fighters. the statement said that some israeli captives were killed by the attacks from the occupying regime itself. political

analyst khalid barakat believes the israel regime and his allies do not want to accept their defeat following the operation alaxa flood and that's why they are committing a genocide in gaza. let's take a listen. we need to remember that one of the main reasons why the zionist regime is continuing their genocide and war crimes against people in gazza. is because they don't want to face the reality of october 7th and what really happened and they don't want to investigate whether as an israeli commission or an independent you know commission to investigate what happened in october 7th let's just remember that the zionist regime have always been fabricating lies for the past you know 75 years and the israeli economy is in crisis, the palestinian

resistance have actually um depleted the israeli army and it showed that this army is reckless army and this myth about the army that will never be defeated is actually defeated in ghazza. the past 107 days, over 1100 israeli tanks were destroyed at the hands of the palestinian brave resistance, and at the same time the resistance strength is still, you know, strong, the commander control, the communication between various different groups, the unity of the palestinian resistance is still strong and intact. at least one member of lebanese resistance movement hezballah has been killed in an israeli drone attack in southern lebanese village of kafra. a high-ranking hisbollah official has survived this strike. our correspondent mariam soleh has the details. definitely there was a marker uh for

hazbollah in that vehicle. also sources have told us that a high ranking commander seems. arrived in attempt assassination attempt since this is one of the cars that is used by his security and as a result of this jone attack there was another civilian car uh that was hit and we have of course at least seven people uh have the who are wonded one of them is a woman a civilian woman who was wounded severely but we do have a murder and the martter is said to be one of the members of hazballah and this is at least the third drone attack that we have where a high-ranking hazballah commander was actually the aim of the israelis in and in the targeting and hazbullah seems to have been able to save off of course the this this

attempt by the israelies. the israelis have since the assassination of sheikh saluri begun with what seems to be new policy and that is a policy of assassinations and specific drone attack since the attack also took place in the area of kathra and here we're talking a place which is relatively far away from the border, it is in south lebanon but it is further off from the border, but this also comes as hazbullah has made it very clear that they will also target soldiers in all the israeli post. the us has confirmed that base hosting his forces in western. iraq was targeted by ballistic missiles. it says it's taken the attack by iraqi resistance forces extremely seriously. the white house says, using the capability of ballistic missiles posed in its words a genuine threat. at least two us service personnel were injured in the attack on ainal assad air base

on saturday. the pentagon says american forces have come under over 140 attacks in iraq and syria since israel began its onslot on gaza on october the 7th. according to the pentagon, nearly 70 us personnel have been injured in the operations, some of them seriously. the islamic resistance in irak has claimed most of the attacks, saying the us is to blame for the israely genocide in gaza. a plot, hatched by zinus, to occupy, to disintegrate. and to plunder palestine. this documentary tells in five parts how the israeli regime kickstarted its sinister project in palestinian lands through the

gradual strategy of settling the so-called jewish colonies. welcome back early today we spoke to firaza najim, manager of canadian defenders for human rights from toronto. he told us that the attacks on us bases in iraq are a clear message that if washington wants to continue his support for the ongoing genocide in gaza, his assets and soldiers will not remain safe in the region. i mean this is very... special development now in this recent battle where many other resistance groups are getting involved to help the people of gaza um and and be able to slap this regime from different corners obviously the the us is the one that's uh behind fueling and supporting this genocide

um we seen that with the the vetos inside the united nations and by supplying the weapons and you know media backing and so on so um i think that this this is gonna put some pressure, i don't know how much pressure, but it's it is putting lot of pressure, and the us is feeling it because they they're losing soldiers, their soldiers are being wounded, their bases are being shaken. uh by the resistance the hashd in iraq, america is not is not allowed to have and host bases inside of iraq, and we seen that also with elected members inside the parliament of iraq after they killed qasim sulaymani and the great general abu mahdi muhendis, the two two main generals that destroyed isis, they were the majority voted for the us troops to leave iraq, they're illegitimate, they're not supposed to be... and they're forcing themselves on the iraki soil, and obviously it's not for the interest of iraq, it's for

the interest of israel, it's for the interest the puppet regimes that have been installed in west asia and the middle east, people in the syrian capital, damascus have held a funeral for the iranian military advisors who were martied an israeli terror strike, our correspondent ibrahim wahdi has this report. solem funeral procession has been held at the sayidah shrine in the heart of the syrian capital, damascus. the procession was held for the five iranian military advisors who are martered in an israeli attack on the residential neighborhood of mazze. many people attended the funeral, including religious figures and pilgrims from various countries who affirmed that martterdam baves the way to victory over the enemies. the path of martur them will culminate in victory despite the enemy's will. we will emerge trium.

building housing iranian advisors in damascus. today, as we participate in the funeral ceremonies of these great marters, we affirm to the zionist entity that this crime will not go unpunished, as the islamic republic of iran has reiterated, we will not forget our marters, and the zionist entity will face retaliation from the axis of resistance. these are sacrifices made by the heroes of the popular. mobilization forces in iraq, as well as the resistance in syria and iran. these are marters who give their lives for the resistance front. this is the path of our martters and iman hussein. peace be upon him. this aggression exposes the enemy's setbacks in syria and in gaza, which has driven them to commit these crimes. the mooners carried the coffens of the marters with mix of sadness and anger, chanting slogans demanding revenge and punishment. they affirmed their williness to go all the way on the path of liberating al-quds and all occupied territories, no matter how great the

sacrifices may be, they expressed confidence in the capabilities of the excess of resistance and the wisdom of its leadership. once again, syrian and iranian blood mixed to water the land of damascus as a result of an israeli criminal attack, and once again we see syrians and iranians united more than ever and determined to defeat the zionist regime. ibrahim, tv, damascus: global outbrage against israel's genocidal war on gaza shows shows no sign of abating. will be free, palestine will be free, palestine will be free. palestine will be free from the river to the sea. palestine will be free, stop genocide, stop stop genocide! thousands of demonstrators hit the streets of brussels to call for immediate cease fire in gaza. the

demonstrators called on their government to impose economic and diplomatic sanctions against the israeli regy. also in barcelona, thousands of protesters attended rally organized by a palestinian solidarity network. similar rallies were held in nearly 100 other spanish cities. the protest has ageged an end to the israeli, us-israely genocide in gaza. they also blasted the eu stance on the ression saying the block is complicit in israel's killing of palestinian children. now earlier in our explainer program elaborated on iran's recent missile strikes a mosad spying center in the iraqi kirdistan region and terrorist bases in syria. iran's islamic revolution, guard's core irgc targeting terrorists in syria and an israeli spying base in iraqi kurdistan was precise, but looking closer at the strikes at

the spying base in iraqi kurdistan, it becomes clear the building was used to carry out masad operations, particularly. against iran, first the irgc strikes, it launched a barrage of missiles at an spionage center of the israeli spy agency known as musad in iraqi kurdistan. the musad spy center overall function was to develop spy operations and commit acts of terrorism in general, but its focus, its main focus was the islamic republic of iran. now this uh base also had an intelligence name to it as well. so uh it was known as the israeli 8200 intelligence core unit task with conducting surveillance and information gathering and generally was a place where many terrorists and sabotage attacks were planned against iran, but the characters who were who were killed is our main focus, so we have this man uh majid aga

dezay, he was one of the main players dez headed the falcon group conglomerates covering things like security, oil, gas and construction, interestingly, it provided security services to international oil companies as well, further proof of his deep links to iraq kurdistan security and intelligence apparatus. another fact was his close proximity with kurdistan's ruling barzani family, when all of it is put together, his relation to israeli mussad spy agency becomes pretty apparent. so far, we have established desires prominence. he was the main man for musad in air bill who coordinated operations for the spying agency and helped. recruiting agents as well, now his associate, this man, ilan nassim, he was the notorious team leader of tasa elite, massad affiliated spying firm responsible for training terrorist groups and recruiting agents in the west asian region, including the iraqi kurdistan uh for musad, and finally this man uh who we're going to see uh over there, his name is hussein yazdan panah, the

secretary general of the kurdistan freedom party, a terror group based in northern iraq, he was one of the key mercenaries for musad in the iraqi kurdistan region whose activities include guiding intelligence and operational team to act against iran. now we have an interesting photo here that shows all three of them in action during an operation of some sorts and uh perhaps more interestingly we have ilan nasim a photo of ilan nassim who is carrying a an israeli tour 21 multi-use weapon showing his affiliation with the spy agency. now when it comes to the number of masad agents killed, it's a bit confusing in uh how it was reported, one reports indicated three were killed uh in iraqi kurdistan's airb. another indicated elan was killed along with four other musad agents, the names that you see here, both due to irgc strikes, all in the same location, that makes it seven the number of mussad

agents that were killed, and that's all we have uh for uh this explainer and uh for this issue. so i'm going to hand it back uh to the anchor for the rest of the world news. the recent report reveals a dramatic 43% decline in kuwait's petrol exports to europe, primarily attributed to the ongoing situation in the red sea, which has recently been a scene of clashes between american and yemeni forces. our kuwait correspondent has this report. kuwait, key player in the global oil market has recently experienced. a significant setback in its petrol exports to europe with a staggering 43% decline, according to a recent s&p report. this decrease is mainly caused by escalating pressure on ship owners to steer clear of the red sea, which has seen an exchange of fire between american and yemani forces in recent days. the situation escalated after the us-uk

alliance air strikes on yemen earlier this month. the two countries claim they acted to protect international shipping from many attacks, this is while attacks by yemenis are only aimed at israeli vessels, or vessels moving toward the israeli occupied territories. they say this is a targeted effort to apply pressure on israel to move towards an urgency's fire in gaza. the attack of yemani fighters on israeli ships is natural reaction to pressure countries that support israel to stop their support, while also demanding sease fire. gaza: if the attack on yemen continues, the resistance will continue to respond, and this could get bigger. this situation has especially hurt europe significantly, impacting its imports of refined petroleum products in the first half of january. european supply chains are already strained, experiencing delays increased shipping costs and potential financial losses for businesses, dependent on

the red sea route. it appears that europe's steadfast support for israel has had severe repercussions for the continent itself. the yemeny fighters target only israeli vessels and those which are going to israel. the alternative is taking another route from race. this transfer takes 15 days or more with higher costs. these factors in the short run will cause inflation. economist swon of domino effect that could eventually hit european consumers harder than the inflation of 2022 during the russia-ukraine conflict. they won europe may face higher energy costs and delayed shipments leading to economic crisis. europe finds itself in a precarious position as it appears to be. embarking a military involvement in the situation in the region, risking its vested interests in the persian gulf region and its trade connections. in the meantime, the yemani resistance fighters are being wildly hailed

across muslim countries for adopting effective strategies to pressure israel to agree to a cease fire in gaza. as the world continues to monitor these developments in the red sea, the yemen resistance fighters continue to fight to pressure israel for immediate cease fire in gaza. this is farah al-hashim reporting for press tv. kuwait city and with that we come to the end of this bulletin, thank you for being with us, take care and bye-bye.

the israeli occupation demonstrates its hatridge on houses of the lord. this mask was reduced to rubble by f16 morjet. their way led to the destruction of the houses around the mask causing. full of martters and injuries amongst neighbors of the mosk. the palestinians did not stand on the ruins of the most idly, but they created temporary masks that don't protect them from neither the cold of winter, nor the heat of the summer.

israel's genocide on the people of palestine in gaza and the occupied west bank has cost thousands of lives. it has also caused a massive labor shortage. we're talking about, i think here. primarily about cross-border workers, that is to say, workers who live in um the west bank and commute to work in israel. that's that's quite a large economic

volume, particularly locally, around five and a half billion usd per year. these are some the factors plaging the occupied west bank. so israel sees these uh this shortage of workers uh that they've created, shortage of palestinian workers, is only a temporary measure.

we must not become part of south africa's problem, we must remain part of their solution. we must not aim to impose ourselves

our solutions, our favorite. in south africa, damn it, we have favorites in south africa, the favorites in south africa are the people who are being repressed by that ugly white regime, we have favorites. i also want to say a word about the situation in israel, the more we learned about the attack, the more horrifying it becomes. more than one thous, one innocent lives lost, including at least 27 americans, these guys make, they make al-qaeda look pure. they're pure, they're pure evil, i said from the beginning, the united states, make no mistake about it, stands with israel, united states stands of israel.
