hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in tehan. thank you for joining us. today's top story, the death told from israel's onslaught on the gaza strip has surpassed 25,000 as the regime continues its deadly strikes on the beseged 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 still under the rubble, some two-thirds of those killed in gaza of 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 a

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 1,000 illness cases every day. in case the child comes to the hospital, they came under the circumstances of heavy illness. parents. 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, achomol syrup is the simplest children's treatment that is available in hospitals. of hardest thing is when children. come to the

hospital without the company of mother or father, an orphan, and we do not find a treatment for them, and unfortunately we lost a lot of children due to medicine shortages in the hospital. the military wing of the palestinian resistance movement hamas has released a video showing the latest losses his fighters have inflicted on israeli forces of in gaza. fighters of the al-qassambra gates targeted invading israeli forces who had gathered inside the building, they also hit an armored vehicle parked outside. the video also shows a military bulldozer belonging to the regime's troops being struck with an rpg shell. palestinian fighters have been putting stiff resistance to invading troops and carrying out retaliatory attacks on the ground in gaza. scores of israeli troops have been killed since the regime launched its ground invasion of gaza in november. the resistance groups believe that the israeli military is hiding the real number of

vitalities amongst his forces. the palestinian resistance movement hamas says the alaksa 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 to rule over the alaxa mosk. 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 stressed 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 israeli regime and his allies don't want to accept

the defeat following operation and that's why of 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 ghazza 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 commission to investigate what happened in october 7th let's just remember that the designist 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 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 ghazah the past 107 days over 1100 is 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 command and 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 israelity. attack in southern lebanese village of kafra, a high ranking hezbollah official has survived the strike. our correspondent mariam sal has the details. definitely there was a marker uh for hazbollah in that vehicle uh also sources have told us that a high ranking commander

seems to have survived in attempt assassination attempt since this is one of the cars that is used by his security. and as result of this jone attack there was another. civilian car uh that was hit and we have a of course at least seven people uh who have the who are wounded one of them uh is a woman a civilian woman who was wounded uh severely uh but we do have a murder and the murder is said to be one of the members of hazbullah and this is at least the third drone attack that we have where a high-ranking hezballah commander was actually the aim of the israelis in and in the targeting and hazballah seems to have been able to um save off of course the this this attempt by the israelies. the israelis have since the assassination ofuri uh begun with what seems to be new policy and that is a policy of

assassinations, 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. when palestinian journalist shirin abule was killed by an israeli sniper on may 11, 2022, the israel is meant to get a press a clear message that they don't want any narrative other than their own and the decades all occupation of palestinian lands and their aggression. it wasn't the first time israely sought to put gag on the

alternative narrative, and every time it has failed. watch the history of the israeli measures and palestinian counter measures. in this documentary. welcome back. political experts are increasingly questioning the united states qualification as mediator in the ongoing war between palestinian resistance groups and the israeli raci. this after the un national security council spokesperson reiterated opposition to any cease fire in israel's ongoing. onslaught against the coastal territory. during his latest pressure, john kirby rejected any prospects of an end to the israel's brutal aggression on gaza, claiming sease fire will benefit no one but the hamas resistance group. his remarks came amit growing international call for the gaza cease fire

and an outcry over israel's unprecedented crimes. meanwhile, the united states has been trying to promote the idea of two-state solution to deal with the crisis posing itself. as mediator. washington's rejection the prospects of a ceasefire is, in addition to its veto of several un resolutions on ending the war. political experts as well as millions of people around the world. believe that the us has no respect for the lives of more than 2 million palestinians including over 1 million kids living in gaza. now the us has confirmed that base hosting his forces in western iraq was targeted by ballistic missiles. it says it's taking the attack by iraqi resistance forces extremely seriously. the white house says using a capability of ballistic missiles in his words a genuine threat, at least two us service personnel were injured in the attack assad base on

saturday. the pentagon says american forces have come under over 140 attacks in iraq and syria since israel began its onslaught 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 iraq has claimed most of the attacks saying. the us is to blame for the israeli genocide in gaza. earlier 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 continuous support for the ongoing genocide in gaza, his assets and soldiers will not remain safe in the region. let's take a listen. "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 behind fueling and supporting this genocide, um, we seen that with the the vedos inside the united nations, and by supplying the weapons and uh..." you know media backing and so on, so 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 the they're losing soldiers, their soldiers are being wounded, their bases are being shaken uh by the resistance, the hashd shabi in iraq, america is not is not allowed to have and host bases inside of iraq, and we seen that also you know with. members inside the parliament of iraq after they killed qasim sulaymani and the great general abu

mahdi al mohendis, the two two main generals that destroyed isis, you know they were the majority voted for the us troops to leave iraq, they're illegitimate, they're not supposed to be there and they're forcing themselves on the iraqi soil, and obviously it's not for the interest of iraq, it's for the interest of israel, it's for the interest the puffet 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 martered in an israeli terror strike. our correspondent ibrahim wahti has the details: solem funeral procession has been held at the sayida ruqay shrine in the heart the syrian capital, damascus. the procession was held for the five iranian military advisors who were martered in an israeli attack on the residential neighborhood of mazze. many people attended the funeral, including religious figures and pilgrims from

kirdistan region and terrorist bases in syria. let's take a look. uh... islamic revolution, guard's core irgc targeting terrorists in syria and an israeli spying base in iraqi kurdistan was precise uh, 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 espinage 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 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. many terrorists and sabotage attacks were planned against iran, but the characters were killed is our main focus, so we have this man uh peshua majid aga dezay, he was one of the main players dezai 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 musad 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 in recruiting agents as well. now, his associate, this man, elan 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 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 sort uh 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 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. last one least, a 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 yemani 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. says: 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 yemani 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 in 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 delay. 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 yemen fighters target only israeli vessels and those which are going to israel. the alternative is taking another route from ras raja saleh. 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 yemeny resistance fighters continue to fight to pressure israel for immediate cease fire in gaza. this is farah alhashim reporting for press tv, kuwait city. um with. come to the end of this bulletin, thank you for being with us, i'll be back with a recap of the news in around 5ive minutes time, take care for now.
