7:02 am
keeping you up to date with world news every half hour on press tv. of as every week we're going to show you things that happened since you last saw me, all these videos took place in the last week, we look at this map here of gaza and we've talked about many of these areas on the show already today, nora talked about them in her newscast, um we're going to focus at first of we're going to go from the south as usual, we're going to start in rafa, this zoom in here, we can see the philadelphia corridor which is still at the heart of the situation right now, the israelis are trying to remain
7:03 am
in the corridor, galant, the defense minister visited the philadelphia corridor this week and said that to the troops that they were keeping the corridor, and the fighting this week as pretty much for the last month has been focused on telesultan there in the west of rafa, and pretty much that is the focus of the fighting in rafa, the invasion is 115 days old in which of course the americans said was a red line, was buldosed by the israelis, but that operation has been now focused pretty much primarily on the philadelphia corridor as israel attempts to hold the strategic corridor in negotiations for a prisoner exchange. um, just to note, this is today is the 300th day of the ground war since the israeli military invaded the gaza strip. on the 27th of october, so 300
7:04 am
days of ground war, and on tuesday the 500th heavy airlift, the israeli ministry of defense acknowledged the 500th heavy airlift by the united states of weapons and material of to the israelis to carry out this genocide, the ministry of defense boasted about that, and it's 500 heavy airlift airplanes, but there's also 107 ships which are cons larger than the airlifts, although the c-17s that fly the airlifts are massive planes, there are almost hard to believe the size of them, and it's been 50,00 tons of weapons delivered from the americans to the israelis, which are then turned around and dropped on the gaza strip, the tiny area that nora described in her excellent newscast at the beginning, more than 55,00 airs in this tiny territory that
7:05 am
now palestinians are pushed into 10% of, and that 10% is under threat by israel evacuation orders this week, as we saw the united nations. stopped their operations the other day, so uh, another week, let's uh, let's get started though on the resistance, because the resistance is steady, there is no indication of any decline in the resistance at all, despite what the israeli say, this is namer troop carrier that's going to get an elevated yasin strike, they still are firing these weapons consistently, there was more than dozen operations by kamsam and... coulds alone raffa this past week, you can see that that strike is an elevated strike down on the roof of the namer and from too close for the act of protection system to engage and through too much and you can see again videographers, the spotter he in the audio of
7:06 am
this you can hear the spotter saying fire, they're part of team that carries out these operations, so that is in. there was a couple these strikes in telesultan, we can go to number two after this one here tomorrow, this is the second one, again fighters down on the ground moving through the streets still, you can see the just the unbelievable destruction everywhere, kham gives us a little bit of a longer feed here of the exit of this fighter, and again you can see no active protection system detonating in time for that round also in telesultan and these are still as ever uh casan built yasine 105 rpgs being used - no indication of any lack of these weapons, no indications of using other weapons, they're still using appropriate weapons in all of
7:07 am
these instances, and this battle scene is from this week in telesultan, and again telesultan is right on the edge of the philadelphia corridor, so the israelis are expanding this corridor, um if look at number three here um we've got a anti-personnel yacines being used here you can see the soldiers in a window again still 300 days on um you can see them coming out just have smoke a dart here on the deck just like they're not in an active war zone and these guys are going to pay the price for this behavior as ever and this week the israelis claimed uh the most killed in action that they have in. several months this week and you can see this is a combination, this is a thermober warhead, an iranian single charge 105 mm warhead that's being used here and also an f7 fragmentation warhead and they're using these in combination, we've been seeing
7:08 am
this for few weeks, maybe months now using this as a standoff anti-personnel weapon which is what they're designed for being used properly, but the combat nation of the thermabarac, which is a fuel air explosion, the round has powder and a fuel that distributes throughout the space and it's ignited in a fire, and so the f7, the fragmentation warhead, which we'll see coming up an operation, you can see the fragmentation is devastating anti-personnel weapons, so they're using these from distance, and we've seen them use anti-personnel weapons of course packed as... bombs, improvised explosive devices, so this combo of the f7, which is a north korean fragmentation warrhead, you can tell those by the red stripe around them if you're looking at these videos and the single charged ther thermoberic warhead is the plump circle that
7:09 am
you see, so this operation again successful soldiers in a window still doing it, let's look at number four here. because this is a another operation, this is in telesultan, this is attack on the kamal adwan high school, which is the israelis are using as a base, and this uh khasam fighter in flack jacket here, he's pointing out that the tanks are right outside, he says, look at that soldier with his head popping out, and then they're going to track these seven triangles heading into the school using the school as base, of course, every accusation of the israelis is a projection of their own activities, they immediately to these schools as their bases and when they're not bombing the schools of palestinians in sheltering in these schools, they're using them as bases, you can see the round in this one, you can see the round coming from the upper right to the left, you can see the sustainer motor
7:10 am
kick in on the rocket propelled grenade that's hitting there, and this fighter he's saying uh when we go back around the fighter saying yeah the fighter's holding actually in his hand you can see he's holding a gorilla action device, um, this is a close quarters battle that we're seeing here, we took out the audio of this, still trying to uh dodge guidelines to keep these uh videos on, um, this is them firing uh on this after the operation firing, so the close quarters battle took place after, and when we loop back around here, i'll show you, you can see he's holding the gorilla action device there, that was what we saw them building uh in during the war, a couple months back, and he says, oh netanyahu, we will shake you to your core, we're not afraid of these tanks next to us, and that's what he's looking at there out the window, the spottered, the cameraman looks out the window and shows the tanks right outside, he says, they are right in, we are... in front of them and you're doing nothing, god willing will bring the hammer down on your head, which is the way that
7:11 am
they're approaching this operation, again seven triangles heading into this building and the tank crewman hanging outside of the tank there, and again you can notice the sustainer motor coming through the as this round comes through the screen there, it's kind of neat, you don't usually see that, guess perfect angle for that um and during this gun fight that's going to break out here um this close quarters battle that follows up this combination again this is the thermobarac this is kasam thermobarac and then um uh the f7 that's a combo they're using again and then during this shootout they say here we are here we are the telesultan battalion um with a little more energy than that but um obviously these fighters are consistently uh fighting with this certain joy to be defending their people, defending their territory, in face of
7:12 am
liquidation, the israelis keep saying there have been liquidated, and it's of course never the case, this is another example of it, and then so number five here is actually the second part of this operation, the first part was the attack on the school, and these are the armored vehicles that are protecting the school, this is a high school in telesultan and you can see an elevated yasin strike. there right into the turret gap, which is what they're aiming for. um, that that uh, aps, the active protection system that went off there, missed the round, it detonated after the round hit, you can see that on this too, when you don't see the massive flare of of flame, that's what you have a penetration, and that's what the goal the yesin uh, the tandem charge, the goal is to send um pierce, it's to pierce, it's you don't the tanks don't explode in the sense that sometimes you see in ukraine or in
7:13 am
russia, the goal is to to pierce the tank and send the hot steel inside the tank and then the tank ignites from the inside or it just bounces around in the steel bathtub where these soldiers are inside the tank, the tank is a crew of 10 and usually has infantry a bunch of infantry solders in there usually between four and six. in inside the tank, so it's close quarters and when those pieces co-flying around, the soldiers inside the tank die, and there was two killed in action by the israeli military this week that they admitted were from anti-tank fire, and that's from yesins, so people sometimes wonder why you don't see the spectacular destruction, although we have seen several spectacular destructions, they you can see in the casualty reports that the soldiers are being killed by anti-tank fire and we took out the audio in this part, but the guy at the end basically goes, oh shit, for hitting it uh
7:14 am
for his buddy hitting that round from the from a pretty good distance and from an elevated spot, so he was impressed with that shot. number six here, this is a an interesting operation, a complex ambush takes place, they're scouting this position that they khasam says has 23 uh soldiers plus a special forces unit, you can see this uh commander here uh marking the operation, they put the triangle on the stick man that he's drawing in the window, but he's drawing a floor plan and the floor plan is accurate, he's got the kitchen with the master bedroom beside it with an ensuite, he's got the staircase, the guest room, he draws the head the soldiers, and then this is the tunnel ambush, that's the second part of this operation, um, so he's marking where the soldiers were go, you can see there's the f7 with the red stripe on it, and these fighters going through the tunnel, still using their tunnels in telesultan an actually so... this is in conyunis um where conunis was six months of operation in conyunis to destroy
7:15 am
tunnels and you still the fighters are still using it here um so that's setting up the operation and this is the execution of the operation the soldier in a window you're going to see the the casan built thermoberric warhead hit here and half the overpressure blows the curtains right out of the building um so you have infantry force in that building and then you can see there that's the f7 you can see the fragmentation element of that in that strike and then they have multiple camera angles on this operation because they've been casing this building for multiple days as they point out in this video. um and that's you can see the inside the room there how the thermoberic warhead works and why it's such a devastating anti-personnel weapon you fire it into these israeli positions inside building um and it fills the entire floor with the explosion and these operations again there you can see the fragmentation element of the f7 each of those
7:16 am
are pieces of of hot steel flying around and so the combination of these two weapons is is a... practical thing that we didn't see earlier in the war uh, but we have seen for the last couple months being used very effectively. now these fighters are going to go underground here and link up this radia anti-personnel uh weapon. if you can get through the tunnels you do the anti-personnel weapon if you're standoff you fire the anti-personnel weapon with yesin. so here the're fighters uh detonating in a tunnel entrance in conjunis. this is an alkarara on the north is... to the north of connunis, the operations of the 98th division have been moving around again, look at here, he's got the entire floor plan of the building, and he's got it in three dimensions because they're going to fire from the side angle, so those windows on the side are key to uh the way this operation takes place, and so again you can see the triangles on his stick man, the boys have a sense of humor uh and a sense
7:17 am
of purpose both in their operations, which is something that we have seen. consistently and communicating with each other and it's a commander which is uh showing command and control. these operations are tunnel born operations. the israelis haven't even come close to dealing with the tunnels. there's still anyt you see israeli tunnel achievements. they're talking about achievements that are less than 10 meters deep, which is essentially basements. the tunnel apparatus especially in in in rafa in telesultan, these tunnels are 80 meters. deep so they're not even close to getting down to the layers that would would neutralize the tunnels and as israeli military people have said there's not enough tnt in gaza to destroy 500 miles of tunnels under gaza, they don't know how many miles of tunnels, but 500 is the number that that they've been using this war, yeah sinwar said 500 kilometers a
7:18 am
couple years ago so it's a believable number um and you can see the round uh blowing out the curtains that the israelis love to put on these otherwise empty buildings to indicate where they are, and these positions, the they feel safe in these, they clearly feel safe in these positions, and they are clearly not safe, there's fighters all around, we're watching here from three different camera angles, so you saw the people getting briefed um by the commander, you saw multiple fighters involved in the operation, you saw that the bomb... and detonator and then you're seeing three cameraman so they're all over this area casing intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance of israeli positions and because of the predictable the predictive nature of their intelligence they're predicting the route that the israelis will take to that tunnel entrance so really interesting operation there in conunis
7:19 am
after the conunist brigade was under attack for six straight months from december. until the um until the ramadan ambush when they got chased out and now they're carrying on in uh in conyunis with the 98th division and have met nothing but resistance 15 operations this week alone in connunis so um as you can see this guy doing his his sketch again okay let's go to number seven tomorrow because we have um rocket fire here um we have the - the the the m90 named after you can see the size of this rocket uh named after ibrahim makadma who was a senior khasam founder, founding fighter and thinker, and you can see this fighter says, the mission we are executing is on the occupied city of tel aviv, which will be under fire from the from the alcasam brigades, and the enemy will know, no matter how much they try, no matter how much they believe they've accomplished their goals,
7:20 am
here we are on the ground fighting, we will bomb them with rockets of this heavy caliber, this is our land and and knows who loves it and the enemy is a stranger to it, so we're seeing these m90 rockets, these were the um, the m, the smaller version of this, the m75, was the first rockets fired out of gaza to hit tel aviv, and that happened in the 2012 war, and you can see him here with his irron peacemaker, peace enforcer, rocket controller, which is a play on the iron dome, and you can see the rockets heading up and in the background of the... video you can hear a kid shout from one of the camps in the distance, there it goes, so you you often get in these rocket videos cheering from people inside gaza when they go... off that's actually been the case for decades uh when these go off and then you can see that was from a makeshift launcher to launch those heavier rockets on tel aviv and these are
7:21 am
shorter range rockets that are fired on israeli concentrations on the other side of the border of conunis so these rockets were fired from conunis right under the nose of the israelis while they're carrying out this operation and of course civilians have been pushed out um of conunist so there's no civilians these are not these are being fired right under the nose of the israelis and if we go back one more time quickly tomorrow the you can see when they're programming the rocket controller you can see they're setting the time and this is going to be something that's relevant for the hezballah operation too they the rocket controller sets the time the launch so they set up in the day um they set up beforehand they set the rocket up um and then they program the launch to be for after dark, usually they program them for 9 pm and that's part of the psychological operation is that they tell you that the rockets are coming uh at 9 pm and then uh and
7:22 am
then they do and the israelies are looking for where those rockets are launched the israelies look at this launcher here this makeshift launcher that they're using the israelis dug in the israelis bragged that they blew up this launcher uh this buried launcher so they're just scrambling for any kind of, you see there, he's setting the time there uh for the launch and he's setting the multiple launches and so the fighters are gone from this area when the rockets are fired and if there's counter fire, counter battery fire, um, the fighters are gone from that area at the time, and that's going to be something that we see in the hezbollah operation coming up too, um, and again, these are named the m90s after ibrahim macadma, and macadma was an important leader. of khasam, he wrote a book about the path of armed struggle, guide posts on the road to liberating palestine, 1994, that's an important book that's studied by the fighters
7:23 am
and read widely in gaza, talking about not repeating failed mistakes, how to build the culture of arm struggle, and lot of those things now 30 years on from that book being written, have really come to fruition, and that's one of the reasons why the casan brigades and hamas, more broadly are not able to be... defeated, they're not a group that you can defeat, these ideas are embedded in the population, and the spirit of resistance is is a critical part of their their popularity, it's all their popularity, and so the israelies have failed of course, in all their objectives against khasam and the will for generations to come because of this kind of in part because of these leaders that were assassinated, macadmos, assassinated in 2003, he was partly responsible for the plan to attack the settlements in the gaza strip in the ladder half of the second and tofada, he's credited with the operation that blew up
7:24 am
markava tanks on the outside of settlements, one particularly in bet lah, that the israeli said they were responding to when they assassinated him, and these operations were these tank destroying operations were part of the reason that the israelis left the gaza strip because these... operations were a qualitative increase in the nature of the operation than anything that they had experienced before in the 40 years of the settlement project, so again naming their weapons after very important people, and if you want to study the cassamb brigades, you can look through their weapons and look at who they're named after and do a little reading about who they are, and you can see why they name those weapons after them, so that is the south, conunis and rafa again, more than 30 operations combined in those two locations just in the last seven days, so no indication of any degrading, of course the
7:25 am
war is costly, the war is costly for palestinians, it's costly for the fighters, it's costly for the israelis, it's costly for israeli citizens as well, so we're not pretending that it's not costly, but in terms of destroying the military infrastructure of the group, we're not seeing any indications of that being true. in today's show, palestinely classified exposes how the zinist lobby uses british charities as device to funnel money. into israel, also of course there's the uk association for the well-being of israel soldiers, which we've covered in the show before, and they've also funded and supported that organization, which of course once we
7:26 am
reported on it, year, its website went down, it's social media w were removed and and it's being investigated by the charity commission, so it looks like once you start to report on these kinds of things, it becomes much more difficult, and less tenable for them to carry on with them, how could it be charitable to support a military abroad that commits genocide, and even before the genocide um, the support those charities like jnf give to uh stealing the land in palestine has started even before 1948. israel continues its genocidal war on the gaza strip for 333 days and the longest war
7:27 am
it has fought. against resistance fighters since the occupying regime was founded in 1948. the death doll of the israeli regime's genocidal war in gaza has already surpassed 40,000, more than 16,500 of them being children. the israeli military's deliberate targeting of civilians has been well documented throughout the war. for instance, back in january, israeli troops... fired more than 300 bullets at ambulance, killing hind rajab, a six-year-old palestinian girl and six of her family members. on august 13, muhammad abumsan, a palestinian father went out to obtain official birth certificates for his newborn twins, but lost his two children and his wife an israeli strike. furthermore,
7:28 am
the amount of destroy. in gaza is also enormous. according to who, by june, israel had targeted 464 healthcare facilities, killed 727 healthcare workers, injured 933 healthcare workers and damaged or destroyed 113 ambulances. according to the un, by late march, israel had attacked more than 200. schools in gaza with at least 53 schools totally destroyed. by july, all 19 gaza universities had suffered severe damage with 80% of university buildings destroyed and 103 academics killed. by march, more than 1,0 mosks had been destroyed as of august 18, israeli attacks destroyed or damaged more
7:29 am
than half of gaza's homes. and damaged 80% of commercial facilities, 85% of school buildings, 65% of road networks and 65% of crop land in the strip. now with 333 days of such devastating war, the world is beginning to realize that this is not just a war, but rather it's a systematic campaign of annihilation that will continue as long as... western powers support the occupying regime.
7:30 am
the headlines, israel's air strikes and artillery fire claim more civilian lives across the gaza strip with the genocidal war's death tool exceeding 4,800. hamas says us is a partner in israel's crimes in gaza and it's new ceasefire proposal seeks to give the regime time to commit more crimes, and also on our headlines, thousands of israeli protesters hold mass rallies across the occupied territories, demanding the resignation of the prime minister in his cabinet.
