11:02 am
here takes a different rules and takes different forms in the west b, it's not like gaza a total palestinian territory where you can besiege and where you can bomb and where you can not let humanitarian aid going into over here in the west bank we are talking about separated cities that has supplements in inside of them that has a streets that are special special for settlers and for the iof, we are talking about military bases for the iof, we are talking about a big industrial force over here for the israeli regime that is located a stolen palestinian lands over here in the west bank, so the confrontation over here takes many forms, it's not a only military confrontation and also not to forget that the main psychic if we can't "if we can of
11:03 am
describe them as as such, the main support of for the iof forces over here are the settlers, themselves, the settlers, sometimes they are performing on behalf of the iof, sometimes now, and this this moment as we speak, settlers have brought a buldozer and starting demolishing a palestinian house in almalih village in the in the northern valleys between between tubas and between. these actions actually have, we have always seen it performed by the iof or by the israeli government, but the settlers recently as they have increased the the the intensity and the the types of their attacks, they are acting on behalf of the of the iof, attacking people, killing palestinians, burning down homes opening, even opening their own streets, which is, which means of course...
11:04 am
which means a seasing land and expelling palestinians out of their lands and out of their homes, so we are talking about two major forces over here in the west band, not one major force which is the iof and the settlers, so the iof may be back down a little bit to with and withdraw, yes, your of your your note is actually correct, and as their analysis on their tongue, they have mentioned that the iof will be withdrawing a little bit from operations over here in the westland, but keeping a close eye on the as well call it hot spots over here, which is the cities that that the most the most lashes, the most resistance presence that situated in like uh jenem, nabls and tubas, they will be keeping a close eye on on these
11:05 am
cities, but in the to summarize all what all of all of this point is that the iof, yes, my may have withdraw a little bit and losen the grip a little bit, but they have another group working on behalf of them, which are the israeli settler. all right, thank you very much, that's correspondent from occupied brabala, thank you, naka, from armala, we go to the gaza strip therabala where of course. just to give us the latest in the gaza strip. what's your good morning, what do you have for us? just actually the israel incubation forces are still heading various parts of gas strip, those attacks are still maintained brutal and heavily against various parts of gaz. let me begin with khan city, whereas the israel incubation forces resumed uh their strikes against the isimbard of the city. at least three residential buildings were targeted and destroyed in the eastern part of the city at. these five palestina civilians
11:06 am
were left behind uh the attack dead as as you know uh particularly when it comes to alumur family uh their house was hit over their heads and they were killed inside the house meanwile the israeli artillery was maintained also against the same areas and when it comes to rafa city the israel incubation forces continue to blast more residential squares and buildings in the westen b of the city meanwhile the israeli artillery continued to shiel and target the eastern b of the same city those explosions actually actually we're loud enough to be headed from khanuni city and and parts of derilb city here and when it comes to the anu sarati fiji camp the israel equivion forces also intensified the attacks against various areas of the same refugee camp we are talking about another essential building that was targeted and destroyed by the israeli wall blanes in addition to that the israeli artillery continued to shield the nortan b of anosarati fuji camp and those areas witnessed witnessed heavy gunfire carried out by the israeli tanks mobilized in the northern part of anosarati fuji camp,
11:07 am
multiple palestinian casualties were left behind those successive and continuous air strikes and attacks against anosarati fuji camp, and when it comes to gaz city, the current situation is still catastrophic whereas there is... incubation forces continue to attack as the two neighborhood, the fresh attack took place there targeted a multiflow residential building there uh in a zeitoon neighborhood and we are talking about multiple palestinan casualties were left behind the attack in addition to that the israeli artillery continued to hit and shill uh the uh southern b of a zatur neighborhood addition to sabra neighborhood they were under heavy and chronic attacks by the israel shielling over the last night and even when it comes to uh as you know when it comes to as zarka area in the north part of the same city, the israel incubation forces carried out several air strikes against that area, targeting the residential buildings there leaving more palestinian casualties, including as you know yesterday the israel incubation forces targeted facility belonging to the gaz civil defense system, luckily the
11:08 am
missile didn't explode and according to the statement released by the gaz civil defense system that it would be massacre if that if that missile exploded in that area because "the facility was overcrowded with the crews the civil defense system there and this reveals clearly that the israel incubation forces are system systematically attacking those facilities and they are still attempting to crible the gaz civil defense system, knowing that this system is still grabbling with these aberable conditions as they are still suffering from the severe shortage of the basic tools and the needed equipment they need in order to do the job of discovering and extracting uh the dead bodies left behind the ongoing and the crawl" israel strikes and attacks and let me say that in the north part of gaz strip the israel incubation forces renew their attacks against shaima area which is located in bet lah city and more gun fire in addition to the artillery shielling uh they were completely as you maintained heavy against that part and
11:09 am
over the last night the israel incubation forces carried out a limited ground offensive against that area so we can see clearly that the israel licubation forces are still accelerating and intensifying the attacks against various parts and areas of gaza strip and uh unlike what many people think that having that situation escalated in the northern front of the occupied territories uh means that the israel incubation forces would deescalate their attacks against gaza slip. on contrary the israel incubation forces intensify their attacks simultaneously to the to the war that is being waged by the israel incubation forces against lebanon uh circulating now for number of days about about how the israeli regime wants to purge the northern part of the gaza strip uh and tell the residents there or the cousins that are there which number about 100 thous um and then they want to use this uh starving to death the remainder of any palestinians which
11:10 am
their aim is to uh focus and target the hamas fighters have you heard about this report uh do you hold it to be true in any? yes, undoubtedly since day one of this attack and this war against gaza, we are we have more reports unfolding a daily basis saying that the israel incubation forces are planning to evacuate the entire area of the northern part of cas from the palistinian residents claiming that they want to create a military buffer zone in the area to prevent the basistinan people from returning back to those areas and particularly when it comes to the palestinian resistance fighters. 'cuz you know that every palestina civilian moved from the northan part to the central area or the southern part of gaz strip at the very beginning of this war uh uh was checked by the israel incubation forces in the checkpoint at the check points that were initiated in the saran corridor so this means clearly that the palestinian resistance
11:11 am
fighters remained in the north b of gas fighting there and those palestinians who were evacuated to the northern to the southern part of gaz ship were completely and 100% civilians'. there are no fight, there are they they they were not fighters at all, so this is a flagrant and a platent lie promoted by the israel incubation forces and this reveals clearly that the main aim of this genocidal war is to change the status quo on the ground and to as you know to prevent the palestinian people from getting back and returning to their residential areas and this is peload according to multiple palestinians to occupyng gaza strip once again so this is the what the israel incubation force. are walking on on the ground here and it's not about as you the n part of gas they are talking about as you it's corridor here and in addition to philadelphia corridor in rafa the incubation forces are saying that they need to maintain their troops on the ground here for so long time and they are initiating more through
11:12 am
more more bolts more uh as you watch towers here so this reveals clearly that the main aim of this war against gaza is is not about the palestine resistance it's about as you occupy does strip once again and changing the... score on the ground here and all of this as you know comes against the back drop of uh uh of the israeli attitude towards gaza step is to uh practice more collective punishment against the parecinan people here but particularly when it comes to the north b, because they consider that the north b of gas is a stronghold for the palestinan resistance, this is why they need to as you to exert more pressure on the palestinian people, and this is why they are still using even the salvation and famin as another weapon of war against the palestinian people, it's not about the military pressure practice against the palestinian people, we are talking about seas another of israel strikes and attacks in addition to the repititive ground offensives get it out and as you against those areas, in addition to that the israeling was... maintained and has been maintained heavily till this moment we are talking about salvation that the israel
11:13 am
incubation forces are still preventing any entry of any significant amount of the food items and as you know the relief amounts of the people there and let me remind you that at least purey palestinan children have been analived of famine and salvation and that that famin and salvation is completely systematic and deliberate and it is completely planned and schemed by the israel incubation forces in order to about more pressure on the palestinian people, so yeah, every day we have more evidences that the israel incubation forces actually leave no stone and turn without putting more presure on the palestinian people using the continuous strikes and attacks and the salvation in addition to the displacements, as you know it has become a matter of fact that the israel incubation forces use this spacem orders and the evacuation orders for the palestinian people in order to exacipate the suffering of the palestinian people basically when it comes to those uh so to those acclaimed "as you safe zones uh, as as you know the people are still suffering in those areas and they are still being attacked
11:14 am
by the way by the israel incubation forces, so every tiny detail of the ongoing israeli measures taken against the palestinian people actually constitutes story of suffering for the palestinian people, and once again everything happening to the palestinian people here in gaza step by the israelition forces is 100% systematic and deliberate, i'm sure you know how this uh onslot by the israel regime forces." is uh happening on lebanon, are you seeing a decrease uh in what activity uh military activity by the regime forces on the gaza strip? um, which if there if that is the case, do you think it's because they have reduced any of the regime forces in order to go help out in the north the occupied palestine? on contrary, actually we have been witnessing more escalation of the... attacks against the palestinian people and i have mentioned for multiple times that unlike what many people think that the israel
11:15 am
incubation forces would escalate the attacks against gaz strip now they are attacking the palestinian people relentlessly we are witnessing more horrifying attacks carried out by the palestinian people in a daily basis we have more massacers being perpetrated against the palestinian people and everywhere in gaza step as you know uh two days ago the israel incubation forces killed at least 13 palestinan civilians in camp they were all women and children and over the last night as i have mentioned six palestinian civilians were killed in the eastern b of can city and the day before we have witnessed how the israeli kivision forces attacked attacked several schools taken shilta by the space palestinians in gaza city and in the north b of gaza strip jab refugee camp witness more attacks by the israeli forces needless to mention that the wide scale invasion is still underway and abeted against the palestinian people so conspicuously that the israel incubation forces are still attacking elsewhere in gaz strip and the main message the israel incubation forces wants to disseminate and deliver that uh the palestinian people should
11:16 am
never imagine for a for a while that the israel incubation forces would lift their hand uh as you know out of gaza strip they are still maintaining the attacks and this reveals clearly that the main aim of these attacks actually is as you know is uh to create more vingable attacks against gas strip and these attacks are still stemming from the racist and the vingeful mentality that the israelicusion forces has have. towards gaza step, this is on one hand, on the other hand, let's be clear that the israeli incubation forces having this for right government is still the israeli regime having this far right government is still pushing forward to have the to have a regional war and they are leaving no stone and turn without pushing the entire region to be in all out war as you know and this is actually what they are doing on the ground and even here according to the latest drivers from the israeli side and the israeli regime uh and this stated that and we have multipb saying that netanyahu is trying to have sease
11:17 am
fire agreement or a truce agreement, however it was reported also that smart shambier actually are still disagreeing with netanyahu and they are still preventing him from moving forward into having any kind of any cease fire or any truths ever either it was about lebanon or gaza step here so this reveals clearly that the main aim of this government is to uh to put the entire region on prank. of a regional war and because this is the only language they understand particularly when it comes to the peoples of the region including the palestinian people and the libanese people as you know uh so yeah this is the agonizing truth that we have here, in addition to that, if you ask me about how the israeli cubition forces would uh deal with gaz strip having more israeli troops mobilized in the northern front, let me say clearly that the israelicubation forces now are still relying completely on the air rates and attacks against the palestinian areas and as you know that every corner of gassip was
11:18 am
attacked and it was as you know subjected to wide scale ground offensives and the israel incubation force. invaded ells where in gaza strip and they have destroyed the vast majority of the areas of gaza strip, so there is no significant need for the israeli tanks to be mobilized in gaza strip and they are uh still relying on the air rates carried out by the israeli war planes and this is actually what we have been witnessing for the past couple of weeks, we are witnessing more cruel and vehements and attacks carried out against various parts of gaza strip uh climic moraliz the palestinian people, mean for the palestinian. people here in gassip, nothing would be changed because as you know, whether it was the israeli attacks carried out by the tanks or carried out by the israeli war plays, the palestinan people are still under these vehem attacks all along day and night, thank you for that, do stay with uswami is a podcast and journalist who joins us from st. petersburg, welcome, so a couple developments
11:19 am
here, regarding this 21 days fire proposal, i'd like to get your idea on that, it's been um something that has been worked out at the and number of countries are behind it, the us, australia, canada, european union as a whole, france, germany, italy, japan, saudi arabia, united arab emirates and qatar to name few, i need to make sure all those countries are mentioned here, and we have reports based on what we have gathered and received that israely media has reported that pm netanyahu is has ordered reduction of a scale of attacks in southern lebanon, i made the seasfire talks, this comes top of him to travel to new york, what do you make of it, do you think that we are looking a possibility? of seasfire at this point uh given the fact that you have all these countries involved and you're seeing the most recent being netanyahu's order to reduce the scale of attacks? um, i hope so. um, i think that the um prime minister netanyahu wants escalate this conflict in order to bring more parties into it, but it is very interesting
11:20 am
that the us, france, um, among other countries are behind this idea. of a 21 days fire, um, what is going to happen after the 21 day expires? um, and so it's so it's very interesting to see this, and um, i am wondering, and under what conditions are the hostilities going to resume if the seas fire is implemented, so i think those are the questions that need to be answered before we can see if this cease fire is something of serious proposal that can be taken serious. uh when you have the possibility of this and the fact that it's being discussed and obviously some effort being put into it, then you have this: israely finance minister rejecting lebanon seasfire, calls for crushing hezbollah. do you think these uh ministers like the the likes of smotric and ben gavier actually think through before they talk? um, it's hard to say, even if they
11:21 am
don't think through before they talk, their statements are indic. of a broader support within the higher level within israeli government for more belligerants, so so they may say that they want a questioning defeat, and i think that is the opinion of the majority who are occupying power within israel, and so unfortunately that makes any kind of negotiation very hard to take it face value because because you can't really trust, what israel has to say? well, uh, i'm taking a look at uh, for example, the uh, a way that you have certain uh missiles in possession of hisbollah and the capabilities of it, like the most recent um targeting of uh tel aviv with the qader one missile, and in terms of the range, and in terms of the warhead, and
11:22 am
in terms of the destruction that it can do, of which uh, i'm not a military expert, but i'm guessing that hasbullah. is using using measured responses uh to um make its point clear and to send message to the israeli regime, but do these um extreme ministers including the prime minister netanyahu and get get the message that has bella is sending to them, and this come comes of course top of the what 600 somemad that have been murdered by the israeli regime forces in lebanon? um, strategically, um, they strategically they understand hezballah's capability and how it is different, and in fact hezballah historic... has delivered israel a crushing blow to israel, for example in 2006 when israel was forced to withdraw from lebanon mostly due to hezball's actions and so it is different, it is a different kind of militia than they are used to with the palestinian resistance, but i think often the when they
11:23 am
look at this, they um, they interpreted as a need to increase their beligents as opposed to sitting down at the negotiating table to see how this conflict can be deescalated. it's interesting to see how there is push for the ceasefire for between. and lebanon uh, but and if it happens, my question to you is, then why isn't there one to have happened for gaza? i mean, some indicate that maybe this, if it were to happen, may lead to a cease fire in gaza, but if it does happen, why shouldn't there one be for gaza strip, and why wasn't there enough of an effort then uh to uh have one to have happened at this point for the gaza strip? i think it has to do with the differences in the military capability. of what hezbollah is capable of and what the palestinian resistance have to deal with, um, hezballah has been around for a while and they are a fully formed military, they have
11:24 am
full capability, they're able to fire missiles and so i think this creates a bigger worry within the broader uh west, especially patrons of the israeli state, mainly us, uk and france, so i think that causes um... them to want to cease fire with lebanon, and plus they know that if has if israel has to fight on two fronts, it is much harder for israel to accomplish any of their strategic aims, and top of that, it threatens israel's position within the world stage, and there is the states that use israel as a client state need israel as the a status quo to maintain their hegemmany within the middle east, so they're looking at it from that point of view. uh just uh a day ago the news surfaced if i'm correct and using that uh time frame a september 24th that would be yes two days ago
11:25 am
i'm sorry news that the bin administration is slow rolling asuh it was described in this particular headline israelly requests for more us munitions and one of the things that uh the us uh and it's interesting it says that theuh regime has enough bombs but not enough for the arrow interceptor system which is one the things that the us administration is slow rolling on, of course that's one of the three defense systems that israel has, so that's pretty major. if this news is valid, and by all means it seems to be, because it's been reported by number of outlists, what is that show from the us side? um, from the us side, it shows that the us is not capable of getting into a full full conflict on behalf of israel in the middle east, um, and it has been... also clear that the us military bases have been had to uh withdraw and consolidate themselves because they have been facing barrage of drone attacks from various
11:26 am
resistant forces, so the us capability is not the same, and it also shows that i guess the us is trying to contain netanyahu in some way, um, but that remains to be seen how much they're going to slow roll and what they're going to ask. in order to resume the full shipment of weapons. uh, the uh fact that you have uh this uh region engulfed in the belligent actions of the israeli regime um stems from what is happening in terms of the palestinian issue, because we can't forget how the pledge by the resistance groups including hisballah is that their offensives and their um attacks are because of the israeli regime uh conducting this genocidal war against palestinians in the gaza strip, do you think that we are at the cusp of perhaps having this issue resolved, or we looking at just bandaid if there were to be
11:27 am
uh any kind of uh, if if if the violence was to subside and for there to be some kind of agreement, but an overall agreement where the region can then take a breather, i mean what do you think are we are we looking at that at that aspect of it maybe to happen here? it's hard for me to think that we're going to be looking at an overall... com this seems more like bandid um, i think that if israel is not targeting its cities in lebanon, they will resume their full attack against gaza, and recently i just read an article in guardian where netanyahu calls for parts of gaza to be completely um ethnically cleansed of palestinians, so um, it seems like i don't see israel agreeing ending that, so i think that is the main issue that will continue, and if there's any other cease fires on their attack against lebanon, i think... that it
11:28 am
still would not end the situation for palestinians in gaza. all right, thank you very much for that. that's asha krishna swami, broadcaster and journalist from st. petersburg, we're going to go back to the gaza strip from dar abala, we have a correspondent musaba joined us. we have just spoken to an analyst talking about this purge, if you want to call it that, i'm not too sure what word to use, force displacement itself is a war crime, but that has happened so many. occasions, not only in terms of force displacement, but other war crimes that the israel regime has committed. we i did ask you about this northern palestine and the clearance that the israel regime wants to do. are we looking any signs of that happening at this point? and are we looking at the hamas fighters uh in terms of the numbers if you can tell us being presence there in the northern part? why is it the northern part the focus of this regime wanting to do this if they are going to do it in fact? yes, let
11:29 am
me begin with the last part of your question, why is it about the northern part of kas strip? as you know, the northern part of kas strip is considered as one of the most strongholds for the palestinian resistance there uh simply because the palestinian people are completely impressing the choice of resistance, this is why the israel incubation forces are dealing uh with the northern part of gaz strip this way. "these attacks against the northern part of caustrip are 100% vengeivable attacks and they are stemming from as you know uh the offensive attitude the israelicubition forces have against the northern b of gaza strip and for so long time the northern b of gaza strip was as you know uh was considered like a stronghold and foot hold for the palestinian resistance there and we have lot of the palestinian leaders a lot of the prominent leaders were from the northan b of gazsip and
11:30 am
even when it comes to what happened on" the seventh attack we have lot of the palestinian resistance fighters where from the north part of gas, this is why the israelion forces are still attacking the north b of gaza strip heavy and they are still planning to evacuate and declare the northern b of gaza strip from the palestinian people there, if you ask me about how the palestinian people are treating with these attitudes of the israel incubation forces and these reports saying that the israelies are gna clear and evacuate the about strip fortnian. they are refusing any kind of any evacuation or any kind of any displacement from their residential as simply because they are witnessing how the palestinan people who have been forced to uh be displaced and to evacuate those areas in the central area of gaz strip or to the southern part of gaz strip those people are still suffering the suffering is still the same and even those people are still attacked by the israelion forces the israeli
