"if you're killed by a us drone, you must be a terrorist because you were in the proximity of other people who we think we're terrorists. b's approaches, well, if you're of not with us, then you're with them, and if of you're with them, then you're with hamas and of hezballan, then you're terrorist, and you deserve to die, even if you're only 18 months old. all right, barry, it's all pleasure you, you've been with us going on an hour, and i want to thank you for your comprehensive contribution there to our rolling." here on press tv, stay safe, always a pleasure to have you on uh, mr. barry gross from their international lawyer joining us out of bally, indonesia uh we are now up on the one-year mark of uh the one-year anniversary of operation alexa flood by palestine resistance breaching uh israely occupied uh southern of territories of uh palestine culminating in over 1200 dead and 250 taken uh captive back to gaza and then we saw the onslot. by the

regime over the last 365 days against the people of gaza and in the last two weeks plus on the people of lebonon in gaza alone we're over 42,00 confirmed according to our uh colleague mariam az just mentioned these are 42,00 confirmed deaths, we know there are thousands of palestinians that are still missing and are not part of that death tool presume buried under rubble, but because the three quarters of gaza is now nothing but rubble. "it may take some time to get accurate deathtul out of the besieg territory, but we know over 100 thousand are also been confirmed uh injured in the last year in gaza and many of them permanently made and many of them of those permanent disabilities could have been prevented had there been enough hospitals still running, enough medical supply still getting in the hands of medical professionals, if medical professionals were not targeted, we have of hundreds of doctors and nurses and paramed."

that have been killed by the occupying regime in its onslot on gaza and onsot that it's now taking onto the uh lebanese people and the lebanese health minister just four days ago said the same thing that we've had over 120 medical vehicles already targeted by the zinus entity in lebanon we've had hospitals hit we've had healthcare workers dozens already killed in in just over a thousand plus um death tool in in lebanon in short short span of time. miriam, i'm going to come back to you. uh, we already said goodbye to mr. barry grossman out of balle, but he did mention uh un reform, how bad the un needs a reform, the hypocrisy when it comes to enforcement uh in uh the take on the uh western politicians, also hypocrisy and corporate media coverage when it comes to the gaza genocide when it comes to depicting what operation alaxa flood was and what it stood for. um and really quick before you you get

started, i want to just when it comes to hypocrisy, i want to mention one thing, if you remember back in february of 2022, the the ukraine conflict began, miriam, uh, in of march, less than a month later, there was a suppose that the russians also denied, a supposed attack, they called it the busha massacre where in busha ukraine over 490, i believe nearly 500 people were uh uh residents of of a town called busha were killed among them nine children because because of the 500 people that were killed a supposed residence that town, because of the nine children, miriam, they're talking about taking reforming the un security council, the other permanent members that that have veto power, um, not all of them, just basically the us and the uk and france were saying this, but not china, and obviously not russia, but wanted to see reform of the security council to take away russia's veto power over nine children, you have 16,00 kids dead plus uh in gaza. and as desperate as

reform is needed right now to address genocide, that is not taking place, but they're talking about it over nine ukrainian in children. uh, your thoughts on that hypocrisy, miriam? well, i think, i mean, you mentioned reform, but what it it actually is, the un needs to be replaced, because it has clearly, i mean, what we have seen in the last year, we have only seen how the un has facilitated in lot of ways, the massacre of the palestinians and the genocide in going on in on everything, but what we had before the un, we had league of nations, right, but that was replaced by the un because it was in effective, um, also potentially meant to be ineffective. the point of it is that generally when a bunch of different powers get together to make an international organization, what it does in effect is policing other nations, that was the goal of the un to begin with, you know, there are various conferences like the tehran conference where major world powers... the

time got together, decide to make the system where they would have the veto power, where they would make the ultimate final decision, and everybody else would have to abide, basically it was created to police. nations that did not already have a strong power to to defend themselves, that was the whole intention of the un, that was the whole goal the un, it was never to uphold human rights, that was not even, i mean that's that's the way that the un was sold to the audiences across the world, but what we actually know is that it was not the intention of international organizations to actually uphold human rights. what we saw just recently was that the un headquarters were used as an really military base, meaning what? meaning netanyahu made call from the un headquarters to bomb and wipe out an entire neighborhood in lebanon's beirot. the un was used as a base, so i mean this is, and this is generally what we don't see, because we see that of course the different officials in

the un expressing concern, they're saying and and you saw how they were talking in the beginning, they kept saying both sides, as if there are two sides to the to genis. there is, i mean, as you said, there's an occupation, and then there's the occupying, as my colleague said, the occupied have the right to armed resistance, so there are no two sides that, oh, two sides should practice self-restraint, on one side, you have women and children dying, and you have people take having their homes taken away, and the way they do it, i mean it's uh, as you said, they buldouse homes and everything they do, but lot of times they force palestinians to buldouse their own homes. for settlements to be built, and if they refuse to do so, they have to pay fine. i mean, this is as inhumane as you could possibly take someone's lands away from them, and you know, i mean, we have seen footage of settlers mocking them like going to their house and maybe giving giving a small item from their own, from the

palestinian home to palestinians be like, oh, here's your, here's your yogurt that you left, you know, so this is what's been going on for over 70 years with the com. complete uh recognition, with the complete uh awareness of the un, and the un not only doing something, i mean every once in a while they would express concern or they would write, they wouldn't have a resolution against the zinanis regime, which the us would veto, so as long as you have these veto powers, the whole and and as long as the whole system is based on policing other nations, the un cannot be reformed, it has to be dismantled, it has to be replaced. now are there other rules that can replace the un, are there other ideologies that can replace the un? what we saw, for instance in iran, now iran is a country that is and the iranian nation has been under the heaviest sanctions on all fronts by the us, by us allies and basically you know the us not not even

allowing lot of different other countries in whose interest it is to have business with iran, basically it's preventing them from having business, and iranians have suffered lot as a result of these sanctions, they have been some of the biggest..." victims of terrorism, iran's eb patients did not have until iran actually uh made the uh wound dressing itself, they did not have access to wound dressing, they were dying really painful deaths as a results of these sanctions, but look at what iran did, i mean without actually having to abide by international laws, because even though iran is member of the un, iran also has the power to protect itself, iran also has the military to protect itself. from the uh western hijamonic front weapons and from their military and it can cause you know harm, it can cause painful harm to these powers, so basically it doesn't iran doesn't fear you know um these uh basically the the enforcement of laws, but at the same time

what did iran do? i mean, iran retaliated against the zinist regimes hitting of its consulate and killing of its guest inside iranian soil, but when iran retaliates... iran did not hit schools and hospitals, even though after one whole year of genocide in front of everybody's eyes, you know the public opinion and the world would not have really turned against iran for basically um even targeting what what they call civilians and what we know who we know are actually settlers, so this is what iran did, iran had military bases, iran had musad headquarters and iran warned, and so there are actually... "there are nations, there is the resistance front that has this ideology that even without you know the the un charter of human rights, iran has up upheld the charter of human rights far more than the un than any other un members and you see the entire

resistance fronts, i mean we had this, these hamas fighters they have, they were raised under the occupation, they were raised under blockade, they were raised under the most extreme forms of humil'. ation and rape and murder and the imprisonment of palestinian children, but what did they do when they took israel's captive? what turned out to be was that actually? the the number of the cap, the majority of the captives that were actually killed were killed by the bombings of the israeli regimes regime, and the and the uh the captains who were actually released by hamas, it was amazing how they were talking about the treatment, how how hamas fighters, how hamas resistance fighters had treated them, giving them from their own food, giving them safety, encouraging them to exercise in the limited space, playing with the kids, i mean this is really hard. to believe when you are raised with certain people oppressing you to a degree that you know it's as the

settlers say themselves that they they say themselves they have made gazah hell so they make them live in that hell but still the hamas fighters when they have someone captive when they have that someone that cannot inflict harm on them because they don't have weapons this is how they treat them so actually the un what the you everything that the un has ever talked about and he tended to have, the resistance fighters and the resistance front has proven to have that respect for human rights uh that effort to basically not hurt anybody who's not armed who cannot harm them and this is what they have proven so so what it it will eventually came down to it is that all of these resistant fronts would eventually have to make their own system of enforcing rights of making sure that uh basically civilian uh rights are not violated, because as my colleague said, and all of these uh major

atlantic powers, they have never been held accountable for their crimes, so if the the point of the un is always to stand with the western hejamonic front then there is no point for the for the uh ordinary people and for the oppressed people of the world for for there to be a un. thank you miriam uh and thank you for your contribution to hanging out with us on this one, anniversary of operation alexa flood also on the one-year anniversary of the genocide in gaza. press tv's madiam ozar there joining us from our uh press tv team right here in the iranian capital uh tehran. now we also have uh moti abu musa - press tv gaza correspondent uh joining us in the central gaza city of deer abalah he's been on standby thanks for your patience uh moti before i update our viewers i was going to update them on what the operation alexa of flood was moti which i have. been doing every couple minutes giving that update, but i'm going to allow you to give it, tell us the the morning of october

7th last year, the rocket started and then the the resistance with the uh bulldozers, the breaching that the fence, the uh the the jeeps and the motorcycles and the uh going into settlements, well the tell us how it unfolded if you could for our viewers before i do because i've done it like about dozen times, i want to hear it from you, a palestinian on the ground there in gaza who who's been standing behind a palestinian resistance all your life, tell us how that day unfolded, and then the as they brought the captives back and then the the the genocide that's been unleashed step by step if you could over the last 12 months, if you give us a recount of operation alexa flood and also the one-year campaign of genocide against your people, moti, i know i'm asking for lot, just bear with us if you coulduh and give us that report please, yes actually before talking in further details about those topics relevant to the ongoing genocidal war

that came uh following as you know uh the october what happened on october the 7th let me say that moments ago a barage of the palestinian rockets actually uh was launched into the depth of the of the occupied territories we are talking about a fresh barage of the palestinian rockets were launched moments ago apparently they are heading towards the depth of the israeli. occubition and this indicates clearly that we have been talking about all along since day one of this genocidal war uh that the palestinan resistance in gaza strip is far away from being eradicated no matter how the israel incubition forces attempted to destroy the residential areas and to analyve more palestinan civilians let's be clear that after year of this uh genocidal war against gaz st the palestinian resistance is still indomerable uh and it is still resiliant in gaza strip as it is still able to fight back against the israel incubation forces, we are

not talking about launching more barages and this levels of the palestinian rockets into the depth of the israeli regime, but we are we are talking about more qualitative operations carried out by the palestinian resistance a daily basis when it comes to hitting and targeting the israeli tanks attempting to attack the resistential areas left trans central and all areas of gaz strip, every battlefield in gaza strip is still witnessing more. stunch and the qualitative operations of the palestinian resistance till this moment after 365 consecutive days of this unicider war against gaz step as you know this genucidal war uh was uh was waged against gaz strip in order to eradicate the palestinian resistance and to smash the palestinian resistance in all areas of gaz strip however palestinan resistance is still able to carry out more operations and counterattacks against the israel incubation forces until this moment we have more israeli soldiers actually being unalived and wonded as a result of those quantitative operations and as i have

mentioned before the parestinan resistance presents more evidence and clues that they are still able to deter the israel incubation forces and it means clearly that having this kind of unprecedented genocidal war against gaza has never succeeded to eradicate the palestinian resistance or to prevent the palestinian resistance and this represents a clear fiasco for the israeli regime that is stated that the main goal of this genocidal war to prevent the palestine of resistance from reiterating their attacks against the israeli regime so uh "this means clearly that the israeli army and the israeli regime is still in a tight corner when it comes to these goals stated regarding this ongoing genocidal war against gaza strip. what we have been witnessing since day one of this onslot on gaza strip is genocidal war waged against the palestinian civilians because according to gaza's health ministry that the israel incubation forces have unalived and

killed at least 41,4 and and 603838." palestinan civilian 60% out of them were women and children and this number is still rising incrementally a daily basis we have more palestinan casualties left behind those brutal strikes and attacks and they are from women and children as well so this is the normal response this is the normal result of having such a hard liner government in the authority of the israeli regime because this is the real manifestation of the racist mentality and the brutality they have against the palestinian people. uh once again, 365 consecutive days of this genocidal war against gaza have never succeeded to eradicate or to stop the palestinian resistance not only here in gaza strip but in all areas of the palestinian territories and we are witnessing how even other fronts are being as you know escalating uh against the

israeli incubation forces the israel incubation forces are still seeking more wars and they are still pushing the entire region. for or to the praying of the regional war and all out war, however the resistance and the access of resistance generally is still able to deter the israeli incubation forces unlike what the israeli regime attempts to uh to show or to display that it is it still has the upper hand in the region palestinan resistance supported and backed by all other fronts and resistance in the region - still able to uh punish the israeli convision forces and to respond to the israeli uh attacks and the israeli violations against those areas uh we are talking about one of the most horrifying wars waged against any occupai people because what is happening in gaza uh to the palestinian people here over the last year and it is still underway as you

know as the israeli forces are still hitting and attacking various parts of gaza system is still unprecedented the human. has never ever watched or experienced something like this in terms of the wide scale destruction of the residential areas and the deep destruction of the infrastructure and addition to the sheer number of the palestinian casualties most the women and childreners you now and what is really horrifying for the palestinian people is that the israel incubation forces are still adoment with the policy of continuing this war against the palestinian people as they are escalating this war against the palestinian people with more prof and horrifying attacks being carried out against the pecin people left transcent and moti back a january palestinian resistance group hamaste issued a 16 page report um highlighting the motives behind the october 7th operation alexa flood moti and uh they said it was titled our narrative operation

alexa flood aimed at refuting israel's claim said that operation alexa flood was necessary and natural response moti against israel's plans to eliminate the palestinian cause, seas palestinian lands, judeis palestinian properties, establish complete control over the alaxa mosk and other holy sites, it underscored operation alaxa flood represents a strategic move to alleviate the blockade in the gaza strip going on almost 20 years now moti and you know the fallout from that how it's impacted the lives and of palestinians in gaza uh to break free from israeli occupation, restore national rights, attain independence, shape palestinian destiny and establish a palestinian state with jerusalem. as its capital moty, i don't think palestinian resistance thought that the regime's response would be this barbaric campaign of uh genocide and ethnic cleansing

the civilian population and the anniholation the civilian infrastructure of gaza muti? yes, it has become abundantly clear that what happened on october the 7th regarding the qualitative operation carried out by the palestinan resistance. against the military sides and the israely settlements in the gass envelope actually has never uh as you happened in vacuum because uh those this kind of this qualitative operation came as a response as normal response to long decades the israeli violations the israeli attacks persecution colonization and the potalizations that have never stopped for a while against the palestinian people not only here in the gaza strip as you know gaza strip itself has been under the suffocating sie for roughly 17 consecutive years that left the entire uh population here and a full and absolute misery and despair as thats of

getting siege touched and reach every life aspecting gaza strip basically when it comes to the gaza health sector and as you know this kind of the absolute fragility and collapse that we have been witnessing since the one of this war regarding the gaza uh health sector is normal r response and a consequence of the those years of the suffocating sage imposed on gaza strip, so you can imagine how catastrophic the situation is for the palestinian people to enter this war or to be subjected to this unicidal war without having any kind of any medical or health infrastructure as a result of that horrifying and brutal sage imposed in gaza strip since 2007 so far, so this is one the darkest sides that the palestinian people have been experiencing and living and even before this war began and this is actually what we have been talking about since day one of this onslla in gaza that what happened on october the 7th was a real embodyment of the

response of the palestinian people and it is normal response for any occupai people to be as it has been subjected to these decades of torture and persecution and colonization carried out by the israel incubation forces and let's be clear for and to let's reply to all to are still claiming that what happened and what is happening in gaza strip is normal response and a retaliatory attack by the israel incubation forces to what happened on october the 7th, we have the wisbang and we have been witnessing the violations and the brutalities practiced against the palestinian people and there was no the 7th attack there, however the israeli attacks are still underway and abated against the palestinian people, we have been witnessing a real uptic and surge of the israeli violations and the brutalities against the... people and there was no october the 7th attack there and even when it comes to jerusalem, we are been as you have been talking about how the israelition forces all along the trying to

change the status quo on the ground in jerusalem, they are still trying to as you to impose new as de facto situation for the palestinian people by as you know trying to create their temporal and special as you know new conditions on the palestinian people they are still judovizing jerus. in favor of the israeli political and religious agenda, so this means clearly that we are suffering from this uh brutal israel regime that has no limitations, has no red lines when it comes to the palestinian people, they are still denying the rights of the palestinian people, even the right to existence, this is the essential and the core problem that we have here, it's not about what happened on october the 7th and we should... allow for those ministry media outles to uh to to let the people or to mislead the people that what is happening here is normal response of the israeli occupation to the operation that took

place on october the 7th, we are talking about 75 consecutive years of this ongoing brutalization and occupation against the palestinian people that influence actually all all life aspects of the palestinian people and that... is every corner of the occupied palestinan territories, it's not about gaza step, and this is why this operation was entitled with flood to indicate clearly that it's not about gaza, it's not about this afghanic siege, albeat it is horrific for the palestinian people, and it was one of the main reasons palestinian people as you responded a rose up against israeli occupation forces, so these aspects actually need to be clear. everyone else that particularly after year of this ongoing genicidal war against gaza strip, we can see clearly that those ministry media are still enabling this genocide against the

palestinian people by... justificate by presenting more justifications for the israel incubation forces and they are still trying and they are still insisting on misleading the people and the folks outside uh and they are still as you moving in on the horizon of the israeli propaganda machine giving them more time giving them more justification order to as you to annihilate more palestinian people in gaza strip thank you mi stay safe we'll talk to you soon there uh joining us our correspondent. from gaza joining us from the central city of dear abalah also uh just before that we had madiam ozar joining us from our press tv team right here in tehran in our tehran studios. we take a short break now on the one-year anniversary of operation alax the flood that is rolling coverage that uh you're witnessing right now here on press tv, the one-year anniversary operation alax the flood as well as the one-year anniversary of the genicide in the besieg gaza strip uh watch a short clip on

operation alexa flood. we'll be back. a few minutes to continue your all encourage. stay tuned. israelis attack the palestinians whose lands they have occupied for all this time. the palestinians attack the israelis in measured and decisive fashion. when they attack, the israelis use way better weapons, vehicles, tanks and other high-tech equipments, but it is the palestinians that make history when they attack.

october the 7th 2012. 23 was a day that made history, the israeli regime has been waging war on the gaza strip since, killing men, women and children, in what looks like a desperate attempt at forgetting the memory and the humiliation of that faithful day. one year since the attack, the israeli regime has killed nearly 42,000 palestinians, yet has utterly failed to provide security for itself. in this episode of in a nutshell, we take a look back at that day and how it has since made a difference in israel's assumptions about itself and in the world about israel. when palestinian resistance fighters led by hamas crossed what israel considers its heavily fortified border with gaza on october the 7th last year, they said foot on territory that was their own. they had already rendered high-tech israeli monitoring and espionage equipment in watch towers along the zone ineffective and they entered on foot driving cars and motorbikes

and via paragliders from the air. the israeli occupiers were fast asleep on palestinian land. they would soon wake up in horror to sounds of gunfire and explosions. the owners the land they had occupied and refused to leave for so long were there to make a statement. the hamas fighters killed hundreds of israelis as the day went on and took hundreds captive in a huge and what described as unrepairable blow to israel's long-term attempts to portray itspionage apparatus as invincible. outraged by the humiliation it had suffered, the israeli military on that same day started pounding gaza, which hamas rules, in a war that continues to this day. the mounting civilian death tool in the israeli war and the horrific images of schools, hospitals and mosks being bombed from the air by israel have grabbed the world's attention. months after the israeli war started, south africa brought a case against israel at the international court of

justice. that accuses the tel aviv regime of genocide. israel has been fighting with american bullets of course, and that has not been lost on the world. countries have called on the united states as well as other providers of weapons to the tel aviv regime, to stop arming it as long as it refuses to agree to humanitarian sease fires. world leaders used the latest united nations security council meeting in new york this week to castigate israel and its international backers over the war in gaza. one year on, israel has failed to achieve its declared goals in gaza, the regime has instead been forced to fight on multiple fronts. it has become a war of attrition that israel has had to toil to conduct. the tel aviv regime has been hamoraging money to purchase military equipments and pan-handling america for neverending replenishments. it's not like palestine is alone. it's supporters in iran, the lebanese hezbollah, iraqi resistance groups and the yemeni ansarulah

movement have had a back in ways that are sometimes discrete, sometimes explicit. hezbolah has been raining rockets and missiles on israel, disrupting the israeli's sense of calm, deeper in territory it is occupied. the ensauralah members have. targeted israeli linked ships in the red sea, while iraqi resistance fighters launched drone attacks on the occupied territory. october the 7th has only strengthened the palestinian cause, but the soldiers of palestine who fought and died on that day received an honor that was more personal than the world could glimpse at first sight. when they fell to the ground, they fell on land that was their own. welcome back to a press tv and our rolling coverage of the one-year anniversary of operation alaxa flood, those

were uh palestinian resistance factions led by uh hamas began uh the morning of october 7th uh these are live images from a lebanese capital beirot, you could see ploms of smoke. as thesign entity has not let up in its uh attacks aggressive attacks on lebanese uh towns including the uh capital bayrut uh multiple cities and towns and lebanon have been the focus of the uh regimes uh by um aggression simultaneous on the bessieg gaza strip now and is having escalated into lebanese uh territory. the the uh israeli regime said it was going after hamas and gaza for the last 12 months now 365 days of onslot on gaza to supposedly wipe out the hamas um resistance.
