the israel military has urged civilians and gaza to relocate to the south of the region to receive humanitarian aid to for over 2 weeks. the idea is quote and continue calling the civilians of northern gods and gods, a city to temporarily move through your own safety, move south to why, because we are continue to assist the efforts lead by egypt and the united states to provide you money thoroughly on airport. in this area, we will have food, water, and may be sent to the people of garza. and are you on his sister as a lach? i've been killed by him off told r t how she found out about her sister's condition. showing her the car seat on friday night and in saturday morning,

around 70 m to call my dad is telling him that there are like sirens around this. come on the end of all kids or that a fat again. and that you spying. and he's scared to live negative, so she's going to wait for the situation to calm down and she's going on die back home. human. it's afternoonish. i called her and she didn't pick her up her phone a went to all of the videos of the coma. she wasn't doing any of the videos and joe, so i've been in any of the hospital, so i truly believe that she was kidnapped. but apparently they were just too many good bodies to recognize the she do. i mean, you weeks after, i don't know anyone to do ation. she i watch act on i believe that she and her best friend, i mean i hide together. they tried to run for this guilt and then they got checked together. they that there is shut them into back on for the building and nobody

found uh blocks for each other. the after 5 days of digging in there were numerous people in muslim majority. countries have taken to the streets after friday prayers to express solidarity with the citizens of gaza, master ali's warehousing jordan into tar, as well as the west bank with participants carrying palestinian flags and seeking out in support of civilians and dogs that israel has been bombarding this trip with air strikes and artillery attached for 20 days since the various palestinian resistance forces led by hum us conducted in the offensive on is really soil. also in the united states, thousands of demonstrators marched in new york city to express their support for the people of gaza. the crowds outside the united

nations building in manhattan, held up houses, sent in floods and chanted slogans in support of those under bombardment. some banners had the clear message to quote ad, the us fonts or genocide in gaza. the the pedagogues announced that it has long strikes on facilities. a claims were used by our ron's as law made revolutionary guards in eastern syria. later, it added that quote, the united states does not see conflicts and has no intention or desire to engage and further hostilities. these precision and self defense strikes are response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against us personnel in iraq and syria, by iranian back to militia groups that began on october 17th. this, with the us taking part in air strikes on syria that are usually reserved by israel . washington's forces still remain on the ground in the oil rich part of the

country, and welcomed for years by damascus. america's boot, how in the region is growing too, as bided recently dispatched 2000 marines to israel, along with 2 navy carriers. frank groups to park off it's mediterranean shores, along also with fighter just and associated air defense headquarter elements. add to that. so you're. c airless, arriving at idea spaces, daily furnish weapons supplies. the former syria military general mohammed album says his country has been victimized by terrorism waged by the united states . the americans used to say that the to says the defense, i guess the covered for this is the basis of, let's say that the, the american existence or the american being is here or the legal. so they don't have any, any right to the,

to say that drug and defense. and so this is about the, i think got to the ceiling this says, or the actions over this. so, so how's that i have to take off or to one of those and then it goes up to, i mean like i know these are going to dominate or to, to, to for cdl in a or to put you to it very, very hard of the positions nowadays we, we are facing a heart of the clinic and vitamin the are the source of the vitamin. we know it is we are facing the american tourism in syria. that's where i live. to ortiz, the middle east bureau chief, maria from ocean are in israel. and archie corresponded the austin ecken in lebanon . maria, what has the, is really military said it's going to do at this moment. if you will, i have to tell you that has very often during this escalation between israel and

him as we hear it quite contradictory statements from war and sides, or just heard that the idea of calls on gallons, for example, to move to the southern parts of the guys as trade closer to the diction, boulder, vowing to provide and trends and humanitarian efforts there is to help civilians cope with as dire situation. but at the same time, we hear from the health ministry based in gaza, that 65 percent of just this week's victims come from the southern parts. all things plays again, it's really hard to navigate to these contradictory reports and this information cannot be independently verified. unfortunately, at this moment, also as a 0 continue is it smells are operating against him. us with these really air force is firing. hundreds of targets inside the guys is 3 every day. these ro is very often criticized and condemned for a targets in residential areas and civilian infrastructure, including with facilities,

according to palestinian sources since the beginning of the escalation around $180000.00 residential units has been destroyed and the health ministry in gaza. claim that 60 institutions have been damaged and closed. mold in 17 medical personnel have been killed in 25 ambulances are currently out of service or damaged due to the attacks. early on friday, the army invited for immediate to explain all that the idea of spokesperson said that's how mass is used in hospitals for their military purposes, and that makes the hospitals military infrastructure for israel. the idea of suppose person was particularly talking about chief a hospital, the largest and the gas is treat saying that this is where a mass located. they are command and control centers. this is from where they launch may solve state, directs their attacks against israel. this is where they store ammunition at the

west side use. the army also said that they have a concrete app. it is but hundreds of her mass militants who returns to guys after entering a 0 and killing civilians and clashing with the army. here on october, the 7th currenty hiding inside this ship, a hospital in the guise of street. and also the spokesperson said that inside this hospital there are numerous entrances to the underground tunnels, or rather to the underground military base. so all that turns it into a legitimate target for these really air forces. the idea of spokes person basically said the chemist wages war against israel problem hospitals, exploding civilian populations and using of all the civilians as human shields. and he also added that the fuel that the un agency for palestinian refugees providing for hospitals end up in the hands of him. uh so we,

i guess makes packed more targets and more firing at the residential areas inside the guys in the coming hours. of course, that's our teeth, maria, the notion, i'm middle east bureau chief. thank you. and now let's turn to lebanon's border with israel, which has also been a flash point and made the current conflict. yes. and what are the latest developments that you've, i'm cover, cover thus far? or for the most part, the clashes in lebanon's itself has been sporadic with the israeli defense forces and there's been a great deal of back and forth. but on friday as well log carried over the tags. similarly over the past week or 2, but uh, the hezbollah media office actually issued a statement suggesting that the attacks carried out by his lot today was done. so using guided missiles. now this was a matter of great concern for, of course, these really side as well as many people that are living in living on the as well last side has not been using guided missiles or munitions with respect to the

attacks that it's been carrying out. but over the past week, a large number of militants and even a storage of a representative of figures had been killed as a result of these attacks. so it's a simple enough to say that to the has been lost side has been angered by the exhausted bathing situation further more of course. so these really sided the continues to bolster upsets defenses in it's northern border along the lebanese border. many towns and villages across the stretch of the border on the liberty side had been evacuated. people have been relocating to different parts of the country, but it's not just the civilian infrastructure that's looking for an alternative to ensure that if war does break out and live in on, enters a protracted conflict that things are put in place. more importantly, the lebanese military, for the most part, has not engaged with the conflicts of the classes along its border, is doing its best to ensure that certain things are in place. for example, joseph

r. u e is the commander of chief of lebanon, spar me, and he is expected to end his mandate in january of next year. this will essentially create a power vacuum and a lack of authority of powers. considering that the state of the region is at a tipping point for the most part, but there are some solutions on the table. and the interim government and the caretaker officials had been suggesting some implementations that could be utilized event this power vacuum from happening. but it seems like there's a great deal of opposition, and this is a matter of concern because since may of last year living on has not been able to wreck a uniform governments and carry out its tasks. that should be a primary action for many people that live in the country. we've also had the opportunity to speak to some of the local, suggesting what they would do if this war was to spill over to 11 on what if they roads and cities like that are targeted by these attacks. and they suggest that the country already suffers from

a dire political and economic issue. they have for access to water and electricity resources as well. and they suggest, if israel does, in fact enter this war, even if it's in retaliation to his belie and we have actions that is coming along its border. that is really good care. of course caviello attacks targeting civilian infrastructure for the most part that they will try to carry out attacks targeting bridges, water facilities, as well as electricity facilities, the country, all the struggles with that for the most part people, regardless of how they feel about the events unfolding and gaza suggests that they've just cannot afford this war. so it's important for the political in the military structure to ensure that they have their solutions in place. if they've been on is to enter this protracted complex, depending on the actions carried out by physical law. that's archie corresponded yes. and again in lebanon and ortiz, middle east bureau chief, maurice, the notion of, in israel. thank you both and as

a conflict between israel and palestine has claim thousands of lives. washington says it's skeptical of the high just old numbers emerging from gaza. we don't have any way to make an accurate assessment of our own about the number of civilians who have died in gaza. there's not an independent body that's operating in the gaza that can provide an accurate number. but we do have skepticism about everything that come off says. but that said, obviously a number of civilians have died, which is why we're working to do everything we can to minimize civilian arm and get him out of here and assistance in to the civilians and gaza amid the ongoing is rarely palestinian war. us officials seem to have gone a little inconsistent in their beliefs for saying that they won't know civilian casualties in the conflict. so claiming that a war will have bloodshed. well, we don't want to see any civilian deaths or injuries as a result of this conflict. the right number of civilian casualties, quite frankly. got 0. i said this the other day in and i think your

question, it prompts me to say it again because i, i think it's an important notion. this is for it is combat. it is bloody, it is ugly and it's going to be messy. and innocent civilians are going to be hurt going forward. i wish i could tell you something different. i wish that that wasn't going to happen. but it is, it is going to happen, or let's also add to that when president biden seemed to have had no issues with emphasizing the number of that is riley civilians. i know recently the tears to solve the people this nation has left a deep deform, more than 1300. this is realized. killed clue, reese, 31 american citizens by the terrace group from us. but he most definitely draws the line at the numbers coming from gaza. what do i say to me is i have no notions or palestinians, or tell me the truth about how many people are killed. i'm sure,

and this is having killed and it's a price of waging war, but i have no confidence in the number that the palestinians use. but it also looks like tensions with in us state department are running high as older officials that growing frustrated with the biden administration stands on the situation in the middle east. this administration's response and march of congress, as well as an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias, political convenience, intellectual, bankruptcy, and bureaucratic inertia. that is to say, it is immensely disappointing and entirely unsurprising. the case of the same approach have shown that security for peace leads to me that security not to piece the state department staff are even getting ready to send out urgent, distant cables, over washington's backend of israel. one of the draft as disclosed by the media allegedly demands an immediate cease fire and exhorts washington to support

a more well rounded approach to ending the conflict. when is really officials no longer differentiate between homos and civilians of gaza. when strikes, talk, adults, threats and civilian institutions, such as places of worship, schools or medical facilities, is ro must, would double to rejoin if he runs to international norms, we so proudly and rightly preached to all the nations. and while us officials are finding it hard to stick to one story or one side, apparently the media should do just that. and preferably only show the crisis from the is rarely view point. otherwise, you're doomed to be a how much sympathizer, if the international media is objective, it says come us. if it just shows both sides, it says, come us. my argument is that the media congress claim to bring both sides of the story. if you do that, you're only bringing one, come off the side and even worse,

palestinians are now being compared to known humans by prominent is rarely figures . you know, i'm, i'm very puzzled by the constant. the concern which the world and the, and also britain, i must, a mock is showing for the palestinian people and is actually showing for these horrible in human animals. so no more pretense about civilian lives from the biggest western voices and no mass game that the media may be objective in his coverage about both sides of the conflict. a that's are out for now. but for more on the latest israel palestine conflict cut over to r t dot com. thanks for turn in and tell so far the, [000:00:00;00]

the, the western world is given is real, a green light to exact revenge in the wake of a mazda is attack on october 7th, and doing so. the west has made it clear international humanitarian law, and the rules of war are subjective and arbitrary. some lives for more valuable than others. the so the data?

yes, to the or the to the the, the phone that silly by the 3 the my key positive, the partnership and the solve the back over to somebody. campbell, the most of the money to carry out our programs and do our research for free meals comes from a variety of sources. certainly from the us government and other donor governments that are interested are involved in promoting of democracy, human rights for so america is financed by the us government. and the voice of america is part of the federal government. the us international organizers limited to people, programs here, but the pots now with the local, into the, we got all of the we got it. so each is simple, simple to holiday and sweet. to make the sense of for information promise,

the holidays instead of having just to see i going around behind the scenes and trying to look into that. i see process secretly by inserting money here and instructions there and so forth. they have no a psychic, which is this national endowment for democracy. i worked at the state department back in the 1980s here in washington, some of my colleagues and i had this some great ideas. what's your we'd be voting well we should be promoting democracy. democracy is the thing we ought to be from the
