moona candel and mustafadian academic and journalist joining us from paris. like to welcome you with the program. i want to start with our press tv correspondent. mona, the latest if you can, i'm sure you heard about. anything related to to gaz and occupied west bank, go ahead, yes, unfortunately, the people of the god subjected and subjected to the worst night because of israeli shiling, continuing all over, because with phone and internet, however, we are receiving now from the israeli military reporting reports claiming that the ground operation is still continuing, however it's not a wide spread, incurent to the gap, however they claim that strats struck 150 underground targets run by hamas in the northern areas, including tunnels as they claim additional underground infrastructure. the israeli military also explaining that the forces had assassinated head hamas air force, the same time has movement issued a statement confirming that spighters are prepared to confront israeli troops and they had revealed earlier that their fighters and fire fights had tak

and the israeli forces are continuing to deploy at the military checkpoints all over the occupied moona, before we leave you, uh, how do palestinians feel about this worldwide support uh that they're getting at this point? the palestinians know very well that uh the people around the world, whether in the islamic or the arab word, people can do nothing but to take part in the protest and the rally, to continue mentioning and speaking about the people of the gaza as well as condemning the israeli crimes and the killing of the children there, so palestinians know that if it was possible for... the people, the islamic in the islamic world and the arab world, if they were able to come to palistin and to fight with the palestinian people, of course they will do, however the israels are preventing palestinians themselves to go to gaza street, are preventing palestinians themselves to enter to al-quds and the pray in at al-aqsa mask, however they are also calling on the arab countries to allow their own people to freely take part in the protest. to express their opinion to speak about the gaza

moona, do i have you with me?rub northern al khalil. we have to mention that this young man, according to his family members, there has been a closure to the refugee camp of al-arrub and he wanted to leave the refugee camp to visit his sick father, his father was sick and he was transferred to hospital and he tried to go and visit his father in the hospital, immediately israeli forces were stationing at one of the towers at the entrance to the refugee camp of al-arrub, opened fire at the vehicle and then he came out from the vehicle 400 meters away from the israeli soldiers, despite that they shot him and killed him and prevented anyone to come and rescue him or the palestinian ambulances to save him, so we are speaking today about 95 palestinians were killed by the israels, over 1300 had been wonded, over 1200 had been arrested by the israeli forces and this increases the number of palestinian prisoners behind israeli bars, today we are speaking about six 6,500 palestinians are incarcerated in israel. the jails a

trying to do their best whether to collect information from here or there yes unbelievable situation moona, are the the the towns are still cut off from each other on the west bank, just tell me about the day to day there right now? yes, unfortunately the all the roads leading to al cots is completely closed, so the residents of al-quds who will work in the occupied west bank areas were not able to return back to alkut because of the closure of the checkpoint, the colandia military checkpoint, they only opened the the road for one hour a day just the last week, the roads between the palestinian areas is closed, entrance to several villages had been closed by by metal gates as well as by huge cement blocks, israeli forces bringing huge cement blocks, stationing them at the entrances of the villages and the refugee camps, for example there is the nearby aljazon refugee camp, there were classes several days. go because the israels a huge metal gate and the stationed it to prevent the movement between the areas so the residents of al jalazon can go to only the city of ramula however the not th

gaza strip, whether we go to the north, south, east or west, and of course, no way to get out, and as moonat wave a palestinian flag. i mean, your thoughts on all of this. is sad to see that the free world unable to tolerate the freedom of expression within the law. they cannot tolerate to have anybody who suppresses support to the palestinians openly or to raise their flags. of course this is the uh the the the declared policy and when the interior minister of britain suela breverman declared last week that it will be a criminal offense to carry the flag of palestine. it seems to me that she failed in in that declaration because there was a massive. demonstration on saturday, which was full of the flags of palestine in all sizes and the police were there, they probably and i am sure that the police told the their bosses that we cannot enforce such a law which which is draconian, which is backwards, which really violates the freedom of speech, however the general attitude among the western country, the western governments leaving the people alone or aside, the attitude is that we are with i

moona candel correspondent and romelo is also with us. mona, how do you feel when you see this widesspread uh global awareness and global support for the palestinians, which many experts are saying that this is basically uh, essentially unprecedented. it's because maybe the massacres being committed against the people of the ghaza strip are unprecedented as well. palestinians feel comfort when they know that uh people around the world are protesting, demonstrating, expressing their support for the palestinians demanding an end to the israeli massacres, israeli genocide being... the people of the ghaza ship, but at the same time, the people in gaza are saying that it's time for word countries to say to israel, stop, immediate. end this war, because it's not a war against palestinian resistance, it's a war and the genocide against everything palestinian in the gaz strip, they are killing women, children and cold the blood, murdering people, destroying holy sides, churches, masks, hospitals, hospitals that are supposed to be treating injured

okay, moona, i'd like to ask you about one of the things that you said hamas has said in terms of capturing um 50 soldiers. now um, you said that there are also male and female soldiers involved, if i was to understand you correctly, if you can answer that, and also the fact that there's some settlers who are also in captivity, um, is there any video footage or anything that you've seen that supports that, because we understand from different. sources that after the palestinian fighters uh went into the occupied territories from the ghaza strip that there were many israelis who were captured um and i'm wondering if these are just civilians they were in towns or how how this came about if you have that information the number of those who had been arrested it's still unknown the israeli military said they think think five or six israeli soldiers had been detained, however, according to the to the palestinian resistance group, they are saying that they arrested maybe between 40 to 50, or or even 35, others are saying 40 had been detained, but the footage circulating on social media, we're show

moona, this is bardy here, i'm taking over uh for danny, can just please give us a uh um a quick description right now, we're seeing all these uh demonstrations taking place around the world in solidarity with palestinians, how do palestinians feel when they see such a worldwide support with regards to their cause uh, do you think that there is increase of global awareness when it comes to the palestinian question? the palestinians know very well that the people of the world are supporting them, there are some conditions islamic. countries of course and arab countries are standing with the palestinian cause today rally is all over the the words are taking in place pro uh palestinian demonstrations and the protests are taking place in support of the people of the god in the first place and also to call for immediate stop of the israeli crimes but today the people here are asking is that enough protests and valles are enough? no they are not enough.
