3:48 pm
damascus, i'm sure we'll be seeing him again. moving on for israel troopers. a car ramming attack a military checkpoint in the occupied west bank. the israel military claims the operation was conducted by a palestinin man was later killed by the regime's forces. of course martins and ramalandil joined us earlier with details. well, according to israeli military, after midnight, a palestinian man in his vehicle arrived a checkpoint near the city of. in the lands occupied in 1948 central israel known as central israel, he rammed his vehicle into israeli policemen or officers and wonded at least four of those, one of them was in serious condition, then he left the area after chase, he succeeded to reach a military
3:49 pm
checkpoint known as eliaho near the city of natania also inside the lands that were occupied the 9. 48, there he exited his vehicle and tried to stab israeli uh officers there, as they are saying, and then the israeli soldiers opened fire at him, shot him and killed him, so the israeli military are saying that this man is 26 year old from the city of iri that was occupied in 1948 and he's not from the occupied west bank, the israels warned that palestinians are still living in the in historical palestine let's say or had been carrying out anti-israeli operations in the last few months and number of palestinians there has been killed whether for stabbing israeli soldiers and officers or
3:50 pm
for carrying out ramming attacks and sometimes palestinians had guns to shoot and kill israeli forces, at the end of the day the israeli trips had killed, let's say since the 7th of october palestinians from all the occupied territories, whether the west bank, the occupied alfots or even in the lands occupied in 1948 had killed over 457 palestinians, of course we are saying that the majority of those were shot and killed. here in the occupied west bank during military incurgence at military checkpoints and others were members of the resistance groups in addition to the fact that children and women had also being killed by the israeli forces in cold blood here in the occupied west bank. thinches remain high between lebanance hisbollah resistance
3:51 pm
movements and israel since the regime launched this genocidal war in gaza. both sides have been exchanging fire, but israel has intensified its attacks on lebanese civilians in recent weeks. we were joined earlier by our beirout correspondence mariam saleh to know more about the latest israely strikes on civilian areas in southern lebanon and potential hazbollah's retaliatory attacks. "we know that the israelis have heavily bombarded the natural reserves of the towns of ramyan, the outskirts of shab, well at least 60 phosphorus bombs uh were fired on the natural reserves of ramia, which is considered one of the biggest, one of the largest in the country. we also had some 20 artillery missiles that were targeted also on these two towns in addition. to another 20 missiles that were targeted that were launched from the tanks, from the israeli's tanks on that side. now we know also from
3:52 pm
israeli reports that that could be a sign that there was a hizballah operation in the in that side which is considered the eastern part of the border since there were sirens that were sounding in the eastern side of the the gilil region and those settlements there and usually when you have that type of rage from the israeli army, that usually signifies that hazballah was able to inflict heavy losses upon the israelis and we're not just talking about destruction of maybe settlement or the destruction of the post and devices and hardware, but we're also talking about losses uh within the israeli um military personnel, perhaps soldiers, which is something of course the israelies don't admit to, but it's is clear and evident from their reports that there are usually many uh israeli soldiers that are taken to hospital, addition to the fact that you have lot of officials and even commanders and officers
3:53 pm
from the israeli army that are talking about the heavy price they are paying um on the northern side which is of course the occupied palestinian territory in the galile region so that means although they have not they are not admitting to it officially they are losing soldiers on the ground in that area. international day is annual pro-palestinian event marked on the last friday of the holy month of ramadan. the day was designated by the founder of the islamic republic of iran m 1979 in solidarity with palestinians. people worldwide will mark this year's good stay on the coming friday. our correspondent in belfast has asked some people there about the event and it's importance to the palestinian cause. let's take a listen. i think that the iranian government choosing. a symbolic day as the last friday in ramadan as alcoud's day as a day of celebrating solidarity with the palestinians really shows that solidarity with palestine is their number one foreign
3:54 pm
policy priority and has been since the revolution so i think that palestinians especially in these days in midst of war, starvation and genocide uh will treasure this act of solidarity more than in any year before, and i believe fully that the... really ambassador should be expelled from ireland, i believe that everyone, everyone has a right to protest and and should be on the streets calling for this genocide, this mass murder, not only to be stopped, but we should be calling for netanyahu to be in the hig, and and and the international war crimes committee should be taken him for the crimes against humanity that he has created in gaza, as i said, it's one thing to murder innocent people with bombs. and with bullets, but to use hunger, starvation and and and famin as a way of murdering and wiping out innocent men, women and children is aborent and is the
3:55 pm
worst crime in humanity in in a long, long time. it is definitely genicide caused by the scientists, definitely, and it didn't happen on the 7th of october, this has been going on for years, israel, the palestinians have been living an open. isn't for years and years and i think it's ridiculous that the west isn't seeing what's happening while they are seeing it, but they're doing nothing about it and that's was so frustrating for the people to watch all these children, men women, we boys not getting murder, i think it's it's absolutely disgraceful that that the west acts like it does, that the west funds this fs this terrorism, i call it terrorism buse that's exactly what it is, it's it's been terrorism for the last. 25 years in palestines was we are stunning here in west belfast in ireland, we are all palestinians and our thousands and our millions, we all
3:56 pm
need to... be palestinians so that from the river to the sea that palestine will be free and with that we come to an end for this additional world news, thanks for being with us, it's bye-bye for now.
3:57 pm
