Juli kassam is a journalist and political analyst joining us from beirout for her perspectives on what is happening regarding operation i lost the flood. First to you, mana, um, give us what you have, we understand that theres a fighting thats going on around the gaza strip, it wasnt clear as to what around means geographically, but are there still resistance fighters in the occupied territories that are fighting against the Regime Forces . It seems that parters still stationing or are still inside number of israeli settlements and towns occupied in the 1948 around the goza strip because the Israeli Military said that exchange of fire and plashes continued to take place until the early hours of monday the Hamas Movement issued a statement saying that the. The the said that it was targetings bengoran airport after the soverens went of in central israel, of the and of course at the. Same time the Israeli Offensive and air strikes against the gaza strip continued with the number of casualties there continue to rise. Hamasa claimed responsibility for rocket attack on the bengorion airport, its the International Airport of course in tel aviv. Al qassami brigades announced on telegram that it launched a rocket on the airport in response to the ongoing israeli. Uh uh aggression on the gaz strip. Yesterday uh footage were uh were circulated on social media with showing Israeli Settlers and maybe people with the with the not only Israeli Settlers, however people were there at the the the airports are trying to leave israel and fear that. The the operation and the uh the hamamas lets say rocket firing would not be only targeting the areas around the ghaza ship because at the end of the day there had been warning from the hamamas armed doing group and the Palestinian Resistance groups as well that the israels should be aware that its its war now and that the israels must pay a high price. So there is the israeli sphere from these threats to find themselves in the face of fighting inside the israeli cities like of course we are speaking about the lands occupied in 1948 in in in in tel aviv in other areas and this is whats going on the rockets are even reaching these areas they reach bangorian airport. I didnt hear you, did any of the rockets hit bangorian airport, thats right, the Hamas Movement issued a statement to claiming responsibility for rocket attack on israels bning International Airport in tel aviv early on monday. All right, let me bring in julia khassam here. Welcome to the program. Um, when you take a look at the. Scenes in lebanon uh that we have seen where the jubilation and really um encouragements along palestinian cause that is something that i am sure that the western uh media cannot even uh associate with although they know what is going on but they cant bring that to the floor uh which is something thats uh missing they know what is going on but they cant bring that to the four uh which is something thats uh missing i believe uh from the way that the story is being reported right now, um, how big factor does that play in order for there to be balanced approach to what is going on . Julia cassem, are you with us . Sorry, sorry, yes, um, so ultimately in terms of how this victory is perceived regionally, again, its its perceived as a regional. Victory as israel is a is a is a threat and an occupation and attack on on all of us in the region so um of course there is a um a sense of solidarity that is definitely gotten very strong and reached uh here in lebanon just as the victories against the zionis in 2000 and 2006 uh also were were victories to palestinians as well um and the the framing of uh of that as as is intentionally omitted in that sense in western media that wants to um frame this as a terror attack against the israelis as a uh as an act of barbarity as as war crimes obviously um all projection there um but yeah this is ultimately a uh an act of resistance that will nobody expects um its going to um really strengthen that sense of solidarity and uh reverberate as a victory in uh palestines uh arab neighbors as well. Mona, when it comes to um, i dont know if youve been out on the streets there in the occupied west bank where you are, for example in ramala, uh, im im guessing that there has to be heighted sense of uh security in and around uh the towns. Are you seeing that . Are you seeing a presence of israeli Regime Forces . The reason why i asked this question is because i id like to understand. Uh whether they are um spread very thin uh when it comes to the numbers that theyre allocating um for uh the onslot that they are experiencing. Last night the there was a number of demonstrations or even not even a planned protest palestinians went to the military checkpoint and its the crossing lets say a big military checkpoint known as colandia military checkpoint its south the south ramalah a northern immediately after young people arrived at the point, Israeli Forces opened a fire at the people, killing number of Young Palestinians, at least four palestinians were shot and killed at the colundia military checkpoint, at least dozen of palestinians had been winded, also at the entrance to the village of beta, more israeli s more israeli. Soldiers are stationing there preventing people to leave the village of beta in napolis and one palestinian was shot and killed, 16 year old imad daily was shot and killed by the Israeli Forces at night at the entrance to the village of beta in nabi saleh as well near ramalah there is a gate we have to to mention something that the palestinian villages outside the cities, the israel is controlled it by putting metal gates, so when they decide to impose kind of curfew or closure, people of of of the villages and the towns are not allowed to leave their homes. Its simple and easy for the for the Israeli Forces to put cement barriers and to lock down the metal gates, so they. Can keep people inside their villages, outside the villages in the cities like in ramala, when people want to leave ramala today to the northern the occupied west bank, they are not allowed because of number of israeli check points like zatara and harar are completely closed, if they want to head to ariha, for example there is the ham checkpoint that is also completely closed, the israels have closed also the military checkpoint of bail, its at the northern entrance to the city of albiri, but at the same time its the only entry for the palestinians to number of palestinian villages around the cities of ramallah and and albiri, yesterday people were receiving messages on their mobiles, warnings from the Israeli Military or or. Then it was clear that these were rumors, the Israeli Military had been burning to carry out a widespread operation and to reoccupied the occupied west bank, they already occupied westbank, however to send soldiers on the ground to completely occupy the westback, people today for the third day, businesses are completely closed, schools are not. Working, transportation, because at the end of the day all the villages and towns are completely closed, people cannot come to the centers of the of the cities from the villages and towns because of the Israeli Military checkpoints and thats why its for the third day, everything is closed, there are no schools, no banks, no transportation, and at the end the day palestinian say they are expecting if the Israeli Military would uh go on with a uh lets say with the uh with with the widespread operation or Field Operation in the ghaza strip a ground operation in the ghaza strip then they fear from a similar operation which be carried out in the occupied west bank one of the things that israeli officials in particular the Prime Minister has said about the gaza strip since our correspondent talks about uh uh the uh operation um is that they want to pretty much uh push out the hamas and all the resistance factions out of that uh strip uh he wants it to be empty um im wondering what that means does that mean what do you think that means i mean does that mean that they want to uh where theyre going to put these uh palestinians uh im trying to understand the trend of thought that they may have. Because the ultimate question here is what the aftermath is going to look like when all of this is uh over uh once uh that point is reached so um, of course, its going to involve an obliteration of what is basically the most concentrated, open and largest open air prison in the world, since 2005, gaza was recognized by the occupation as the part of the occupied palestinian territories that um did not conceed to the concessions that and to the comparador authority that the with the west bank did, so that basically condemned it eternal punish. Um to to starving, blockading, uh, basically putting gaza into horrendous conditions, depriving them of water, depriving them of food, depriving them of importing and exporting anything that could uh, that could make local economy, and then as we see every time, there is an attacker gaza, residential buildings are hit, homes are hit, massive numbers of women, children, um, babies, civilians, elderly, um, come at the forefront of the of the death and casualty count by israeli brutal air strikes against uh gaza, the use of uh skin burning internationally banned white fosphorus is been used uh, right now last night, in response to having an unprecedented number of their uh personnel captured, the zinity return to striking uh homes and residential buildings uh like the cowards they are, theyre not going to uh, you know, um, attack the their their targets from within the Palestinian Resistance on the battlefield or in military context they go straight to uh bombing homes. Um, this is both the tactic to insight terror uh to break the will of the palestinians as well as uh to inflict a mas maximum destruction. To try to indiscriminately um hit whatever whatever target they have, but um again this is this is what netanyahu means netanja wants to flatten gaza again um as a response to gazas commitment to resistance uh for at least the last uh two decades. Mona and israelly um military spokesperson and im going to read off a quote has said that were still fighting there are seven eight locations around gaza um where we have warriors, as he calls the Regime Forces uh fighting the resistance fighters, we thought by yesterday we would have full control, i hope we will by the end of the day. Do you have any idea mona, how many resistance fighters were talking about when it comes to uh their presence on uh the occupied territories and the number of Regime Forces because im trying to again understand uh uh the. Way that the israeli Regime Forces are falling short, because if they have not been able to control the situation after now being the the third day, then it shows that either theyre overwhelmed or theyre just weak when it comes to the uh resistance fighters, well lets see more than 40 hours after the Hamas Movement declared this and launched its unp. Precedented incurgin uh out of the ghaza strip Israeli Forces were still battling with Palestinian Militants hold up in several locations as the Israeli Military had said its not clear where exactly these clashes are taking place however uh maybe the exchange of fire are taking place in the in one of the major illegal settlements or as known as the one of the of the big israel towns outside the goza strip said the israels say exchange of fire are still taking place. Yesterday the uh spokesman of the hamas armed wing said that the the group succeeded to go uh and send more palestinian fighters and they said food and weapon to two hundreds of of palestinian fighters are still. Their in the continuing the the the gun battle and fighting with the Israeli Forces, we are receiving now something, but we are not clear about it, it says that number of palestinian fighters infiltrated again to sedarot and we are speaking about exchange of fire and holding Israeli Settlers hostages, this is what we are. Receiving now, according to the Israeli Military, they are saying that number of palestinian fighters succeeded to infiltrate positions in sedarot and they are holding settlers as hostages or even Israeli Soldiers, so thats confirmed what youre saying right now, this this is sent by the Israeli Military, they claim so that more fighters infiltrated again to positions to sedarot, and they are holding Israeli Settlers hostages. Yeah, so this is a sign, if you agree, where sterot was overtaken by the fighter. There was a battle for the Police Station of which they had control of, then they lost it, but now theyre back in uh and uh they are holding some settlers hostage. It doesnt sound like israel has control, the Regime Forces have control of this particular location, right . Is that is that . Is that correct to look at it that way . Thats right, unfortunately the israelies at first claimed that they were able to take back control on all the legal settlements. And the towns around the gaza strip, however, the fact that exchange of fire is still taking place and the fighting is still continuing and the Israeli Forces are not able to control the the the the complete area, this means that there are number of palestinian fighters, the the exact number of course is not known, the Resistance Group didnt say didnt reveal about the numbers of. Fighters there, at the end of the day, the Israeli Regime formally declared a war and gave the green line for significant military steps in order to retaliate against hamas for this surprise attack, there are calls for netanyahu immediately form a unity government, so the israels were never had never been expecting for such. An operation or this fighting, so yes, uptil the moment the israels are not able to take back control the areas, the Israeli Military had also decided that they would be attempts to bring out all the Israeli Settlers who continue to live in these areas, because up till the moment there are some Israeli Settlers and israelis are living. Or has remained in the the uh the illegal towns and illegal settlements around the gaza stripsam if youre still with us uh based on what just transpired uh in uh the the particular incident with sararat um you you have the leader of the ghaza based Resistance Movement in Islamic Jihad who said uh for israel in order for it to cut its losses and needs to admit defeat im not too sure that israel would do that at this point that since they have given up 700. Lives uh have been lost, israeli lives have been lost, but do you think that ultimately thats where this is going to be headed based on the fact that it um the resistance fighters will be overtaking or overtaking the the Regime Forces um and uh they cant stand up for that or are we looking at outside help that israel uh is going to be getting like from the us who uh has announced that it would deploy Aircraft Carrier and warplanes to support the Israeli Regime so that. Evilly thats what its going to have to come to, um, israel, first of all, the first uh, the first uh myth thats been shattered is the the invincibility and superiority of israeli intelligence, that was shattered the second, this all started, second, the superiority of Israeli Military capability, um, again, had to be confronted with the fact that it was faced with settler population that doesnt want to die that does want to fight um as weve seen uh from uh the uh israelis themselves refusing to head to mobilization orders uh within a few hours uh of the of the latest outbreak um and so again there is internal uh as it was mentioned instability and inability to to have a a unified strategy. From within the Israeli Government that has been in a judicial overhaul, you know, internal spat within itself for the last uh for months now, so uh there there is definitely an inability for the israelis to um to to wage a a response against the the palestinians who have already um superiorly you know beat them in terms of military capability in terms of military um so uh, you know, this is already given the fact that israel has received the backing and blessing the the the highest, the highest grade of western. Weaponry for for decades now, so i dont think thats really going to change the equation, thats not really the uh, the the game changer here, um, so the us announced that it would send uh fighter jets and and naval fleets, i think those are just going to be target practice for the regional resistance at this point, um, i think back to 17 years ago when uh hazbullah, you know, basically blew up an israeli tanker as nastrala was giving a speech towards the beginning of the 2016. War uh so if the us thinks its going to just um you know just send some weaponry to try to salvage what is essentially a uh a failure in the occupations morale and uh will to fight then uh thats really going to not change the the inevitable here um israel broke any chance of being able to sustain its occupation on uh western cold on code Internet National diplomatic terms um with the construction, continued construction of settlements, so the resistance itself has no reason to go back and to give any more uh concessions or any more break to an occupation thats vested in eliminating uh the palestinian population and killing and wiping out the arabs of the region. What are the chances julia of uh getting involved in this war . Hazbullah said it would get involved in this war if uh netanyahus stupidity essentially continues um it will not get involved unless it feels like it has to just like uh you know the palestinians seem to take care of things themselves in the last sige uh in uh julia depends on how far uh the the israels. Are just willing to go. All right, thanks julia. We got disconnected for second there. Um, maybe thats a good time for us to uh now uh look at some footage that we have from uh a bulldozer. I believe that uh was ramped into an area that youre going to see right now. Um, lets see what has occurred here. Uh, this is a bulldozer thats being driven uh, if thats a buldozer if im correct to uh, see that as being one. Thats being driven in a street there, and lets see what course of action is being taken here. Okay, try, trying, trying to make out where this bulldozer is traveling to and where it came from. This i believe is the area, which was security area for the um Regime Forces. Which we had in our um news, the area about that had the the number 8800 of which there were number of bulldozers that were set a light and also were taken, this may be related to that of which the palestinian fighters have uh taken the bulldozer from the Regime Forces. We have our u correspondel, hopefully shes still with us, maybe she can tell us more about this, so the yeah. There you can see in the bottom of that, mona, if youre with us, were were looking a bulldozer here uh where israel has killed a palestinian after he attacked the checkpoint with the bulldozer near al khalil in the occupied, tell us about that if you can, Young Palestinian was driving buldozer, and was going life on social media in the midnight and after midnight in al khalil because there are a number of israeli checkpoints there and Israeli Forces stationing at the main roads and inside the uh the neighborhoods of al khalil so this Young Palestinian in his 20s uh was uh driving the buldozer and he was uh screaming and saying allahu akbar and that the the palestinians will not be afraid from the Israeli Forces, he was saying, i dont care if you kill me, i will kill you first, where are you covered this Israeli Soldiers, and then it was clearly heard in the background, Israeli Forces, shooting, the shooting continued until the it was declared that this Young Palestinian had been murtered
