For the humanitarian relief to reach gaza into 115 Palestinian Civilians uh with some 700 palestinian injuries, most of them will die and will uh secump to the once they sustained as the israeli incubation forces deliberately attack them in the upper parts of their bodies uh however in the zaittoon never neighborhood the israeli incubation forces intensify their attacks at least 30 palestinian dead bodies were pulled out of the robel of the destroyed house.

In addition to that, they said that the israel incubation forces and the israel incubation will be the same price uh of any political swab that would be reached uh uh regarding the the prisoners swab between the Palestinian Resistance and the israelicuvation forces for you in london you were listening to the updates uh from the ground by a correspondent in in central gaza please give us your perspective on how this genocidal massacre is unfolding as were approaching 150 days of the israeli onslot on gaz and also uh if you may with the part which is the most uh alarming part here is uh the continued complicity of the unit the likes of the United States in the death of every innocent man, woman and child in gaza. Thank you very much. It is a tragedy for which our hearts continue to bleed. Every scene that we see every day is just heartbreaking, because the way innocent people, innocent lives are lost, the the way with which the israelis are attacking mercilessly those people, people cuewing eat food, to have food because they are starving, suddenly they find themselves targeted by israeli bullets, bullets, and many of them are shot dead, hundreds of them yesterday, now these scenes are usually kept away from public view in the west, we see little bit of news on the mainstream channels like the bbc and others, we see very little, we see some views, some scenes, but they are limited and for a short while short period, they do not show the real action, the real thing that is going on, the mass killing, the obliteration the palestinian identity, the Palestinian People, this is really complicity at worst scale, complicity not only by the United States, but by the west generally, but even by some most arab countries which are ignoring the plight of the palestinians, some countries like bahrain, like uae have relationship. Normal relationships with tel aviv without even considering uh to severe these relationships th these links with with the occupiers of palestine despite the fact that the palestinians are undergoing slaughter on daily basis, so it is one of the most horrific tragic places in the world today and something that. Havent seen in in decades, even in wars, in all out wars, we do not see such carnage, such bombing, bombing of huge blocks of lass. Towers residential towers and then all the people inside these, including children and women, completely are obliterated, are incarcerated. I think we are seeing one of the worst human disasters in modern times and this time it is happening with the complicity of most governments. All right, thank you, were going to have to leave it there. Communist and political analyst said shahabi joining us from the british capital. And also thanks to our correspondent joining us earlier uh from deara and central gaza. With that it brings us to an end here on this edition of press tvs uh news review, but stick around theres plenty more to come here on press tv. Since israel launched its genocidal war on gaza early october, it has spared no one and no place, including homes, hospitals, schools and mosks. In an act of defiance and resistant, palestinians in the Southern City of rapa have been holding friday prayers over the ruins of uh one such mosk called alfaruk. Lets take a listen to what some of them are to say. This is an ideological war that affects many mosks and hospitals. Why destroying bomb . Houses of god, what is the fault of the children who are orpened in the face of this destruction and organized terrorism, covered by official International Endorsement from states and from the west, these masks refuse to be silenced, and the call to prayer will continue to resound, growing louder. Despite this occupier and their arrogance, we must uphold gods rituals and continue to hold friday prayers in this place. Our message to the entire islamic nation is to look at the. Condition of muslims and the state of the mosks in the gaza strip. The occupation may have destroyed nearly 500 mosks or more. Now, out of 1,250 mosques in the gaza strip, almost half have been destroyed by the occupation. Our message to the islamic and arab nations is that they must include these mosques in their future plans so that we can rebuild the houses of god and hold prayers, friday prayers and congregational prayers in them and tease the enemies to establish masks again. We pray in this place because i opened my eyes to this mosk since i was young. At the age of six i used to pray in this mosk with residents at this area. The mosk is not even 200 meters from my house and we have prayed in it all our lives even when it was bombed. It is not enough for them to destroy the moral of the Palestinian People, demolish homes, kill people and wipe out entire families. But this is not just. The goal of the Israeli Aggression on masks, rather, the goal is to prevent desperad religion and islamic reverness among the people. Intense battles are also continuing on the ground with the in gaza, that is with Palestinian Resistance fighters, repelling attacks by Israeli Forces, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad has released a new video showing its fighters clashing with Israeli Soldiers an around al zeitu neighborhood in gaza city, alts brigades also launched mortar shells a gathering of the. Soldiers in northern gaza and near the etas crossing, also in the north, the mujahidin brigades hit a merkava tank with missiles, the resistance groups also said they shot down an israeli drone in the southeastern part of the gaza strip. Tel aviv says a total of 242 Israeli Soldiers have been killed since the Ground Fighting began in gaza and later october, Palestinian Resistance groups, however say that israel is concealing the actual number which is much higher. Thats the rap for now, but stick around, theres plenty more to come here on press dvc in a bit. Crisis devastating war. Wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, iranians disappoint the ill wishes. The economy and israel was very bad before the events of october the 7th, i dont see a way back, i think their economy is destroyed beyond recognition, i think the main problem in the battlefield will be military. I believe that working together. We can make a street. The most recent report was a shocking one, the steep declinea Economic Activity in israel, a gdp drop of around 20 , double the estimates that israels central bank had announced, the headaches for israel are multiple since costs are accumulating rapidly, while income generation is not keeping up with the cost. How bad a gdp drop is, is the topic of this edition of economic divide. Some of the headlines well be looking at, first of all, this drop in gdp for israel, it shrunk by fifth, precisely 19. 4 . Double the prediction, does that mean that there empty coffers . Something well be taking a look at. Next, uh, of course, with the gdp
