[00:05:36] and its institutions on the one hand, and United Nations institutions,
[00:05:40] especially UNDP, on the other hand. In order
[00:05:43] to provide more for our people in the Gaza Strip, thank you, and we
[00:05:47] naturally look forward to this virtual visit and to
[00:05:51] reviewing a set of activities

[00:05:59] better services for our people in the beloved Gaza

[00:06:42] Today, more than 40 tractors are working throughout
[00:06:45] Gaza every day. These teams collect more than
[00:06:50] waste from neighborhoods and displacement centers
[00:06:54] and narrow streets. For the families living there, it
[00:06:57] is not just a waste collection service; it means that waste

[00:07:27] Dr. Mohamed Mustafa, especially
[00:07:31] those that promote serving the people. The tour
[00:07:34] extended to include projects supporting municipalities, economic
[00:07:36] recovery, and the technology sector, where initiatives
[00:07:40] to provide workspaces
[00:07:43] for startups and create temporary job opportunities

[00:08:29] session. This entitlement comes within the framework
[00:08:32] of the recovery of the educational process, and our success in holding
[00:08:35] this session will lay the foundation for the next stage by holding
[00:08:39] the next session, the next exam in 2027. The number
[00:08:42] of students is estimated at 40,000 students, which enables us to recover
[00:08:46] and rehabilitate the educational system, God willing. In fact,

[00:09:51] Abbas, the Minister of Interior, Ziyad Hab Al-Rih, awarded the commander
[00:09:55] of the Canadian Support Team, Brigadier General Jason Langlais, the Medal
[00:09:58] of Excellent Service in appreciation of his outstanding
[00:10:01] contributions to strengthening bilateral cooperation and supporting
[00:10:05] efforts to develop and build the capacities of the Palestinian

[00:10:11] Langlais at the Ministry of Interior,
[00:10:14] on the occasion of the end of his mission in the State of
[00:10:17] Palestine. Minister Hab Al-Rih stressed the depth
[00:10:21] of relations between the State of Palestine and Canada, praising
[00:10:25] the support provided by the Canadian government to our Palestinian
[00:10:28] people, and commending the role played by the Canadian
[00:10:32] Support Team in assisting the Ministry of Interior
[00:10:35] and the security sector. For his part, Brigadier General
[00:10:38] Langlais expressed his appreciation for being awarded the Medal of
[00:10:41] Excellent Service, emphasizing his pride in the partnership
[00:10:45] and cooperation between the Canadian Support Team
[00:10:47] and the Ministry of Interior and the institutions
[00:10:51] of the Palestinian security sector, praising the cooperation he received
[00:10:55] throughout his
[00:10:56] tenure.
[00:11:03] The ministerial meeting to support Jerusalem and its holy
[00:11:07] sites, held in the capital Amman at the invitation of the Hashemite
[00:11:10] Kingdom of Jordan, confirmed in its final statement
[00:11:14] its condemnation of the Israeli policies and measures
[00:11:16] targeting the occupied city of Jerusalem. It announced
[00:11:19] the launch of a joint movement to confront
[00:11:23] these measures and mobilize international support
[00:11:26] to stop them.
[00:11:31] The ministerial meeting to support Jerusalem and its holy sites, which
[00:11:34] was held in the capital Amman at the invitation of the Hashemite
[00:11:38] Kingdom of Jordan, issued a final statement in which it affirmed
[00:11:41] its condemnation of the Israeli policies and measures targeting the occupied
[00:11:44] city of Jerusalem. It announced the launch of a joint movement to confront Israeli
[00:11:48] measures, which it described as illegal, and to mobilize
[00:11:51] international support to stop them.
[00:11:55] Jerusalem is not a product of the absence of international law, but rather
[00:11:58] the absence of accountability and punishment for a state
[00:12:01] that violates international law and continues to do
[00:12:05] so due to the absence of any price
[00:12:08] it pays for its violations.
[00:12:11] For seven decades, the occupation state has been employing
[00:12:14] the same colonial policies in occupied Jerusalem.
[00:12:18] The question today is no longer whether the occupation
[00:12:21] state violates international law, but rather whether
[00:12:25] the world is ready to fulfill its legal,
[00:12:28] political, and ethical obligations in confronting
[00:12:31] these violations.
[00:12:34] The statement affirmed its condemnation of Israeli policies and measures
[00:12:37] aimed at changing the Arab, Islamic, and Christian identity
[00:12:40] of occupied Jerusalem and its legal
[00:12:44] and demographic status, and rejected these measures, considering
[00:12:48] them null and void and without
[00:12:51] legal effect, and a violation of international law
[00:12:53] and Israel's obligations as the occupying
[00:12:57] power. Israel violates the sanctity of Islamic
[00:13:00] and Christian holy sites and restricts the freedom
[00:13:03] of worship for Muslims and Christians.
[00:13:07] Christian clergy suffer from the barbarity
[00:13:10] of extremism, and churches resist
[00:13:13] attempts to seize their property and lands through
[00:13:17] illegal laws enacted by Israel
[00:13:20] in violation of international law, which stipulates
[00:13:24] unequivocally that an occupier has
[00:13:27] no right to occupied land. The attendees stressed
[00:13:30] that East Jerusalem is part of the occupied Palestinian
[00:13:34] territories and Israel has no sovereignty over it,
[00:13:38] and that it is the capital of the Palestinian State,
[00:13:42] custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem
[00:13:45] and rejecting any unilateral decision that violates
[00:13:49] the legal status of the city. Today, there
[00:13:52] is an urgent need for a comprehensive program to support Jerusalemites
[00:13:56] and support their steadfastness against the occupation's plans to strip the city of its
[00:14:00] Arab, Islamic, and Christian identity
[00:14:03] and completely Judize it. These Jerusalemites
[00:14:07] need real support and effective practical
[00:14:10] action. UNRWA's offices in the city have been closed,
[00:14:14] and Palestinians face multiple crises with
[00:14:18] education and health services, house demolitions, and restrictions
[00:14:21] on housing. There is an urgent need for development
[00:14:24] projects that enhance Palestinian steadfastness on the ground,
[00:14:27] ensure the presence of Palestinians in their homes, and thwart
[00:14:31] plans to empty the city of them. The meeting announced
[00:14:34] the launch of a joint movement to mobilize effective international
[00:14:37] action to stop Israeli practices, measures, and policies.
[00:14:41] It also announced the launch of a sustainable institutional
[00:14:44] working mechanism that includes an media platform to document
[00:14:47] Israeli violations against holy sites and worshipers,
[00:14:50] and expose their repercussions to international organizations
[00:14:54] and global public opinion, and to provide the necessary
[00:14:57] support for this mechanism. The first steps of joint
[00:15:01] Arab and Islamic action resulting from today's meeting will be a joint
[00:15:04] Arab ministerial meeting of all Arab countries
[00:15:08] and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation during the high-level
[00:15:12] week of the United Nations General Assembly next
[00:15:15] September in New York.
[00:15:18] Amman, Nadin Al-Shaer, Palestine
[00:15:21] TV. The President of the Arab
[00:15:25] Parliament, Mohamed Al-Yimahi, condemned the crimes that the occupation
[00:15:28] continues to commit in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including
[00:15:32] the city of Jerusalem, demanding urgent international
[00:15:36] action to stop the escalation and hold those responsible
[00:15:39] accountable. Al-Yimahi said in a statement that the targeting
[00:15:43] of hospitals, health facilities, residential homes,
[00:15:46] and displaced people's tents, which resulted in the martyrdom
[00:15:49] and injury of dozens of civilians,
[00:15:53] women and children, comes within the framework of the ongoing
[00:15:56] war of genocide and the policy of starvation and comprehensive
[00:15:59] destruction pursued by the occupation in violation
[00:16:02] of international law and international humanitarian
[00:16:05] law, the Geneva Conventions, and United
[00:16:08] Nations resolutions.
[00:16:17] The Israeli Ir Amim Association revealed a new
[00:16:21] settlement plan to build 2300 settlement
[00:16:25] units in what is called the Gilo settlement,
[00:16:28] which is built on citizens' lands south of occupied
[00:16:32] Jerusalem, warning that the project will deepen Jerusalem's
[00:16:35] isolation from the southern West Bank. The association
[00:16:39] clarified that the Planning and Building Committee of the
[00:16:42] occupation municipality in Jerusalem approved the plan on July
[00:16:46] 28th, and it includes the construction of 2300
[00:16:49] settlement units with the expansion of the settlement
[00:16:52] southward towards Street 60, which connects
[00:16:55] Jerusalem and Bethlehem. It added that the plan
[00:16:59] includes private Palestinian lands, including at
[00:17:03] least 28 dunams that were seized under
[00:17:07] what is called the Absentee Property Law, which the occupation
[00:17:11] authorities use to seize the property of Palestinians.
[00:17:14] It pointed out that the targeted area
[00:17:18] includes agricultural lands and Palestinian olive
[00:17:21] groves, warning that they are
[00:17:25] at risk of bulldozing and uprooting when
[00:17:28] the project begins
[00:17:30] to be implemented.
[00:17:36] A number of residents , including children and women,
[00:17:40] were injured and homes were burned in an
[00:17:42] attack by settlers on Khirbet Al-Tuba in Masafer Yatta,
[00:17:46] south of Hebron. Our correspondent said that a group
[00:17:49] of settlers attacked Khirbet Al-Tuba in Masafer
[00:17:54] the residents and set fire to a number of citizens'
[00:17:58] homes, which led to a number of them
[00:18:02] being injured, including women and children, with
[00:18:05] suffocation. Three other citizens were also injured
[00:18:09] after settlers beat them in the village of Beit
[00:18:12] Furik, east of the city
[00:18:14] of Nablus.
[00:18:21] Israeli occupation forces demolished two houses and a commercial
[00:18:24] establishment in the town of Nahalin, southwest
[00:18:27] of Bethlehem. He stares with
[00:18:29] anguish at the rubble of his home, which the
[00:18:33] occupation demolished in the Wadi Al-Yasamin area in the south
[00:18:36] of Nahalin. A week after being forced to empty
[00:18:40] its contents, citizen Ahmed
[00:18:43] Mohamed Safi, a father of a family of five,
[00:18:47] became homeless after
[00:18:50] years of Israeli targeting him in his
[00:18:53] dream home. Thank God for everything. We
[00:18:57] praise God and thank him for reaching this stage.
[00:19:01] I can't express what I feel about
[00:19:04] all of this. The Jews have
[00:19:08] the Palestinian people, are a monster. This young man has been under
[00:19:11] immense pressure for almost four years, ever since he started
[00:19:15] building, and he kept getting
[00:19:19] When we evacuated the house and moved our belongings out of
[00:19:23] it, we had hope that when they saw we had demolished
[00:19:25] the house, they wouldn't come and demolish
[00:19:29] it. But the in the demolition. They don't
[00:19:33] care about the house. We can build 100 houses
[00:19:36] instead, but we will remain steadfast on our land. There
[00:19:40] is no hesitation, no emigration, no anything.
[00:19:43] A short distance away, in the Qarn Al-Dammas area,
[00:19:46] Muhammad Youssef Awad's house was also demolished by
[00:19:49] occupation machinery. Years of suffering and legal
[00:19:53] follow-up in the occupation courts, and the result
[00:19:57] was the demolition of the house and huge financial
[00:20:01] losses. After two years of battles
[00:20:03] and lawsuits, they informed us that the file was completely
[00:20:07] rejected. This means that the license
[00:20:10] was rejected, and thus
[00:20:13] the house is under the control of the occupation. Their decision
[00:20:17] was made about a month ago. They
[00:20:20] used to come to the area and visit it daily,
[00:20:24] the house, evacuate the house. And finally, today at seven o'clock, we were surprised
[00:20:27] that the bulldozers were in two places, demolishing
[00:20:31] simultaneously. And the matter did not stop there.
[00:20:34] Even economic establishments are targeted for
[00:20:37] demolition and closure,
[00:20:40] reflecting the extent of the targeting of citizens'
[00:20:44] livelihoods, and all of this is to empty the
[00:20:47] vicinity of the town of homes, economic,
[00:20:51] and agricultural establishments. Their goal is to empty
[00:20:55] this town in order to expand their settlements
[00:20:58] and achieve their strategic settlement goals. On this
[00:21:02] basis, we are not surprised by the continuation and systematic
[00:21:06] nature of this attack. They mention that they have
[00:21:08] been working on this plan since 2022, and they
[00:21:12] have started implementing it these days. There are hundreds of houses that have received
[00:21:16] notices and are in court,
[00:21:19] and the courts are rejecting them. The fear is that
[00:21:23] every day there will be six houses demolished
[00:21:26] by the occupation in less than two weeks, in addition
[00:21:29] to a large economic establishment. The occupation
[00:21:32] forced the owners
[00:21:36] houses to evacuate them in preparation for their demolition
[00:21:40] in the coming days. The occupation continues its policy of demolition,
[00:21:43] destruction, and vandalism of citizens' homes and property
[00:21:47] in order to displace and uproot them, to serve
[00:21:50] its settlement plans to establish settlement
[00:21:54] projects on what remains of the town's
[00:21:56] land. Hani Funun, Palestine TV,
[00:21:59] Nahalin, southwest of Bethlehem. In the village
[00:22:03] of Al-Minya, southeast of Bethlehem, occupation
[00:22:06] forces demolished a house after they stormed
[00:22:10] the village and stationed themselves in the Khila'i
[00:22:13] area to its east. Our correspondent
[00:22:15] added that the occupation forces forced
[00:22:18] a citizen to evacuate his one-story house,
[00:22:22] which has an area of about 150 square meters, before
[00:22:25] they began demolishing
[00:22:31] it. Occupation forces stormed the Solomon's
[00:22:34] Pools tourist area, located between Al-Khader town
[00:22:37] and Artas village, south of Bethlehem, and closed
[00:22:41] the main road leading to Artas village and the Convention
[00:22:45] Palace. Our correspondent reported that the occupation forces
[00:22:49] and settlers escalated their attacks on the Solomon's
[00:22:53] Pools area, which include and preventing citizens
[00:22:57] from reaching it.
[00:23:03] Occupation forces carried out land leveling operations
[00:23:07] and uprooted olive trees in the towns
[00:23:10] of Ijja and Jaba' south of Jenin.
[00:23:14] Settlement activity is escalating in Jenin Governorate,
[00:23:17] and the occupation authorities are providing all support and protection for
[00:23:21] it at the expense of citizens' security
[00:23:25] and property. From distributing demolition notices and stop-work
[00:23:28] orders for commercial establishments and homes near the town of Jaba'
[00:23:32] to bulldozing agricultural lands and uprooting olive
[00:23:36] trees from the lands of Ijja town, south of Jenin, under false
[00:23:40] pretenses and even without prior
[00:23:44] warning. This morning at 9:00 AM, we were surprised
[00:23:47] by occupation forces with huge bulldozers.
[00:23:52] The olives in the lands of
[00:23:55] Ijja. The lands are located between
[00:23:59] Ijja and Jaba'.
[00:24:01] The Jews dug to a depth of 50-60 meters
[00:24:05] and all the olives were uprooted, and the
[00:24:08] operation was carried out without prior warning
[00:24:11] or coordination with the landowners. Since the beginning
[00:24:15] of this year, the occupation has been targeting this
[00:24:18] area south of Jenin, which is a vital area with its economic
[00:24:22] activity, large population centers, and fertile
[00:24:25] agricultural lands. It has planted two settlements,
[00:24:29] Trasele and Homesh, in its heart and began
[00:24:32] to tighten the noose on citizens and devour fertile
[00:24:35] agricultural lands for racist settlement
[00:24:38] expansion. We, in Ijja Municipality, are working to assess
[00:24:42] the damages and follow up with the landowners
[00:24:45] and olive growers on the number of trees and the
[00:24:48] areas where trees were
[00:24:50] uprooted. We are compiling the losses. It is worth
[00:24:54] noting that the olive harvest season begins in two
[00:24:57] months. This is a great loss for farmers because
[00:25:00] the number of trees uprooted exceeds 200-250
[00:25:04] olive trees and more. With the continued settlement
[00:25:07] expansion in Jenin, the occupation continues its aggression against
[00:25:11] it, targeting, in addition to the camp and the city, its
[00:25:14] villages and towns with daily incursions, raids on citizens'
[00:25:18] homes, and arrest campaigns, the latest of which were in the towns
[00:25:21] of Sila al-Harithiya and Kafr Dan, west of Jenin,
[00:25:24] and the villages of Jalqamus and Arraba, east
[00:25:27] of the governorate. Mahmoud Smouli, Palestine
[00:25:30] TV, Jenin. In addition, the occupation
[00:25:33] forces notified the demolition of two facilities near
[00:25:37] Jaba' town, south of Jenin, where they delivered
[00:25:40] a demolition notice for the contracting company headquarters
[00:25:44] belonging to the Azzam family, which is estimated to be
[00:25:47] about five dunams, and gave a one-week
[00:25:51] deadline to submit an objection to the decision. In the same
[00:25:54] context, occupation forces delivered a notice to a citizen
[00:25:58] from Sileh Al-Dhahr town targeting a industrial
[00:26:01] facility belonging to him, which includes a two-story
[00:26:05] building with an area of approximately 300 square
[00:26:08] meters, in addition to another
[00:26:11] building with an area of 120 square
[00:26:15] meters, and ordered him
[00:26:16] to evacuate the industrial
[00:26:23] equipment located in it within seven
[00:26:26] days in preparation for demolition. Settlers seized hundreds
[00:26:29] of dunams of land in Hamamat Al-Maleh in the
[00:26:33] northern Jordan Valley, owned by the Latin Patriarchate,
[00:26:36] according to the head of the Al-Maleh Village Council, Mahdi Daraghmeh.
[00:26:40] Over the past three
[00:26:44] seized tens of thousands of dunams of agricultural
[00:26:48] and pastoral lands
[00:26:48] in the northern Jordan
[00:26:55] Valley after fencing them off and closing them to citizens. Demolition operations of citizens'
[00:26:58] homes and facilities in Jerusalem and the West Bank
[00:27:02] are escalating, coinciding with settlement expansion and broader Israeli
[00:27:08] control over the land and impose new facts on the ground.
[00:27:11] Demolition operations of
[00:27:14] in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem have become
[00:27:17] a systematic policy that fuels the occupation's
[00:27:21] political projects to implement broader
[00:27:23] displacement of citizens and seizure of their
[00:27:27] lands and settlement expansion, leading
[00:27:31] to actual annexation of the West Bank.
[00:27:34] Demolition operations are no longer limited to executing
[00:27:38] orders under the pretext of building without a license,
[00:27:42] but have become a tool for engineering a new
[00:27:44] geographical and demographic reality. Demolitions
[00:27:48] now affect citizens' properties in Areas A and B,
[00:27:53] and facilities in the first half of this year,
[00:27:56] in addition to 878
[00:27:59] in Area C, which is under full Israeli
[00:28:03] control, where obtaining building permits is
[00:28:06] it is almost impossible,
[00:28:11] Jerusalem and the surrounding Bedouin communities,
[00:28:13] and Hebron in Masafer Yatta
[00:28:16] and west of the city. The number that has been reached by the
[00:28:19] end of July is about
[00:28:23] 900 facilities that have been demolished. This number
[00:28:26] has not been reached in its entirety
[00:28:30] previous years. Therefore, there is a daily acceleration.
[00:28:33] There are demolitions of five to ten facilities. This is met with
[00:28:37] settlement construction operations, approval of
[00:28:39] structural plans and settlement units, an increase
[00:28:43] in confiscation operations, and the effects of demolition do not stop
[00:28:47] at removing buildings and their owners losing their homes and sources
[00:28:50] of livelihood, but extend
[00:28:56] or restricting access to it and rebuilding
[00:28:59] on it, which limits urban
[00:29:02] expansion and reinforces the occupation's control,
[00:29:05] especially in Area C, which constitutes
[00:29:09] 60% of the West Bank's area. According to
[00:29:13] specialists, these measures are paving the way for expanding settlements
[00:29:16] and building bypass roads and new
[00:29:20] settlement outposts that are built
[00:29:23] without permits, while some homes are demolished
[00:29:26] under the pretext of lacking permits, while United Nations figures
[00:29:29] indicate the displacement of nearly
[00:29:33] camps and villages after their
[00:29:36] homes were demolished. All these
[00:29:38] measures are being
[00:29:40] carried out in parallel
[00:29:44] to achieve the ultimate
[00:29:49] land
[00:29:52] inhabitants
[00:29:53] and besieging
[00:29:56] Palestinian urban presence within
[00:30:00] cities and villages.
[00:30:04] Along with the escalation of demolitions, there are accelerating
[00:30:07] Israeli steps, most notably the continuation of
[00:30:10] settling and registering West Bank lands and the approval of the
[00:30:13] Finance Committee in the Israeli Knesset to
[00:30:16] allocate hundreds of shekels to support settlements
[00:30:19] at a time when the occupation's finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich,
[00:30:23] had described the year 2025
[00:30:27] as the year of imposing sovereignty in what
[00:30:29] he called Judea and Samaria,
[00:30:33] according to his expression.
[00:30:36] The loss from home demolitions goes beyond losing shelter and walls
[00:30:40] to affecting Palestinian existence and land. With the occupation continuing
[00:30:43] these policies, the facts that are paving the way
[00:30:48] the ground are accelerating. Hadeel Shawamreh, Palestine TV, Ramallah.
[00:30:52] In the lands of 1948,
[00:30:55] Israeli bulldozers demolished at dawn yesterday
[00:30:59] the house of citizen Munir Bakri in the village of Al-Ba'neh
[00:31:03] in the Galilee region, amidst a widespread security
[00:31:06] deployment that accompanied the demolition operation.
[00:31:10] Large forces of the Israeli police,
[00:31:13] with the participation of army personnel and special units,
[00:31:17] stormed the town at dawn and besieged the house, preventing
[00:31:21] residents from reaching the area. They
[00:31:25] also forced the family members to evacuate the house in preparation
[00:31:29] for its demolition. During
[00:31:32] residents to confront the demolition operation, the Israeli
[00:31:36] the protesters and arrested
[00:31:38] two people.
[00:31:45] The female prisoners in Damon prison face a bitter
[00:31:47] reality under difficult detention conditions, accompanied
[00:31:51] by a lack of basic needs and repeated
[00:31:54] searches and repressive measures that
[00:31:58] increase their daily suffering, according to what
[00:32:01] was reported by the Commission of Prisoners'
[00:32:05] Affairs and Ex-Prisoners. The commission affirmed that the female prisoners in
[00:32:08] Damon prison suffer from difficult humanitarian
[00:32:11] conditions due to a lack of food, clothing,
[00:32:15] and essential feminine needs, in addition to
[00:32:19] continuous repression and searching of the prisoners' rooms without
[00:32:22] justification, and taking them out to the courtyards
[00:32:25] during hours of extreme heat, and what accompanies
[00:32:29] that of insults and humiliation.
[00:32:43] A citizen was martyred and 12 others were injured
[00:32:47] as a result of an Israeli raid that targeted the roof of a mosque
[00:32:50] in the Bint Jbeil district, southern Lebanon.
[00:32:52] This coincided with the continuation of Lebanese-Israeli
[00:32:56] negotiations in the Italian capital, Rome, for the third
[00:33:00] day.
[00:33:04] Between violent bombings and negotiation sessions, Lebanon
[00:33:08] is experiencing a complex political
[00:33:10] and field stage. After the seventh round of the Lebanese
[00:33:14] direct negotiation track, sponsored
[00:33:17] by the US, which will last for days
[00:33:21] capital, Rome, Lebanese official
[00:33:25] parties confirmed that the basic demands
[00:33:29] during this round are to achieve
[00:33:32] the areas located within what the occupation calls the Yellow Line,
[00:33:36] and at the forefront of them are the cities of Bint
[00:33:40] Jbeil and Khiam, in addition to Zawtar
[00:33:42] Al-Sharqiya. The Lebanese delegation also seeks
[00:33:46] to impose a comprehensive ceasefire and stop the systematic
[00:33:51] violations that the occupation continues to carry out
[00:33:54] since the signing of the framework of last
[00:33:58] June.
[00:34:01] In this context, the occupation forces carried out dozens of violations
[00:34:04] during the past 24 hours, the most prominent of which
[00:34:08] were combing operations with heavy machine guns in several
[00:34:12] southern areas, including Khiam, Mansouri, Majd Zoun,
[00:34:15] Hadatha, Haris. In addition to that,
[00:34:19] many southern villages and towns witnessed
[00:34:22] the movement of military and armored vehicles,
[00:34:25] especially between Wadi Salouqi and the town of Houla,
[00:34:28] and from the town of Hadatha towards the outskirts
[00:34:31] of the town of Ayta Al-Jabal. These movements were preceded by intense
[00:34:35] artillery shelling that targeted the neighboring villages
[00:34:38] and towns, where Zawtar Al-Sharqiya was subjected
[00:34:41] to artillery shelling and drone attacks that also targeted
[00:34:45] the Hay Al-Ruways area on the outskirts of the town of Nabatieh
[00:34:48] Al-Fouqa. In the same context, Kafr Rumman, Hadatha, Majd
[00:34:52] Zoun, and Mansouri were subjected to massive bombing and destruction
[00:34:55] operations, while the south is witnessing intensive overflights by warplanes
[00:34:59] and drones. Bilal Al-Hijazi, Palestine
[00:35:03] TV. US President Donald
[00:35:07] Trump said that Washington is holding very
[00:35:10] good talks with Iran, expressing
[00:35:13] his hope that they will not deliver a strong blow to
[00:35:16] Iran. Trump said that the Strait of Hormuz
[00:35:20] will open soon, otherwise Iran will suffer
[00:35:23] a strong blow, stressing that Iran will never
[00:35:27] obtain nuclear weapons.
[00:35:39] For its part, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

[00:35:46] coordinates of the shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz after studying
[00:35:50] its technical, legal, security,
[00:35:53] and environmental dimensions. It indicated
