[00:03:38] of the educational process in [00:03:39] of their daily lives, this. We apologize for Reporters stated that settlers stormed the outskirts [00:03:42] of the village and raided an agricultural room, tampering [00:03:45] with its contents. [00:03:51] Settlers uprooted and broke dozens of olive [00:03:54] trees in the town of Ni'lin, [00:03:57] on their school desks in west of Ramallah. Reporters stated [00:03:57] daily lives are escalating, that settlers raided the al-Khalal area [00:04:00] of worship to attacking west of the town and began cutting down and breaking [00:04:04] dozens of olive [00:04:05] trees. [00:04:10] In a scene that reflects the extent of the losses incurred [00:04:14] and erected an iron gate in by the agricultural sector, the latest [00:04:16] data from the Ministry of Agriculture revealed the destruction of about 5,000 [00:04:21] they face. olive trees since of citizens and students in the beginning of this year in [00:04:23] Salfit governorate, which exacerbates the losses incurred [00:04:27] by farmers. [00:04:30] The latest data from the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture [00:04:32] revealed shocking figures [00:04:36] that reflect the magnitude of the environmental and economic catastrophe [00:04:40] and they are dozens that has befallen Salfit Governorate [00:04:43] by eliminating the existence of about 5,000 olive trees [00:04:47] since the beginning [00:04:50] if there is a danger to of this year, through uprooting, burning, [00:04:56] and all this incitement to impose more and systematic destruction. Of course, this year Salfit [00:04:58] educational process in and all this tension lost more than 5,000 [00:04:58] quo in Jerusalem olive trees, most of which were ancient and Roman trees [00:05:02] in several areas, especially in the city of Salfit itself, and how [00:05:05] Al-Haris, Marda, Deir Istiya, Yasuf, [00:05:09] and many others, even in some other [00:05:11] coordinator of the Popular Committees in villages, there are also some experiences, but these areas [00:05:14] were concentrated in these towns, and this [00:05:17] is considered a great loss, whether for farmers [00:05:21] or for the Palestinian economy, because this [00:05:24] is a large quantity of olive oil [00:05:27] that the homeland will miss, in addition to [00:05:31] the lands that are prevented from being accessed, whether behind the [00:05:36] wall, near the settlement [00:05:39] bypass roads. This escalating [00:05:42] attack comes within the framework of [00:05:46] plans to seize lands and expand roads [00:05:49] and settlement outposts at the expense of citizens' [00:05:52] lands, as farmers daily face the closure [00:05:55] of agricultural roads and prevention from accessing [00:05:59] their lands, which makes olive [00:06:02] trees susceptible to drought [00:06:05] and uprooting. Salfit Governorate is one of the governorates [00:06:09] where more than 5,000 olive trees were uprooted [00:06:12] this year, and the rest of the [00:06:16] governorates had more than 6,000 [00:06:19] olive trees because [00:06:22] they know very well what this [00:06:25] tree represents for our people, in addition to [00:06:28] its economic, political, and religious [00:06:31] importance. It is a symbol and political importance that means the rooting [00:06:35] of our people in their land, but [00:06:39] the ministry and our partners work to [00:06:43] enhance the resilience of our farmers. These figures were not [00:06:47] just fleeting statistics in the records [00:06:49] of damages, but represented a targeting [00:06:53] with historical and geographical dimensions, [00:06:57] as the uprooting and destruction operations were concentrated in vital [00:07:00] areas such as Deir Ballut, Haris, [00:07:03] Deir Istiya, Marda, and Salfit. The attacks [00:07:07] directly targeted what are known [00:07:10] as ancient trees, falling along with [00:07:15] memory and fieldwork [00:07:18] carried out by the Palestinian [00:07:23] large number of trees has serious repercussions [00:07:27] on the future of the agricultural sector and the connection [00:07:30] of farmers to their lands. From the city [00:07:34] of Salfit, Mohammed Al-Shatiyya, Palestine TV. [00:07:36] To the south of the city of Nablus, [00:07:40] extremist settlers attacked [00:07:43] citizens' vehicles in the vicinity of Mount Sbeih in the town [00:07:46] of Beita. Reporters confirmed [00:07:49] that a group of settlers assaulted [00:07:53] citizens' vehicles in the vicinity of Mount Sbeih, [00:07:57] causing extensive material damage. [00:07:59] جسيمه [00:08:04] Settlers set fire to a citizen's vehicle in [00:08:08] the Safa area of the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city [00:08:11] of Hebron. Reporters reported that the fire engulfed [00:08:15] the entire vehicle after settlers [00:08:18] set it on fire, while the incident did not result [00:08:22] in any injuries. Settlers also stormed [00:08:25] two houses in the same area, [00:08:29] and assaulted women and children and attempted to kidnap [00:08:32] a child before the residents confronted them. In [00:08:36] a related context, a citizen was injured as a result of settlers attacking [00:08:39] him in Masafer Yatta to the south. [00:08:48] The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned [00:08:52] the storming by the extremist Israeli Minister Itamar [00:08:55] Ben-Gvir and groups of extremist settlers [00:08:58] of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the occupation [00:09:01] police, considering it a flagrant [00:09:04] violation of the historical and legal status [00:09:07] quo in Al-Haram Al-Sharif, a desecration [00:09:10] of its sanctity, and an escalation. Condemnable and unacceptable [00:09:14] provocation. The official spokesperson for the Ministry, [00:09:17] Ambassador Fouad Majali, confirmed the Kingdom's absolute rejection [00:09:21] and strong condemnation of the continued unacceptable [00:09:25] incursions by Israeli ministers and officials [00:09:29] and extremist settlers, and their provocative [00:09:32] practices and the facilitation by the Israeli [00:09:36] occupation police of the continuous incursions into Al-Aqsa [00:09:39] Mosque. [00:09:47] The State of Qatar also condemned the storming by the extremist Itamar [00:09:50] Ben-Gvir and settlers of Al-Aqsa Mosque. [00:09:53] The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed [00:09:57] in a statement that Al-Aqsa Mosque represents [00:10:00] a purely Muslim place of worship, [00:10:04] and that all unilateral measures [00:10:07] aimed at changing the historical and legal status [00:10:11] and its holy sites are null [00:10:13] and void under the law or by virtue [00:10:17] of international [00:10:18] law. [00:10:22] The extremist Israeli National Security Minister [00:10:26] Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa [00:10:29] Mosque under the protection of Israeli occupation [00:10:31] forces. The Jerusalem Governorate reported [00:10:34] that Ben-Gvir stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque [00:10:38] under heavy security from the occupation [00:10:41] police, and performed [00:10:45] the eastern area of Al-Aqsa [00:10:54] morning, hundreds of settlers stormed the courtyards [00:10:59] occupied Jerusalem from the Bab al-Maghariba side [00:11:03] under heavy protection from the occupation police, coinciding [00:11:07] with what is called the Jewish Day of Atonement. [00:11:09] اليهوديي [00:11:12] Occupied Jerusalem is heading towards further escalation in [00:11:15] light of the continuous occupation measures that [00:11:19] have turned the city into a military barracks [00:11:22] coinciding with the storming of the mosque [00:11:25] and the renewal of restrictions on the movement [00:11:28] of Jerusalemites coinciding with what is called the Jewish [00:11:31] Day of Atonement, which continues until Monday [00:11:34] evening. This comes [00:11:37] amid the storming by the head of the occupation government, Benjamin [00:11:40] Netanyahu, accompanied by a number of his government ministers [00:11:44] and thousands of settlers, of the Western [00:11:47] Wall in a scene that reflects the escalating tension [00:11:51] around Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy city. [00:11:55] Meanwhile, hundreds of settlers stormed the courtyards [00:11:58] of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of occupation [00:12:02] forces and performed Talmudic rituals [00:12:05] and prayers during the storming, [00:12:08] including what is called the epic prostration. [00:12:12] In contrast, the Jerusalem Governorate confirmed [00:12:15] the launch of calls for mobilization and steadfastness in Al-Aqsa [00:12:19] Mosque to confront settler incursions [00:12:22] and thwart the occupation's plans, [00:12:26] warning of an escalation in the movements [00:12:29] of Jewish groups in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque [00:12:33] during the Jewish holiday season [00:12:36] as part of attempts to impose [00:12:40] the region. Outside the courtyards [00:12:43] of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the circle of violations expands [00:12:46] with the escalation of decisions to expel Jerusalemites [00:12:50] from it, while Palestinian circles warn that [00:12:54] the repercussions of these measures will extend [00:12:57] beyond the holiday season to impose [00:13:01] permanent facts and Judaize [00:13:04] it. While incursions and strict [00:13:08] Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Mosque remains at the heart [00:13:12] of the escalation scene amid fears that [00:13:15] the measures related to the holiday [00:13:18] season will turn into steps that transcend [00:13:21] the current circumstances and establish [00:13:24] a new reality inside the mosque and its surroundings. [00:13:27] In light of the continued calls [00:13:31] for travel and steadfastness, attention [00:13:34] is focused on what the developments in Jerusalem [00:13:37] will lead to in the coming [00:13:40] days. [00:13:44] The occupation authorities began closing streets, [00:13:47] roads, and Arab neighborhoods in occupied Jerusalem [00:13:50] to vehicle traffic under the pretext of what is called the Day of Atonement. [00:13:53] يسمى عيد الغفران. [00:13:57] closure causes a near-complete paralysis [00:14:00] of citizens' movement and disruption [00:14:04] while settlers are allowed to gather and [00:14:07] perform their religious rituals inside [00:14:10] and outside the Old City. A video clip [00:14:14] showed hundreds of citizens stranded inside [00:14:17] their vehicles at the Jaba checkpoint, north of occupied Jerusalem, [00:14:21] after occupation forces closed [00:14:25] the checkpoint since [00:14:43] of the alert level on all fronts with the arrival of the Day [00:14:46] of Atonement, while incitement against our people escalated [00:14:49] after the Nuvit Zuf operation, and calls increased to tighten [00:14:53] the siege on the West Bank [00:14:56] and strengthen the security [00:14:58] issue. [00:15:01] The occupation state is exploiting the shooting incident near [00:15:05] the settlement of Nuvit Zuf, northwest of Ramallah, [00:15:08] to escalate incitement and threats against our [00:15:12] people. The head of the occupation government, [00:15:15] Benjamin Netanyahu, promised [00:15:18] measures and military operations on the West [00:15:21] Bank at a time when he is pushing [00:15:29] for the implementation of the law to execute perpetrators of operations [00:15:33] for the first time since its approval. This rhetoric [00:15:37] reveals an Israeli attempt to exploit [00:15:40] the operation to justify expanding oppression and imposing [00:15:44] collective punishments. This political [00:15:47] and security escalation coincides with a state [00:15:50] of military alert that Israel is experiencing [00:15:53] with the arrival of the Day of Atonement, as the [00:15:56] army raised the alert level on all fronts after [00:16:00] preparations that lasted about a month and deliberations [00:16:04] in which security agencies and the police participated. The [00:16:09] the West Bank and Gaza Strip [00:16:12] and on the Lebanese and Syrian fronts, and deploying [00:16:16] additional companies to the three military [00:16:18] commands, in addition to raising the readiness of the air force [00:16:22] and enhancing the deployment of naval units and placing reserve [00:16:26] forces on standby to quickly deploy [00:16:28] to any front that witnesses field developments. [00:16:32] These movements reflect the extent [00:16:36] of Israeli fears of the possibility of a sudden [00:16:39] escalation during the holiday season and [00:16:42] a scenario that forces the army to deal with more than [00:16:46] one front at the same time. In the north, the occupation [00:16:50] army forces raised their readiness on the Lebanese [00:16:53] and Syrian fronts, and in the south, the Gaza [00:16:57] front remains within scenarios of resuming fighting, while [00:17:00] Israel continues to deal with the West Bank [00:17:03] as an open security arena, [00:17:06] reinforcing forces and tightening [00:17:09] restrictions. Israeli readiness calculations [00:17:12] extend to the possibility of renewed [00:17:15] confrontation with Iran, in light [00:17:18] of military levels confirming [00:17:21] that the forces are prepared to quickly transition from a state of ceasefire [00:17:25] to fighting defensively [00:17:27] and offensively, which places Israel during [00:17:31] the Day of Atonement [00:17:35] from the West Bank and Gaza to the northern fronts [00:17:38] and Iran. Salam Mashriqi, Palestine TV, [00:17:42] Tel Aviv. [00:17:45] We are joined from Nazareth via [00:17:48] Zoom by Samir Khatib, a specialist in Israeli [00:17:51] affairs. Welcome, Mr. Samir Khatib, and greetings [00:17:55] to you. Good evening to you and all [00:17:58] viewers. Welcome, Mr. Samir. [00:18:01] I mean, the language of escalation and incitement is an old but new [00:18:05] language, and Israel has never [00:18:09] such incitement, but what is new now [00:18:12] are calls for arming and deploying [00:18:15] more soldiers and the occupation army and unleashing them on settlers. How [00:18:18] do you read this scene, which [00:18:21] was announced by Israel [00:18:25] through several channels related [00:18:28] to settlers, Ben-Gvir, the occupation prime minister, and all these [00:18:38] of fateful elections, in my opinion, for the state of Israel, [00:18:41] and not only for Palestinians, but also [00:18:44] for the future of the state of Israel and for internal [00:18:48] relations and the contradictions [00:18:51] within Israel. Therefore, these [00:18:54] elections are very [00:18:57] crucial because they will determine everything [00:19:01] later. Netanyahu, it seems, so far the polls do [00:19:05] that he will win [00:19:08] the elections, and perhaps he is furthest from winning [00:19:11] by forming the largest party or that [00:19:14] his bloc will be able to form a government. [00:19:17] Therefore, he is trying to drag the internal [00:19:20] Israeli debate about the failures of October [00:19:24] 7th [00:19:26] and about [00:19:29] the revolution or about the judicial coup that he tried [00:19:33] to carry out before October 7th and about [00:19:39] reducing the democratic space in Israel and the debate between [00:19:42] the Haredim and the non-Haredim about conscription, he is trying [00:19:46] to push the entire debate towards a direct [00:19:49] security issue so that these [00:19:52] debates are not the focus of the elections. [00:19:55] He always escalates, he escalates before every election, but this [00:19:59] time it seems to me that he may actually [00:20:03] go into a major military operation or [00:20:06] enter into a war, especially if we link what is happening now [00:20:10] with the American-Iranian threats, [00:20:14] that he may enter into a war to distract the public first, [00:20:17] and he may perhaps be able, [00:20:21] if things escalate, to cancel [00:20:24] the elections [00:20:27] citizens during the elections. Therefore, [00:20:31] all this mobilization [00:20:35] that he is doing, and the hospitals [00:20:38] and the announcements that he is preparing [00:20:42] and the speeches and what [00:20:45] he is doing, he is preparing the public for such a possibility, [00:20:48] that he may have to cancel the elections [00:20:51] as long as the polls indicate [00:20:56] the elections and that [00:21:00] form a government later. Yes, and [00:21:03] Mr. Samir, do you think that Netanyahu is trying to exploit everything [00:21:06] that is happening for his personal benefit to convince Israelis, at [00:21:12] a strong security man and a military [00:21:15] man, and that [00:21:19] to confront the next stage, and thus exploit everything [00:21:22] that happens for his benefit in one way [00:21:25] or another? [00:21:27] Let's agree, and perhaps all analysts, [00:21:30] journalists, and observers agree [00:21:33] that Netanyahu is a very intelligent man, especially in electoral [00:21:37] and media matters. [00:21:40] Netanyahu knows that his opponents cannot [00:21:43] disagree with him except in some performance. They [00:21:49] on general policy [00:21:53] and on the Palestinian issue and on Israel's security [00:21:56] future. Therefore, he excels in this [00:22:00] matter and takes the matter further to the right [00:22:03] and to the security side because, as [00:22:06] we know, there has been a conflict since October [00:22:09] 7th until now that has not been resolved, and Netanyahu [00:22:13] naturally seeks to use all these issues to his advantage. Thank you for now, [00:22:17] Mr. Samir Khatib, [00:22:20] Israeli affairs, you were with us from Nazareth via [00:22:24] Zoom. We continue our [00:22:26] broadcast, where the occupation authorities in the heart of Hebron [00:22:30] continue to close the Ibrahimi Mosque to citizens [00:22:34] under the pretext of Jewish holidays, coinciding [00:22:37] with the escalation of settler attacks in Masafer [00:22:40] Yatta and in its east [00:22:42] as well. [00:22:44] In the heart of the city of Hebron, the occupation closes the Ibrahimi [00:22:48] Mosque to Palestinian citizens under the pretext of Jewish [00:22:51] holidays, where [00:22:55] from accessing the mosque and performing prayers in it. In [00:22:59] contrast, the way is opened for settlers to storm [00:23:02] it completely, desecrate its holy sites, and hold [00:23:06] loud parties that contradict its religious [00:23:10] sanctity. I mean, we are living a difficult reality [00:23:13] today, a painful reality with the closure of the Ibrahimi Mosque [00:23:17] to Muslims and worshipers. [00:23:20] In contrast, it is opened with all its arcades, courtyards, [00:23:23] and sections to the occupation [00:23:25] and to settlers and herds [00:23:29] of settlers. In the areas east of Yatta [00:23:31] and its Masafer, settler attacks continue [00:23:34] against citizens and their property, [00:23:38] where the area witnessed a new attack on one [00:23:41] of the citizens after settlers sprayed pepper spray [00:23:45] in his face, which led to [00:23:48] his face. This attack is repeated against citizens [00:23:52] and affects individuals, property, and sources [00:23:55] of livelihood under the protection of occupation forces, which [00:23:58] exacerbates the suffering of residents and pushes them to face [00:24:02] increasingly difficult security and living [00:24:05] conditions. The settlers [00:24:09] are constantly committing terrorism [00:24:12] because they are indeed groups and terrorist gangs [00:24:16] assigned to this work under the protection of the occupation army. [00:24:22] citizens in these areas, and all [00:24:25] areas of Hebron Governorate are targeted by a criminal [00:24:29] attack, but steadfastness, resilience, and citizenship are [00:24:33] the real response to everything the occupation is doing. Between [00:24:36] the closure of the Ibrahimi Mosque and the continuous attacks in [00:24:40] Masafer Yatta and other areas of the governorate, the [00:24:44] measures affecting citizens' [00:24:47] from restricting freedom residents [00:24:51] and their property, which puts the governorate's [00:24:55] residents in front of continuous violations in the absence [00:24:58] of any measures to prevent their recurrence, while citizens [00:25:01] continue to cling to their land, holy sites, and sources [00:25:05] of livelihood despite the harassment and attacks [00:25:11] From Hebron, Mahmoud Farash, Palestine [00:25:14] TV. [00:25:17] A number of citizens were injured by occupation fire, while several [00:25:21] areas in the Gaza Strip witnessed shelling and artillery [00:25:24] bombardment, in addition to extensive demolition operations. Reporters [00:25:28] reported that a young man was injured by an occupation [00:25:31] sniper's bullet in Mawasi Khan Yunis, while military [00:25:35] vehicles fired towards [00:25:37] the north of Beit Lahia, coinciding with [00:25:41] the firing of illumination flares in the town's airspace. In [00:25:44] Gaza City, warships opened fire towards [00:25:48] the city's coast, while tanks fired [00:25:52] heavily to its east. Fire [00:25:54] from helicopters was also recorded east and north [00:25:58] of the Strip. In the central Strip, the occupation [00:26:01] army carried out a demolition operation east of Al-Bureij refugee camp. As for [00:26:05] the southern Strip, our [00:26:09] fire in the vicinity of Al-Alam roundabout [00:26:12] south of Mawasi Rafah [00:26:14] city. [00:26:21] Al-Kuweit Specialized Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza [00:26:25] Strip, announced the cessation of operations in all its departments [00:26:29] as of today, with the exception of the emergency department, [00:26:32] due to the cessation of fuel supplies necessary to operate [00:26:35] the hospital. The health system in the Gaza Strip [00:26:39] is heading towards a complete collapse and rapid [00:26:42] paralysis amidst a general drug shortage of nearly 50% [00:26:46] and a shortage of medical consumables of 58%, [00:26:49] and a shortage of laboratory [00:26:53] testing materials of 85%, [00:26:56] which threatens to cause a near-complete halt to the most [00:27:00] important therapeutic and diagnostic vital [00:27:21] services. Returning to Hebron, we are joined from there by Mr. Rateb [00:27:24] Jbour, coordinator of the popular committees in the south. Welcome [00:27:27] to you, Mr. Rateb, and greetings to you. [00:27:30] Welcome, good evening [00:27:37] escalating, affecting everything and leaving [00:27:41] nothing untouched in Masafer Yatta and Hebron and the [00:27:44] south in general. How do you talk about this [00:27:47] settler aggression, which is based on clear [00:27:50] and explicit plans [00:27:52] by the occupation? [00:27:55] Yes, brother, this is, I mean, these actions [00:27:57] carried out by the pastoral settler gangs in all population [00:28:01] centers in the southern Hebron [00:28:04] region and the south in general aim primarily [00:28:08] at the process of control and [00:28:12] at controlling more of citizens' [00:28:15] lands in all population centers designated [00:28:19] as Area C and also Areas B [00:28:23] and A. Since the beginning of October [00:28:27] 7th until now, these pastoral settler gangs [00:28:30] have been controlling acres of citizens' lands [00:28:34] and preventing these [00:28:36] accessing those cultivated [00:28:39] lands that are owned [00:28:43] by Palestinian [00:28:45] citizens as private property and they [00:28:49] have documents and papers that [00:28:52] prove their ownership of that. However, [00:28:55] the occupation has indulged in this [00:28:59] policy, and consequently, it has begun to [00:29:07] accessing them and carrying out acts [00:29:11] of sabotage and destruction of citizens' property in those [00:29:14] areas. Controlling mountaintops and establishing [00:29:18] pastoral colonial outposts. Since the beginning of October [00:29:21] 7th until today, more than 27 [00:29:24] pastoral settlement outposts have been established in [00:29:28] these areas. Yatta, which [00:29:31] blocks those who travel. And here we have [00:29:34] the city of Yatta. Settlers' control over [00:29:39] the interruption. This aggression also affected the Ibrahimi Mosque [00:29:43] and the process of violation and preventing [00:29:45] worshipers from reaching it. That means comprehensive measures that prevent [00:29:49] access to prayer or even to homes or to the travelers of Yatta or [00:29:52] to, meaning, thefts of sheep pens, aggressions, poisoning, [00:29:56] of that. [00:29:59] Yes, brother, indeed, there are [00:30:02] the Jewish [00:30:05] holidays, according to the claims, every [00:30:08] period of time, and in all these holidays, [00:30:12] these settlers come to the courtyards of [00:30:15] the Noble Ibrahimi Mosque and then prevent [00:30:19] Palestinian citizens from reaching [00:30:22] this holy place. [00:30:25] And also the process of displacement [00:30:26] and division [00:30:29] of the spatial and temporal aspects of this. [00:30:33] And thus undermining the control of the [00:30:36] Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian Endowments over [00:30:39] this, meaning, the Noble Ibrahimi Mosque. [00:30:43] And therefore, these settlers are [00:30:47] taking control of many [00:30:50] properties of Palestinian citizens around [00:30:53] the mosque, of course, and in the Old City [00:30:56] and the Dabouya area and Suheli [00:30:59] Street, and also Martyrs' Street. And there are [00:31:03] more than 150 military checkpoints [00:31:06] located inside Hebron city. [00:31:09] Thank you very much, Mr. Rateb Al-Jabour, [00:31:13] the South. You were via Zoom technology. Thank you. [00:31:17] In Qalqilya, the occupation authorities notified dozens of [00:31:21] the governorate during the past few days of converting hundreds of dunams [00:31:25] into archaeological sites and preventing work there, in a step [00:31:28] that paves the way for seizing them. In [00:31:32] Qalqilya governorate, the occupation measures [00:31:37] ground are taking a new form [00:31:40] with the distribution of notices declaring vast [00:31:43] areas of citizens' lands as archaeological [00:31:47] sites, which imposes additional [00:31:50] restrictions on their use. This is [00:31:54] our Palestinian land, owned by our ancestors. [00:31:57] We were surprised by this decision, [00:32:00] and the reasons are many, and the goal [00:32:04] is one: they want to control our Palestinian land [00:32:06] and Judaize it. This is Palestinian land [00:32:09] owned by our ancestors, and we work [00:32:13] hard on it to harvest [00:32:17] olives and other things. And according to these [00:32:20] notices, the use of [00:32:24] lands within the declared site's boundaries [00:32:27] becomes subject to the approval of what is called the Antiquities [00:32:31] the Civil Administration affiliated [00:32:34] with the occupation, with the possibility of [00:32:37] issuing orders to stop work or [00:32:40] prevent the use [00:32:44] the issue. Because these are many Israeli [00:32:47] occupation decisions. Every period, they come up with a new name. [00:32:51] Sometimes state lands, sometimes state treasury, sometimes [00:32:54] endowment lands, sometimes archaeological lands. [00:32:57] And all these names, of course, all these names have [00:33:01] one result, which is the theft of Palestinian lands. These Palestinian [00:33:04] lands are owned by Jews. They have no historical or [00:33:08] religious impact in this area and this country, which is [00:33:11] Palestine. But by the force of occupation, they [00:33:15] create these names. [00:33:18] constitutes a reinforcement of imposing Israeli [00:33:21] administrative and planning [00:33:23] control over Palestinian lands [00:33:27] under the pretext of protecting archaeological [00:33:30] sites, which [00:33:35] lands and their use. [00:33:38] These measures deepen the occupation's [00:33:41] control over Palestinian land under [00:33:45] various pretexts, with the aim of [00:33:48] restricting farmers and pushing [00:33:51] them to leave it. From Qalqilya governorate, I am [00:33:55] Al-Jed'a, Palestine TV. [00:33:58] Occupation forces prevented [00:34:03] the Northern Jordan Valley due to the closure of two checkpoints, [00:34:06] Zeir and Ain Shebel. [00:34:09] More than 100 educational and administrative staff were prevented [00:34:13] by the occupation from reaching their schools in the Northern [00:34:16] Jordan Valley after intensifying measures at the military [00:34:19] checkpoints surrounding the Jordan Valley. [00:34:22] More than 100 male and female teachers and administrators from [00:34:26] Tubas city and its villages headed to the Northern [00:34:29] Jordan Valley, where they teach in six schools and a governmental [00:34:32] kindergarten. The occupation [00:34:35] means it closed the checkpoint, meaning the teachers [00:34:39] stayed until 9 AM and they were waiting from [00:34:43] 6:30 AM at the checkpoint. The occupation obstructed their safe arrival [00:34:47] to their schools, which led [00:34:50] to the disruption [00:34:53] the Northern Jordan Valley. And today, teachers [00:34:57] were prevented from reaching the schools [00:35:00] of the Jordan Valley, as all schools in the Jordan Valley were closed today [00:35:03] completely. Meaning, there are 110 [00:35:06] teachers who did not reach their schools, 1200 students did not sit [00:35:12] the entire Northern Jordan Valley. As of today, the repercussions [00:35:15] of these measures were not limited to teachers, [00:35:19] as dozens of students from the Al-Ras Al-Ahmar area were deprived of access [00:35:22] to their school in Atouf after occupation [00:35:25] forces dug a trench [00:35:29] the area, adding these obstacles to a series [00:35:32] of restrictions imposed on the movement [00:35:36] the governorate. We also have dozens of students who, for more [00:35:39] than a week, have been unable to reach Atouf school as a result [00:35:43] of digging a trench between Atouf town [00:35:46] and also the Al-Ras Al-Ahmar [00:35:50] area where these students live, [00:35:55] of students who cannot reach the school due to [00:35:59] the digging of a large trench. These practices come at a time when [00:36:03] military restrictions continue on the entrances and roads of the Jordan Valley, [00:36:06] which exacerbates the suffering of our people, especially students, and threatens [00:36:10] the regularity of the [00:36:13] the Jordan Valley. The intensification of occupation measures at the Jordan Valley checkpoints [00:36:16] and their closure tightens the noose on the movement of citizens [00:36:20] and turns citizens' daily routes into [00:36:23] paths fraught with danger. From the governorate of Tubas and the Northern Jordan Valley, May [00:36:27] Al-Masri, Palestine TV. [00:36:30] The Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs denounced the announcement by the occupation authorities [00:36:34] that the site of the Maqam Banat Yaqoub in the Arroub suburb, south of Tulkarm, [00:36:37] is an archaeological zone. The ministry [00:36:41] clarified that the site is located on endowment land, [00:36:43] calling on international and human rights organizations [00:36:47] to intervene urgently to stop what it described [00:36:50] as violations and protect endowment lands and properties [00:36:53] from seizure. The ministry clarified that the [00:36:59] areas south and east of Tulkarm containing [00:37:03] announcements about the seizure of areas of land [00:37:07] and classifying them as archaeological areas under the pretext [00:37:10] of the presence of archaeological sites there. Reporters stated [00:37:13] that occupation forces stormed the area of [00:37:16] the Maqam Banat Yaqoub Park in the Arroub suburb, [00:37:19] and also placed similar posters in [00:37:23] Azbet Abu Yassin in Kuffa village [00:37:26] and in the areas of Kuffa and Al-Hafasi south of [00:37:30] Tulkarm [00:37:30] as well. [00:37:37] Occupation forces raised their flags at the entrance of Tulkarm refugee camp [00:37:40] as their aggression continues for the 600th [00:37:44] ongoing military measures that have [00:37:47] changed the features of the camp and the lives [00:37:51] of people. At an entrance that was once [00:37:54] a passage for the residents of Tulkarm refugee camp, [00:37:58] today, other scenes appear, carrying new [00:38:01] connotations about a reality that is becoming harsher [00:38:04] day after day. Occupation flags were erected at the northern [00:38:08] entrance of Tulkarm refugee camp coinciding with the [00:38:12] continuation of the aggression for the [00:38:15] The placement of flags in the area of the Tulkarm [00:38:18] camp is rejected. And we [00:38:21] demand the removal of the flags and the return [00:38:24] of the residents to the camp to live honorably in their tents, in their residential [00:38:28] homes. The continuation of the aggression and occupation, and also [00:38:32] the expulsion of residents and forced displacement against the camp residents is [00:38:35] something that is still outside the law, while the occupation's violations [00:38:39] continue, including incursions, raids, [00:38:42] arrests, and the closure of roads and checkpoints, [00:38:46] in addition to demolition and bulldozing notices. [00:38:49] The residents of Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps live in [00:38:53] a harsher reality due to forced displacement [00:38:55] and the loss of everything. The conditions of life today [00:38:59] are becoming more complicated and difficult because [00:39:02] of the deepening of this occupation's presence inside [00:39:05] the camp and the expulsion of the residents. The issue of [00:39:08] electricity and water, all life [00:39:11] today has become more difficult [00:39:14] because of the long period of time that [00:39:18] we have been displaced from the camp. A scene that affects the details [00:39:21] of daily life here, from [00:39:24] the farmer who fears reaching his land, to the family [00:39:28] that searches for a safe path for life, [00:39:31] and the child who grows up amid incursions and the sound [00:39:34] of bullets. While the extent of damage [00:39:38] expands and losses increase, [00:39:41] Tulkarm is facing a heavy humanitarian reality. [00:39:44] A harsh reality, and difficult humanitarian [00:39:47] conditions, exacerbated by the occupation's continued [00:39:50] aggression for the 600th consecutive [00:39:53] day, against Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps.

[00:40:05] In a step that reflects the continuation of biased displays in dealing [00:40:08] with the crimes of occupation soldiers, Israeli President [00:40:11] Isaac Herzog decided to erase the criminal record [00:40:14] of former soldier Elor Azaria, [00:40:18] who was convicted of killing the wounded Abdel Fattah al-Sharif in [00:40:22] Hebron city about 10 years ago, [00:40:26] despite his refusal to express regret and take [00:40:29] responsibility for his act. The decision came [00:40:32] in response to a request submitted by the occupation army minister, [00:40:36] Israel Katz. The official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said [00:40:40] that Herzog based his decision on [00:40:43] the passage of years since the incident and Azaria's [00:40:47] completion of his sentence. The case dates back [00:40:50] to March 24, [00:40:53] 2016, when Azaria, who was a soldier in the occupation [00:40:57] army, opened fire.
