00:09:26Israel is using quadcopter drones to target and kill civilians
00:09:30in Gaza. Geneva-based human rights monitor is documented at
00:09:34least 60 killings by these weapons from October last
00:09:38year until early September. The Euromet Group has spoken of a
00:09:41systematic pattern. deliberate killings and called for an international
00:09:45investigation press moti abu musabe reports from central
00:09:48gaza.
00:09:52Israel continues to use armed quadcopter jones to deliberately
00:09:56kill palestinian civilians in the Gaza strip. that's according to
00:10:00report released at the weekend by euromed human rights monitor. the
00:10:04geneva based group says it has documented the killing of at least
00:10:0860 civilians by attacks using quad copters since the seasfire
00:10:11took effect.
00:10:25genecidal war on Gaza. Israeli forces have employed a
00:10:28diverse range of weapons and military equipment against Palestinian
00:10:32women and children. despite the ceasefire agreement, the killing of
00:10:36Palestinians continues unabated. the fact that these drones can
00:10:40identify their targets further underscores the deliberate targeting
00:10:44of children and women, which is seen as a flagrant violation of
00:10:48international law and regulations. the
00:10:52euromed report speaks of a continuing patent. target civilians
00:10:56from a children to farmers, shepherds and the displaced people returning
00:11:00to check on their homes. it says Israel uses military
00:11:03technology that allows it to identify specific individuals,
00:11:07track their movements and strike them with
00:11:09precision. undoubtedly,
00:11:13developing quadcopter drones as killing tools is in violation of
00:11:17international law and conventions that prohibit targeting civilians
00:11:21under any circumstances. we are witnessing firsth how these...
00:11:25are targeting children and women, despite their advanced capabilities to
00:11:29identify their targets. this calls for immediate action from
00:11:32mediators and international humanitarian organizations to
00:11:36stop the widespread killing of Palestinians. for
00:11:40many pedicenians, quadcter drones are perceived as the
00:11:44most lethal weapon due to the multifunctional capabilities beyond
00:11:48their precision strikes on civilians. these drones can maneuver
00:11:52and hover effortlessly in confined spaces. including
00:11:55mixshift tints, this versatility allows them to be employed
00:11:59militarily and beyond.
00:12:03every night we witness and hear the Israeli quadcopter drones
00:12:07hovering over our makeshift tents, usually at low altitudes
00:12:11and sometimes firing on the sleeping people below. few days ago
00:12:15my nephew was shot and injured by an Israeli quadcopter drone
00:12:19while a friend of mine was tragically killed under similar
00:12:21circumstances wide. documentary
00:12:25demonstrates the same truth, the Israel regime uses artificial
00:12:29intelligence and advanced technologies in its war on Gaza to
00:12:33indiscriminately kill palestinan women and
00:12:35children. As the genocidal war
00:12:39on Gaza persists, the Israeli forces, armed with
00:12:43cutting edge technology continue to employ more lethal weapons
00:12:46against civilians, the world must now ask itself what
00:12:50more evidence is needed before halting this Israeli
00:12:54madness. the central area of
00:12:58gaza st. rescues are
00:13:02continuing to recover bodies from residential building in Gaza City day after it
00:13:06collapsed following damage sustained in Israeli strikes, at least
00:13:0921 people are so far confirmed dead and many others injured
00:13:13while more than 100 were me missing our course,
00:13:16but qad ibrahim tells us
00:13:17more.
00:13:2121 bodies were recovered from beneath the rubble of assaada building.
00:13:25West of Gaza, including 12 children and five
00:13:28women. After 15 hours of continuous rescue and
00:13:32search operations. According to Gaza civil defense, around
00:13:35100 Palestinians got trapped under the rubble the collapsed
00:13:39building. The six story building contain 24 apartments
00:13:43and served as a shelter for more than six families. Six
00:13:47extended families, those whose homes were destroyed as
00:13:51result the expanding so-called yellow line in the eastern bars the...
00:13:55strip that is actually taking control over 70% the
00:13:59ghaza strip, which is as result compressing more than 2 million
00:14:03Palestinians more in the western parts the Gaza strip, so
00:14:06those families had limited options, but to stay in dangerous areas as
00:14:10Israelation regime is still hindering the entry the
00:14:14reconstruction materials into the Gaza strip, according to Gaza civil defense
00:14:18as well, the major obstacle is the lack of heavy machinery and the lack of
00:14:22machinery that is designed to save the lives. to rescue those
00:14:25who are still alive under the rubble after 15 hours, the the
00:14:29civil defense announce that the the the machinery they have are not
00:14:33designed to save the lives, but designed actually to break down the slaps
00:14:37of concrete instead, which could be fatal for those who are still atrabed under
00:14:41the rubble until this moment. this actually serves as
00:14:45reminder that the Israel incubation regime is still hindering the entry
00:14:49the heavy machinery, the entry the reconstruction materials into the gaza strip
00:14:53and is still deteriorating. the conditions for the many the Palestinians
00:14:57and forcing them to stay in very dangerous areas across the Gaza
00:15:00strip.
00:15:05The Israeli military has launched a fresh wave of attacks on southern Lebanon
00:15:09intensifying its strikes, despite a US broker cease fire agreement.
00:15:13Several towns and villages in Tier and Nabatia districts are
00:15:17the targets the latest strikes, our correspond and hot tells us
00:15:20more.
00:15:25Israelis are insisting every night on conducting
00:15:28many air strikes, massive earth strikes that are
00:15:32using 100 pounds and 20 pounds
00:15:35bombs, sometimes ' above or they are
00:15:39targeting nabatia alfa and the hill of Alir
00:15:43they are still targeting that region added to
00:15:46it and the shiif arnon
00:15:50area including under the bofor castle where the
00:15:54Israel is right now they said that they are
00:15:57positioned so despite all of
00:16:00this operational dominance they are speaking
00:16:04about all the time they are still using - strikes
00:16:08to deal with any thing they want to deal with,
00:16:11because it's not even fact that
00:16:15there are any kind of threats in that region, they are most the
00:16:19times using these earth strikes to conduct
00:16:23more or inflict more destruction on these areas
00:16:26and also they are using nighttime to cause maximum
00:16:30psychological effect on the people regarding the shock waves
00:16:34and the impact that is heard and all south
00:16:38Lebanon by the way and even to areas including
00:16:42Mount Lebanon and West Beqa when they conduct these very heavy
00:16:45strikes on the hill tops of South Lebanon.
00:16:49Also, after this, the focus the military
00:16:53effort the Israelis is
00:16:57focused now on Almansouri region in the western
00:17:00sector on the coastal region.
00:17:03Al-Mansouri is the main urban area and the last main
00:17:07urban. area between uh the borders
00:17:1110 kilometers or 11 kilometers
00:17:14south of al-mansouri and tire
00:17:18city.
00:17:22Saudi Arabia has carried out fresh air strikes on Yemen as the ongoing aggression
00:17:26continues to inflict heavy losses on civilians. According to Yemeny media, the war
00:17:30planes targeted three telecommunications towers in
00:17:34Yemen's Thaies province, two other Saudi air strikes on this.
00:17:37the city of Abs and Hajja province killed one civilian and wounded another
00:17:41while destroying four vehicles and damaging house. the latest
00:17:45Saudi air strikes come with major ansara gains along Yemen's red sea
00:17:49coast. the movement has captured strategic positions and islands near
00:17:53the Babbal Mandeb straight. it has launched missile and drone attacks against
00:17:56targets in southern Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the
00:18:00Saudi
00:18:01aggression
00:18:06and Iran says has destroyed the 53rd US MQ9
00:18:10drone over Qashm Island. The drone was destroyed by the
00:18:13advanced air defense systems the IRGC's aerospace force operating under
00:18:17the country's integrated air defense network. MQ9 is a
00:18:21primary unmanned aerial vehicle used for surveillance and targeted
00:18:25strikes. This is a 53rd such drone downed by
00:18:29Iranian forces since the start the US-Israeli war on
00:18:32Iran. According to a Washington Post report, the US military
00:18:36has roughly... 25% of its reaper drone fleet
00:18:40during the conflict in addition to at least 45
00:18:44aircraft.
00:18:48Iran's acting defense minister says US missile defense systems including
00:18:52that and patriot have faced significant challenges encountering
00:18:56Iran's advanced missile and drone capabilities. brigadeer general
00:19:00said that until yesterday US military forces had
00:19:03remained confident in their weapons and military capabilities on
00:19:07what he called baseless claims by President Donald
00:19:11Trump. He said, however, that the reality on the battlefield had
00:19:15shown otherwise, meanwhile, the commander the Islamic Revolution Guards Core
00:19:19Ground forces warned that Iran would respond forcefully to any
00:19:22miscalculation by its adversaries. Iranian officials have repeatedly
00:19:26warned that the country remains fully prepared to defend itself against
00:19:30Danny hostile
00:19:30action.
00:19:35Iranians have marked 200 nights of gatherings that began following the
00:19:39outbreak of war over six months ago, they say their continued
00:19:43presence is demonstration of national unity and resistance to foreign
00:19:46pressure a time of profound political and security
00:19:50challenges.
00:19:56۲۰۰ شب حامی کشور
00:19:58شدیم.
00:20:02مشک گره کرده رهبر
00:20:04شدید.
00:20:08200 nights, nearly six months, and once again huge
00:20:12crowds are out on the streets of Tehran as well as other cities
00:20:16across the country. What began during the opening days the
00:20:20war has developed into recurring nighttime ritual:
00:20:23Iranian flags, chance, and tonight,
00:20:27milestone. I've been coming to these nightly
00:20:31rallies since the 35th night and I haven't missed a single night.
00:20:34I'll keep coming for as long as our leader wants. is
00:20:37here, we've been taking part in these nightly
00:20:41rallies for 200 nights for two main reasons:
00:20:45first, to demand justice for the blood of our martered leader,
00:20:49and second,
00:21:52Well the fourth day the annual IAA general conference is underway in the
00:21:55Austrian Capital Vienna, the prohibition of attacks on nuclear
00:21:59facilities is at the top the agenda of today's discussions. For more
00:22:03details, we were earlier joined by our corresponderinish from
00:22:07Vienna.
00:22:11The agenda item on the attacks to nuclear facilities uh
00:22:15will be discussed in the afternoon, we can expect a heated discussion, there
00:22:19will be joint statement delivered uh that uh
00:22:23has been drafted by Russia, China and Iran and
00:22:27signed by number of other countries, so far it has
00:22:30not been uh published the joint statement, so we don't
00:22:34know who uh which countries will sign
00:22:38this statement, we can expect that
00:22:42the allies of Russia, China and Iran like Ganisha, Burkina
00:22:46Faso, Nicaragua, Cuba, Belarus, Sudan.
00:22:51uh will sign it, I'm hearing also that South Africa
00:22:55will sign it, probably also Brazil, maybe Pakistan,
00:22:58Indonesia countries uh like like
00:23:02that, this agenda item and this
00:23:06uh joint statement is in direct relation to the
00:23:10attacks the uh in June
00:23:132025 on nuclear facilities in iran in
00:23:17spring but also the ongoing attacks on uh
00:23:20Russian nuclear facilities by Ukraine,
00:23:23most most importantly the attacks on
00:23:27Sapuricianal nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear power plant
00:23:30in
00:23:32Europe. United
00:23:36States Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time in three years
00:23:39and
00:23:40a bit to curve inflation driven by soring fuel prices at the US war on Iran.
00:23:44the central bank the US said the rates were highed by 25
00:23:48basis points bringing them uh from
00:23:503.75% to 4%. the decision was made despite
00:23:54fierce opposition from President Donald Trump who had called for interest
00:23:58rates to be lowered. it also comes just weeks before uh the
00:24:02US mid-term elections. fed chair Kevin Wars said the move
00:24:06was because inflation is too high and it has been for too long. crude
00:24:10oil prices have soared since the imposed usrally war on Iran in
00:24:14February. Brent Crude is currently trading over $104 a
00:24:17barrel and uh the US is seeing record high diesel
00:24:20prices with the average price reaching over $6 a
00:24:24gallon, roughly double the level year
00:24:27ago,
00:26:32'
00:27:5220 days that was all the time Mohammad Ali Khalaha had
00:27:56in this world, he was born in Gazby in Iran a time when the
00:28:00country was already at war, but War was never supposed to define his
00:28:04life. He was supposed to grow up, sleep safely in his mother's
00:28:08arms. Here his seven-year-old brother laugh and slowly discover the
00:28:11world around him. Instead, his life lasted just
00:28:1520 days during a US- Israeli air strike on
00:28:18Tehran, residential building in the Majidi area was
00:28:22strike. Muhammad Ali, his mother, his seven-year-old brother, and several
00:28:26other family members were killed while visiting relatives at their
00:28:29home. The explosion was so powerful. that the baby's
00:28:33body was thrown out the house. he was only 20
00:28:37days old. he was not a soldier, he was not a
00:28:40politician, he carried no weapon and had no role in the conflict. he
00:28:44was simply baby. wars are often described through statistics,
00:28:48how many missiles were fired, how many buildings were destroyed, how
00:28:52many people were killed, because the true cost of war is not
00:28:56measured only by numbers, sometimes
00:28:59it is measured by silent cradle, by a tiny piece
00:29:03of clothing that will never be worn by room where a
00:29:07baby's cries will never be heard again.
00:29:10that is why the story of Muhammad Ali is more than the story of one
00:29:14victim. it forces simple question: when
00:29:18war reaches baby's room, what happens to our ideas of
00:29:22security, humanity and the value of human life? for many Iranians,
00:29:26muhammad ali's name carries even deeper meaning. in
00:29:29shia muslim tradition, the name aliaskar. recalls the youngest
00:29:33son of Imam Hussein a baby who became one the most
00:29:37powerful symbols of innocence and suffering during the tragedy of
00:29:41Karbala, centuries separate Aliasgar from Mohammad
00:29:44Ali, different wars, different times, different
00:29:48places, but the image is painfully familiar. A
00:29:52defenceless child caught in violence, he did not choose and
00:29:56could never understand.
