00:00:00to Syria TV from Damascus Diala, welcome. According to this
00:00:07Minister of National Security, Ben to secure its wheat announcement, 44 employees, as announced by the Minister of Finance, from financial institutions and bodies
00:00:11have been dismissed on charges of corruption. Were
00:00:14there any additional information
00:00:18regarding these charges
00:00:28by the Minister of Finance
00:00:31to Hezbollah in several through the circular
00:00:33areas in southern Lebanon. on his page comes within what
00:00:36the Ministry of Finance is doing, in fact,
00:00:40and the campaign that the ministry has been undertaking for months,
00:00:44which includes
00:00:47oversight of financial and administrative
00:00:51institutions and directorates, meaning the institutions and directorates affiliated with the Ministry
00:00:55of Finance
00:00:57to control corruption
00:01:00and control violations in
00:01:03these institutions. Of course, what was announced by the Minister of Finance today
00:01:07is the dismissal of 34
00:01:10employees from several financial institutions affiliated
00:01:14with the Ministry of Finance. Among these
00:01:18institutions, there are 9 or
00:01:21million tons of wheat 24 employees
00:01:23in the financial directorates in
00:01:27Damascus, Hama, and Aleppo.
00:01:30And 10 others in
00:01:32also, in terms of the Real Estate Bank, and they were referred
00:01:36them. There are also for investigation. Of course, the dismissal
00:01:40does not mean proof
00:01:43in wheat represents an of charges against these employees of corruption, but rather
00:01:46it is an administrative measure taken
00:01:49while or during the period of investigation
00:01:54of being beaten, until responsibilities are determined.
00:01:56Of course, as we said, this comes within the campaign
00:02:00carried out by the Ministry
00:02:02between you being involved of Finance for months and through
00:02:05oversight measures over the institutions affiliated
00:02:09with the Ministry of Finance, as well as
00:02:12the investigation of files suspected
00:02:16students interested in joining of containing violations. Based on that, it seems that these
00:02:21been spared by the occupation employees were referred, Furat. Of course,
00:02:24The occupation army also issued previously, also in army since the first May, there was
00:02:27also a dismissal of a group of
00:02:31employees in the Damascus and Damascus countryside finances,
00:02:34and also in June, there was also
00:02:38a dismissal of a number of employees
00:02:41in a number of institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Finance,
00:02:45including the Real Estate Bank and the Directorate of Finance.
00:02:47Of course, these measures, as
00:02:50him a text for publication we said, come within the framework of the campaign launched
00:02:56that started three between Jerusalem and Ramallah, by the Ministry of Finance, which is not
00:02:58of the selection the first. Also, through what the Minister
00:03:01of Finance announced, there are also measures or decisions that will be issued successively,
00:03:05and this means
00:03:06feature. that the process or measures
00:03:10UNRWA's presence carried out by the Ministry of Finance in monitoring
00:03:13these institutions are continuous,
00:03:16as is the investigation of any file suspected of containing any
00:03:20corruption. This is still ongoing, but
00:03:23also regarding the statement and what
00:03:27the Minister of Finance also indicated
00:03:31that fighting corruption is not limited to controlling
00:03:34violations and imposing penalties, but also to
00:03:38so-called coordinator of the Israeli acquitting or lifting injustice, as it was
00:03:42described, from those accused
00:03:45if their innocence is proven and allowing
00:03:49them to return to their work or apply
00:03:52for job opportunities
00:03:55modified program will be applied in general. Therefore, we are facing a campaign
00:03:58that includes several paths. One speaks of
00:04:02combating corruption and controlling violations,
00:04:05and the other is to enhance
00:04:09institutional work and raise the efficiency of institutional
00:04:12work in the Ministry of Finance and its affiliated
00:04:16institutions.
00:04:28in wheat production, with received quantities reaching
00:04:312.7 million tons of the country's annual
00:04:36him in the blanket needs. a citizen who tried
00:04:36Syria achieves self-sufficiency
00:04:40in wheat for the first time since the war
00:04:44and drought waves, after
00:04:46the received quantities reached approximately 2.7
00:04:50million tons, exceeding
00:04:53the country's annual need of more
00:04:57than 2.5 million tons, according to the Syrian
00:05:00General Establishment for Grains. Syria reaching self-sufficiency
00:05:03is an achievement
00:05:05authorities and the Israeli after a period of relative recovery for the agricultural sector,
00:05:08following years of decline in local production
00:05:11and the country's reliance on imports
00:05:16needs, a step that will support the stability of flour
00:05:20and bread supplies. The Syrian General Establishment for Grains confirmed
00:05:23that there is no final date set for closing
00:05:27reception centers, as quantities continue to arrive from
00:05:30farmers, noting that most centers have
00:05:34effectively stopped operating after receiving marketable
00:05:37quantities within their geographical scope.
00:05:40Hasakah province topped production
00:05:44with about 1.2 million tons, followed by Raqqa
00:05:47then Aleppo, while the remaining quantities were distributed
00:05:51among the provinces of Hama, Deir ez-Zor, Daraa, Idlib, Homs,
00:05:54and the coastal provinces. Wheat production
00:05:57in Syria during the 2025
00:05:59season had declined to between
00:06:03900,000 and 1.1 million tons, according
00:06:06to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,
00:06:10due to a severe drought wave. This
00:06:13increased the country's need for imports,
00:06:16but improved rainfall and expanded cultivated
00:06:19areas during the current season contributed to increased
00:06:23production. Before 2011, Syria
00:06:27used to produce in good seasons between 3.5
00:06:30million and 4
00:06:33annually, achieving self-sufficiency and exporting
00:06:36the surplus in some years. However, the war,
00:06:40along with drought waves that the country witnessed,
00:06:43especially during 2021 and
00:06:462022, led to a significant
00:06:50decline in production. Achieving
00:06:52self-sufficiency
00:06:55important step to enhance food security, reduce
00:06:59import bills, and ensure the availability of the basic
00:07:02ingredient for bread production, amid government efforts
00:07:06to revive the agricultural sector and restore
00:07:09the production of strategic crops.
00:07:12After years of damage to the agricultural
00:07:16infrastructure, the Ministry of Defense in
00:07:19Idlib city held an introductory forum for the National University
00:07:23of Defense Sciences, attended by third-year secondary school
00:07:29it. Those in charge of the forum provided an explanation
00:07:32regarding admission conditions and the selection mechanism, in addition
00:07:35to introducing the university's departments and specializations
00:07:38to help students choose their university path.
00:07:46Praise be to God, today we had the honor of meeting a large number
00:07:50of third-year secondary students who succeeded
00:07:53in the third-year secondary stage. We congratulated them
00:07:57on their success in this stage and introduced them to the National University of Defense
00:08:01Sciences, and we emphasized
00:08:04to them the components of how to enter this university,
00:08:08from the beginning
00:08:11until the start of registration at the university. According to the student's
00:08:14wishes, we introduced them to the National University of Defense Sciences
00:08:17and its components, which generally consist of land
00:08:20colleges, naval colleges, air colleges, and the Higher
00:08:24Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology. The start of attendance
00:08:27will be according to the Ministry of Higher Education
00:08:31when it launches the selection process. Registration will
00:08:34take place, and immediately after the selection
00:08:38process, the entrance exam for students
00:08:41will be held, and immediately after that, God willing,
00:08:44at the latest on October 1st,
00:08:47students will officially begin
00:08:49attending.
00:08:53The General Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation in Damascus announced
00:08:56a modification to the water supply program for some areas due to
00:09:00the decrease in the flow rate of main water sources. The company stated
00:09:04on its Facebook page that the
00:09:07starting today, Thursday, in light of the high temperatures
00:09:11and increased consumption in Damascus and its countryside during the summer.
00:09:28The Palestinian Prisoners' Club reported that Israeli occupation forces carried
00:09:31out a wide campaign of arrests and detentions in Qalandia refugee
00:09:35camp, north of occupied Jerusalem, affecting more than
00:09:3760 Palestinians.
00:10:24The Jerusalem Governorate stated that the widespread military
00:10:27campaign in Qalandia camp is part of a systematic
00:10:31policy targeting Palestinian camps. The Governorate added
00:10:34that what is happening in Qalandia is in the context
00:10:38of a serious escalation accompanied by settlement
00:10:41activity to impose new realities with the aim of passing
00:10:45major settlement projects to separate Jerusalem
00:10:48from its Palestinian extension to the north. The Israeli
00:10:51army continues to carry out raids for the second day
00:10:55in Qalandia, accompanied by operations
00:10:58and abuse of citizens, home invasions, destruction
00:11:02of contents, and theft of money and gold from a number of them, according to the head of the Popular Committee for Qalandia Camp Services.
00:11:27of operations by the Israeli occupation army inside
00:11:30and raids on civilian homes and theft of gold
00:11:33also? In what context does this
00:11:36campaign and escalation come, Reem?
00:11:39Yes, Furat.
00:11:42Until this moment, the occupation forces are besieging
00:11:45Qalandia camp north of occupied Jerusalem.
00:11:49They have closed all entrances and exits to the
00:11:53camp with earth mounds and also with Israeli
00:11:56military vehicles. They stop passersby and search
00:12:01assaults on citizens and raids on homes,
00:12:05searching their contents, and destroying property,
00:12:08in addition to a number of injuries, according to the Palestinian
00:12:12Red Crescent. We are talking about
00:12:1516 injuries as a result
00:12:19in addition to three serious injuries
00:12:23that were transferred to hospitals. The Prisoners' Club reported
00:12:27that there are 60 arrests, including children
00:12:30and women The occupation turned
00:12:33some of these homes into interrogation
00:12:36centers and military barracks. They expelled
00:12:40eight families from their homes
00:12:42and turned them into interrogation centers. This all
00:12:45comes within the policy of targeting Palestinian
00:12:48camps, Furat, which the occupation
00:12:52authorities began last year, when
00:12:55they targeted camps north of the West Bank,
00:12:59completely bulldozing them, destroying their
00:13:02infrastructure, and expelling 40,000 citizens from
00:13:05Tulkarem, Nur Shams, and Jenin camps.
00:13:08This time, they are targeting Jerusalem camps, and Qalandia
00:13:11refugee camp is located in
00:13:14a distinguished location
00:13:18exactly on the road connecting Jerusalem
00:13:21and Ramallah, near the Qalandia Vocational Training Center
00:13:25of UNRWA, and all these
00:13:28institutions are targeted by the occupation authorities
00:13:31who want to end
00:13:35in the Palestinian territories. In addition
00:13:38to that, it is also located north of
00:13:41occupied Jerusalem
00:13:43and also near
00:13:47Qalandia military airport. There are settlement plans
00:13:51being carried out and implemented by the occupation in this
00:13:55area. For the second consecutive day, this military
00:13:58operation, which was announced by the coordinator or
00:14:03government in the West Bank, continues. He said
00:14:07that it targets what he described as "terrorist hotbeds"
00:14:10in Qalandia camp. Eyewitnesses said that the occupation
00:14:13is raiding homes, stealing gold,
00:14:17and also destroying contents, stealing
00:14:20citizens' money from homes, as reported by
00:14:24the camp residents. They are also being beaten
00:14:27and commercial shops are being closed. Not only
00:14:31this, but they also demolished parts
00:14:34of homes and commercial shops
00:14:38around Qalandia camp and in other neighborhoods
00:14:41such as Al-Matar neighborhood and Al-Kassarate neighborhood.
00:14:44So we are talking about a complete siege.
00:14:50is almost paralyzed. No one can enter
00:14:53or exit. A short while ago, they stopped
00:14:59to bring bread into the camp, as it has
00:15:02been besieged since yesterday. So even ambulance
00:15:06vehicles, Furat, can hardly
00:15:09reach Qalandia camp. We saw this scene
00:15:13in the north targeting the camps,
00:15:16and this scene was also threatened by the Israeli
00:15:20army minister, Yisrael Katz,
00:15:23who said that there would be a new
00:15:27camp that the occupation
00:15:30army would raid and eliminate "terrorism"
00:15:34in it, as he described it, similar to what the army
00:15:38did in the northern camps. This operation
00:15:41is also supervised by the
00:15:45Gvir, who also threatened to eliminate terrorism in
00:15:48Palestinian camps, as he described them. This is the
00:16:01said that its forces attacked, in the past
00:16:0424 hours, infrastructure belonging
00:16:10This announcement comes at a time when indirect
00:16:13negotiations between Lebanon and Israel are continuing
00:16:17in the Italian capital, Rome, with American mediation. The
00:16:20spokesman for the occupation army explained that the strikes
00:16:23came in response to an explosion that occurred in the Majdal
00:16:26Zoun area and resulted in the killing of two Israeli
00:16:29soldiers and the injury of four others with serious
00:16:33wounds. He added that the raids targeted weapons
00:16:37depots, a command headquarters,
00:16:38and other infrastructure,
00:16:53on the Lebanese front, Maya Hashem, Syria TV
00:16:57correspondent, is with us live from Beirut.
00:17:00So, Maya, what are
00:17:01the details you have
00:17:06about what is happening,
00:17:10attacks by the occupation forces on Hezbollah's
00:17:12infrastructure in Lebanon? Yes, Furat. Indeed,
00:17:16the escalation in southern Lebanon is met with
00:17:19a stalemate at the Lebanese-Israeli negotiation table. The occupation
00:17:23army announced since yesterday that it had begun
00:17:27attacking infrastructure and centers belonging to Hezbollah
00:17:31in the south. Raids and artillery shelling continued.
00:17:34A short while ago, the occupation army targeted
00:17:38more than one town in southern Lebanon with artillery
00:17:41shelling. The most prominent of these towns were
00:17:44Malkiyah and Houla, as well as Majdal
00:17:47Zoun. And from midnight yesterday until dawn,
00:17:51the occupation army targeted Burj al-Shamali town
00:17:54with more than one raid. This town had
00:17:59sedition until today.
00:18:02evacuation warnings yesterday in Mansoura
00:18:05town, and we observed a movement of residents
00:18:08from the town, who were still
00:18:11present in the town. Also, yesterday, they bombed
00:18:14a town. So, escalation is the dominant factor
00:18:17in southern Lebanon, and the occupation army
00:18:21justifies itself by saying that it is escalating
00:18:24in response to the killing of two Israeli soldiers
00:18:27in the south. All of this is met with
00:18:31Lebanese-Israeli negotiations
00:18:34days ago, and this is the seventh session
00:18:37until today, but there are efforts in
00:18:40the political and diplomatic positions.
00:18:43The seventh session concluded without any
00:18:46tangible progress regarding the negotiation
00:18:49process, as there is Israeli intransigence
00:18:53facing the Lebanese diplomacy, which was
00:18:57demanding to expand the scope of the experimental
00:19:01areas to include Bint Jbeil
00:19:04and also towns in southern Lebanon, the most
00:19:10prominent of which is Khiam. However,
00:19:13there is Israeli intransigence.
00:19:15Also, the Lebanese delegation
00:19:20demanded regarding the round of negotiations in Rome,
00:19:24has this round concluded?
00:19:27Yes, Furat. I was talking about it. Yes,
00:19:30it concluded, but without any tangible progress
00:19:34and without any progress regarding
00:20:11overcoming the obstacles that are still ongoing
00:20:14and present until today. US President Donald Trump
00:20:18said that talks with Iran are going well,
00:20:21expressing optimism about the possibility of reaching an
00:20:25agreement that would end the tension between the two
00:20:29sides. Trump added in an interview with Fox
00:20:325 that reaching an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is imminent.
00:20:35He indicated that he does not
00:29:39TV platform on
