00:00:13if signed, will certainly
00:00:19We certainly ask
00:00:25to communicate more with
00:00:36Hello and welcome to downtown. and forms part of Quneitra Governorate is located This time from
00:00:43Well, there is no, meaning there from many Quneitra, from Khan Arnabeh and the ancient Khan there. What does it mean for a person to stand firm on their land? What does it mean
00:00:47to stay in their home, open their shop, cultivate
00:00:49their land, send their children to school?
00:00:53These might be ordinary details anywhere,
00:00:54directorates in the governorate. We meet with but when you live under the threat
00:00:57of attacks and incursions,
00:01:00the simplest details of life require
00:01:04block roads for courage and also reasons to help you
00:01:07continue. When I talk about Quneitra and Daraa,
00:01:10it's easy to say our people are steadfast, and we salute
00:01:13their courage, and we demand
00:01:16that they hold on to their land. But what are we offering
00:01:19them? What are we offering them
00:01:24cases, fire and shells have been directed at are prevented from so they can remain steadfast, and how do we ensure
00:01:25reality outside of international that steadfastness is not a burden left on their shoulders alone?
00:01:29The father who fears for his children, and the farmer who wants to reach
00:01:33his land,
00:01:35and we suffer greatly from and the family that is considering leaving their home out of fear.
00:01:39It's not enough to tell them,
00:01:44and communication with to pressure this "May God strengthen you."
00:01:44media. Okay. And in many These people need security, they need services, they need healthcare, they need education, they need
00:01:47sustenance, and they need to know that if their home is damaged, God
00:01:52and sources of income in forbid, or their livelihood is cut off, there is someone to support them and that their voice
00:01:56is heard and their suffering has priority.
00:02:00And here we begin with the role of the government.
00:02:03How does it turn support for steadfastness into a truly
00:02:06real plan, with resources, responsibilities, follow-up,
00:02:10and actual implementation on
00:02:12centers in the ground? How does it listen to the people? How
00:02:14the southern sector of the governorate. There is does it involve them in identifying their needs and protect their rights
00:02:18is linked to its location in contact with and dignity? Who is following up on the affairs
00:02:20of the kidnapped?
00:02:22We will ask about the role of the elites. Where are Quneitra and the entire south
00:02:26from the attention of media professionals, researchers, and influential people?
00:02:31Do we only talk about them during attacks and then forget
00:02:34them?
00:02:37with the incursion of occupation forces into How do we convey their stories and advocate for them without
00:02:40reducing them to images
00:02:42they at of victims or asking them for heroism beyond
00:02:46their capacity?
00:02:50tools. So, from this We will ask civil society and the private sector what we can do to support
00:02:54schools, health
00:02:56bigger than that. It has become a mockery centers, farmers, small businesses, everything.
00:03:01How do we coordinate efforts so that aid reaches people as they
00:03:04need it? How can we create the ability to
00:03:08continue, not just fill a gap for a few days
00:03:11and that's it? We also want to ask if
00:03:15sacrifices we would not be sitting in this support is reaching all areas
00:03:16place, nor would this and groups. Who is following up on the most affected families,
00:03:20women who bear the responsibility of their homes, the elderly,
00:03:24killed by the bullets of people with disabilities? Steadfastness has no
00:03:27single recipe. Every family,
00:03:30So that, so that we hide from the aggression. may God help them. Every family has its needs
00:03:32and circumstances. Our episode today is about the people of Quneitra,
00:03:36Hauran, and the South,
00:03:38occupation forces have devoured thousands of and among them and about our responsibilities
00:03:41towards them, because
00:03:43when they realized that this holding on to the land requires necessities, and true
00:03:46solidarity must be evident in people's lives.
00:03:50How do we turn the steadfastness of the South from a greeting
00:03:53we offer to a responsibility we bear? This is the question
00:04:10sufficient. This is a blatant aggression against Welcome back again
00:04:13to Quneitra. The Israeli attacks and incursions are no
00:04:17longer just news we hear. They have become a reality
00:04:20that terribly affects people's lives, their safety, their daily
00:04:24There is communication with details, everything. There of the kidnapped are people who are afraid to go to their land.
00:04:27circulated this There are families living in anxious anticipation of their detained children. Some
00:04:30of them are with us. The question today is how the people of Quneitra
00:04:34are living this reality. We will hear all these details from our people
00:04:37and our folks, the people of Quneitra. But first, let me
00:04:41welcome my guests for tonight's episode. Let me start
00:04:43by welcoming Professor Mohammed Al-Saeed, Director of the Northern Region
00:04:48I mean, I now address this in Quneitra. Welcome.
00:04:50get enough support from Welcome, Doctor. Welcome, and Professor Ahmed Awad, journalist
00:04:53and head of Golan FM.
00:04:57So, you document the violations, welcome. Yes, thank you very much.
00:05:00Welcome, and I would also like to welcome Dr. Tariq Diab, member of the People's Assembly from
00:05:11Always highlighting go to the esteemed audience,
00:05:13stay with us to watch this report together. Welcome,
00:05:17viewers. Quneitra is not
00:05:19marginalized. In Quneitra, life begins with simple
00:05:23details: a home, land, a road to school,
00:05:26and a livelihood that people await at the end of each
00:05:29day. But these details here do not always go as
00:05:33their owners wish. The occupation has imposed an exceptional
00:05:36reality on the governorate, and its people have accumulated challenges
00:05:40of security, livelihood, and services.
00:05:45in the southwest of Syria
00:05:48the Syrian Golan. It holds a special geographical
00:05:51and political position due to its proximity to the occupied
00:05:55territories and the presence of areas subject to the disengagement agreement
00:05:58of
00:06:001974.
00:06:03The city of Quneitra was destroyed during the Israeli withdrawal in that
00:06:07year and remained largely deserted.
00:06:10Then the administrative center moved to the city of Salam,
00:06:13while population centers are distributed in multiple towns and villages.
00:06:17Quneitra includes diverse social components,
00:06:20including Sunni Arabs, Druze,
00:06:23Alawites, Circassians,
00:06:26Turkmens, and Christians. According to estimates from the Central
00:06:29Bureau of Statistics published in
00:06:322021, the population of Quneitra
00:06:35Governorate was about 124
00:06:38thousand people. However, estimating the current population
00:06:41is more difficult due to displacement, return, and the changes
00:06:45the governorate has witnessed. A wide segment
00:06:48of Quneitra's residents relies on agriculture and livestock farming.
00:06:52The cultivation of fruit trees, especially pomegranates
00:06:56and apples, along with field crops,
00:06:59stands out as one of the most prominent economic activities
00:07:04the governorate. Agriculture in Quneitra faces
00:07:07cumulative challenges, from rising
00:07:10production costs and water and irrigation problems to difficulties
00:07:14in accessing some lands due to security conditions.
00:07:18Farmers also face challenges in marketing
00:07:20their crops, which affects family incomes
00:07:23and the continuation of agricultural activity.
00:07:27The distinctiveness of Quneitra
00:07:30the occupied Golan. Since the disengagement agreement in
00:07:341974,
00:07:36United Nations forces are deployed in the separation zone
00:07:40to monitor the agreement. This region has witnessed
00:07:43new field developments since December
00:07:462024,
00:07:50the buffer zone and also locations
00:07:53outside of it. So, Quneitra is not
00:07:56just a border area or a space
00:07:59where security news is repeated. It is a community
00:08:02with its land, livelihoods, and social
00:08:06distinctiveness, facing challenges that affect its security,
00:08:09economy, and future. Between Israeli
00:08:12aggression and daily life's needs, the question
00:08:15remains: How can the people of Quneitra be guaranteed
00:08:19to remain on their land and be provided with the means for a stable
00:08:22and dignified
00:08:24life?
00:08:27Let me go to the ladies and gentlemen present.
00:08:30How is your life today in Quneitra? Is there
00:08:33safety? Is there fear? What
00:08:37do you want? The sky is the limit. Tell me from your heart what message
00:08:41you want to convey to the government, to the People's Assembly, to the people.
00:08:44What complaints do you have? Please, who would like to speak
00:08:54you. I am Hassan Hamad from Saida,
00:08:57Golan, at the farthest Quneitra.
00:09:00Welcome. First, we begin by
00:09:04saying, "By God, if a lamb stumbles in Iraq,
00:09:07I would be asked, why did you not pave the way for it, O
00:09:11Omar?"
00:09:13We, as the southern region,
00:09:17and at the level of Quneitra Governorate entirely,
00:09:20and Daraa, we do not exclude Daraa
00:09:23either, are living now in our worst
00:09:26conditions. For those who ask about our situation, we are living
00:09:29in our worst state today due to
00:09:33the ongoing incursions, due to the arbitrary
00:09:36measures by
00:09:38the entity. And whoever does not know,
00:09:42let him know. And we shall present it
00:09:46as an argument against every one who says, "We do not
00:09:48know," that we are
00:09:52an oppressed people. I said it before
00:09:55and I repeat it today, that we have never tasted freedom
00:09:59at all, from the era of the defunct
00:10:02regime to a new era
00:10:05in which the most heinous types and forms
00:10:08of crime are practiced upon us
00:10:15Please.
00:10:18Mr. Hassan Ahmed, Quneitra Governorate, Juba Al-Khashab village.
00:10:21First, on behalf of myself
00:10:25and the people of Quneitra Governorate, we welcome Syria TV
00:10:29and the esteemed attendees and you,
00:10:32Doctor, on the land of Quneitra Governorate.
00:10:35And we thank you for this
00:10:43And on my behalf and on behalf
00:10:46of the families of the kidnapped and detained in Israeli
00:10:49occupation prisons, first and foremost,
00:10:53and on behalf of the suffering
00:10:55of farmers and peasants from Quneitra Governorate in general,
00:10:58the border villages along the Alpha line, Quneitra
00:11:02Governorate suffers
00:11:05difficulties, the most important of which are the entity's
00:11:08incursions and the detention of children, numbering
00:11:1138 detainees to this
00:11:14day. How are the incursions affecting
00:11:18your lives? We, as a people,
00:11:21are steadfast, God willing, and these incursions will not shake us.
00:11:25So when they make their incursions, explain to the people what is happening. Now, the incursions
00:11:29people. This will force you to change
00:11:33your path so you don't encounter these patrols. You might be subjected
00:11:36to inspection, and after inspection, you might be subjected to humiliation or
00:11:40detention. They humiliate people. Yes, we,
00:11:43most of the people of Quneitra Governorate or the village of Juba Al-Khashab,
00:11:47going to their fields.
00:11:50There is an area of about 1500 dunams of planted
00:11:54olive trees, fruit trees, that have not been harvested to
00:11:57this day,
00:12:00this matter. We appeal to the United
00:12:03Nations first entity
00:12:07to release
00:12:09the detainees first and to release the orchards
00:12:18the bulldozing of vast areas that affected the town and village
00:12:21of Juba Al-Khashab from its natural forests, in addition to
00:12:26adding to this, Doctor, if you would kindly allow us,
00:12:29the episode is for you. I will come back to you so we can take the largest number of questions from it. Yes, we have a question.
00:12:33Uh, who is the authorized body that we ask about
00:12:36our children and the fate of our children? And who is able
00:12:40to reveal to us? I will come back to Dr. Tariq with this question
00:12:55Governorate. First, I welcome the "Downtown" program,
00:12:58its organizers, and you, second. We,
00:13:02every prisoner, every detainee in Quneitra
00:13:06Governorate, has a story, and a story of a thousand
00:13:09and one nights. So we demand
00:13:12from the local community and from His Excellency
00:13:15the President, and we demand from the free people of the world
00:13:18and human rights advocates that they help us to release
00:13:22our children from prisons. Do you have anyone detained? My son has been
00:13:26detained for a year and 11 months. He has been detained for a year and 11 months. How old
00:13:29was your son when he was arrested? He was 24 years old. Now he is
00:13:3326 years old. Why was he arrested? Do you have any idea? No news. What
00:13:37information do you get about him? What do you know about him? Ofer prison. But that is the
00:13:40only news, that it is Ofer prison. Were you able to communicate with him? No.
00:13:44Were you able to talk to anyone from the government to ask about him? We went to every possible place.
00:13:48What do they tell you? No answer.
00:13:51No answer. We are trying. We are trying. These
00:13:55are the answers. Second, what was taken by force will not be returned except
00:13:59by force. And a rat is not brought except by a
00:14:02clever rat. We, in the governorate
00:14:05here, are leaving this people to face
00:14:08the enemy with bare chests, with bare
00:14:12chests. We have nothing to face the enemy. The Israeli
00:14:15enemy invaded in its time, in
00:14:181920, when France tried to enter
00:14:21Damascus, Youssef Al-Azma insisted on facing it
00:14:25with a few rifles and a few swords. Right?
00:14:29Let me, let me hear
00:14:35be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings. May God reward you for your presence
00:14:39and for feeling with us and with our children who are kidnapped
00:14:42by Israel. I am from the Damascus countryside. My son, my son is
00:14:4617 years old. He has been kidnapped by the occupation for a year and four months.
00:14:49A school student, not just him, all
00:14:52of them are kidnapped by the occupation. And we
00:14:56have appealed to states and to every person with a living conscience to demand our children, and no one has answered
00:15:00our call. I appeal to all countries of the world and hold them
00:15:03responsible. The state of Syria's
00:15:07right is violated by the whole world, and a small
00:15:10group from the occupation is attacking our land, our children, and our
00:15:14country, and they take our children from their homes. By what right? Where
00:15:17are the countries of the world? Where are human rights? Where is the legitimacy in
00:15:21human rights? We do not see any of
00:15:28was your son? He was 17 years old, a student in the
00:15:31school. Why was he arrested? We really don't know, my son.
00:15:35They kidnapped him. It was a kidnapping, not an arrest. This is a kidnapping, a kidnapping. Yes.
00:15:38These occupiers kidnap, they don't take the young men from their homes.
00:15:48Mohammed, you heard. What are you doing
00:15:51for these people? What action are you taking when you
00:15:54hear about kidnappings? First, welcome, and welcome to the precious land
00:15:58of Quneitra on this cold evening, which, God willing, carries
00:16:02good tidings to come, God
00:16:09uh, there is great
00:16:12interest from the government. Of course, these
00:16:16violations and these kidnappings carried
00:16:19out by the Israeli occupation are documented
00:16:22and submitted through the governor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of course, and then
00:16:26submitted to international bodies, whether the Security Council
00:16:30or international organizations. Many international
00:16:33organizations have visited the governorate here and met with the parents
00:16:38of the kidnapped and detainees, and many
00:16:41messages have been sent, meaning
00:16:44to all United Nations organizations
00:16:47and the Security Council. Even the President of the Security Council
00:16:51visited Damascus and met with the Governor and some
00:16:54representatives of the people of Quneitra, and they presented these
00:16:57violations and these arrests, which are an unacceptable
00:17:03law. International law, at least the simplest things,
00:17:06it is known in international law that the guardians know the fate
00:17:10of their children and also the charges against them. And these
00:17:13messages have actually been sent, there is no
00:17:16diplomatic path, meaning every violation and every
00:17:19breach and every arrest reaches the highest
00:17:23levels, even the President, daily.
00:17:26It is documented by media professionals, by regional directors,
00:17:30by the tape. It reaches the Governor. What action do you take, Professor
00:17:33Mohammed, regarding
00:17:37the families, for example? Documentation. But documentation
00:17:41also means notifying the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
00:17:44through diplomatic channels, of course, addresses the United
00:17:48Nations, the international organizations. So we understand that we are exerting diplomatic
00:17:51pressure. Okay. Other than diplomatic pressure, are we able to do anything in these
00:17:55circumstances? In fact, no. We follow, we are part of a state, we follow the policy
00:18:04Compensation, support, providing assistance?
00:18:08Providing conditions for them to be able to remain steadfast
00:18:17Indeed, a gesture of goodwill. Assistance is very
00:18:19simple for these parents. I mean, do you compensate
00:18:23a mother for the loss of her son?
00:18:26It's impossible. Is there no support? Are you satisfied with the government's
00:18:40to you. First, we pray for the souls of the martyrs of the blessed
00:18:43Syrian Revolution. Uh, the martyrs whose
00:18:46fragrance of their blood wafts in every
00:18:50place, and without whose
00:18:54meeting have taken place. Uh, in fact,
00:18:57it is needless to say that Quneitra
00:19:00Governorate, with all due respect,
00:19:03uh, at the end of
00:19:06the defunct regime and with liberation, did not
00:19:10enjoy, like other governorates,
00:19:13freedom due to these
00:19:16Israeli incursions that began
00:19:21regime, which they worked to establish and build
00:19:24for more than half a century, and which was a faithful
00:19:28guardian of their borders throughout this period. My
00:19:31question is specific. You heard the measures that Professor Mohammed Saeed mentioned. What
00:19:35do you think about what you can do?
00:19:43Assembly, our role
00:19:45is oversight.
00:19:48We follow up with the government on the actions they can
00:19:52take to follow up on
00:19:55the affairs
00:19:58Syrians.
00:20:01international parliaments.
00:20:04Today, there was a delegation from the International Parliament. This issue was raised.
00:20:08Let's talk about the benefit. The international parliament today on the issue. Yes, this issue was raised.
00:20:12Will any action be taken afterwards, or did we just talk to him?
00:20:15God bless. Our dear Doctor, the parliamentary
00:20:19actions are recommendations,
00:20:22and we promised to convey these
00:20:25recommendations and these matters
00:20:29and these violations to the countries they represent. Also,
00:20:32a short while ago, there was a meeting
00:20:35with the Arab Parliament, and this
00:20:39issue was presented to our Arab
00:20:42brothers. Uh,
00:20:48the violations that occur there.
00:20:52There are uh, meaning
00:20:56continuous discussions, even if they are currently suspended,
00:20:58for the signing of the security agreement. And this agreement,
00:21:03include the release of all
00:21:07kidnapped individuals. our brothers
00:21:11in the government and in the governorate
00:21:15the families.
00:21:17Meaning, help as much as possible with daily matters, with
00:21:21matters of life. But the most important issue is working to free these
00:21:24kidnapped people. How often do you, as members of the People's Assembly, meet with the families in Quneitra
00:21:28to find out their needs, specifically the families of the kidnapped?
00:21:33is no specific schedule, but we are present in the governorate on a permanent
00:21:36basis. Weekly, we make visits
00:21:40to the
00:21:44the families and follow up with them. Do you think there is some negligence towards the people
00:21:48of Quneitra? Whatever we do,
00:21:56established, meaning, in fact, the issue of Quneitra
00:22:00and the violations are always on the agenda
00:22:03of the People's Assembly.
00:22:06About two weeks
00:22:09or a little more ago, there was a large parliamentary
00:22:13delegation in the governorate. It might have been the largest delegation from the People's
00:22:16Assembly to Quneitra. It was not a protocol
00:22:20visit at all, but rather
00:22:23to learn about the situation in the governorate, to learn about the needs. What happened
00:22:31There were recommendations
00:22:34the ministers who visited the governorate
00:22:37and made promises, whether in the health sector, or the
00:22:41agriculture sector, or the education sector.
00:22:44Communication to implement these promises on the ground has actually
00:22:48begun. We are now seeing a noticeable
00:22:51development in Golan Hospital, which is the only
00:22:55hospital in the governorate. There is serious work
00:22:58to develop health
00:23:08A magnetic resonance imaging device will be,
00:23:12meaning, we are still talking about something very, very small compared to what the
00:23:15governorate needs. Professor Ahmed, I will come back to you to help
00:23:18us document what has changed in the last stage,
00:23:21from the last times, peace
00:23:24be upon you. We welcome you to Khan Arnabeh, the ancient, and welcome
00:23:35Meaning, as for documentation, we need to move beyond
00:23:38the term "violations." The word "violations" is no longer sufficient. The word "incursion" is
00:23:42no longer sufficient. The matter has become
00:23:46of people. There are attacks. We must call it an attack
00:23:50because the matter has become meaning, it
00:23:53goes beyond the issue of an incursion for an hour or two,
00:23:57because people are suffering in their livelihood, in their financial situation,
00:24:00in all aspects of their lives. What
00:24:03has changed? What has changed in the past period? We have,
00:24:07almost since June, Quneitra
00:24:10Governorate has witnessed a change in
00:24:12the treatment of the Israeli occupation
00:24:16army when it enters a village
00:24:20or a specific town. There have been,
00:24:23meaning, beatings against young men.
00:24:26We noticed this. Yes, yes, yes. And insults and humiliations. Yes.
00:24:30Insults and humiliations. I mean, just the day before yesterday,
00:24:33we witnessed a situation where they put a sign on
00:24:37one of the poles in the northern sector that said, "More than three
00:24:41cars are prohibited, otherwise they will be targeted." I mean, what more violation
00:24:45and aggression do you want?
00:24:56Meaning, the word "incursion" is no longer sufficient. The word "violation" is no longer
00:25:00people. A solution must be found for these people for their
00:25:04livelihood. There is extreme difficulty, very, very
00:25:07much so. Meaning, the issue has exceeded
00:25:11people's capacity. Is there an emigration of people from the? Not at all.
00:25:15Not at all. Some people news a while ago
00:25:19that there is emigration and so on, even from the western
00:25:23Daraa countryside, and greetings to our people in Daraa. That did not
00:25:26happen at all. No one left. It was said a while ago in the
00:25:30media. From your point of view, is it fair to the people
00:25:32of Quneitra? Honestly, let's be frank.
00:25:38speech to the Ministry of Information, I address it to the Quneitra Information Directorate. This speech
00:25:42is about finding solutions and developing plans to cover
00:25:44the work, meaning, the media
00:25:48work should cover and adopt independent
00:25:52media as media that carries
00:25:55the issue completely, because we, the independent media, are also
00:25:58doing an immense job, but they are working. Where are they? Why don't we hear their voices? Independent. We don't hear
00:26:02their voices. Because
00:26:04the voice is not reaching. Why is it not
00:26:08reaching? It's not reaching because, in my opinion, in my personal opinion, the Ministry
00:26:12of Information should
00:26:15internationalize these individuals. Meaning, what does it mean to internationalize them?
00:26:19Meaning, it is supposed that we develop a systematic
00:26:22action plan towards the Syrian South. Professor Ahmed, is the media negligent or not
00:26:26negligent? This is my question. Yes, negligent. Why? Why do you think it is
00:26:29negligent? It is negligent because
00:26:35it is not concerned with individuals, but rather with the reality
00:26:38of the governorate, with the reality
00:26:41of the Israeli incursion, with the reality of their
00:26:45violations and aggressions. I mean, we might now see an incursion in the northern
00:26:48sector, and after fifteen minutes, we find an incursion in the southern
00:26:52sector. I mean, this issue, my question, Ahmed, why
00:26:55do you think media professionals are not giving enough attention
00:26:58to it? What are their reasons? Now, we, the independent
00:27:01media professionals, are honestly thanked for their efforts. But official media, in your
00:27:05opinion, official media? In my opinion, no, it is not
00:27:09covering it completely. Why, Professor Mohammed, do you think official media is not covering it? First,
00:27:12do you agree with him that official media is not covering what is happening in Quneitra as it should?
00:27:16No, in fact, I do not agree with him. Why? Because the media, in fact,
00:27:20I mean, media professionals on the ground in the governorate are carrying their lives
00:27:23in their hands, and in many
00:27:26media professionals so that they can fulfill their role and deliver their message. The reality
00:27:30is, they are facing great
00:27:33dangers, at a distance of meters. In your opinion, in your opinion, are the independent
00:27:37media professionals doing their duty more, or
00:27:40the independent media and the government media? In reality,
00:27:44the government media, the official
00:27:46cases, and perhaps there are media professionals here who are present
00:27:50and have been subjected to shelling, not just shooting,
00:27:53but shells were fired
00:28:02alone, meaning, they were subjected to shells, but may God protect you, guys.
00:28:06But other than "May God protect you," we have nothing to offer them. I mean, what
00:28:09should have been done? I mean, is there support, for example? Is there provision of equipment for them?
00:28:13Is there support for them so that their coverage reaches? Is
00:28:16what they are filming always reaching
00:28:24is, as Sheikh
00:28:27Mohammed said, that journalists are doing a heroic
00:28:30job
00:28:33in documenting violations and facing
00:28:37dangers and يعني ايه
00:28:40the real danger to their lives, but they need a lot of support. Yes,
00:28:44least need modern equipment.
00:28:48Most of them use their personal mobile phones
00:28:51for filming, simple
00:28:53perspective, they must be supported. More than that,
00:28:56in fact, journalistic work
00:28:59is always understood. But let me see the opinion
00:29:09Nour Al-Hassan from Quneitra Governorate, an independent
00:29:12journalist, of course. Since the beginning of the fall of the Assad regime
00:29:16until today, we have documented more than
00:29:183,350 violations in this area.
00:29:22Israeli aggression, 35 martyrs
00:29:27the Israeli occupation. 35
00:29:29martyrs. 35 martyrs, of course. Apart
00:29:33from the shelling that we have documented, apart from the incursions
00:29:36that are happening in the lands of the area, the Israeli
00:29:41hectares of Syrian land through the Soufa road. Of course, the Soufa
00:29:44road was, since
00:29:47approximately November 10, 2022,
00:29:51the first Israeli military bulldozer entered
00:29:55west of Jebbata Al-Khashab village and put up that sign. And until today,
00:29:58this road is still in the south of Quneitra governorate, specifically
00:30:02west of Al-Rofaid village, all the way to
00:30:05Saida Al-Hanout. It is devouring
00:30:07lands. We saw in the past period
00:30:11an Israeli tank entered a farm
00:30:14and crushed or ran over approximately 700 trees
00:30:18that were 20 years old. A farm. So, did
00:30:21you document, professor, did you document these stories and did they reach the media
00:30:25as they should? We, as independent journalists, are working
00:30:28and exposing our lives to danger. Of course, we were subjected to gunfire.
00:30:32We were subjected to bomb attacks, even from Israeli
00:30:36drones that fired a shell at us while we were
00:30:40documenting one of the violations in the Beit Jinn area. Also,
00:30:43we are trying our best, as Dr. Tariq mentioned,
00:30:47with the tools that we can use. I mean, a camera, you can't
00:30:52the Syrian government. As an independent journalist, until now, I have not seen
00:30:56any support from the Syrian government, honestly, until now.
