Fighters reuse unexploded Israeli bomb in Gaza City, with Jon Elmer

we're going to go now to Gaza City um in Gaza City the two battles are along the narim corridor which is the corridor that cuts the Gaza Strip in half that we've talked about on these shows and connects to the pier um it's one of the ways that Israel plans to police the Gaza Strip for the months and maybe years to come if they uh are successful in their uh in their dreams for Gaza they will have a corridor that they will strike um that they'll be able to car come down and strike Gaza City from these corridors they're attempting to set a second one up in jabalia where they can move in um and and attack jabalia so these corridors are going to be an important part of the battle um and then there was the battle in zeton um and that's where we're going to start 100 attacks in 10 days in zun and this is the uh third invasion of zetune 100 attacks in 10 days on the third day of the uh third time there was a full invasion with a division into zetune neighborhood and the resistance is able to put up a 100 attacks in 10 days those are IDF numbers I didn't uh count cross check them with the Kasam field reports um uh which were very similar uh in tracking those two they they track their stats pretty similarly when you're talking about operations they just lie about the casual uales um and Kasam doesn't tell you casualty numbers kassam doesn't say there's 5,000 dead Israelis the the Kasam communic say the number of Israelis that the Israelis have admitted to um and and Kasam sticks with those numbers they're not exaggerating their numbers uh like the Israelis do every day the Israelis every day say they they killed 150 gunmen in zetune um there's no proof of that there's no proof uh that they killed 150 Fighters every day day after day after day they're not killing thousands of fighters in a 10day operation it's absolutely ludicrous and they're may be counting the civilians that they Massacre or the hospitals that they dismantle but they're not killing 130 Fighters a day that's not how these Fighters operate so here we're seeing Fighters uh one soldier down on the ground there and another one across from him we're seeing a fighter put up a yasine with a uh with an F7 fragmentation Warhead this is a North Korean Warhead here we're seeing one two three soldiers sitting down we we know that there's two more on the other side of the street because we saw it from the previous angle um and now we're seeing Kasam from across the street fire this weapon that is a fragmentation device the device ism is intended to be an area weapon um it's it's it explodes and blasts shrapnel um over a wide a area so all of these soldiers that you're looking at right here are in really bad shape um whether they could be part of those dozens of medevacs that happened this week um is unclear Israel didn't claim casualties um in zetune um at all even though I think I'm going to show you half a dozen before this is over but even just look at that the surveillance they're getting surveillance from the building that the soldiers leaning against from the building the solders leaning against they're inside that building they pop their head up and there's no building between them they're on the street they're on the street that the soldiers are on the soldiers for whatever reason believe they're safe Fighters presumably coming up through tunnels um and hitting them with that device which is a devastating a devastating device uh that's an 885mm F7 fragmentation Warhead that is designed to do exactly what it just did there so um here's another good shot of you can see the weapon there with the with the red with the red band and when you see the the single shot um the single the non-tandem Warhead with the single red band around it that's the fragmentation device it's an anti-personnel device they fire that at troops um rather than firing that at the armored Vehicles which they have other devices for so number 12 Tomar is sel KS um in zetune versus tanks and bulldozers here you can see the barrel of the tank facing down the cameraman as always um they're skilled but it's hard to it it the courage is incredible um but it matches with the skill and that's what makes it such an impressive combination because uh you could be brave and die um and not carry out your operation um being brave and skilled that is that's the deadly combination so here again see it you could see the tank Barrel literally staring you right between the eyes um this fighter Waits you can see the two do you see the two soldiers heads popping out there we'll let it go one more time next time when you look back you'll see the two heads of the soldiers popping out of their uh their hatches um and it's hit off the wall um in behind and sprayed again shrapnel all over those all over those troops these are serious seriously wounded troops um again the barrel right between the eyes of the of the cameraman there um and then here that shot you see the two heads popping up there they focus on the one head but there's actually two two heads above uh in the tank there's a bunch of reasons why in the tanks and Troop carriers They Ride outside one of them is because it's hot um one of them they they believe that they're safe I I don't they believe that they're safe in these areas that there's a a really firm record of them not being safe let's go to 14b tomorrow the still so this is a this is a a a part mark 80 series bombs these are the bombs that we were just talking with with Ali about these are from after World War II so these are 70y old bombs um that basically haven't changed um in that time what has changed is they get fitted with more advanced GPS tracking systems to make them smart bombs you're looking there as a dumb bomb in vernacular um in military vernacular um and you can see how big it is the size uh in comparison to everything that's around it it's multiple humans tall it's thick and heavy it's 2,000 pounds it's not always easy without um a direct scale to compare it to which there 2,000 and which is the 1,000 they're both enormous U bombs um but that looks to me like a 2,000 pound bomb and these are all over Gaza they have something like a six six to 8% dud rate I mean these are are classified numbers but uh you can imagine the Israelis are at 40,000 air strikes so six to8 dud rate percentage on 40,000 air strikes there's a lot of these weapons all over Gaza they're extremely dangerous um of course they're all littered through people's homes because sometimes they land in your home and and get stuck down from the second floor third floor down to the second floor and you just have this massive missile that will blow up um an entire like virtually an entire city block radius um of Devastation and so these are all over Gaza and these These are the weapons that uh Kasam cuts open and just removes the TNT the high explosive U the highest explosive um uh explosive mix um that's mostly TNT um and it's and that's about half the of each of these so if that's a 2,000 pound bomb it's just short I think it's 40% uh for the 2,000 pound bomb um so you're getting like 850 pounds of TNT it's just it's an incredible amount to remake weapons um and then you just have dozens of these all over the place and kassam Crews will come and take these they'll remove them safely from the community as a community part of their governance uh and then they'll take them and give them on to the Cass Bri Gades who will uh repurpose them reuse the explosives um and have another generation and a half of armaments to fight with because of the the brutality of of this war like the 2014 War gave them enough to fight for more than a decade with the weapons dropped in 2014 and 2014 was surpassed by this war in days in the first days because Israel was dropping 2, 1,000lb bombs primarily um in those first days uh of the war that we remember were so brutal when they bombed the downtown core of Gaza City people hadn't evacuated yet um and they were killing um killing tens of thousands of people they killed 10,000 people in the first uh week and a half of the war okay so these are lying all over the place you see what it looks like it's big uh it's available it's difficult to move without gear because it weighs so much so because they don't have any um heavy lifting gear which is the reason why it's difficult to dig people out of the ruins of their houses that are dropped on top of them and why you see people doing it with their bare hands is because the civil defense equipment has been systematically targeted by Israel throughout the war so that they can't do that um so in this case let's go to 14 um here we're going to watch sod's engineering unit um that's an efp that's the same as a shaah that's the Sara version of it that's an anti um that unidirectional uh anti- armor um weapon that they're linking up there and they're going to show you a third type which looks similar to the gorilla action device that the um the cassam Bri Gades use you can see them adding the fuses to these weapons so we're watching the engineering unit putting these bombs together um these homemade bombs together now we see them go outside and they're burying this one they're setting up a Minefield here so they're setting up this is not just a single attack this is a a really well choreographed orchestrated um uh method he's writing here he's writing a quranic uh verse that says Return to Sender um and then you see the um they're tracking the the column they track what route they take and then they set up on that route um so this is a kind of operation that may take two or three weeks to unfold and there you see it being detonated um because we saw incredible amount of ammunition that now now we're seeing tank parts um we will see a lot more of these tank parts we are seeing a lot of these tank parts um as civilians go back uh to their homes in Gaza because the Israelis blew up many of them that they didn't retrieve um and so you can see clear tank parts that's the slat armor there um not sure what that is but it's a brace from the tank there you see the track um and S cuds has thrown their headband on that as a uh to claim to claim it um there you see more tread there and you can see the evacuation um the stretchers now you're seeing their electronics that were blown out of the vehicle let's go one more time with this one tomorrow cuz I want to show just how many weapons they use so they use this efp they link this one up this is the devastating device that Kasam just used against the tank um and watch when they stick these uh devices together he's going to put the efp the explosively formed penetrator he's going to put that right at the tip of the 2,000lb unexploded bomb to aim the efp at the tip of the weapon to detonate um to puncture the metal casing that it's in and to detonate the weapon this is the Minefield the Minefield happens on both sides of the road um it happens at different times so the it you don't walk into one and it's just as spectacular all the bombs go off at once U there you saw the efp that was the efp being placed on the front and there it is again you can see them doing they're they're showing it really quickly but um you can see them doing that there um so the Minefield is is is detonated not all at once it's detonated in parts and the way that it's effective is to do it in parts and not all at once because you hit them um you get them disoriented um and then you hit them again and then you let time pass and then you hit them again when they're getting uh when they're getting when more troops show up up to help the troops um that are as you can see obviously in tough where their vehicles don't have the very critical parts of the tank are on the side of the road and then you hit them again so the they're multi-layered uh multi-layered Mine Fields um and ambushes um yeah and I pulled from The New York Times Just For People Israel makes its own versions of these bombs the New York Times says but export data suggests that theany purchase almost all of its bombs from the United States through an annual $3.1 billion Grant of American taxpayer money in the first two weeks of the war roughly 90% of the Munitions Israel dropped on Gaza were satellite guided bombs of 1,000 to 2,000 pounds according to senior military officials so this is the primary weapon that they're using they're using it a lot that was just early in the war they've been using them all through the war um and it's the reason why there's just such outrageous Carnage in Gaza and even uh even the American forces American forces don't use th pound and 2,000 pound bombs in the cities they didn't use them in Iraq they didn't use them at Afghanistan occasionally they might have used them on a mountain site in Afghanistan but they're not dropping these bombs on Cabell or or Baghdad and that's not to say anything about American troops and their uh following laws we know they killed hundreds of thousands if not Millions um of Iraqis but they didn't do it by dropping these massive ordinances on the cities so um let's look at number 16 here because this is nsar Rim Corridor this is the corridor that needs to be uh guarded for the pier project that the Americans are attempting what a it's humanitarian theater but they're uh attempting to uh to do that theater um this is the corridor this is southwest of Gaza City so this is right near the water this is right near this is the security detail for those guys on the port you can see the Israeli flag on the back of his uh at the back of his tank there you can see the uh the Al goul cassam brigades Al goul sniper 50cal sniper you can see him waiting to pick his targets one of these guys is going to climb up on the back of the tank here you'll see um and the second Guy waits down at the bottom and you again you can go to my Twitter feed at uh John Almer J NM R like it says right on the screen there you can go to Twitter and find all of these videos in full because uh we have to edit with imagination in any case the soldier did not make it that Soldier did not make it you do not get hit by a 50 cal bullet it's an antimaterial weapon it's designed to to destroy the engine block of a light armored vehicle um it's designed to be shot at um ordinance to explode it like the Americans did in Iraq it's uh it's a wicked weapon with a massive round um humans body armor uh there was a video just from today that we'll have on the show next week where he the Kasam sniper kills two people with one bullet because the bullet clean goes clean through the guy with his protective Gear with his plates goes right through him and kills the guy behind him as well so these are devastating weapons that are being used along this Corridor uh constantly being used to con all the corridors constantly and there's no shortage of these these weapons don't run out they we saw Kasam building their own bullets they make an armor piercing round they make an armor piercing incendiary round and they make a regular ball head uh round for these weapons uh we saw the incendiary armor-piercing incendiary be used last week on the soldier that um notably set him on fire thanks for watching this video please subscribe to our YouTube channel hit like leave a comment
