Palestinians defeat Israeli armored vehicles, with Jon Elmer

go maybe uh to number three here tomorrow because this is another type of operation that the cassam all of these videos from the last week all of them from the Battle of zetune um and here we see uh the cassam Bri Gades monitoring uh an IDF armored unit and underground setting excuse me setting a shuah device underground remotely detonated um the fighters are safe in a tunnel um and detonating above ground um against an Israeli force and we're seeing now uh pictures from the area showing smoke from the burning vehicles that were hit by that Ambush um and again this is something that the tunnels are able to do you can stack uh Munitions inside the tunnels and detonate them um you can also lure um the Israelis into booby trapped buildings which is what happened yesterday in con yunes when the israelies uh admitted to 13 casualties in a booby trap tunnel uh in conun and we haven't seen a lot of tunnel operations and as I said earlier on in the war the only way that the Israelis are going to uh achieve their goals that they set out for Gaza is if we see a lot of underground operations uh because we know that there's hundreds of kilometers of tunnels um that the Palestinians are using well yesterday the Israelis said that they just finished closing off the tunnel that we showed you on this program in early December the tunnel in the North um the attack tunnel that was so large that cars were driving through it um the Israelis Only Yesterday finished with concrete uh with explosives sealing that tunnel um whatever that is three full months later and that gives you a sense of how uh challenging a task it is and how we're not seeing that happening uh throughout the Gaza Strip because the tunnel that they closed uh in the north um that tunnel is not in a builtup area so the Israelis were actually able to work in that area um relative uh in relative Freedom compared to the other places that they would have to operate to to contain this tunnel Network um and so we're you know we heard of course they were going to flood the tunnels we haven't heard much about that because it obviously doesn't work um and we know from this tunnel example in the north that it takes them months to just close a single tunnel and they don't they're not closing in The Roots into that tunnel we know that the um from the Israeli captives that have been released that the tunnel Network um in Gaza is effectively a spiderweb it's not uh straight corridors between um two places so you can see the fighters wiring in this video here uh below ground and now they're seeing a cameraman above ground and again we're seeing in these operations multiple levels of communication and then these videos are released are being being released uh immediately to the public um so we're not seeing anything like the comms Network being shut down during this massive operation into zetune so let's go to the next one here tomorrow because we have another way um that Palestinians are setting bombs this is a shawas above ground uh this is an explosively formed penetrator um which is used against armored vehicles we can see a fighter here moving to an embankment that the Israelis have created on this street in order to protect their armored vehicle corridors and we see a fighter moving with the shawah device um out to the roadside and then Fighters above ground watching from a window as the device is set off uh against um um Israeli armored Corridor uh uh armored columns and if we watch just one more time when we're going through we can see this at 10 seconds of this video here um you can see if you look at the building that's ahead there that building is still smoking um so these are active uh battlefields that the Palestinians are operating on and the Israelis are believing that by um sending a belt of fire in advance of their armored vehicles that they're preventing the resistance uh from operating but it's clear from these videos that that's not the case um instead they're ending up targeting civilians that are in these homes um not the fighters that are uh participating in this uh in this battle and the battle of zetune um was a division level battle it was more than 10,000 Israeli soldiers invading um Gaza City in an area that the Israelis said that they had already cleared Kasam fighters from and they needed 10,000 soldiers and a two we operation um and and according to their objectives of digging up the tunnel Network that splits the Gaza Strip uh that carries from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip they weren't able to carry out that operation of uh that tunnel operation so it appears that the resistance in zetune prevented that and the Israelis withdrew uh on the weekend and that's when we saw um what Nora was reporting on at the beginning of this show um the brutal atrocities of U killing Palestinian civilians who are bound um to by uh with handcuffs bound uh and then run over while Alive by tanks um just horrific horrific finds that are hap that we see we only see in zetum because the Israelis pulled out these Horrors are waiting in in places that people haven't come back home to um which is a whole other level of this conflict that we are going to see once U the Israelis pull back and Palestinians are allowed to go back to their homes um the murder of civilians that we've um you know that Norah documented in the news report really well let's do number five here tomorrow so this is is a SEL kuds operation you can see them watching an armored bulldozer here from I don't know how for people that are listening we're looking at an armored bulldozer that's only feet uh away from the fighters um and here we have uh SEL kuds the armed wing of Islamic Jihad we can see this unit and one of the things about the SEL K's videos is that they tend to follow uh the the fighters longer than the Kasam videos which are more tightly edited so we actually can see the fighters move from their um positions inside a house where they monitored the bulldozzer and then exit the house safely moving through walls moving under brush and then attacking that vehicle that they were right beside in the building from an angle um that's more advantageous than firing from the position they were in all of these things um pointing to again the there there doesn't appear to be any degradation to the overall operation of the resistance and now we're watching uh an Islamic Jihad fighter a set of Fighters here laying a mine field um using various types of explosives moving through the rubble that Israel believes because they've destroyed this building um that it's no longer of military purpose but the fighters are using it using the undergrowth um and wiring and the fighter here is holding what looks to be a Claymore Mine which is an anti-personnel mine um that would be used within the Minefield and you can see the fighter here burying this roadside bomb in the foliage uh and and creating um a Minefield and so we've seen this in the field reports when the fighters talk about minefields and detonating minefields among um Israeli forces but this is one of the First videos that we've actually seen them um uh the detail that goes into laying um that operation and again you can see that they're they start this operation within feet of the Israeli troops so there's nothing like clearing which is what the term that the Israelis use um that they're clearing these areas there's um clearly that's not the case um and we can see with this significant uh roadside charge that's laid here um you can see the fighters here we're watching them climb out the windows stay along the walls for protection against the drones um that are constantly watching from the air we're seeing them now move through holes in buildings that they've knocked out Mouse holes to uh to move around and then he'll move into the street here and fire and maybe we can switch to the next one after he fires here tomorrow The Fighter moves it's unclear uh the result of that now we're seeing here is a cassam tunnel operation in Zune and we're seeing the fighter poke the last foot of uh of top soil off and expose the attack tunnel here and he pops up for people listening um within again 25 ft of an armored vehicle um and fires a yasine at him and so this is an interesting uh view we've seen a number of these tunnel operations but we can see W with this footage the last that they don't dig these tunnels until they're ready to be used in the operation once the Israeli position is set they can see through their tunnel Network which they have met and the Israelis have not um and see where the best place to to uh exit the tunnel to attack um Israeli forces and this is something that you see in um in all kinds of Israeli uh field reports of their own talking about Fighters coming up behind them um coming up through areas that they believed that they had cleared and attacking them from behind um so we're seeing in this battle of zetune a 360 Degrees ambush of Israeli forces and you're seeing it fought in three dimensions you're seeing it fought from above uh with Shooters using elevated positions to fire from above you're seeing them attack on the ground level um and now we're seeing them attacking um underground using the attack tunnel which is covered um and then the Israelis have the decision once this tunnel has hit this tank which is too close for the Tank's active protection system to engage so all of the vaunted Israeli technical superiority um is nullified by the Palestinians ability to use tunnels um and to use their homemade um uh RPG rounds um that are still not showing any sign um of depleted resources this is Israel reinvading Gaza City after two months and the fighters in Gaza City are still showing up with the same weapons using appropriate weapons for the situation there doesn't appear to be any shortage of these in these videos that we're watching and again these videos that I'm showing you today are all from the past week we're still covering um just the uh day-to-day uh battle on the ground once the uh the ceasefire takes hold we can maybe rearrange some of these videos and show them in themes but um at this point we're still covering the day-to-day um resistance so we can see a tank hit there and we saw footage we won't show it uh on our show to keep these videos up but we saw footage leaked today or uh shown by the Israelis on their Tik Tok channels um of a a Yasin round penetrating one of their armored vehicles and clearly very seriously wounded soldiers uh inside U those vehicles and so the vehicles are being penetrated by uh these rounds especially in the case that we're seeing here with something that is um so close and again the fighters are returning to their base safely these are not martyrdom missions maybe we can go to number seven here tomorrow because we see the Yasin being used in all different ways again the using the yasine 105 um the most dangerous of their anti-tank weapons light portable easy to use um and we're seeing them use the undergrowth here we're watching them walk between buildings through holes in the buildings and coming out in firing positions this one looks like it's about a 100 feet uh away from the uh from the vehicle and you can see there the Yassin round flying through the air so they've got cameraman multiple yasine Shooters um carrying out ambushes with these weapons that are um that clearly do damage here we're watching a marava 4 tank um and a tandem 85 be fired at that and we see it being fired down um the alleyway of this street which prevents the radar system um that you can see there on the side of the tank the uh trophy active protection system requires radar to find the incoming round and and respond to it by firing out when you're firing between buildings when you're firing from under the uh foliage or what we're looking at here uh firing from the uh blown out wall of a building uh that has coverage on it uh it takes longer for the radar to pick that up and you can see in that clip the yasen round go flying past so we're seeing multiple Shooters and cameramen uh involved in these operations we're watching them move through walls which is something we've seen uh throughout this battle and the longer uh the Israelis operate in this area the more ability the indigenous fighters who live in this neighborhood otherwise um are able to navigate the destruction that Israel has caused which amounts to and we've talked about this on other programs uh as well it amounts to military vandalism what's happening because they're not removing the military um efficacy of these buildings that we're watching we're watching Fighters firing out of buildings that have been tank shelled uh but the building is still standing there's no military purpose to it and as you can see on the Israeli Tik Tock videos um when they're celebrating and cheering over this they're not they're not picking military targets and then uh all cheering they're picking uh soft targets and blowing up things uh in their videos that don't have anything to do with the battle um and as you can see in these videos there be the battle space that they've created through this destruction um is then used by the Palestinians to attack them um maybe we go to the next one then tomorrow so again we're not seeing random pot shots we're not seeing uh the remnants of the resistance we're still seeing these groups fighting in their formations all the resistance groups filed reports throughout the battle uh in zetune were watching largely Kasam and sods because of the qu uh qualitative nature of their attacks um they have more Fighters and better equipment um and we're watching here a video of an RPG being fired by Sariah Al kuds literally over the kitchen sink um and somebody the Israelis have just shelled that wall out of the house um and this is what when we're talking about partially destroyed houses that's not a partially destroyed house even though in the UN reports that would be considered a partially destroyed house um when your Wall's been taken out of your kitchen um your house isn't partially destroyed and here we see a s kods fighter using a a loophole uh knocked out of the wall to fire RPGs um multiple Fighters and we can see in this video multiple Fighters with RPG so we're seeing RPG ambushes um that are taking place multiple shots at the same vehicle which again um because of the active protection system it's difficult for it to reload fast enough to deal with a second round incoming um also the armor of the vehicles if they're hit once um are significantly weakened for a second round so what we're seeing here is saral KS firing multiple uh rounds of their RPGs um and we're see single Warheads here and and we're looking at the armored column um of the IDF moving through zetune um during this battle and again it was a division level battle 10,000 soldiers involved in this fight um in an area where they israelies claimed that they had U absolute operational control uh months ago which is just clearly not the case maybe we go to the next one tomorrow number nine um and this is another Kasam operation again Fighters out in the streets and able to move and one of the reasons the fighters are able to move in the streets this way is because the Israeli soldiers are scared to get out of their armored vehicles um and so they have no way of um of containing these kind of operations where a Fighter moves watches the vehicles past them from a safe point in the build in the building and then moves out in the street and hits them from behind in the most vulnerable spot on the armored Vehicles here we're seeing a D9 armored bulldozer being hit um and Israel doesn't say how many armored bulldozers they have um but we do know about their numbers of their other armored vehicles um and we know that we have seen as I reported last week um old armored vehicles m113s that the Israelis had said were taken out of service in uh 2014 and also in um 2004 let's go to the next one here 10 tomarrow this is um Fighters using an elevated position to hit a marava tank here um from a couple hundred feet Max and you can see the two-stage um Warhead there fire the initial Warhead is launched and then the second charge flies out from the initial charge here we're going to watch an armored vehicle flying an Israeli flag um passing the fighters who use a hole in the building to hit the back of the tank before the active protection system can hit can be activated and so that's hitting the back door of their armored vehicle which is what uh the footage from today um showing the Israelis in the back of their armored vehicle uh that's what that looked like a hit from behind because there's multiple soldiers in the AFT uh part of the in the four part of the tank that are don't seem to be injured the people in the back seem to be critically injured in that footage that we're seeing today um again RPG uh Yasin indigenously uh produced clones of an effective anti-tank weapon that we're seeing in numbers um that we've seen throughout the war no indication um of shortages of supplies um no drop in the tenor um and Cadence of uh resistance operations anywhere which has been the case for a hundred years in Palestine anywhere um there's Israelis there's uh resistance anywhere there's Israeli forces there's resistance and whatever the battlefield um uh allows that's where the the the fight takes place sometimes it takes place in the in the form of uh boycotts and and uh General strikes sometimes it takes uh shape of children throwing stones at tanks uh and in Gaza here we're seeing the resistance uh fighting with Palestinian made uh weapons that they have prepared for the battle battle and we're clearly seeing in this video um damage being done you can see the round incoming uh on that Freeze Frame as well and clearly a direct hit um on the back uh of that armored vehicle so um maybe let's go to number 11 here tomorrow because all of these uh operations uh lead to this this is a Namer Troop Carrier cam watching this is the best footage the closest footage we've seen of this of extracting destroyed armored vehicles um that the cassam brigades uh are recording from right up close and you can see um for people listening um you can see the tow chain connecting the armored vehicle and uh extracting the uh The Troop Carrier after it and so we know that the Israelis according to the in uh International Institute for strategic studies military balance which is the the main industry uh mag uh industry journal for uh the arms trade and U for international uh militaries they indicate that the uh Israelis have uh 400 marava markv tanks 700 Mark 3s both of which we've seen in these videos today uh being hit and 200 Namer troop carriers according to cassam figures they fired they've uh carried out 1,00 Yasin uh operation against Israeli armored vehicles more than 900 of them tanks 100 uh troop carriers like we're seeing right there that's one of the hundred um and a 100 armored bulldozers um and at some point um the Israelis aren't able to maintain uh this level of operation it's one of the reasons why they're stalling the operation uh into Rafa they're also rotating their forces out of conun where over the last week There's also battles uh in communis um and so we're seeing um the Israeli military um being forced to uh to repair their gear this gear is not an easy fix you don't just put a metal strip on it and carry on to especially a damage to the hull appear Pierce to the hull is a month's long fix before these vehicles are back um in the field so um these are clearly significant um damage being done and these numbers at some point um uh might explain why we saw the m113s last week in conun although there was a report in Yeo aeronaut U this week that suggested that the m113s might be actually uh uh unmanned um and being used as Weapons shuttles um that that uh that may be the case for those uh m113s that we saw last week on the show because they they were both destroyed completely um so that's a that that's one possibility but the the significant possibility is that the Israelis are are are stretched thin they have forces On the Border uh with Lebanon in the north which they're promising to attack to move um Hezbollah forces off the border the West Bank is preparing for uh Ramadan and is on fire um as I've said multiple times on this show would be called an inapa at any other time there's armed struggle throughout the West Bank that requires Israeli armored vehicles um and then you have the tempo of this operation in Gaza so there's um it's clear that they're uh they're running thin and also need to have a break it's part of the reason why um there's this timeline before Ramadan about the invasion of Rafa so let's go to the last one here tomorrow because this is a Palestinian Fighter um and he's uh about to fire 120 mm uh mortar rounds at the Israelis says we promise Netanyahu who wants to dismantle the cassam brigades that it is us who will dismantle your forces and send your soldiers back home in coffins so we see the Palestinian Fighters communicating and releasing these videos immediately responding to news during uh an intense battle in zetune um and still we're seeing the fighters able to communicate in this way and this video with the Fighter um shows the uh the highlights of that video that I parsed out we're seeing the tank being towed we see the fighters move through holes in the walls um and and you're seeing Fighters communicate and being aware of what's going on in the outside world and responding immediately in some of these videos from Kasam this last week we saw the date written on it and the day of it being released so these videos are being um promptly sent out from their uh information operations arm um and and So based on these videos and what we're seeing on the ground um the operation in zetune wrapped up the Israelis withdrew from zetune and that's when we saw um the horrors that uh that Norah reported on so that's uh that's the resistance uh update from this last week and again every video that I just showed you was from the past week um and we're still there's still more than enough um that that were able to show uh in in these segments so thanks for watching this video please subscribe to our YouTube channel hit like leave a comment these engagements help
