as ever we are going to start with maps to keep you uh all uh grounded in where we're starting we're going to start uh in southern Gaza but just uh a couple notes on previous episodes I brought an update a couple weeks back about the ceasefire talks that were happening in Cairo and Doha um Hamas released a statement on Christmas day that said negotiations for a ceasefire and captive exchange are underway in Doha with Qatari and Egyptian mediation in a serious manner they said Hamas said the movement has shown responsibility and flexibility however the occupation has introduced new issues and new conditions related to withdrawal ceasefire captives and the return of displaced persons which has been delaying the reaching of an agreement that was previously possible so uh Netanyahu uh an Army Radio reported that Netanyahu has brought uh to the table changes that were expected uh that has what that is what Netanyahu has done throughout these uh exchange talks uh ceasefire talks he brings new conditions um to the table at the last minute that are not agreed upon and just to remind people of the standard conditions um Hamas and Cam's conditions and the other factions have all agreed on these conditions and they've been solid uh on these princi principles throughout the entire War um number one is to end the aggression which is an obvious point in a ceasefire um withdraw Israeli forces from the corridors so you're looking at the map there on the screen the corridors are the Philadelphia Corridor that you see along the bottom uh of that map which is the border with Egypt and the narim corridor which is the growing Corridor in the center that divides Gaza City from Central Gaza um so withdraw from the corridors a return to to people's homes in the north um The Prisoner exchange and then the Reconstruction and those have been something that Kasam has been um St has been stated and solid on but what they have been flexible on is the implementation of those principles um the way that they are implemented they could be done um in a timed manner in a timed withdrawal with guarantee es but it's not clear that the Americans can provide those guarantees if Israel says we're going to withdraw in 60 days that the Americans um you know the administration that's given $23 billion just this year alone uh to the genocide in Gaza can can guarantee anything um but Netanyahu in any case brings at the last moment new changes that Scuttle the talks and that's what he has done all along he told the Wall Street Journal uh earlier this week that I'm not going to agree to an end of the war before we remove Hamas and just to remind you of Israel's goals none of which have been achieved in this war were number one to return the captives number two to destroy Kasam which they have failed they have failed to return their captives uh failed to destroy Kasam destroy the Hamas government um they still have not done that um the administration in the Gaza Strip still exists the Health Care system has been dismantled as Norah uh so so well reported um the education system has been dismantled but it's rebuilt it's rebuilt by Palestinians and they're not going to be able to destroy uh Palestinian organization of their own lives um um and number four that Gaza is no longer a threat so return captives destroy Kasam destroy the Hamas government and make Gaza no longer a threat none of those have been achieved so Netanyahu is not going to agree to ceasefire talks when none of when he cannot claim victory in this war the only thing he can claim uh is the total Destruction of Gaza the World Health Organization pointed out the other day that 90% of the population of Gaza live in tents um their homes were system uh systematically destroyed over these past 14 months um and once people were in shelters um uh before their tents the shelters were destroyed uh systematically um one by one destroyed and burned scorched Earth policy on the shelters U that we've been covering and that the Israeli military brags about in their field reports um and of course as Nora so well described in the uh devastating news report they've dismantled the hospital system again hospitals that have already been dismantled are being red dismantled um and those are the only accomplishments that the Israelis have uh in this war the destruction of the civilian population of Gaza and a genocide uh that the whole world has seen live streamed now for 14 months if we look at map number two we zoom in on Rafa you can get a better sense of the Philadelphia Corridor um this is the corridor that um Netanyahu says they cannot give up back in the summer he said that this was critical um to stop weapons shipments to Gaza but of course anyone's been following the resistance report for the last 15 months knows that it's not imported weapons that have been uh underpinning this struggle for the Palestinians over the last 15 months it's indigenous manufactured weapons that the Palestinians have made themselves inside the Gaza Strip so that they're not dependent on uh changes in international um in international actors or access or or something like cutting off the Philadelphia Corridor which um I highly doubt the Philadelphia corridor is cut off um the Israelis have talked about uh tunnels On the Border um that they uh dismantled but all those tunnels were commercial tunnels they're very close to the Border um there's almost certainly deeper tunnels that they're not um involved in in anywhere in Gaza into the deeper layer the under layer of um the tunnels where the fighters are where their captives are they haven't gone into any of those um and that has been the case for 14 months any tunnels that you hear the Israelis talking about are all within 15 M of the surface and we know that there's tunnels um that go four and five times deeper than that and that is why the uh cassan brigades have been able to continue fighting that's why Israel is unable to return any of their captives and that is the same condition that's going on in the Philadelphia Corridor but this week we're going to focus on conun because well I'll just show you one more thing on the coastline above communist that's where masasi is maasi is the designated safe area that was hit with multiple drone strikes uh this week alone maasi is a tiny um piece of land it's essentially sand dunes um that used to be completely encircled by the gush katif settlement in um that was on the coast line in front of conun um so Palestinians the Israelis say there's 1.9 million pal Palestinians uh in masasi um in those conditions that Abu Bakr was talking about right on the water in the middle of these um damning storms that have been happening um and it's just a brutal situation for Palestinians um the first operation we're going to look at is number three there was uh a Kasam operation another zuari drone operation um you can see the fighters there uh checking the wire fidelity and setting up what is essentially a missile uh with wings uh essentially a miniature cruise missile that's made and you can see it uh with the prayer there sent off uh into the air this is a uh cassam built obviously you could tell by the way it was put together cassam Bell zuari explosive Laden oneway attack drone and the cassam Brigade said that on December 19th at 11:30 a.m. that they targeted the Magan military site with an aluer suicide drone so that's what you're looking at that's a rear base Israeli military base on the other side of the border from con Yunis um and if we look at the next shot you can see this is the first time that we've seen from inside Israel uh Israeli civilian footage showing uh the Zari drone uh in flight and of course we saw lots of that um from Lebanon and also from Anar alah and the yemeni armed forces from Yemen uh but this is the first time we've seen drones overpow Palestine since October 7th uh shot by Israeli civilians and the Israeli military claims they shot that down uh that drone that hundreds of dollar drone was shot down um with an Apache attack helicopter um so again you get the uh this the discrepancy between the weapons Israel is using um and the ones that Palestinians are using indigenously made to defend themselves um and we moved up to the nitar corridor here with the map um I wanted to talk a little bit about this because last week I talked about how uh upsetting it was to redraw the maps and I just want to be clear and not that um I I was upset about it but I don't want to overstate the fact that this does not have to be a permanent um installation and the things that the Israelis are building in the narim corridor it's expanding because of the destruction of all of Gaza so to the north um you can see zetune neighborhood in telawa um and to the South the narat camp um the Israelis are calling the narim corridor they're now calling it the beri corridor for Kitz ber which is on the other side of the Border it's called narim Corridor uh in our language because it's the name of what it used to be when there was the narim settlement in the center of Gaza that was a critical settlement to divide Gaza um and effectively have the same purpose when there was Israeli settlements in Gaza um as it serves now to divide the strip in half um and to allow the Israelis to attack from the north and from the south uh into the center uh of the camp so uh there was a couple articles this week um if we look at the next map there was a map there was an article in the uh in in haritz about uh how this area had become a Kill Zone and um the line of contact which is what what I said was expanding Maxwell updated the maps for us to show the expansion of the narim corridor since the original Maps we created early on in the war but you can see by the U this haritz map that went along with a brutal story that I'm not going to read from because it's just a a Litany of war crimes um by the Israeli military but the edges of the corridor are called the line of contact UM that is the outer edge of the nsim Corridor and haritz uh talks about the line of contact and they interview soldiers from the 252nd division um that refer to the line of contact as the line of dead bodies um it says when pal while Palestinians are officially prohibited from entering the reality is more severe than a simple exclusion Zone its quote military whitewashing explains a senior officer in division 252 uh who has served three rotations in the Gaza three rotations in Gaza the division Commander designated this area a Kill Zone the senior officer said anyone who enters is shot um recently discharged division 252 officer describes the arbitrary nature of the boundary for the division the Kill Zone extends as far as a sniper can see but because but the issue goes beyond geography we're killing civilians there who and then were counting them as terrorists the IDF spokesperson's unit casual numbers have turned into a competition between units if division 99 kills 150 the next unit aims to kill 200 so this is just uh further uh proof from the Israeli military of what I've been describing to you uh for the last 14 months about the ridiculous nature of Israeli casualty uh figures of Fighters because they'll say we killed 200 we killed 250 Fighters overnight um there's no indication that the Palestinian um resistance is losing 250 fighters in a night in this harat's article that goes with this map that you're seeing um they show you that they're counting civilians they're counting um non-existent uh Fighters um uh in their body counts to try to rack up a number that's then used by Netanyahu to say 20,000 Kasam Fighters have been killed which is not true and were it to be true would be a more interesting story um than just that 20,000 had been killed because it would mean that the Cassandra Gades are clearly regenerating themselves uh to be able to continue fighting so it's just sort of layers on layers um uh of propaganda that we're seeing so uh the one thing that I wanted to point out on this map is that you can see the corridor is the road Street 10 that runs through the area and you can see the military positions are all along that road so the expansion of the corridor doesn't correspond to any military positions it's actually just uh indicative of destroyed buildings uh on the outside so if we look at the next one tomorrow you can see uh it in English they're pointing to the um to the positions you can see the positions are all right along the original narim Corridor and all of these positions even the Israeli military admitted it in this story to the New York Times all of these positions can be taken up in an hour they're pillbox um military bases which means slabs of concrete that are put in place um these can be removed in hours literally we watched I reported from uh Gaza during the disengagement when Israel left Gaza um and they up and left Gaza in um a day and a half is what it took to to actually leave Gaza um so the narim corridor if they if Israel believed in a ceasefire negotiation and cared about getting their prisoners back um the nerim corridor should not be a problem to that it could be pulled up as easily um as the settlements were although the destruction is just criminal and entire Villages are uh erased um in creating this thousands of homes destroyed U and fertile land in Wadi Gaza in the Gaza Valley um is fertile uh Farmland where um all those crops have all been destroyed those homes those villages all have to be completely rebuilt um but that's the narim corridor divide and Gaza Israel to in order to facilitate the ceasefire agreement that Hamas will accept uh Israel has to leave the Philadelphia Corridor and the nsar rim Corridor those both those things have to happen um I would be extremely surprised if there's an exchange without uh those two conditions those like I said the flexibility might be on the timeline um but not on the principle of leaving no Palestinian leadership can accept the occupation of the Gaza Strip and no American one can either they've been promising that since the beginning of the war that there couldn't be any territorial changes to Gaza um but all their red lines have been blown through and proved to be um nothing but words so we'll have to stay on this story but that's where we are with the ceasefire agreement and the two corridors that are at the heart of it um but in the narim corridor there's been a number of operations if we look at number seven um the Israeli military here we see an m113 this is these robot m113s they have hundreds they have thousands of them that were given to them by the Americans and you could see on the top um of that one that it had an elbit uh remote control system that operates them they use them as car bombs um here a Fighters emerging um and Seas we're going to note this tank has both uh crew members presumably the Gunner and the uh Commander both outside the hatches for that Yasin strike from up close um in this is in narat um the Israel is attacked from uh the north you can see there on the top of the m113 that is the remote uh control device that elit has retrofitted to make these into remote control bombs in the field report Kasam said they got that m113 before getting this tank um with the two crewmen riding outside um narat is hasn't been um I mean you can see the destruction all around there this is the the an area of the middle camps that Israel hasn't occupied militarily um they've destroyed it by shelling it which you can clearly see there they've destroyed it by shelling it and with air strikes and of course if people remember back in the summer there was a raid there to capture to uh for Israel to get three of their captives back when they carried out the narat massacre 276 Palestinians were killed 700 wounded uh in the operation to rescue three um the only three uh Israeli captives that have been uh freed so that is an operation that carries out from the narim corridor allowing the Israelis to move into the center and attack down in order to attack narat without the narim corridor Israel would have to Traverse the land uh across from the east from the border to the east which makes their troops much more uh susceptible to uh resistance attack so the narim corridor you're watching it there be used um and a number of casualties the Israelis claim two casualties uh in the narim corridor they didn't say under the circumstances but you could be pretty sure that you just watched them there considering uh the two tank crew riding outside number eight in uh the same operation Kasam was able to capture a drone and I got a bunch of questions about these drones these drones are just commercial drones this the one that you're looking at here this is a matrice uh drone it's a g drone Chinese company but you can see it's holding a an Israeli uh hand grenade so this army with 500 fighter jets bombing constantly is dropping hand grenades from from these and you can see this device there I translated it for you it's got a grenade launcher on the actual drone so um they use these um Nora talks about them in the news report every day sometimes they have grenade launchers sometimes they carry guns sometimes they carry speakers that have crying babies or try to draw people out um with voices um to try to draw people out into the streets to be shot by these same drones so Kasam captured one that was one of eight captured drones since you last saw me and again just to point out all these operations uh happened since you last saw me we're still doing that um number nine um the narim corridor is daily the subject of artillery strikes by The Joint operations room that's pointing out the headquarters of the Infantry Brigade um that is positioned along the 99th uh or that's part of the 99th division at the moment the 99th division is in the corridor so the fighter have uh the ability to Target consistently along this line and their targeting gets more accurate the more they fire um and you can see in this video here by S kuds that they are hitting with mortars um the intended targets and they're going to show um you're going to see after this mortar round um a military ambulance leaving from the uh infantry position along the base and you can see it driving there along the bottom of the screen it's identified there in the red that's a military ambulance and you can see it's driving with urgency after that operation that's one of 12 um operations by The Joint operations room uh targeting the Nim Corridor in the last week and a half since you saw us last and number 10 is another one a joint operation a lot of these operations are joint operations you can see KS and the alaxa martyrs brigades of fata who are aligned with the Palestinian Authority and the commander of this operation says um he critiques the Palestinian Authority security cooperation in Janine and he says that the operation in Janine by the Palestinian Authority is political suicide for the Palestinian national movement so that's the alaxa Martyr brigades fataa aligned um critiquing their own party um and the operation in Janine that is now 2 weeks old uh and effectively a Siege you're seeing 107 mm rocket artillery here again we see the martyrs uh previous Martyrs U on uh pictured on the controller just like we see in the West Bank pictured on their guns uh or on their lockets you see kids with Martyrs on their lockets um because at this point in the war everybody has been touched by death um and they all mark it you could see on the wall of this operation as well fatti shikaki who is the uh founder of um Islamic Jihad so I just wanted to bring some news from the narim corridor uh we don't get to do that every week but uh this week we will do that now we'll head up north where the uh vast majority of the operations have been taking place of course um and focusing in on the north um b lahia b hanon uh jabalia camp and jabalia have been the for focus of the operation um the main focus has been dividing B hanon and B lahia from the jabalia camp which is camel adwan is actually in B lahia they they're calling it um the Israelis celebrated the sacking of camel adwan Hospital saying that it was the last Hamas Bastion in jabalia which is we're going to find out over the next weeks and months is absolutely not true it's a civilian hospital that was dismantled in the same way as all the 36 other hospitals that were dismantled and it was a brutal week um to be watching Israel do that carrying out that those at ities um but that's the main point is cutting off uh B lahia banon from the jabalia camp and jabalia all of that from B lahia jabalia camp jabalia and Gaza City it's all one contiguous population if you're driving you don't know when you're leaving one area and entering the other it's all an urban builtup area that's all being targeted uh and destroyed um uh I I'll bring I'll bring banoon back in so keep an eye on where banon is in the upper uh east corner there because uh that was the first place that the Israelis invaded and they have now invaded again after camel adwan Hospital they're going for banoon but let's look at number 21 here and maybe I'll get tomorrow to throw my Twitter up on the ticker because you're going to need uh to go to my Twitter for these ones because following the guidelines of the Twitter of the YouTube um Community guidelines which we follow uh dilig gently by uh blocking out pixel masking uh the soldiers as you can see here these this was a sniper operation an Al goul sniper operation West uh of jabalia um west of the city of jabalia and this was one of six sniper operations and one of 60 operations that took place in the 10 days since you last saw me reporting the resistance report um number 22 is another sniper operation um you can see the tank crew on top of their n Troop Carrier here and you can see those two boxes they look almost like fans they might be speakers on the top um the this this Al goul shot you can actually watch you can see the heat uh Distortion of the round being fired and it hits uh right on the triangle guy there um but it hits the Box in front but as I've shown you the size of the round um of the AL goul round and it goes clean through those the Israelis admitted that a tank commander in the 401st armored Brigade ninth Battalion was seriously wounded by sniper fire in Northern Gaza so that's what we are looking at uh in this case here and number 23 is another one um this was one of these operations that um sure looked like uh two for one uh two hits two birds with one stone uh Two Soldiers with one round um the is iselis later admitted an IDF officer was killed during fighting in Northern Gaza earlier today um they named the slain Soldier he was a platoon commander in the multi- multi-domain unit that's their ghost unit Special Forces Unit and another soldier in the unit was seriously wounded in the same event um so it sounds like it's not always easy to uh cross reference and of course Israel covers up their casualties um but in some circumstances you can uh you can uh cross reference them and I believe that that's what we've got there uh so I brought that to you number 24 is interesting this was from a tank commander um in the Israeli military who uh brought this out of Gaza at the end of November and he said that uh throughout his tour in Gaza that the uh Kasam snipers were firing on the trophy active protection system you can see there uh is that's what you're looking at there is the trophy Act of protection system um that fires uh an anti um anti-missile missile out uh Works more like a shotgun blast but um it fires am munition out of that uh system there and um the tank commander pointed out that there's a concerted effort by the resistance to fire on these a these active Protection Systems in an attempt to dismantle them um and and possibly to have them the um to to detonate the round that's inside them but that's just something to keep an eye on um that was brought from an Israeli tank commander that I wanted to share with you guys because um we don't we haven't seen that um but it's obviously happening and something we'll keep our eyes uh peeled for and number 25 we've got two of the six um tanks and apcs that were hit by Yassin fire still Yasin fire um still operations with the Asen um this week alone there was three tanks three apcs and thermobaric Warheads versus six positions um so we're seeing this in this is in Western jabalia um jabalia is in circled so we are getting operations on the east side and on the West Side um so there's that in that shot right there that's the tank the marava being hit and then you're going to see uh the second scene is the ner there he's backing up putting up a smoke screen to try to uh cover himself but you can see that he's hit right there you can see the blast wave um from being hit through the smoke screen there so that uh is two more number 26 um we got a fighter here uh making tea making some shy for his for his fellas he says this is a message directed at the leaders of the occupation Army which is a failure and a and of weak character your forces in the resilient Northern Gaza without goals or achievement except for the killing of civilians and demolishing residential neighborhoods and the Army is less than 800 meters away from me right now we're not afraid after the thousands of tons of explosives you've dropped on our civilians and on our people we place our trust in God and here you see The Fighter um putting the uh putting the thermobaric Warhead together and now you see the fighter out in the devastated Terrain no way to see that fighter he's able to move into position through the destruction of people's homes it's just appalling what we're watching there's not really any words for it um but now we're seeing it from a second angle he's going to get into position and you're going to see a direct hit on a troop position with a thermobaric warhead which is a fuel air explosion so once the uh once the round enters that room it's not a good place to be it's not something that you want to have happen again fighting in the Des um devastated terrain Warfare there this is one of six thermobaric Warhead operations that happened um just since you last saw me and number 27 um we have a detailed operation by SEL kuds here we're watching Drone footage from the Israelis this is an Israeli drone uh looking in here and this drone was then captured by S kuds they put up on the screen here that we uh are watching Israeli Drone footage from the 14th from the 21st of September and you can see that this is Israeli Drone footage and then sods captures that Drone footage and this Commander is describing how they use that captured Drone footage with all of the uh Israeli positions on it and where the um the Drone is landed with the crew um they can they got they gleaned significant information they matched that what they got on the captured drone with their field reconnaissance and set up uh an ambush in this key intersection that the commander is pointing out here that they're going to place explosives in all four uh of the exits of this key intersection and it's interesting because it's not an intersection per se because the Israelis don't drive on the roads right that's their primary uh concern is that the roads are um have Roadside bomb in them and so they take alternative Roots here you see the fighters planting the explosives they plant multiple type of uh explosives they planted multiple Barrel bombs um and um um explosively form penetrators efps which are devastating weapons um for the armored vehicles here they're noting uh monitoring the troops you can see in the upper corner there they get the red triangle they're entering the Ambush Zone um that was set up using this there they are again in the uh entering the Ambush Zone we have multiple CCTV cameras they've got cameras outside showing you the positions of the explosive devices that were planted so this is a detailed operation and here this is post detonation um that shows the smoke from the burning armored vehicle but also from the smoke screen that the Israeli military puts up to try to extract their troops um and this was one of 12 IED operations versus tanks and two apcs just since you last saw me and there you go there's the metac always a sign of casualties multiple casualties so a sophisticated operation carried out by S kuds under uh the 70 days 80 days into the siege they're still able to carry out these operations um and they're also able to continue firing Rockets uh from that territory I'll get to that that in a moment after number 28 because this is another uh detailed Ambush this is the hunting of the snakes Ambush by Kasam um this is a multiple IED operation in b lahia um just south of Bahia um the hunting of snakes uh Ambush the talk about here how they lured the the the force of snakes you can see there's the tar the Ambush zone They lured the force into a tight Ambush is what the text told you you can see here those are the two positions of the IEDs I edited a little bit this out but there's 15 soldiers that come in here uh looking around the Israelis said that they haven't been operating in this area uh before and since the beginning of the war so they're looking around uh and exiting and there's their other type of drone they use that's an AATA a g AATA um that's an Israeli drone you can see I froze it in the ER corner there um got a bunch of questions in the question answer show about drones um that's the most common drone that they use and they're um they're with they're on a unit level they're just in the solders backpacks you can see the soldiers up there in the on the left side of the screen so they're driving their drones from like you know tens of feet uh tens of meters away and they use those drones the avadas have rotor covers um on them so they come inside um and are they'll case a house using it and that's what we saw there so those two Israeli soldiers are standing right in front of the IED um that's what the they're pointing out and the no video cuts the explosion goes off and these guys run uh for safety to take up outer positions but cassan points you to this picture 2 4 6 8 10 12 soldiers in this Ambush Zone um that were hit and the Israeli military um only acknowledged three killed in this operation and several severely wounded um but they're showing the the detonating of the multiple devices on the one side and on the other and then they posted this I blurred out the soldiers faces um I don't know why we have to do that the um I don't think we should have to do that the Israeli military put their faces out but Kasam took from the IDF web site their three faces and then put question marks um and basically said the enemy hides its true C its true losses you know question mark where's the others we saw the 14 of them standing there side by side um Kasam says due to the security situation full details of the operation are not disclosed at the moment at the moment but more will come soon so that was a detailed operation that the Israelis themselves admitted to uh falling into they said Army Radio report from the IDF said that the attacking Force entered an alley where the first IED exploded on the soldiers three soldiers fell from this IED um and another Soldier was seriously wounded a short time later another Force arrived in the area um and the second bomb exploded there were no casualties from this bomb is what they said even though we saw clearly both of the units uh arrived at the same time or run right after each other um so you do get these kernels of truth um but this is where um Kasam is saying where's the rest of um the casualties um and Abu abeda on that same day um of this operation said the heroism of our Kasam Fighters and the performance on the Northern front of the Gaza Strip serves as an inspiring model for all free people of the world the enemy conceals its true losses and the dire condition of its soldiers in the north to preserve the image of its Army and to preserve its morale the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Northern Gaza is the target is to Target innocent civilians to cover up the scandals and failures of the Zionist Army the fate of some Army captives uh is tied to the occupation's Advance by hundreds of meters in certain areas uh under attack so that was Abu abeda and I wanted to just bring you this was to the over the last 36 hours the Israeli military pulled the nahal Brigade off the Philadelphia Corridor replaced them and moved them up to begin an operation in B hananon and the Palestinian resistance greeted that operation by firing uh five rocket barges one deep into Israel that required three Iron Dome interceptions um and the others were rocket barges On the Border um and the troops that were amassing on the border um to carry out this banon operation um so an area that Israel believed that they had operational control over 13 and a half months ago they're coming back to after 80 Days Siege of the north and they're immediately greeted by Rockets both at their troops and behind their lines uh into their population centers so that the whole country of Israel can watch uh their Iron Dome interceptors um these are messages statements by the Palestinians that say we're we're still here we're still able to fire Rockets and the Israeli military uh Communications always uh have shock their correspondents are shocked that they're still able to fire um I just wanted to bring a couple operations from the West Bank too while we while we're here with the resistance report this first operation is in tubas um showing off their makeshift IEDs SEL coulds uh tuas Battalion these operations are all in alfara Camp uh which is just south of tubas um a center of resistance in the northern West Bank um D9 bulldozers in uh multiple two D9 bulldozers were're watching get hit by those IEDs um in alfara Camp this is the second one you can see it move right over top of the planted device many of these devices are planted because Israel punitively ripped up all the roads um and all the water lines to punish Palestinians if we look at 36 we get the same thing this is uh Sarah's taram Brigade um these take operations take place in the um in the tarum camp this is three IEDs versus three D9 armored bulldozers and again these bulldozers are in short supply one of the reasons why Israel wasn't able to um carry out their operations in um in Lebanon is because they were held back um they weren't able to get um through the first defensive lines of Hezbollah um and the need for these bulldozers um was put on display in that situation and they're complaining that the isra the Americans aren't giving them uh their shipment of uh D9 armored bulldozers it's unclear if that's actually the case or if the delay is uh if if the delay is
