Fierce battle in northern Gaza intensifies, with Jon Elmer

as ever we're going to start in Gaza um got a couple Maps just so people get situated I think you're familiar with these Maps now as we uh are 411 days into this uh ongoing crime that uh we can only hope that Justice is served the people that are committing these crimes even just sitting here backstage watching this excellent program that we've put together just enraging uh what's going on and like Ally said even though we're eyeballs deep in this story every single day um it it never would never get used to it it just burn with rage over this so we are going to focus on the resistance so this is the map of Gaza you can see the key corridors that Israel is holding in the South the Philadelphia Corridor which blocks off the main Crossing to the outside world for Palestinians the Rafa Crossing um conun which was the subject of a six-month um destruction campaign Rafa six-month destruction campaign the death of Yahya sinir and Tes sutan uh on the front lines fighting with his commanders briefing his commanders showing that their commanders fight in the same trench in the south of Gaza and we look at the narim corridor we're probably going to have to uh probably going to have to widen the corridor the Israelis have been hard at work uh committing their genocide and ethnic cleansing on the north side of the narim corridor in telawa we saw battles uh through through there uh in previous months and of course in zetune as well to widen the corridor they widened the corridor so much that Netanyahu um the IDF Chief of Staff hery halevi uh the shabbach chief their internal security and the defense minister and top commanders went and gave a press conference on the beach uh in the nerim corridor yesterday and there's a couple interesting points that I want to uh call your attention to Netanyahu very rarely has interesting points but these are two of them so um he of course he uh fawned over his commanders who are committing this brutal genocide uh but he also offered this he said I will also say that we want those um who want to get out of this maze whoever brings us hostages and finds a way to do it uh we will find you safe passage with your family to get out and we will also reward you with $5 million per abductee so he said the choice is yours five million bucks for Palestinians to give up the uh the captives and and that's an interesting thing because the israelies aren't fighting in the tunnels they're not trying to get the captives back they never have been in fact they hunt the captives in the uh examples that the captives had an opportunity um to free themselves they are hunt they were hunted and killed in Shaya um so just uh Netanyahu in the narim corridor and then we look at this map uh C here um of Northern Gaza with the zoom in and we'll focus on what's happening right now because we are now um in the second month of the siege of jabalia the cutting off of banon and B lahia B lahia is not on that map but it's um opposite to uh banoon on the western coast um a lot of fighting in ban in B lahia despite the fact that the Israelis said that there was nobody left there there are people there there are people in jabalia they're not leaving they're not going south they're not going through the corridor into Southern Gaza they're internally displaced inside the north moving from place to place because the shelters are being targeted Aid is delivered there and then the Israeli military surrounds it arrests the men boys anyone over 13 years old um rounds them up as we saw and puts them in um puts them in those trucks that are shipped from the US uh as our previous guest so uh well described more than 2,000 people killed in the jabalia operation 6,000 wounded but we know that those are uh in uh incomplete numbers given the fact that the hospitals have been under siege and are not functioning civil defense not functioning fire trucks ambulances all targeted unable to function uh in the north the brutal situation more than a thousand arrests taken to torture camps um just brutal outcomes of that and the IDF rid ridiculously said the other day that there's 100 operatives remain in Northern Gaza so this is going to be ridiculous I'm going to point that out to you as we go forward uh over the next coming weeks about what 100 operatives looks like because you're going to see uh 60 of them today on these videos as they destroy armored vehicles and require Mar to ship new plates to them so let's start off with number one uh starting off with a bang this was a pretty remarkable operation this fighter says that he's a wounded fighter he's wounded in the Battle of jabalia he's holding a gorilla action device with the magnetic strips on the bottom you can see there gorilla action device is a Yassin 105 Warhead that's adapted to become uh a sticky bomb essentially and he says despite my injury I carry my Warhead towards the enemy towards their tanks um and he he's quoting a shake he says uh put the knife to my neck light my ribs on fire you will not be able to besiege my thoughts or beliefs for a single hour or strip me of my beliefs or the light of my certainty and here he goes heads out in the middle of a battlefield uh runs right up to the tank look at the destruction just criminal destruction all around him slides it into the exact spot they're trained to put it right in the turret Gap right in the front of the turret Gap uh pulls the fuse has about eight seconds after he pulls the fuse you can see the fuse burning there uh before it blasts so gives the fighters lots of time these are well-designed weapons that kassam has designed to give the fighters time to get out of the way um and you can see it's a devastating hit in the turret Gap the weakest spot uh on the armored vehicle and look it he goes exactly to that spot he doesn't question it at all he goes puts it right into that spot you're seeing his helmet cam on the right hand side there and the um the spotter uh on the left he's going to throw up the victory sign here at the end just to cap off what was pretty legendary operation one of the better operations that we've seen in this war and that's saying something because uh we see incredible operations constantly so um yeah and we'll take a look um I mean let's watch it one more time because it's so good so you can see the magnets underneath there that's what stick uh on the armored vehicle you can see there with his hand that he's holding it you can see it has instructions on it for the fighters so that when they're waiting um to execute the plan they can they're being briefed by what's on the side of the weapon you know uh treating them like professional weapons despite the fact that they're uh manufactured in Gaza by the Cambra Gades for Kasam Fighters we're watching Gaza made weapons nobody has made a weapon like this before you were not going to find it elsewhere in the world um so yeah and um essentially the fighter says he's wounded he stays in the battle and the point of it is what he's saying is the genocide is not going to erase the struggle for National Liberation nothing that they can do nothing the Israelis can do to um to these fighters to these civilians uh is going to break their spirit for Liberation and Israel's trying and look at the look at the scene in that in that shot just what's watch it in all these videos that I'm going to show you in the next 45 minutes look at the destruction all around um 20 minutes of kassam uh videos we'll go to Lebanon after that um so after we after we watch him do this and and throw up the victory sign I want to show you a couple of still images um that will help you understand the inside of the marava and what exactly they're trying to do uh when they put this gorilla action device essentially uh a heat seeking missile that they attach with magnet so you can see there that the this is an aler drawing it's not exactly uh accurate but it's basically right the driver is in the front there on the bottom level he's in front of the engine um the engine of this tank of marava is in the front most tanks is in the back they use it on the front for Extra Protection and then you can see on this one the shadow underneath the turret that shadow is the turret Gap that's what we're calling the turret Gap and inside the turret are the commander loader and Gunner the three uh key along with the driver the three key crew members um and so that's facing One Direction if we look at the next picture you can see exactly this marks on it exactly where they insert that gorilla action device right beside the commander right in his face right beside the Gunner right in their face um these are devastating weapons that are being placed by hand exactly where they're supposed to be place this is from War Thunder um and in the back there it has shells the back they don't usually have the shells there what they have there is room for other infantry soldiers and other crew from other tanks so sometimes people ask like what happens when the tank gets disabled and they're in the middle of the battle they run out the back door of the tank and they run into the neighboring tank and there's room for an infantry squad or for crew in the back of that marava so um that's what they do and that's why um sometimes the tanks are left for periods of time we saw that in Rafa where that tank got hit three times by a Gilla action device because it it was not moving so commander Gunner loader are the three key people up in that top U of that hatch the gorilla action device penetrates 600 millimeters which is way more than the turret Gap has of armor it is the weakest point on the tank because as you can imagine with the way the tank is shaped um they're not expecting hand delivered um uh Munitions and so they have an active protection system that tries to stop incoming rounds but you're carrying the round with your hand and putting it in the exact place it needs to be put so Kasam does that through all these operations maybe after the war when there's time I'll reorganize these videos and show you all the Guerilla action device operations you'll see that they do that uh all the time in the exact spot excellent trained Fighters executing a very brave task wounded in battle you can't stop them uh with with that so that's uh a remarkable operation and that is in the jabalia camp these this next one here um number two is also in the jabalia camp and here's another remarkable thing they're sitting here with uh a 60-year-old Elder he says in the company of this Hajj who is 60 years of age who refused to live in humiliation and disgrace refused to flee and asked for the resistance in the way of God um he says we will wear out this enemy which flexes its strength on women and children and commits massacres day after day um and they say to the hjj you're a blessing and and the man says you're the blessing um and then they uh give him a kiss here and then they go to battle and watch how they go to battle out through the mouse hole out through the mouse hole in the house so you don't have to walk out in the street through the mouse hole in the next house the fighters are living in their own neighborhoods they know how to move through these buildings um that still stand Israel is trying to drop all the buildings in tribalia but that's where you see there you see the Yassin 105 pulls up his sights we're going to see a Troop Carrier uh enter the screen here and he's going to fire from an elevated firing position which is advantageous for the angle that it strikes the armored vehicle requiring the plates to be replaced at at best uh that's the lik that's the luckiest version uh of what happens when you're hit with a Yassin 105 which can penetrate 700 millimeters of rolled homogeneous armor so seeing them move through the streets I kept this one here because this is a this is actually he's firing an rpg7 here anti-tank Warhead and you're going to watch he's going to miss here he just misses Over the Top Shot across the bow the tanker would see that uh shell explode in front of him um but I just wanted to put that because we never see that we see successful operations occasionally we see interceptions um but they don't just show us these videos uh because they went out and carried out the action they show us successful operations here comes a third one uh and this is being filled by a closed circuit television camera which is um something that Kasam has all over the neighborhoods to watch these operation so and number three we're going to see uh the Israelis set up in a house here uh they're setting up on the third floor of the house you can see him poking his face uh through here we uh blurred that out but uh you can find these on my Twitter at John Elmer maybe tomorrow can put it up on the ticker at some point um uh we are following the Community guidelines and blurring out but you can see he's got uh an rpg7 here he's got an anti-tank Warhead and he's going to fire it right through the window that that Soldier was out looking out and there's been a number of killed soldiers this week the Israelis themselves admitted eight killed this week and as I've been saying throughout the war The Numbers Never add up so maybe they'll fill in some after the fact and here we're hearing gunfire uh the shaking is the gunfire because they're firing into uh the building after it so you can see they they're spotting their position with intelligence c um surveillance and reconnaissance um and then they're being able to move through the buildings through the mous holes through the neighborhoods that they know uh and get up close to get the perfect shot in the in this fierce battle where Israel has drones multiple drones layers of drones in the air and all these armored vehicles that you're going to see throughout this operation This was um one of five operations against troop positions since you last saw me um this is one of them and we can go after this to number four because this is a a a complex Ambush uh of a tank company here this is ambushes of death as they they've been calling them and you can see the fighters here setting up digging uh burying their shaad we're seeing a shaad uh efp explosively formed uh penetrator and that's the GE it's called that is a um an anti-personnel weapon that's essentially made by unexploded ordinance they fill up those buckets and then they put shrapnel in those buckets and then you can see this company of Tanks moving through there's a dozen or so um and they're going to pull up to this intersection to hold this intersection because they don't have infantry support as we've been watching for 411 days um so they get blasted by the shaad there um the efp is the first shot and then the second shot is going to be of the sigil which is going to be buried as well and it's going to come in from the side we're seeing three different uh views of the first shaah here this is where we're going to see the sigil it comes in from the side uh against the maintenance crew that's coming out to to presumably do maintenance on the tank that got hit um and so they're hit uh in the Ambush as well so they're setting this Ambush the Israelis are driving right into the Ambush and they're hitting them so right now they're two for two with these three uh weapons that they planted and here comes the third this is versus AER Troop Carrier uh and this is another shawah um that might have been an ascarate Troop Carrier actually yeah it's an ashd Troop Carrier which is even going to be in worse shape than the namr and um the maskoff M activists did a great job of describing the vehicle the namr is amava it's the same hle then maraba has a turret on top of it but otherwise it's the same vehicle we can do number five tomorrow um this is against D9 bulldozers the D9 bulldozers have been uh busy in jabalia it's part of the ethnic cleansing they're trying to do it on the cheap so they send in these uh bulldozers that are barely armed they have slat armor trying to protect them um it's not good enough and you can see there that's a direct hit with a Yassin 105 which is far more than capable uh of destroying that um but look at the devastated terrain as the Israelis call it like look at what we're looking at here the fighters are using the destruction of their society to blow up these uh D9 bulldozers which are in short supply especially when you're fighting on two fronts although Israel doesn't seem too keen on fighting in the northern front uh but these bulldozers have been devastated we saw U more than a dozen of these blown up in this show alone and last show we saw even more so these bulldozers are not fairing well some of them might be um remotely operated elbet makes a system that that can uh turn these into remotely operated bulldozers because really their job is to just push over the buildings they push over the buildings that have been bombed that have been uh bombed from the Air Bomb by anti-tank mines um and then they strike them and just um like I said just look at all of these videos and look at the destruction and just hope that Justice comes to the people that are committing this it's uh unbelievable so number six um oh yeah excellent uh this is um uh this is what a D9 looks like so you can see inside with the two the commander and the driver they operate in two man teams um and you can see the amount of protection that they have it's not much um a standard RPG anti-tank ground would destroy uh that slot armor and so a yasen 105 with a tandem charge um does really significant damage and as you can see in the cab there's not a lot of room so there's not a lot of uh Missing who's in the crew when you're hitting these um so I thought I brought those uh visuals just so people could see what it looks like inside these behemoths that we just see from the outside um so thanks thanks for doing that tomorrow so six is um this is an interesting one they Kasam identifies again we're watching CCTV uh footage here Kasam identifies this as a Troop Carrier that's what it says on the screen there but watch when it gets hit with a Yasin um yeah so that's an explosion that we don't usually see so I'm going to say that that's going to be an unmanned um remotely operated m113 Zelda which the IDF has been using to carry out to act as truck bombs they a tank bomb they fill it with with Munitions and they drive it and blow it up in an intersection to take down houses this is all their budget uh genocide that they're carrying out now it's cheaper to do they also have all these um m113s that are aluminum and have been they're not battle ready they can't go to Gaza in these vehicles so they and they have thousands of them from the Americans you know from their big brother handed them down to them uh along with their allowance and um they used they they converted them they converted them into car bombs they used them as car bombs so Kasam intercepted that car bomb and blew it up pretty good um we've seen we've seen that before um we've seen these 113s before I've been talking about them for uh many months we first saw them uh being deployed in conun back in I don't know timed timed I don't know time but back earlier in the War uh when the battle was raging in conun we first saw them so so um yeah number seven uh this is interesting because I want you to look at the tip of the uh Warhead that he's got here he's got a tandem 85 we'll show you it in better after but um this Archer with his tandem 85 uh his his buddy saying it's not you who threw it's God who threw um which is what they always say to The Archers um and then you're going to see a marava tank moving through the total Destruction not one of those buildings is is is Happ habitable um but that's what the bulldozer doing they'll come up to that building you see dead straight ahead and they'll just push it over that's what the bulldozers do um in some cases the bulldozers have to clear the way there's the tank entering the screen there dead center uh and you're going to see um from an elevated firing position again no trophy intercept on that trophy tries to intercept the active protection system on the tank tries to intercept between 10 and 30 m um so there's no way it's getting that one KAS kasan believes that it does and then the spotter says we got it pull out so you can hear the way that the two communicate with each other and now we look at 7B uh yeah so I did a still frame here just to show you what we're looking at there is the um the 85 millimeter rpg7 shell that are essentially not good enough for uh the up armored for the number of plates um that the marava and the ner put on they add extra plates uh on top of plates on top of plates to make uh thickness that the rpg7 doesn't penetrate so what we're looking at here is the extension on the end they put the 64 millimeter on the end there but what we and they turn it into a tandem the tandem 85 but what we're looking at here is really interesting because you I've shown you this a couple times before but this is obviously proving the case that they are manufacturing these right now in jabalia jabalia has been the subject of three major invasions the North and the South are cut off from each other by the narim corridor um they're they're they're the manufacturing is happening on a localized level it's jabalia that's rebuilding their weaponry and that is a clear indication of it to see an unpainted uh Warhead on the end of their uh on the end of their 85 millimeter RPG so interesting development we've been watching that throughout the war to see how the manufacturing was continued and that that is proof for sure right there to a good shot of the Archer just before going into battle so uh we could go to number eight now um this is a soldier who's got his head popped out of the um top the probably the Commander's hatch and he gets fired on here um in jabalia Camp and this is interesting at the end we're going to watch here so you see he's got the FN mag uh 762 mounted machine gun and in a November 12 Field Report Kasam said Kasam Fighters were able to Target a Zionist marava tank with a Yassin 105 shell then bordered it and seized a machine gun from it near the alar cura School West of jabalia Camp so they captured that gun off of the top of the camp which off the top of the tank which is um really interesting and actually to it was one of the first experiences that I had in Palestine when tanks were in the streets of Janine and I was working and it uh particularly precocious kid hopped up on the tank and was trying to Reef off the uh the mounted machine gun and when he jumped down back off the tank I was kind of like what are you doing and he's like I'm trying to get the gun off like dummy what do you think I'm doing and that was my welcome to um welcome to the Palestine moment but yeah captured weapon always a trophy weapon um that the Palestinians will have for many years to come people will see it so number nine uh this is a day this is a night operation um we we don't see a ton of night operations but uh there's a D9 armored bulldozer again they're get they're in the Forefront of the battle in jabalia um so they're going to fire on this you're going to see the the yes fire there's you see the two flashes you could see the first flash there and the second flash is exploding on um on the D9 bulldozer built by caterpillar uh in the United States uh if you want to have a a complimentary campaign to the mar Campa campaign it's caterpillars being shipped uh as well so um yeah and now we want to move to B lahia because this was all from jabalia Camp jabalia Camp's been fighting Fierce this is B lahia again another uh tank hit from an elevated firing position um these the the Israelis have told us that b lahia was empty of Fighters but doesn't seem that it's the the case again so now that you saw that picture of what the D9 looks like now you can imagine uh how close everything is when you get hit from I don't know what is that 40 meters at the most um by a tandem charge Warhead so um that's the second operation of three in B lahia there's one more coming here um against a tank commander riding outside of his tank uh and he's going to get an elevated yene strike so the resistance is all over this is not the same cell running around harassing the the Israelis these are the Kasam Army still intact fighting uh in the north amid the Scorchers scorched Earth genocide uh and the battle continues and I'm going to continue to bring you these uh videos to show you from the Palestinians eyes like literally these are coming from their cameras their helmet cameras um and their showing these to be seen by the world to show what is going on to show that they're not surrendering um and and the civilians as well the civilians aren't surrendering and going to South Gaza they're not they're just displaced by because the shelter was burned down literally by the Israelis you can see the Israeli Tik toks um taking credit for burning the schools down um but they just move to another place they're not giving in and I think I I described it on the show last last week but one after the shelter was burnt down the there was a massive demo and the men chant you know marched down the street chanting uh death before dishonor like no it's not you're not going to beat you're not going to defeat them by massacring um people's families and destroying with scorched Earth that's not going to w win this war um so number 12 is a um and just great like just the artistic uh videography of that is just a the layout Kasam is getting even better as the war goes on this is an elevated uh yasen strike on a Namer Troop Carrier that will need new plates that's what they that's how they fix them multiple plates and we don't know a lot about that because Israel keeps that part a secret um they don't let that information out and that is um part of their keeping their morale up same reason they lie about casualties and lie about how many people were wounded um they lie about how many plates they needed to get sent so the maskoff M campaign is something I'm very interested in to see how they reverse engineer uh the statistics from shipping and try to put those statistics together to understand how many of these armored vehicles have been uh destroyed because we're watching them you know 411 days um yeah I mean I guess yeah right on October 7th we saw the tanks being destroyed there was a a dozen on October 7th yeah so 13 is that 13 are we at 13 13's another D9 again look at the landscape just brutal uh but the fighters are using it to their advantage and blowing up another uh set of soldiers or it's remotely operated because some of these are remotely operated um but there's also casualties and like I said eight casualties just in this week alone admitted by the Israelis and this is an operation in the narim corridor number 15 here this is a joint operation um with the ansar brigades and Kasam so they're finding an Israeli position in the nerim corridor uh not where Netanyahu was um but in one of these buildings again where they believe by bulldozing S kilometers they give themselves space we have to edit that video but again you can check my Twitter maybe we can throw it up on the Chiron there if people want to check them out because that was a hit um and calculating the distance and the speed of the bullet that's uh 1.2 km hit so a significant distance on that operation and just before we wrap up on uh Gaza so eight shuah operations versus tanks efps versus tanks 16 Yasin versus tanks three versus apcs 12 Yasin versus D9 bulldozers four IEDs and antipersonnel IEDs versus troops four Close Quarters battles uh in which Four soldiers were killed in close quarters battles including one battle where Fighters came up from a tunnel and hit the Israelis nine sniper operations and then the rockets and mortars are constant they're going on all the time I don't bring you those videos because we don't we don't have time to show all of them um but they're constantly harassing the Israelis in the narim corridor and now in jabalia they're firing mors in jabal as well and as we know the Israelis um have 30 injured a day more than a thousand a month go into the rehab Department um so on top of the the killed in action um is is the number that go into rehab 35 per day on average so that those numbers are likely up because the battle in jabalia is fierce it's ongoing shows so no signs of ending and there is way more than 100 to 200 Fighters like the IDF said that is a ridiculous claim in a war of ridiculous claims so that is the Gaza uh front [Music]
