Gaza resistance operations and ceasefire parameters, with Jon Elmer

so we're going to start um we the ceasefire went into effect on Sunday morning uh local time and as was mentioned we did a special broadcast um on Sunday so if you haven't seen that check that out but this first video um we showed um on that day and this is the Handover video uh that cassam released immediately um after the ceasefire happened this is the exchange of the first three prisoners uh first three captives um being release but you can see in this video immediately Kasam in the streets you can see Gaza City this is downtown Gaza City this was supposed to be destroyed this group's not supposed to exist um these people are all supposed to be ethnically cleansed from the north and none of that is true and you can see it in this video uh clearly this is the Red Cross um delivering the um the first uh three captives and signing over um their papers so everything that you're going to see on this show is has been published between last episode you saw last Thursday the 16th and today is January 23rd um you can see him signing over there to the Red Cross the uh official certificates to um to match with the prisoners that were being exchanged and of course this deal has been on the table for more than a year what we're seeing is the humanitarian release that could have happened in November 2023 this has been confirmed by by everybody who is involved in the negotiations the negotiations have not changed since that time um so there was no concessions made um between November 23d the numbers of prisoners have only gone up in the exchange um rate as Abu abeda said at the time the number uh when Israel said they were going to return to war in November 2023 and not continue with the humanitarian exchange Abu abeda made it clear that the price for the prisoners was going to go up um but the the parameters of this deal have been in place uh since that time so one year of genocide um led to No Surrender led to no concessions led to no change uh in the principles of the agreement from Kasam so if we look at number two you can see here this is the signing over of uh the paper itself which just says acknowledging the receipt of the Israeli uh prisoners I the representative of the red cross received from the cassam Bri Gades um and this is not theater this is signing over the documents um and these documents are critical because the are they match with the um the prisoner exchange deal that was made and part of the concessions um in these deals part of the deal was that um the Palestinians would not be rearrested so these kind of documents signing off on these documents are not just theater this is um this is actually happening as a protocol of course there was um also in these deals the um the female captives they're civilians they according to Kasam should have been released um the second the day after October 7th they weren't the target of the October 7th raid they didn't intend to hold um these civilians um they believed that they would be exchanged immediately Yahya senoir visited them uh on October 7th on the morning of October 8th and said they would be returning their guards said they would be returning immediately these were not intended to be people part of an prisoner exchange uh 15 months later that was Israel's decision to to leave them and to carry on with a war and Israel believed with its goals that through violence they could return the prisoners um and that is not what happened so the destruction of Gaza the genocide the crimes um didn't change anything about this deal and that's important to say this is Yahya sinar's deal that was originally negotiated um so I just wanted to show you that official signing off there if we look at number three um you can just see in the streets presence uh immediately of Kasam in the streets and a bunch of them are holding Israeli weapons captured Israeli weapons um from soldiers either in this battle or in the 2014 battle um but uh they were the ones that that those weapons are what kassam brought out to the street to show so I wanted to show you that but as Ali pointed out from the first minutes um all of this presence the resistance presence the government presence um the municipality presence in the streets was immediate was total it was never destroyed it was never dismantled the battalions of kassam were not dismantled we'll see that as we go through uh this program and um Hamas was immediately able to um provide security on the aid routes for the uh influx of Aid there the aid was not captured by Israeli backed Bandits uh the AIDS was delivered to where it was supposed to be um in large numbers the deal calls for 600 trucks a day and that happened in the first three days there was 1500 trucks across the border um 50 trucks are supposed to be fuel each day that should get up the paramedics the hospitals um the Civic infrastructure um from that fuel so that's a key part of the deal and of course the tents um 200,000 tents are supposed to come in these uh first days as well which was also something stipulated in the agreement uh from the beginning if we look at number four here just to give you a sense I always start with the map so I want to keep this uh uh going so that people understand what we're talking about the narim corridor we spent uh 14 of the 15 months talking about the nitar corridor and what was going to happen with it um that's in the middle there dividing Northern Gaza from uh from the south and the other key Corridor is the Philadelphia Corridor along the Rafa border uh the nsar rim Corridor has already begun to be dismantled it has to be dismantled uh by day seven um along the coastal road so that should be happening by FR by Saturday today's Thursday so within the next two days uh the coastal Road should be open um and there's a full withdrawal full military withdrawal uh of Israeli forces from Rafa where they were operating from jabalia jabalia Camp B lahia and banoon that's where the Israelis were operating those troops have left um and so that's significant and on Saturday um there'll be four women soldiers four IDF soldiers um Israeli milit AR soldiers that will be released and their exchange rate is 50 to1 um and they are for life sentences and for uh long sentences and I just want to point this out I pointed it out on the show on Sunday but uh cam fights uh as a joint operations they fought as a national movement they represent a national Army um and in the prisoner exchange um that's how they represent the prisoner exchange too so uh there's 735 in Phase One of this deal 735 political and security prisoners uh that will be released Israel calls them security prisoners we'd call them political prisoners um and the breakdown of those 735 is 345 Kasam and Hamas members 229 alaxa martyr brigades and fata members 67 Islamic Jihad Sarah Al's members 19 dflp Abu Ali Mustafa brigades uh members and six dflp uh National resistance brigades members so the release is not for Hamas uh only they're not uh they're all focused on a national project and that was how they fought I brought your attention to that numerous times over this uh 15 months and when you see the actual documents and who it is that exits prison uh in these exchanges you see that National representation as well because in prison um there in a national movement in the prisons they work together in their groups in the prisons um but the understanding of the hierarchy of who was going to be released the Deans of the Prisoners the people with the longest uh sentences um those people are are prioritized in the release uh based on the national movement so um if we just zoom in here uh this next map here number five is what the what what it looks like in Gaza today so that's the overall map and this is from a different angle but you can see uh this this is the idf's map showing the buffer zone and then that's serim Corridor and then on the far left uh of the screen you have the Philadelphia Corridor so this is how things look as of today um there's a buffer zone of 700 MERS um around Gaza and the nsar rim Corridor is being in the process of being pulled up I'll show you maps on those uh a little later a little later but these are the um the maps as they are today so we will follow this whole uh ceasefire and prisoner exchange U because there's many elements to it they are interwoven and um they all build on each other so phase one is 33 um humanitarian it's called um release these were the people that could have been released in November in the humanitarian release uh but Israel chose not to phase two is the soldiers and there's 67 of those or in that category soldiers reservists um in that next category and and that's when things start to get a little less clear than they are in stage one um if we look at map number six we can uh zoom in on Rafa with a Philadelphia Corridor here um as dunia talked about people immediately went back to Rafa on the first day um of ceasefire um and um the uh let's do number seven number seven will show the Philadelphia Corridor map um the basics so you can see there we were talking about the Philadelphia Corridor and how wide uh it had gotten over the course of the war and once Netanyahu in the summer uh prioritized the netan or prioritized the Philadelphia Corridor um over all other aspects of the exchange um we were talking about how wide the corridor is here it is 700 m um and in the bottom 1100 M Israel's allowed three positions um in the South that are 1100 meter buffer zones and the rest is 700 meter buffer zones right now everything that's Crossing into Gaza is crossing through uh the Karam Abu Shalom um the Karam Shalom Crossing in the bottom corner of that map that you can see uh and then the next one up is the Rafa Crossing and ultimately the Rafa Crossing that is the one that goes to Ed Egypt Karam Shalom goes to Israel and Egypt but Egypt through Israel um and so the key is getting the Rafa Crossing open because the Rafa Crossing is where wounded patients um who need to seek medical care outside of Gaza will be released through Rafa um and that process is a little bit less known the withdrawal from the Philadelphia Corridor doesn't happen until the end of the 42 days Phase 1 is 42 days and the Philadelphia Corridor is supposed to be abandoned uh between day 42 uh and day 50 so it is in um an ambiguous period that still needs to be negotiated on phase two will be begun to be negotiated on um on uh February 16th is when that uh begins to be negotiated the rest is for phase one that we're seeing right now and this week Kasam released uh an operation a significant operation that happened in Rafa if we look at number 7 c um we can see oh do we have the first from the municipality map sorry my bad this is the municipality map just to show how the government is uh able to immediately respond to the situation um and provide a map for people moving returning to Rafa where the danger zones are how thick the corridor uh the Philadelphia Corridor is and where areas that you cannot go are this is the aaza government the gazi municipality the Rafa municipality in this case immediately able to respond to the moment of the ceasefire with a map that's updated to give to people so there's no collapse of the government there's no collapse of the resistance this is not going to be a surprise to anyone who's been following our program for the last 15 months but this is seeing it uh for your own eyes this is what people in Rafa were given when they uh arrived back to uh Rafa so Rafa municipality operating just like they are in Gaza City um and in each of the Cities throughout Gaza so good I I wanted to get that one in I almost skipped it but 7c this is Kasam operation in Al shabura camp that was released this is an operation from January 13th so this video came out after the ceasefire but this operation takes place in the week uh preceding you can see Kasam has eyes on uh an Israeli position in shabura Camp um the Israelis have basically destroyed the entire Camp as you can see except for the one building uh more or less the only building standing um and the Palestinians here Kasam is using the tunnel to scope um to reconnaissance this building there's the classic Israeli blanket hanging in the one window uh where the soldiers are using it which is their adaptation from soldiers in a window is to put uh massive conspicuous blankets into the window that they are we're watching three teams here uh setting about with their cassam built uh thermobaric Warheads their pg7 VR thermobaric Warheads which are uh uniquely gazen U made in the case of the Yasin 105 with a precursor charge that you're going to see how they work here first unit so there's three squads here first team is going to go to an elevated firing position second unit here and the third unit are a are access accessing the attack site through a tunnel so they've been able to surveil their position continuously using tunnels throughout the war this is uh days before the last day of the war and they're still able to uh operate in their tunnels that's how they've been able to fight this War uh through the whole time so this unit's going to come out at ground level so we're going to have two Shooters one tunnel born one ground level one uh elevated firing on this uh Israeli true position that the Kasam Field Report from January 13th said there was 25 troops using this position um and we saw the armored vehicles around it and so we're seeing here a triple uh thermobaric Ambush on a single building which I'm not sure we've seen three hits on a single building uh in the war so this operation was uh a significant operation right at the end of the war the ability of the Rafa Brigade to fight till the end of the war despite the fact that Netanyahu said they were dismantled and defeated in uh July when he was talking about the Philadelphia Corridor as being the oxygen for the resistance uh which it is not it may have been decades ago but it is not anymore um because you can see that thermobaric Warhead right there was built in Gaza um that weapon that's being used against the Israelis did not come through the Philadelphia Corridor uh it was built in Gaza and that's why they've been able to fight with these weapons throughout the war um so now you're seeing the elevated shot and the thermobaric Warhead is a fuel air ignition um and it's used as an anti-personnel weapon because you can see it just uh it fills the room with a flame it's a deadly um it's a destructive weapon that's being used here and we're seeing three of them being used on a unit of 25 um the Israelis did not claim casualties in Rafa uh on this day which has been something we have seen throughout the war this is a gunfight going on we don't have Auto Audio in audio track is not in there but there's a gunfight going on then these Fighters are back underground in the tunnel they have already rigged up a Minefield of IEDs and they're waiting underground for the reinforcements the two ner they describe it in the field report two ner troop carriers we don't see it here um but that makes sense because they have a 25man unit in this building so they're send rescue operations to Nar troop carriers and they detonate the Minefield underneath it so a significant operation in Rafa on the final days of the war um six months after the Israelis said that they were defeated in Rafa so um obviously absurd claims that we've seen throughout the war and we've been tracking throughout the war um the reason why it can take a few days for a video to be published out of Rafa um there's many operational factors that could lead to it and we've seen that before we saw it in Shaya during the second Shaya Invasion uh Kasam kept all of the videos um and Communications from Shaya until the withdrawal happened and we're going to see that later on the show also in banoon so let's take a look at the narim corridor um where Israel has been for five days now pulling up bases uh on the western coast on the al-rashid coastal Road um they've been pulling up their bases uh that were always temporary bases we followed this from the beginning I remember uh more than a year ago uh it was in November we started talking about the narim corridor um and what Israel was doing this was a logical place for Israel to attempt to cut the Gaza Strip into fingers it was a long-term plan uh that goes back to the beginning of the occupation of Gaza in the early 1970s um and it was an area where they used to have a settlement that was in the middle of Gaza specifically to cut Gaza in half so the ability for the Israelis to take the narim corridor was never a major military accomplishment holding it uh wasn't a military accomplishment either because uh as you can see the cities are a distance away from it and even though they destroyed and widened the corridor um holding the corridor was not a military accomplishment U keeping the corridor forever may may have been um but that's not what's happening here and this agreement stipulates that Israelis are not getting their soldiers back they're not getting their people back if they're in the narim corridor if we look at the next map you can see a bit better what I'm talking about um so that's what this is going to look like by Saturday um the coastal road is going to be completely open Al rashed Street people will be able to walk on foot from the south to the north which was a key um stipulation a key principle of the negotiations led by Yahya senoir um and Hal ala right from the beginning um and hamas's conditions were an end to the aggression a withdrawal from the corridors and a return home a return to the north people must be allowed to return home and the fact that they're not being inspected and they don't have to go through a checkpoint on the coastal road is also a victory uh for Kasam in these negot iations Israel wanted to turn um the Israel didn't want to let people return to the north but then when they did allow people to return they wanted to do it through a massive checkpoint that they had set up in the narim corridor that we I reported on back a year ago that they were setting that up um that that installation has been removed um and people are not being inspected and anytime the PE the reason why people don't want checkpoints which is I I mean it's obvious why people don't want checkpoints but it the reason why they don't want checkpoints is that that's where you're captured that's where Israel can capture people um obviously as we've seen throughout the war random people um and you could be taken away and disappeared and taken into uh torture camps in the south of Israel as more than 12200 Palestinians um were taken out of Gaza who are being released also in this first stage in the humanitarian release 735 security prisoners and 1,200 gazin who were detained after October 8th and had no uh charges against them no um had no charges against them they were just taken from Gaza as bargaining chips um and tortured in uh City taian and these terrible uh camps in the in the south of Israel so to not have a checkpoint that's a serious victory also for uh for Palestinians what you see on the right hand side there that's how this will be until day 22 um day 22 the um Saladin Street um will be open which is the main Highway that runs north south in Gaza and that's what you can see on your map there Israel sets up um a checkpoint 1100 MERS in from the fence it's not a border but in from the fence uh that demarcates the edge of Gaza and there are going to be searches that are not done by the Israelis cars traveling on this road cars will be allowed to travel on this road on salahudin um and they will be inspected by um a third party it's still being worked out right now between the UAE um and Egypt and possibly American private security companies will keep reporting on that because that has not been finalized um but that gives you an idea of what's going on with the nerim corridor it's already as of Saturday will be half empty and people will be walking from the south to the north and that will be a very celebratory day for Palestinians who were driven from their homes um and the ability to return to their homes is a principle that was not given up by Kasam not in any amount of genocide in any amount of Destruction um those tenants stayed firm and that's going to be something that history reflects very positively on uh Kasam and leading these negotiations to not uh waver on their principles and also a serious defeat by Israel whose objectives were to return the captives through violence and pressure to destroy Kasam and to destroy the Hamas government that was the third and the fourth was Gaza would no longer be a threat to Israel which is obviously not the case very much Gaza is a threat to Israel you have um thousands of uh Angry young men who have watched their Fighters uh defend their territory heroically and want to join Kasam we know that American intelligence estimates have Kasam being larger today than before the war started um I don't doubt that and in the coming months and years that will grow even more um so Gaza is a threat Gaza believes that they can win the war um they believe they can go through the most brutal hell on Earth and come out the other side without ever having given any concessions to the Israelis and that's something that will leave um Gaza a threat to Israel going forward so Israel failed on all four of its principal goals and the Palestinians succeeded on all four of their principal goals narim Corridor is a good example of that let's look at number 10 because the entire time nsim Corridor was under attack uh this is happening this is an operation from telawa telwa is in the um Southwest of Gaza City uh I lived in a for a while in tahaa so shout out to tahaa here um these Fighters are planting IEDs uh explos improvised explosive devices they're not really improvised it's kind of a misnomer at this point but um you could see them uh planting those with pressure plates which means they don't have to detonate them by hand and um when the weight of the armored vehicle passes over you can see there the MK of a tank um when it passes over there it sets off the uh charge underneath as it did there blowing away camera two and we're going to see it from camera three here because they get they have four cameras on this four spotters on this operation there's the tank Burning uh from camera three from spotter number three um so these operations when the Israelis were were in the narim corridor in the ex abandoned Nim Corridor they're being hit they're pointing there to uh pieces of um pieces of a vehicle not clear if it's the targeted vehicle they identify it as the targeted vehicle but ruins of Israeli armored vehicles which we are starting to see all over Gaza and we will especially see in the north when people return uh fullon to the north uh remnants of destroyed Israeli armored vehicles that we've been documenting for the last uh 15 months AB abua talked about 2,000 targeted vehicles uh which I think is a conservative number um Cam's numbers are U rarely if ever uh inflated even on the smallest Field Report so um and that's something we've pointed out to all throughout the war so number 11 is a sniper operation this is also in the narim corridor this made the corridor difficult for the Israelis to operate in it was the reason why they had to continue uh widening it it um to protect their soldiers again we've edited this video so that um it matches Community guidelines uh at YouTube uh which we always do we did that for the prisoner exchange as well I edited out the prisoners being uh exchanged uh which is I think proper we uh in the Israeli media they put the captives both Palestinian and their own captives uh they put them all over the media um and I think that's not that's not the best uh principles I don't I think international law principles for one thing but um just basic decency we're not going to do that um so as long as the YouTube uh Community guideline uh sensors that are watching this right now know that we've edited this video um to match your guidelines um so let's move to the north the nsar room Corridor under attack constantly shrinking uh people soon going to be uh moving North the next time you see us we will be reporting on people moving north um so and the end of the war was um was marked by a thousand or by 100 day Siege of uh jabalia where 5,000 people were killed 9500 were wounded 2600 were detained for some point we watch them dismantle all three hospitals and attack Kamel adwan and B lahia um uh but the the Gava Brigade and the nah Brigade both exited Gaza on Monday they left out through uh the Border exits through uh the Northeast side of bay at hanon um and they had to speak in the media about their failures in banon the IDF said we are not faltering in banoon because they took so many casualties um at least 15 casualties in the final week of the war alone and the numbers are are almost certainly an under count because the numbers of wounded um were scores each day one day there was 30 wounded um and so uh I think this is a another example of Israel under selling their numbers and I'm going to show you some of the kassam operations there but the Israelis military said U that we are not faltering uh in beta noon because they were getting hit so hard they said we are cleansing the area thoroughly this time once and for all um and of course uh three days later the ceas fire came in so they didn't clean they didn't cleanse once and for all banon um they didn't cleanse the north none of their genocidal plans uh came to fruition um and they came because of the resistance in the north if we look at number 12a we have here Abu Hamza fad he is the uh the commander of the banon Battalion and he went out um and met people um and who were coming back to their destroyed homes um and he gives an address where he says that Israel failed to achieve in its military goals um because it didn't achieve its objectives um and that that is a defeat in the truth sense uh in both military and non-military principles he says we saw Gaza emerge dignified and defiant def we saw Gaza emerge dignified and defiant uh in Victory he said walking to those people so the the interesting thing about Abu Hamza uh obviously led the F and B hanon for uh heroically for U these 15 months uh but if we look at the next slide here 12C uh Israel told us in May that they had assassinated him um and not just assassinated him they claimed in May during The Invasion the second invasion of jabalia that their uh underground yahalom under their tunnel unit their Special Forces Unit killed him in a tunnel in a in combat in a tunnel um that was during the May operation um here's what they said the IDF said the commander of hamas's betan noon Battalion was killed by Israeli forces in a tunnel in the jabalia area the military says Hassan fiad Abu Hamza was responsible for many anti-tank missile attacks launched against our troops during the war the troops that were in uh their neighborhood uh during the war as well as well as launching artillery at the Gaza envelopes the IDF said in a statement uh the IDF says that Fed was killed in a tunnel in a joint operation carried out by the 998th division and special forces of the Air Force and Elite yahalom combat engineering unit his killing is quote part of the 998th divisions fighting above and below ground to find and destroy tunnel networks and eliminate terrorists the military said so not true didn't happen completely fake story and this is also interestingly the part of the story that if people remember back in May um Abu aeda came out in the middle of the night and gave a speech saying that we had captured saying we Kasam had captured a soldier uh in a tunnel underground that we had lured there so Kasam lured um these IDF forces to a tunnel by leaking information that there was bodies of captives in this tunnel and they went down in this tunnel and fought and one of the soldiers was seen on camera being dragged into the tunnel we still haven't seen uh his maybe we'll see that person be released because there's video of him and we will be able to identify who he was so we'll stay on that story but because of that uh perceived failure of the video coming out with one of their soldiers being dragged into the tunnel and one of the first if not the only um time where there was actual combat in the tunnels that Israel claimed combat in the tunnels it's clearly a fake story because it's not uh it's not Abu Hamza and uh Abu Hamza was not in jabalia he fights in B in banoon and the banoon Battalion stayed in banoon which is how we know that these operations were able to take place if we look at number 13 um this is how the this is fighting in territorial units is how Kasam survived this entire War um and how you know that they were never defeated that they were never dismantled they were not Guerilla forces running around harassing Israeli troops they were fighting in their territorial uh battalions this is the the banon Battalion um who came who released yesterday all the operations that they didn't release during the last two weeks of the war um when the death toll that we got from the last weeks in the war was strictly from the Israelis we didn't have field reports from Kasam um saying that what the operations were well we got those reports yesterday and uh just to give you a summary there was six Al goul sniper operations there was 11 t uh thermobaric Warheads versus troop positions so like we saw in Rafa there was 11 operations like that um there was four IEDs versus tanks um and one of the incidents um separated the turret from the the hull of the tank um and that was known in the Israeli media as well Kasam confirmed that in their field report um there was three IEDs versus Command Jeeps um that sign says there uh that's the ambushes of death and it's a series so it said stay tuned because they're going to show us uh the rest of these operations but this to give you an overview of them um so there was three IEDs versus Command Jeeps and the Israelis were vexed by that because their Jeeps were getting hit in convoys um in multi- uh vehicle convoys where the IED was detonated against the command vehicle not against any other vehicle except the command vehicle so the Israelis in their internal reports Army radio and whatnot was saying how do they how do they do this how do they um how do they know how do they keep knowing to hit the command jeeps and um I read these testimonies from before but just to give you a briefing on it uh an ined from Channel 12 uh got testimony from the soldiers who said uh in bonon who said we are fighting in an environment monitored by cameras by the militants they've planted explosive devices in every alley and are activating them from inside the tunnels the underground network is fully operational we cannot see them with the naked eye for a week and a half there's been no direct identification of any militants while we're getting hit they have completely planted banoon with huge amounts of explosives and remnants of our Air Force bombs every alley every intersection is filled with state-of-the-art cameras 360 degree thermal cameras and just the soldiers wigging out because they don't understand why after all this time banoon is rising up on the last days of the war um and smoking them and dealing with them in a way that looks like the first day of the war um so there was three command Jeeps there was uh I EDS versus three booby trap uh troop positions three um two operations with IEDs versus D9 Yasin versus two vehicles and Rockets and artillery on 11 straight days so these operations when they say on that sign that you see on that graphic that you see on the screen saying coming soon we're going to hear uh about these operations so maybe I'll I'll save them till we watch the video but um they they match with the Israeli reports pretty well like um on the uh the eth in a combined operation in banon Northern Gaza alasam fighter sniped and killed an Israeli sniper and his and his spotter subsequently they targeted the same fourth with five thermobaric anti-personnel shells causing uh significant casualties the enemy acknowledged the death of Two Soldiers and the injury of 10 others um and there's there's just a whole page of these reports that uh I think we're going to see videos of many of these on the eth alasam fighters set up a well-prepared Ambush along a predicted enemy route destroying a tank um commanded by an armored Battalion officer with a high explosive IED causing the turret to detach and killing all inside including the officer they then targeted targeted the um the reinforcements that came with an anti-personnel ID inflicting further casualties in the Minefield and that's these are the reports that the Israelis were claiming five six um killed and 10 15 20 and like I said one day 30 uh casualties so these reports will match them up when these videos come out Pro presumably next week but uh interesting story from banun and like I said This is Not Unusual to have these reports come out after um for operational reasons they don't want to risk um doing it sending them out in the moment of the battle number 14 is also to show that s kuds was in here uh in banoon as well not just Kasam this is sel kuds operating in uh banon with their Kasam Rockets their 10 km grad rockets that say made in Palestine um this is sel kuds betan noon is Kasam city named after these Rockets because this is where the area where they're launched from over the past 20 years um at Israeli settlements in the envelope and mil and military bases like the zakim uh military base that's right on the Gaza border the zakim military base is the target of this operation that we're looking at here and on October 7th people may remember hearing about zakim that was the place where uh frogmen Commandos um Naval born Commandos from Kasam uh landed on the beach and stormed the sakee uh military base and took uh prisoners prisoners who will be exchanged in phase two of the release uh should that go ahead so um interesting developments uh showing these videos uh after the ceasefire but really paint a picture of why the Israelis were so upset about their failure uh in banoon and to show the commander of the banoon Battalion who they said they killed six months ago we didn't we didn't say he was killed there was no confirmation he was killed the fighters didn't say he was killed Kasam didn't say he was killed um Fighters referred to him during battle as well as the B lahia Commander uh W RAB they both were spoken of so we didn't think that they were dead um uh but to see him come out and give that speech yesterday was uh uh embarrassing as the Israeli media reported it um and just one final note from the resistance report um as part of the prisoner exchange um between Hamas and Israel the ansar Allah La group um has released the crew of the Galaxy leadership that was boarded and captured by uh them and the ameni Armed Forces early in the war as part of the blockade um of Israel of shipping to Israel um they uh mostly Filipino crew they got gift bags too like the Kasam prisoners they got yeni jewelry and other souvenirs from their hosts um and they were sent out on a chartered flight uh by Oman who negotiated the deal as part of the ceasefire um and prisoner exchange deal and Anor ala said that they will continue their blockade on Israeli shipping um through the babom mandab until the blockade of Gaza ends so uh the blockade of Gaza is supposed to end in phase three of the prisoner exchange and ceasefire deal we'll see if we get that far Netanyahu has promised that we won't get that far maybe we'll talk about that in the group discussion that is the resistance report for this week um the first week of the ceasefire [Music]
