Hizballah demonstrates new anti-tank missile capabilities, with Jon Elmer

but I want to switch over to uh the other fronts that are happening just really quickly uh in in Lebanon and the West Bank um and then Ali will talk about the uh attack uh by the Iraqi resistance on the uh American base in Jordan um but tomorrow if we could go to number one um so hasbullah showed us this week uh a capability that we've been waiting to see the Israelis said that it was used um previously but this is the first that we've seen it on video and we're seeing here is a top attack uh anti-tank missile that the Iranians have created by reverse engineering a a spike anti-tank missile system that was captured during the July war in 2006 and the Israelis immediately after it was captured uh Israeli State television uh talked about that the fact that it was captured and you can see the weapon system in the Hezbollah Museum uh in the South um so this is a a toop attack anti-tank missile which allows um it to nonline of sight which means that you can fire the weapon which we're seeing here um and then this is the original shot and you can watch here as the missiles headed towards uh this Hilltop because that's where the fighter aimed it somebody separate from the fighter is able to take over the direction of this am of this munition and redirect it from a safe third place to strike the target from above which is something that we're watching here with Hezbollah knocking out Israeli surveillance equipment um which you Israel uses to uh to use all of its weapons um are based on network connectivity so blowing up these um these radar domes and the way that we're seeing here is part of the Warfare part of the 750 operations in the north um we can see that being blown up and so when the first video that we showed was was was shown the Israel the IDF spur spokesperson Arabic spokesperson said um that this what we're watching actually didn't happen even though when we're if we could just when we get in close here tomorrow if we can pause you can see on this base previous damage from Hezbollah strikes of the 750 that they've carried out uh in the last 115 days of this war um you can see the Dome to the left of the triangle of the green arrows there you can see the destruction in that radar Dome to the left um so this weapon is something that can be fired from safety and then redirected from a third place which allows the fighters um a a modum of safety but allows the weapon to be used in a way that hasn't been uh used against Israel uh before and these weapons are we're watching them hit radar domes but they could be used against tanks um and can evade the active Protection Systems of the tank so it's a significant upgrade that we're seeing here and something that if there were to be a war uh in the north which Israel um seems to be expecting they have completely cleared out the North and the South but they've completely cleared out the North and for the first time in Israel's history the buffer zones are now inside Israeli territory the Gaza buffer zone is the Gaza envelope that has been um depopulated and the north uh as well that there's buffer zones they're now not inside Lebanon and inside Gaza they're inside Israel which is a strategic bind for the Israelis um and then maybe tomorrow we can show this just uh Hezbollah released uh this second video this one we're watching right here because the Israelis said that the first one didn't happen so they showed this one which is much more clear example um but if you look at the Almas anti-tank weapon that the Iranians uh released in the last it's only a couple years old but it's the product it's the product of Iranian uh design but also uh crucially that it was reverse engineered from a captured Israeli weapon um that the resistance then puts U to to effect so if we could do number three tomorrow um shortly after that hasbalah released a video uh with NASA's voice over from his last speech that we talked about about Israel covering up their casualties not admitting their soldiers uh are being killed in the north um so Hezbollah released this video um which which might go along with the the ceasefire talks that are happening it it seems as though both fighting force all three fighting forces um seem to believe that a ceasefire uh is at least a possibility because Hezbollah tipped this weapon um and are showing these videos um at a time that the um Israeli intelligence uh Egyptian intelligence American intelligence agencies are meeting in Paris to try to come up with some sort of ceasefire agreement um but we're seeing more soldiers here targeted than the Israelis have admitted to uh casualties in the North and the voiceover that we've taken out of this video is Nala saying that the Israelis are lying uh about their casualties are hiding their casualties for morale uh in their forces so that's one of the fronts 750 attacks from Lebanon we know the Yemen front has been 250 attacks um uh 200 drone attacks uh and 50 ballistic and cruise missile attacks U but we also have resistance um in the West Bank um that we've seen so this is a a shot of the roundabout outside of the Janine refugee camp with an Israeli vehicle again no casualties reported by the Israelis uh and the Israel this is in the in the outer edge of the Janine refugee camp which has been one of the places of uh Fierce resistance in the north of the West Bank U you know last year 2013 more than 2,000 resistance operations um in in the West Bank if this was any other time um we would be talking about the third Ina in in the West Bank there's sites of armed struggle last yesterday in 10 spots um and then we go to the next video tomorrow is from tarum where there's been uh Fierce resistance as well and in the Nur Shams um camp where there's only 7,000 uh Palestinians living in densely populated area the Israelis invaded earlier um this month with 1,000 soldiers for a population of 7,000 um with fighters who have been besieged for two decades uh inside of their ghettos in the West Bank so that that's a shot from tarum um just wanted to show I wanted to get a bit of uh the West Bank resistance in into that uh into these videos because um Israel has multiple fronts of this war that are happening right now the resistance is fierce and heroic um in in Gaza but it's happening all over if this was normal times we'd be saying there was a war in the North and we' be saying um that there was an inata uh in the West Bank oh wow thank you so much for that John um and uh I did want to ask a little bit about um if if you and Ally could talk about the uh discussions that are happening uh around a a possible ceasefire while um you were showing those videos John and analyzing uh I got a text from our good friend Dr mads Gilbert who said that the forecast for the coming weekend is extremely worrying for Gaza 5 to 7 degrees Celsius at night uh gale force winds rain uh extreme risk of accidental man-made hypothermia hitting children diseased and frail people weakening immune systems aggravating the uh the the famine that that Israel is causing um so you know I mean it can't come soon enough but it but are the discussions um worth worth it uh is is anything you know promising it does sound like it I don't want to speculate on these kind of back Channel things but it does sound like it the meetings that are happening between Egyptian intelligence um shabbach mosad um the CIA um and the prime minister of Qatar appear to be moving um they were supposed to end last week and they all those intelligence Chiefs um remained in place to try to to to negotiate the ceasefire um I mean one of the main sticking points appears to be that the uh cassam brigades have been clear from the beginning um that the that the there wasn't going to be a series of pauses which has been something that Israel's normal Wars uh carry out these series of pauses that that there was not going to be that until there was a ceasefire which is makes perfect sense when your population is living through the conditions that you just described um the Palestinians are living through awful horrific conditions um pausing a war for two weeks um so that you can then resume massacring people um isn't something that the resistance is putting up as the uh as their first position that they can do a staged release um but we do know that there are more um captives to be released um high level ones too I mean well yes there's high level ones that but there's also the there's the the husbands of some of the the ladies that were released that the Palestinians want the elderly prisoners in Palestinian jail in Israeli jails the Palestinians in Israeli jails to be released um and Israel uh rejected that in the first round um they're just letting their people uh you know they're they're they're not prioritizing obviously these the the the the captives and that's one thing that one of the uh captives who was released said she said she didn't recognize this country because normally Israel cared uh you know disproportionately about their soldiers and were willing to trade them for a thousand um Palestinian Fighters and um that doesn't appear to be the case now we're living in the mass Hannibal era um so I I think that the the the sticking point seems to be on the way that the release unfolds the Americans are trying to get it in a staged um release and it's not clear um I mean I think it takes a couple of days to get the message to Gaza and to get it back um the E the outside leadership of Hamas is um are effectively diplomats at this stage of the game they're not um the decision makers so uh we'll have to see but it seems the way that the that Hezbollah it it showing this new weapon uh the way that the intelligence Chiefs are meeting uh continuing to meet at past the deadline uh in in Paris that that that possibly we're moving towards some sort of agreement well it's it's clear that uh the US and Israel want an agreement but they want it on their terms they want to achieve at the negotiating table what they haven't achieved on the ground and I think it's very difficult to see how the resistance could accept anything less than their red line of a permanent ceasefire among other things after all this sacrifice that Palestinians have made so we are in the realm of speculation I think it's clear that the US has realized that Israel uh is a dog that can't Hunt is that the phrase um and so they want a way out that preserves their uh uh that saves face uh and the resistance is saying you know the battlefield conditions is what dictates the terms and on the battlefield Israel is losing again we always stress that um murdering women and children and Men uh and destroying schools and buildings and universities and hospitals is not winning um it's it's actually a sign of losing so we don't know uh we we we hope for the sake of everyone in Gaza that there will be a ceasefire but one that makes sure they will never face this genocidal violence again and that's seems to be the bottom uh line there thanks for watching this video please subscribe to our YouTube channel hit like leave a comment these
