Israeli tanks hit with hand-delivered bombs, with Jon Elmer

You are watching and listening to the electronic inifat. I am John Elmer. This is the resistance report for day 76 of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. I am reporting this on September the 11th. We're going to start with the maps. As always, I've got a migration map here. Switch it up from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs map. This is a a map from the um migration cluster that shows um you're looking at a map on the screen with um I don't know what is it dozens of arrows showing all of the neighborhoods in Gaza City, wider Gaza City and Chabalia as well. This map already assumes the ethnic cleansing of uh Beth Laia in the north uh west there, Beth Hanoon in the northeast. Um and also around the buffer zone all the way down to the south where we know that Rafa has been completely ethnically cleansed. Um we learned today that the 36th division of the IDF has pulled out of Conunus. So that marking on the map showing Conunus being taken over um again they've pulled troops from there. They've left a shadow force uh in Conunus. We know from my reporting last week and leaks within the Israeli military to the Israeli media that they believed that Gideon's chariots, the operation that we watched um carry on from the middle of May uh until um the late summer um was a failure. uh it failed to accomplish its goals, but it did accomplish the genocidal goals of destroying entire villages in the Kunis area. And what we're looking at here is the number of people leaving Gaza City. And this is a number that's being tracked by the International um organization for migration. This is an UNRA. This is a site cluster of a number of uh of organizations, the Norwegian and Danish refugee councils. Um, and they show on this map that since October, since sorry, August the 14th, 97,000 people have left Gaza City. The Israeli military today, I mean, they're updating this number every day, the Israeli military, because they want to make it seem like everybody has left Gaza City. But as Norah reported in the newscast, um, there's a lot of people that are not going to leave Gaza City. They didn't leave Gaza City the first time when they were told to evacuate. people don't believe there's anywhere to go. It was difficult enough to uh to push everyone out of Gaza City the first time when people had money and resources and gas and their cars. Um none of that exists now. The roads are destroyed. There's nowhere for their tents to go uh in the south. So, it's a a total genocidal disaster. Um and Israel's bragging about it this week. Netanyahu spoke before um the Israeli Air Force and bragged about how they had knocked down 50 towers in for in the previous 48 hours and he said uh to Gazins, get out of there. This is just the beginning. So, um, again, this matches the genocidal plans that the Israelis have been speaking about since October 7th consistently that they're going to turn Gaza City, uh, a city that's 5,000 years old, into Rafa, which is completely, uh, erased at this point. Um, Israel's air force said this week that they bombed Gaza more than 360 with 360 air strikes in recent days. And that's a separate category. Then naval bombardment, then artillery bombardment, then the quadcopters dropping grenades on tents and homes. It's a separate category uh from the M113 armored personnel carrier robot bombs that they're sending in that blow up um that are tanks packed with explosives that blow up uh entire housing blocks. Um and so they're bragging and they're putting these numbers down uh on the record for the genocide trials. And I include these maps for uh for those trials. And if we look at the next map, there's another one u another fresh map. This is from the United Nations um uh satellite agency and you can see the tents uh along the waterfront in precarious places and on the right side of the map you're looking at uh blue dots, yellow dots, red dots all along the coast. These are all tent camps all along the coast that are in um this was noted for being in a flood risk zone. But I want to show this map just to show you what the coastline of Gaza City looks like. It's packed with tents uh all the way up and down. Um and this is what Israel is trying to uh push people out of. Um there's one more map of this that shows um number three that shows um the coastline as well. Just tents um packed tight as far as you can see up and down the coastline. Um we take a look at the next map is the IDF's evacuation notice. Norah reported on similar um leaflets that had been dropped on Gaza City. They're dropping them on individual neighborhoods. This one's forcing people out of the entire wider Gaza City and Jibalia area. Um so these are for the war crimes trials because this is blanket ethnic cleansing. Um it's illegal in every possible way. And as I said, they're bragging about it. Netanyahu bragged uh at the Air Force base about dropping the towers. And I'm not going to show it to you because it's uh too specious, but the IDF released a video this week that was similar to the one they released about uh Shifa, the fake video of the Hamas command center under Shifa Hospital. They released another one of those about the high-rise towers in Gaza that house displaced people that already have all the windows blown out of them from previous attacks. Um and they showed them and said that they were terror towers and that they're destroying every one of them. At the end of the video, it showed the whole area of Gaza City, the number of these towers that they are uh intending to knock out. And when they drop these towers, the towers are essentially entire neighborhoods in a tower. Their families, multiple generations of families in the towers, um and it's because of the height of the towers. Um you know, it's the amount of people living in there are in the thousands. Um, and so they've started this attack, this part of the war. As I reported weeks ago, the Israeli military drew down in Gaza at the end of Gideon's chariots, uh, what they're calling part one. Um, and they haven't, uh, they're building up, but they haven't started the invasion of Gaza City at this point. This is strictly a war on civilians, and there's no pretense of anything other than that uh, happening. Um, and it's just incredible. If people didn't see Norah's newscast, she showed some of the videos of the towers being dropped. Um, and you can just see entire, you know, hundreds of families lives just go up in a plume of smoke. Um, this is strictly a war on civilians. There are still resistance operations and we are going to take a look at some of those. Now, let's take a look at the map of the northern Gaza Strip. You can see Gaza City, Talhawa, the Shotti refugee camp. Um those are the areas under displacement orders. Shuja Zetun largely destroyed up uh up till this point in Gideon's chariots one Tufa the same. Um and the Israelis are essentially just demolishing block by block. They're not fighting the resistance. They're not trying to find the resistance to fight. Um they're just dropping civilian homes with no military pretext whatsoever. Um there was a number a couple of there was seven Kasam operations this week. Um they hit um in defensive positions which is what we've seen from the resistance operations in the last few weeks since the end of Gideon's chariots. Um the operations are breaching operations of Israeli positions. We saw that in Conunice, a breaching operation of an IDF outpost. Um and we're going to see that again today. the Casam operation. A video was just released just before uh we went on air um showing an operation again a handd delivered explosive being um being placed uh inside the hatch uh of a tank. These are the highquality operations that Casam said that they were going to be executing. They've created new weapons uh guerilla action devices for these operations to deposit the explosive directly into the hatch of the tanks or the armored personnel carriers. Um and the field report came out this week from Casam of the video that we won't see. I'll show break it down for you next week because it just came out as we are going on air. But the field report again matches exactly what you what you see on the video. Kasam fighters, Kasam says, were able on Monday to raid a position where enemy soldiers and vehicles were fortified. One of our fighters was able to climb on top of the Macava tank and throw a bark gorilla action device inside the cockpit, which led to the killing and wounding of the tank's crew. This occurred in the Almari area in the center of Jibalia City in the north of the West Bank. Our fighters observed the landing of the um medevac helicopters for evacuations. Um this operation was clear that they had waited for the return of the tank to come back to their position after moving and that is the time where their intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance would have shown in previous days that that's when they pop the hatch um to get air in when they're back in their outpost. They believe they're safe in their base um and the resistance attack them. And that's what the um preliminary IDF probe pointed out that three Casam operatives launched an attack on an army encampment in the Chibalia area. Um around 6:00 a.m. The incident took place shortly after the troops had arrived at the outpost following their night activity. Um and they killed all four of the tank crew instantly, which the IDF acknowledged um as well this week. Um let's take a look at some of the other operations this week. This is uh in Jabalia and they're calling these operations the staff of Moses. Um this is to go um this is the part of the battle uh renamed from the previous battle which was stones of David. We see fighter here. He's saying we are the ones who pledged allegiance to God and struggle and we will maintain this pledge to fight as long as we live. He then quotes a poem by Sudin writer Muhammad Abdal Barry. Um the poem ends and we will remain on the mountain of archers and behind us the voice of the prophet shaking us do not leave do not leave. And this is a poem that refers to the battle of Uhhood in the Quran where the archers left their positions um on the mountain. 50 archers left their positions um costing the Muslims the battle. We also saw that poem be used in uh Shuja during the second battle of Shuja. So here we see fighters uh advancing on a tank from cover behind cover. They fire a Yasine strike, a direct hit uh on the tank. And the fighter here, you're going to see he uses the smoke and the chaos of the strike on the first tent um as concealment to now we see him running. We're with the cameraman here. The camera is on board with the fighter as he's running up to the armored personnel carrier and depositing the explosives into the hatch of the armored personnel carrier attempting to to uh put it in the hatch. And here we see the fighter returning to his base safely in this operation. It's a remarkable operation. There you see um the gorilla action device detonate um in that operation. And the fighters both returned because you could see both cameramen uh in this operation in Jabalia. Again, you see it detonating there. A successful operation. Didn't go into the hatch. The hatch was locked on both of these operations. But here is the gorilla action device. So now we're seeing another type of gorilla action device. Um we've seen several of these throughout the war. At the beginning of the war, we were seeing them as Yasine 105 warheads that had magnets on them. We saw the fighters go and stick them in between the turret gap um between the hull and the turret of the tank and pull the pin and the magnetic uh Yasine warhead um sticks onto the tank and explodes. Um this is a different type that we're looking at here. I just wanted to draw your attention to it. They're able to adapt these weapons throughout the course of the war um to carry out the operations that need to be um that they have seen an opening going into the war. They had many guerilla action devices. Um, but they were, like I said, magnetic. So, they were presuming that you stuck them on the outside of the tank. But throughout the battle, they the fighters had witnessed, we've all witnessed um Israeli tanks driving around with the hatch open and the commanders uh with their heads outside of the hatch or while they're parked on their in their positions, the fighter, the Israeli soldiers, the tank crew open the hatches to get air. Um and that left a vulnerability that Kasam is now exploiting with these guerilla action devices. And I just wanted to show you that they have a different type of one. Um the announced uh operation uh that killed four tank crew was a bark, the lightning explosive device. And this is a different one that we're seeing here. In this next slide, you can see Kasam has uh pointed out this is the fighter returning to his base safely after depositing the guerilla action device in the previous video that you saw. Uh and it says in vain they try to uproot us but we will sprout from the blood. Um and that's again staff of Moses operations that are in opposition to in defense of Gaza City and Jabalia. Um and we have another operation from this same series here. This one you're going to see we're watching now a fighter crossing through open space. Um there's a a burm made by the Israelis to protect their tank. And we're watching the fighter here, creep up the burm and walk. We seeing a company of tanks and armored personnel carriers. There's the zoom in on him literally climbing up on top of the NMR troop carrier and he attempts to open the hatch. And in the field report, uh Kasam said the hatch was closed. So, he's going to retreat here safely to his base and the fighters are going to come up and launch uh Yasin strikes against those two tanks uh and Nom troop carriers. So, we're seeing these actions. We've seen them. The Israelis are are saying the Israeli military is saying that the these are new bold actions. But people who have been watching the resistance report and watching the resistance since the beginning of this war know the fighters have been bold uh all throughout this war. the guerilla action device requires a boldness uh to affix it and people even who watched the second inifat um the boldness of Palestinians around Israeli tanks is something um that starts very young. It's not just the resistance fighters. It's also the stonethrowing children who confront tanks um in the previous generation uh of Israel's war on the Palestinians. But there you can see the the green triangle is the Kasam fighter climbing up on top of the Nom. You see him there. Now he's up on top and he's trying to get there's two hatches on the top of the Nomber and he's trying to open those and they are locked. Um and then we've seen this before too, firing rounds um from small arms um at the same time as they fire the yes. believe that's to uh to try to distract the um active protection system, the trophy system that's on or the iron fist is some cases. Um that the firing on the sensors uh messes that up. Uh that is the belief of what is going on here. But the battle is of course beyond Gaza. Uh it is also in the West Bank. This is a video of uh suruds that they have put together. Interestingly, some look like they have captured Israeli military gear, which goes with an army radio report earlier this week that uh captured Israeli gear was found. These are also uh operations previously uh in the battle of nor in northern Gaza in the Tulkar uh Tulcaram and uh Janine camps as well as Nur Sham's camps. Um and it's a it's a promo video that Suds put out to say that that we're here, we're on the battlefield. um we're carrying out these operations and it ends with saying our struggle is ongoing and we will continue to fight you until the liberation of Palestine all of Palestine. And there was an operation today reported a Shuja IED named after the commander um in the Tulcarum uh in the Tulcaram camp in he's from the Tcaram camp but he's overall commander of um of Saral Kuds in Tulcaram that operation wounded two IDF soldiers inside a troop carrier um and today is uh 232 days of siege of the camps and Janine Um, and it's been an eight months, full eight-month siege uh on those camps. Earlier this week, um, Army radio reported several Palestinians tried to return to the Janine camp, which they have been expelled from, and the Janine camp is in the process of being destroyed. Um, they went back to look for belongings. Um, and Israel shot and killed a number of them. um which is exactly what Israel did in 1948 when they ethnically cleansed uh Palestine the first time and they uh anyone coming back were called infiltrators if they went back Palestinians went back to try to get their belongings or get some of their sheep because um they had been driven out they were killed by Israeli forces and when you see that happening in Janine um it definitely reminds you of that time and just to give you a sense though um In August, there was uh more than 180 clashes, stonethrowing clashes between youth and the Israeli military in the West Bank. Um these are happening every single day. Just a nutshell of a single day in September uh September the 8th. Um there was an attack in the uh in occupied East Jerusalem that killed seven. 17 were wounded. But there was also clashes in Drew in um around elsewhere around Jerusalem, but also in multiple places in Ramla. multiple places in Janine, multiple places in Tulcaram, um in Nablas as well and in Hal Hebrron in the Alfawir camp. Um there's operations and clashes and resistance and um res refusing to submit operations going on in the West Bank uh all through um the time that we're focused on Gaza in these reports. Of course, it's worth noting, of course, also um that Israel's Operation Summit of Fire, the United States lured, um Hamas negotiators to Doha, uh for a pretty sparse, uh ceasefire agreement um and Israel used that opportunity to attempt to assassinate the Hamas leadership, but definitely destroyed the negotiations. um which is just further proof that Israel is not interested in any kind of negotiation, likely collapsing the negotiations entirely. Um no interest in their POWs. Um and we saw last week those PSWs in a video released by Kasam. Kasam's shadow unit showed two of the captives um being driven around Gaza City. And you can see um these two captives, these two soldiers. We saw them previously in the middle camps during the ceasefire. Um, and the two soldiers, they uh introduced themselves to each other uh in this Casam video and the soldiers say, "How did you get here?" Um, Casam wanted uh to show that these captives are being moved um and the captives are in Gaza City. Um, and Israel doesn't care about that. Obviously, we'd known that throughout this entire war, but the attack on Qatar and Doha uh definitely proved that point. Um let's take a look at Yemen um briefly here because the Yemeni support operations are continuing. This is the map we've shown before. The yellow are the areas of Israeli strikes in um so-called uh Houthi territory and Saralah territory um which is uh not a significant indicator. Uh they control more territory than that map indicates. This is an Israeli map. Um but you can see the outer rings there. That's showing the range of the ballistic missiles and the drones. particularly the outer ranges that cover Israel are the Palestine 2 ballistic missile that we've been showing throughout the war um and the drone um the Yafa drone which um we saw penetrate Israel multiple times this week um 38 operations in the past two weeks. Abdul Malikal Houthi said 23 drone ops uh and a number of ballistic missile operations um that we can take a look at one of those um uh let's take a look at number 12. This shows the graphic of where um these drone operations targeted the air force the Yemeni armed forces carried out widescale military operation in with several drones targeting multiple objectives across Israel. One drone targeted Ramon airport, the international airport down in Alat. That is on the bottom of the map that you see there. There was uh three drones uh towards sensitive two sensitive sites in the Negv. They don't say what those two sites are, but that's the um there was reports in the Israeli press that there was sirens in the Deona nuclear uh around the nuclear facility and also Navatim air base which is the air base that's used for the attacks on Yemen and elsewhere. The attacks on Iran were from that base. Um up you could see up higher there was um the the bottom dot is Ashdo. Um there was a drone attack uh targeting Ashdo. In uh Ashto there's multiple u there's a refinery and a power plant that are usually um what uh the Yemeni armed forces is aiming at. And then uh up further you could see Bengurian airport as the target. The Yemeni armed forces said the Yemeni armed forces confirmed that they will escalate um their military operations and will never retreat from the position of supporting Gaza regardless of the consequences. Yemen was bombed yesterday. 35 people were killed, 150 wounded. The Yemeni armed forces also warn all aviation companies that airports inside occupied Palestine are unsafe and they will be direct consistently targeted. The armed forces of Yemen bear no responsibility for any consequences and stress the need for the immediate halt to all flights into these airports as they are no longer secure. This is part of the airport um blockade. That's in addition to the naval blockade that u the amenities have continued. Uh let's look at 13 because you can see the drone strike on Ramon airport. It hit the passenger lounge. It was within feet um of airliners. Um so obviously a direct hit um that made it through Israeli defenses. Um and you can see that there on the Ramon airport number 14 shows um another drone that penetrated. This is a an an Israeli Apache helicopter, I mean American Apache helicopter chasing uh IDF flown uh American helicopter chasing one of these Yafa drones. Um, and you can see it shooting down here at the end of this video. There was a number of reports from the ground in the West Bank. Um, this week and throughout Israel, uh, people reporting watching the drones flying overhead. Um, we saw that as well in the in the Lebanon front in the war. Um, we saw the Israelis chasing drones around and that's what we're seeing there. Um, we look at number 15. There was also a qualitative development in the Yemeni front that was announced by um Abdil Malik Alhouth at the end of last month. The missile force announced the significant achievement of developing cluster warheads for the Palestine 2 missiles. These cluster warheads split into multiple warheads. Um that's on the re-entry vehicle. Um Abdul Malik al Houthi says a major qualitative achievement that has deeply alarmed the enemy. Sirens blared in over 200 locations and millions rushed to shelters and air traffic was suspended at Bengurian airport. So they have um announced the use of cluster munitions in that warhead where the kafia is. That's the re-entry vehicle and inside of that are multiple warheads which means that the air defense systems have to track a number of those missiles um a number of those warheads from the same missile. You can see that from civilian camera in number 16 here. This last video shows what that cluster uh munition looks like. And it makes it very difficult for uh the interceptors um to pick each one out um and to knock it out of the air as it's already entering. Most of these missiles uh Israel is attempting to hit them in the outer atmosphere before um they break apart like that. But um that is a major development on the Yemeni front. Um so that is what has been going on in Gaza, the West Bank and Yemen. And that is the resistance report for day 76 of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. [Music]
