The multiple fronts of the resistance, with Jon Elmer

I mean there's resistance from the north to the South um in the north Hezbollah has escalated um U their attacks from the north um the West Bank is particularly the Northern West Bank is basically locked in Daily armed struggle in tubas tarum uh nablas balata Janine Camp um I think any other time like we've said before we would be calling what's happening in the West Bank and in um and what we're seeing in Gaza is the defense of Gaza um from this massive Israeli mechanized Invasion um that's now 3 weeks old um and we're seeing videos uh we saw a bunch of videos released this weekend that showed that the fight is still happening in the outer edges uh Israel hasn't been able to maintain control even over the outer edges in the Northwest and the northeast of the Gaza Strip um we saw videos this weekend um that's that showed multiple Israeli soldiers being killed and Abu abeda gave uh his audio message and he told uh Israelis that word of their deaths would come to them eventually suggesting that it's um under reported uh that Israel's Under reporting their deaths which is something that um hasbalah used to do release videos and reports saying this is where your soldiers died and then waiting for two days till Israel says uh basically confirms what we saw and so kassam showed that um in their videos this weekend um and then sure enough um two days later uh Israel admitted the deaths of 10 of their soldiers eight seriously wounded um fighting in Northern Gaza Israel doesn't tell us uh where or how um they died in fighting they've verely been Under reporting their they haven't reported a wounded count as we've talked about um and they often leak the deaths out like many days later which um sort of confuses which attacks you're looking at um from the Kasam log and which ones the Israelis um because we've seen videos that surely look like um killed in action we saw the thermobaric grenade the fuel grenade be fired on a troop position and B hanon with the soldiers sitting in the window this weekend we saw a video um of an Al ghoul sniper rifle hitting an Israeli soldier on foot in B hanon and then for uh for the next uh you know half half a minute minute uh other soldiers come in to try to to retrieve the body of the shot Soldier and they're getting shot so we're seeing in these videos actual Israeli soldiers being killed and injured at a rate that um the Israelis weren't uh acknowledging although they did acknowledge the next day um so yeah we've seen um resistance from the north to the South we're seeing abua said 62 damaged um or destroyed vehicles I think damaged um are a lot of them um just in a 4-day window then yesterday they reported um 25 uh Vehicles hit and that's because the Israelis have hundreds of armored vehicles inside the Gaza Strip that are being hit and we can see by these videos that they're still streetby street fighting we're still seeing Israeli uh we're we're seeing Kasam Fighters hitting Israeli armor point blank from behind um which again just suggests that the Israelis aren't dismounting from their armor they're not holding any of these neighborhoods you know the military term is clearing um which is which has a military term uh is a military term that means that you've removed all resistance fighters from that area and that's clearly not what's happening we got reports in the Israeli media this weekend of a complex Ambush um on Israeli troops where 360 degree Ambush where um you know dozens of Kasam Fighters um and SEL kuds Fighters it was one joint operation um are coming out and hitting the Israeli armor um in a 360° Ambush and then able to under mortar fire um like complex combined arms actions where the Infantry and anti-tank units are hitting the tanks and then the mortar units the artillery units are coming in and providing cover for them to then withdraw so these aren't suicide missions they're not martyrum missions they're these Fighters hitting complex ambushes and then retreating back to their bases safely to carry out another attack um you know we're we're hearing reports from because the Israelis are allowing some Foreign Press to embed um and go in on these tours with them and The Economist the other day talked about how uh he was in with an infantry battalion which includes tanks and um engineering units um but that these units aren't allowed to go down that there's a standing order in the IDF that nobody is allowed to go down into the tunnels and so essentially when they're finding these tunnels um they're basically just shelling and bombing from the air um to close the entrances they're not actually um going into the to the tunnels to do what the thing that they promised that they were going to do which was rout you know root out every U Kasam fighter in the Gaza Strip and we can see that map that tomara just pulled up there it doesn't look um all that different from last week those pinch marks um are the bites where they moved in to get the hospitals um and a lot of that blue shaded area are heavily fiercely contested territories the the blue in the center there um in the center of Gaza to the east is juhar Al dick and zun um there's reports of dozens of uh ambush um attacks just in on that axis um each day um so that that area is definitely contested area in the Northeast um that's where we see B hanon and that's where those videos from this weekend were where they're literally fighting from adjacent buildings so they don't even control the building beside the building that they're in and they took multiple casualties um in banoon and then if you look to the East in the top left corner in the in the OR sorry the West the northwest corner b lahia that blue that pushes down to those two encircled hospitals that's the beach that's not a builtup area so they're they're going around the builtup areas they're not able to control the builtup areas that bite in the center on the leftand side that's the bite that they moved in to take shiffa through the unpopulated um area of downtown where they blew up the Palestinian legislative Council that hasn't met since 2006 and they planted a flag on top of it even though nobody fought for that territory up there a little bit is where you see shifa where they uh the Israeli soldiers um from flotilla 13 their their best Navy Seals um stormed the hospital and took photographs planting the flag on the roof of of the largest hospital in Gaza those are the military successes that Israel has um explained to us they haven't explained any other um significant military successes as their um their concerted structural attack on hospitals has been taking place um they're not hitting military victories uh where these hospitals are on the way to that military objective they're literally their objective is the hospitals um and there's Fierce fighting um in many cases there's more fighting today than there was the first days of the invasion and I think in basic uh guilla Warfare understanding that makes sense once the Israelis get fixed positions um the attacks will come um even more so than when you're attacking the sharp end of the invasion spear which doesn't make all that much sense um for a Guerilla Army that's vastly outnumbered um and don't themselves have tanks and airplanes although we do we did see airplanes we saw Kasam uh launch this weekend um one of their suicide drones they're attack drones which is basically a drone that um acts like a missile a kamakazi drone um we saw that be launched today um or this weekend we also saw um a complex um suicide bombing attack in the north where three bombers went in carrying uh Yassin shells and thermobaric shells as well as suicide vests and hit an Israeli position uh in the north that um we we haven't got casualty reports but we saw from the scene clearly casualties um from that attack we also saw videos um with Palestinian Fighters doing what we talked about before where they literally take the Yasin he Warhead um that acts like a grenade that has a pin and we watch them literally walk up to the Israeli tank put the device in between um the the reactive armor and the trophy system that knocks out incoming rounds and slip it by hand right into that space um below the turret which is just like incredible courage for one thing um but it's just like a Precision guided missile that's put in right in that spot in the tank turret and again that's partially um showing you that the Israelis aren't outside of their tanks because Palestinians are able to we're just from these videos able to see that Palestinians are hitting them with complex ambushes they're hitting them from behind they're hitting them from close distances distances that are close enough um for the trophy system to be ineffective um and we're seeing you know what the Israelis said that they lost 10% um 10% of their armor is out of service 10 days into the ground operation they haven't given numbers since then um but that kind of rate of attrition doesn't sound like much until you say um you know there's 700 or 800 um vehicles and then you're you're starting to talk about significant numbers just in the in the beginning um of this war the Israelis haven't even taken up their fixed positions yet which will surely be hit harder um and even if you use Israeli numbers which are clearly exaggerated include massacring civilians but they're only talking about a few thousand maximum number of Fighters killed and Israeli estimates themselves um you know suggest that there's as many as 40,000 Kasam Fighters particularly when you consider all the National Security forces that exist in Gaza themselves plus you have the other factions that number in the tens of thousands um it there's still a long way to go in this war for Israel to um to to make any kind of claims of military success um there haven't been any we've just seen concerted attacks on hospitals and I mean Abu abeda said that well he said you know while while we're fighting um your tanks and causing losses you're preoccupied attacking civilian infrastructure you know talking about the Palestinian legislative Council um and hospitals and civilians just massacring civilians there's no military objectives being reached um that that can be bragged about in any serious way we see them in shifa hospital raiding shiffa hospital and being there for more than a week um um and their evidences again these phone calls um you know just really thin evidence thanks for watching this video please
