of 4:30 pm in iras capital, tehran, this is press tv news, thanks for joining us. it is almost six months now since israel launched this genocidal war on gaza. the regime's war planes and artillery keep pounding the bessieg strip, causing more deaths and destruction in 24 hours. four civilians including journalists were killed and 16 other people injured after. the number of deaths related to famon and malnutrition has gone up to 34, including 31 children. over 32,800. palestinians have lost

genocidal war began on the gaza strip, it became increasingly clear that this was not like the previous israels and aggression, the depth of the destruction with us military assistance was so vast that israel was not just after eradicating hamas or freeing the captives, which it has failed to do. let's review some of the structural damage on the enclave and what israel's ulterior motives can be. the us israelly onslot on the gaza's trip is one of the most destructive genocidal air campaigns ever, raising entire neighborhoods to the ground, killing tens of thousand. and

causing damage that could take decades to repair, well the structural devastation is almost as shocking as the loss of lives itself, drawing reactions from many world leaders, like this one from the eu foreign policy chief joseph barall, who said this destruction is one of the most intense in history, comparable, if not higher to levels of destruction of german cities during the second world war, the source of the damage is due to the u.s. bomb. that have been dropped in the gaza strip, in total, 70,00 tons of these explosives have been dropped in the gaza strip, this number is surely to rise since the israeli regime will be receiving new batch of us 50 and 20 pound bombs, well the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in this map, the largest destruction has occurred in northern gaza, 81% of the total buildings there. uh in

terms of the number 37,100, the grand total amounts to 177,00, it's kind of hard to see of here, but that accounts for 61.1% of the total buildings in the gaza. trip, this is what has been fact checked, other figures are much higher than this. now when it comes to the types of buildings damaged or destroyed, that's very important, these figures show that some of the notable ones, the press headquarters at 165, schools including universities coming in at 405, and then you have mosks 227, and here's the one that hurts the most, 244 medical facilities and... hospitals, keep in mind that these are the ones that have been completely destroyed, then comes the infrastructure destruction, 250 kilometers of roads, that's 78% of the total roads, 130 wells (56.2%) and 130 kilometers of water networks (84%) and then

the soul gaza power plants, the only power plant in the gaza strip out of service, especially due to lack of fuel, this is fighting for their lives, well israel erasing palestine's heritage in the gaza strip, some the examples of that that we picked, monasteries, mosks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic uh houses, you can see the figures there, the one that stands out here was the historic houses, as matter of fact, this one here, the great amari mosque, it's uh built in the 12th century and one of the most important and largest historical mosques in palestine, gone, naturally some are asking, what is israel after? well, this is what many media organizations have said, quote, israel wants to make the gaza strip unfit for human habitation, in the hopes that there will be large scale immigration for the ethnic cleansing of gaza's palestinian population. this is what many organizations believe is

israel's intense. moving to the other news that we have here on uh press tv. let's uh see what has happened in the occupied west bank. israely forces there have shots and killed a palestinin man over an alleged stabbing attack a settlement near the town of ashtad. the israeli sources have said that at least three settlers have been seriously injured in this attack which occurred in a shopping mall. according to reports regime for. fatally shot the attacker who was later identified as a man from al khalil. the incident came hours after them brigades, the military wing of the hamas resistance movements republished a message from his commander, calling on palestinians to use all their resources to fight against the regime. hamas later held the attack as a
