00:00Here on the program, it's been another bloody day in Gaza.
00:03Local medics saying that pre-dawn Israeli strikes killed 24 people.
00:07That's as the IDF launched attacks on the southern and northern parts of the enclave.
00:11Footage here reportedly showing the aftermath.
00:1318 of the victims were killed when a residential area in the northern city of Jabalia was hit by two separate strikes.
00:19As we understand, all of the dead were members of two families.
00:24In Khan Yunus, several children along with other survivors were transferred to a nearby hospital.
00:30As we understand here, two of the young girls who were rescued from the rubble were said to have died later.
00:36Healthcare workers in the enclave report that over 50 people were killed on Sunday alone.
00:43Meanwhile, the woman known as the godmother of the Israeli settler movement, Daniela Weiss,
00:47has laughed off the forced relocation of Palestinians from their territory, calling it a minor felony, as she was talking to the BBC.
00:54How many settlements and outposts you've been, let's say, in some way involved in, the establishment?
01:03Almost everyone.
01:04For real?
01:05It's 50 years.
01:06You know what it means, 50 years, that I do what I do today?
01:10Under the Geneva Convention, transferring a civilian population into a conquered terrain, that that's considered a war crime.
01:17It's a light felony.
01:24A word's coming as Israeli settlers cut off water supplies over the weekend to a key Palestinian village in the West Bank.
01:30That has been confirmed by local officials.
01:32The pipelines, of course, provided all drinking water to residents across the area.
01:37On Wednesday, last week, the IDF are said to have destroyed a number of water sources in a city in the West Bank.
01:43Wells were filled in, holding tanks and springs destroyed, though no comment from Israel.
01:49And we spoke with the mayor of the affected town, whose property was also once attacked by Israeli settlers.
01:54Now, he claims Jerusalem is trying to drive his people from the land.
01:58Personally, in October 22, 2018, settlers bulldozed about 3,000 meters of my land and destroyed a 70-meter artesian well I had built.
02:10They do not want us to stay on this land.
02:13All these actions are part of an effort to expand their settlements.
02:16Over the past two weeks, we have seen this intensify.
02:19They even tried diverting sewage toward areas where Palestinians live to force them to leave.
02:24They are also targeting groundwater sources to exploit them.
02:28For example, Ein Fara, a natural spring, was seized after October 7.
02:32That spring could produce about 100 cubic meters a day, but now people are banned from accessing it.
02:38It's located between Tarkemiya, Tafu, and Idna.
02:41The loss is enormous.
02:43These wells were crucial sources of livelihood for many families.
02:46With the wells destroyed and water stolen, Palestinians are left with nowhere to turn.
02:51This facilitates the settlers' control and displacement of Palestinians, but the spirit of steadfastness among our people remains strong.
02:58As mayor, I have pledged that anyone living there will receive support.
03:02We are ready to provide each home with 10 cubic meters of water per month, despite the many needs and limited resources.
03:09We are also working to ease the electricity burden for residents to help them stay.
03:13I believe the root problem is the existence of the occupation itself.
03:17Without the occupation, there would be no such suffering.
03:21I believe.
03:21Let's do it.
