00:08 conflict between Israel and Gaza.

00:16 to the Gaza Strip, which Israel delayed four times.

01:25 an active protection system that rejects anti-tank missiles before they reach them.

01:37 a number of them during previous attack operations.

01:49 of the United States of America for Israel.

02:07 second in the US aid after Afghanistan, where it gets about 3.8 billion dollars annually.
02:16 This is after an agreement between the two parties in the Obama era, which used about 500 million
02:22 of these aid in the anti-missile defense system, including investments in the iron dome system
02:30 and other missile defense systems.
02:33 These American funds contributed to the development of the iron dome system with about 1.6 billion
02:40 dollars since 2011.
02:43 However, many of the infiltrations of this advanced system were recorded.
02:50 Not only the land attack in the Qaid al-Ta'riq area, but also the Rafah Pass, which is waiting
02:57 for international consent to enter humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip after a permanent
03:03 siege for more than 12 days.
03:06 This pass was built in 1979, after the signing of the Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt,
03:15 and is located in the southernmost part of the Strip.
03:18 The Israeli Air Force has been managing it until September 11, 2005, and European observers
03:26 have been monitoring the movement on the pass.
03:29 The pass stretches 12 kilometers, and there are 120 cameras monitoring the length of the
03:36 border between Egypt and Gaza, according to media reports.
03:41 This pass represents a passageway for the passage of individuals, goods and humanitarian
03:49 aid, and the pass is the first of nine months since 2023, indicating the number of entry
03:56 and exit movements of about 189,000 people and 70,000 cargo trucks.

04:09 to enter the pass.
04:11 In this context, the Secretary General of the United Nations said that he is working actively
04:17 with all parties to move these trucks as soon as possible.
