the, the busiest dw news line from ballad, israel's army enters not the hospital in con, you, in the military says it has the forces inside the building in southern gaza. and the searching for the remains of hostages. taken by the militant islam as proof of funds, and they told ministers, meeting brussels to assess threats to the alarm, the war in ukraine on europe's why the defense strategy. on top of the agenda this off, the donald trump said he would not defend to allies who have not spent enough money on the military. the

i've got office. thanks for joining us. is there any troops of stones, the biggest functioning hospital, less than gaza mobile phone? footage appears to show the rate on the way if and not the hospital and the southern city of on unit. israel's military house describe the mission as quotes for size and limited, and says it has credible intelligence. that's how most, which is recognized as a total group of several countries have been holding hostages in the complex at some point on both indicate one patient has been killed and 6 others injured in. that rate of correspondence, i mean i see is in jerusalem and he told us more about this unfolding situation as well. the israel defense forces claim that they are conducting a precise rage using special forces on this hospital. they claim that they've given a warning to the people in the hospital to evacuate,

although they have not evacuated, the people themselves is a big difference there in terms of security. many of the patients have stayed for fear of being shot while leaving the hospital. at least one patient has died in the rates so far, according to reports come off as well as the hospital staff also say that the israel defense forces shots into areas where thousands of civilians are sheltering out of hospitals not being used only as a hospital, but also a shelter for many civilians who have come from other areas in gaza. so at least at least one person killed in the rate. now what's interesting here is that the idea impressed statement said that they were looking to retrieve the bodies of hostages, where they're talking about here is those hostages that have already been killed by him off. so they're not talking about retrieving living hostages, but the bodies of hostages. so that's a situation of the hospital at this moment. so civilians, of course very much in focus as you said, it's well this is know focusing on the very south of gaza at what are the goals

that well, it stated goals are to sweep the area for her most fighters. this has been the goal since the october 7th terrorist attack carried out by her mos uh to basically destroy the organization itself. now they've been doing this in the north of gaza for months. now. the concentration now is on the south of gaza from us where this hospital is, has largely been evacuated by civilians and they have been pushed up against the egyptian border. and the town of rafa where is real is threatening to conduct a ground invasion. despite the warnings of its closest allies, including germany and the us, they say that their ground evasion is imminent. that they are going to give us civilians a chance to leave that area. before it begins, but that they're going forward with that plan. now, palestinians, on the other hand, claim that the aims of israel defense forces are more sinister that they're not just looking for how most spiders, but they're looking to exact revenge on the population of gaza for the hamas

terrace attacks. and some even claim. and this has been echoed by the far right in israel, that they are intending to push palestinians up against the border and even into the sign i desert in egypt, largely pushing them out of the area claimed by israel itself. so both sides having different opinions about what the uh, the aims of the israel defense forces are here in this fight for a southern gaza. but it's certainly the case that there is a humanitarian disaster unfolding in that area there. so i mean, as see, thank you very much on you until you find out where the military says it is re positioning, solve its troops in the front line town of difficult. it says that it is moving them to quote more advantageous positions in battle town. and the eastern ukraine has seen months of heavy fighting. keith said it decided to re deploy some forces to most of the positions after it became difficult to get supplies into. and people

out of, of the of come, russia has been trying to seize this. fortunately, fortress town, seen as key to holding the east and on boss region. and that means from ukraine will no doubt also be reaching natal defense ministers were holding folks in brussels right now on the biggest problems facing the alliance. the board and ukraine and the conflict and gaza on top of the agenda. a notable absence from the meeting will be the us secretary of defense, lloyd austin, due to health reasons. the gathering has been overshadowed by comments from republican presidential hopeful donald trump, who recently seemed to call into question washington's commitment to its night to allies. major chief against spoken back set supporting ukraine was for everyone's benefit. just as a while ago, i spoke with w's brussels bureau chief. i sent a phenomenon, and i also bought the main challenges for the nature of defense ministers in regards to further support for ukraine. well, i think you had,
