defense force and the israelis are doing in their genocide? is they are making it impossible for parents to protect their children, there's something really fundamental about this: if a parent cannot protect a child, a child looks into a parent's eyes and cries. this is the destruction and this is the evil which the israeli government and the israeli defense forces, soldiers against children uh are are reaking over there and you know it disgusts. me, but what i'm saying is that that this is, i think they're going for it, this is a really big attempt to get major conflict going uh through the the uh the really the sacrifice of these poor people, if it was up to me, i would be breaking down the walls of gaza and getting those people out of there, because we're dealing with maniacs and then of course we have to deal with israeli defense forces, because the thing is the more they're allowed to get away with, the more they will do, and that is the... uh that they will be get worse in the future, so uh, i think we just have to understand unless thes

we gotuh attack on unrah age a 20 civilians and aid workers shot dead by the israeli defense force as they were giving out aid uh and then we saw on the friday on the day after uh i think is it now 12 mostly nato countries the united states and britain leading the way uh boycotting any funds for the aid agency so i i think this sort of response to the united nations instruments condemning israel for genocide. 'there was a a mention of genocide in the judgment uh, what we've got is a response by the israelis and the americans and the brits uh in flying entirely in the face of that decision, so this is not we're beyond uh right and wrong, we're now into the realms of good and evil, this is evil we're witnessing here, this is wickedness, this is absolutely the very worst that a country can do, and i as a british in a way, a sort of i suppose humanitarian ambassador'. as well as a journalist, look at my government and i warm the world, we now have a medieval style king with king charles ii in britain who is very unlike his mother who took a step back as head of state and saw herself as ki

i think that as the israeli defense force moves south, there is a greater risk that more civilians willrmed. there's a greater risk for the hostages, that they'll be harmed. and at the same time, the hamas group will try to exploit every single civilian that is harmed for their benefit. so this is a really difficult situation. i do think that it's time for the israeli defense force to stop with these air attacks and these artillery attacks and start going on the ground with precision and with recognition that they have to follow the laws of armed conflict which express proportionality and international humanitarian law. they cannot go in and indiscriminately kill civilians on the ground. >> malcolm davis, many thanks for your military analysis, appreciate it. >>> an ancient art has become a highly competitive sport. we'll take you inside the world of lion dancing after a short break. so, you've got the power of xfinity at home. now take it outside with xfinity mobile. like speed? it's the fastest mobile service around... and right now, you can get a free line of our most popular unlimit

leadership published official data on the losses of the israeli defense forces, which means their figureme people say that this figure is clearly underestimated and... in fact, they are higher, in order to publish such a figure, as if it were not that there were great losses for israel, i must admit, based on all the history of the war, yes, that is, the situation is not simple, and that means that on the lebanese border everything is not simple either, although it seems that the united states wants are putting pressure on israel, the iranians seem to be putting pressure on their own, but tensions are growing, hezbollah began firing missiles at the burkan, this missile spent the equivalent of 500 kg, for comparison , these kasams are... yes, so they published a propaganda video according to which they, therefore, showed what missiles can reach where, including to ilat, what power and what we will use, but the most interesting thing is that the hezbollah leadership is talking more and more about the liberation of the occupied lebanese territories, this is about the shabaa company and even

there's documented evidence that the israeli defense forces and these really police is oftentimes either a company, settlers as the a, as be conducting these attacks or is sometimes even helping them with these attacks . and these attacks have seen an increase since the october 7th, a the how much terror attacks on israel, their violence and occupied westbank has been spiraling since then. and in fact, um, united nations has documented that over a 1000 palestinians have been displaced in the occupied westbank. these are a veteran communities as a result of these attacks and all of this, of course undermines. but what do you, west says, is its policy, which is eventually reaching a 2 state solution because it is widely considered the occupied, but the westbank would form the heart of any future palestinian state. and with every displacement of a palestinian that gold is pushed even further. so this is very much in line with what the us says is its policy and the region. thanks. i abraham in jerusalem you lead us of prizes the passage of a new 50000000000. your support package for you, cra

a spokesperson for the israeli defense forces said israeli forces or soldiers stormed a heavily guarded building in rafah where these two hostages were being detained by hamas. managed to rescue them and fly them out of gaza. the two hostages have been named as louis hur and fernando merman. they also said they carried out heavy air strikes seen around rafah to enable this team of rescuers and the freed hostages of course to reach an airstrip that was set up specifically to fly them out of gaza but there was an immediate concern about the impact that these air strikes will have on the million of palestinians finding refuge, shelter in rafah. they all crowded close to the border with egypt. according to the red crescent, at least 60 people were killed and more than 100 were injured, including women and children. now, the nbc news crew that is on the ground there in gaza also confirmed that they saw -- they witnessed several people being taken to a hospital in rafah that were either dead or injured. now, there's also concern about the impact that these air strikes will have on the hostage
