united states. >> hello, israel has deployed further troops on it's border with gaza, and tensions grow with palestinians. the family of a murdered teenager has been due to bury him on thursday. but the body won't be released until after friday. israeli misfound his body on the outskis of jerusalem. >> in east jerusalem, the anger is still smoldering. in a few hours this community will bury a 17-year-old, it says was killed to avenge the murders of three israeli teenagers. the tex hangs in the air here, outside nothing has been cleaned up, and inside a mother surrounded by her family says there's a hole inside of her. >> i feel, she says hike my heart has been ripped out.
2:02 pm
they say that mohammed was taken right next to their house. and when the news spread of his death, this neighborhood exploded. >> palestinian protestors used to fight police yesterday, the two sides fought for more than 12 hours. >> today's violence has two fronts. rockets are beginning to find their targets. last night and this morning two rockets shammed into the neighborhood, apartments hit directly, but no injuries. three-kilometers away is gaza. every year gaza is beginning to feel hike a war zone, in response to those rockets israeli military unleashed strikes at launchers and training grounds.
2:03 pm
palestinian officials say at least ten were wounded but the terrifying sounds in the area, 2500 rallies in defiance, and solidarity with those protestors east jerusalem, and solidarity with a mother, her son wanted to be an electrician just like his father. >> my son was burned, she says. i hope the people who did this, burn too. >> taken across the border. in gaza, and john, just how much concern is there in gaza about this build up of troops from israel along the border. >> well, as you can manage, people have just broken they fast, and they are very concerned that it could also be a long night. that's because israel is increasing the rocket attacks now you have israeli army troops artillery and troops. it has people here very
2:04 pm
much concerned. you have members of hamas, saying that they are not going to start honest tillties israeli army officials have said they will remain quiet as long as the gaza strip remains quieted. but as you can imagine, there is no greater formula for hostilities than having some kind of provocative force just outside of gaza after these exchanges of fire, and of course, heightened by the tension after those three israeli boys were killed and the one palestinian boy was killed allegedly, according to people here, they believe, that was in retaliation. so the tensions are heightened. >> sounds like both says trying to say we don't want to provoke any kind of escalation, but the reality is the exchange of fire continues doesn't it. >> it does.
2:05 pm
and it is expected to continue, and that's because rockets have been fired out of gaza we are told, this evening and that suggests there could be more israeli air strikes, one day after israel launched a barrage of air strikes across gaza. that injured 15, so tensions are likely to get higher if that continues. and with those rockets allegedly coming out of gaza tonight, there is no sign that things are looking calmer right now. ry mind us what ha maz has been saying about the situation. >> sure, i was just asking you to remind us, exactly what hamas has been saying about the current tension, the current situation? >> well, they are saying that they will not start honest tillties but they will not back down.
2:06 pm
of course it was the israeli arm becaming them for the strikes. hamas is saying that it is not intending to beginnings. they have condemned the killing of those boys. live with the latest there, thank you for that. now curds have taken another step towards splitting from the rest of the country. the u.s. has urged the curds to stand with the national government. the curds control this part of northern iraq, the independent state they want borders turkeyed. but kurdish independence is just one of the issues threatened the unity of this divided country. in the shiite dominated south, this' disagreement about the future of prime minister, himself a shia. but the biggest concern is the rise of the islamic state who
2:07 pm
declared in vast areas of iraq and syria. the group is fighting for control, and now there are reports that 30,000 troops along the boarder. maliki and his supporters blame the supporters for the current rebellion. that's where the kurdish president made his speech to parliament earlier. >> two main messages to the parliament here in the semiautonomous region in iraq. disputed areas that find themselves under the control of the kurdish forces after their retreat after the advancement of sunni rebels in the north. those areas will remain kurdish areas. something that is a direct response to statements made by prime minister maliki on wednesday, where he said just because iraq finds himself in this conflict with the militants in the north, it is no excuse
2:08 pm
for the kurdish politicians to fake this as an opportunity to create a status quo, where these areas suddenly come under their control. the second important message was directing them to form a committee. the way in which these living there, with those to the polls and the referendum, will decide their fate. essentially whether they will continue to be a semiaton mouse region, or whether they will separate competely and have their own state. two very significant that will add to the might chaos that continued political struggle and power struggle here in iraq. you have already the sunni shia struggle inside iraq proper the inability to form a government. you have the fight up north, and now you have the kurdish issue as welt.
2:09 pm
so turbulent times here, and people will be monitoring how things will develop very closely. >> more on this story, we are joined now -- he is a kurdish writer and journalist. the region is effectively already autonomous, why push for an independent state now, it sounds like the curds are capitalizing on iraq's current crieses. >> maybe that's the case. i think this is the best support for the curds the region is independent. it is true that the kurdish stan region is already semiautonomous, of course it is not a state. once you are a state, you become a member of an international club, and you have more privileges of course. and the kurdss always, felt they left behind of other active groups they could not manage to establish their own state. maybe now they see that as an opportunity for them to do so.
2:10 pm
may made it cheer that all the areas who went in because the iraqi forces left when the islamic state fighters went in, but all those areas controlled would become part of an independent state, now the iraqi government has said it is never going to allow that, that means it is going to become the iraqi government verses the kurdish forces doesn't it? in the long term. >> that would be, of course, -- if declare add kurdish state, the problem would then -- but those areas that the forces are now defending will move to, they are disputed areas. >> it was all the way around. these territories we should not be resorted --
2:11 pm
by 140 of the iraqi constitution until the end of 2007. and the iraqi government, never took the constitution seriously, so the kurdss say that they are in a position to declare that. but i think -- part of history now, maliki is not going to step out of the crisis because maliki is a failure, and he is a responsibility as the commander of the armed forces and as the head of the executive power. he failed to unite the country, and i think even shia groups know -- and i think in the right direction. >> how much international support would people incur in the kurdish areas of iraq have for having an independent state. we want iraq to remain united how much support might they have. >> i think i think the
2:12 pm
kurdish stan state h have a support. the turks have no problem, now they realize the best is between troubled iraq, because kurdss manage to -- >> be peaceful. >> been very very peaceful throughout the time. separated from iraq, and i think the turks have no problem. what is in a position to have a problem with the state, because syria itself and the problem a troubled place, i don't think iran would have a major problem. if they are partners -- have no problem with the kurdish state, i don't think the u.s. will have a problem. >> good to talk to you, thank you for coming.

2:30 pm
top story, that was the process of the killing of a palestinian teenager. speaking been speaking in the past few minutes and he has condemned the murders of the three israeli and the palestinian youth. >> and the foremost right without which the others can not exist is the right to live. and that is why we pursued the murders of gill lad. they deny them that basic rights in such a cruel way. and that is why i unequivocally condemn the murder of a palestinian youth in jerusalem. she joins us high, of course, has condemned the murders on both sides already. but he is also been
2:31 pm
talking about the exchange of fire. that is continuing. >> that's right. he said that if the rockets stop that israel would hold the operation, but if they continue, they would respond it is interesting he says this on a day where there's been 30 rockets that have landed. we just had reports that one soldier was lightly wounded by shrapnel, also two homes were hit by rockets no casualties there, no one was home at the time, but it is direct hits that often these land in open areas. so it is an escalation when it concerns israel, they have responded forceny in gaza. to put this into context, it is a time of -- it's
2:32 pm
in a balance i think. i think both sighs are aware of that, and they don't want to see it launch into a full out war, so i think the prime minister is saying to hamas to get the rockets under control, and if they don't they will respond they will be willing to put this to work. that's when he believes the funeral will be able to take place. >> absolutely. we were just at the home of his family and the mowners -- it's now been delayed we expect that to take place. furious, upset, afraid, of what is going on there's been also a massive facebook campaign in israel.
2:33 pm
where israeli is calling for revenge attacks. death to arabs so this is a real tension on both sides and what has changed here is this' a fear of people taking matters into their own hands. so that is something that is difficult to control. so i think that is something that for sure protests on the streets. anger against what happened and also the first friday in ramadan in their calendar. so i think there's a real will, we know that more police will be deployed and also outside the mossing and then to a funeral. so it will be a big day on friday.
