>> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ welcome to the news hour, i'm in al jazeera's headquarters in doha. coming up over the next hour, a u.s. attempt to halt the fighting in gaza implodes after just a few short hours. there has been intense fighting on both sides accused of violating the truce. israel says one of its soldiers is missing apparently captured by palestinian fighters. there may be hope for the people

of gaza yet. palestinians say they will attend talks in cairo. ♪ well, we begin this news hour with the crisis in gaza. the humanitarian truce over after just a few hours. israel says two of its soldiers have been killed another captured. at least 70 palestinians have been killed there by shelling in the last few hours. palestinian president abbas say delegations will travel to cairo on saturday. >> reporter: a truce in name, but tenuous in nature, and perhaps now in tatters. the three-day humanitarian

ceasefire in the gaza strip had just come into effect. both sides agreed to a pause in hostilities. >> israel will be able to continue its defensive operations for those tunnels that are behind its lines, and the palestinians will be able to receive food, medicine, and additional humanitarian assistance as well as to be able to tend to their wounded, bury their dead. >> reporter: but just two hours in, israeli tanks resumed their shelling. the military says it forces came under attack, while decommissioning a tunnel, and an israeli soldier was abducted. but hamas says israel breached the ceasefire when its solders advanced since the raffa

borders, and said the group will not accept any continued israeli operations. >> we talked to the international negotiators that if israel continues its military operation on the ground it is our right to defend [ inaudible ] initiatives against them. >> reporter: there will is no fighting there is devastation. this is the scene of people returning to their homes in one area. >> translator: we found nothing in our houses. what did we do wrong? where will our children go? where can we go? our children don't be to school, there are no hospitals. we thought the arab world would stand with us. there is only god standing with us. >> reporter: an al jazeera ateam arrived to find seem retrieving

decaying bodies. it's been three weeks since israel unleashed its military on the strip and the number of casualties is rising not by the day but by the hour. charles statford is in gaza city and joins us live from there. there was a brief opportunity for you to go into some of the areas that have been difficult to access. tell us what you saw? >> reporter: we headed south, and this place has been the victim -- subjected to some serious israeli bombardment over the last couple of weeks, and it has been closed for the majority of that time. there were hopes today that it would be open. we arrived around about 2.5 hours after the ceasefire in theory had begun, and one of the

first things we heard was israeli tank fire. we don't know why that started, but we tried to push forward into the village. and the scenes of utter devastation just defied belief. people were trying to get their family members -- or try to retrieve some of their belongings, try to pull some of the injured out. it was very unlikely anyone was still living there. we saw people digging bodies out from under the rubble, the smell of decomposing flesh was really unbearable. ambulances had been trying to get in as well. this was a large bank of earth with a craterr that was blockig the ambulances from getting in. one ambulance driver said there were efforts to try to get

bulldozers to try to clear a path. and all of the time there was this tank shelling going on. as we pushed on with people trying to get to the village we heard reports of others that had ventured off of the road and had been taken or hit by snipers. there was a sudden lull, if you like, and then mass panic, and a sudden rush away, as the tank shelling intensified again. it's interesting the tank shelling started at a similar sort of time that we were hearing reports of this missing israeli soldier, and the tank shelling was going from our left as we were going south. but we not con official why that tank shelling started but it was only a couple of hours after the

ceasefire began. >> all right. thanks so much, charles. the former israeli ambassador to spain joins us now. looking at the announcement of this truce, do you think it was flawed in the sense that it was vague an cysts have been saying, and what israeli troops would be allowed to do or not to do. was that a bad start in saying that one side would be allowed to continue operations, but it would still be a truce. >> i think secretary kerry spelled it out quite explicitly. israel was supposed to be able to continue dealing with the tunnels on that side of the border, and the indications are that the israelis indeed abided by the rules of the ceasefire, and they were attacked by a

suicide bomber, and then what we see. so i think that -- that the question that -- that is to be raised here in my view is who runs the show on the palestinian side? it is the political wing or the military wing. my sense it is that it is strictly the political wing. and all civilian spokespersons of hamas do not really represent the -- the main stream or the main effort that is being deployed by the palestinian side. i wish on the israeli side, however, this be assessed cool headedly, and indeed make every -- every effort to pursue the ceasefire and perhaps negotiation in cairo on a more permanent arrangement. >> of course that's the -- that's the perspective or narrative coming out of israeli

sources. we have a very different narrative coming out of palestinian sources who say that it was israeli troops in the east that advanced bond their positions, and this is something that violated the ceasefire. coming back to my question, is the arrangement now going to be -- have to be reviewed diplomatically if we are to get to a ceasefire where you would have a more normal ceasefire, which means exactly that both sides cannot conduct any military operations for 72 hours? >> well, i don't think -- i'm not very optimistic, you see. i think that these blatant violations of the ceasefire will bring about an escalation of -- of the war. i know that benjamin netenyahu tends to be quite risk adverse and nonetheless it will be very

difficult for him to resist the pressure within his cabinet. the scenario of an all-out war that is the occupation of the strip seems to me unrealistic, but we'll see other expressions of escalation, and this is very, very sad. another problem is the diplomatic chaos in the region. the u.s. has lost the clout that it used to have in the past, and nobody is clear whether the egyptians are accepted by all parties. they are accepted by the israelis and the palestinian authority, but it's not very clear if the military wing of hamas does accept egyptian mediation, and then we have the qataries and turks that are not accepted by the egyptians.

so it is not precisely conducive to effective diplomacy right now. so on the very short run -- or the very short-terms i see an escalation i'm afraid. >> all right. thanks for your thoughts on that. we can bring you now the senior fattah official. if i could start by asking you the same question, was this a bad start to a ceasefire where you have a text that says basically one side can continue to do some sort of military operations. shouldn't the ceasefire mean what the says on the can? both sides stop doing everything for 72 hours. >> no, this was knot only about the ceasefire, sammy, i think this is no ceasefire. i think this is another game of see seat by israel. they declared they would adhere to the ceasefire, but up until

8:00 am they were bombarding entire neighborhood, and we lost 16 just 8:00 am last night. 16 civilians by the way. and netenyahu, the israeli prime minister declared that nothing will stop this operation until he achieves his goals, and i see no goals of targeting the palestinian operations on the ground, it is primarily killing the neighborhoods, and on the other hand what we are witnesses now is the creation of huge buffer zones in if gaza all the way from the north to the south. occupying the areas of gaza, and therefore it seems that israel is just playing [ inaudible ] sammy, they want to convince the world that the palestinian side has broken -- the seize.

this could not be further from the truth. >> and probably more as i said -- both sides accusing each other of being the ones that fired the first shot, very, you know, different narratives coming out. ultimately now we have word of palestinians saying they are going to go to cairo. what would be the point of that at this point in time if the egyptians are indicating they don't want to sit down with anybody and have a sort of long-term peace talks? >> well, there is the palestinian united position, and there is the palestinian delegation that has been formed. it is on its way to cairo, and the palestinian president declared the delegation will go to cairo regardless of any considerations -- >> does do you have an understanding that they will be

received by anyone, sir? i mean, who will they sit down with at this point? >> well -- they -- they -- they are going to first present the palestinian position as a united position to defeat netenyahu's main goal out of breaking this truce. netenyahu wants to really declare a cue deta, and he wanted to declare to netenyahu that we are going united. and now to shave whatever can saved from this mayhem. nothing will stop them first except a united position. we really now need the international community to provide immediate shelter and

protection to our people. this is a disaster zone by the meaning of disaster, and the people of gaza not only are being slain but those who are trying to find shelter are being shelled. what is happening as we speak is absolute mad house. it doesn't belong to our era, and what is happening everywhere, people in the streets of gaza are looking for bread, water, for anywhere to live. >> we'll have to leave it there. thanks so much for you thoughts on that. let's take you to kristin now at the united nations. kristin this didn't exactly go according to the un plan. what are officials saying about? >> well, shortly after news that two israeli soldiers had been killed broke, the un special coordinator for middle east piece did issue a statement

saying that the un was trying to corroborate the reports and get information from the ground, but if the reports were true, the about would be a serious violation of the humanitarian ceasefire by gau san militant factions. and he urged all of the parties on the ground to reaffirm their commitment to the ceasefire. and that has been the call from the start from the un. >> i spoke earlier to a senior turkish official. and he said look, this is the west we could get. are the un addressing the issue of why they would allow israel to continue some form of military operations, and yet it is still a ceasefire? >> i -- i think what the turkish

official said was probably the feeling here as well. the un which is dealing with the humanitarian crisis on the ground is desperate to get a humanitarian pause in order to deal with the civilians there. the un is being hindered by the fighting in getting crucial help to the civilians. he hailed the ceasefire as an opportunity to get critical aid to civilians. an opportunity to carry out vital functions like burying the dead, treating the injured and restocking food. they also were hoping for a chance to work on the water system there, which is strained, and the power plant has been knocked out. 90% of gazans are without power, and the un must deliver food and water to the shelters where 10%

of the gau san population are now living. it's interesting to note that the original joint aflouncement from the un and secretary of state john kerry said that forces on the ground would remain in place during the ceasefire. it didn't talk specifically about the tunnels, although john kerry later announced that it would be continuing with its operations. the agreement that the un signed on to was a little more vague and it said ground forces would be allowed to remain in place and didn't go into that much detail. >> all right. thanks so much kristin. let's take it to rosalyn jordan in washington now. where does this leave the next step for kerry's diplomatic plan?

>> sammy that is a big question, because it was very interesting to hear the gentleman from ramallah indicating that the palestinians were still traveling to cairo. the envoy was supposed to be traveling to cairo today as well, we don't know whether his plans will be changed. we still don't know officially what the u.s.'s position is on the apparent breakdown of the ceasefire so soon after it took effect but to come to the larger point of what happens now, i don't think you are going to see the obama administration abandon its efforts to try to stop the fighting between the israelis and hamas. yes, they are very cognizant that both sides have deep grievances, but they also know the mounting death toll inside of gaza is certainly a cause for alarm. and the attack on the school on

wednesday in which a number of civilians as well as un workers as well were killed, the u.s. is desperate to try to stop the fighting. >> all right. thanks so much, rosalyn jordan there with the view from washington, d.c. let's get the view now from west jerusalem. james bayes is there. james if i could, i want to start by reading a statement from the uruguayan statement who -- who called thursday night for, quote, an immediate withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza. now, as we move forward as diplomats try to find a way to salvage this, how much diplomatic attention might be paid to issues like that in trying to restructure any ceasefire arrangement? >> i think they are going to have to really start from the

beginning. interest you mentioned the statement from uruguay. because we have seen quite a few latin america countries pull out their ambassadors from tel-avte. but as you say, sammy, yes, perhaps now there needs to be a different approach. the immediate at it for r -- need at it fors from the start have been the u.s. and the un. we saw john kerry visiting the region, and they were the people who came up with the ceasefire plan. now i think there will be a lot of attention of whether the actual details of the plan were right and whether the wording was right, and whether it was deliberately left ambiguous, and whether that is the problem that emerged here. but i think there are also called for a completely

different approach to this. there are talks of other possib possible components. we know that one of the other participants, the uk i'm told raised the idea of the international community getting involved. raised the idea of international monitors, one diplomat that i spoke to in new york said maybe there is even a roll for piece keepers in there. this ceasefire as we said was a us and un idea, there is also another possible route, there is also the route to the un security council and some sort of security council resolution to end this. that is certainly what some arab countries would like. and i'm told there are some in the israeli foreign minister who believe that could be a possible way out of the situation,

because where we are at right now really is a desperate situation. the 72-hour pause has completely collapsed. and we're staring in the face israeli operations. prime minister netenyahu said hamas and others in the gaza strip will bare the consequences of their actions. >> we were looking at pictures coming from one of the local gazative stations associated with hamas, showing what appears to be some sort of confrontation, targeting what appears to be israeli tanks or something of that nature, and that really underscores the idea that you were mentioning who would want to put their troops in the middle of that right now?

>> no, absolutely. and i think it is also worth remembers, sammy that this is not just one crisis the world has to deal with. the world is dealing with an unprecedented series of crisis right now. john kerry is also constantly looking at the situation in ukraine and while we're all focusing on gaza, you have got to not forget how the death toll continues to rise every day in iraq and syria. >> all right. thanks so much, james bayes there. and these are the live pictures coming in from gaza right now. at least some part of the city there looking relatively calm, but it has been a bloody start to a day that was supposed to be the beginning of a 27-hour truce with dozens of people reported

killed after intense fighting in the south of the gaza strip with both sides blaming each other for violating the truce. a truce, which was worded vaguely say some analysts, that left the opening for potential conflict to continue. ♪ let's take a look at some of the overhead lines around the world. an explosion has flattened the main police headquarters in benghazi. days ago islamic fighters overran the barracks and took control of the city. meanwhile, two egyptians are dead after a protest at the

libya tu knee sheeia border turned violent. hundreds had gather to protest the violence in libya. libyan border guards fired to disperse the crowd. >> translator: there were gunned fired into the air on the libyan side of the border. why? i don't know. i took my things and i left on foot. >> reporter: 21 ukrainian soldiers were killed overnight in eastern ukraine. the servicemen were am established by pro-russian separatists in a town not far from the rebel strong hold of donetsk. their bodies could not be recovered because of non-stop fighting. there has been a series of explosions in a taiwanese city. it happened in a district in the center of the city. a gas leak was reported at the

junction of the 2 main roads. emergency services cordoned off the effective part of the city stretching between 2 and 3 kilometers. >> reporter: an infur know caused by one of the worst gas accidents to hit the area. emergency services had responded to reports of a gas leak just a few hours earlier, and were among those hit. secure if i cameras caught this explosion. terrified people ran out into the street. some tried to help the injured. but many lives were lost. the relatives of a firefighter who was killed came to the hospital shortly after hearing the devastating news. >> translator: six seriously injured people are being monitored. two of them are in surgery. one has suffered a fracture of

the spine and the other a brain hemorrhage. >> reporter: this is what people saw in the morning. the force of the explosions became even clearer in the daylight. >> translator: i live nearby and i heard a loud explosion last night. i was shocked when i saw the street here. it was a mess. >> reporter: the military has sent 1400 solders to take part. >> translator: the troops include a team of geological experts. >> reporter: the go says it is likely the explosions were caused by a gas used in manufacturing. there are a number of petro chemical companies operating in the area. the gas company says its pipes were not affected. care line -- caroline malone, al

jazeera. we have got a tropical depression, just lying off towards the east of taiwan, but you also notice we have another area of cloud further toward the west. it is unusual to have two big systems so close together. this is a tropical storm which is going to develop into a typhoon. this first system is producing a lot of very heavy rain across the islands of japan. that is really heavy rain. now the next point is that this tropical storm, which is eventually going to become a typhoon is going to follow a very similar track across korea and southern parts of japan. al jazeera is planning to send a team to south korea which could see in excess of 2 to 300 millimeters of rain.

so we'll keep you posted. wednesday early hours you'll have sustained winds of about 140, gusts unto 160 and it should start to turn towards the pacific. so we'll keep you posted on that one. but as far as north asia is concerned over the next few days there will be a lot of heavy rain that will continue for some sometime. >> thanks now where to next with the diplomatic efforts? we'll take a look at that after the break.
