so mostly the boats don't bother to go out anymore. the land here is first tile and gaza used to have a thriving agriculture industry but with the sealed borders these farmers can't sell their crops. many children have had to drop out of school to support their families in these fields i saw children as young as five spending backbreaking ten hour days picking carrots. they earned just thirty shekels that's about five dollars a day. this is al shoka a village overlooked by gardner airport the whole area was destroyed by israeli tanks in august two thousand and six during a military incursion. israel says it has to carry out these incursions

to protect itself. the people here didn't do anything wrong is houses and the family than them were simply in the way. this mother told me she used to have a three bedroom house with two bathrooms a washing machine and a t.v. . now all she has is a few dusty blankets under some plastic sheet. and boulders just opened. and they came to show they told us to get outside i was scared from the sound it explodes i left all the toys were the bulldozers were they broke my toy they are under the house but they didn't clear us anything except one tree when they were over there. living conditions like this

a particularly hard on children there's no sanitation no clean water and shelter from the cold that's not even a safe place to play. and if the children get sick there are no doctors but even if they were the parents couldn't pay anyway this road runs through the middle of the gaza strip. during the years that israeli settlers lived here it was closed to the palestinians. the settlers left in two thousand and five and the homes were destroyed by these were. many palestinian homes still bear the scars of the battles surrounding the settlement. battles the basheer family. the tall four storey house is situated between a form a settlement village and a palestinian village the israeli military tried to take over the house because it

wanted to use it as a look at the vision but the family refused to leave so the soldiers took the top two floors and the through have six children stayed on the ground to. the first time i saw the soldiers i was scared but i got used to them and then i wasn't so scared. i asked them if i could go to the toilet but the soldiers said no they would not allow me to go. they did not let me so i wet myself. they forced us not sight and i took my dad and myself and they blindfolded me and this was the most scary thing of all. and how do you feel now it's not the soldiers. i'm so happy now they have a gun now i can go out there whenever i like at night and day people can come and

see us i'm happy even my close friends can come visit me and i can go to their houses i mean i'm happy happy happy and so so. was. i as internal tensions rising gaza children have also been caught in the crossfire between hamas and fatah the two leading palestinian political parties. in december two thousand and six three children were killed when their colleagues and little girls in an apparent attack on their father a senior factor intelligence official. over fifty children have been killed in the past three months. and more than half of gaza's children a thought to be suffering psychological damage as a result of trauma and i love have them over the them are all this destruction and

mess we just wanted she moved we want it back as a team used to be before with all the trees we want peace and this for large because we always live in fear and you don't feel safe in these houses i swear we heard the sound of for kits and the noise of shooting and everything would love some peace in this war especially. what would she say to the politicians on both sides the goal of. my first tour is start to the arabs you talk about saving the children and you speak much about children but you don't truly mean what you say because children do not have any rights here. the prime minister of i said to him kill children who are anderson. i think it's because he and the israelis are scared of children. this is because

they think the children will grow up to be fighters it's the opposite i want to tell him the children aspire to be educated go to the university get ph d.'s they want an education they just want an indication. violence poverty politics. daily reality for the children of gaza. in gaza the population is estimated to be about one point four million over hafiz people children just think about what kind of impact passing along the top russian generation it's it's going to be addressed i really do you

want to be a journalist because because. because i like it when i get bigger i'll describe the situation here i'll still everybody how we live how. god willing i would love to be a professor of chemistry at university. that if i do not succeed in being a martyr. when you become the first female president of palestine which i'm absolutely sure you're going to be one of the first three things you're going to do and how if. if i'm president and. i would first give children all there are so they don't have to live in discern yours and misery that we live in. seconds i would you move all the sharpish i would not leave it the way it is now i would see that there are municipalities that could clear the mess left behind by the israeli and third. new country.

children of conflict from two thousand and seven now that was more than ten years ago so what has become of the kids we met in that film in the decade since children of conflict conditions in gaza have to tear ated badly and there were major israeli incursions in two thousand and nine and fourteen we return recently to gaza to find out what has happened to those children who by now a well into the teens on the twenty.

and i want to have them speak of this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up somalia says it's planning a major offensive against the u.s. air strikes killed fifty two of the group's fighters. pitch battles in the greek capital as tens of thousands of people protest a name change deal with macedonia. boss how a licensing law is sounding the death knell for taiwan's ailing traditional medicine industry. a lot of the israeli military has announced the airstrikes on iranian targets in syria video posted to social media reports to show missiles into sept it near damascus on sunday israel said it intercepted a rocket fired at the golan heights from syria. reports from in southern israel. well in a highly unusual move the israeli military is confirming that strikes have been

taking place against targets inside syria as the operation has been going on the movie is saying that it's striking iranian quds forces targets inside syrian territory and it is warning the syrian armed forces against striking against israeli military targets or against israeli territory the syrian state media is saying that its forces have forty what it calls hostile targets over syrian air space now the immediate background to all this is what took place during the course of sunday there were reports of an israeli strike or strikes in and around damascus again syrian state media saying that it had struck against those strikes as they came in and then shortly after that there was a report of at least one if not more projectiles being fired from syrian territory towards israeli territory in the reports were that they were ground to ground projectiles surface to surface missiles potentially now that is relatively uncommon

what is more common is for syrian anti-aircraft fire to potentially it and to towards israeli air space of yes space over the israeli occupied golan heights and there was speculation that there might well be an israeli response to a potential ground to ground attack the slightly longer look at this in terms of the background is what took place the previous weekend when there was an air strike against targets inside syria on the friday and by the sunday israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was publicly owning up to that in fact saying that it was a vital military operation and that such efforts may well intensify during that weekend as well his outgoing military chief of staff got the eyes and caught all but lifting the entire veil of israeli ambiguity on its strikes inside syria over several years now. it was saying that this had been a successful operation against iranian targets inside that country and there had

been speculation at that time that this lifting of the ambiguity policy may well give the syrians the iranians cause to strike more directly at israel now that israel had owned up exactly and publicly to what it was doing is to him to say whether this is an instance of that but that is the background against which what is going on right now in the early hours of the morning is really time which appears to be a pretty significant exchange of fire over syrian airspace. ariel cohen is a senior fellow with the atlantic council he says israeli strikes in syria will continue israel warned for a long time that if you react to the continuous supply of the advanced iranian weapons specifically smart bombs and missiles to hizbullah the iranian fully own subsidiary in lebanon and despite the fact that israel is as they said

hit thousands of targets that process is still continuing. the russians promised israel that they will make sure that the arrangements are moved away from the israeli cities for a line in the golan the russians could not deliver on their promises because if israelis are getting the iranian targets in the damascus airport this is much less than eighty kilometers from the go on and also it means that the russians are not one hundred percent controlling what's going on in lebanon up there is the new chief of staff to hama vivi is just new in the job he is probably changing policies and they're making very clear that they insist that iran stopped supplying offensive rockets to his ball of the threaten israeli civilians this is all about

homeland security homeland defense for israel iran after all is over a thousand kilometers away that theater does not threaten the iranian population it does threaten the israeli population. a turkish president richard has spoken by phone with donald trump to talk about the u.s. troop withdrawal from syria the fate of kurdish fighters in syria has strained relations between the two nato allies told trant that turkey is ready to take over security in the kurdish controlled syrian town of man vision according to the turkish government and also told trump the attack that killed four americans last week was a provocation to influence the u.s. troop withdraw announced last month we're taking a closer look at mandates the town near the border with turkey is currently protected by u.s. backed kurdish y p g fighters who turkey consider terrorists with ties to the kurdistan workers party the p.k. case in recent weeks the u.s.

turkish side of the border because on the other syrian side deeper into. the united states is popping with kurdish fight to turkey consider the terrors. this area in northern syria is a bone of contention between the two countries because the turkish troops want to take charge of that area and the kurdish fighters who are backed by the united states do not want to be. defined as the government rather and these kurdish fighters have been inching towards the government in case. which is created when us forces are not something which is a result that neither the united states want this is a conversation between these two presidents where the turkish president shortly united states president that his country is ready to take over security control and he described the recent attack one of the deadliest on u.s. forces there for americans u.s. military servicemen were killed as a provocation and an attempt to derail the u.s.
