sport we have even now more on the way again later. well just before we go an update on the breaking news a with israeli strikes on gaza israel saying the strikes are in response to two rockets fired earlier from the gaza strip towards tel aviv there were no reports of damage or casualties and hamas which controls gaza has denied its fighters launched the rockets more on the situation in gaza in just a moment stay with us. a

with one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis we dealt as illegally maigret joining with the military to impose a deadly political agenda they have to foot our nation what has happened to their attention that's one of the biggest stains on the country as a whole. as another religion this is the politics me and an unholy alliance on al-jazeera. explosions in gaza israel launches air strikes after rockets were fired towards. a life from a headquarters and. this is

a moment to story. u.s. senators vote to terminate border emergency declaration the president promising to veto. british politicians try to put the brakes on but the final decision rests with. you still say saudi arabia. have been brought to justice. hello israel's military says it's launched airstrikes on gaza. were fired towards. the israelis say they're carrying out the attacks on how must targets they blame hamas for the rockets fired at tel aviv the first such attack since twenty four. denies the attack its leaders are holding truce talks with egyptian mediators on a long term ceasefire with israel but israel security minister was quick to point

the finger in his direction. two rockets were shot from the gaza strip on to give this continues about a year of rockets from the gaza strip on the citizens of southern israel it's time to defeat hamas it's time to act in your laterally demilitarize in order to defend israeli citizens so we have two reporters covering the story we'll speak to that in a moment but first over the heavy fall said it was to receive them so tell us if there's any official israeli comments on gaza. so far still that very brief statement from the israeli military saying that the strikes had begun this retaliation for those two rockets that were launched from gaza earlier on thursday evening were saying that naftali bennett the education

minister you heard from just then is from a different party from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu a right wing party he has long advocated a much tougher response to hamas in gaza so it is within his usual political dialogue to speak in that way there has been we understand an instruction to israeli ministers not to give interviews so he's obviously decided to disregard that in terms of the strikes themselves we're hearing that so far they have not been in the center of gaza city. colleagues in gaza telling us that they have been largely around the fringes of gaza strikes targeting hamas installations police training centers and the like and the the israeli military is saying that it cannot say for certain who fired the rockets hamas and islamic jihad have both denied it but they these rallies do hold hamas responsible for everything that happens in and

emanates from gaza and they are holding to that line in this incident as well and for netanyahu himself how risky could any decision he take be politically considering their upcoming elections. well of course this does all play into the very feeble already election period it's been an extremely dramatic campaign during which has been facing up against a much stronger opposition than might have been expected one led by the former israeli military chief benny gantz and he has two other of his predecessors in that party with him so while having to project strength in terms of the israeli political scene netanyahu also has to worry about the potentially very unpredictable even catastrophic consequences of a major military escalation so it's a small target that he's aiming at politically as the israeli military of course is

targeting gaza with its with its strikes he has to try and gauge it be to be strong enough not to be criticized for being too soft on hamas as he has been for many months now not least from the taliban and from whom you heard earlier but also not so strong as to demand a major response from hamas which of course could then leads to further escalation on each side potentially leading towards a war ok thank you now written it out on the occupied west bank to talk us through what you're hearing about the situation on the ground right now in gaza. it's difficult to assess how many posts or locations have been targeted by the israelis so far but we are hearing from our colleagues in gaza that most of the sites that have been targeted so far have been empty sites by hamas we know that hamas has emptied those sources and evacuate those places and

evacuated them upon the release of the two rockets into israel so we haven't seen or heard of any patients or any injuries at the moment so this could potentially mean that it's going to escalate it's not going to escalate more than that but it's yet to be seen in the next few hours if we're going to be hearing about more injuries. or not ok and as we're reporting that israel pointing the finger at hamas saying that they were behind the two rockets into. hamas has been reacting to that what can you tell us so how mass has been denying the fierce for the any involvement in those rocket attacks and they have actually been saying that they will target those who have launched attacks and they would hold them accountable we've heard the statement from the ministry of interior saying that they would that the launching of these rockets has been

outside the national consensus we've heard have mass leaders talk in the past that they are interested in a long term ceasefire with israel and they do not want to engage in any war or any escalation ok jim adopted from thank you the u.s. senate has voted to revoke donald trump's the correction of a national emergency on the border with mexico several members of the president's own republican party sided against him our white house correspondent kelly reports on how trump responded are there any centers wishing to change their vote. a humiliating for puke by members of his own republican party the joint resolution is passed on thursday twelve republicans in the senate joined democrats to overturn the u.s. president's emergency declaration that provides roughly eight billion dollars in funding for a us mexico border wall to halt illegal immigration democrats oppose the move on

moral grounds why didn't he just declare an emergency for a ship the government gives a thirty five day what cost the economy billions and billions of dollars if you can just do this by declaring an emergency well the easy answer for that is it's not an emergency but republicans pushed back for a different reason for concern president donald trump is abusing his presidential powers they fear a future democratic president might do the same or this declaration is a dangerous precedent. already democratic presidential candidates are saying they would declare emergencies to tear down the existing border wall to take away guns to stop the oil exports to shut down offshore drilling and other left wing enterprise when the vote did not go in his favor trump said he would stop the legislation by vetoing it essentially allowing his declaration to stay in place

we're going to have hundreds of miles of wallet fairly soon and it's going to make a very big difference but the senate could overturn trump's veto but would need the support of two thirds of senators to do so the fight against trump's border wall continues in the courts sixteen states nearly all of them led by democratic governors are suing the u.s. government in an attempt to block the national emergency kimberlee health at al-jazeera the white house now over to rob renault's who's at the border and he said drove to tell us what people there think of president trump's national emergency. well. you'll find many people who work with migrants rights groups or advocates legal assistance and so forth saying that there is no true emergency here in the southern california right by the border but the

emergency is over there on the mexican side that's where thousands of migrants are waiting and because of the trump administration's policy of going very slowly in processing their asylum applications they are waiting long periods of time in shelters some in tents and want to it's a very dangerous city it's become recently a city with one of the highest homicide rates in the world so. the consensus among the migrant assistance community is that unless the trump policies change and more migrants are allowed to come in as is their right to claim asylum in the united states and receive assistance from the u.s. government there will be further humanitarian problems ok rob thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera warnings of more death and destruction in southern africa as a site for bears down on places already hit by flooding. and the want to. devastation
