2:03 pm
a forceful reaction israel will not tolerate this i will not tolerate it and as we speak as i told you mr president just now israel is responding forcefully to this wanton aggression the israeli army also deployed more troops to the gaza border it reported more rockets being fired from gaza into israel many were intercepted the rest fell in rural areas netanyahu is in the midst of an election campaign where he's been criticized by his main rival army chief benny gantz for not being able to contain the situation in gaza there are no good options at this point in time for prime minister nasser now i think he's ignored this for a long time he played lots of games with a gyptian zone the palestinians over the last several months and he couldn't reach a long term ceasefire as it was expected with egyptian assistance. israel has also
2:04 pm
closed two vital border crossings into the gaza strip a lifeline the provides food a medical supplies to the coastal lankan a neurosurgeon monley al jazeera. joins us from the border fence between israel and gaza so harry was so latest we know on on how this cease fire is holding if the cease fire is old. well it it wasn't really holding the course of last night at least under any you strict interpretation of a ceasefire in the minutes before it was due to come in according to hamas spokes people and officials at ten pm last night there was a major barrage of rocket and rejects all fire coming out of gaza there after they were further israeli strikes around the strip and there was a secondary similar episode around three am in the morning with according to israeli military about thirty more projectiles coming out of gaza and then in the early hours before dawn further
2:05 pm
a fifteen sites were targeted according to the israeli army what has changed during the course of the daylight hours is that we haven't seen any further action from other side but there does continue to be a major military presence obviously as there always is around gaza bit two extra brigades have been mobilized we've seen tanks and israeli armor on the back of carriers we've seen a a big group of israeli tanks in a field through the trees on our way here this morning so that there remains that side of things as far as the messaging going to israeli civilians they've been told that schools are shut they've been told not to go to work unless it is an essential job or for non-essential job there is a bomb shelter very close by in gaza our colleagues there tell us that the situation is relatively normal that people are on the streets perhaps not in this
2:06 pm
great numbers as usual and that schools while officially open people aren't sending their children to schools because they are aware that this remains an extremely sensitive period are inherent hasa life on the israel gaza border thank you let's get a step and decker who joins us live from us for us and stephanie is again saying there there is anticipation that that prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be returning home soon there are elections going on there's a lot of a lot of things he is tasked with managing what is the past tell us about how he might handle this going forward. who's actually just landed so he's making his way to the defense ministry in tel aviv to meet his security cabinet a lot of pressure on him michel as you mentioned there were two weeks from a hotly contested is ready election so what's next well we're going to be briefed by senior military commanders about what the situation is like on the ground in gaza what the options are when it comes to any potential military campaign a broader campaign so to speak is what we saw last night he's under
2:07 pm
a lot of pressure from other politicians also from members of the public and some in the media saying that this so-called cease fire which incidentally israel hasn't commented on this is something that they always do they never comment on cease fires with how mass makes him look mason look weak basically what they're saying is that israel has lost its power of deterrence when it comes to have mass however if a broader scale military operation something that could potentially involved ground troops is something again that the prime minister doesn't want and certainly is ready public doesn't want and also you have to also the question whether a militia campaign can achieve a long term solution as i think even this administration has realized over time that there needs to be a long term political solution to the situation in gaza otherwise you will be seeing these escalations come and go having said all that i think significantly now we're just going to have to wait and see what is discussed what comes out of the security cabinet and whether this fragile cease fire which at the moment seems to
2:08 pm
be holding whether they're going to decide to change any sort of military campaign going forward all right stephanie decker live for us in lester's and stephanie thank you. as a haas official and he says unless things change in the occupied gaza strip tensions with israel will continue. this is not the first round of confrontation i will not be in the last one i think the seeds of the confrontation and conflict and clashes is still existed because of the it patient because of the siege imposing gaza so i have a good dump that this will last for a long time and list we. can leave to cease fire agreement and this siege is lift and book it was live and people learn jordi their freedom did a prosperity opening the gates and the freedom of access i think that they will see
2:09 pm
you witness another round of confrontation in gaza all policy infection all committed to the understanding have been the last night but now i am talking about the. ceasefire agreement truth was managed by the egyptians to mediate does we expect that a gypsy will continue and use their talks because i said unless we have a complete ceasefire agreement there clashes that this tension will continue in gaza so i think israel should understand that without resolving the problem without the lifting the siege and the book it in gaza there will be more out of a tension more out of confrontation the tensions in gaza and the u.s. recognition of israeli sovereignty over the occupied golan heights or discussed at the united nations diplomatic editor james baser parts the u.n. secretary general here in new york is watching the situation in gaza with great concern. he's long warned of the dangers of a new conflict
2:10 pm
