hello i'm sick of this is live from doha also coming up. north korea releases new photos showing kim jong un overseeing weapons tests. i final rally by supporters of south africa's ruling a.n.c. before wednesday's election. following israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is all in the military to continue its attacks on gaza day and night israeli airstrikes and palestinian rocket attacks have left thirteen people dead israeli warplanes attacked several areas with more than two hundred airstrikes on saturday evening nine palestinians were killed in gaza including a pregnant mother and a fourteen month old baby the israeli attacks coincided with palestinian fighters

firing hundreds of rockets into southern israel four people in israel were killed. all in the israeli prime minister says he has no plans to slow down the bombardment of gaza. and leave. this morning i instructed the idea to continue its massive attack against terrorist elements in the gaza strip and i've also asked to buffer the forces around the gaza strip with armored forces artillery and infantry hamas bears responsibility not only ports attacks and actions but also the activities of the islamic jihad and it pays a very heavy price. but the reality inside gaza shows the impact. after prayer someone called me and said he is from the occupying israeli army he asked if any members of the media were in my building i told him yes he then told me to document the building within half an hour then they came and hit the building

with five rockets exactly half an hour later. area is safe and away from the borders and the military locations so we didn't expect to be told that it in fact during people from everywhere lived their places and came to us what happened proves that all of gaza is not safe there is not a single safe area they used rockets and destroyed everything that. the palestinians have started burying those who were killed in this latest flare up of violence israel has denied responsibility for the death of the pregnant woman and the fourteen month old child does it as it has been inside gaza and sent this report. if you also. this residential building destroyed yesterday by an israeli raid within the district in gaza the building was in the most well known and famous commercial areas near a big mall and one of the red cross headquarters in gaza the building itself had

many shops whose owners began to come here to know the size of losses because they were ready with huge quantities of goods and commodities prior to the holy month of ramadan that will be followed by two main muslim feasts some shops have been completely destroyed most of the goods have also been destroyed there was also shelling to some buildings to host press and media offices. forcing joins us live now from the israel gaza border so harry what is the latest that you're getting there on the current state of things on the ground. well it's certainly an extremely dangerous escalation it seems like the most dangerous one of the many we've seen in recent months and that's because the kinds of killings that we're seeing on both sides as you reported these release have announced that they have targeted and killed an israel hamas commander a man named howard. he is said to have been linked quite closely to the

leader in gaza yassin was and the chief facilitator of iranian money coming into gaza to then dole out to the various factions within gaza and on the israeli side we've now seen four israelis or at least four people killed on the israeli side so far we're not confident yet that all four are definitely israeli citizens but we do know that there was one israeli casualty in ashkelon overnight a factory was struck in ashkelon during the course of the day two people were killed in the course of that attack and also a vehicle was struck and a woman who was inside that vehicle killed some brigades the fighting faction for the the military wing of hamas says that it fired an anti-tank missile at a vehicle during today's military x. changes as well and so this is. of all of the escalation that we've seen in recent

months and which have been deescalated after a certain period the stakes on both sides do seem to be bigger and that may means that both sides have reasons to spur them on towards further attacks as well as reasons to step back. now we see any sort of restraint change in strategy here hereon these attacks. well certainly in recent months israel has been relatively careful not to go directly after. fighters in large numbers inside gaza at least a lot of the attacks have been targeted on bases in training camps and storage sites which they could have expected to have been evacuated and which indeed in most cases were of course there have been many photos of several fatalities during that course of events as well but this time they are specifically saying they are targeting fighters especially when they're in the midst of

a rocket launching activities and now they're saying that they have specifically targeted this car inside gaza city taking out the car and killing this relatively senior commander inside. charged with with these financial transactions from iran as well as that they've been targeting the homes of mid-level commanders as well and so this while it might not yet be a return to the targeted assassinations of very senior leadership figures that we saw several years ago it does represent a step up in the in the israeli tactics and potentially likely to elicit a more heavy response from orisa be calls for that from hamas in turn harry for said thank you. now iran is vying to bypass u.s. sanctions on its major oil customers by using the so-called gray market illegal but

unofficial way to export goods iran's deputy oil minister says all resources are being mobilized to keep up the exports after the u.s. lifted sanctions waivers on iranian oil importers including china and india iran is dismissing the american accusations of using oil revenues to destabilize the region on a chair attack in an international oil and energy consultant and a former research offset opec in vienna he explains some of the methods iran can use to bypass the u.s. sanctions i think. within the us the sea trade there are hundreds of tankers moving around here and there and the tankers go to different ports load and unload and so on so it is tracking all these seeings which may not be one hundred percent definite and accurate as united states ones and also there are ways and means that we have read in the newspapers that the tankers when they get off

into the open sea they may switch off some of their signals and so on so they would not be tracked and then changed name change papers i am no expert but these have happened before in the last few years iran has been on the sanctions and iran has been exporting its oil but of course there would be less than it would have been otherwise what the united states is doing is either legal to get out of it iran wants to do the best it can so reaching the signal navigation signal would be of course against the safety of the of the tanker which is doing it it is not illegal our legal expert but when you are put in a corner you try to do the best you can. the youngest brother of algeria's ousted president is under arrest say the deflate car was the country's effective ruler after his brother suffered a stroke six years ago katty are not as whole diane reports another well known face
