he sees. to it. 20 people including children killed in an explosion in gaza as israel responds to rocket attacks on jerusalem earlier on hundreds of palestinian washed up as were injured when israeli security forces stormed the some mosque. all sorts of the way to reduce tension. and if the situation escalates the u.s. secretary of state joins international calls for calm.

a low i maryam namazie a watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up on the program a journey that deadly for these boss passengers the latest in a string of violent attacks in afghanistan and a major pipeline company comes under cyber attack pumping up prices and threatening the flow of oil to american consumers. welcome to the program at least 20 palestinians have been killed in israeli as strikes on gaza in response to rocket attacks on jerusalem the strikes are continuing with israeli media reporting it's part of a military operation called guardian of the walls as radio fishel say 150 rockets were fired from the palestinian territory and last had threatened an escalation in violence unless israeli security forces left the

a lock some last compound. well on monday morning more than 300 palestinian washed up as were injured when that site was stormed by israeli forces tensions have been running high throughout the muslim holy month of ramadan made worse by the planned evictions of several palestinian families from the chef neighborhood in east jerusalem there is harry force it has more now from outside the mosque. israeli government is saying that it will deal a forceful response to hamas for what hamas has threatened to do and has done in sending 7 rockets long range rockets from gaza swards jerusalem one of them was intercepted the 6 others they fell in open areas and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that this will be a response lasting several days and for some time that that is necessitated by the fact that hamas crossed

a red line and firing on jerusalem now in gaza the israeli military response has already been under way for some time there been wave after wave of rockets coming out of gaza towards the israeli areas near the strip itself and strikes from the air from israeli aircraft into gaza 2 and in one blast alone in beit hanoun at the beginning of that israeli response the palace in health ministry says 9 people were killed 3 of them children now there's been no clarity on this from the israeli military as to whether they were responsible or not for that particular blast but we've been speaking to hamas military sources who say that that was a targeted strike against a palestinian islamic jihad fighter who himself was responsible for firing a anti-tank missile at an israeli civilian jeep at the beginning of this latest flare up in all the passing health ministry is now saying 21 people have been

killed so far so this is a major escalation and the numbers of dead and injured inside gaza amounting. an hour israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was warned of an open ended military operation against hamas following the launch of rockets earlier on monday evening and. this evening on jerusalem day the terrorist organizations in gaza have crossed a red line and attacked us with missiles in the outskirts of jerusalem israel will respond with great force. we will not tolerate attacks on our territory on our capital on our citizens and on our soldiers whoever attacks us will pay a heavy trunk. well you are on the palestinian prime minister mohamad chatah i want to have consequences following the storming of a mosque in many you're familiar. i hold the israeli government fully responsible

for what the worshipers were exposed to in the blessed al aqsa mosque and i warn of the consequences that will result from such incursions as well as attempts to evacuate the people of shake the original owners of the land from their homes why did mr march i called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop these horrific violations and provide protection to the citizens of the palestinian territories especially in the city of jerusalem which is undergoing ethnic cleansing today jerusalem is restoring the glow of the coals on their branches in ramallah and joins us now and i want to ask you about the protests and interest and also demonstrations we've seen elsewhere but 1st what you're hearing anything more about what's happening inside gaza. we've heard just now from our producer in gaza who says that so far when it comes

to the is really strides towards the gaza strip they are not targeting hamas officials or seniors or. billeted in the fields for there have been targeting. so far he expects a serious. or more focused strikes in the upcoming few hours notice that. the situation in particular we've just heard from. is the spokesperson of hamas is a military wing and he said that if the israelis do not end the siege on some mosque compound that they will be seeing a response from hamas in the next 2 hours now this has been said almost an hour ago so we are expecting this to happen in the next hour or so it is still

a tense situation and still confrontation because it confrontations between israeli police and palestinians are still ongoing in the compound near damascus gate which is one of the entrances to the old city but also in different neighborhoods neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem in the occupied west bank as well we've seen many protests that have happened either spontaneously or. have been preplanned and now we are talking about more than 200 injuries the red cross of teens have dealt with these are early adult of confrontations between palestinians and the israeli military in different cities in the occupied west bank including. bethlehem. as you say protest marches taking place sparked by developments around the compound and then also the evictions in east

jerusalem what are we likely to see in the coming days particularly as the if the strikes in gaza continue. if the airstrikes in gaza continue then we are definitely looking out and. we've been saying for a long time that the. that there is tension on the ground that there is a simmering tension that is not necessarily being shown but now with the latest a still ations of the latest developments when it comes to the attempts to evacuate palestinians from their homes a chance to draw on growing in need in this really sucks and on the ground as well as the council nation of the palestinian elections they were going to be the 1st elections in 50 years but the palestinian authority's president counseled them saying because israel did not give a positive response to palestinians when it comes to allowing jerusalemites to cast their ballots so there is

a lot of frustration among palestinians who can't choose their leadership who are still living under occupation and they really don't have much to hope for so they are trying to defend their territory and as we've seen from the latest moves they wouldn't organize and they would more of grassroots people who are just agri what they're seeing living under occupation and many are telling you that their leaders haven't done enough to help support them all right thank you very much to him in ramallah and that's now speech again. in washington and as we're hearing the tensions were already running high in jerusalem but now fears of even more violence and instability in israel in the occupied territories what has been the reaction there in washington. well there's a sense here in washington that by did ministration does not want to tread too

quickly and too deep into a situation that is still very very unpredictable we heard from multiple different washington officials on monday and all of them were preaching basically this variation of the same thing deescalation there urging calm on all sides and really trying to to deescalate the situation as much as they can at least with their words not so much at least now anyway with u.s. actions so far the highest ranking u.s. official that we've heard from is secretary of state anthony blinken he was meeting in washington with his jordanian counterpart about unrelated matters it was a preplanned meeting but he did speak out and this is a little bit of what the u.s. secretary of state had to say. all sides say yes the way to reduce tension take the steps to calm things down. some of the stuff we see in the last the last 24 hours to want to really. brady and putting off

a decision on bridges but it's a very good that all sides that steps to. deescalate the situation. now there is growing calls from various democrats within congress that are pressuring biden administration officials privately that biden should be doing more and be more engaged on this but so far all we're hearing from by demonstration officials is that. perhaps the u.s. could play a mediation role but it would be in a medium or long term not in an immediate situation but bottom line here is that joe biden wanted to spend the most of his time in the early stages of his presidency on domestic issues such as the vaccine rollout covert $1000.00 vaccine rollout and the u.s. economy but it is looking increasingly u.i. could this could be his 1st foreign policy crisis that he has to deal with and it's

unsure unclear i should say how much longer the u.s. can remain on the sidelines thank you very much from washington. well now in afghanistan the government and the taliban is saying they'll both observe of wrath 3 day cease fire for the muslim holiday of aid late need later this week comes after a deadly weekend topped off by a surge in violence across the country with the latest explosion killing 11 people traveling on a bus in the southern province of zabul charlotte ballasts reports. traveling in a bus through southern afghanistan these passengers were approaching a chick point around midnight when the bus drove over a mine the journey no one of recovery a new ice regional hospital the latest casualty in an increasingly insecure country
