8:05 am
groups. in response to the latest huge wave of. airstrikes. all right for the view that thanks so much softball to lose let's cross over now for the whole 41 gazan the day brahimi is live for us from ramallah in the occupied west bank in the west bank by no means need has been isolated from the tensions front. there have been protests spontaneously across the occupied west bank in the past few days and also confrontations that have erupted after the israeli army to different cities in the west bank 2 palestinians were killed by israeli fire one in hebron and one in jean after these night raids by the israeli army. at least according to initial reports them palestinians were rounded up by the israeli army and these nightly raids are not something that is new to palestinians they this time injured 34 palestinians but they usually. something
8:06 am
that palestinians see almost on a daily basis they increase when there are a skill nations but only an old for example let me give you an idea last month 400 palestinians which rounded up and now we are talking about $4000.00 palestinian prisoners in israeli jails so this is kind of their reality on their occupation but when it comes to the escalation that happened in east jerusalem and in the besieged gaza strip would see many take to the streets wanting the palestinian authority to take a harsher the stand and do more. and. look you know to the dynamic now is there a feeling that the palestinian authority is kind of been sidelined by events. not totally because at the end of the day the palestinian authority is the party that engages in talks with the international community as the p.l.o. is the representative for the palestinian people so we can say they're being
8:07 am
sidelined but we can definitely say that palestinians want more from the leadership when it comes to these us conditions there is a growing feeling in the street that israel only understands the language of force and this is why they're praising be attacks that are taking place from the gaza strip with even seen protesters calling upon gaza to respond to the latest escalation in occupied these troops but on the other hand there are those who say that the ultimate power is with israel's hands which means that any military engagement between the 2 parties would leave more losses at the palestinian side and we've seen many politicians talk about that tonight there is a meeting for the p.l.o. executive committee. some for committee members but there isn't that feeling that there is much that the palestinian authority can do they officials are saying that they are sticking to diplomatic measures and means to try and solve this issue but
8:08 am
when we reached out to the p.l.o. executive committee members and chatted with them they said that the international condemnation hasn't been strong enough to curb israel at least that was valid when the escalation was centered in occupied east jerusalem but still we haven't seen many condemnations from the international community so i believe they're going to be asking for more from the united nations security council as well as the arab be all right thanks so much. for sadr falls now from southern israel on this place is escalation in fighting. written in the sky over television the story of just how quickly and decisively this conflict has escalated. to. central israeli suburbs taking direct hits from an enormous barrow of rockets fired out of gaza concentrated into a few short minutes

8:10 am
a wave after wave of attacks coming out of gaza now these rockets are heading in the direction of television we understand there are already sirens being sounded in tel aviv and explosions heard from us had warned that it would launch such an attack if israel destroyed residential buildings inside gaza or the destruction of that large building appears to have led to this big escalation in what already was a dangerous situation. and. it was the 2nd time in a day that such a barrage of being fired this was the effect of the earlier one in the town of ashkelon where 2 women were killed in the. in gaza 2 eruptions of overpowering sudden grief this was the funeral of an 11 year old boy who was killed on monday one child among many dead already in the 1st hours of this conflict still another generation experiences firsthand the reality of israeli airstrikes on this crowded impoverished besieged strip of land. if they want to
