10:05 am
internal security service chief addressed an attack on central israel the like of which had not been seen in 3 gaza war since 2008 hamas judge those slummy hamas and the islamic jihad will pay a heavy price for their aggressiveness the blood is on their hands. a mass had warned of a major strike on television if israel targeted residential buildings in gaza a little after sunset after telling the families who lived here to get out israel's military did just that. the israeli prime minister had warned of a gathering intensity and pace of attack the army said the building was in part used by hamas. the promised retaliation came swiftly in a coordinated mass launch towards television. this is 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
10:06 am
tel aviv and explosions heard from our side 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 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 a still another generation experiences firsthand the reality of israeli airstrikes on this crowded impoverished besieged strip of land but. if they want to escalate the resistance is ready they want to stop the resistance is ready if they want to move their hand out of to roussillon the resistance is ready this is the
10:07 am
message that we deliver to all the sides and to whoever is involved. was. and is the crisis deep in between israel and gaza spiting factions a parallel crisis was breaking out within israel's mixed jewish towns in lloyd after a palestinian israeli was shot dead by a jewish man look previous night an explosion of into communal violence this a synagogue set ablaze. the government for sending in security forces usually stationed in the occupied west bank declaring a state of emergency after weeks of tension and sparks of violence the fire has caught and it's spreading very false at al-jazeera so the newsroom. let's talk to neda abraham who joins us live from ramallah in the pied west bank where even this part of the country has seen an increase in tension what is the latest where you are. there are 2 palestinians who were killed by israeli fire
10:08 am
after the israeli army that they did several cities in the occupied west bank the 2 calls to me and where from how broad and g.m. in the south the north off the west bank and 44 palestinians that lead to medical attention and were hospitalized due to the confrontations that usually erupted after the israeli army to palestinian cities now they have rounded up 4044 palestinians most of them are from a mass and this is part of the palestinian the ality under occupation these raids are not new they happen almost on a daily basis but they increase when there are escalation when there is an escalation on the ground and for many palestinians they want to show their anger they want to show their frustration that they are standing with their fellow palestinians the occupied east jerusalem and in the besieged gaza strip this is why
10:09 am
they've been protesting over the past few days in some of these protests one to confrontation with the israeli military so it is a tense situation and it could be escalating given the news that are in that it is coming from gaza and it are looking at the dynamic now do you get a feeling that the palestinian authority are being sidelined because we're not hearing very much from them are we. we can't say that there being a date that they are being told to the sidelines. let's remember that the palestinian authority in the palestinian liberation organization is the spokes or that if sold a percentage of the palestinian people in front of the international community which is why officials say that they want to keep dealing with the conflict with the means reaching out to the international community as well as the land security
10:10 am
council and so on but for many palestinians on the street they don't believe that this is enough and there is a growing feeling among palestinians that israel only understands the language of force so that's why we've seen the protests in the occupied west bank in the past few days people calling them. to respond but there is also at the same time those who believe that when it comes to the dynamics of power israel has the ultimate power when there is a conflict or specifically when there is an armed conflict between the 2 parties and we've seen those people calling for more of a popular uprising and not a militarized the p.l.o. executive committee and the committee are meeting the members are meeting tonight in the presidential headquarters and where we are expecting them to be sending a message to the international community to not just condemn israel we've spoken to the executive committee member who told us that the language that the international
10:11 am
community has been sending wasn't strong enough to curb israeli violations now this was valid when the occupied east jerusalem was the center of events but it is still valid now because we are not hearing a lot of condemnation of let's see more strong language of condemnation from the international community so we expect them to be murdered on that point if you ask palestinians on the streets most of them will tell you this is not. need to abraham that for us in ramallah thank you. well the un envoy for middle east peace to one's land tweeted a dire warning and a demand for fire to stop immediately he added with escalating towards a full scale war lead is an all sides have to take the responsibility of deescalation the cost of war in gaza is devastating and is being paid for by
