to do that with no host and no limitations the corporation. and. we have to reduce our consumption here but we also need economic justice for. studio unscripted. 'd this is al-jazeera. 1300 hours g.m.t. hello i'm maria with the news hour on al-jazeera dominated by developments in israel and the occupied palestinian territories. israel has pounded gaza with air strikes hitting residential and government buildings while targeting hamas 53 palestinians have been killed.

palestinian rockets meanwhile falling on israeli towns and cities killing 5 civilians and one soldier. the violence is also spilling into israel's mixed israeli palestinian communities including the city of lead where the man has likened it to a civil war. and the united nations is warning this spiraling price is at risk of becoming a full scale conflict. over the sport as the u.s. track and field team cancel a preempt training camp in japan over the current virus pandemic. just gone 4 pm in the gaza strip is in the grip of the most severe escalation of violence since the 2014 war through the night and into the day israel has been launching air strikes destroying a police headquarters and government buildings residential buildings as well

buildings which houses media offices they've all been hit this one actually right across the street from the al-jazeera gaza bureau. and you see the destruction from inside our offices journalists having to take cover thankfully they are all safe but at this point at least $53.00 palestinians have been killed since monday and that includes 14 children now the armed wing of the palestinian group hamas and its allied factions of also launched more than a 1000 rockets aimed at southern and central israel killing 5 civilians and a soldier. that's what the israelis call the iron dome intercepting the rockets which have a large range tel aviv's in the north to the south. and while all that was happening there is a parallel crisis going on in israel's mixed towns we've got palestinian and israeli neighborhoods huge progress in live with the mess described as being like

a civil war here's what prime minister benjamin netanyahu had to say. cama hospital we were in a struggle on multiple fronts last night after debates and decisions at the defense ministry headquarters concerning the gaza strip and wanted to aim to lid another front of anarchy that has opened decisions to deploy forces there were given and today in the afternoon in our crew as well we continuing our if it's to stop the energy and restore governance to the cities of israel with an iron fist if needed with all forces needed and all of dorothy's required ok up that's coming away from our reporters need to bring him in ramallah in the occupied west bank i'll be with you shortly need i want to start with harry for 6 again in southern israel what are we i said 4 o'clock i think it is and this is sold yesterday certainly when we started to see the escalation and gals and then into the night it all went even further. yes and i think we can expect another pretty

major escalation in the coming hours given what we're just hearing from the israeli military on a couple of fronts there are several moving developments which i'll try and run through the israeli military says that it carried out. an operation in which it targeted senior members of the hamas military wing the arca some brigades close to its leader mohammed day if they according to the military are people who are involved in. rocket production in. intelligence and there were 6 of those senior commanders who the israeli military says have been killed another 10 operatives who work in those sorts of fields also killed in that operation earlier there was an anti-tank weapon fired out from gaza or it struck an israeli military jeep one person killed in that incident with 2 others injured one

of them critically and there are indications that there are expectations at least that the. brigades are going to fire back in fairly strong response to what took place in terms of that operation the israeli military was talking about earlier there was another heavy barrage of 50 rockets fired towards ashdod and ashkelon slightly to the north of us and of course throughout the night before that there were several heavy barrages as well with casualties on the israeli side here could you take us back to that night time i was watching you last night in the team there with those extraordinary pictures of of the the iron dome intercepting the palestinian rockets talk us through that and what it was actually like being on the ground there and having to take shelter. well i mean we've been down here on several occasions during the last few years when there have been rounds of

of these escalations and certainly. we have experience before the rockets coming out from from gaza overhead and those very loud blasts when the iron dome intercepts and usually they are in a much smaller number than what we've been seeing in the last few hours and often the the operators of the iron dome have or or at the system itself has the capacity to distinguish between rockets that are threats to israeli territory and those that are likely to fall in open areas or even within gaza territory it themselves however this is all a very different order it's a mass attack wave after wave it seems designed to try to get a proportion of those rockets at least through the israeli defenses and that's been what's been happening over the last 24 hours or so yeah it was extraordinary to watch and terrific reporting from you and the team there as well thank you very

forces there in southern israel now to ramallah the occupied west bank neda abraham bringing us up to date with what we're hearing from the palestinians from as far as the death toll goes unfortunately and the likelihood of more conflict today. we have already 2 palestinians who lost their lives after israeli or the israeli army raided several cities in the occupied west bank and confrontations have erupted this is something that happens almost daily when the israeli army raids palestinian cities to arrest palestinians this time the they are arrested at around $46.00 and usually it's the daily numbers around 10 or 15 so there is huge with the there is indeed an increase when there isn't a skill ation and while some people are really rested for. issues related to their activism others are detained for issues related to their opinions and for

even posting on social media which just became a huge battlefield for palestinians and joining me here now to talk about this is. which is an arab center specializing in social media can you tell me how easy or difficult has it been to talk about the palestinian cause on social media as you may know and it's been hard time for palestinians to tell their story to tell their nation on the social media over the past week we have monitored and documented hundreds of cases that were taken down about content taken down or accounts especially is because palestinians are only documented what's happening on the ground they are only the commented the human rights violations that they are encountering on the on the ground and we are we are talking about cases for palestinians not only. being arrested as you mentioned because of their digital activism or because of their of their opinion but we we can also mention that

violation of the privacy because many of the worshippers who were in that a lock someone else they were also getting s.m.s. as a from the israeli intelligence they they were telling them that you was here in the uk someone else and we will hold you accountable and this is like. threatening palestinians and intimate them that and this is like something screaming palestinians but most of the palestinians this clear shot these messages and they post it on the grill on the social media telling the people that we want go back because of these messages we will continue going to lock and so on that content that was taken down and that counts especially is where in different social media platforms we can start with instagram facebook and twitter most of the content that was taken down was on instagram and on facebook why that account suspensions was basically focused on twitter and we can see like many other cases like like hiding specific hashtags like a hash tag and we get we have monitored like hundreds as i mentioned of cases like

this and this is contributing to the systematic effort that the israeli government and the cyber unit in israel that they using to silence a spell athenians from telling our story and the commenting our human rights violated by human rights violations that's against us and we're seeing more and more celebrity influencers people who have millions of millions of followers tweeting and talking about the palestinian issue how do you think that's helping palestinians to spread their case further actually this is very important point because they are amplifying the palestinian voices they are un peu flying by human rights violations that that that we are encountering on the ground and this actually could help us in front of the social media companies and much more in the international level to bring much more support there is who can know what's happening in palestine and maybe can support from their digital activism or from

their other other ways of supporting so this is very important and there was also calls from friends and propel east indians activists who are outside of palestine that this is the time for palestinians for the palestinians on the ground for the palestinians activists to amplify their voices you. them tell their stories if the social media companies are venting them or silencing demo contributing in silencing them lit we as activists to open the floor for them open the digital space for them to tell their story and to believe that there narration thank you so much more and we've seen a lot of criticism on social media directed also towards the palestinian authority where palestinians say it's not doing enough to help their cause it's there and some i call to are saying if the palestinian authority is not being part of the solution that it is being part of the problem can i thank you for all of that's needed abraham and your guest there in ramallah and actually later will be along a little bit later with more social media reaction to what's happening got

a tweet here as well from the u.n. envoy for middle east peace toward venice lend his well it's a dire warning frankly a demand for the fire to stop immediately he says we are escalating towards a full scale war leaders on all sides have to take the responsibility of deescalation the cost of war in gaza is devastating and is being paid by ordinary people. my daughter in law and my grandson died and my granddaughter is missing without any trace the jews target women and children my son's wife was 5 months pregnant this is terrorism they bombed them without any warning they didn't warn them the house had nothing but the kids. what should i say this is a crime they were civilians a woman the children a barber shop owner these are the people who were at the sink they didn't have the militants nor an official we are civilians sleeping at our homes. i would like.

some kind of find a solution with. well it was a really scary night. my friends who live in remote places where even more scared but they're used to this reality of missiles being fired from the gaza strip and all of israel's and it's a very scary situation to be. very pleased to welcome to the news she is and girls are human rights activist. first of all how are you how are you after last night. thank you very much good now you're a real picture for us for just a 2nd there i was wondering if we were going to see you or not. i was looking your twitter feed a little bit earlier and you've been showing what's been going on around gaza we had a picture actually of your i believe it's the house you grew up in let's have a look if we've got that one. we're just having

a look at it now tell us more about this. what are you going to write. you know unfortunately this is a very bad law and i don't think we're doing too well with this we will try to reconnect with you and talk to you again. later on because that's an indication of life and how electricity and internet connections not great even not in a time of conflict where we've got more coverage of events in israel and the palestinian territories. and the rest of the day's news filipino nurses been on the front line during the pandemic across the globe but that's come at a personal cost. and some sports news to the dutch champions spank their fans by giving them a little piece of the trophy. but joey will have that story. india

working as a nurse meant that it was always going to be a possibility and. i was afraid my family would get sick if they got sick because i had that exposure they employ ease the sense who are called that bus at the. his fears came true he became a patient at the government hospital where he works his father then tested positive for cope at 19. and his mother and grandmother showed symptoms of us here for your health worker one of them so i'm a health worker so i'm pretty sure i am the one who brought the bios whole i believe but that they. almost 6 and a half 1000 nurses in the philippines have contracted coronavirus in the united states a report last september said a 3rd of 200 nurses there who died of cold in 1000 were filipino yet many

filipinos still choose to work overseas filipino nurses are some of the most in demand in the world but here in the philippines they're overworked they're underpaid and throughout the full one flu pandemic they've had to beg for the rest pay and benefits d.g. was $1.00 of a handful of nurses who joined the may day labor rights demonstrations not the 1st time nurses have taken to destry tz to air their grievances all health and health workers are happy to leave her bed to hear him talk that many of them on my blog. that the government made her do i have. come to america and then there was. the difficulty of claiming colvin 1000 benefits has weighed on d.j.'s mind you could find work in another country that would mean leaving his family behind barnaby low i'll just 0 manila

cuba is starting its 1st mass vaccination rollout using 2 locally produced shots currently in phase 3 clinical trials overall cubans had 5 or has 5 vaccines in different stages of development. the country has been praised for its robust and to make response. with low infections and deaths compared to wealthier nations we've got it in joining us from havana starting a vaccination campaign with that things that are still in trials is that is that normal is it safe. depends who you ask on the one hand in the united states and europe regulators do not allow what's happening in cuba they made a system that all vaccines had to pass through phase 3 clinical trials before they . campaign has begun these 2 cuban vaccines are undergoing

a phase 3 trials right now and they're supposed to trials on expected to be finished until next month. the health minister the other day tried to justify the decision by pointing to a deteriorating situation here in terms of health in terms of coronavirus. how to very very good 2020 but the last few months the cases are really going off and they're not being able to bring them down the evidence shows the full cost that's still going to go speak to keep in scientists they say that it is safe because unlike. you i mean i should say that in russia india and china they also did what cuba has done they allowed nation to start before phase 3 results were in and human scientists say that unlike for example space patnaik vaccine unlike johnson and johnson unlike buys a which all made with new technological platforms which had never been used on demick on human beings and preventative vaccines even one is based on

a very very well known technological platform that's been around for 30 years so what they're saying is they know that stuff they've also done over $400000.00 injections doses in the clinical trials interventions without work because it's something us well it seems impressive in and of itself cuba such a small country has developed its own vaccine how has it done that given the limitations as well in isolation that it has to deal with. it is pretty extraordinary of the 90. in this around the world that are currently undergoing clinical trials 5 of those a cuban on this is in a population of 11000000 people a 6th of the world's population. and it's all the more incredible given the sanctions that cuba is under i mean right now that there are bread shortages around have ana right now the state is doling out cooking oil from the world food

programme i've been here 8 years i've never seen privation and people like this but you know on the other hand co-existing with this with this reality of scarcity you're seeing scientific progress i think i think part of the answer is simply that it was always a big priority for the cuban government and fidel castro was was a mount obsessed with public health and he founded what sport in cuba the biological front in 1901 and then a lot of resources and mines and and human capital were put into the biotech industry over the last 40 years and the results of what we're seeing now really interesting stuff thank you for that. it august in in havana let's take you back to gaza or we were trying to skype with sony a little bit earlier human rights activists not a great connection unfortunately but hopefully you can hear me on the phone now 'd . ok thank you for your time thanks for your patience as well tell us. about last

night about the israeli bombardment of what it was like for you and your family. yeah last night actually was the harshest of go. my 2013 the israeli offensive 1 9 9 patient critics of edge it was actually the harshest brutal where hundreds of civilians were injured and a number others where killed today the israeli occupation is targeting dozens of places in the gaza strip a few hours ago early in the morning actually dozens of israeli war saying several places we will go up to the sound of much of bumping of several places across the gaza strip. at the same time by more than 100 missiles carjackings of those neighborhoods then people can take a neighborhood action at that time i can assure you that. it was 6 o'clock in the morning 9 the 2000000 residents of the gaza strip were once key things of the one

was the way come to be intensive bonding and actually living i was eventually though being on the list of gaza here 9 i must be. 9 comforted maybe or even by knowing that the years eventually the dinka i live in is totally civilian and no military or. 9 resistance members. but actually. we have already prepared back to our luggage and i just go back with the we've also got gas or i want to interrupt you because you talk about you know you're your residence and we've got a picture from your twitter feed you tweeted us about a house ago i'm having a look at the building where you spent most of your childhood in gaza yeah i mean tell us about but do you know that everyone got out safely from the. yes it was

actually at my grandfather's house and d yeah an apartment that the things which something hundreds of apartments actually. compound not only one pending in a compound of a couple building i'm sure that there where many injuries in the attack but more reports actually we have our eye about the d 3rd of those killed in the attack what you can see it from the pictures that the the law says are huge. what would you do if you knew there was an attack on the way so the israelis always say that if they are going to hit a building to what they call the door knock i think when i drop a small bomb and let people know that it's coming if you have to get out of the building and this is the street where would you go well actually this stuff say about nothing ok so it's rainy explosives more and there's

a bunch of prisoners with those things. i have been evacuated from my residential building before maybe in 2008120020082009 also in 2014 i was evacuated from my apartment. 9 after the israeli had my power that was where i live then so there was no way 9 i knew there was no warning 9. many of my neighbors so it's not a situation of choice for us pierre we have to leave at any moment so that's why we have back to our luggage and 9 bags so that's when we see the power would get sponsors we would leave. and so i am glad we could talk to you in the end and you could share those stories with us thank you for your time today. also with us from gaza now a reporter. tell me how things are at the moment here and

a bit of noise behind you. yes actually the situation is just getting from bad to worse it's erupting every moment the air strikes are still violently going over it like the entire gaza strip just half an hour ago another building residential building that is actually opens it to the building where i reside with my family it was completely destroyed like the kids everyone in the neighborhood was totally. terror and extremely afraid traumatized * the israeli the israeli army stated that it also killed today 6. but the hamas brigades which is not something that is easy to pass by this means that there is distance is going to retaliate to these crimes there is a sense has

a radius set that it is going to retaliate the crimes of the occupation specially in directly targeting. the buildings off of the civilians which apparently the patient does not want to stop doing until this moment despite all the condemnations despite all the threatenings by the factions and activists that are condemning what is going on the policy of targeting civilian buildings is still going on according to the ministry of health until now 53 people have been killed 14 of them are children and more than 300 people are injured the number is like rise every now and then with every air strike that we hear along the gaza strip you know so i don't know if there is any chance that. i don't think that in the. coming time dect. the situation is going to get any easier it does not seem

that international mediators like the european union which is so which said that it's trying to reach an understanding or a truth between both sides in jerusalem and in gaza it does not seem that anything soon is going to happen and this is what the civilian specially in gaza are fearing that things with iraq to even more than they are now. reporting from gaza there thank you for that now joining us from west jerusalem nuff tony bennett who served as israel's defense minister in 20192020 is the chairman of yemenia and israeli political alliance mr bennett thank you for your time today we do appreciate it you would have heard me speaking to the reporter there in gaza and perhaps you heard before me speaking to a. lady living there telling us about the night she had none of them expect this to get any better any soon do you agree. it's up to hamas as long as

hamas keeps a. deliberate attack in order to murder israelis across the state by the way arabs and jews alike hamas already murdered 2 arab israelis in the city of lodi 52 years old and his daughter nadine 16 years old israeli arabs who were murdered in the holocaust survivor 85 years old was murdered by hamas in her wheelchair if hamas thinks that they can get away with this they're wrong 1000 every commander every post until we win and the 53 people have died in gaza or including 14 children are they all members of hamas who needed to die. indeed hamas killed them because we know they didn't kill behind yes they did not and on come on come on come on they were. its people

women and children you are effectively murdering your own people make no mistake i spent the night in the shelter with my family in the city of la nona we will defend ourselves and if hamas decides to turn schools into terror bases and hospitals in a cowardly manner into into terror bases they are responsible for murdering their own people where you have shelter to go to the 2000000 people in gaza don't they locked in as well so you can't simply say that. actively kills them because it was an israeli airstrike which killed them if you're hitting residential buildings if you hitting police buildings media buildings that's why they dying that's nonsense hamas instead of taking its money and investing in hospitals in schools and building a future for its people its spending all its money on terror trying to kill israelis it's both stupid and wrong it's stupid because they're not going to

succeed because we're strong and we're going to defend ourselves ok and you know i'm in the opposition now but make no mistake we are all united we stand strong united 'd and there's one way for this to stop for hamas to lay down its arms and then it will stop ok let's talk politics then mr bennett because you are in a position to actually tell us about the political situation that exists in israel and how it is contributing to what's going on at the moment the fact is israel doesn't have a well it's still in political limbo technically in fact you could end up being a future prime minister of israel is this affecting what is happening at the fact that prime minister netanyahu doesn't know his future that he has corruption charges against him is this contributing to the whole problem. this is not a built in the thing you know and it's not about left and right in israel and it will certainly back the minister guns and the government of israel at this very

difficult moment when we get hundreds of rockets a night on israel we all stand united no one will divide us and we'll fight back the performance then of prime minister netanyahu you say you back him there but i mean surely there is still a political process ongoing in israel at the moment to try to form a new government as i said one which you would be part of. well we're a democracy i'm darn proud of that that we're a democracy and yes part of democracy is the ability to criticize one another but we in israel have a sort of a unspoken rule when we're at war with an enemy wants us we stand together what would you do differently. given your past so you may not you may not answer

that but would you do anything differently the fact is outside of rockets from gaza and strikes from israel there is an ongoing problem of an occupation of the palestinians not having a country of a peace process that is pretty much dead in the water would you be doing something different to actually address the root causes of all of this. well that's not the root cause of the the root cause is a decision of the terrorists that whatever happens they want to destroy israel i mean so if you don't but if you didn't have your hands are you going without a way to become us no weren't there not like the way we. literally. unfortunately you know control and no i don't know if they did if they they control and if they decide that they want to start governing and stop being a failed terrorist state which is a miserable future for their own people they'll they'll find a peaceful neighbor but if they continue this it's just going to get worse ok

listen i'm telling every commander every soldier of hamas we're after you work coming after you we're not going to let off so so you might as well stop shooting that israel let me phrase it differently then do you accept that israel is an occupying force in the palestinian territories. absolutely not we out of it well it's been our homeland for thousands of years what's the west bank and gaza one of the home. the west bank i call it good in some area it's part and parcel of israel yes i'm cognizant of the fact that there's . almost 2000000 palestinians living there and they deserve to live in dignity and we provide that that is not the root cause you know the arabs have. tens of countries. to live in we respect our neighbors we respect israeli arabs but that is certainly not the root cause the root cause is that they want to

annihilate us just listen to what bob carr said we're going to go out and kill every single joule so that's not anyone who's seeking peace and i don't buy any of this so you don't if you don't believe fan bet a change in the status quo a change which would actually give the palestinians a hard on which they govern themselves that would actually change things that we wouldn't have this cycle which we have been stuck in full so many years. that would change things it would create a terrorist state that does not exist yet injured in some area and would effectively deem israel. you know unable to defend ourselves you know the whole width of israel is just about 7 or 8 miles we see what what they turned gaza into no israel is going to give up just in some area and allow them to create a terrorist state that's just a few minutes away from my home would you i don't think i can answer that naftali

bennett who exactly you know nobody has i am i know this because i am nor senator and i'm going to defend them i am not in that situation and i hope i never am will my family is now after the bandits chairman of the yemeni alliance thank you let's hear from one and our shrub you know who's a palestinian leader activist and former member of the palestine liberation organization's executive committee she told us israel has been acting with impunity . you have hit and and i don't use of violence i have the strongest army and good agent at targeting innocent civilians getting residential buildings in an area that has been totally closed and beseeched without any means up exams would not have forced windows shelters with no sirens and at the same time to claim this and its claims have it it's not just humanitarian it's a question of 10 existential issues it's political it's legal yes it is human and

it is not certainly military because as it is used our military is punitive and monitored and in many ways there's an expression of an unbridled occupation that has existed with impunity for all these years that has never been held accountable since it was created 72 years ago since the other occupation if people use a girl as and has acted with impunity has dug it as the palestinians as it got it up your nation under its control and outside of iraq but this is not new this escalation is new it has been emboldened of course like the tramp administration's collusion it has been emboldened by biden administration's lack of action and that the sense of the europeans and it's an ongoing so now the question was. is that do that give jerusalem to kick out and in years to target that allister islamic site
