it's like to work with every breath is precious. with. the tsunami. but when know most people. in hebron always breed and fly pigeons but in this occupied palestinian city boys are also close to watched by israeli forces at times and often are arrested. and delicately told tales filmed over 5 years of a coming of age in a place where even a child's imagination is every restricted the skies above hebron a witness documentary on a. the in the the end.

time after a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera israeli air strikes of the story the 14 story tower in gaza city it housed media offices as well as residential homes it's the worst outbreak of violence since the 2014 war with no resolution yes insight for more palestinian rockets are being fired into israel hamas says it's in response to the killing of several senior commanders including its military chief israeli paramedics say a 6 year old was seriously injured in the city of stone. and tensions of also spilled into the streets of israel's mixed palestinian israeli towns and neighborhoods there have been riots in the city of backyard with shops owned by palestinian israelis targeting. well let's go back to the situation in gaza itself somee abu salim is a palestinian journalist and resident of gaza he joins me now on the phone from the

gaza strip sami thank you so much for being with us here on al-jazeera tell me a little bit about what's going on in gaza right now. right there are some green homemade grenades which called rockets grown from gaza to is and from time to time and of course. air strikes on gaza city on the gaza strip across the gaza strip on different places. to get. the big targets was as you have mentioned. which includes lots of media media offices and also they destroyed the streets the big roads between. between the buildings i mean there are they are targeting the infrastructure the infrastructure of gaza right now so lots of big holes inside.

and the tension is collecting more and more and the houses are shaking. from time to time and the kid. could not be. cannot be saved or could not become that we are living for 24 hours a day and endless. and even the last. movement i'm not sure about to talk about the middle of the call not even the statements of. love get any games of the 2. so far because. his assessment was a little bit. further from his. the gloom i think when he said that a lot of people. are his words and we with him we with him which means that he is not against what is running even with military

resistance he did not say military resistance he mentioned about that that we with him and we need a future without occupation this is this word leads to the main point 1st some some details and blotches. it helps us to catch the details were the. catch or the the core of the problem is the cure patient maybe we will testify the truth after the couple of days or a couple of weeks last as long as the occupation continues we will we will we will face. violence more and more. so far more than 60 people have been killed including the children. parroting the resistance would not keep calm and also of course there is a very occupation will not stop at that. nobody knows what the future holds. we

keep on saying that this is the worst explosion of violence between. israeli army and and how mass on the gaza since 2014 how do you feel that it compares do you feel it's of the same level. i don't think that it would be the same level i i think it would be much difficult because. and mine and their 142014 the last air strike the israeli air strike flattened several towers towers. but now they are beginning this admission with targeting it is essential to ours i mean they have just destroyed well being and i have witnessed with my own eyes

that destruction of. 5 floors buildings with gaza city and before that and joe hart building which holds lots of me the offices also and of course the building which includes more than. 40 or 60 apartment because the beginning if this was the beginning and 65 people have been killed in the end to this was about the next day. which means that it is very expected that this this violence will be much bigger because much of. what happened in 2014 that's why we are in need we are as civilians as that the thing is we are in with a faster and more realistic diplomatic intervention to end this its condition and we've been watching picture of one of those tower blocks being

destroyed earlier as you mentioned there were also homes there so what's happening to the people that have been left homeless by that and also i'm assuming that the hospital as we heard earlier is also under incredible pressure. yes this is the problem that each building the whole hold tens of families what about these families those families some of them go to to live with. with their relatives some of them. maybe they will go to a party that are part of the rent and some other people who will not have money it is expected they are going to stay in schools or in public buildings like what happened in 2014 we had in the beginning to be and it's. also this bombing creates economic problems and housing problem because actually the

gaza is one of the most populated areas in the word. 5000 people. key to me in h.k. donita. living in gaza which means that they're targeting buildings as we create also a problem if you socialized social economic and human problem for the bill of those people it is not expected that they will find a new house because there are there is a problem of housing in gaza actually and population is increasing and increasing and there are a lot of the restrictions on lebanese big materials. which means that they are creating the i mean that is related to beijing creating the new problem social i'm housing problems besides the bloodshed and besides that military attack sami abu salim palestinian journalist and resident in gaza thank you so much for

sharing your experiences. going through there with us thank you. well in the last 3 days have masts and other palestinian groups fired more than a 1000 rockets at israel let's talk more about this with a frame in bar was president of the jerusalem institute for strategy and security he joins me live from jerusalem sir thank you for joining us here on al-jazeera we were just hearing of the impact of the rockets on gaza obviously we've had rockets into israel as well we're hearing from israeli paramedics that a 6 year old was killed in the city of the rot and have you been surprised by the range and power of some of the missiles that we're seeing come out of gaza no i think most israeli exports the fellow listen tearless burgeoning. abilities mental capabilities of hamas and i'm not surprised by their

veins or buys a payload over those missiles. of course israel is relying on defense system particularly silent dome you know that to intercept them and so far no other 90 percent of the incoming missiles were indeed intercepted by this missile defense system it seems to be though that they are being more effective in a sense that is you mentioned the air and i'm is it managing to intersect everything that they seem to be going further afield i mean you say that experts like you perhaps are not surprised but are we seeing a shift to a different way that these missiles are having an impact. what i see is that. he's using such a way ssion tactics shooting a large number of missiles at once and this obviously makes. it more

difficult for was amazingly missile defense system to do intercepts and. so on this is. their basic change otherwise it is an icing is there is nothing new so far in type of missile launching by hamas and then forgive me for pushing you on this but so when you say there is a basic change that's the point i'm trying to get at are we seeing these rockets pushed farther afield and cause more damage than perhaps we have seen in earlier conflicts. against answer is no we've seen no. conflict does resize leaching jews l.m. leave scenes in england also. tel aviv area so maybe here and there is a mountain of difference. so far and i emphasize so

far it is not their supplies it is maybe they keep a longer range missile for duncan alors and do you think that that is a worry for the israeli army. definitely of course we would like to limit as much possible sally as it is vulnerable to missile attacks and this is a clear interest and the fun you know our counterattack will not help of course is i and my other 2 adult invasion in order to put an end to the missile so that. the population. it frame inbar president of the jerusalem institute for strategy and security essar thank you for sharing your views with us thank you my pleasure. well a little earlier my colleague santa maria spoke to nafta lee bennett who was the

israeli defense minister from 2001000 to 2020 and he says israelis will not stop attacking until they win. 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 his daughter nadine 16 years old israeli arabs who were murdered a 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 one found every commander every post until we win and the 53 people have died in gaza or including 14 children and they all members of hamas are needed to die. indeed hamas killed

them because we know they didn't kill behind yes they did not come on come on come on they were. 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 atlanta we will defend ourselves and if hamas decides to turn schools into terror bases and hospitals in a cowardly manner into the terror bases they are responsible for murdering their own people you know i'm in the opposition now but make no mistake we are all united we stand strong united and there's one way for this to stop for hamas to lay down its arms and then it will stop. about santa maria speaking to former defense minister naftali bennett well demonstrations in support of palestinians in the occupied territory are continuing around the world these are the scenes in
