an interior security building was hit to there's no word yet on casualties. well earlier israeli jets 1st partially bombed a 14 story building housing media offices and homes it was then completely flattened after another hit half an hour later at least $67.00 palestinians have been killed in the gaza strip since monday including 17 children and 6 women more than $330.00 people have been injured while the armed wing of the palestinian group hamas launched another barrage of rockets at israel from gaza it said it was in response to the killing of several senior hamas commanders including its military chief israeli media say a 6 year old who was injured in

a rocket strike on an apartment building in the city of steroids has now died and that would take a total israeli dead to 6 palestinian president mahmoud abbas chaired an executive committee meeting of the p.l.o. and call for an end to israeli aggression. our people have spoken the word and we. are without occupation aggression. without accepting. the grisha days really gratian have exceeded all limits and has. done and violated all treaties. and agreements allowed as here as alcohol who joins us on the phone now from gaza so just bring us up to date with the latest situation on the ground there in gaza where you are. so just a few minutes ago in the military wing of hamas i've got some brigades fire 2 different

waves of rockets along grange. rockets in tel aviv. to give. got which is like mortar lift 54 to 40 kilometers from gaza this is the 2nd actually biggest wave of rockets being fired from gaza into israel the longer a longer range rockets before dr before the rockets over the course on brigades that israel is cut it out. not. strikes that ted one of the security internal security bases in in gaza city which is completely destroyed that one day explosion that we heard in the previous large show so still there is no. positive indication that. a cease fire could be reaching very soon as we

expected or understood from the officials that we managed to talk to early on they said that they have been receiving phone calls and talks from an international. figure and that they said they are ready to stop the fire to seize the fire any time the ball is in the eyes or a record immediately after we said that the israeli response came with. hints of. strikes that take civet other places in gaza sort of the last one was the internal security of hamas. diminished of health i think that says that we managed to talk to the director of shifa hospital which is the biggest hospital in the gaza strip he said doc they have been receiving lots of. injuries from different places all over the gaza strip. most of the casualties and

most of the injured woman children are ordinary people and the hospital is facing lots of problems in dealing and treating such a huge number of injuries because the health system been suffering for more than 50 years of israeli siege. 3 wars only those that are really was only god's law. contributed in addition to cope with 19 of course they all contribute to destroying the health system in gaza which depend totally. from the international community and the support from the minister opened in ramallah so he launched an appeal and he said that he expects this war who should wish is that this war or escalation could stop immediately to avoid more humanitarian

crises people in god's law also have been staying home in the last couple of days of the israeli escalation because in gaza or there are no shelters like everywhere in the world order and the other places like israel for example so the only choice is to stay home to follow the news someone told us ok you know he he's much concerned about his children than himself and suffer what you you saw israel's iron dome missile defense system trying to stop those rockets coming over from gaza. yes that was like one hour ago a few minutes ago also there was a bigger barrage of rockets longer range which. from watching by watching these rockets from from our office we could understand these rockets more

to develop the short range rockets so yes. it's been operating on trying to intercept. the homemade rockets that have been fired from gaza into israel but then you. also we understood the from the armed groups that the. more defied and more developed the previous ones so more rockets could void. them so yes they exploded we immediately we could hear a policy and rocket launch immediately we hear the explosions over the iron dome system. there giving us an update from gaza south what thank you very much indeed for tension has spilled on to the streets of israel's mixed palestinian israeli towns and neighborhoods. have been riots in the city of baton

near tel aviv shops and by palestinian israelis have been targeted it's the worst mixed community violence that israel has seen indias and several mosques were attacked in the lead where the israeli government has declared a state of emergency about a 3rd of the population are palestinian israelis a palestinian man who was shot dead in a synagogue and dozens of vehicles were set on fire and there has likened it to a civil war. when earlier our correspondent gary foresaid gave us this update from southern israel. people are talking about it as if they can't really put a finger on any time that they know of where the entire country seemed to erupt in this sort of really personal on the streets and community to community racial violence and not just in in one place sparked by one thing but all across the country we've seen these similar images of jews and arabs facing off in the streets

earlier there was in the city of bad what looked like an attempted public lynching of a man who was just thrown to the floor and beaten repeatedly in front of television cameras they thought he was an arab it turned out he was a jew and this is been happening up and down the country so the prime minister benjamin netanyahu had called for an iron fist to deal with this he's put out a recorded message in which he said that what is happening in the country is unbearable it's an icky indeed that is it with a lot of people abusing an icky because of the overwhelming of the police presence and the decision to bring in military forces instead and he's calling for unity and to succumb to the previous status quo together but at the moment it's an extremely worrying development at the same time as israel is dealing as you can here with this continuing escalation so let's bring in raji serrano he's a human rights lawyer and founder of the palestinian center for human rights he

joins us via skype from gaza raja good to have you with us so we seem this surgeon intercommunal violence and makes jewish arab israeli towns like lada cross the country how worrying do you think is this latest development. well unfortunately this is if eric this is not something has been created 'd them but if you dazed and the truly long the prove it. is really. as a human rights watch the release of. it or state it be clear the israeli state when your brother who proposed this appropriate basically practice against the purse the ins with the are inside the green line or in goes own cooling did was it him and in. the behavior. it is very deliberate is the entire israeli law was closed in

a clear way you are not talking about but this event. and what had been an issue with in. dome of the rock what had happened in gaza showed in the. way. oh this is really easy to lease out the israeli political deal with the press the ears inside the green line that's for me ok creation too much roger let's talk about garza where you are i mean guards are remains a tightly packed on clayburgh over 2000000 people we know its infrastructure and health services are at breaking point what sort of humanitarian impact do these conflicts have on the people in gaza it's drastic i mean

as as you have a moment i mean we we have. including. in a verse 30 of america. we have. christine years of criminal illegal blockade and goes on why is are we hoping this cruel this war imposing gaza ringback. we have the parent that me. this is i mean last thing we want. 'd and this comes like illegal mako who goes and poor is this is our area of interest what we observe what we pay attention to international law international military law and human greats. and see how israeli behavior toward civilian population and surely from day one from the

post of war israel having given the ok of the storm this if we didn't say we don't target. and if it can kill you about maybe aid to the israeli for gets in the girl strip it is code words ok that you shims police k. shares i mean in paris the entire city entering gets so far we lost 7 pm the children in this in 6 will not yet and that's an important point to make so let's just get a final thought then on those ongoing as strikes a dozens of palestinians as you say $67.00 including children killed also israelis have been killed to about 6 at the last count how worried are you but it's the civilians on both sides who pay the ultimate price for any conflict between israel and hamas. unfortunately we

hope that you can share that with us t.v. . this isn't something you know i mean this is a very orchestrated policy and that's what the 2000 'd 14 in the 3 previous will consist and then tell me in the ear is up to you tara getting good read i mean the policy is here this is not quick sit ups this is spending all this trade policy and that's why the i.c.c. . accused israel and the investigation against the israeli leaders and political security been warning crimes occur in the games humanity they perpetrated against the palestinian civilians and they could play. so israel very good record in this regard and i think in this last fence and the last 3 days is that will reduce your risk of problems when they see

they will be built at the i.c.c. raja's serai very good to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera thank you thank you. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back we'll have all the international reaction to what's been happening joe biden has spoken about the violence we'll bring you his comments. and no rest bite for india and its people as the number of coronavirus cases and this comes up again more in that state that's. how low the storm threat for the u.s. once again around the gulf states but it's pushed further east really impacting georgia into florida for your thursday and tapping now into some land take moisture just off the coast of the carolinas as well make it clipped with some of this wet weather when it take you to the southwest right now where more than

a dozen wildfires are burning across arizona this is in globe arizona just a few days ago just incredible dry tinder dry conditions and the state of california has expanded its emergency drought now to cover 30 percent of the population lots of sunshine continues no rain to be had and an area of concern for this wildfire season is northern california where already this season has gotten off to an early start for the fires that were seen in arizona ok across mexico some downpours in and around mexico city the risk of flooding is here just because so much of the country has been dealing with drought conditions that ground is solid and just cannot absorb all of that rain off to south america and for the northern portion of the continent our usual cluster of storms that we're dealing with popping up in bogota thursday.

discover the world of difference. determination. i'm talking about when we need we are moving. freedom we plan in this case it's a small chance so just put it on the 16 people on the corruption and get it and compassion. i'll just 0 to wound the selection of the best films from across our network of couples. welcome back a quick amount of our top stories here on al-jazeera within the last mile an

internal security building in gaza has been hit by a massive israeli air strike israeli air force continue to bomb the gaza strip for a 3rd day at least 67 palestinians have been killed. on the armed wing of the palestinian group hamas has launched more rockets at israel it said it was in response to the killing of several how must come on this israeli media say a 6 year old girl that was injured in a rocket strike in the city of steroids has now died that would take the total israeli death toll to 6. intentional spilled on to the streets of israel's mixed palestinian israeli towns and neighborhoods that been riots in the city of but near tel aviv shops owned by palestinian israelis have been targeted. but u.s. president joe biden has spoken to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu about the ongoing conflict he said he was optimistic the violence wouldn't last much longer. my expectation is that. this will be. closing down sooner than later. israel has ready to defend so if you have thousands

of rockets flying into your territory but i had a conversation for one hour with the. prime minister newsroom i think. my hope is that it will soon. come in your conclusion she removed. one life not to mike hanna in washington d.c. mike so we finally heard from u.s. president joe biden there what more they have to say. but basically president biden said what to us politicians generally say in this stressing his view that israel has a right to self-defense as he put it this is the view that one hears from the majority in congress regardless of what the context of this ongoing conflict is but the state department earlier in the day also made mention that there had been numerous contacts with all the parties involved in the course of recent days the

white house says that more than 25 phone calls and meetings have been held in the past few days these involve u.s. officials with their israeli counterparts but also u.s. officials holding discussions with those in neighboring countries like qatar or egypt which have a particular influence in an area like gaza in particular so the bite in that ministration appears to be attempting to create a network of discussion attempting to get deescalation along these particular lines but it appears to be a quiet attempt at diplomacy no sign that the biden administration is going to attempt to leverage israel in any way at this particular point in time i had mike it is interesting because this escalation in violence seems to have caught the biden administration on the back foot so what more can washington do at this stage . i think it's got to be understood that the biden

administration did not see the israeli palestinian dispute as a priority it has been focusing on issues like china the only context in which israel gets involved is the biden administration's focus on iran so yes i think you are correct that this absolute outrage the configuration of conflict did catch this administration by surprise obviously they've been monitoring the situation we do know that there had been discussions in recent weeks where it was pointed out to the israelis by u.s. officials that it was not helpful to evict people from their home or destruct houses this say the u.s. officials is something which would make it even more difficult to begin to think about any resumption of the negotiation process but that being said the bite didn't mince attrition has kept to a degree on the sidelines in the days of this ongoing conflict we know now that there are z's instinctive extensive diplomatic moves going on but what we do know

for example is that it appears to be the u.s. were blocked attempts in the u.n. to get a statement on this ongoing conflict once again so the fight in the ministration and not only perhaps caught a bit short by of this eruption of conflict but also being pulled from many sides indeed in terms of clarifying what its position is with regards to israel biden says he wants to recalibrate the relationship that was intensely close under the trumpet ministration but as yet we have not seen any evidence or any tangible sign of exactly what this means all right mike hanna live for us there in washington d.c. mike thank you well here in secular journal antonio protective says restarting the peace process is needed to bring an end to the violence. international law applies to everybody without exception all member states are supposed to abide by the resolutions namely the resolutions really counsel and obviously the unity of the

significance of the received extremely important instruments the recent incidents demonstrate how important it is to restart effectively the peace process because it's the only way i have a true believer that we need to promote a 2 state solution living in peace and harmony between the 2 and with normalized relations with the region and the full participation of the countries of the region of the international community as a whole in creating the conditions for this peace process to move forward. well demonstrations in support of palestinians in the occupied territory continue around the world these are the scenes in neighboring jordan but people rallied outside the israeli embassy in the capital amman demanding an end to jordan's peace treaty with israel. 4 and in greece police with pro palestinian protesters during a rally outside the israeli embassy in the capital athens hundreds of demonstrators

chanted and burned an israeli flag before being dispersed by police with tear gas. now one of the leaders of the republican party in the u.s. has been ousted because of her refusal to say last year's presidential election was rigged meanwhile donald trump's former defense secretary has been explaining to congress why more was not done to stop the capitol hill riots in january jabatan see reports. ever since the capitol hill riots of early january several committee hearings have been analyzing what exactly happened and what happened to the security that had been assumed to be in place one of the many questions once it was clear the capitol was being stormed why did it take so long to call for the deployment of the national guard on wednesday don't trump defense secretary suggested he was worried that if troops were called him they would be confusion as to which side they were room congress or the rioters i want to remind you in the american time a risk irresponsible commentary by the media about

a possible military coup were there by the president giving the declaration of martial law we're going to the capital miller contends that trumps election fraud claims contributed to the riots yet elsewhere on capitol hill the number 3 republican in the house liz cheney was being kicked out of her leadership position by members of a party for a failure to back exactly that claim she vowed revenge i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office the storming. the capitol has focused attention on the threat for years federal agencies of warned that it was right wing groups that posed the biggest domestic terror threat money and resources were funneled into surveilling and arresting racial minorities and those fighting for civil rights the bite administrating is promising a recalibration destroyer assessment of which the previous extremists are the most lethal threat we face in our mind today mr chairman i do

believe that the intelligence reflects the fact that indeed that is the case and you agree i do and that's the most recent assessment of the f.b.i. civil rights groups welcome the change of focus but are concerned that it will be used to expand current laws that already allow for widespread surveillance of u.s. citizens and create new domestic terrorism doesn't nations and databases were worried that their reaction is going to entrenched frameworks that have been used against lakin around communities and there is not going to be a privatization. of white nationalist violence in a way that we think is necessary for the trump supporters were planning something significant on capitol hill had been telegraphed for weeks if not months on social media there was no need for any extra domestic surveillance yet civil liberties

groups fear that the riots that ensued will now be used as a pretext for even deeper supervision of the views of all u.s. citizens. al-jazeera capital. india has seen its deadliest day of the corona virus pandemic with more than 4200 people succumbing to the virus the number of new infections is also risen and is about purana reports from new delhi that would have . all modified a look sits on his mother's grave as it's being prepared he's not yet ready to say goodbye his story of mourning is one of thousands around the country every day. as india streets empty because of localized lockdowns burial grounds and predatory i'm continue to work day and night. and in india's poorest states with over there and be hard $100.00 bodies of suspected car the 19 victims have been found floating in the ganges river. are officials at the scene and investigating we are trying to
