israel's iron dome interceptors trying to deal with a huge number of targets. hamas said it fired $130.00 rockets several got through to the town of steroids a 6 year old boy killed in one direct hit on a building. others exploding in the coastal town of ashkelon. earlier israel killed 6 senior hamas commanders close to the head of the military wing and involved in intelligence and rocket production a multi at the mall. a short while ago we eliminated top commanders of the hamas general staff including the gaza city brigade commander and other commanders and this is just the beginning it will hit them like they never dreamed possible. but there is another growing crisis for benjamin netanyahu and his government away from this excel orating military escalation in and around gaza across israel from town to town there is an eruption of communal violence between jews and arabs despite

their own pledge to bring it to an end with an iron fist. on tuesday night jewish cars and a synagogue were torched on wednesday it was a mosque that burned. elsewhere arab businesses were ransacked jewish crowd chanted death to arabs. communities used to living close to each other doing business with each other riven by violence and hatred israel facing a social and security crisis on its streets as it wages an escalating conflict with gaza's fighting factions are a force that al-jazeera southern israel. prayers are being held at alexa mall skin occupied east jerusalem after days of violent confrontations between israeli forces and palestinians hundreds of worshippers arrive to attend the early morning president slams a 3rd holiest site religious leaders are calling for calm on the day that marks the end of the holy month of ramadan muslims around the world the plan through thick

some palestinian palestinian families and check shelter in east jerusalem triggered the ongoing unrest or palestinian president mahmoud abbas chaired an executive committee meeting of the p.l.o. and called for an end to israeli aggression. our people have spoken the words and we know one future without occupation will not like aggression more than our. it without accepting them as unsettlement. and grisham days really and gratian have exceeded or limits and has. done without and violated all treaties. laws and they meant. us president joe biden has spoken to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu about the ongoing conflict and he said he was optimistic that the violence there wouldn't last much longer. my expectation hope is that.

this all be. closing down sooner than later but israel has a right to defend itself when you have thousands of rockets lined indeed your territory but i had a conversation for a while with with the prime minister of israel and i think. my hope is that we'll see this coming to a conclusion sooner than later. but her husband from washington d.c. . well president biden saying that his administration is constantly engaging with various parties from various sides in this conflict saying as well that it's not only that his officers are talking to israelis and palestinians they are also talking to other countries in the region such as cutter and egypt which have particular influence in an area in gaza in particular but president biden clearly

walking a tightrope walk here he has said he wants to recalibrate the u.s. relationship with israel given the exceedingly close relationship that evolved under the previous administration as yet he has not done so his administration continuing to look at ways in which it is going to reestablish the relationship and those changes that were made under the trump administration still in place for example the u.s. embassy remains in jerusalem having been moved from tel aviv so a president biden clearly saying he wants to recalibrate the relationship at the same time using the phrase used by u.s. politicians for decades and that is that israel has a right to defend himself that is a statement being made by politicians in congress on both sides of the aisle vali nasr is a professor of middle east and international studies he says the u.s. doesn't have much leverage on israel when it comes to palestine. it was

a caught off guard by even the 1st phase of the call which was the expulsion of palestinians trying their homes in jerusalem which led to conflict in that city which led to an and israeli attack on the locks on mosque that then. led to this current crisis and it was caught off guard and he was caught train catch up every step of the way and currently i don't know what privately president biden might get said and heard from prime minister netanyahu and what gives them hope but publicly the u.s. is playing its old card it's supporting israel and it doesn't have seem to have any leverage that would actually dictate what israel will decide to do in gaza i think it's very difficult for the by the administration to do this because right now it's prime minister netanyahu isn't the drivers he decides to escalate in jerusalem he decides to respond to hamas attacks with overwhelming force and the u.s.

is left to play catch up so it doesn't look like president biden is in a position to actually influence israeli policy and therefore in a way he may claim to be moving back to the trump administration but the rules of the game still remain those that were written during the trump hearing. both still had hill on al-jazeera the rest point for india as the number of cases and deaths from coronavirus goes up again. the road to nowhere we'll tell you why drivers in the u.s. the having problems filling up their fuel tanks to stay with us. it's time for the general to winter sponsored plan qatar airways hello right off the bat i want to show you what's going on in the arabian sea we're
