1:06 pm
of wednesday and they've been firing pretty regularly since wednesday night and through thursday what the israeli army is saying is that it is going to present a plan for a ground operation to the political leadership later on today no that doesn't mean that one will be instituted or will go ahead because obviously a ground offensive inside gaza as well as a huge escalatory step also carries with it a huge amount of risk for the israeli army and israeli soldiers and so if that option were taken it would be a very big decision and it's not necessarily just because they're presenting a plan that it will be but that is the latest coming from the israeli military there have also been further rockets firing out of gaza in the course of the night some reports of expectations of more large barrages to come through the day so the
1:07 pm
escalatory nature of the situation remains pretty much in place at the moment. harry at the same time we've seen some pretty unprecedented scenes of intercommunal rioting take us through the situation now and some of those towns. well yes it's been a really upsetting and dispiriting scene for many on both sides of the racial divide in in israel israel is constituted of 20 percent palestinian israelis the rest almost all jewish israelis and their communities that of obviously had serious tensions serious frictions racial problems violent problems but nothing really like what we're seeing at the moment which is communities just turning against each other that there is talk that perhaps we're talking about the extremes
1:08 pm
on each side or criminal elements as well but nonetheless that the scenes across towns especially where jews and arabs live alongside each other in pretty close proximity have been extremely concerning we've been seen and businesses being ripped apart we saw a palestinian israeli now and thrown to the floor in the city of but yeah well a suburb of television sensually and beaten very severely the police have just said that they've arrested 2 suspects in that case also 2 jewish people shot in the city of lard and injured overnight as well and just in the last few minutes more images coming from jerusalem from close to the old city of a group of palestinian young men attacking a jew there before border forces moved in to separate them so this is still bubbling it is as you say a major priority for the israeli government even as this military operation
1:09 pm
continues the prime minister benjamin netanyahu put out a statement overnight talking about the need to stop this this anarchy but at the moment it's been continuing right thanks so much harry for so that. well as the air strikes continue so too does violence among palestinian israelis and jewish residents so on a scale not seen in decades the tactics of israeli police are also being called into question what about monday reports. was the was a chance of death to our obsessed anger and hate has spilled out into the streets in the coastal city of. palestinian israelis and jewish israelis living in close proximity turning on each other. among many violent incidents on wednesday
1:10 pm
a palestinian man was dragged from his car by dozens of jewish israelis who continued to beat even until he lost consciousness the video was brokaw's live on israeli television. 7 and closer to tell of eve policy a business is being run from the wave of violence is it dozens of cities and regions across israel it's the worst between communities living alongside each other in decades israeli officials say they're more violent than the protests that led steel accent to fodder in 2000 was the tension came to a boiling point as a court prepared to rule on the force expulsion of palestinian families from the homes in the occupied east jerusalem shaikh acheron neighborhood israeli journalist yossi melman says he's worried about the challenge to groups inside israel running
1:11 pm
amok he says they're headed to the abyss as a result of absence of governance and years of incitement and prime minister benjamin netanyahu has both sides to stop the attacks. in the attempt to quell the violence nessun yahoo ordered the emergency deployment of border forces but police tactics are under scrutiny after this video was shared on social media of officers storming a family home in the northern city of haifa they could be seen beating an armed palestinian israeli man was. the and to the south of tel aviv the city of la has been put under a state of emergency the 1st in an arab community since 966 it's been one of the worst hit by riots on tuesday night jewish kargil silicate was satellites a mosque was the next day and palestinian mussa hassoun or was shot dead by jewish
1:12 pm
residents during protests. even though the court is the hearing unchecked there are many and now more worried about how to stop the violence caused by anger that's been simmering for much longer nor about a man the al-jazeera or micky rosenfeld is israel's police national spokesman to foreign media joins us now from west jerusalem good to have you with us so the latest tensions started with fears concern that israeli police might up hold an israeli court order and forcibly evict palestinians from chef job neighborhood as well as actions of administrative and security measures taken by israel in east jerusalem around the al aqsa mosque compound my question to you though so do you accept that you are an occupying power which the this is according to the u.n. you are an occupying power which has no legal authority to impose israeli law in
1:13 pm
these occupied territories. israel and the country that we live in is a country that belongs to the jewish people with a history of thousands of years back israel and the different units and i'm referring to the i.d.f. and the israeli national police will do everything possible in order to maintain public order and prevent large scale incidents from taking place in jerusalem if we look back just last year when we were dealing here in israel with covert 19 ramadan was very peaceful and very calm and quiet last year ok if i can jump in is over the last to me but but then what you're telling viewers is people like the official spokes person report colleville for the un office of the high commissioner for refugees when he said on may the 7th 2021 and i quote given the disturbing scenes and shift over the past few days we wish to emphasize that east jerusalem remains part of the occupied palestinian territory in which international
1:14 pm
humanitarian law applies and the occupying power must respect unless it absolutely prevented the laws in the force in the country your saying to view is that in fact he's wrong because as you said this is your country you don't recognize that you are not a patient. what i'm saying is we're not an occupied force this country belongs to israel is this israel is a strong unique and humanitarian country at the moments you've taken out of proportion the israeli arabs unfortunately with inside jerusalem have taken out of proportion a dispute about sheff jaffa there are many disputes that take place in many different areas but they can be solved by the israeli courts whatever the israeli courts 'd will decide will be accepted both by the jewish families that live there as well as by the israeli palestinian families that live there as well i'm going back to the point that we made is rich what happened just 2 weeks ago on the temple mount thousands of palestinians arrived there and instead of celebrating they
1:15 pm
gathered rocks and stones and attacked our police officers and jewish work worshipers at the western wall that is something that is unacceptable as a response our police units went inside the temple mount area only used non-lethal weapons and dispersed that riots that is something that we've dealt with many times the are you have jumped in many times if you let me jump in but unesco says on point 5 of its may the 2nd 2017 ruling that quote legislative and administrative measures and actions taken by israel the occupying power it says are especially says in particular quote the basic law in jerusalem a null and void and must be rescinded forthwith do you recognize that it's because of your interventions in the are not some mosque compound in east jerusalem that is provoking the reaction from the palestinians who are complaining about do you
1:16 pm
recognize that i have to confirm and make it clear to your viewers as well. the issue of the temple mount the temple mount the status quo will be kept and held 'd were continue by israel this quarter there's not much i mean my question is is unesco wrong in saying that you and your attempts to enforce the basic law in jerusalem intervene in as you call it temple mount and palestinians call it the locks a mosque compound a null and void do you recognize that yes or no my answer i will answer you and my answer is that the israeli national police and the israeli government is making sure that the status quo on the temple mount will continue this is one of the issues that we're dealing with people are preying on the temple mount and i'm took him out of muslims 5 times a day in peace and quiet in a respectable manner so he's not really are asking about whether you recognize what u.n.
1:17 pm
organizations are saying let me quote to you then instead what human rights watch has said in its report of june 4th 2017 israeli authorities have since 1967 facilitated the transfer of civilians to the occupied west bank do you accept what u.n. organizations what human rights organizations are saying you are an occupying power that is violating international law. i can see that you've got that and put together all the quotes the point is you and people have to understand and realize you're not talking and interviewing me in 1967 we're talking about 2021 so i threw it out to you quote for our whole villa in may the 7th 2021 and i have done my research i make no apology for it these need to be addressed as i understand are you are you saying to viewers the un unesco amnesty international i've got a quote here if you want to hear it where they where they say settling civilians in
1:18 pm
occupied territories violates international humanitarian law and amounts to a war crime a telling view is the un the international court of justice amnesty international human rights watch are all wrong and only you are right i'm saying now what i'm saying is that. you said no if they are not wrong then you admit that you are not you pine power is violating international law or by our interventions. i heard your question and i will answer your question now israel is in charge and is responsible and is making decisions as to what takes place here in jerusalem both west and east jerusalem together in the different neighborhoods in the different areas israel is fully in control of dealing with everything in terms of security israel is protecting the israeli jurists citizens as well as israeli arabs who are living in the different areas and the neighborhoods our responsibility is also to protect to
1:19 pm
make sure that there are no frictions between the different size the different communities i'm going back to a very important point which is a sensitive point which is what happened on the temple mount we saw thousands of palestinians taking the law into their own hands and attacking offices and attacking other areas that is something that is unacceptable and these raby police officers around who are guarding the 3 most holiest sites the temple mount the western wall and the church of set of the separate are making sure that we're doing everything to prevent large scale incidents he was recently because he said that's what you're doing i don't think you've really addressed the point of the question i've put to you of whether you recognize what these organized in these sins are saying that what you're what you're all doing is taking the law into our own hands but i'm afraid we are out of time thank you very much for explaining your perspective we'll leave it to the viewers who draw their conclusions thank you.

1:35 pm
about the state of impunity that these israeli settlers enjoy and that with more and more expansions of illegal israeli settlements comes more attacks and that many palestinians have been telling us that even journeys between one palestinian city to another because it passes through illegal israeli. settlements has become even more dangerous had we seen settlers attack palestinians going from a law to neighboring nablus city who have been targeted by the settlers attacks so it is a tense situation here when it comes to that front but also there has been a protest actually there have been several protests in the west bank condemning and standing with palestinians in the besieged gaza strip 34 palestinians with injured by the israeli army as fire and some of those have to be the majority of those were
