it says it is is destroyed offices used by other senior hamas figures and attacked the head of the drone unit this is after the use of attack drones suicide drone sometimes called earlier in the day also saying that they have struck at anti tank units as well at the same time as all of this of course there have been big bear raj's of rockets coming out from gaza towards the city of behavior towards central israel once more also towards the airport close to a lot which is where they were going to reroute air traffic that was an extremely long range rocket attack designed to inhibit just that rerouting it seems so there is that to deal with as well and the military is coming up with a plan it says for. ground offensive one which will be escalated up the chain of

command to the political leadership to decide on whether to carry it through all the indications are and certainly in the words of benjamin netanyahu himself when he was down here earlier visiting an iron dome interceptor unit it doesn't appear that there's any end in sight anytime soon. we're not going to miss a little the defense activity of better reasons giving us an offensive space in the israeli defense forces have already attacked hundreds of targets who will soon pass 1000 targets we continue striking hamas will defending our citizens we will take more time but with great firmness and off since as well as defense we will achieve our goal of bringing back come to the state of israel. now shortly after that those images released by by the government we saw benjamin netanyahu again meeting border force forces in central israel that the kind of troops that are usually

paramilitary troops usually used inside the occupied west bank and in occupied east jerusalem being deployed on the streets of israeli towns and cities because of that huge uptick in communal violence that you were just talking about we seen all sorts of very disturbing videos for about 48 hours now and there been more coming out in the course of today a palestinian israeli group of youths attacking a jewish person person close to the walls of the old city in occupied east jerusalem also we saw in. last night someone attacked and beaten on the ground for a long time because of the suspicion that he was palestinian israeli this is something that is spreading is continuing also videos showing apparently jewish settlers from your part west bank armed inside the city of lard social media messaging talking about ways to get together and carry out attacks so the leadership of the country is trying to do something about it the defense minister

is saying that he wants to see accelerated legal proceedings even reports the prime minister is considering detention without charge of those suspected of involvement or potentially planning involvement in this kind of thing so it is equally. isis on the streets a social security crisis on the streets as it is a military crisis down here harry many things hairy for sit there in southern israel well a spokesman for the hamas military wing said in a video message the group's decision to strike israeli cities was easy but the model then the decision to bomb tel of the jerusalem dimona ashkelon ashdod. and any cities before or after that from our occupied cities is easier for us than drinking water. al-jazeera suff what joins us from gaza just explain to us what's been going on there in the last hour or so. so we could hear

a settler colony that has colonized at. all and young people are colonized all and they have the right to resist they have the right to be free was the tension came to a boiling point is a court prepared to rule on the force expulsion of palestinian families from their homes in the occupied east jerusalem shake a chair a neighborhood. israeli journalist yossi melman says he's worried about the janata groups inside israel running 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 off both sides to stop the attacks. moments the lynch nothing justifies the lynching of arabs by jews and nothing justifies the lynching of jews by arabs it's unacceptable. in the attempt to quell the violence nessun yahoo ordered the emergency deployment of border forces but police tactics

palestinians are being given the right to protest. so far what i have seen that they are definitely trying to stop palestinians from protesting peacefully but they are not trying to stop new fascists and zona 60 misc group who are trying to lynch palestinians from doing what they do and you can see this on social media platforms in haifa and lud and most of the make mixed downs in sight israel and what's happening is the direct result of the continuous incitement machine that is caused by this government against palestinians arabs in israel and gaza and the west bank now we have to be very clear in highlighting that distinction between an occupier and an occupied these groups are armed and are backed by the country by listing us are not are and are not backed by the country we are oppressed they are not oppressed we have to be very articulate about our political technology these are not classes it's just a continuous ethnic cleansing this of what would really cause is start immediate talks to stop the bombing on gaza start immediate talks with the senior officials

to lift the siege from gaza cancel that and go ethnic cleansing and infections of 6 other neighborhoods let muslims do their personnel up some more school and really really try to prevent these armed groups from little philistine and i mean we are and aren't living peacefully inside is a yes we are and yes we are desperate we are trying to protest that and express it in so many different ways but they only giving us not choice they are the ones who are causing the violence and we are helpless right now u.s. president joe biden has spoken with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and says he hopes there will be a conclusion soon but that israel has the courts right to defend itself live to our white house correspondent kimberly hellgate so kimberly as it's turning out is this proving to be something about a controversial conversation. yeah it's a controversial conversation on so many different levels very briefly one of the

biggest concerns about the president's call to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that he didn't also call the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas now it should be noted that the secretary of state did call both leaders and so that has opened up the president to criticism that he is taking sides the other big concern is that the president continually as well as has been a stray ssion repeats the phrase that israel has a right to self-defense but he doesn't make that same claim with respect to palestinians so the president has been criticized heavily for his remarks even from members of his own democratic party but at the same time he is expressing optimism that this violence which has continued to spiral will soon be under control the administration deeply engaged it says on a variety of levels with both israeli and palestinian leaders one of the top diplomats has been dispatched in order to try and bring about not just a deescalation but the administration says it is also working with its allies in

the region namely qatar jordan and egypt in order to try and bring about a truce always seeing a different reaction in the states simply compared to previous occasions when we have had to cross border violence cross border military activity between gaza and israel. well i've been reporting in washington for more than 20 years and there was a time when the u.s. congress regardless of whether you were republican or democrat was 100 percent behind israel and all of its actions fast forward 20 years later it's very different now the makeup of congress is different and what we're seeing is that there is a lot of criticism now about the president's actions for different reasons there are concerns from members of the president's own democratic party that the president essentially in his statements because he is not speaking out against the

evictions that he is in many ways turning a blind eye and condoning human rights that some of the accusations that are coming from representatives like omar and also alexandria ocasio cortez they also can say that the president essentially is ignoring how this violence began by not acknowledging the evictions in the shaker our neighborhood that they're sort of selective about the starting point and in many ways accusing palestinians of instigating this violence but only condemning the rockets from hamas you have to add to that that republicans are also criticizing the actions of this administration because they believe for entirely different reasons that there should be no negotiations with iran right now in vienna on limiting iran's nuclear program that jay c.p.o. agreement given the fact that they're alleging that iran is paying for these hamas rockets so you rarely would have seen this kind of criticism of an administration

such as we're seeing right now and this will become a real political problem for the president especially one that is looking to push forward an ambitious agenda needs congress on his side and also needs to hang on to control of both houses in the you know fast forward to the congressional elections that will be in the future so this is certainly a problem politically for joe biden can believe many things can be held to. reporting live from outside the white house in washington. still to come on this program after a surge in violence in recent weeks afghanistan ushers in the islamic holiday with a 3 day ceasefire. in senegal a group of volunteers ensure the growing number of unclaimed bodies of coronavirus victims get proper burials.
