including $27.00 children and at least 7 people in israel have been killed since monday palestinian factions also continue to fire rockets into israel targeting tel of eve and they laughed were all international flights have been diverted. while we begin our coverage in gaza with our reporter software. suffered what is the situation there now what's the latest. a few minutes ago at the military wing of hamas i got some brigades claimed responsibility for firing more longer range rockets better shape and south of israel. before the attack or before the rockets that were fired by the. as let me also claimed responsibility for firing another barrage of rockets into the same area southern israel hundreds of families and the noise in the north of gaza strip from

gaza across the border line with israel have evacuated their homes because of the heavy artillery fire that's right artillery has been fighting since the sunset or before the sunset. until now we could hear the explosions before this one this one is rockets fired from gaza that was intercepted by. system but in the background we could hear intensive. artillery shells landing along or across the border lined with with gaza. as you mentioned hundreds of families that have evacuated and some of them are taking from schools are shelters they just opened the doors on. these to schools on the other hand or the other side of the gaza strip and it's particularly in.

have destroyed some of the houses and services we they confirmed to us that they have deployed all of that ambulances in order to rescue some of the people that they believe they are stuck under the rubble of their destroyed houses the bank of blood of gaza city has launched an appeal for public for blood donation because it's running out of blood because of the big. of of. casualties or of just people we could hit another some. but rajah of rockets fired from gaza into israel. another great rockets fired from gaza into. into israel because of no we are i'm familiar with with kind of rockets. depends on.

the sound board the sonic of these rockets we could understand that either they had a longer or shorter range so back to gaza. the nation hospital in the north of gaza city. also said that they have been receiving tens of injured people and they have. also received 11 bodies of. who were killed in the north of the gaza strip. specifically. the so-called the beduin village this is this village is very close to the israeli border and was. damaged by the fire of the israeli artillery. they have been fighting such. an order to prevent palestinian fighters from

breaching the border kidnap more israeli soldiers this is this is not a preparation for our ground operation according to the israelis but this is like one of the preventive measures. actions that they are taking to prevent palestinian fighters from approaching breaching the israeli border. we are hearing. system. being fired from gaza suffered i have to say that just listening to you talk with all those explosions in the background i mean it just sounds absolutely terrifying and just to remind all the viewers that of course a gaza gaza city especially very densely populated so you were saying that basically here in gaza you hear not only the sound of the rockets coming from

israel attacking a gaza but also the ones that are sent by the palestinian factions towards israel but then get intercepted by the doe is that correct the iron dome so it's a big. this is the sound that you hear what most night. look at the sky the skyline of gaza is flaming all the time and it's turned into a bottle feel so. as you describe gaza is a very small place with 2000000 people it's it's very overcrowded if not the move over a crowded place. so whenever we said that doesn't say if you throw stones it will hurt the house so how come with rockets or shrapnel's of rockets that have been landing everywhere so the structure of gaza is very crowded on the quad residential quotes that are very much attached to each other. that the population

of gaza is so dramatically increasing and with this is small plates of land so yes either from. being fired from gaza into israel intercepted by or also from the israeli raids that the israeli army has been carrying into gaza they can the population here can hear everything as if it's next to your door so now you would be you could you can hear the explosions as if it's next to your home office here but in reality it's. safe few kilometers from our office but still because gaza is very small place you could hear everything as if it were next to you and also i think the pressingly enough for the population of gaza will remember the previous conflicts and so it's almost sort of layer of trauma

especially for children growing up with this you know it's you know that the risk the recent explosion of violence what a couple of days now but what in fact are you seeing on the. st some ordinary people. look at this is what also the minister of health a few of the day before yesterday they focused on this issue they said that these huge explosions would cause post. but there is fear that it will cause post-traumatic problems for the palestinian children still the palestinian children have been suffering those who were with children and the war of 2014 now they cut it they cut it with. the post-traumatic problems and some of them to have been frequenting 2 mental health centers so. immediately after following every war or every escalation the medical. health. mental health teams

they deploy and and in the gaza houses they start to contact families specifically or especially those who live near the borders or they visit the families who lost their lives or those who lost their homes or their father so they have their own conduct their research is immediately started dealing on treating. the trauma of the specifically or specially on children resulted from. various collation. suffered. reporting there from gaza for it as always thank you very much. and you can see those live pictures there of the gaza skyline and we've been live with gaza was about 9 minutes now 10 minutes and we heard several explosions many

a long range of rockets now as software was explaining there not only do we hear the sound of attacks coming from israel into gaza but also many of the rockets that are launched by the palestinian factions from gaza into israel because the vast majority of those rockets intercepted by israel's defense system the iron dome system and so you also hear those explosions making it for a terrifying situation there in gaza itself. well let's go to southern israel now where there have been heavy troop movements and the military has drawn up plans for a ground offensive harry force it's at the border near gaza where weaponry is still being exchanged into the night. well i mean that the operations on both sides are still going on but there has been a bit of

a lull in terms of the most recent rocket fire out of gaza and therefore the rocket interceptions above us however we are still hearing regularly artillery heading into gaza from locations around here also the last 10 minutes the that the sound of machine gunfire apparently coming from nearby helicopter as well and so the situation remains that this is a continuing military attack that the israelis seem to be intent on continuing what we saw earlier was the 1st sort of major movement of heavy armory that we had seen so far tanks tracked vehicles heading in a line south towards gaza at the same time as there was this extremely intensive artillery but barrage lasting about an hour then there was some of that something of a pause and another big artery bar coming later and suffer it's been telling you about

the impact on the people of northern gaza and people fleeing and the deaths that are being reported there it's not yet clear whether this is a ground invasion or whether it is kind of a warning of the potential of a ground invasion either way it's already having a devastating impact it seems in northern gaza. well earlier israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited one of the fence of missile systems that we've been talking about known as the island though he reiterated israel's resolve to continue its bombardments. are going to miss a look 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 definity our citizens it will take more time a bubble. gratefulness and off since as well as defense we will achieve our goal of bringing back come to the state of israel. where 7 people have been killed in

israel during this time as well mohammad via looks back now on the strikes both sides in the past day. gaza skyline earlier and fair's they a new wave of israeli air strikes has targeted the hamas police academy among other facilities israel says being used to launch missile attacks on its cities. the israeli bombardment how so far killing dozens of palestinians was israel says hamas has fired up to 1500 rockets into its territory over the past 3 days killing several people. sirens were had in northern israel and elsewhere warning of more hamas missiles. israel's iron dome defense system was seen in action over the border with the gaza strip to intercept palestinian rockets. incoming international

flights to been good in airports near tel aviv were diverted to the southern part of the 2 came under attack although is a way of says the rockets fell short was but in gaza and the west bank palestinians celebrated it did fit the festival marking the end of the holy month of ramadan despite the bombings and on set and on landover thing god all is good but it's just such situation because some people can feel happy and others god help them. it's hard for people in gaza west bank and elsewhere in the world to watch what is going on and keep silent i hope it will be good for all that i will celebrate aboard money to buy new clothes for my son in order to challenge the situation and celebrate i want to make my son happy journey and i hope next state i will take him to pray in el aqsa mosque and chant god the greatest.

hundreds gathered at the compound early morning for 8 previous. days it was a scene of unprecedented raids by israeli forces that frump to the worst violence in the. palestinians say those incidents meant israel had crossed what they describe as a red line as the israeli airstrikes and the hamas rocket attacks continue there are no signs of either side agreeing to a truce. israel has called up thousands of reservists and is massing troops near the border with gaza in what's feel to be a preparation for a land invasion. well as the airstrikes continue so too does violence among palestinian israelis and jewish residents inside israel it is on a scale not seen in decades the tactics of police are now being called into question or a burden i leave reports and a warning there are some strong images from the start. it was

the was it 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 a palestinian man was dragged from his car by dozens of jewish israelis who continued to beat even after he lost consciousness the video was brokaw's live on his radio television. or and the 7 i'm closer to tell of eve palestinian businesses being ransacked the wave of violence has hit dozens of cities and regions across israel it's worse between communities living alongside each other in decades israeli officials say they're more violent

than the protests alleged accent of fatah in 2000 was 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 jara neighborhood israeli journalist yossi melman says he's worried about the groups inside israel running amok he says the 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 netanyahu ordered the emergency deployment of border forces. police tactics are under scrutiny after this video was shed on social media of officers storming a family home in the northern city of haifa they could be seen beating palestinian

israeli. 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 hassouna was shot dead by jewish residents during protests. even though the court is the hearing of chief jura many are now more worried about how to stop the violence caused by anger that's been simmering for much longer. the al jazeera. bed is a palestinian israeli activist in standing together that's a grassroots social organization she joins me now via skype from jaffa in israel madame sank you so much for joining us where we watched that report just now

a very upsetting scenes of the kind of intercommunal violence that we're seeing in many towns in israel what have you been seeing and what have you been experiencing over the past few days. good evening barbara thank you for having me here. it has been really really really tough here specially in cities here in israel you know palestinian communities within these cities have been enduring a lot of. incitement a lot of marginalization a lot of free cism and provoke ations for years for decades really and it really was a ticking bomb and fortunately. for them to have these clashes . even though it's really important to also say that there have been many outsiders outside you know provocations who would come to the cities and and loot and burn

and provoke it has been. extremely difficult it absolutely sounds it and we have been see groups who as you say want to provoke but in your organization you're also organizing marches from what i understand of the grassroots and national level i mean what's going there are you feeling some kind of reaction from parts of the population that want to quell the violence and perhaps from many jewish israelis who who appreciate and want to keep their palestinian israeli neighbors. absolutely you know as you mentioned before we are we are the largest arab jewish grassroots movements in israel and we have been organizing people for 5 years in fact we were founded in the knife's intifada in 2015 which came after. you know the other aggression aggressive attack that was

in gaza in 2014 and it came out of the understanding that we need to organize people and to actually build the capacity to mobilize people exactly for these issues on these instances we invited people to organize protests within very few hours today we had thousands of people reaching out and wanting to organize protests so far we had over $25.00. locations of protests arabs and jews everywhere throughout. you know demanding peace demanding ceasefire demanding freedom for polygamy and and most of all is strengthening and hugging our partnership here the palestinian israeli partnership with and. it has been let's say a breath of fresh air and you know a light of a strike of hope in a very very very difficult situation absolutely and a source of hope is always good in any circumstance but when you see the pictures

of violence and you see the violence escalating as well over gaza do you have a feel scared as a palestinian israeli. that's what i always say you know we are palestinians so we endure. the pain. as humans us palestinians but also we endure the incitement the hate the fear of you know not being able to speak arabic in the streets you know we still have to go to work in mixed offices there's a lot of tension there's a lot of incitement there's a lot of accusations there's a lot of diligent to my station. through we are you know it always feels like our partnership and our part in this society is conditional it's conditional to us being compliant and when we actually have these small moments where it's very clear you know our affiliation and our right to defeat cation us but listen it's

very clear you know in these polarizing moments it becomes very very difficult to be palestinian in spirit absolutely and that is the purpose of these of these protests and the purpose of our movement really and i think it's one of the most important projects of the israeli left at the moment is to income pass and to actually reframe the narrative of arab jewish partnership within israel through an alternative left that accepts the palestinian identity of the arab citizens of. and accepts that as something that is not a contradictory to your legitimacy and. to be to live here and to live in peace and to in an equal justice. and a right to demand freedom for our people in gaza and the west bank. absolutely

sally added the palestinian israeli activist in this standing together aggressor social organization madam the it's been a pleasure talking to you and you know good luck with with the standing together of thank you very much have a good. lebanese security sources meanwhile say that rockets have been launched from south lebanon towards israel in a hall that has more now from the. well lebanese security sources saying that 4 rockets were fired at israel from southern lebanon on and these sources to tell him that in the territories and it's not clear where the other 2 fell but the israeli army is now saying that these rockets landed industry and that there been no casualties and damage the united nations interim force is in southern lebanon there is a peacekeeping force along that volatile border they are urging restraint and they

say that they're in touch with both sides who are true that there's no flare up lebanese security sources believe that palestinian factions were involved in a little blockade launching palestinian refugees who have been going on the way to camp some of those camps have closed the border and some of the palestinian factions in the camps are likely armed get they do have arms so security forces don't believe this is the work of the law that sort of coast as broadly as many in fact group which is also armed in which have gone to war with israel in the past has denied that bombing about a piece was this an apparent show of support and solidarity with the company of people who are confronting the israeli attacks in gaza over a message. another front can easily open while israel continues to pack a gaza left to remember hezbollah is heavily armed has been that considers itself

with part of the so-called resistant track along with how miles along with with the avon that there is no doubt opening a new front to the case for hezbollah they need to take into account to domestic reaction it will be very it will be a very very difficult decisions that have to do that because a full blown escalation at the pacific time while lebanon is undergoing or going through a deep political and economic crisis but then again like i mentioned is this is a show of support for the thought that there through with the palestinian people in the past one gaza has come under attack some rockets have been launched across the border or is this a political message to israel that another front can easily open. well meanwhile the u.s. has objected to a request for a public meeting of the u.n. security council on friday to discuss the israel palestine conflict secretary of state anthony blinken said he was open to a discussion the next week u.s.

president joe biden has called for a significant reduction in rocket attacks but says there has not been an over reaction in the israeli response one of the things that. i have seen thus far is that. there has not been a significant overreaction the question is how. how we get to a point where they get to pool where there is a significant reduction in the attacks particularly the rocket attacks that are indiscriminately fired in the population centers president biden speaking there but as our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat found out the administration's view on palestinian self-defense is less clear. all week the biden administration has repeatedly underscored in its public statements its belief that israel has

a legitimate right to self-defense and has condemned the rocket attacks by hamas so on thursday at the white house press briefing i asked the press secretary whether the biden biggest ration also believes the palestinians have that same right to self-defense here's what she had to say. in the state this policy it's also our right to sell our lives for the attacks not coming from hamas to consider hamas the palestinian leadership let me rephrase the question to you for me to be in the statement damn right it. does the white house does that by the ministration sit down with the. palestinians. in unison akin to that in our readouts and certainly our national security advisor has raised and we have raised at many levels the importance of. addressing the building in these in these communities and the fact that you know in order to move forward and

move toward deescalation that's an important issue to address that has been that has come up i think we've got to move on and let you wrap it's clear that democrats in washington have coordinated their message the top democrat in the house of representatives nancy pelosi giving a similar response however president biden is under increasing pressure from more progressive members of his own democratic party who are accusing him of blaming palestinians for the violence they now face. still to come on the news hour 3 day cease fire for in afghanistan but will it hold a new constitution for but will the voices of women finally. mainland striker find for breaching a curfew in italy full details coming up later in sport. hello
