go up the chain of command to the political leadership for a decision to be made. with darkness another line of tanks and for the shelling perhaps the preliminary phase of a ground attack perhaps a ploy to pressure hamas whichever the impact on northern gaza it was immediate and heavy the 1st day of the holiday had started grimly enough for these families it end on the streets exposed in fear of an israeli incursion even as the fighting factions said they would welcome one 3rd of. all i though nothing that the enemy is doing will change our strategy will have a bigger chance of killing and capturing more of your soldiers don't threaten us with what will bring us victory this would be the shortest way to our victory. to the israeli military had said it carried out a series of major strikes against hamas destroying an intelligence unit in southern russia knocking a hamas attack drone out of the sky. for yet another

day the rocket fire out of gaza came in waves against central and southern israel were targeted by major barrier and hamas said a new long range rocket was used to target the far southern airport of rome on where israel had routed incoming airliners israeli prime minister visiting iron dome. interceptor units said the military attacks would continue but most of him by hamas we continue to strike hamas while defending our citizens it will take more time. a short time later he was on israel's 2nd front a parallel crisis of lawless racial violence which is gripped its towns and cities more dangerous than all the intelligence we have says that it is very possible that there will be an increase in violence here in the coming days they may be an exchange of blows here and in cases like these in order to suppress the riot we need to use force a lot of forth we will use it while giving full support to the israeli police in

the town of. mourning was spent surveying the damage of the attack the night before you heard that there are signs that the clever they did it because we speak arabic we're not bad people we did nothing remember hurt anyone we've been here for 20 years alongside them as neighbors family and friends we did not expect this to happen. intelligence about further violence was soon proven accurate israeli law enforcement so far unable to stem this common or bloodletting in lloyd the palestinian israeli firing on jews was. killed elsewhere jewish israeli journalists attacked by jewish extremists unhappy with their coverage this is a spasm of internal insecurity that like the military situation in the south is at the moment only escalating kerry forces al-jazeera southern israel where let's

an over reaction mostly in jordan reports now from washington d.c. . after 4 days of deadly violence between the palestinians and the israelis u.s. president joe biden is sticking with his calls for both sides to hold their fire the question is how. how we get to a point where they get to a point where there is a significant reduction in the attacks particularly the rocket attacks that are indiscriminately fired into population centers the biden administration had not made the israeli palestinian matter a top foreign policy concern mainly because of the cold at 1000 pandemic and the resulting economic slowdown analysts say that was a mistake the team has not fully stepped out on the middle east it's adopted this posture that i think affected badly the obama administration as well which is this

reactive tactical crisis management posture the white house has agreed to join an emergency un security council meeting on the crisis on sunday in the meantime it has sent a state department official to tell of eve to urge israeli and palestinian officials to declare a cease fire a point underscored thursday by u.s. secretary of state tony blinken but we are deeply concerned with the loss of life. among civilians especially among among children. the palestinians have a right to live in security and to live in peace just as israelis do and so. we are working hard to encourage. all sides to stand down meanwhile in congress strong bipartisan support for israel but from

democrats a show of support too for palestinians caught in the fighting there is a respect for meeting the needs of the palestinians but there is a palestinian have struggle and this is about how mosque so i wouldn't just label it palestinian i would say hamas and hamas is. threatening the security of people and israel israel has a right to defend itself from republicans accusations the u.s. has indirectly endangered israelis by trying to pursue a new nuclear deal with hamas is primary supporter iran if difficult to believe an american president would consider removing terrorism or missile related functions at the very moment right now rockets are writing down on israel a sign of how challenging it will be for the biden administration to manage this sensitive part of its foreign policy rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. let's

try to reconnect with gaza and get a sense of what's going on that i'm hoping we can speak to who sunny and tell me about your experiences. as the bombardment has continued. yeah actually everything i say as an i was up this but last night was the obvious and most sense as united's major. 2014 rough outlines of civilians were killed and injured in the little gogarty. which witnessed the host of high and attacks 160 is rightly or planes in addition times i'm shows where obama being and how only 62 kilometers you can imagine in only 45 minutes more of that on 450 missiles both and sheryl's were dropped * in that you know so i guess it is clear that israeli occupation is following

a scorched earth and civilian population of gaza are devastating the infrastructure and turning the whole own neighborhoods into rubble especially in the north of the gaza cost $90.00. 1 have nothing to palestinians up and go including 31 children are 19 when the women i'd also over 130 others have been injured i doubt that's 43 percent 'd of the bookies are in one children and by a great it is true if it is true actually israeli occupation is only targeting their resistance and the army in gaza i guess it is. to do without causing that huge damage to the. civilian population and causing this rising numbers of casualties i mean you know vivian is ready to carry out and are able to do that precisely and use timely parget. armed safe if it wants to

not having to cause that huge damage because we are being surveys 247 in gaza surveyed. the israeli occupation has the most sophisticated weapons and has the most. historic one of some just nice and there were so many things anybody said to me just just let me jump in there for a 2nd just give us your experience what it's like living as all these missiles and shells fall can you can you sleep at night can you go out on the street to buy food let's look at. the action have been set for the past 3 days except for a few interrupted dollars because the show that i'm going to be fun to surprise mostly at night yes we are a bit sometimes to read could buy food or deliver ordered the greatest but 'd most of the shops are closed because they are being bombarded at the center of the shops very much a neighbor how the most vital the neighborhood where in most shops was good then

a large scale. being that it is hard actually to live through it and i think mostly because i know that israeli occupation is going to intensify the shows that mostly at night last night for example. israeli army including the occupation that forces and also the artillery and tanks where obama being the death of mr x. is last year old at the same time so it is hard and looking good i was unsure where been going to sit and i am also not safe because i know very well that nothing is safe or as rain here i mean we have witnessed this radio station fire getting civilian populations and looting schools and hospitals and also in various cities and media offices by the way and they have abided to buildings including doesn't
