the trees planted are either dying or already dead and while polluting countries have recently pledged billions of dollars more in funds for this project people here say they are throwing money into the desert they say they don't need more trees but more access to water. protests across the west bank as anger grows over the israeli occupation and the offensive on gaza. television on sun summary here in doha with continuing coverage of developments across the middle east families inside the strip speaking of terror and chaos as israel's bombing campaign forces dozens from their homes fires hundreds of rockets
5:01 pm
in response there is a threat of a ground assault looming as israel mobilizes tanks and thousands of troops at its border with gaza. and in other news several indian states look overseas to buy their covert 19 vaccines the number of infections climbs about 24000000. again in the occupied west bank 4 palestinians have been killed by israeli security forces this morning we're looking at 4 different locations for you right now top left ramallah where those protests have only increased in the past hour since we were on a protest against the israeli occupation and what's happening of course in gaza as well bottom right for you is bethlehem where protests many of people gathered for peaceful protests in. after friday prayers but that anger as we say only growing
5:02 pm
over the occupation and the bombardment of gaza bottom left state ots is maybe a sign of what's to come remembering hamas fired $220.00 rockets towards israel and at least 8 people have died there in the israeli military looking to counter that by increasing its forces along the border with gaza to i think 7000 troops have been called up and there are tanks in place as well and of course top. quiets at the moment after overnight israeli jets and tanks and artillery hammered the territory 119 palestinians including 31 children have been killed in gaza since the offensive began on monday 4 locations for you but all very much intertwined our correspondents are across all of those locations as well there's harry forsett in southern israel we'll talk to him shortly also suffer 100 in gaza starting though abraham in ramallah in the occupied west bank and things have
5:03 pm
really developed behind you in just the last hour and later. yes and we have also one more palestinian who was confirmed dead by israeli fire in one of the confrontations that are going on in the occupied west bank we have hearing that there are more than $200.00 locations in the occupied west bank where palestinians are confronting with these radio army this makes the total total of palestinians killed in the occupied west bank since the early hours of friday to $54.00 of them in these confrontations and one the israeli army says he attempted to attack the israeli soldiers near the israeli settlement of we have no way to. verify the is ready narrative but this is something that usually also happens when palestinians are killed by israeli army's fire in military checkpoints the army's
5:04 pm
narrative is usually that someone tried to it. to conduct an attack as far as their families are concerned mostly say most of them say that that wasn't the case of course in some cases we know that castilians are attacking israelis as a as part of what they want to do to fight the israeli occupation this is also one element of what palestinians are trying to do now here protesters coming to the near the illegal jewish settlement of neutral where there is a military checkpoint and where palestinians are using rocks and we've seen them using fireworks as well as a moment of cocktails these are. both tools that are filled with petrol a burning piece of cloth and some glue and then it is targeted at the israeli
5:05 pm
soldiers it's lit and thrown at the israeli soldiers it's important to remember that the. all of the rocks and these molotov cocktails and sometimes the palestinians like in bethlehem use marbles the ability of those things to inflict danger to put the israeli soldiers in danger is very minimal so palestinian protesters are telling us while they know that the power dynamic is not in their favor it is one way of showing the israeli occupation that they are not afraid that they are going to still be fighting and they're not going to be scared of the have believe armed soldiers that we are seeing now here in betty and in more than $200.00 other locations let's not forget that on saturday palestinian commemorates and knockabout which is the creation of the state of israel and as far as palestinians are concerned it's reminds them of the forceful displacements of
5:06 pm
hundreds of thousands of palestinians to allow for the creation of the state of israel of course that was followed later by the occupation of the west bank the gaza strip of course the west bank to the east jerusalem so there is there is a lot of frustration here what this memory brings to the palestinians so that's why we're seeing many of them here and in more than 200 other locations in the west bank. and just out of interest when we see the israeli presence that is there today the tanks and the troops which are brought in on a quote unquote normal day do you still see them around the place again i'm always trying to give our viewers an idea of what it's like corners and every day basis even when there's not an acute conflict. even when there is not a true test even when there is not a conflict you might to be seeing tanks here and there and occupied west bank now
5:07 pm
the ones we're seeing today including the foul smelling water tank are brought in here as a way to disperse the crowd to intimidate the palestinians we've even seen by the israelis the use of some something here called must that he be which is people who are israelis who look like arabs to try and influence infiltrate in between the protesters to try and address them so you have all these things that are related to protests per se but you have other aspects of the israeli occupation that are always there you see the illegal israeli settlements on any way between one palestinian city to another even if it's a half an hour what our way you will be using bypass roads that are filled with more than 700 cameras so the fact that the occupation is there is not something that it's easy to miss but maybe some of these elements are just really to the
5:08 pm
protesters per se ok thank you for him in ramallah in the occupied west bank that's top left on your screen right now that's ground level just down from we need to and her team of broadcasting from the 4 pictures you see on screen now tells an interesting story because look at the one place that's quiet it's top right now that would we would suspect change as we've seen over the last 3 days when airstrikes increase into the evening but it is everywhere else ramallah nablus and bethlehem in the occupied west bank where there is the unrest today as people protest what has been going on in gaza but as we keep making the point again they are overall protesting the idea of being under occupation for decades right moving to the next correspondent it's harry force that he's in southern israel the one picture we didn't have on the. in the harry of course is where the build up of israeli military around the borders is that's i mean that suggests something is happening. yes well i think it's
5:09 pm
to some extent it shows really what has already happened let me just tell you even more recently what has just happened there's been another big volley of rocket fire coming out from gaza some of it to our east some of it's to the west of us so the east of us as well. and the indications from the alerts that flashed up on our phones are that it was the city of ashkelon we heard some intersections quite close to us also the city of best shavit a long way from gaza to the east and in the area around the gaza envelope as well so another round of rocket fire coming out from gaza in terms of the massed weaponry you see behind me here this was very much in play on the previous night and through the night in what was the biggest bombardment of the entire military escalation so far from the israeli side attacking the north of the
5:10 pm
gaza strip we saw scenes of hundreds of residents palestinians streaming south through the streets of gaza as that attack took place. civilians killed in that as well one mother and 3 children were killed in that attack but there is reporting also coming out from the israeli media as to exactly what the story of that may well have been from the israeli military perspective they talked about the potential of a ground invasion earlier in the day they tweeted out the israeli military that they were attacking from the ground and the air in gaza which led to reports of a potential invasion there is reporting that that was part of a plan to try to drive on. how mass and islamic jihad and other fighters into a tunnel network and cause some of them to come out and try to attack any incoming
5:11 pm
ground invasion before a very major strike 450 missiles from 160 aircraft 150 separate targets in that very concentrated area in northwest in gaza so that is the reporting coming out of the israeli media we're not hearing anything officially from hamas about that yet there was a major response after that about 3 am $220.00 rockets fired at ashkelon but that is the latest that is far from any sense of an imminent ground invasion happening right now that this might be the the remnants of what was a preordained plan over night. ok wait and see at the border then it's hairy full set in southern israel thank you. is there for us and can you expand on any of that stuff what i'm reading here as well because some brigades talking about new rockets being launched. let's start with the new.
5:12 pm
israeli airstrike few minutes ago israeli. fighting jets hit one of the local banks shifa hospital this is the 3rd barn that the israeli forces have been attacking or that he had been attacking claiming that this is part of hamas' financial infrastructure. minutes before that of the israeli air strike that military wing of hamas will brigades. knew about raj of rockets towards. as well as. we could realize that the israeli intensifying their fire and that central area of the gaza strip was specifically. refugio they had. some but is it then shelled houses they said that they belonged. to fighting fighting commandos belong to the military wing of hamas but. some of the
5:13 pm
residential houses who are. next attached to this house have been also destroyed and that is some civilians who have been killed in these attacks in the central area of gaza the minister of health the number of killed the people killed in the latest round of collation is 122 including 31 children and 20 women the number of injured people up to 100 people. in service is due to. believe that. there are more people under the rubble of the destroyed houses from the loss of my. tax hundreds of people also a lot from last night until now are still moving from their homes. across the
5:14 pm
border the law in towards the united nation schools taking from the schools shelters we spoke to and they said yes people open the doors they fled from bottom and they are taking shelters from from our schools who are still considering the humanitarian aid or what they can do for the people who are taking children from their schools thank you for those updates. in gaza. on the news our retired brigadier general amir. he's in with an israeli security forces company we talked about the issue of forces on either side and who has the obvious advantage he still accuses hamas fighters of being the threat to palestinian citizens. there last year is a massive. brick you were brought from you learn 50000 rockets with a large range with warheads and all these rockets are shot at israeli people in
5:15 pm
israeli cities directly at citizens this ready defense forces are attacking the people of iraq that can directly hamas that they're at the in this land that jihad this terrorists try to hide behind civilians and we're doing a very very precise job in order to hit only difference is rarely needs to do seems needs to destroying this capability do this this might take some time now since we don't have to mean interested in occupying again. walking mostly from here this is a big complicated and they're not necessarily you can achieve anything you want from the year so it might day. but when it will diminish dramatically their capabilities 1st of all and then get the terrence get them to understand that they need to stop shooting israeli citizens let's check the live shots for you quickly
5:16 pm
again and see what is happening around the region and again as i pointed out earlier it's gaza which is actually looking a little quieter at the moment ramallah nablus and bethlehem all different locations of unrest in the occupied west bank my own bashar our senior political analyst with us as well it's telling isn't it marwan i know that things will increasing gaza we're already hearing about rockets outgoing and there will no doubt be more israeli air strikes but the level of unrest today which speaks to the occupation the underlying condition not the symptom of what's happening in gaza. naturally and one of the report's reliable reports i've seen today is that already there are 35 hotspots in the west bank in the so-called area sea where unarmed palestinians face up israeli occupation
5:17 pm
soldiers and i think finally if you were last at a number of days of bombings on gaza the west bank is doing some of the lifting as it and sort it out at the end support actions who some of buxus one people and now israel father suddenly finds itself confronting. sort of a popular mini op evil and in its own territory in israel and we're seeing that mounting in the west bank in jerusalem and of course we see the confrontation in gaza so clearly the palestinians from the northern galilee to the southern tip of gaza are now you know in one voice. basically saying and the occupation and the bombing and the eviction and the assault on our holy places and in that sense netanyahu is raising the stakes with gaza raising the
5:18 pm
stakes in jerusalem reckoning that. 40 years on the trump will continue where he simply does not need to address the grievances of the palestinians because he has a couple of normalization of relations with many states somewhere in the region eventually now facing what he and his predecessors have been facing for more than 50 years now and that is occupied people rising against they have. the thing is this is continually sliding further and further right isn't it i mean a lot of people are saying this level of unrest and protests that we're seeing is a result of years and netanyahu and him moving further right but and it feels like israeli politics is food moving even further someone like you know nothing bennett who we spoke to yesterday. right and the clip that you played a couple of days ago these are the putin mayor say you know we should not shut you
5:19 pm
in the street in the foot to shut up shut you in the head that's a deputy mayor of jerusalem imagine talking about one of the citizens city yes there is there's something new in this not only there is a quantitative move to the right. where the absolute majority now or this or the knesset is something right then radical right radical right the right but we have also a qualitative change in the mindset i remember reading as a student of israeli politics where for a long time israelis used to have this what they called in israel shooting on crying days rain is always felt especially in the lead but. you know yes they are shooting the palestinians that they had to do what they had to do yes they had to take them from their homes just they had to destroy 400 palestinian villages in town which as your correspondent said we commemorate to $73.00 in the year since
5:20 pm
that happens but today they're not longer shooting and crying they're shooting on laughing and. they're shooting on lying in misery in the sense that you know they need to give you these arguments such as you know we don't we don't bomb the way they bomb but you killing more people than they are you simply terrorizing an entire generation of students and that entire generation of postings have been there and now we have out we have a 3rd generation in gaza that has suffered from distraught so israeli oppression israeli bombardment you know we've heard a couple of days ago the head of hamas and we've heard a lot about have us the last of its many. many a probably was what 56 years old when israel took over the gaza strip imagine an entire generation of palestinian 2nd. generation 3rd generation living under the same in the same big prison under the same israeli occupation that does not bode
5:21 pm
well for peace does not ward well for a quick existence that does not bode well for israeli security and if i may add that does not bode well for the security and the state of the will israeli children because it's not getting any better and the israeli mindset is not getting any more moderate what we're seeing is a cycle of violence leading to a cycle of extremism in both. the palestinians and the. and that is clearly one solution you hear it in washington you had the london you even hear it in tel aviv and jerusalem and that is you either accept a 2 state solution for 2 people equal and so on so forth or you accept a one state for what the people are living as equal citizens there is no military solution what does that what the west bank or for palestine. senior political analyst with his views today thank you for that matter one. the rest of the day's
5:22 pm
news is coming up including a look at how chile is upcoming vote promises to give indigenous groups more of a say in the country's future. well the rains officially started the season of rain started in japan and you can see there those racket there's obviously more to come in japan south korea and the central part of china which might start off giving some wet weather in beijing but it's not that much further southeast across the yangtze just to the south hong kong's largely a dry and humid story 33 degrees not a big surprise really and south of this active weather with a tropical spin it coming across the central philippines it might briefly show itself as a revolving storm but i don't think so not all the elements are there it broke just
5:23 pm
fizzle out in the following day or so and the big storms in the northeast of india are not as big as they were because much of the energy of the atmosphere is this revolving storm that's producing a lot of rain in kerala gattaca up towards go and beyond we think it'll probably head up towards. may not make landfall certainly bring the rain there that's not a certain for cos it's definitely want to watch about all that's going on the remaining few showers in iran are still there on sunday will tend to become life for i think by sunday for the most pass the vans the arabian picture it's on the hot side easily in the forty's for most places. for. killing the debate you don't see this action and amplify your voice you're only human mr merrett the media will miss when true story no topic is
5:24 pm
off the table why in the world would we humanize an individual domestic terrorist this was an illegal occupation of a country what they're doing is they're removing or just historical vision is in the street where a global audience becomes a global community on al-jazeera. earth . we're back with al-jazeera this hour let's kick off with a look at what is happening around the occupied west bank at the moment ok 1st of all stop top right a plume of smoke going up right now the sign of and it's happening right now a sign of an israeli air strike would say not long after some rockets had left gaza
5:25 pm
as well that they had fired at another and it is around this time it's 5 30 in the evening there that there are strikes start to increase in intensity the shot from gaza has been relatively quiet until now it's the other 3 locations nablus bethlehem ramallah i think we're going to throw in there. where there has been so much on rest today more over the israeli occupation the decades of occupation rather than just what is happening in gaza but it all ties together of course and the top right you're seeing gaza fresh israeli air strikes just in the last 30 seconds to one minute those have begun keeping an eye on all of those we'll bring you back to them a little bit later. india's prime minister is reassuring the people that the government is doing everything it can to stop the spread of covert 19. administration has faced heavy criticism for being poorly prepared and allowing large political rallies in the u.s.

more elusive. and chile's current constitution denies the very existence of indigenous people it says that chile is a monocultural country so that is our 1st challenge not only to be recognized as a people but to obtain historic recognition of the genocide carried out against the by colonial state that has to chile and eyes the native people to create a how marginalized country at an irreparable cost for our own people romero's father was a revered community long or chief before he died earlier this year he asked his son to take his place as a candidate to fill one of the 7 seats allocated to the in the upcoming constitutional convention. we believe that firstly has to be a historic recognition of what happened to generate justice and reparation and compensation for the damage done to our people just like the german state has done to compensate victims of the holocaust. the indigenous weaponry people on easter
