'd protest across the occupied west bank has israel intensifies bombardments on gaza is a conflict that shows few signs of letting up. well again i'm peter dobby here in doha you're watching al-jazeera also ahead families
7:01 pm
in gaza scared for their lives and forced to leave their homes taking refuge in a school. meanwhile the threat of a ground assault looms still this israel mobilizes tanks and thousands of troops at its border with gaza. starting this half hour in the occupied west bank where a wave of protests have broken out over the israeli occupation there's also growing frustration and anger after israel intensified its airstrikes over gaza to stop rocket attacks from there there are ongoing standoff between protesters and israeli police in at least 200 different places from hebron to bethlehem to nablus and ramallah the police have fired volleys of tear gas and there are reports of live ammunition being used at least 7 palestinians are being killed by israeli security forces in the west bank. since friday morning and more than 400 have been injured
7:02 pm
many gathered for peaceful protest marches after friday prayers there is growing anger over both israel's occupation of palestine and the intensifying bombardment of gaza overnight israeli jets tanks and artillery hammered the territory forcing people to take shelter where they could $122.00 palestinians including $31.00 children have been killed since the offensive began on monday hamas fired another $220.00 rockets towards israel where at least 8 people have died since the conflict escalated the israeli military has deployed thousands of troops to the border between gaza and israel. ok let's talk to him she's our al-jazeera colleague correspondent reporting live for us from ramallah is there a sense there that those young men who are fighting back with rocks and stones can keep this going. there is let's now there is
7:03 pm
a declining or let's say it's calming down a little bit where we are right now but it's still protests are still ongoing in more than $200.00 locations in the occupied west bank where palestinians are fighting the israeli army in different that could give you even an idea of how many israeli military checkpoints are in place in the occupied west bank you can't even go from one city to another without passing one or 2 or 3 or sometimes there are what palestinians call the flying checkpoints which are put in in a on incident and then palestinians have to pass through them this is something that has become part of the palestinian reality under occupation seeing israeli soldiers on the ground having these military checkpoints having to cross them when they want to go over one city to another and it kind of makes life so hard for them
7:04 pm
that it's even hard peter for a person to predict when they are going to be arriving from one city to another because there could be long queues at these checkpoints they might be delayed or they might be asked to go back or so there are so many things in a palestinians life that do not go as smoothly as they should because of the israeli occupation let alone the israeli land grabs and the fact that these palestinians believe that it has been their leaders have been promising them of a land that the only thing they're seeing is the land grabs by the israelis and the very land that they were supposed to have a state on is shrinking more and more by the day. and also the reality for those people behind you that you've been describing for us in the last hour or so the last few hours indeed the reality for them i guess is that the standard that the starting point rather for their situation if you're in your late teens or early twenty's you've got nothing the middle of the medical systems in gaza were
7:05 pm
stretched any way because of coronavirus and also the way that israel looked after israel very well when it came to vaccinating people israel did a good job for israelis not so much for palestinians and we were talking to a leading health ministry doctor in our last hour and he was saying look egypt opening the border is good news but we need an awful lot more of that because the starting gate for this is so difficult anyway. and this is why many palestinians would tell you even though they have a palestinian authority that has some sort of a very diminishing self governance that they are actually living under an apartheid state where they believe that israel is the ultimate power that is governing governing both the israelis and palestinians in the occupied west bank while giving privileges and no. rights to their israeli citizens
7:06 pm
while giving less so of these rights to the palestinians with israeli citizenship and giving almost nothing to palestinians in the occupied west bank they've been hearing these protesters here over the past few years the voices of their radical and the right wing in israel becoming kind of mainstream they are seeing the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu coming to illegal israeli settlements like this one over here and saying that this is an israeli land that they should be building in it and at the same time these palestinians look at this past in authority which is just a few years more than some of these protesters here it was established in the 1990 s. in the mid of the 1990 s. and they believe that this palestinian authority is not helping them. get free from the occupation they feel that if the palestinian authority is not part of the
7:07 pm
solution that it is part of the problem. thank you very much senator lieberman there reporting live from ramallah. kerry force it has more now from near an israeli artillery battery in southern israel we're seeing. strikes on gaza itself that seem determined to inflict a large amount of damage both in terms of the huge buildings that we've seen demolished by israeli airstrikes the targeted attacks on senior members of hamas the ignoring really of international calls to step back or talk about cease fires at this moment and also we're talking about something that we are hearing in israeli reporting which was this enormous barash and bombardment in northern gaza
7:08 pm
on thursday night there was a talk at that time of a potential ground incursion and indeed the israeli military said that it was attacking in gaza from the ground and from the air so that seemed to be a suggestion in many media companies took it as a suggestion that there was a ground invasion underway the reporting in israeli military now is that that was actually an attempt to drive people fighters underground in a concentrated area of tunnels get them preparing for the potential of an attack and then launch this very large bombardment from the artillery that you can see behind us here from the air as well 450 separate missile strikes the israeli military says it is assessing that damage. and we're hearing nothing on that front from hamas itself there was a very large round of rocket strikes shortly after that on the city of ashkelon air force are reporting there the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel is fighting
7:09 pm
a war on 2 fronts and he's warning the military operation against hamas will continue as. i said that we would exact a very heavy price from hamas and the other terrorist organizations we are doing so and we will continue to do so with great force the final word has not been said and this operation will continue as long as necessary. well meanwhile a funeral is being held in gaza for a family of 6 who were killed by an israeli air strike the mother and father and 4 children died overnight when an israeli warplane targeted their home. my brother rufford was present may god have mercy on him he his wife and 4 children there was no warning or anything 5 rockets his wife was pregnant they have no mercy neither for children nor adults may god have mercy on them. al-jazeera suff what joins us live from gaza suff what i understand you can confirm for us that you have seen the
7:10 pm
reality of outgoing missiles from gaza going from gaza to israel. yes. few minutes ago there was. a new fresh rockets were fired from gaza into southern israel but they were short of trains are ok it's a like the previous barge that. minutes before the latest rockets fired from gaza israeli drones fired rockets on a house in eunice which is in the south of the gaza strip. in comparison with yesterday specifically last my. sense of the fire is live. we can also say that today is calmer than yesterday at least so far even the level of the fire from the scale of the fire of the palestinians fighting
7:11 pm
groups or worse is that i also lived yesterday the other hand still the waves of hundreds of seniors are still leaving their homes across the border that line or either from gaza city or from the extreme north of gaza they are leaving their homes because of the. because of the heavy shelling across the border line and they are now. hitting many of them already in schools and some more people are still arriving on the road school because there is fear of more israeli fire targeting. the ministry of health say. 121 pounds of senior been killed by the israelis more than 100 injured. 21. children also included in the whole of the $121.00 the ministry of
7:12 pm
health in gaza say. they are not able to deal with the huge number. injuries that have been arriving to the hospital i think that the bank of a blog. appeals for 4 public. people for a blood donations because they got the host because of the running of the blog units because of the big number of. people arriving to their cover for a possible another due to the development of egypt opened its border. to deceive. people from gaza and the. hospital to receive the injured or the from gaza so many thanks reporting live from gaza well manik is a palestinian she's been living in turkey for the past 4 years but returned to gaza just before ramadan to visit family strikes are being carried out near where she is
7:13 pm
staying. the least i can say that what's going on it's a crisis i survived that were 200820122014 i could say and my family saying that it was going on is much worse than the previous worse i mean the bombings have not stopped the target is over the national building that are really in the city where i live and there has been covering fire from the gunboats like home depot and also from the airplane. that my friend in the north and we are getting for me and to leave their home. look at your monthly on the net my 948 it is summer and recent make me wonder is why the ones yesterday here to new. mines in statements saying that israel had survived the self-defense and this means that israel will
7:14 pm
not be held accountable for more on its committing against this it's the recent gaza strip so i'm really not optimistic and really want to share the story and in my experience here being like a time is the single hour i mean it's the the what is i mean i i can't really put a response going on here and the situation is getting mighty so i really hope this will come on and i hope that the international community will interfere and apply pressure to the crimes committed in. when we return more of our special coverage on the rising israel palestine conflict plus we'll have more from the occupied west bank as night begins to fall protests continue and israel continues its bombardments to stay with us.

7:18 pm
bombardment of gaza. overnight jets tanks and artillery hammered the territory killing a mother and her 3 sons 122 palestinians including 31 children have now been killed since the offensive began on monday hamas fired another 220 rockets towards israel 8 people have died since the conflict began to ask. him is our correspondent in ramallah in the occupied west bank certain it a few days ago people were saying if this boils over it will boil over where you are in ramallah but yet despite that looking as if that's precisely what is happening in real time hour to hour why are the protesters there not hearing very much if anything a tall from the palestinian authority leadership. they would tell you that they don't care to hear from the palestinian authority as they don't expect it to be
7:19 pm
taking a hard stance when it comes to israel let me read you a statement that was just put out by the official news agency wafa about the palestinian presidency a statement from the palestinian presidency condemning the what they call the murders the systematic murders against the palestinians people palestinians by the israeli occupation forces and the presidency has said that the israeli government is the one responsible for this dangerous escalation as far as the statement goes it warned of the continuation of these criminal acts and said that it's calling upon the engine and the u.s. administration to intervene so the situation doesn't go. outside the control doesn't doesn't go. problematic and it's also called upon the international the u.n.
7:20 pm
security council to intervene excuse me as i was just reading the statement that has just been put out by the official news agency we've seen had slight change in tone when we've heard the palestinian president talk on wednesday after a leadership meeting in which he said that our people have said their word and we are by it that they want an end of the occupation and settlements and israeli impunity so it seems that the palestinian leadership is finally realizing the gap between it and those protesters and many other protesters in different parts of the occupied west bank and is trying to kind of step up its game to to to talk to them and say that they are with the palestinians but as far as many palestinians would tell you they lost hope they lost trust in the palestinian authority and they see it from other parts of the broader than part of the. there thank you very much senator ibrahim there reporting live from ramallah will go tomorrow on bashar in
7:21 pm
just a 2nd chief middle east political analysts but what i want to show you just now is a live shot coming to us from ashkelon we're looking at there is an israeli military installation that is capable of striking inside gaza southern israel of rockets recently just 2 days ago started off by killing 2 and sending residents scrambling for shelters because that was one of the locations where these long range surprisingly long range well equipped. missiles managed to get to that's the scene over the skies of gaza city right now we were talking to our correspondent who saw firsthand missiles being launched from gaza across the border into israel clearly israel believes at the moment it is day 5 it coming in today 6 sons to over. garza
7:22 pm
as we head into the night of day 5 of this particular episode the conflict between israel and hamas if you can term it in that way but he saw those missiles being fired clearly hamas is well equipped and israel despite its best efforts to degrade the weaponry that hamas has in its possession has not managed to do that because out on the ground on that rooftop seeing the missiles being fired watching the contrails as the missiles went from west to east across the border landing we don't know where yet in israel let's talk to my one bashar al jazeera senior political analyst ma an interesting conversation i'm not sure if you heard it there with no abraham but the people of ramallah feel they should be getting more than they are getting from the palestinian authority i mean if not now
7:23 pm
then. yes and i think what's to be expected from the pacino authority is not leadership of an uprising. present a bus could not do that it is already taken a strategic position. that any such in defied that would not be to the interest of the president people in fact he was quite critical of the us and the problem but what we see is that the seat of change ended at a scene in that it is forcing the all sort of things at least a state aside meaning if it's not going to lead it should mean it should not it should just basically stop arresting people who are objecting to the occupation stop with the security coordination with his own as it were that's on the one of them on the more important of what i think theater and that goes to the heart of what we've seen in terms of policy in uprising since 1987 it's not so much of that
7:24 pm
but it's you know 30 about was created with the austral process that's one of the palestinian factions i think that a seen factions motived in the west bank it would be fight the fight that is the main secular party alone would have mass are basically you know make up the majority of organized political parties within within the occupied if the 2 organizations especially if i think about as well as the other small organization like the popular front or the democratic front those also are ethnic come in as an organized manner then i think we would see. the west bank doing the heavy lifting as israel and one of our gaza i think the west bank and east jerusalem could go up in a measured up evil once the biggest thing in factions not to be a fight with major organizing or going to station structure it that it's not it's if they step in and take up the mantle if you will. the previously was sort of the
7:25 pm
popular peaceful struggle against occupation then we want to see another or a 3rd uprising happening. we were talking a little earlier on the news program that you joined us on to medical spokesman for the health ministry in gaza and he was saying yes lord with egypt being open tomorrow for humanitarian purposes is good news is not enough good news but it's a help because our people are tired despite calls for a stepping back from where we are at the moment is that what's got to happen for tea not just in gaza because clearly that's what israel wants to get to but also for t. and tiredness people are tired of this but they need to be tired in israel so netanyahu and hamas react to what's being said and felt on the palestinian street on the israeli street as well if only because i guess in garza the palestinians are
7:26 pm
fatigued because of say something we're discussing yesterday the hypocrisy of regional alliances here you know because the palestinians haven't they they've seen 4 countries in the middle east quote normalize relations with israel when the relationship wasn't normal to start with. no sir absolutely and i think the palestinians while yes there is a midget but the but let's remember this has been going on for a contest 50 years it's back to this procession has been happening for over 7 years and just to give you a bit of an idea again. really speaking to the many questions that you good reason important questions about context about history about root causes because we cannot just say with a minute to minute a tit for tat that is going on context here is keep those people in gaza that may
7:27 pm
or may not be if. there are refugees and their absolute majority from the last towns that are being subject to threats from have us meaning the people in gaza come from s. going on the people from gaza i don't know if you g.'s from. the people in ashkelon are refugees from leds and from jaffa all of that southern part of israel is out of force by hopko cook some 70 years ago a lot of people to become refugees in the gaza strip so the people who want to enjoy peace and security in the southern part of israel distributed minded that they have taken over the land somebody holds them the villages of those who are. in refuge in this big present called gaza for the last 5 decades so how could you have any started that it how could you have any peace and stability if those refugees
7:28 pm
remain in a big prison called gaza and the israeli government would not pay them any serious attention because a couple of other countries wanted to normalize relations with. this all takes us back to the square one square one is there is a palestinian question it's the central question in the region yes there are syria yes there are iraq egyptian jordanian yemeni they are very important to their people but no one or thought question for all the arab people in the region is the policy the question because it's the last call on your question and that's the question that israel must answer if it doesn't answer no agreement with no arab regime is going to save it from that a serious and out of public opinion on the long on the long term already people are we are saying people in jordan. and we're seeing the public opinion even in egypt
7:29 pm
changing not wishing to put words into your mouth or editorialize in any way shape or form at all marwan and briefly because we're hitting the headlines in 90 seconds . if you were the colonial power to pick up on the point of being a colonial power or if your a prison guard in trained in law ironically given that this isn't a completely asymmetrical conflict as ever there is ironically a duty of care not a duty of care for say the palestinian authority that we've just been discussing to look up the palestinians there is a duty of care in trying to law for israel to look after the palestinians inside the occupied territory it's there it's written down it's codify it. absolutely under international law israel as the occupying power has obligation to worst occupied people best course for the west bank gaza as well as east jerusalem you
7:30 pm
don't either i remember the mayor of jerusalem saying something like we did nothing what is to us and we did nothing for the palestinian neighborhoods in jerusalem the only thing we did once we tried to fix the sewers and you know why we tried to fix the sewers because they were having cases of cholera and you know and all of that means that the jews would also start suffering from color the proximity ought to sit at the proximity between palestinians and israelis are now. 6 miles between any palestinian and any jewish person in historic palestine no jewish person lives more than 6 miles from a palace thing so they need to take care of that by the scene is important because that's also good for the safety and the security and the prosperity of jewish israelis mowen talk to you soon thank you very much ma i'm sorry the senior political analyst. let's just update you with the very latest information as we have it here on al-jazeera at least 9 palestinians have been killed by israeli
