8:01 pm
scared for their lives and forced to leave their homes taking refuge in schools. and going it alone several indian states look over scenes to buy 1000 vaccines the number of infections climbs above 24000000. the wave of protests against the israeli occupation of swept across the west bank today there is growing frustration and anger after israel intensified its airstrikes over gaza there being confrontations between protesters and israeli police in at least 200 different places from hebron and bethlehem to nablus and ramallah the police have fired volleys of tear gas and there are reports of live ammunition being used at least 10 palestinians have been killed by israeli security forces in the occupied west bank on friday and more than 400 were wounded there
8:02 pm
have been fresh israeli air strikes in gaza. that's the moment when the building housing the interior ministry was attacked there's no word yet on any casualty figures a multi-story building that had a hamas bank in its was also leveled in a separate strike at least one $122.00 palestinians including $31.00 children have not been killed since the offensive because on monday. so. it will talk to him in just a moment about those latest strikes but 1st let's go to ramallah my colleague need to improve him who's following events for us there is it beginning to calm down there now. in the new cation where we are now right now near the legal settlement of bet el we can say that it's calm down it started coming down when it was because the sun was setting many palestinians think it's very dangerous it's
8:03 pm
even more dangerous when it's nighttime they can't see if the israeli soldiers are sneaking in from the trees over here so it really depends on the location it is still ongoing the protests are still ongoing in many different locations including in and around nablus in the north of york you fight west bank this is an area that is known for many secular attacks most of the attacks that that happened are centered in that area as well as in hebron so you can sense that you can tell that there is a lot of frustration by palestinians who are over there and a large number of those who were killed since the early hours of friday where in and around now plus we have the latest figures from the palestinian health ministry they say that more that is sorry the 10 palestinians were killed by israeli forces fire one that the israeli army said killed after. palestinian tried
8:04 pm
to attack israeli soldiers who were near an illegal israeli. the mint and the rest were killed in confrontations that are erupting in many different cities in the occupied west bank the health ministry is saying that there are 2 more critical injuries that were of 2 palestinians who had hit by live ammunition so we might be seeing more and more numbers of palestinians who were killed by israeli forces fire and we are going to be following up on this news comes sunrise come daylight your time and energy get the feeling that you'll see more protests there those those protesters out on the streets despite despite the drone attacks despite what we think will probably israeli military sniper fire and those people standing in broad daylight this wasn't guerrilla warfare this wasn't street to street alleyway to alleyway they were standing in plain view to everyone. yes and
8:05 pm
what is remarkable about the next sunrise that we are expected to see tomorrow is that it's considered neck betty the 15th of me is the day palestinians commemorate . when hundreds of thousands of palestinians had to leave their homes when the state of israel was created and they became refugees so for palestinians it's a very significant day because many of protesters were telling us here that they feel that the neck but didn't just happen in 1948 but it's still ongoing because there are still seeing people. neighborhood being evicted potentially into it and they are still seeing. illegal israeli settlements being expanded at the expense of palestinian lands so for them they think that the situation on the ground isn't any better off than it was 70 years ago and we might be seeing more and more
8:06 pm
palestinians taking to the streets in the occupied west bank thank you very much. reporting live from ramallah al-jazeera software joins us live from gaza suffer it tell us more if we know more about these targets that have been hit by the israeli military. as you mentioned there's very few intensify there are. there was a recent our by advisory to fighting jets when they fired. rockets on a compound called compound they had the building over the minister of interior in gaza according to the ministry of health they said no casualties there because these are most of the security and police stations have been evacuated from the 1st day of israelis collation on gaza. following this attack a few rockets were fired from gaza into israel it seems that the
8:07 pm
strength of the fire. decides the reaction of the palestinian fighting groups because before the israeli attack there were few rockets fired from gaza short range rockets fired from gaza into southern israel but immediately after the attack which was enough strong and shake gaza city we could see. a longer range rockets immediately were fired from gaza into southern israel. before the last attack the heavy attack on unsought compound. drones they hit some houses in one unit and there to the south of the gaza strip. the minister of state that's 1. 1 killed some other people injured still the same the minister of health also has launching appeals for
8:08 pm
a blood donation because the bank of blood in gaza is running out of blood units because of the huge number of injured people are arriving to the hospitals all over the gaza strip can i just just just to back up a little bit into an earlier conversation that we had you in the team. you guys soon. we assume hammersmith cells you've mentioned it already taking off you saw the contrails as they took off across the border and flew some place into we assume israel so clearly the israeli military campaign is not having the kind of impact that they would want it to have if hamas day 5 going into day 6 are still capable of firing missiles and i guess we can safely assume move missiles or their missile installations around gaza from a safety point of view so they can carry on using them before the israelis work out
8:09 pm
where they are. look after 3 wars on god we heard or we know dr palestinian fighting groups have been developing their means of fighting means we know for example that now with they are using tilly commanded rockets these rockets on with their launchers are somewhere on they fire them not manually but most of them now are fired. on the no need for fighters to go and carry the rockets like they used to do in the past that's why suddenly you have rockets flying from gaza into israel and all these sophisticated technology drones the whole boring gun control dominating duck sky of gaza with all the washing machine also controlling the border of gaza not. able to stop these rockets on these attacks also. the thing that also
8:10 pm
the israelis know and they said that several times they're not that the palestinian fighting groups they have dig tunnels networks of tunnels they call it that are networks underground so they use these tunnels. for fighting purposes and they hide their rockets or their fighting means so the palestinian groups they are developing themselves they are the developing their techniques and they learn from the previous experiences with and during 3 wars in the last 2 years with the israelis so that's why sometimes the israelis they had to place you have civilians. victims because of these attacks maybe they were targeting or they believe they were targeting militants but the other hand we see that most of the casualties which is all was confirmed also by the hospitals in
8:11 pm
gaza most of the casualties are civilians including children and women. ok so many thanks. reporting live from gaza well the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is insisting hamas should quote pay a very heavy price and he's warning the group won't stop carrying out its attacks i am addition to. the senior leaders of hamas believe that they can escape from our armed forces but they cannot we can reach them everywhere we reach all these people and we will continue to do so they attacked us on our holiday in our capital and fired rockets at our cities they have paid and will pay a heavy price for that this is not over yet al-jazeera as harry force it has more now from close to an israeli artillery battery in southern israel we're seeing. strikes on gaza itself that seem determined to inflict
8:12 pm
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 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
8:13 pm
and then launched 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 though a very large round of rocket strikes shortly after that on the city of ashkelon. is our senior political analyst mr netanyahu saying it's not over yet what's his end point. you know i'm not sure if this is part of our psychological warfare at this point in time or this is actually a part of some sort of 3 reckless adventure because if you if we could just fix talk of what happened over the last $34.00 days we would understand that in
8:14 pm
a spot is not the nail is concerned he's already inflict as much pain as he could on gaza you know short of genocide and he's ordered the with all of these sorties over his f. 16 is it not that he fires it's also court certainly have been able to strike a whole bunch of targets we don't even know what some of them are and clearly you know the cult has not said listen if you would right but on the other hand what we have what we have now is still wish and where the palestinians throughout his daughter aside are rising mass has established it's the atrocity against israel. while in the surrounding arab countries we are seeing more and more public opinion heating up against israel even people who want to walk towards the border with israel all of that only a few weeks out that is there and finally was auto gets up and then it and the summer season is hectic so all in all if you look at it you would think that if he
8:15 pm
is smart enough for his own sake. that this is that bad for him to stop and that he's going to be prime minister anyway because probably is or is going to go to form of that election because the opposition forgot this is the time for him to stop to accept some sort of a ceasefire because to go any further he is not going to be able to control the the uprising that is gathering storm in the west bank and in other parts of palestine. would he accept the mediations or the egyptians and the others involved today or would he continue to be bullish and bring their cause about a wrong i'm not sure but i think he's not too stupid to continue and to square himself to box himself in in a never ending war against gaza is it part of him when it comes to his desire to push back against hamas point number one is he fighting hamas or is
8:16 pm
he actually fighting iran kind of going with the idea that you're expressing there are but netanyahu is dream and also given that so many conflicts in this region are soft wired to another location across the border wherever the border happens to be is he actually signaling to iran look i know perfectly well what you're doing so i'm going to take a few pages out of the say ariel sharon playbook of how to defend and keep israel and israeli jews safe. you know. even if we accept that and it's of course that we all know that not to now has been for the last 12 years you know using iran for as a pretext for anything that he wants to do whether in gaza the west bank in lebanon in syria and elsewhere so clearly iran has been used as
8:17 pm
a pretext for him to do whatever he wanted to do but now that the by the administration is continuing the negotiations with their aims and beyond and probably we could have a breakthrough sometime soon i think clearly for him whatever he wanted to do if you want to connect to your own if he actually you know insisted on doing that that's over because there are so many thought that you can hit in gaza. there's so much pain you can inflict on the people of gaza the continual beyond today would simply as i said earlier boxing man as more and more by the seniors and more and more arabs even more and more out of disease not such fied are educated and are unhappy with the ongoing long slow against gaza so i think as this is a storm gathers if he is you know savvy enough he would know when to stop as i said especially what it took to be speaking for him personally i think the danger of the opposition forming a government not throwing him out is is far less today than it was on the eve of
8:18 pm
the of the bombing of gaza so politically speaking strategically speaking i would think it would make sense for him to accept a cease fire it would also make sense for how much that establishes such as an important detour in our lives for us also to accept i think otherwise we are marching towards a tragic open ended war with total consequences both for palestinians israelis and with regional implications ok very briefly because we've got other conversations backing up in the this particular half hour has he also kind of knocked. back the domestic political agenda in one sense because round about now yesterday or today we should have been seeing arab political representation within the coalition government yes we've had arab political representation inside the israeli knesset but not inside a coalition government and that's now not going to happen. that's not going to happen but also benette who are supposed to have started some took on
8:19 pm
a kind of talks with the opposition has backtracked already and he says i want to talk to the now about the next got whether nathaniel would be established another question government or not israel would go for another election hence he would be able to hold on to his seat for out of the 34 months and in the meanwhile he would probably use some more. hysterics and he does have a bag of tricks as we as we you know already noticed all the bad last several years so clearly as i said we're going to be speaking he is in a better position today that you were 7 years ago sort of 7 days ago clearly because you know where the tragic consequences for guys up for the palestinians and for some israelis and strategically speaking i think is that there's an end game here but whether he is smart enough to. realize that they're not of course remains to be seen i you know you would just hope that he is not a suicidal maniac that would want to continue just you know an ongoing war against
8:20 pm
the palestinians with no end in sight mowen thanks very much mama bush out of the senior political analyst. a lebanese protester has been killed on the lebanon israel border it happened when israeli forces fired at a crowd of demonstrators who were trying to cross a security fence in horror as the details on what happened. there's growing anger in lebanon as people watch the scenes coming out of gaza and jerusalem this country hosts say sizable palestinian refugee population but it's not just the palestinians many lebanese feel that the world in action and the world not stopping the israeli attacks against palestinians that they need to do something these young men took it upon themselves in what seems to be a symbolic protest they attempted to cross the border it's still not clear whether they fact across the un recognized blue line or are not they just crossed the technical fence the united nations peacekeeping troops which are deployed in the
8:21 pm
area are looking into whether or not they didn't manage warning shots were fired in the air a young activist groups are calling for more protests along the border tomorrow late last night rockets were fired from southern lebanon on towards israel and the israeli army said that 2 of them fell in the mediterranean lebanese the lebanese army has been arrested a palestinian man and he said that he fired the rockets in retaliation. leaving that report from saying hold a slightly early take you live to the white house spokeswoman we suspect talking about what's going on in israel and gaza. tunisians many who can be influential on hamas so obviously we're watching this closely we will remain closely engaged a lot of conversations we have may happen behind the scenes because that may be the most appropriate way to deescalate the situation on the ground so what you seem to what the president seems of are israel still he believes he's not as if you know over again i think the president believes that israel has
8:22 pm
a right to self-defense obviously just if we take a step back and remove ourselves for a moment which i know it's hard to do from the politics clearly what's happening on the ground the loss of life the loss of children's lives the loss of families family members lives whether it's palestinian lives or israeli lives is incredibly tragic it's horrific to watch that is certainly why our focus is on deescalating what we're what is happening on the ground that's his that's our human reaction to what we're seeing what we're also focused on the president many people on our team have been working on issues in the middle east for decades and we also know that sometimes these conversations see to happen privately in order to have an effective outcome and that's what our focus is on but just a follow up on that point. do you feel that israel is acting with sufficient restraint at this point again as the president conveyed in his statement israel has
8:23 pm
the right to self-defense our focus remains on continuing to use every lever at our disposal to deescalate the situation on the ground i think it's also important to remind people hamas is a terrorist organization hamas does not represent the views the families the people who are suffering all of the palestinian people who are suffering as a result of this violence on but there is no justification for 1500 rockets coming from hamas into israeli community is communities in israel either your participation. well coming elections as you know. mass look i will say that our focus right now is on using our relationships in the region our deep relationships in the region again with the egyptians the tunisians others who have greater influence with hamas then then certainly we do and certainly others in the
8:24 pm
region do to deescalate the circumstances in the situation on the ground that's what our focus is on at this moment in time i had. this new guide is i'm asking me for the president's executive order mandating masts on jen psaki really appearing initially i guess if you're on 1st listening to what she was saying there to flesh out what the u.s. president joe biden was saying this time yesterday perhaps 36 hours ago as well when he said that israel has the right self-defense that was perceived initially when mr biden said that this time yesterday as being a slight misstep on the part of the still relatively new u.s. president it was not a misstep he knew exactly what he was saying of course he did because mr biden. former vice president he once said to paraphrase what he once said he said if israel didn't exist we would have to make it we would have to create a state of israel he said 40 years of being a friend of israel the white house press secretary there calling hamas
8:25 pm
a terrorist organization perhaps worth reminding ourselves that hamas did win the 2006 palestinian legislative election and became the de facto governing orthography in the gaza strip the gaza strip garza of course ground 0 what's going on right now between israel and gaza the press secretary there not being drawn on any potential diplomatic breakthroughs or where that may come from we have heard from and to a new terrorists the u.n. secretary general we've had 2 closed door sessions of the u.n. security council calls for an open door session we've heard calls from today 3 hours ago the french president emanuel macro for a d.s. can. the violence we've also had something similar what 36 hours ago now from boris johnson the british prime minister is anyone listening in israel or in gaza no they absolutely are not not yet so that's the latest from mr biden's white house press secretary people around the world have been demonstrating against the
8:26 pm
israeli attacks. on the 2nd day of the muslim in celebration thousands attending prayers and bangladesh protested in solidarity with the people of gaza the demonstrators led by the islamic political party are calling on the un and the organization of islamic cooperation to hold israel accountable these are the scenes in berlin the german capital where hundreds of protesters rallied to condemn the israeli attacks but the government says it supports israel and has promised to ramp up protection for jewish institutions. live shots again for you coming to us from gaza. we're being told that some more missiles have just been fired we assume from hamas installations on the ground there in gaza.
8:27 pm
at their rooftop location just before the sun finally set for mine 2 minutes 2 hours ago they had seen something similar in daylight hours there in gaza. and what has. been interesting and perhaps significant to people who follow this relationship and the ongoing conflicts between israel and hamas is the potential range and the ferocity of the military equipment that hamas has at its disposal which it is as you as you're seeing right now which it is still in a position. to use less just reracked some of the pictures that we were recording as they were coming in. ringback just a couple of minutes ago so these are the latest pictures they're not live pictures . the.
8:28 pm
the the was the. was the with the 1st pictures telling their own story of course to the land successfully hamas would use the word successfully i'm not using the word successfully of course to the land successfully on their desired target impossible to know although israel's. defense system is very very very good at taking those missiles out of the air. when they're still in the air. so that's good news as far as the israelis are concerned our team on the ground when they were watching these pictures just a little earlier the daylight pictures they were telling us that. because hamas has
8:29 pm
in effect for 3 wars 3 conflicts in the past 3 years how mass is very good very skilled at getting the missiles looking after the missiles prepping the missiles and if needs be moved them from location to location that's significant because just in the past 2 hours we've heard these reports that inside gaza there was a ministry building and also how mass bank was targeted where is the military strategic significance or importance of bombing or destroying. bank these pictures now live where it all kicked off of course 5 days ago there are areas up and garza up and down israel where it has been quite
8:30 pm
a combustible situation we've seen one palestinian injured here that's one report that we're getting now just in the past half hour perhaps the past 60 minutes or so generally what happens in these low level areas of violence is that the violence dies down as the day comes to a close we'll update the headlines for you right now. let's recap all the main developments a wave of protests against the israeli occupation have swept across the occupied west bank they're being confrontations between protesters and israeli police and at least 200 different places from hebron and bethlehem to now bruce and ramallah the police have fired volleys of tear gas and there are reports of live ammunition being used as well at least 10.
