through the night and into wednesday at this stage at least 222 palestinians have been killed since the offensive against hamas and other groups began a week ago. so choose day yesterday that was the palestinian day of rage today wednesday is a day of mourning you know perceptions of began in ramallah for 2 of the 4 people killed in the occupied west bank on tuesday it was after the 1st palestinian general strike in decades ended in violence and bloodshed more than 160 others were injured as well as 2 israeli soldiers of course want to carry forth that was in bethlehem as it all unfolded here is his reports. this is a well known road at one end palestinian protesters driven by years of occupation what 2 recent human rights reports have defined as a party and good and sustained by events in jerusalem in gaza at the other implacable militarized position of the israeli forces blocking the way and more.
12:03 pm
this is how this day would play out huge shows of force pushing back the crowd then young men in small groups gradually approaching within tens of meters of israeli fortifications peppering them with rocks and glass marbles. the israeli tactics varying from attempting to russian detain them to overwhelming them with tear gas and foul smelling water to considerably worse so israeli forces are strengthening their position after those stone throwers got pretty close to the checkpoint here and as you can see on the road just in front of us a sniper team has taken a position later as we reported live there was no russian no show of force simply sniper fire from a protected position on unarmed protesters one man fell injured in front of us and was taken out by ambulance one among many here among dozens across the occupied
12:04 pm
west bank. near the illegal settlement of a dell close to ramallah the gunfire was at one point going both ways this is a rare shooting attack on an israeli military position during a confrontation a sign of the seriousness of the. current upsurge in violence i think. it is just on the spot because we are living under this pressure of living under this discrimination in. place of. that's that's the. this equation this has been declared a national strike and a day of rage observed to an occupied east jerusalem confrontations breaking out of damascus gate was there. and it shifts where a long simmering protest against forced expulsions of palestinians has in part fueled this wider violence in the southern occupied west bank city of hebron a palestinian was shot dead by israeli forces who said he was carrying a knife
12:05 pm
a homemade gun and an explosive device. a brutal day to add to the tally of the last week or it will sit bethlehem in the occupied west bank. in occupied east jerusalem gaza 1st of all it is a sign of a bizarre mcharg sort of situation of warfare that we say that we're actually waiting with live cameras to watch a building get hit. yeah absolutely i mean while we're waiting with our cameras to watch that hit imagine all of those families who had to evacuate and who are also waiting to hear what's going to happen to what they called home with ever be able to return what are they going to tell their children how are they going to live in the coming weeks and months and where are they going to live it is a very very sad situation very stressful for do people who are living in gaza and
12:06 pm
we have seen that unfolding similar scenario is ever since this last you know this war has started about 10 days ago now gazans seeing really the entire lives their memories of everything go into ashes israel saying is targeting have mass ass's have mass offices have buildings sometimes without providing any conclusive proof of that and many gazans asking well in that case why aren't you doing pinpointing strikes israel is very good at that it has done that in the previous wars why demolishing an entire building and making innocent civilians into homeless people just to target maybe one flat stored there isn't it. clearly no sign of a cease fire anywhere at the moment but you were saying to us earlier that there is at least 20. there's
12:07 pm
a lot of talk about the ceasefire especially in the israeli media there's also a lot of reports going around saying that that ceasefire would come. at 6 am local time that would be for g.m.t. yeah. but there is no confirmation about that so far actually what we hear publicly from both sides is that this operation will continue the military operations will continue in israel say that it will continue until it is satisfied that it had weakened enough how must have us say that is over asians will continue also and there is no talk about a truce from for its part. something in return you know there's been this is not the 1st war over the last 10 years and maybe the 4th war and. how much hasn't got anything so far out of it just periods of followed by
12:08 pm
a war but life in gaza has not improved actually according to you and it has gotten worse and worse the blockade has been going on for more than a decade now 15 years rather so i think it's trying to get something in return that said this by at all what they're saying publicly there is international pressure to bring an end to the hostilities and also you have to put in the equation prime minister netanyahu and self years in battle politically you hasn't been able to form a coalition government he hasn't been able to get an outright victory for election general elections over the past 2 years but at the moment he is gaining popularity make no mistake the military operation in gaza is supported by a good chunk of the israeli public specially those living in the south of the country who say that this should continue as long as. because they want to see.
12:09 pm
basically have mass completely destroyed and this is something that maybe israel doesn't want in itself and doesn't want to have domestic us inside gaza so there's a lot of posturing going on and a lot of domestic politics also going on and this is an indication that if prime minister that i know does this correctly he could actually gave that support that he was missing to form a coalition government whenever he gets that mandate back how to deal with the latest news and the context for us as well from occupied east jerusalem thank you we'll return to the israeli palestinian conflict later in this bulletin but some other news 1st of all a muslim organizations in india demanding a judicial inquiry into the demolition of a mosque in the state of water pradesh the 100 year old building in the town of about a bank he was brought down on monday district officials in that b. j.p. ruled states say the structure was illegal there is

12:11 pm
stand in abeyance till the 31st of many surprisingly strangely the government moved and demolished the mosque it's just mosque is within is just 10 storms tore from from the from the provincial capital of luck no it's an bought a bank a district not much was heard of this it appears the government now says that it there was some residential units that were buried along but along with the mosque focus there was more no provision there was no permission but that notwithstanding got the high court order to give in a direction so therefore it is very very strange and this is being viewed with a great deal of suspicion migrants are continuing to travel from morocco to a spanish enclave in north africa despite poor conditions there around 8000 people have crossed into the region of say that either by sea or by walking around the coast dozens of also reached many of spain's other enclave in north africa the
