blue safe mm hm. and then international intake corpse im excellence award. bought now for your hero on russell beard in southern england, where 2 farmers turn safari park pioneers, a bits the tractors and put nature in the driving seat. i was just absolutely astonishing the life that poured back even the very 1st summer. and i'm again sophia, cynthia taylor, when one by you mirroring companies revolutionizing. what's the thing you think once an artificial intelligence? here inside, you have science, you have the knology, both fries pano jazeera, we know what's happening in our region, we know how to get to play, that others and not as far as i said, i'm going on the way that you tell the story isn't what can make a difference. ah,

you're watching out 0 live from london, our top story tonight. the situation in garza where there is com for now. but in the last, our rockets were fired into israel in response to an is really operation in garza one which is claimed the lives of 10 people. as i make to hard says it's fired. $100.00 rockets in total aimed at is really cities including tel aviv, israel's, on don't miss our system has been deployed to and to set them air raid sirens have been heard in southern and central israel or far as an israeli operation. earlier in the day, at least 10 people, including a 5 year old girl, were killed and dozens more injured when he's really airstrikes targeted these, i mean, he had group. a commander was killed in one of the strikes you know, as i had joined us at live from gaza. brewster the very latest from their

yes. so until now we're still witnessing rockets there are coming out, being launched from the gaza strip towards the eas, really, towns and cities ah, sigh wreathed, are being heard in israel, the cities in that south there and, and a central florida, including tel aviv, ah, strong is really raids also are still happening in because it's stripping different areas. ah, so basically there is a fire in the retaliation of fire that has been going on since the starting of the launching of rockets which was on air which is like started in the 9 p. m locally, which is 80 g. this was the 1st respond by these are a by the palestinian a fighting groups here islamic jihad has claimed responsibility for the rockets that are being launched from the gods district. until now, despite

a hearing different statements from a lot of the officials is live in. could you had her mas set even a palestinian no committee? or the factions committee here from the joint champ, you're saying that there is going to be a consensus or reaction from all the policy of factions towards there is really aggression on because the strip and, and retaliation off the assassination of islamic jihad leader earlier today. and tell me a bit more about islamic jihad, where do they fit into the, the, the situation they're in garzon and the, the on groups well, islamic jihad is known to be the 2nd or the 2nd strongest, a group here in because this city, of course, the 1st is the, the him as a witches ah, the power that is in power in gaza strip. it's

a military wing is a some brigades and then we have is live in jihad, which is the 2nd a political, a, a group here in gaza. and it's a military wing, it said i have quits brigades. and so at these 2 are, since they are the, are that at the top or the prominent a leaders here error are groups here in gaza and the do support each other. and as we know in many of the escalations before that have happened hearing because the strip whenever it is a mass or hamas target, terry, the ones that are being ah, targeted by israel, we've always found is like jihad backing up hamas. and so this is how the equation really happened. despite that this leader is an islamic jihad leader that was assassinated. but how much remains to have to back islamic jihad. so even if it

does not launch rockets on its own, it has allowed islamic jihad to do so. and israel has made it clear so many times saying that if, since how much is a b a dot, the power in gaza or the ruling power in gaza than it must be held responsible for any attacks that do come out of gaza, including what comes out from islamic jihad tell us about the response in terms of ordinary palestinians, what can they do when these are arrayed start of is there any way they can go that say for what, what does it want to people generally do. so basically the gaza strip does not have any shelter is it does not have any under, under ground shelters or error, anything else that people can shelter in during times of escalations or even war. so basically they do stay in their homes. they could be in so many times,

and we've seen this in many, many escalations not just, ah, wars like the previous last year is war in may, where 260 policy can used were killed and thousands were injured. they're usually subjected to many injuries. they're subjected to 2 falling a 2 to falling dead to being killed in these air strikes. and this is exactly what has happened to day. so intent people have been killed in these really air strikes including children, a 5 year old child a her 6 year old brother is in critical condition. her father was injured also. 5 of women, normal civilians, really? so yes, there was one assassination up these lamps. you had a leader, but the rest where normal civilians and this is, this is usually the casualty. that happens from every escalation, from every war,

their residence, the citizens, the civilians, are the ones who do pay the 1st happy price. and does a little bit about the areas that have been targeted geographically. what, what does, what do they tell us? yes, so basically the 1st time getting started with the targeting of, of palestine tower, which is a residential tower. it's in a very populated residential neighborhood. just in the center of garza city on the apartment, that was a targeted in that a tower was in the 7th floor and many other civilians were injured from vac targeting itself. so the rates to day started without targeting and then several other areas and military posts for islamic jihad where targeted a long because the strip. so yes, the gaza strip is,

is an area of only 365 kilometers. i it more than 202000000 a 2200000 people live in this very small, densely populated area. and, and that's why usually when there is a targeting of any military post of any agriculture land, there is always a damage. there's old, there are always casualties because of how much densely populated the gaza strip is . you know, so when we see a targeting, even if it's on a military post every, anywhere in the gaza strip, they're always civilians that are being harmed through that targeting. you know, as i a thank you very much indeed to have her time being a putting live there from gauze of hers, marana chavez, and author, an activist who lives in the neighbourhood where these really as trunks happened. she spent 2 hours here about what she experienced. i heard about 45 loud bangs of

the sleep, but i'll just tell myself licking up running, wondering what happened and it took a few minutes for me to follow up on the news because we didn't know whether it was rockets or shelling and there was panic in the area of people running, you can imagine this very large apartment building, which is about 13 floors and each floor consist of at least 5 apartments. and you can imagine the amount of horror that this caused to all the people living in the building. there were children playing because you know, it's a friday, the weekends and fridays are usually peaceful of families get together. children play play outside. so this was really something that was totally unpredictable for and to be honest. as a mother, as the ordinary citizen here, you just, you know, think of what happened before. i mean, when it happened today, like my kids were staring at me and we'll just get each other. they're grown up now

they're teenagers, but like they were looking at me in a way think so it's happening again. we know what's going to happen. we know the whole scenario of you know, running from one place to another, not finding safety. i think children here, there are the ones that they're the brunt of these wars because as a mother, like for example, my children and other children here have 4 major wars on gaza strip and other escalations on and off escalations. and during every war, it's always, it's always the same, you know, we're, we were trying to find safety. they ask questions and he trying to fight as a mother trying to find answers to their questions and, and you feel so helpless other parents because you don't have any answers to their questions. so it's like the whole scenario keeps running through our heads and like so we don't what's gonna happen if this into all our cale war. it's going to be

like the other words, if not worse. and there's going to be trauma to, to trauma for us on our kids. and i think this is something that many people ignore . they just talk about casualties and people being pill. but the ones who survive, they also suffer because because it's not something they can easily forget or you can just, you know, wake up the next day of percent. nothing happening then go back to your ordinary life. so it's, i hope it doesn't place because it's not going to be good for, for me, for my kids, for anybody in place when he's ready for me to say i love aids, has israel will do whatever it takes to defend itself. israel carried out the precise counter terror peroration against an immediate threat. our fight is not, was the people of gaza islamic jihad is in the arabian proxy. that wants to destroy

the state of israel and kill innocent israelis. the head of islamic jihad is in an ether haron. as we speak, we will do whatever it takes to defend our people. what has torn out there, it supports israel's right to self defense, and we call on all parties to avoid escalation. as good to mike hanner in washington dc, so support their from the white house not not unexpected. i suppose no, not unexpected. that's a rather short and varied turn statement. her fairly typical of administration response to this type of conflict breaking out in the region. we support israel's right to self defense, that is something that the said ministration and previous ones have reiterated every single time and the call on all parties to avoid escalation. once again, a common thread that we hear in the responses from the us to yet another israeli

attack on a garza itself. now looking at that attack and some of the wider context to a term, it's a year ago that the last major conflict erupted in garza. and that lasted for some 12 days. but what's been happening in a recent hours is reminding one very much of the 50 day war back in 2014. when israel actually physically entered and occupied garza with a heavy weaponry with troops. because what we're seeing now, a call up of the national reserve, a deployment of israeli combat battalions to various parts of the garza border and very importantly, an election coming up in a few months time. all of these factors coming together to cause some outside observers to have deep concern about the possibility of a land invasion by israel into garza here, just to pick up on that. and mike lee, you housing significant is the timing in terms of what his role is doing with those

politics that you mentioned in the election upcoming. yes, indeed. all of these factors come into play now, but there's, there's another element that is happening here as well. is the division among palestinians, the division between hamas, which is an effective control of garza and the palestinian authority. now her mother has said repeatedly that the palestinian authority is weak in terms of dealing with what it calls israeli provocation. now this lack of unity is a major problem when you have crises like these ruptured because you basically have a palestinian society that is split. on one hand, you been talking about the mediation efforts are going on in israel, which now appear to be slowing down or not happening at all. in those mediation efforts, you have representatives of the palestinian authority as well as representatives from a garza perhaps. so you do have a situation where there is no united front in terms of controlling the situation,

or indeed in terms of combating israel when such attacks are happening. so there's a series of problems here that intensify the situation at that remove the possibility of an immediate de escalation. but above all, you have that confluence of events at the election coming up later this year. the politicians wanting to show strength in the face of what they say is palestinian publication. and you have the palestinians responding to what they see as israeli aggression. but on a very divided basis, all of these problems make the situation even more dia, my cannot thank you very much. indeed. townhome and net joined. his lie from the occupied east, jerusalem. and john turns a bit about the what being said about that kind of targets that have been in the site. so these varies

will the israelis have said about those targets? would they be weapons, storage places and rocket storage paces. it said also that it hit one rocket launcher. and the really government has said that this the, the, the tax, the operation as it call that against because of the recall breaking dawn was primarily about stopping a threat to israeli forces into is rady civilians. so that's a justification on the right side. for these guys, we're actually hearing reports right now of more rockets that coming across from the gaza side towards israel. now, there's been more than 80 rockets reported by is ready media. they've come across into israel and i think something that mike was referring to that was about the scale of the damage that was able to be caused by one side or the other. those 80 rockets when we were a little bit earlier in the evening and it was 70 rocky. there weren't any reports

of any injuries on the israeli. so most of those rockets appear to have been stopped by the israeli. i am probably here in the background here in series and we just hearing so i was in the background of our lives show. i was saying that out of the rockets that we've been hearing about from deciding garza haven't been any injuries on the israeli. so i've reported so far, a lot of them had been stopped by the i don't, which is the israeli and t rocket system. and those that have landed reportedly of landed in places where they haven't hit people. now on the other side, the rate the strikes obviously did kill not just people. the perhaps were connected to islamic jihad, but also civilians. but both sides here on red alert israeli forces, as mike was saying, the defense minister here is called up $25000.00 reservists or at least given the

order that they're allowed, be called up and they're heading some of those to the southern command. other battalions have been sent to the south of israel, so it's really 10 situation here as we see what happens between these 2 sides. and also the important question, if a mass is going to join in this and what that will mean to the escalation. one more thing that i should mention to you as well, which is vitally important, is that we just hearing the news that on tomorrow. demonstrations being planned in cities in israel with a big palestinian population heifer being one of those again, these attacks of gaza. and that's important because last year may as well as the attacks that came from outside of israel borders. what was worrying i think, to israeli forces and what was talked about also was that there was also fighting within the borders of israel. there was also violence there within the buddhist

phase row. and that was a situation where we people, civilians are worried, is radia officials at that moment. so that's a situation that will be keeping a close eye on here. you mentioned the fear of escalation on, on both sides. what kind of effort saw the still this stage it to mediate away out of this what we hearing is the egypt is still trying to mediate and cooling for mediation between these 2 sides in egypt was actually taking that role in the run up to this in the 3 or 4 days before israel new story strikes into gaza. what we heard was those talks didn't, didn't bear fruit mediation between the 2. so i didn't bear fruit, and the result that you saw was israel attacking. we've been speaking obviously to people here on the israeli side, i spoke a little bit earlier to a former speaker from the connect it which is the israeli parliament. he said that

he felt that this would be took both sides sort of showing what they got improving . i'm proving what they were about and then after that, than egypt. so someone else would mediate. and that would be the answer. very optimistic look there. but there are, of course, of it takes on how this could go. if it does, if it does escalate and if more sides move factions begin to get involved here. come home and thank you very much indeed. our senior political analyst. no one bizarre is a lie for us in paris, one just to pick up on on that last point what, what scale of conflict? do you think we're heading for here given what we've seen so far? what we know thus far, lauren, is that neither side and i've been hamas, and the government are interested,

the not wide open for rooms war clearly lost last year. both sides were bruised by the continued conflict. and unlike in 2014, 2021, when they were 7 years between the 2 wars. now we only have one year since the last war. and i think most sites do not one mrs saturday to see after long conflict . having said that, i think the way israel has managed its aggression against the occupied because its trip today shows us that it went from an operation. i targeted kenning into a full scale military campaign within hours. and so is there any, is there anything? and that makes me wonder whether it is and israeli government decision or israeli

defense minister ben guns was basically implicated in all the previous wars on garza, the state. and wars on guys either as a chief of staff of the army or as defense minister is once again, it is once again christian anything for conflict against cancer because he and shuttle course has also political ambitions. and he has a strength and military doctrine in mind. that says that you need to keep meeting. punishing defense thing is the getting. the funny thing is pre empting that kind of spins repressing the palestinian until surrender. which of course needs me to the oldest of all wisdoms about repeating the same over again. again, expecting different results, it's an i thought madness what's going on. so these are the pharmacy feed has

circled is, haven't you had an iranian proxy? how much is this operation in what they would call? not rationing garza, in some ways a shot across the rounds bows. of course, israel has always come someone that backs somebody brought us back, right. i mean, i'm a fact, gosh, the lower the whole terrorist because they were supported by this and that she didn't have us became the fetters because it was supported by this and that regime jazz and it continues on and on. clearly some of those about a student sections do get, tell one to get how they live under occupation, and they are resistance movements and with a number of other countries basically be complicit with israel's. they will seek and get help for whatever they can get it. but that has been played off by as justification for any sort of attack started killing a blockade on so on,

so forth on defense opinions under such regional 3 facts. i don't think that really works any more simply because everyone understands. as you pointed your question earlier to our corresponding jurors and what about diplomacy? of course, we know that israel has blocked the way towards a diplomatic solution. it even refused to listen to the american president when he advocated some sort of a diplomatic solution towards a 2 state solution. and hence he best you could give up on it. and, and, and basically said, there is no diplomatic horizon for this conflict which really puts to practicing in a very difficult position. after 50 years of occupation. they cannot continue with the same israeli aggression closure spanish, me and starvation, and so on, so forth. they must pack and i think now they basically got

a things done as regression. yes, there are 2 sides to this. but these are not just simply 2 sides as him to saw going to entities. this is a resistance movements, whether we like or not. on the occupation, i'm going to some of you by our one of the most formidable powers in the region, if not the most formidable nuclear power in the region. it's basically been added for decades now. and it seems to be adamant and continuing that on the different pretext, whether it's the wrong, syria, egypt, pan, out of nationalism, mac, nationalism, and so on, so forth. but be that there's may, there's a name for it, and that is colonial occupation, which really must tend becker through diplomatic initiative negotiations than any other means. no matter in terms of a, of an international response. how different is it?

now, as you mentioned, a number of countries are much closer to israel now than they were say several years ago when previous attacks on gaza happened. how different does that make the dynamic the stage? it's basically the government's i've left the for the seniors on their own to suffer early occupation, even those who sympathize with the but as soon as i'm able to do much about them and we're not really active, we don't see out of the convening or anything of that nature, i'm clearly the arabs 3 meaning the public opinion and always falls over the last weeks and months and years. or should i start over 90 percent of the public opinion remains fully behind the for the senior resistance of occupation. so it's really basically those and democratic regimes under medicine pressure, that's a fees are 0 that are complicit with those that are bending alliances with israel

knowing culture. well, not just is there a period that there's an israeli occupation, an eagle one that continues unabated against finance? so yes, israel sean's been bolden empowered by the united states. and clearly emboldened by other countries that are complicit it's occupational side and with the world or international public opinion. certainly the western one being focus on new crane. i think the fellowship israelis feels that they have a free hand. the west supports ukrainian rights to resist russian invasion, but there are silence basically about israel's occupation and aggression against the cities. and when we heard earlier from one resident using gaza about the, the trauma that she survived is not, it's not just about the people who are killed in these situations. but it's also those who,

after live with what they seen given that situation on the ground of the children who are affected and so on. where, where do you see any kind of international response? i mean, you, you've talked about the, the absence of response from certain areas what, what, what can we expect for this? we now have the testimony of some of the most credible international human rights organizations, including and israeli one or 2 organization and human rights branch. all of them are sticking about this, this pickable apart a regime from the jordan river to the sea, which gotcha. there were span jerusalem even dependencies within his route, and yet the international committee is not doing much about it. it took international, of course, a long time, not the west to do something about a party to south africa. it's not doing anything even remotely close to that. again, it's a, it's a pure patient. it's something that's in palestine. so it does really go on

a basis for the distinctions. it means some real scoring children, the new generation of youth that are ready simply to take up their position and resistance against israel. but in the overall, i think the 1st thing in society of the guys and guys had just to remind our viewers around the world. it's over 2000000 people, mostly refugees, from historic, from israel proper today. living under some of the worst possible circumstances. some of them starving course and most of the day snore because you know, services know health care and in a big person unable to move beyond it into, into a world, into even their own testing and hinterland and started palestine. so a real serious closure breelle punishment. that's going on a case for the past 16 years, but clearly 50 years of occupation serving years. so this was session. so we're

talking about generation after generation, after generation of living this sort of a hotter what these really seem to be in denial over at all, reckoning that if they can, a number of senior leaders that this would be resolved. but we all know, we all know are now at least in the heart of hearts that without ending the israeli occupation without, i'm doing the regime of racial separation of repression, that the feller stimuli this tragedy will not end mile. and michelle, thank you very much indeed. was we've been reporting that rockets have been fired from gaza towards israel following, and israeli operation targeting the is, i meant you had group done the me. huh. is a writer and teacher who lives in gaza. she's lost electricity and says she's worried about further violence.
