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 is 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 were just there, good each other. they're grown up now they're teenagers, but like they were looking at me no way. thank. so what'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 the children here, there are the ones that bear the brunt of these wars because as a mother, like for example, my children and other children here have witnessed for major wars on gaza strip and other escalations on and off it's relations. and during every war, it's always,

it's always the same, you know, we're, we, we're trying to find safety. they ask questions and trying to find as a mother trying to find answers to their questions and, and you feel so helpless of the 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 going to 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 due to, to trauma for us and our kids. and i think this is something that many people ignore. they just talk about casualties and people being killed. 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 play because it's not going to be good for, for me, for my kids, for anybody in place. and he's really oppression is still ongoing with overnight raids, seen across gaza. you know, i had is foreign developments. so until now we're still witnessing israeli raids on different areas of because a strip, the latest of which was a targeting of a home in jubilee that's in the north, in gaza strip. and i, i local sources say that 6 people where injured from that targeting, the ministry of health has not yet updated the number of injuries, or are people killed in these targets. it has been left until 10 people killed, including a 5 year old child. and over 75 have been injured in different areas. the rates are very much tense in the south,

in gaza strip as well in high newness and rough off how those 2 govern. net with witness to lots of raids, violent trades lately. ah, in addition to the last raid, which was on the home in wor, townhome, and is in about his jerusalem and has more on international reaction to the attacks who israel continues with, with what it calls this operation. and on the other side, islamic jihad continues to rockets into israel. these really military says that now there's 120 rockets been launched into the country so far, we're not him. of any reports of injuries. on the israeli side, a lot of those rockets being stopped by the iron dough, which is the israeli system against rockets to stop them even in the air. and those that have landed seem to have done so in areas where they haven't been able

to, to hurt anyone. say something else is going on. it's quite movie account that we were hearing from someone living in gaza. in the macro level. there are other countries weighing in on this and other organizations. united states is one of the earliest a tweet from the ambassador's israel, saying that the united states firmly believes the israel has a right to protect itself. we're engaging with different sides for come. so that was seen as quite firmly citing with the, with the israel in the jordanian foreign minister, the country always li, just to the east took a different tone calling for an end to the condemned israeli aggression against the gaza strip. and the un also the special coordinator for the middle east peace process. also waited and said that he was deeply concerned. egypt who various media is saying that there is a delegation from egypt that has come or is coming to israel to try and to try

mediate between the israeli government and islamic jihad and try and stop this before escalates. still further. let's go to jordan live in washington, d. c. and tell us about the white house in response to this. the bind administration's response is pretty much what you would expect. it is as standing by israel's right to defend itself from attacks, from aggressors. but it also has been calling on all sides to exercise restraint to exercise calm, to stop the violence, to avoid escalations. and we have heard not just from the national security council spokesperson john kirby, but also from the u. s. ambassador to israel tom knights, that they are reaching out to us all interested parties, although we would presume that they are not talking to anyone from islamic jihad or

from hamas, which is in control of the gaza strip. because the u. s. considers those organizations to be terrorists groups, but this is a situation that does concern the biden administration. they don't believe that the time is right to start new piece talks. but they had been trying to encourage both the israelis and the palestinians to basically take god trust building steps in order to maintain calm and to build confidence in order to get to an eventual negotiation for 2 states existing side by side. and it does come up and no, no, no, no, no, for the long time after a visit from biden to, to the region, tennessee. what that achieved, and whether there was any kind of dialogue about to the future of the region. well the topic did come up during us president joe biden's visit to israel and to the occupied west bank. but he made it very plain that even though he wants to see

a separate independent palestinian state, he said that he had to be pragmatic. and he recognized that because of political changes and, and in the past few years that neither the israelis nor the palestinians were in a place to realistically, incredibly negotiate with each other. and so he stressed during his recent visit that the goal was to try to improve ties, particularly economic ties, as well as a do some low level confidence building measures between the 2 parties in order to one day get back to full peace negotiations a. but certainly to have that happen, not long after jo biden's visit to the region owed simply shows just how difficult it's going to be to get to eventual piece talks version. jordan, thank you very much. indeed. within hours of the attacks, the un special coordinator for the middle east versus quotient besides christians,

new me sent this update from the un headquarters in new york. there can be no justification for attacks on civilians. those are the words of middle east coordinator toward venice land in response to the recent attacks in gaza. he noted that a 5 year old child is among the dead and express concern that this escalation between palestinian militants and israel. and what he described as the target in killing of the palestinian islamic jihad leader could further exacerbate tensions in the region intentions, which have been growing and brewing not only in gaza, but also across the west bank. and of course, it's the united nations that gets called in to pick up the pieces after conflicts like this in the occupied territories. and he express concerned that civilians will ultimately be the ones who pay the worst price at a time when international support and international funding to help in situations

like this is stretched very thin. so a word of caution from the middle east coordinator words released on twitter and in statements to the media, calling on both sides to tone down their response and protect civilians still to come on out a 0 supporters of iraq's and she, i need it. whatever asada hold friday, pres, across iraq, the week off to bring the country's status fusions to a standstill. and weeks after the election of philippines, president ferdinand macos junior, to very different films released about his infamous father. ah, it's the weekend, here's your forecast and we're going to pick this one up in se asia. hi everyone.
