ready this is al jazeera ah, you're watching the news, our life from a headquarters, and so ha, i'm getting obligated coming up in the next. 60 minutes is really warplanes strike garza for a 2nd day 15 people had been killed so far and dozens wounded. the is really military broadens its operation to the occupied west bank. they say they've arrested at least 19 members of the palestinian group islamic jihad. taiwan accuses china of using its latest military drills to simulate an attack on the islands high canyons to main presidential candidates hold their final rallies, the head of a vote seen as the most hopefully contested in recent history and closing radio

had been killed along with a commander of the group. pulling up in the left analysis, illegal york is, is riley aggression and attacks focused on residential areas. this leads to more injuries among civilians. some of them are extremely critical injuries. as a result of the continued seat of garza buys railey forces, which now runs to 15 years, we have a 40 percent shortage in basic medical supplies. for palestinian fighters have lost the barrels of rockets towards israel, but how much has stayed on the sidelines so far as really forces say they've arrested 1900 members of the islamic jihad in the occupied west bank troops rated sites in the city of jeanine. and south of, from a low, you know, say yes reports from guys. i just, the warning viewers may find some images in human as reports distressing. the darkness for kansas city flashed bright by explosions as israeli artillery and

other weapons targeted, what they said were weapons factories. a rocket launch sites belonging to islamic jihad, the moments before an aerial duel, as magical rockets were fired from casa towards israel, with most, intercepted by these rarely ironed, dome anti message system is lamp. she had said they fired more than $100.00 rocket . and player she could look quite a bit in the televised address. they usually prime minister. yeah. your la pete said his country had 0 tolerance for attacks from gaza, but that israel had no interest in a wider battle. earlier the year's really defense ministry had approved the call up of as many as $25000.00 army reservists and read it combat battalions sparking fears that in each really ground invasion was eminent. the day light attacks were

spread throughout god's the city. one main target was this apartment building where a senior commander from islamic g had to see a job that he was killed is really army cities showed what the said was suspected rocket launch side him hon eunice. 6 among the dozens of injured and dead, the body of the 5 year old girl was carried throughout this tree. what is this child's fault? she was dreaming of going to kindergarten and asked her father for a school bag and clothes. what has she done wrong? this innocent child, yeah. other funeral procession where he squirted by running crowds fearful of the next attack. longer sir resident described what she heard,

and so i heard about $45.00, loud bangs of the sleep and was just clicking a running, wondering what happened. and people in the, in the building they just run down to the street, you know, because they fear that there are going to be other apartments targeted on slimy, she had said israel had made a declaration of war, a promise to flight back. learn how to this is a declaration of all out war against the palestinian people. we will respond to that. this is a violation and disregard for all the efforts that have been made over the past days in order to restore him comp. positively, with these efforts that the enemy was as usual treacherous. these rarely action followed the closure of 2 porter crossings with because the streets earlier in the week and the arrest a senior islamic she had members in the occupied west bank and the office of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas called fridays attack

a dangerous escalation. the un cushioned against further civilian casualties, while egyptian mediators are trying to diffuse the tension between both sides. but this is calisha and it's something that we have seen time and time again. hearing garza and the heaviest price is always paid by the people. you may see al jazeera got this city. tom homan has more from vic injunction on the israel gaza border. so far at the moment. oh, with a more than a $160.00 rockets and 5 from gaza towards israel. or what is the israeli military is saying, is that very few of those have hit any points are of importance that the ones that haven't been deflected and stop by and don't, which is, is riley's ante rocket system have landed instead. even within garza or in the populated areas. so there's no serious injuries reported so far by those rockets

in garza where they obviously don't have those same systems and where it's being em hit haul by the israeli strikes. so the latest on this side is, israeli media is reporting that the defense minister at benny gans, is it saying that this will continue, that they're not the point of stopping yet? these re be line on this? is that they're going off the islamic jihad at targets. within garza, they're also looking to hit at things like weapon storage. i'm rocket launches, they say that they just here and gone after a rocket launcher at. and that's what's been happening throughout the night. so saying that they're not letting islamic jihad set the agenda here. so what do we know about the palestinian group that islamic jihad, that was founded in the early eighty's by palestinian students in egypt who were inspired by the muslim brotherhood and later influenced by iran, the slimy revolution. the group's aim is to liberate palestine and form a state within the pre 1940 borders islamic jihad doesn't take part in the

palestinian political process and has opposed peace agreements like the oslo accords. it concentrates on armed resistance against israel, with its military wing, the and puts brigades, its active and gaza, as well as in the occupied westbank. the group has its headquarters in syria and reportedly received funds from iran. it is designated as a terrorist grew by the u. s e u israel, as well as the united kingdom. let's talk about this with him. if he's an associate professor of conflict resolution at the doha institute. he's joining us from the how good to have you with us. thanks for your time on al jazeera so well is really is are saying that they are targeting islamic jihad despite we've seen the pictures, they've hit residential building. they've also killed a 5 year old child. but why would slattich g hired to be the target? yeah, well as long as you had as no one to oppose the peace process that he go,

she ation approach with as an autumn to struggle against the cube ation. like how miles limited you had is a close ally, a very close a lie, i would say with iran you can say a proxy, a bit on in the region. if, if you well received funding from it on millet, i'm on the group and i'd be in that of the, that it is that unlike house who and while out in god's that the sponsible for that as anybody of services or the people. so it's learning you had because i think it's linked to it and we are seeing one of the goals that israel is launching the attack. and i cannot as a regional analyst to but i had this problem that nuclear,

the boy she ations. but happening in the via ma, that is william is opposing strongly. why the united states on the, on the go she, i think i might be reaching an agreement on the nuclear budget. so here this is, i understand the message that my gains, this part of getting one of the proxies in the region that islamic jihad in palestine. and if you allow me one last point on this is that this fits with then the over all israel strategy against iran, which is built on targeting, attacking iran install, gets in that region that we have see in dozens of these attacks against iranian targets in syria. iraq and it could be this time in palestine where as well believes that she had the most of it on and that the time has come is to hit

one of the allies and that he's right. so the secretary general slamming, has the honda has said that the cook brigades, which is of course the military wing of the group will band together with other palestinian resistance factions in god's up publicly one would expect such a statement from him behind closed doors, how united do you think the factions are right now in gaza and what are had masses calculations by staying out if it's so far, there is no doubt that the factions, the political factions, they. 2 strongly united, fully united this is at least what came in the very initial of statement by all response to the israeli attack on gaza. however, i think that for the time being there is a strategy of that listing is jazz to respond to as well as we have seen this in

that missiles that let me jad files back up as well as that is it sounds it seems like that is is watching very carefully and providing all the support that you had needs but not officially getting involved at the moment. because i think this is though some people might see it as a weakness. that that is what it is getting. what it is that back in one group while how much are sitting and watching? i think this also could be read as is that one power when powerful aspect of the whole strategy of that of the political factions in god's that why and how much, you know, on the site, not officially getting get involved. this would be something that the part is the political fraction, but can you and that can,

is a big it's calculations. right? it's also gives room for regional regional. maybe it says that the talk i've been try to prevent this expansion from how much officially engaging but the logistics and all other supports migrating all the situation. that's all political fractions and gotten how would you gauge the, the, the presence as well as the support that islamic jihad has not only and gaza, but in fact, in the west bank because just early this morning. in fact, we saw israel round up an arrest at least 19 members of islam of jihad in 1900 activists. rather if islamic jihad in areas of the occupied west bank. well, let me, yeah, there's not a big group that politically grew up in the palace find the way that gets all the whiskey by it could be that that you all started in jeanine and that was bank when

as well as the one of the lemons you had need the engineer before all this is thought now, no, it is a small, small group, but jazz is very efficient. all you all get that is that is don't order if you will, within the throne. when we have seen, despite its small tri, has participated in all the confrontation, but military confrontations with as well. it has capabilities the launch missiles, again as well as in the which bank it has the presence this. and hopefully i would say probably similar to garza, but again, it's not about the product, it's about power efficiency and the ability to engage militantly when in a confrontation with israel. and for that reason i think is what is

a trying, as you said, is trying to address its leaders in the back and to couldn't been any action that is let them jad light escalade because this is the area that's deletion. that where we, where we have a huge potential for a lot of jet as one part of the house as well as that could this, this could reach the whist bags. we have seen in particular engineering duty and where is that we've had in the past for quite one was responsible for launching and all that back inside there's all right and also and also is attack engineer and i've tried to made the number of its members engineers so the war, denise, what i call and which is also an article that i'm writing now has been happening for the past 5 years. 5 months, i'm sorry, bob engineers between different fractions. you need to have that plan. year old

war engineer in the past 5 months. thank you so much about him for i had for speaking to us from dell. ha. let's bring an al jazeera senior political analyst for one shot. he's joining us by scott from paris. so one brought him today saying that this possibly does have the potential to escalate to do you agree with that assessment? second, israelis insisting that this is not a one time operation. it's not even a one day campaign. this will roll on until they have reached their targets. so the minister of defense ben guns always been responsible for the last number of wars on gas off as chief over the army as well as minister of defense. the still governments, he's been responsible for that kind of commission against garza,

that we're taking that you know, more attacks and more refreshing, more from bartman resolve issue. and each time he's punishing these re these. but he will bring them security for those of us with some memory. you know, understand too well, that's the last 2 decades. what a key since 2005, when is that accurately withdrew under the pressure of resistance from gaza. that it's always been doing the same nonstop, at least for several, for wars on guys. but that doesn't resolve the problem to secure the problem for israel. so he's asking to finish to do so. it could, it could join how much that means a why there war rice and marijuana as we just as we went to where there was a, a new slash. i'll tell you about it. so this is according to is really radio saying

that siren, there has been a sirens warning of incoming gaza rockets. and these sirens were sounded in tele, vive, and fact that the longer this goes on. how does this, how will this play out domestically within israel? what do you see, i mean part of this clash of the williams, if you will, between the resistance movements and the occupying forces is such the agenda and who controls the reason of the confrontation. so why israel began this agra aggression on? got it. i think the resistance more runs, especially as you had at this point in time. it's trying to be exact on how and when and where a kitchen is. right. so why has this very sophisticated iron dorm on the

beside miss side defense system. but clearly the scatter that, that the, that the, but as soon as are creating with inside means that then we choose the time and the place where they're going to have it in the coming hours and days. so it could be a settlement jason for grass or it could be far away. thousands and cities like philippine, which means that the palestinians are trying to say it just like you could create so much damage and better and garza, we courage open ended lea. second, your population, and even if you don't enjoy or annual them, but we will simply be terrorized them and send them to the counselors, right. and behind the scenes model, when it comes to any sort of mediation, what do you think is going on right now? because according to the egyptians on friday, they said that they were mediating to de escalate the situation. but then the

israeli army, this is according to some reports that really aren't saying that there are currently no negotiations with islamic jihad over a ceasefire. where do you think sounds yeah, right. good. quite paradox ago. bizarre as it were. but diction sought him to leave . 38 and yet is right. it says are normally the issues that you have been stabbed once and again in the back rooms, in addition and perception. but you know, as we all know, deception is at the heart of any warfare, has mastered the art of lighting. the art of destruction didn't lie to day addictions to the ship. i should still applies to the americans because she has a spot on parcel which warfare strategy as it were. so it's not gonna basically share whatever intentions or plans are and how does apparently

a targeted agenda sort of a number of sydney and locations within guys and, but neither will continue to do so. i think that the patients would in fact, just last for last year, meeting 3021 of us. that's one point and present writing got on the phone with minnesota and said, you need to stop. you need to stop saying that we are not saying that we're not interfering. we're not putting pressure. you need to stop this war. these ages were deceiving the israeli public, the american public about that there is no question while the white house was putting pressure on your hand. we go once again, there's an out of pressure, but they're not listening. thank you so much for joining us from paris. plenty more head on the i'll just renew our including the u. s. secretary said, as told the region cannot afford an escalation of tensions as he visit the

philippines. why ukraine is military is turning to virtual shooting ranges, to train new recruit and saudi. oh, man is already a fan favorite, a buyer immune bob action from the german. but this legal that's coming up in force with peter. ah, but 1st, taiwan is accusing the chinese army of stimulating an attack on its main island on day 3 of beijing biggest ever military drills in the seas around taiwan. tensions remain high with china, which is furious over the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi visits to taiwan to vehicle pollen of taiwan plus explains why the situation is a wider security threats. those i thought outlying islands are the closest point you can get to mainland china. in fact, one of them can men, is only about 10 kilometers away from poor john province. now they're used to

seeing this kind of activity around a military activity from china and seeing that, that kind of intimidation in that area. but this time, china's also focusing, as we know, it's military drills, not just in those areas, but also on the main island. in fact, this morning, the ministry of defense said that there's china's created a scenario with this exercises where it's simulating an attack on the main island, apply one, which is where the capital is. and this all comes to ass. anthony blinkin has confirmed and the u. s. has announced that china is broken off all communications on certain issues with the u. s. and those issues include military, that of great worry, of course for taiwan. because the u. s. is time wants, main ally. and in addition to that, the united states why law has to help taiwan protect itself. should there be a war scenario? so having those communications broken at a time and these military exercises are taking place, it's of great concern right now. while the philippines,

foreign minister and rick min arlo has hold, the u. s. secretary of state, his region cannot afford an escalation of tensions. antony blinkin is a manilla and has that president for the non marcos junior. marcos describe the u. s. philippines ties as a special relationship. barnaby lo has more from manila after a rough patch under the administration of president would reger returning the philippines and the united states have reaffirmed. an enduring partnership on saturday, us secretary of state antony blanket, met with the countries newly elected leader ferdinand mark was junior. and i reiterated our ironclad commitment to the u. s. philippines mutual defense treaty and reaffirmed that an armed attack on philippines armed forces, public vessels, or aircraft, in the south china sea would invoke us mutual defense commitments under the treaty . lincoln arrived from non pen were foreign ministers of the 10 member association

of southeast asian nations discussed the growing tension in the taiwan strait. chinese conducting military drills until sunday in response to u. s. house speaker nancy pelosi visit to the self ruled island of taiwan. the total disproportion between a peaceful visit on the one hand and escal literary military maneuvers on the other i think is very clear and very clear. 2 countries throughout the region. president marcos said the latest moves add to an already tense situation. oh, i see it case in point the south china sea, where the philippines and china have had a territorial dispute. in 2016, the philippines won an international ruling, invalidating china's vast claims in the region. but china has continued its

military build up and incursions. marcus administration has to emphasize it's the here is 2, a one china policy, but with tension high in water. so near the philippines it will be looking to do that is states for every new commitment to a long standing military alliance. barring to below al jazeera manila, let's speak to lawrence corp was a former us assistant secretary defense and senior fellow at the center for american progress. he's joining us now by a guy from washington dc. good to have you with us once again on al jazeera, thanks for your time. so what do you think the message is that china is sending out by sending 20 chinese aircraft to cross the taiwan strait media in line in light of the height and tensions right now? well, president, she had said that if speaker pelosi visited there be serious consequences. so that's what he's trying to show because these exercises are much more provocative

and serious than the ones that they've had ever since. taiwan. so seated from from mainland china and it was dangerous because you're firing these missiles, you could have got accidental type of attack on the mainland of taiwan. and that would, that would create all kinds of problems. similarly, a lot of the missiles, their flyers are going into waters that are claimed by japan. so there's a lot of tensions. you just hope that by tomorrow sunday, when these exercises and that tension will begin to cool down. if not, how does the de escalate and who can play that mediation role at this point? well, again, basically, the real problem is going to be, even if they end the exercises, which they said they're going to end tomorrow. the fact that, as you pointed out, we don't have any more military to military contacts. we're not going to work

together on climate change or drugs or crime. this going to have long term serious impact on our global security and us security rates. which i wanted to ask you about, in fact that you are referring to china of course, holding times with the us on a range of critical issues you were just mentioning the climate crisis. following, of course our visit to taiwan by how speaker nancy pelosi. so do you expect more measures and, and perhaps counter measures? no, i think if we can get through to morrow things. busy go back not to normal because we're not going to work on these other areas. but then over time, i think that will begin to work together because by and large, a lot of these problems and i, china faces can't be dealt with unless they are part of the international community . what they've done is actually increase their national security problem because

the japanese will be more with the us. the philippines will be more with the us and we have even india and australia. so basically they are, security will be suffer. now we got, i think president chief, this wall will get reelected to a 3rd term, which would be unprecedented to come out. and then basically, maybe we can get back to normal. and you said that the u. s. has this position on taiwan has been somewhat ambiguous and you think that needs to change? what would you like to see going forward? well, i'd like to see what's happened as president biden has said we will use military force and then the people back gall. i think what we need to say is we support one china policy and basically, but they cannot achieve it by force when i was in government and i went to china,

i told them that this would have to be settled over time and back then i said, maybe 30 or 40 years. well it looks like 30 or 40 years have passed since the reagan administration. it's still not settle. but i think we have to make clear that we could come to their defense if they use military force without saying we will. but we could need to factor that in to their calculation. all right, lawrence court, thank you so much for speaking to us from washington d. c. thank you for howard me. phil had on the, i'll just renew our. we talked to a mother of 2 young children about the is really just right bombing, her neighborhood else and the fear surrounding their like later in sport. curios, fire is up in washington with more kind of a

setting, the discussion. i'd love to see every time there was an attack on a mosque or the right wing organization saying, we don't approve that. examining the headline is coordinate the political court that is making political decision explorer and abundance of world class programming . designed to inform the biggest survey autocrat his crowd of people on the streets motivate and inspire. he's opening an area that a blind person never thought they could do on al jazeera. ah ah, hello again, the top phones on the algebra news, our israel,

who was here. so i found gaza for a 2nd day. at least 15 people have been killed in more than 100 palestinians injured in the start. and these images show the moment, and it's really jet struck a 5 story building in a residential area in ga gov. israel says the operation will last one week. and israel has said it was targeting the palestinian on group is lot of jihad, but civilians including a 5 year old girl had been killed along with a commander of the group. policy and fighters have launched a barrage of rockets towards israel. but how much the state on the sidelines so far, it's really forced to say they've arrested 90 members of the climate you had group in the occupied west bank. and the only power plant in gaza has now shut down after running out of fuel. it's gone without fuel deliveries through israel's and tuesday following the closer of goods and people crossings. the electricity supply is expected to plummet to just for hours today. let's cross over to gaza and speak

lack of no mic prospects with the configuration, with the bookcase in everyday life. so people would expect it would be living there again, look like another job, unfortunately. very unfortunate time witnessing then again, don't fear and really lack of where is this going great. and just continue to play again. and again. one time, other ration after, after the hard, tell us about the blasts that you you yourself heard a close to your house? yes. to me. there was a couple of when i was not the house, but then there was close at one where i was trying to get some brands and some
