is really warplanes strike garza for a 2nd day 15. people have been killed so far and dozens wounded. and 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. ah, you're watching l 0. lie from headquarters in ohio, getting obligated also coming up. 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 hotly contested in recent history.

ah, hello, israel has launched airstrikes on garza for a 2nd day. at least 15 palestinians have been killed and more than a 100 injured since the attack. these images show the moment and is really just struck a 5 story building in a residential area. in garza, the army says their operation will last a week. israel has said its targeting, the palestinian are in group islamic jihad, but civilians including a 5 year old child have been killed along with the commander of the group. i'm not pulling up in the left analysis. a little 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 siege of garza by his riley forces, which now runs to 15 years, we have a 40 percent shortage in basic medical supplies. that palestinian fighters have

launched the barrels of rockets towards israel. that huh. stayed on the sidelines so far is really forces say they've arrested 1900 members of slamming jihad and the occupied west bank troops rated sites in the city of janine and south from a law. you must say it has more from gaza on the attacks targeting residential homes where i'm standing now is a home. it was a 2, a 2 floor story, building it with 4 apartments for 4 families over 30 residents. lived in this ah, room. it's horrible. now this home, our story building was targeted. it was our 1st a targeted by a drone recognizance a message. they got a warning call to evacuate and ah, and then in 15 minutes it was completely destroyed as you can see. so the, not only this building that has been completely destroyed,

but also if the camera can show all the buildings that are close to this building that was brought down everywhere, have been also partially destroyed. the people in the area in this neighborhood have fled out and gone to a different other family or relatives in different other areas. and because this trip and this is a very serious development in the recent escalation, israel now is targeting homes. another home was recently targeted in a tenant halla, which is just a few 100 meters from here. and according to the ministry of hell, a lots doesn't actually of injuries have fallen as casualties from dad targeting mostly from the children. john holman, has more from 16 junction on the israel garza border so far at the moment when more

than 160 rockets fight from gaz it towards israel. what is the israeli military is saying is that very few of those have hit any points of importance that the ones that haven't been deflected and stop by and don't, which is israelis anti rocket system have landed instead even within guys or in the populated areas. so there's no serious injuries reported sofa by those rockets in garza where they obviously don't have those same systems where it's being hit hard by the israeli strikes. so the latest on this side is israeli major is reporting the defense minister benny guns is saying that this will continue that, that no the point of stopping yet these re be line on this is that they're going off the islamic jihad targets within garza. they're also looking to hit things like

weapon storage. i'm rocket launches, they say that they just hit and go after a rocket launcher. and that's what's been happening throughout the night. so saying that they're not letting islamic jihad set the agenda here. so here's what we know about the palestinian group islamic g has it was founded in the early eighty's by palestinian students in egypt who were inspired by the muslim brotherhood and liter, influenced by iran atlantic revolution, the group say mister, liberates palestine and former state within the pre 1948 borders islamic jihad doesn't take part in the palestinian political process and has opposed peace agreements like the oslo accords. a concentrates on armed resistance against israel, with its military wing, the quits brigades. it's active in gaza as well as the occupied west bank. and the group has its headquarters in syria and reportedly received funds from iran. it's designated as a terrorist group by the u. s. u israel and the u. k. abraham for hearts as an

associate professor of conflict resolution at the institute. he explained in more detail the groups ideology as learned you had as known to the peace process that he go. she ation approach with vial. bob, an autumn, the struggle against the late a cube ation. like how limited you had is a close ally, a very close. i would say with iran you can say approx, he'll get on in the region. if you wealth ab received funding from it on millet, i'm on the google and i because in that policy you know that it is unlike huh. who and paul out of in, in god's that's responsible for that the anybody upset this is one of the people. so it's land you had because i think it's linked to it. i'm. we are seeing one of

the all that is by launching that there is no doubt that factions, the political factions strongly united, fully united. this is at least what came in the very initial statement by all part, the response to that is why you attack on gaza. however, i think that for the time being there is a strategy on that list. they had to respond to as well as we have seen this in that missiles that let me jad wild back. but as well as that is it sounds, it seems like that how much is, is watching very carefully and provide the goal, the support that you had needs, but not o'shelley. getting involved at the moment. and there been protests held in solidarity with the palestinians and neighboring jordan. crowds gathered outside

a mock near the is really embassy in the capital mine to rally against israel. the air strikes on guys off, jordan has demanded. israel immediately stop. it's aggression. it's called on the international community to protect the palestinian people. let's bring into honeywell stuff us. she's a palace fine analyst for the international crisis group, and she's joining us from grandma in the occupied west bank to her name of stuff. i welcome to al jazeera, what is the, the mood like in drama lower? you are right now. i mean, it's a demonstration here in ramallah against what's going on, of course. but ultimately, i don't think anyone is necessarily surprised. this is a consistent fraction of israel taking action against palestinians before election . so they start to provocations and create the opportunity to look tough. you know, these current escalations that we're seeing or not suddenly driven out. no, and this was a deliberate,

is ready publication against the backdrop of their own internal political dynamics and chaos. but more importantly, the people that are really paying the price for this cause and civilians, as usual, as per usual when it comes to the sports across the board of conflicts. but we're seeing right. this was happening backdrop, sorry, of egyptian mediations, but from each i had, we're trying to mediate through the egyptians with the israelis in trying to de escalate the situation and stop these kinds of publications against their members. and israel decide to take lateral action as it usually does. what is the link between what's been going on in the occupied west bank since in fact, the start of this year where you had a t palestinians killed 78 of them from the west bank and a 3rd of those in jeanine an overnight and into the early hours of this morning we saw the arrests of palestinians including activists from islamic jihad in the occupied west bank. so how do these developments play into what's now happens in

gaza? i mean, essentially, garza is again paying a collective price for the things that are happening across the occupied territories. what we've seen outside of the immediate triggers is that we've seen over the last few months, the skirt situation in the west bank deteriorate, especially in places outside of a lot of talking about have run. janine, i know then, primarily the know them, i think we've seen israel deliberately targeting is so i mean to have members, you know, we've seen crashes through continuous and increased israeli incursions. i've really seen an optic over the last 5 months and that ended up leading to, you know, of the last few days before the unnecessary arrest of the stormy. you had lead of one of its cells and jeanine. and again,

you know it completely on for aggression, israel arrested and eat and detained their leader. we had to get ation efforts trying to call the situation between us. i mean to have an israel at the same time israel was enforcing collective punishment on gaza through an almost total blockade . and that was, you know, prior to to killing its leader. and then we'll then go to the strip just yesterday . so we had seen publications happening over the last few days and then ended up leaving to to really what was the tribune point for something to have. right. and for the palestinian authority, how would you gauge their reaction so far? just about 24 hours ago. we heard condemnation come out of the palestinian authority, but with the ongoing divisions between hamas and guys and the palestinian authority and they occupied west bank. this doesn't bode well for the palestinians. does it? you know, i mean, you're going to hear the same empty rhetoric and statements coming out of the

palestinian authority and lead leadership. ultimately, they are powerless to do anything. there isn't really anything they can do. i, you know, ultimately you're going to end up hearing or seeing the exact same cycle that we're continuously seeing almost annually. now, where by israel will, you know, at some point in a, you'll have the same empty rhetoric coming from the policy authority amount to ultimately no action. and that affect to believe, you know, again, gods and civilians are the ones that are going to ultimately pay the price. they all the collateral damage on this of the 15 people that been killed so far, 12 of those civilians. we'll leave it there. thank you. so much for joining us from, but i'm a law. thank you. taiwan is accusing the chinese army assimilating an attack on its main island on day 3 evasions. biggest ever military drills and surrounding waters. tensions remain high with china with just furious over the u. s. how
