israel launches and strikes on garza and palestinians. hit back with more than a 100 rockets. what prompted the latest escalation? what impact would they have on daily lives? this is inside story. ah . hello and welcome to the show. i'm sammy's. a than fears are growing of another war over garza, after israel launched their stripes on the palestinian territory. the military is warning over a week of operations against arm groups. tension been building since tuesday is really forces arrested bershana sadie, a palestinian islamic jihad commander in the west bank that day. the armed groups threatened to retaliate. israel enclosed roads near the border with garza or

a day later and on friday is rainy. miss how struck what the army said we're islamic jihad sites in the strip. one of the group senior commanders was killed. several civilians died as well, including a 5 year old girl. what is this child's fault? she was dreaming of going to kindergarten in asked her father for a school bag and clothes. what has she done wrong? this innocent child? what is radia strikes have continued for a 2nd day in the say it has more from gaza city. this is the 2nd day of israeli rates across the gaza strip and a serious development of these raids israel and now is targeting residential buildings and residential homes. and even civilians. this used to be a 2 story residential building. a for apartment, it has been totally destroyed and brought to the ground. the families here were

given 15 minutes to evacuate before it was completely destroyed. not only this building has been completely destroyed, but all the other residential buildings in the apartment, a jackson to this building has been partially and severely damaged. and this is serious development. another home intended how an area also couple of meters away from this area has been targeted. medical crews tell us that a lot of injuries, mostly from children where a brought out of that targeting. we do not have the final number from the ministry of health, but until now, 12 people have been killed and over a 100 have been injured in the latest israeli escalation on because this trip unit, the for inside story got a slamming you had 5 more than

a 100 rockets toward southern israel, many of them intercepted by the iron dome defense system. john holeman has more from the israel gaza border. we're here on the border between israel and garza back there. in the last few hours has been rockets heading across from garza into israel. a lot of those have proved ineffectual, even because israel's eye and dome anti rocket system is shut them down all because they've landed in the populated areas of fallen shore in garza and this has come this retaliation after israel on friday launch strikes into garza that killed a leader of islamic jihad that came after earlier in the week. israel also detained a leader of islamic jihad in the occupied west bank. so at the moment is to actions from israel, especially the strike on friday. this cause this retaliation from islamic jihad.

now the question that everyone's asking is whether this will escalate further, that seems to be a question of hamas, the other group in garza that control much of garza get involved in this or whether they don't. there's also questions about why israel is chosen to do this. they say that it's been in essence, a preemptive strike, because there's been a threat to them from garza. a lot of other people speculating. this is about internal politics and elections. yay le, pete. the act in prime minister wanting to show that he strong. we will see how this develops in the coming hours in the coming days. john homan inside story. now let's take a closer look at the palestinian islamic jihad or p. i. j's it's known. the group was founded in the 19 eighties and is the 2nd largest group in gaza, off the math to often act independently of one another. the p, i. j keeps a presence in garza and the occupied west bank with the focus on military

confrontations. iran is a major financial supporter. the group has been designated a terrorist organization by israel, the united states, the european union, the u. k. japan, canada, and australia. when sammy ger had, and hamis have a common stance against israel, but the relationship can become tense when i'm ass exerts pressure on the p i. j to stop attack so retaliations. ah, well let's bring in our guest into the show. we have joining us from garza raji surani, a lawyer and the director of the palestinian center for human rights from ramallah . no router, a political analyst and colonist and from west jerusalem, you only been me and asked him a political and list and journalist, welcome to everyone i could start with nor do you think we're going to see another . busy full blown war in garza. well,

i think that still it's still not clear so far. it doesn't seem like this is going to escalate into something, lack of the aggression that we saw last year. but i think it's important to remind the viewers that garza has been under assault and siege for over 15 years. in fact, a lot more than that. but let's just examine the past 15 years. this is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. the majority of the population of 2000000 are children and they, the most of their lives has been spent under siege by israel. and so that, that means that they've lived their life in a state of perpetual trauma, perpetual violence as well. and these episodes of try to assault and military raids are just the, you know, the heightened accent. right,

right. and will get more into the, the reality of the daily grind of life for people in gaza. but let me re focus back on the question of walked garza is heading into and let me ask you only do you think these railey the to ship once a full blown war right now with garza? of course not. who wants a war? nobody wants a war. i think it will happen, these are a slamming. you had organisation, they tried to change the rule of the games, then they create a new equation and the escalated over the rest of their sub thought. the one of the leaders were thinking jeanine was arrested. and since they try to change the things you know, any, when even after that arrest on tuesday, we didn't see the much feared wide wave of palestinian. it attacks

into israel after that arrest on tuesday up until the attacks these ready raids on friday. right. right. but then of course, i don't represent these really government. all, you're really army in the army a says, and i don't have any reason to doubt them because it is the check that i made with my sources confirmed that day. i mean, do you have any, an attack, a on these really a settlement on the border with the guys using a anti pick a call next a me size and snipers and then what is will leave all these really army the, the for the display attack actually what they did is a preemptive strike, or if you activist of these like you have the say it cause the escalation and

the rockets over 200 rockets were launched by the slamming jihad towards these were let me bring noah back in. as the only said, no one wants a full blown war. why are we seeing an escalation then? no. well, i think this is really government manufactured this escalation. it pushed for it over the past 2 weeks. it did. it took every measure imaginable to increase tensions, whether it's by raids and detentions and assassinations in the west bank by sealing off the gaza strip, which cannot survive without access to goods from outside this trip. immediately after detaining bus on the saturday and then by assassinating a prominent leader of the p, i. j. in gaza on friday. this was, this is on, on the israeli government, this is on the israeli prime minister who's going to run for elections. and

unfortunately, we've seen this term before, we seen is really leaders feeling that they need to prove themselves worthy of the israeli vote. especially those votes on the right by proving that they can be tough on the palestinians that they can commit or crimes against the palestinians. without hesitation, and that's really what we're saying. we're seeing, we're seeing really jump in israeli like bring you to the point which you only made . he said look, i checked with my sources. this was an intervention by israel to stop a planned attack by palestinian slamming you had, i think he's referring to the israeli airstrikes which began on friday. right. well, i mean, you know, your guests might consider the israeli army a credible source. but i think those of us who've covered this for a long time and, and still remember the spin that was, he was told even about the killing of a dear colleague. she didn't know to the credibility of this occupying army. there

is no such thing as a pre emptive strike. you cannot kill someone extra judicially assassinate someone because you think they're going to carry out something. the fact is not a single shot was fired from gaza. israel escalated israel, targeted islamic she had in the west bank and gaza. israel created this escalation, created this mass, and we'll have to take responsibility for it. and what is happening is on their hands, or maybe it's important. take a little step back, raji, whatever the, you know, how this got escalated at this point we're getting reports of civilians paying a price including children being killed in some of these as strikes by the israelis. what would a, why, the war mean for basic human rights for civilians,

both palestinians and israelis living in the south. but he is ready to go with one of the most per duke and conflicts in the history. and i'm not saying ill document it. and that was terrified, although since 2014 to present it to the i. c. c. there was an investigation opened and i didn't do that. the great march for loss. the blockade on garza, i think to me 21 to one last year. and every time you sort of target it, since i've been got that got a very intentional and it's very clear. and are you the storm c, d as and civilian targets. more than 70 percent can

killings and destruction of may last year where civilians and city and target including $62.00 children has been can and in days so as the end of what they are doing, there are not 3 in, in targeting this on the 1st day or hammers, who are the good guys in the sky, but they are targeting palestinian cities the are the ones in the storm and they are doing this to them. killings, enduring, distortion, social or political suffocation. i don't know why they located garza for the last 16 years. why 2200000 people in 300. ready 65

square meters as being persecuted with the crime located according to our study it's, we're a crisis persecution and is, or should you hold that don't have been for in and for many, many. busy rice, that is a b, sorry, let me bring in yoni again. you know, no touched on the point of upcoming elections in israel and many analysts, including even some israeli commentators have written today about their suspicion that these ready ass strikes might have something to do with those upcoming elections. want to make of that uni hello. ok. eventually, after the struggle fighting gay will be over the politicians. and we'll use what happened in guys they are deleted, it can be, this is possible, but to,

to come in say that this is the reason for what happened for the a preemptive strike. to, to thwart the terror thread. um, i think this is exaggerated. i think that in i didn't get that information is the guess from other sit on these really are me. i may cover you say what is happening it there to so the last hold to use and believe me, i've credible sources and i checked this information to thoroughly. and the reason for you said that was to war or attack and it's got nothing to do with politics. but i, it's possible that the politician will use it either a political campaign. this is a possibility the only what prompted the israeli raid on jeanine on tuesday, you referred to the reason for the is radia strikes on friday. being a preemptive strike, to stop a tax on ezra. what prompted the,

the beginning of this round with the, the move which israel made by raiding jeanine on tuesday. dragging out by sam saddie from the camp or video, showed him being drag dogs fighting him. that sort of operation. i mean at that time again the, the wood didn't see the values of palestinian rockets going across from gauze or into into us is happening. we. what is happening is jolene is a daily seeing the understand the, the lost control in the city of ginni, the refugee camp of jeanine, and the few villages surrounding they cannot, there control these areas anymore. security wise and the same as a result. a deputies of the on the military group, purple is still in groups. janine developed and they started to it is

to become a threat to so security. and there is some of a of them even interested these well and here without their attacks, a lack the wanting tel aviv a. so where would these early army was doing their own ration of arrests? and it wasn't a society what you said read from the house and so on. he was, he tried to escape from these really are me. and he was captured and they're taking to detention interrogation. this is what you saw. and these are the pictures that you so nor, i guess for many, including the you and investigators that handed in a report on june. the 7th. it comes down to when you start to break it down like we're doing on the show, it comes down to the occupation. they say that these tensions, they're referring to the last major war between israel and garza,

were caused by what it calls a perpetual occupation of palestinian areas with no apparent intention of ending it is this violence simply the cost of what the un investigators call a perpetual occupation absolutely, and it's also the result of the arrogance of israel, the occupying power that expects the people it occupies to be subdued, to die quietly, to surrender, to detention quietly and to not resist or demand freedom. that is not, not attainable formula. it is not a situation that any occupier has been able to create much less israel. but because israel has gotten so used to being treated exceptionally to countries covering up for its crimes, protecting it from accountability, whether at the international criminal court or otherwise it has become so they

should in expressing its indignation at any fine of palestinian resistance or demand for freedom, it expects that all palestinians will acquiesce to its hedge a monic power. and so it doesn't see that its raids on jeanine are provocative. it doesn't see the killing of palestinians as incendiary as illegal as crimes. and it, it doesn't expect or doesn't accept that such crimes, such murders would have a reaction so long as the this occupation and the culture of impunity with which it operates, continues. then of course we go, you know, this, this reality of brutalization of traumatize ation of violence will, will persist. and really, ordinary palestinians are the ones who continue to pay

a very dear price, especially in god. let me tell you about point back then to yoni. i mentioned what the un investigators had found on june the 7th human rights organizations have said, similar things. you can look up, amnesty international may 2021 where they say, quote, unless the world presses israel to address the root cause is like the legal blockade of, of gaza. impunity, dispossession, oppression of palestinians. there'll be another round of civilian death and destruction does not come back yoni to this being the price of occupation and, and ball cade. look, it's very clear that the solution to this problem is a political solution and not the military solution. and is it not the end of occupation, the jani? looky the different thoughts, school of thoughts about the world use, especially is referred to, got a st for, is word with through obliquely,

for may the gods us 3. as you know, it's true, there is a brocade on garza, but this is the result of what happened. you guys still a, if there is still going to zation pull, come us a me to put her in, took over a by force. a took over that as a street expelled the palestinian authority from gaza and a building b. there are infrastructure in garza, which is in full of panels. they are okay in, in his old he needs to try and attack israel and destroy the state of israel. they say publicly, even the slanted do you have a just look at the name or where this organizations you have? what does it me in arabic, of course,

you know what it means. only wore it only war against who actually actually it means a struggle, but the match will get lost in semantics to deep into it. no, i think it does it mean with destruction of the state of israel or, or holy war, but reckoning our victor are now and anyway on the leave. let me because we're going to go a few minutes. we haven't really heard enough. i don't think from ron g, ron, you are already getting reports that for example, israel stop the shipment of fuel into garza because of this latest escalation and that the power station of garza is not now functioning. tell us what that means for daily life. people going to school, people in their homes for hospitals or it just it land of being shut down this morning. there is no discipline in shipping. we do just one. the reason that i have my private otherwise its mission impossible even to contact word. second, it's up to on to and you know,

source the medium news, but then there was put the system for lots health system labs. i mean, there is hundreds of medical patients who because every day now it's almost there because of the patient doesn't work at the time being even trans chatting look record. it's mostly the kids are allowed so many will die because transferred to receive digital. they can get it by stating, et cetera. not allow that to be taking garza and deliver suffering. good news on this sick or immensely huge. all right, well i think we're going to have to leave the discussion that there like ca, gas very much for that contributions. raji surani nor the and you only been but
