hello, of the deadliest escalation and violence since last year's war. and garza a ceasefire between israel and the palestinian group is lemme jihad has come into force. $44.00 palestinians, including 15 children, had been killed since the fighting began on friday after israel launched what it described as preemptive strikes on garza. it claimed it was only targeting members of islamic jihad, but palestinian officials say at least one 3rd of the deaths have been civilians to senior islamic jihad commanders have been killed in the strikes. including the group's leader in southern garza, hallad mansoor post retaliated with hundreds of rockets fired across the border. some rich as far as jerusalem, but israel's armies 97 percent have been intercepted. this while food and fuel has been running out for people living in garza most are only getting 4 to 8 hours of electricity a day with crossing points into the strip closed since tuesday. somebody collude

has more from garza. well, we can say that the, the situation is relatively quiet. there were 2 launching rockets attempt by the policy and fractions to worse israel. and there have been no israeli response on these 2 attempts. are still we can, we could hear the israeli drones flying over over our heads, but there are no exclusions in the law for at least 15 to 20 minutes. so yes, relatively in comparison with the last couple or last 3 days, we can say the sci fi, r, k, m, to effect according to islamic jihad. the main point of dispute in the last 24 hours was the egyptian guarantees. they were seeking no guarantees from egypt that it will work. i mean egypt on the release of islamic jihad

senior leader that was arrested in the west bank. but some i thought the so since they got these guarantees, as them get accepted, the fees fire, there was another point which is also moving the islamic jihad or the telephone and prisoner was in a hunger strike for more than a 100 day. moving him to the hospital to receive the medical treatment. so these are the 2 disputed points that seems at the end, they reach an agreement on that. so after the solving this issue is let me you had said that it accepted a proposal for the sci fi up. her name is falling commitments from western michigan. there have been a sporadic reports of incoming rockets, if into israel. the sirens were activated in the south just

a short time ago warning people to take shelter. but as far as israel is concerned, this operation is over. it is saying that the military said a short time ago that it used helicopter's fighter jets and arm drones were among the tools that used to target is so much you had across the gaza strip. it has thanked egypt for its role in mediating the ceasefire. but says, if attacks continue into israel, it will not hesitate to quote, act forcefully and says it will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that the daily lives of israelis will not be disrupted earlier this evening. the prime minister. yeah, your la peed went to the central military base in tel aviv to assess the situation . he had said earlier that the objectives of the so called operation breaking dawn had been fulfilled and that there was no need for the operation to continue. what were these objectives from the israeli strategic mindset?

the objective was to neutralize islamic jihad with most, if not all of the senior leadership being killed, as well as the feeling that a kind of divide had been created between is found that she had and hamas, which governs gaza with hamas remaining on the sidelines. there was a concern that if this operation was protracted and the death toll continued to rise, that perhaps hamas might enter the fray. it appears for now that that has not happened was his fire follows another day of violence which left several people dead. i'm sure there is, you know, i say it has been following developments in garza and has more of a date events. israel has carried out the 3rd day of air rates of the gaza strip. message struck refugee counts and destroyed apartment buildings. eye witnesses say the attacks took place without warning. knowing what to say. we were praying.

suddenly we found a miss, silent now home. we didn't know where it hit us from. it was so sudden and a little rough fashion. israel says the target was posting a islamic jihad and the 2 of the armed groups leaders had been killed. carlin masoud, a senior member of the goods brigade. the groups motor wing was killed in rafa near the addiction border. israel also, essays, tunnels. i'll post rocket launch, size and weapons stores have been destroyed, is slavic, the head responded by firing rockets still with israel. civil switch, we're shut down by the iron. don't miss i. system. other smaller power. mean groups are also believe to have fire rocket. several countries in organizations have condensed the violence, the un humanitarian coordinator for garza said, she's gravely concerned by the civilian death is in injury while another you,

a 170000 tons of grain under an export deal negotiated by turkey and the u. n. before the war, russia and ukraine accounted for nearly a 3rd of global grain exports, partly it supplying some of the world's poorest countries. john hendern is in ukraine's capital keith, and has more on the latest nuclear facility attack. zillow, as he wants to have an international investigation, he wants officials from the international atomic energy agency to go to that site and to investigate what's happening he's, he does call it nuclear tear. what ukrainians are saying is that the russians have been firing from the site of that nuclear facility. well, that naturally draws return fire, but ukraine says, it wasn't the military that struck that cited insist that russia was the one that did that. and today we had a worker injured during yet another strike on that facility. so there is

a legitimate concern around the world. this is the largest nuclear facility, not just in ukraine, but in europe. and it could cause a nuclear disaster, as we saw, ensure noble back in the eighty's. so this is a major concern, not just as a landscape, but also the international community. the head of the i. e. a raphael grossi said he was extremely concerned. he said there was a very real risk of disaster invite his s or he doesn't just mean in ukraine. so there will perhaps be an investigation. but it's a difficult situation because van facility is behind the russian line. that means there are russian troops around it. russian troops firing around it and inside are ukrainian workers, essentially working at gunpoint under the direction of the russian. so whether or not this investigation will come off or not, that is unclear. the, the company that owns that particular facility, it's a ukrainian company. they said it was sheer luck that in this strike today,

there wasn't a radiation lee because there were spent nuclear rods and those are left out in the open air in that portion of the facility. and there was a risk of radiation coming out if that actual site had been breach. so that is a concern to be a zalesky concern is who is to blame for this? he says it's the russians, firefighting teams from mexico and venezuela helping cuba battle flames that have engulfed a major oil storage facility oil tanks at the returns us facility has been burning since it was struck by lightning on friday. at least one cuban firefighter has died and wound doesn't know those missing. officials say 122 people have been injured and often has more from the tons us they, me, they are in our hosting that they finally making today, venezuelan and mexican specialists, firefighters with specialist knowledge and also this crucial phone that you need to

really the whole question is whether or not that port infrastructure that sends the oil that talks to the silos to one of which is still burning. and then it's transported to the rest of the country to generate power. whether that infrastructure has been critically damaged. china's military staged a 4th and final day drills in their taiwan towns. defense ministry says at least 2 dozen chinese aircraft entered. it says space. the fighter jets and drones were deployed as a warning to tie pay after hosted us how speaker nancy pelosi. around 10 warships from both china and taiwan have also sailed close to each other in the taiwan strait with some chinese vessels crossing the median line. with lazy 1000 tourists locked down in a popular chinese crystal city due to a code 19 outbreak. 483 cases were reported in sonya on sunday. outbound flights have been cancelled, and trained ticket sales are on hold. travelers miss present 5 negative p. c
