hours of thursday morning. the health ministry says at least 8 palestinians are dead. joining us on the phone now is ahmed ma, who's making his way to jeanine. hello, there. it seems. there have been daily rides in jermaine for the past 2 weeks. what more can you tell us about today's incidents yet today he's writing for says this trauma can engineer one of the cities and the occupied west bank at 7 local time, which is 5 g and p, and the it is part of an infant fight campaign by these courses, again, it's what the goal medicines, sort of pinion fractions, and the refugee camp and jeanine over the past 2 to 4 weeks. as has intensified if campaign against the sections there. since the start of the year,

at least $28.00 people were killed and including 5 children and 2 page rate, this is the highest goal. and at least 4 or 5 months, we're talking now about 5 years killed. 16 wanted and 4 critically in critical condition. and this is going on, and despite the fact that the t is technically governing janine other towns and they'll provide with bank. but the policy is upset. i'm frustrated that this is going on, day and night, non stop. and also it coincides with the regulation of the new israel government, which includes senior ministers from the fog lights. and these ministers, like it's not been given to you, mentioned security minister vows and bridges they and they out that there will

be another decisive war against infections like mass based on. and he said 2 days ago, just 2 days ago that this war is imminent. ahmed, where hearing reports of that death toll continues to rise. how is this violence impacting the people in jeanine? do you think? well, i mean, the jamie residents are staying up late waiting for the next minute. wait, and the city, they're saying they are exhausted. they stopped to think about when were they off the switch and what would it be my turn when will it be my son or another family member? and this increases the cycle of cost ration because as well as the say, a result into the same old policy which is the heavy handed policy. and they are just frustrated. you know, they, they see it, but the car go to work or when they go to work,

i'm southern come up on israeli soldiers and the streets and they could shoot me over them as they say. so it's just like a frustration and they just exhausted and but they are. all right, thank you very much for breaking down for us and make sure you get in touch when you arrive at the scene. my her for us on the phone at let's cross to west jerusalem now way him ron kon, is standing by for us him. ron put this into context. why are these rides happening on such a regular basis? was to put it very clearly and very simply at the israelis are often wanted at terrace, their words, they say the jenin refugee camp and of the towns and be occupied westbank, sickly in the north, are harbouring one to terror. so these operations have been going on for very long time in the last couple of weeks they have intensified, but they've been going on for the last 12 months. now this particular operation,

we're hearing israeli media, quote, israeli intelligence forces saying that they went in for this particular operational to cross a major, an immediate terrorist attack. now we can't confirm that, but that's the language that we see constantly being used by these readings is really say the palestinian resistance height is the, are in jeanine refugee camp are wanted terrorists and they're going to go in heavy handed. they're going to go in with special forces with the backing of the israeli army in some cases, to get those hers out. oftentimes what happens though is, you know, civilians are caught in the middle of this as we've seen over the last few weeks. now that hasn't dampened her these really further to try and go into janina refugee camp indeed is actually just getting stronger this. right. when government is my colleague on with my child, as she mentioned the far i government that this right when government is actually in no mood to back down from jenin refugee camp

a wants to push for they wants to go deeper into the palestinian refugee camps to root out will they like as a call terrace. now the more that that happens, the more that that pushes palestinians, for example, to trying a join up to defend themselves. a is a cycle of violence that continues, but these ratings are absolutely clear that are wanted terrorists within jeanine refugee camp. if the media reports are to be believed, then there was a major and mediates a threat of a terror attack. this is all the is relevant terminology amusing by the way. so there is no kind of will to back down from these is in fact, escalation is a word the we're hearing more and more into more bang there, who's a national security minister says that there will be a escalation or will be a, a wall with garza at some point a war on garza is a more accurate home at some point in the future. so these raise or aren't going to look at this and see a palestinians dead or something that they need to back away from. it's likely that

these rates are going to become ever more frequent. all right, thank you very much for the update him, ron and just some word from our news desk that palestinian ministry of health says 9 palestinians have now been killed in janine including an elderly woman. thank you very much in mankind. says move on now and in lebanon. the judge investigating the 2020 bay report explosion has been summoned by the top prosecutor, judge to rec, beta has been charged with miss handling the inquiry that is refusing to step down . on wednesday, the prosecutor also ordered the release of all those 2 times in the case, investigations were suspended a year ago after high level political interference. more than 200 people were killed in the blast when improperly stored chemicals ignited. that's close to zayna hunter who joins his live now from bay road. hello there santa. so this is looking like a showdown between the prosecutor and the judge. what's expected to unfold today?

yes, a legal showdown. another turning point, since the start of the investigation, the judge has really have been up against the political and security establishment which has been evading accountability on just this thought it baton is the 2nd judge appointed. in this case, the 1st judge was removed to after you want it to charge a number of high ranking officials, judge baton that the same on the basis that a number of officials as high up as the president were aware of the presence of highly explosive material at a port warehouse unsafely stored with inflammable materials and still there have been no answers. and now the prosecutor general is charging judge bitter. he summoned him for question, baton remains defiant. he says he won't until he issues an indictment. and today we have people here,

families of the victim showing their support to judge better among them is tatiana has through tea, she lost her father in that explosion. tatiana, what are your, what are your feelings today? more than 2 years on you have been demanding answers. i'm really angry and i'm discussed with what they are trying to do to delay the investigate again or even stop it because they don't feel like you are feeling. they did not go through what you went through and are going through now, and they are serving their political agendas. you, you say that you studied law because you wanna change the way this country is governed. can you explain to us how you see this, the way the country has been governed, and how the judiciary has been handling this case? we have this culture of immunity here in lebanon, where to war lords, who were just throwing messages and doing whatever they want, they just put on suits and went to the parliament. and now they are using that with frontier. they either speaker farnham, insert the presidents and everything and they can,

they is things they can go like they can flee of being like held responsible. what if they manage to remove judged better? what's next? what options are there on the table? for the families of the victim, we will not stop and they want a call from our from us because we believe in justice. we believe in our cause. we have like 200 feet and $200.00 victim. many people fled their houses, many families are shattered now and they think we will stay silent because they decided to remove a judge. no, we want, they did it once and they can do it again. and we will always have this strong good to continue with this investigation. why do the families of the victims? yes. who are divided up? why do some of them have some support for a judge better? what is, what has he done that has given you faith in his work?

we have faith and justice and this president is needing that investigation. so this is why you stand by him. we want to know the truth and is it is this job. he's no longer doing that investigation, why interfere with him? so let him do his job. what answers are you looking for? or you want to know why? and who did it like for me as the one who knew about the ammonium nitrate is responsible for what happened. everyone who knew and did not den also is responsible. you know, our bread that our last president went on tv and said, i knew. but i did, it couldn't do anything about it. so he is also gone to but for what happened, what about the international community? one of your demands was the families of the victims is to open an international investigation. do you think that this is possible? we are trying it out, we want this because we know here politicians and politics, even religion sometimes gets end the way of the investigation and we want an

impartial investigation and objective one cuz we want to know who can tell what balance that's on there. thank you very much. so as soon you can see the fight or the battle for accountability and justice continues, but so far the battle against accountability seems to be winning mariah. thank you very much for the update. santa honda live for stay in the bay roche. ah, it said, get the latest on the warn ukraine now in caves mer says russian air strikes own the capitol, have killed at least one person. 15 cruise missiles have reportedly been shot down by ukrainian air defenses. though. let's get more now from natasha butler, who's in cave. natasha. what's the latest from the capital and elsewhere on the front line? well, there's an ongoing, a, an alert across ukraine, including a here and key sirens is sounding
