areas in southern lebanon in response to rocket attacks. and for the 3rd straight night, israel uses forces against palestinian worshippers at alex, a mosque. ah, hello, i'm still than yay! live from doha. it's great to have you with us. you're watching l 0. in less than 24 hours, the escalating tensions between the israelis and palestinians are being played out in 3 fronts involving lebanon, a neighbor, technically a war with israel. in garza, israel's military says that it has hit sites belonging to hamas after intercepted several rockets fired from the strip. there are no immediate reports of casualties . israel has also launched airstrikes into parts of southern lebanon and claims to hit hamas targets there. the military says that it is retaliation for rockets fired into israel on thursday. local witnesses say the missiles had an open area near

a palestinian refugee camp. 6 ah, and the strikes come is, is really violence continues in the alexa mosque is lambs there in holiest sites. is really forces used baton on palestinian worshippers arriving from morning prayers. soon after hundreds of people gathered in the compound to protest against israel's actions. a prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised a strong response. goodbye. i mean, i've made it very clear that our enemy shouldn't testers. the internal struggle in a trail won't stop us from responding wherever and whenever necessary. oh my god, oh, we're calling for calm and we will act against the extremists who resort to violence . as for the aggression against us on other fronts, we will strike our enemies and they will pay a price for any acts of aggression. our enemy will discover once again that in

moments of truth, the citizens of israel stand united and unified and support the actions of the army and the security forces to defend our country and our citizens. our correspondence of covering all aspects of this story were alive in occupied east jerusalem. and in garza, but 1st let's had to southern lebanon. xena holder is entire which came under israeli fire zayna. tell us what you're seeing, what's happening, where your mom with my c. all right. we just lost audio on zayna. we'll go back to her in just a 2nd. let's hit the gaza though. we're not as scientists joins, as she's been covering events, there are no bring us up to speed on what happened overnight and gaza. yes. so says the air strike started at 11 about 11 local time hearing the gaza strip, or strikes or ease. really aircrafts to carried out air strikes along the

gaza strip from the north there know to the southern parts of the gods. the strip all at the same time, the targeting was on military camps in training, camps belonging to hammers, also agriculture lands. the air strikes were very intense and they were all at the same time later that in the early hours of don't, there was a very extensive striking to different areas and agriculture land. we have a lot of our civilian residential homes that have been damaged due to that targeting also a direct our hospital which is in almost inch as i in though a stern part of the gaza strip. a has been also there were, there were, are cases of panic among the children because there was a very, very close targeting to the area of the hospital, shrapnel ah,

fell a close to the hospital, windows broke and our ambulances rained to that, a hospital. but there were no casualties among the children or medical staff. there are also about an hour ago, there was another targeting for an 8 recall to land which caused a home to collapse. and there were a moderate or injuries among there is daniel, people of that, a, sorry, the civilians of that residential home are this. these were all are because of the targeting. at the same time, we have witness garages of rockets that have been fired from the gaza. strip towards south it is really towns we have seen anti aircraft mess sales i targeting israel, drones and aircrafts. ah, we have seen of course, a light,

a explosions at bombs from there, intercepting or of the iron dome, intercepting rockets that are being launched. so it has been a very, very tough night busy with air strikes. ah, for the past 2 hours there is, there was a very cautious calm. here we can hear the drones, of course, very, very high ah, above our heads. but there was a cautious call until it just broke about 5 minutes ago when there was a targeting in malika in the east to borders with garza ah, by mortar shells. no side in gaza. thank you very much for your reporting. nazena holder is entire southern lebanon. let's go back to using a u r. where those is really a tax happened as it was saying earlier. what can you tell us? well, this round of hostilities appears to be over. there is really army has stopped short

of declaring that its response to thursdays barrage of rockets has ended. but since the for a m that was when the initial airstrikes happened. there haven't been any further attacks. we are in the southern city of tire. behind me, a crater left by one of those strikes. we understand that there were approximately 4 strikes that targeted areas around this coastal city. now these really army is saying that it's hit hamas positions. here is where it is. believe the rockets were launched by the palestinian group, there has been no claim of responsibility for the rocket fire, but it appears that israel's response has been measured so far. the signals show that this is going to be a limited response and that the situation has now diffused because yesterday,

tensions were so high. in fact, it was described as the most serious a flare up along the border since the 2006 war between israel and has beloved. now again, there has been no claim of responsibility. but security sources believe the rockets were launched by palestinian groups in 11 on yet southern lebanon. is his ballade territory, or do they have any involvement at all? well, yes, has bella political and military group in lebanon? hold sway. here they are the dominant power in this region, and it is an open read that it is highly unlikely that palestinian groups would carry out such an operation without at least the tacit approval of his bella. and as bella does not hide, it's coordination and its cooperation with her mouth. in fact, the head of her master's political bureau. it's male honey. it is in lebanon,

on an official, or excuse me, on a private visit. they've even created assailed over the years, has been law, also issuing a statement before those rocket attacks saying that they stand by the palestinian people, the group has not confirmed or denied its involvement. but it has not condemn that . unlike the lebanese government, which has condemned the attack and said that they don't want lebanon lebanese territory to be used as a staging ground for any sort of attack that can t stabilize, of the situation in the country. but this is a political message if you like, from the palestinian groups and its allies, that if a israel continues its operations and attacks against palestinians, other france could open against israel. but more importantly, it also comes and the heels of these stepped up israeli attacks against iran and its allies in neighboring syria, iran vowing revenge. so this just shows you how easily the situation in

the region could be stabilized with all these groups threatening to open war more than one more than one front, as in a hotter, entire in southern lebanon. thank you very much. let's go to resume resource order in occupied east jerusalem. what is the israeli government been saying about all of this? i mean, all of this that has happened this week, whether it's rockets from southern lebanon, whether it's the violence in alex m asked, what are they saying? well, so for the did the clue research statement came from these rarely a prime minister, been german, met him yell and last night, right before the security cabinet meeting. he said that is really government, this tax, the status quo in alex a mas, however, he said that this right is not good to stand idle. and he sat and b n in the so called enemies of israel is right out here. so, but the med hoarding to that status quo in alex on was which is recognized by the

international community. the non muslims are along to visit alaska. alex are compound but they are not allowed to lose ship that. and many palestinians here say that recently built a nation of israel ease, but by disabled that is provided by did that these randy government, they're coming and getting inside the compound and also washington as well. i'm strategy security forces to open up the state. the space for that, they are also at tech in the palestine in the war schepers as well. so they said that israel is already preaching to state is go by this actions despite the narrative that adopt them. however, here, the general expectation among the that these read officials is that it's an approach of measurement. so a delusion for that. israel received the hacienda massey rallies and it is radish size is deeply divided over good judicial reform that is proposed by nathan. yeah. was government and it said that an escalation here were further further the

stabilize the company. that's why that the, the security members of the cabinet, if in is read a government are going through the measured state, men's and the expectation is that they're not going to further escalate the situation. resume. you're going to be monitoring friday. prayers for muslim worshipper is in what is already a very times context this weekend explain what are you expecting indeed. so it's really a security forces how limited the mobility, particularly east jerusalem and in some other palestine and cities as well. so today, just to come to the, the damascus game, this is one of the mean atkinson deluxe. a compound. i had to rule kilometers. and through this trees you could see that there were tons of the supports that is radish. security forces were station they were controlling people checking the identity cards of the people. so yesterday they did these rally government. i made

a decision to say that on friday, only man above 55 years old will be allowed to go for there friday, prior pay. and those weren't below 55. need to get a special permit from these rad alternatives, which is impacting the practically almost going to be impossible. women are loved by 4 man is restricted by the age of 55, which is dramatically limiting the palestinians mobility here. alex almost is not only a washing place for the palestinians would lead in jerusalem palestinians across palestine, particularly west bank, also didn't friday figures. they come here and they conduct the pre of here. but now it's going to be very, very much limited. so the general expectation here among the palestinians is that they are going to conduct a peaceful sy the pre you're here. and they said that it all depends on the reaction or the israeli good of the forces right across the ever around the

compound. there is a heavy is strategy, security forces present here. and if they decided to go had to hand it as the deed on wednesday and thursday. the see it is that this will and a distribution and it could get out of the control and any escalation, heat or so in potentially world to the a good a why? the conflict across israel and palestine and even at borders. i resume sir, dawn. thank you. so much for your reporting, thanks to all our correspondence in the region. now the us state department says the israel has legitimate security concerns and the right to defend itself. but it as also called for com. rosalyn. jordan has more on this from washington. well, there is great concern of both from officials here at the us state department as well as over at the white house. so there had been a glock of fear that took given the gal convergence of ramadan of passover, which is the 1st day and of

a holy week in the western christian calendar. that there would be an increase of violence around alex on mosque. this is a sum of what the a spokesperson for damp patel told reporters here at the state department earlier on thursday. we are concerned by the scenes out of jerusalem, and it is our viewpoint that it is absolutely vital that the sanctity of holy sites be preserved. we emphasize the importance of upholding the historic status quo at the holy sites in jerusalem. and any unilateral action that jeopardizes the status quo to us is unacceptable. and we call for restraint coordination and come during the holiday season. now there haven't been a any, a director conversations between state department officials and israeli and palestinian officials at this hour. but that said, the u. s. is going to be very much engaged with that is really an palestinian counterparts because of the concern of, of

a possible escalation of violence going into the weekend. that is not something that he was wants to see. and again, that message of trying to engage in restraint, trying to avoid escalation, trying to avoid provocations. certainly, those are all things that us officials would be delivering in terms of messages to the israelis and to the palestinians a stiff and usually the spokesman for the un secretary general. antonia gutierrez, has raised concerns about further escalation concerning the situation between lebanon and israel. i can show that we condemned to multiple rockets being fired from lebanon, inter northern israel. today, we are joel actors jackson, maximum restraint. the u. n. inter enforce in lebanon remains in contact with authorities on both sides of the blue line. and we urge the parties to liaise with our peacekeepers and avoid any unilateral action that could further escalate the

situation. still ahead on al jazeera, the biden administration blames former president donald trump, the chaotic withdrawal of troops from afghanistan. ah frank assessment just just me to give them the basic human rights not only in the camp but also inside the me, a map informed opinions 5 administration are very concerned about this development especially, or what it means for china power on the world states critical debate not only both the legal route for a place in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera analysis era. as the war in your brain moves into the 2nd year, we bring you the latest reports from both sides of the conference to people to experience

watching al jazeera a reminder of our headlines. this hour has been an exchange of fire between garza and israel. is really military hit targets in gaza on thursday night while it's iron dome defense system intercepted rockets fired from the strip on friday morning . and israel has also carried out your strikes on southern lebanon. it says it in mos targets, in response to rockets fired into israel on thursday, also more violence. and alex, a mosque, you know, might east jerusalem is really forces used the towns on palestinians arriving from morning prayers. afterwards, hundreds gathered in the compound to protest against israel's actions. the french president amended mccoy's urging chinese lead a shooting ping to reason with russia to help in the war and ukraine. mccoys on a 3 day state visit the china. robert bride reports french president emanuel macro been given the honor of a state visit. welcome by his chinese counterpart, she jim paid one of your most influential leaders coming to ask china to exert its

influence on russia to bring an end to europe's worst conflict. since world war 2 is sick, was conditional. who, what the you, i know that i can count on you to bring russia to reason. and every one to the negotiating table is this was she jane paying visiting russian president vladimir putin last month since moscow's invasion. more than a year ago, jane had stayed neutral and proposed a roadmap for a cease fire and peace talks. most western leaders, including macro, have criticize the plan, but the french president has been one of the more conciliatory voices among nato heads of state. 2 weeks before russia's invasion, he met president vladimir putin in the kremlin, under spoken to him several times by phone over the past year. many and now watching to see if macaroni and she together can provide a breakthrough, where others have failed goals on kinship check. china insists on

a peaceful resolution and as willing to work with front to maintain the rationality of the international community and avoid actions that could further escalate the crisis or let things get out of control. in a show of european unity, macro is accompanied by european commission president percy lavonne de leon, who has taken a much tougher line on china's failure to condemn the russian invasion. the europeans are looking at the very least to dissuade china from supplying russia with arms. we also count on china not to provide any military equipment directly or indirectly to russia, because we all know arming the aggressor would be against international law. and it would significantly harm our relationship to the signing of lucrative pray. deals on this trip is seen as beijing's attempt to maintain good european relations,

even as ties with the us. so i hope china will tell press the micro on the one hand and then tell madam of on the way, on the other hand that it is absolutely import to have a european perspective which may or may not be exactly identical to that of the united states. chinese and european leaders hoping, traditionally strong trade links can lead to a diplomatic breakthrough. rub, mcbride al jazeera at russia's chair says china has strong potential to serve as a mediator, but it sees no prospects for peace in ukraine. kremlin says the situation and ukraine is too complex and requires moscow to continue its military campaign. last month president, she's in pain, visited moscow. or the white house has blamed donald trump's administration for the u. s. military's chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan back in 2021 report submitted

to congress as president joe biden was constrained by his predecessors. decisions. however, it acknowledges the government should have started pulling out civilians earlier. president biden was widely criticized for the chaos surrounding the evacuations. when the taliban to cobble or white house correspondent kimberly halted, asthma white house is not taking any responsibility for what many have characterized as a chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan instead, passing the blame on the previous trumpet administration for not being more forthcoming. and the sharing of intelligence as well as preparations for withdrawal, saying that the by the ministration reached out repeatedly, but attempts to communicate were not responded to. we should point out that this report that was prepared and will be shared with both the state department. the pentagon to members of congress was handed to reporters with just 10 minutes prior to the press briefing, giving us little chance to look it over in advance of asking questions of the

national security council. but many report is referred to as a classic holiday news dumped, made it very difficult to sort of scrutinize, but what there seems to be in terms of the conclusion that it is acknowledged within the report, is that the white house is admitting that nobody predicted that the african forces would collapse in just 9 days. in other words, acknowledging a massive intelligence failure on the part of u. s. agencies. and even though the picture showed people rushing to escape and crowding the evacuation flights and times even falling from the sky, john kirby, the spokesperson for the national security council, says he says, for all the talk of chaos, he says he didn't see it. take a listen. the after action reviews are now being reviewed by members of congress to lay out things that could have gone better. nobody's saying that everything was perfect, but there was a lot that went right. and a lot of afghans are now living better lives in this country and other countries

around the world because of the sacrifices in the work of so many american government officials. so yeah, there's a lot to be proud of. in fact, the 5 in white house saying that what it's most proud of is that now 124000 afghan people are now living in the united states or other countries where they're starting new lives away from the scrutiny of the taliban. further, the white house saying that president biden is commander in chief of the u. s. military is enormously proud of that. what is not being acknowledged, however, is the fact that within that withdrawal was left behind. 7000000000 in u. s. military hardware. and the republican controlled at tennessee house of representatives has voted to expelled 2 democrats for their role and a gun control protest at the state house. congressman justin jones and justin pierson have called it's a dark day. the demonstration happened after a school shooting in nashville, in which 6 people, 3 of them children,

house republicans. a saying that today's expulsion of law makers who engaged in peaceful protest is shocking and democratic, and without precedent. he is also called on congress to revisit, issuing stronger gun laws, hoodie himself right behind those lawmakers in tennessee who have now been expelled . what happens their next? well, within 30 days, special elections have been to be called to replace these 2 seats. the 2 have been expelled, can stand in those elections. attacks in eastern democratic republic of congo have killed at least 30 people in the northeastern it tory province earlier this week. the united nation says the attacks are believed to have been carried out by an iso linked group. the allied democratic forces. nearly 500 civilians had been killed in the area since december. fighting between man, mars army and rebel groups have driven more than 5000 people into thailand, ty,
