the co op of military reservists as i say, slams. i know who we are or not an operation how mazda is launched and mergers, surprise attack, against the state of israel and its citizens. i ordered the 1st to full, to claim the settlement from the terrorist who had infiltrated and ordered a large scale mobilization of reserve. score the enemy will pay a prize. he has never known her. but for now that i've sees of georgia and celebration in some occupied territories, palestinians in ramallah and hebron if you will keep bite west back out on the streets in support of the fighters. gaza has witnessed many violent confrontations with these items, but all science indicates this one might be the west yet. how much fun does he have a short time ago and is really air strikes, hit the position right behind our report, a, you know, side and gaza as she was on it. or here's that moment.

all right. you know, please take cover. if you're in a position to do so safely, you can explain to us what were happening if you're not in a position to do so safe canada and please get to safety. no, it's okay. um this is a mess. so attack on palestine tower right in the middle of the city. you're going to take a moment to breathe. take a moment, you and your team take a moment to breathe. ok. just take a moment as we are looking at this picture. we are hours into this war between gaza and israel, and we have just witness live, what it is really el rey looks like on a populated area of gauze. a city, an air raid on a building, just behind or correspondent human side as she was reporting.

and shortly after that warning shot is real struck the area again flattening a high rise building just meters away from the houses 0 bureau, the building called the palestine tower. the is really military says it struck infrastructure belonging to senior homeless operatives. our team and gaza has confirmed that media offices and lawyers were located in that building. our correspondents are covering this unprecedented story around the region, you know, side as in gun garza, rob reynolds in ashville, on and southern israel. sarah, hi, ross isn't occupied east jerusalem. and need a abraham is in ramallah in the occupied westbank. you know, let's go to you 1st. how are you and your team doing much better. thank you. oh, okay. can you report this? um, what has happened over the last hour as the sun has set in gaza?

well, we're still shocked by the tremendous destruction that we've seen in from or done by the, the meso targeting of palestine tower. again, let me give you a little bit of context about palestine tower. this is the 2nd largest building in because the strip or it goes to city in particular, it is on 11 story building with 100 apartments. it's a residential building, but some of the apartments are the media offices and low your offices in, in that building. the building is right in the middle of gauze, the city in a very densely populated area. when that when the mess side warning mess tile was, was fired towards the building, it was really

a surprise to all of us. but the significance about this is that the, the short amount of time that was given to the residents of that building, to leave that tower before they fully destroyed that tower, at just a couple of minutes. not more, not exceeding, uh, 10 minutes, maybe even less. uh, to be honest, i was in great shock and, and, and, and that was really frightened to actually comprehend what was happening there. but this is how it is when israel is carrying out trades on residential buildings and towers here in because a strip. now since the is really a prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has announced the launching of the iron swords operation in response to the accept floats. operation a carried out by a cassandra gates on israel. the israel air strikes has been taking place in

different areas across because the strip but in these last few hours, they have intensive slide, particularly in gods. the city again cut and gaza city is, is considered the most urbanized uh city. its the place where or the city where you can find most offices, media offices, uh industrial uh or companies or, and markets and malls. uh, other places in garza, are fully uh or puppy or over crowded and over populated. yes. but because the city being the city or the heart of the gaza strip, when there is targeting the targeting of one of the building one story building or one tower, it causes great destruction in the entire area around those areas.

you know, war ambulances calls to the scene, and that's number one. and, and what have you seen over the last hour in terms of search and rescue around the building? or is it perhaps too soon after a strike like that? we've been hearing from medical uh sources they have been telling us that it is very difficult for them to reach any targets a place they are trying to reach the target of places. but they are not able to to reach these targets of places. as soon as the targeting happens, 1st of all, because of prior in the day, 2 ambulances, a place to ambulances, and the 2 hospitals, one in the north, and one in the south, where targeted uh, those medical crews and ambulances that tried to get to the edit crossing after it was bombarded by is really uh aircraft is where, where,

where shaw asked and be where and saw your task. so they were very, they were very afraid to approach the location and that's why it took the medical teams a long time to get to these places. the ministry of health has not a faith has until this moment, the number that was given to us prior about 2 hours ago at keys. and that just because they have already have had a lot of difficulties getting all the through numbers since the strikes are taking place in different areas. the medical cruise, again, are not being able to reach the targeted areas or even civil defense teams. people who are in those areas, civilians are risking their lives to go and help the people and bring out the casualties in any air strikes. but what i can tell you for sure now and confirm is that uh, just looking at that area. also depaula sign tower that was uh,

just after that tower was destroyed, a small wheat adjust, so towers in buildings has been partially destroyed. we will definitely hear in the upcoming hours and see a lot of apartments that has been very, very much destroyed from that destruction. i am this side reporting from gaza, thanks to you and your team for bringing us all that coverage. let's talk to rob reynolds know who's an escalade in southern israel. rob or the palestinian commandos? still operating still on is really soil around the gaza strip. yes, we have not heard from any official. is really military sources that they have uh, pushed the of the home us fighters out of any of the a number of villages and towns in southern israel,

adjacent to the gaza strip. yet they are making this according to the government, making this their primary mission at the moment. the 1st thing, 1st order of business in this iron swords operation or war that the is really government has declared here in nashville on. we have heard repeatedly in the last half hour or so, sounds concussions, from the direction of the gaza strip, which is about 25 kilometers from where we are standing right now. now, earlier today we saw a steady stream of ambulances coming out of asheville on, in this direction and moving north towards the cities of the ashed. uh and uh, and until a be where there are probably, you know, more amble um health care services and uh, and hospitals. um,

so it could be that the, uh that many of those can as also these are we've been talking about now at least $100.00. israel is dead. hundreds wounded. many of those, or at least a certain proportion of those may have come from this city of ash dog, which is which is close a bit like the, the biggest city closest to the gaza strip. and therefore, within the range of the intermediate missiles were fired by him us. so we don't know exactly how many people might have been or but we've seen a lot of videos and pictures of, of people seem to get carried away on stretchers of buildings on fire, of obvious early lots of damage in the city of ash. go on. tell and, and run their said or the landing going instead of it is real. i haven't seen or heard any. is any rockets from

a mos in several hours since dark? this is full and i haven't seen any. i've heard the the concussions from the south, and i believe that's probably either is really artillery or air strikes. but the latest was several hours ago when we saw the cod trails of numerous of rockets fired by from us. and then most of them being destroyed by the iron domains i missile system. and i also mentioned 0 that later in the day we saw and are still seeing numerous is really army vehicles packed with soldiers moving south, moving in the direction of gaza, exactly what their mission is exactly what they're been told due to accomplish. there we don't know, that's rob reynolds reporting from astronaut about 45 kilometers from the gaza strip. wrong, thank you very much. let me turn to the abraham now who was in ramallah for us near to the occupied westbank is a distance away from gauze,

obviously. and therefore from the fighting, how is howard today's events being watched and perceived and felt where you are? let's not forget that the fact that the west bankers cannot go into guys law is because israel imposes a siege on the besieged scot, this trip and prevents palestinians from accessing it without and is really made it city permits. and even accessing its requires access in jerusalem. this is also something palestinians cannot do without in his way be perfect, but people here and they consider themselves one nation fighting the same is really military occupation. this is why when the 1st so how about this morning launch the attacks? they were ecstatic. they were out in the streets in celebrations. you would ask why,

basically they are not celebrating that, that they are celebrating the fact that for the 1st time in so long, they feel like they have the upper hand. that not only did they launch the attack, but it was also very surprising. it was also it put israel on hold or taking it by surprise. and they feel like this is kind of had a big deter. these really actions when we talk about the history of the actions we talk about a decades long, is really made it to the occupation. you would ask, how is that manifested in every single detail of palestinians lives? if you want to get married, you have to get these really read just 3 to allow you to register your for and husband. but that's not a allowed when you want to have a child, you might be stopped by emily. 3 check point when you're in your home, you might be surprised by and this really made it to the, the do might be a journalist covering a story and then you will get shots and there's no accountability for that. so

these are the small details and processing his lives, but these are, that are also the big details, the house demolitions, the fact that they are that are a freedom of movement is restrictive. the fact that their lives are being confiscated for the benefit of is really such as the resources are being taken. when we talk about walter, for example, if we use c just when they get us, brittany sacraments are meters that way from the palestinian community. they can enjoy pools, they can enjoy doubles and triples. it's much more the amounts of water that palestinians are getting. so when you talk about occupation, it is in every single detail of palestinians live lives. and this is why they believe that they have themselves now to flight back again as well. right. and it abraham reporting from ramallah and the occupied west bank. thank you very much. let's go to sarah. hi. right. sorry. you're joining us from occupied east jerusalem

. give us the state of play as far as the is really, authorities are concerned. both are both politically and the military plans right. on the political level and government level of the is really cabinet is holding a special meeting that's happening at the moment. we're still waiting for the latest lines on not what we do know is israel has to cut a 48 hour states of emergency. it's one that citizens, especially along the border with garza to remain in doors to remain safe and follow instructions because it has declared this as a rule. we also have seen that the number of injuries have increased again and the statement. it's increased to at $985.00. this is riley injuries. we're still waiting on a confirmation of the latest number of death is ready. the media is reporting a 100, but that hasn't actually come from an official source yet. uh,

the army has also confirm to us. yes, it says correct. fever puts out the and uh, what the palestinians in gauze were saying is correct. so it is riley soldiers as well as civilians have been taken care says and into gaza along side over all of what's happening at the moment. there's also a couple of, uh, situations in a couple of the specimens. these rarely settlements along that for the where people are also being held kinda held captive rather in the lights as we have probably about an hour ago was that they were trying to negotiate with those palestinian fights as we still don't know what the latest is on that but more importantly, the is really all position lead. uh, yeah. le pete has come out saying now is not the time to to be all seen. questions on who is to blame as to well, is riley's woke up to in the early hours of the morning. he says it's a time for you to see, but he's also said that he's, i spoke with his ray,

the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and they have agreed to form a, a, a government that will include this position at least temporarily, to see them through this. and to show unity moving forward, obviously because of the situation. uh huh. and then they said, the politics and all the differences in the last few months to can be put aside. of course, with israel has been saying, continuous anti government probably tests every single week via is riley's and across several fifties because of changes. the government was attempting to bring a destroyer uh, changes, but so many is riley said it was a in the opposite. opposite to a israel, which it considers itself as a democracy, and it would scapes the government more power. so right now the, it's ready to government. these randy ministry is saying,

but they all going in hobbs, they will do everything they can. and one more thing to add to that, this is really ministry rather hasn't come funds, whether it will be uh, sending a foot soldiers on the grounds into god for they have ruled it out. sorry to stay with me. i'm looking at the pictures of the gaza strip, where we see continued strikes in the gaza strip. can tell you right now whether that's because a city, although it did look like it, given just the, the density i'm being told that is guys the city, given the density of the, of the, of the buildings. sorry. if we, if we think back to what's happened since 330 g m t and it's now 1630. so we're 13 hours into this. we've seen palestinian homos commandos break into israel from gaza. so that means they somehow defeated and evade is really this is really

barriers and is really surveillance to make it into israel, where they attacked multiple localities all around the gaza strip. and as we speak, they are still holding is released captive. some of them both soldiers and civilians have been taken to gaza. others are being held captive in israel. and that is absolutely extraordinary. and i think if we had told anybody, you know, 14 hours ago that this is what we'd be talking about today. they've been very surprised just just the psychological impact of this are. can you speak to that a little bit? how is it being absorbed by the is really public and i do appreciate that. it's still, obviously very early in all of this. of course it says ali, but so it's very difficult not to draw parallels with what happened 61 years ago. the such and the the sentiment amongst is riley's, i've been,

we've been monitoring his riley media. we've been hearing from a full not as riley soldiers that took part in the, of the 6th of october war in 1973. that said, they were shots and never thought it would happen again. all these years later. so sidelines it shocks confused. it wasn't nearly as of the morning. many of those were, would have been in bed. some of those that you had seen that were captured what looked like, even though they allegedly a soldiers, but they was looked like they was still wearing that pajamas in the as riley governments focus has been towards normalization of relations with all the arab countries. and there's been talk through the mediation with us that may be cited. you rave, you might join some of those countries that we'd like to normalize. relations with israel. how it's a suitcase. i also bowl that's the question that many people, all skin 0, many emotions, right?

now because today is the last day of the quotes, which is one of the main jewish a week. so the that is mocks and the jewish kind of cost. when that will happen 51 years ago, it was all also on what is considered the judge condra the day of atonement or you and couple. so it's hard not to draw those power of those where they feel that those emotions and those memories that they would like to for gets, have come flooding back and when they least expected. this of course of the is riley minute treat is a, is the, has the behind when it comes to a gauze the bought, it really was sidelines and it seems by the level of infiltration whitfield king and not just crossing the of a threw that boy the book going into settlements into towns and some of them still that the minute treated confirmed, they said they reckon it was between 200 to 300 thomas thing and fights is that

manage to influence. right. and not just one area, but that's pretty much the all of that southern side. so you know, the question is, what will they do next then on? that's what that me. thing is being helpful. there had several me things, but the response has been smaller and there i say it, some of these right is already saying it a failure on the house of these ready to governments. so high right reporting from occupied easters. and thank you very much for that. sorry, i will speak you a little later. let me bring in early as far hot you are a retired military general and a counter terrorism specialist who are joining us from a route today. can this be looked at as anything other than a massive failure from israel's military intelligence? yes, says the 11th day and finish on services. is there a mainly the monitoring, unfinished items such as gold come uh huh. uh,

it should have more than 30 just of all the aesthetic sure to do to get his nation, the bench, the units and the, the training the oh, how much the, the, the modem. uh, situation. uh, either they have limited information on a day or a better stay made to this situation or come up. and bush was the main thing. great saying that they did not present to the rent to come out and finish on some of the based on that to deploy the forces and the dns up. so uh, i'm not afraid i have the, i guess the come out of the, the, somebody come on the line on any of the that's the, the small a small groups of the soldiers that about to so they need to. busy commtrans such is such that back from the city,

they don't think they didn't expect this up back in time. they me is this things i know that the to come from this effect. and then so i'm going to feel as if somebody shut bark, which they use to the gentleman the day. so every commander and i must have that you have them, they so significant many adult them very simply. they see the job, but a solid bunch of a lot, the before change from a the a c. and how does it live? do you see on so many of the mazda ones you have dated. ringback the 7th, it never shut them by the. let me ask if i could jump in some the. 06. yes. as we speak, how most commandos are active and deployed. it is really towns around the gaza strip. civilians might very well be at their mercy. what challenges does that present for israel's military right now?

that is a good challenge. um, but does that for how much is the 1st time that they go through all the way to supplement with the civilians and out to they did was the videos that. ringback short for most of them at 50 years they had they have, they used to be, i'm the become thrown up. is that a army on the is it a police forces? and so it could be part of the defense sign when they uh, i mean, the game should say videos. and so we don't know if the, if they are, but it's been sort of such a situation to, to deal with civilian using international law or something like this. so just to say the advantage and to take them back to the to make it swap those prisoners later on. so i think that. busy this is this situation now, but it's a good that and the more um,

more the discussion and in order to know exactly what are the intentions of the, how much the, the initial patients, what if anything got the deal? do they want to proceed to more or more extradition or to the district take on this to the end of this and you know, and the stop the but she think we have to, with the, the, the, the coming here coming days ago to see what things are going on because you mention, so you mentioned negotiations because we were reporting earlier that i'm us now has, is really soldiers and civilians that they've taken back the gaza in addition to the civilians that they are, that they may well be holding. and those is really towns that they're still operating in what can is real do. again, going back to this idea of negotiations. what's that going to mean for as early as they want to get their soldiers and citizens back?

for example is the same for both sides, so it isn't i'm from us and it can be.
