right? you know, please take cover. if you are 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, can then please get to safety. no, it's okay. um this is a mess. so a typo on palestine tower right in the middle of the city. you take a moment to breathe, takes 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 gaza city, an air raid on

a building just behind or a correspondent human side as she was reporting or and shortly after the warning shotwell israel struck the area again. the flattening a high rise building just meters away from our bureau called the palestine tower is really military says that it struck infrastructure belonging to senior homos operatives. our team and gaza has confirmed the media offices and lawyers were located in that building almost as a, as by a barrage of rockets, a tele v, as fighting continues between the group and is really forces. a mazda is fired, a 150 walk into the city, some 70 kilometers away from gaza. some rockets managed to hit buildings in the city in the early hours of saturday as well. your assignments have been sounded in the city throughout the day. our correspondents are covering this unprecedented story around the region. you know, site is live in gaza. sarah. hi,

ross isn't occupied east jerusalem mid to abraham. you're in ramallah in the occupied west bank will come to you shortly 1st. so let's start with you on the, you'll know what's happening in gaza now have those is really rates continued. yes, let me give you an update of the recent is really bombardments to residential homes, have been destroyed. they have been targeted by an is really our strike in russell that's in the southern part of gauze the strip. they were targets it without prior deltas. and local sources, say local sources from their say that and the number of casualties between kills and injuries have resulted from those to targeting the targets. how the, the homes happened to be in a should boot camp in odessa, one of the mostly does densely populated camps in the south and gaza

strip city of it f off. prior to that city wide home in hon units, of course, the home was empty was also totally destroyed. we have another targeting just a short while ago in the 2 neighborhoods that's in the south or in does the city of targeting of that home we, we're hearing from local uh, sources, an eye witnesses in the area that a number of casualties has always has also fallen now these residential homes that i have just mentioned, they were targeted without prior notice, which means that no mess style or warning mess i was hit, they were not even told to evacuate their homes. the ministry of health has given a latest update saying that at least 20298 people have been killed and over

a 1600 has been injured at the they have also warrant of the capacity of the policy in hospitals, in, in different areas of this trip it has hold on a more people to come and do needs uh with blood and uh, uh, and also uh to add to the recent updates is uh, the, uh, the, uh, the statement of, uh, the ease really energy minister who said that israel was top feeding gaza with electricity. now israel seeds gaza with a 100 megawatts of electricity that the palestinian authority pays for in order to feed the gaza strip. uh, while the sole power plant to gauze the only provides 80 megawatts of electricity for this trip, which means that we owe or the gaza strip,

will be witnessing only 4 hours of electricity a day. this also raises great concerns for the health sector here. e got the knowing that if electricity is cut from guns, they can use that. they need to work on the supply of the generators to supply electricity to the hospitals, which causes another kind of crisis. yeah, and that aligns with what many of the goals are residents that we interviewed have told us some telling us that they've already started experiencing power cuts. that's you know, side reporting from gaza even as we watched the live pictures of gaza there. thank you very much. you and the new, the abraham is in ramallah, knew the ripple effects of what's happening and gaza. i assume we're being felt in the occupied westbank. what can you tell us? yes, because both areas en, more, are under the, is really oppression. these really practices and use radio occupation?

yes, they are geographically separated. yes, palestinians need permits. who are from the the occupied to us by god. what from the besieged cause this trip to visit one another, but they're still considered one. jason, this is why we've seen attention escalate here in the occupied to us bank with for palestinians. one who has been killed by is ready for his fire and more than 90 wounded. according to the latest medic close reports, now, one of those who killed his body has been taken by these weighty forces as part of that is where the policy to take the by these all palestinians who it deems are responsible for attacking is ray news. and basically keep them for future negotiations with the palestinians when it comes to swap deals. and here we are looking at the potential one because the families of detainees are looking at this opportunity as a way to release some of the palestinian. that to me is who are serving life sentences in his way, the jails that they're looking at how mouth,

basically swapping some of those as soldiers who have been captured today. and this is something that's not new, it's happened before with and is where the soldier who has been released in exchange for 1027 palestinian prison. there is that was back in 2011. but let me tell you, is some of the conversations i've been having with palestinians here. some were saying, when i ask them, what do you think of those images that you know you have fighters attacking is really there like, but the world does not pay attention. when are pictures, when we are getting to the you look at your brain as an occupied territory. they is sympathize with, they will canadians. but when it comes to palestinians, they don't do that. another person, something very interesting. he said, you don't expect to appeal to the sense of morality, of your occupier, so you need to show forth basically to pressure as well to ends as occupation. so

this is kind of the sentiment that i've been sensing here in the occupied westbank of. yes, as, as you mentioned, we are expecting a different effect on the situation to escalate here as well. no, to thank you for your reporting from ramallah some interesting perspective there. let's talk to sarah. hi roger. joining us from occupied east jerusalem is that is really cabinet meeting now over there. and it was actually a false to ends because of around the rockets that were fired towards televi. it was ongoing for quite a while, so we're still waiting on anything new that came out so that now the number of desktop increase in the moment. what we have so far is it 7 will kills instead of you. but of course, that number could change and we're talking in total about 200 at least is riley's killed since the beginning of this war, that sausage earlier this morning, i just wanted to, uh,

go through some of the developments that are coming out from the is riley side, so i oh yeah. when i spoke to you in the last uh, news show we had uh the, uh, uh, a situation of his riley that had been house caps. it was over, but that seems to have been conflicting information. but what we do now apparently is that it's not over and that all multiple situations of is right is being held. captive dots is on the is ray. the side in these is riley settlements by some of those palestinian fights is that has in full traits is and ended up not going back . so just so you know, that is still on going. we've also had a prime minister benjamin netanyahu as well, has offered the same agency unity government with the opposition lead to the peet, as well as one of the head of the opposition parties, bettany guns, so they want to move forward with that. they both spoken about putting the differences aside in the face of the situation of what's happening now, of course,

for months there's been a lot of political wrangling on that side of things. but right now they're sending a very defined message with the kind of reaction we're about to see. it's just come through the, the defense minister and i quote says, we will change the face of reality in gaza. is from now not just gives you an idea as a kind of language that they using that this is not just a simple operation that we're talking about, hey, this is not what we've seen in this is for example, the a few months ago when they talk to some of the leaders of how mass a in a garza, this is a foot long, a scale that they are planning to take and effectively, you know, the right precautions will be felt like he said in use. it's a con, people are concerned, of course,

as to why this is going to leads to what kind of poss this is going to lead, say, sorry, i'm just going to repeat that quote from the defense ministry of israel quote. we will change the face of reality in gaza years from now when he is referring. if i'm following you correctly, he is referring to the military retaliation that is really is currently drawing up . what do you know if anything about those plans at present that was some indication earlier. 1 no confirmation, of course, but that it was mentioned that potentially is ray, the foot soldiers could and so that would effectively means that a garza would not just be hit by a but by ground. and by see we have seen it in the past. but of course, the kind of a tax carried out by how mass wasn't on this scale that we seen. now it's really

shocks is riley, is not just the politicians, but also the military. they clearly would not per pads for this kind of attack incessantly. nothing as early as of the morning and certainly not on the day that is considered the day of restful is raisal a very specifically for jews which is the sabbath as. 8 as the last day of one of the, of the jewish holidays, which is the week of the call that they've been mocking to this past week. so it really side blinded them in the situation. now of course, i mean we're talking about one of the biggest uh, countries arises, it's receive some of the biggest military aid from its long time ally, us and, and you have home us who, yes, the arms and they have supports external support. but, you know,

to be able to carry out such an attack on a wise scale. we're not just talking about crossing through. but along with that boy, the in deep into is really towns. and also what we're seeing desperately is, well, with these real quick so of flying over i just want to mention because earlier for any of i've used had been watching this in the early hours of this morning. that was real kits that was going past jerusalem. of course they were intercepted by the i and i'm a, an see miss all system the israel has been often so successful in intercepting those real kits. but also in the what we're seeing. and this last now is not just tell of eve of being a targeted, but also of the central is riley town. so this is not something on the outskirts. this is very much in the heart of israel, sarah. hi, rod reporting from occupied east jerusalem. thank you very much,

sar. if there's any major developments or will let us know the political leader of hamas is male head media has issued a video statement and he says that almost as military operation will continue beyond gaza will find the better. i mean, how does that? i'll tell you the phone started from guys that it, when i about a little more flexibility to see different westbank 1948. did it go to then our people laid stuff across. i was calling to see anyone this. whatever is the battle that's in the out of i'm out on the, on the, the thing is all the guys, this is the battle in the are and most the nation's same opinion for that isn't that it is the battle for what if i last time it is a bad thing for the it is a bad thing for a lot. so most off the yet, this also is you're a senior political analyst, more one,

the shar joins us live from paris. more one you were commenting when you were on the show last hour that israel's previous military responses. right. and was like this in the past have not actually changed the fundamental dynamics a play. and i would like to read to you again the statement that we just heard from the is really defense minister. he says, quote, we will change the face of reality in gaza. years from now. he was talking about this military operation that they're now planning as retaliation. it sounds like israel is saying this plan is going to be very different. yes. clearly they are because of the quality of this very i truck i guess is around was also very different. so you would expect is to use the same logic, but using the boss and what i was saying in the past, i was stuck with this logic of retaliation. you know, with more force and more power and more wireless and apparently with collective

punishment. i guess an entire population such as that, that is living in the big open present for the cause of i think that exist in perhaps the motor company running. what of that sort of a tentative measures against a person who's never worked before? the only 2 things that i can think of, but is there a also might use some of them it usually the past is mass expulsion of the kind of seniors. and that certainly is the 3 most of some of those. and these are the government or next station, or much of us time or the occupied territories. that's also an option. but none of these in the past have been resolved. is there a dilemma? as long as i parted, i'm going to use them exist as being the kind of city and would continue to desist . see what is there it is missing is a very simple lesson. it's blurring, it's clear, it's very simple. and if you look at the past 50 years, says that the very war that we talked about earlier, which is october, water of 1973 is right,

understands only the language of force or even logical force. only after egypt launched a shorter of 1973, a very painful war for what a junction is. there it is. this is read then withdrawal from egyptian 30 tories, only after the surprising lebanese resistance of the 1980s after these really invasion of living on. this is red withdrawal for much of liberal. only after the palestinians mounted an incredible resistance. after the after the 2000 and the 2nd the father did is read, read the priority out of the gaza strip, an old extend legal settlers. so clearly the lessons for the palestinians is, is there a will not act except under duress under the logical force. that is the lesson that is there and has diffuse best of the world for the past 50 years by contrast. and i took sickly. daniel's understands, oh, but the language of course,

they have proven over the past 70 years. that didn't seem to understand the logical who's ready for whatever it is. i use it for a model that they continue to desist and even more forcefully than before. we're expecting us president joe biden to speak at some point, probably this our momentarily. we don't have an exact timing on it so far. the us diplomacy, the language has been what you would expect. they stand steadfast, behind eggs or israel. they can condemn this as a terrorist attacks when i say this, i mean the, the home us incursion into israel and everything that we've seen today from home us . what will you be looking out for in that speech to see if there's anything different perhaps in the us position this time around? they need it. the response from the united states is like the immediate, the response from bit strange opposition, which is running around the flag and you know, supporting your partners as it were. so i think the immediate reaction is very much

expected. we're going to see general gas who is now in your position and his right to support that to the all because he wants to join the road that also basically launch the water in 2014, i guess guy. so i think present by the close himself i questions i missed when immediately you know, extend has to is right and so forth. and so they gotta take but then what? now we only know it's not a hedge of the fact that the united states is, is there as close as spark. it's, it's sponsor, it's, it's page and it's, it is, it's godfather. and it has, has been so for that more than 50 years. that's where the united states started. it's not like it's a credible 3rd party. is the united states is israel's major supportive. so whatever it is there, as does, the united states does not judge is read on the medicine which option. but because of the kind of activities that is worked on the behalf of the united states, and then at least it's a client of the united states and then at least and so it's ok,

whatever it is that it does, including the legal supplement, study, pressure of the seniors, the closures, the human rights violations, the exposures on the phone. so for what, when the palestinians, the occupied by his right act, been the resistance against the occupier. then immediately the interest immediately demonized and immediately pushed through the margins of history to say their dog gone for anything and we must support or out of it. so the hypocrisy of it, when use to hold your brain, that has been basically invaded by russia and you call them freedom fighters. but you pull it up at a city and terrorists when there is this, they don't get by or not for the past 2 years as an ukraine. but the, for the past, 55 years, you called him thirst. if that's not take walker's age, i don't understand what it is, because even for the united states, got the west bank or the city and then it goes on, okay. they continue to be all people. there's more than what you define them. so

either the united states and the western legitimate struggling, i guess, will corporation or the hell not the need that i didn't where i'm pressure is read without 5 minutes to give up its occupation to be occupied by the side. i'm allowed to suggest a degree of freedom and justice tomorrow i'm a shower reporting live from paris. thank you very much. my once a, joining us on the show will speak to you again, and it was a 0, spoke to the director of the i'll, she fell hospital and gaza. he's described as a dire medication medical situation in the besieged, gaza strip down with the kids stuff. there's no doubt the strip has been under tight siege for 17 years. the medical sector has been paying the heaviest price for the siege. we have sharp shortage of medical supplies and appliances, namely those badly needed in the emergency rooms and intensive care unit. many of those we're receiving are in critical condition and need. i see you treatments and

we have declared a state of emergency across medical facilities. the numbers are huge, which cannot be handled by the already suffering sector. patients with chronic diseases are dying due to the absence of medicine. we cannot even see them treated in the west bank or elsewhere, as the israeli occupation forces are not only denying their departure, but also preventing medical supplies from entering gaza. so we are doing all we can with what we have the a. okay, let's speak to the boy. your doctor, you are living in garza, you are joining us. live this hour. what has been, what have you done today? have you been called upon to practice medicine, or have you been able to put your relatives in a position of safety? what situation a, do you find yourself in right now? well, this is not the 1st time under such as situation. this is my 1st major. i mean, it's a conflict and goes a, as a person and the 1st as a father of 2 because i've been away for 5 years. uh,

during the incident period in which the $20.21 um, this collision happened. but that's been a very busy day and um, i have a press on exhausted my. i didn't that is toes a until this moment people behave like the waiting for the response of i wanted. there is why it hasn't been auditing with the i'm counted t for dictates, and this is the 1st time that they have had to face. but if i cushions x one, the progressions from within the, for the kids don't go fishing and actions. and the person a little um, i had to go to the hospital to see if there is anything i can do. i'm out and then turn them in as in delta, and then you don't as you branch. so there's not much that i can do in terms of surgery, but i want to see if there is anything that i can do. i donate to the blog. um i went to the closest uh does it even need us to grocery store to uh provide the that

i can uh buy of grocery because business experience have to take it on here that things could go sideways very fast and unexpectedly. and um, what was the situation at the hospital when you went there? and it was because of the distorting goes on is targeting, it's good, it's kind of distance of 252, at least, and the $1600.00 plus one that. so you could imagine the number of attempts and the number of people searching for the loved ones and the us. but then in addition to people who came to a to, to, to, to support these. some of these people don't come to that to donate to blogs. and some people who have seeking in the fields and the most pathetic vicinity because they believe that tests. but those are relatively safe, especially people who are living by the east and both of the guys and this has been that's the end. and the previous was in addition to the media stuff and dozens of

comedy, minute on june of this. and for you personally, we know that more is rarely strikes on gaza are highly likely, if not certain. what is your plan? how do you deal with it? well, i started a budget about 16, nothing. my house minded to that to you can't locate the point that as far as the way you put on uh, husband products at home uh, windows, in case of shopping tables i buy. so what about pan? like uh, i think it was tough because um, once it's gone, it's gone. i am working now on this end, but today's this, this is why i can speak to you over the internet, but uh, all this, but my neighbors have no uh, such uh, a backup plan. um and it is not telling what that is coming next when what have you experienced any power cuts so far? i yes, the phone has been away since monday. um and it's not expected to come back soon.

uh it does. uh is already under the 50 percent. um show it to you per month since it has been client id since like 2008. but now this is a foreign minister has officially declined cutting off. uh, does this apply for the city and the fuel does everything does it usually does. so just a few, a few days, 2 or 3 days at most, and unless, until it opens the boat does the little cut bog down to it also close as soon as we will. right. but it's 100 percent. uh, this distance of uh, electricity. and you can imagine how this impacts thinking was sort of substitution of hospitals and all sorts of services uh, connections internet. so what, so ever so yeah, we are coming got some video holidays. uh so i, i believe it belonged to boy a doctor living in gaza. thank you for sharing your experience with us on alpha 0 today. we appreciate that. all right,

we're going to take a very short break. we'll be back in just a moment with continuing coverage of this latest gaza israel. more right here on the hello. that was not in the middle east and live and we've had breezy conditions around the gulf. that's thanks to shamal wind that's blowing down. taking up some dustin causing hazy sunshine, the wind is easing now in time for that ground pre race in kata, and those are fine, dry, sunny and warm conditions will extend through some monday, launch each wide cause much of the region, just a few showers coming to western parts of you haven't touching into southwestern areas of saudi arabia as well, with some heavy rain across more coastal areas of the black sea, a bit of a wintry mix moving across the quote. this is now as we move to the north of africa,

we're still talking about the heat. places like the canary islands, as well as morocco, a little bit cooler, as we edge across the libya. rain coming in here as well as egypt and the wind is still the story taking up that's the hard dust as we go sunday into monday. heavier rain as well, posting across the democratic republic of congo, you can see as more intense thunderstorms, affecting western areas. mock launch lead. why the for the south, we go with lots of heats coming in for places like bought swan an upper running thing. the temperature went above the average the on sunday, but it does come down on monday with a chance of thunder re showers on choose day. as the stories of hope and inspiration schultz documentary from around the world. that celebrates colleagues and resilience in times of

the out the phone and i'm charles times you want to rate for hindsight, dramatize the pub cost from i'll just here to invest facing re here from some of history's blogs, notable women and unconventional and extraordinary office. i am 40 that god of the communist revolution of everyone in china, new my space. you've heard all of them power it's time you have from these and 6 of hindsight is out. know, subscribe way. if you listen to pub cast, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the death toll from homeless is military operation against israel has risen to nearly 400. his real says at least 200 of it citizens have died and palestinians report the equal number of deaths. israel has launched multiple airstrikes on the guns, a strip and the last hour, so it says it was targeting from us affiliated targets. earlier in the day, the arm group home us launched an unprecedented land and error. military operation against israel fights has breached the guns. a barrier entered 3 is really cities and towns near the border. 200 is really, is, are reported to have been killed, more than 700 injured, a 198 palestinians have reportedly been killed in and around gaza. the deputy head of home office political bureau says fighting will only expand from here. sally el

rey says they've taken enough is really captives to free all palestinian prisoners in israel's jails. well, no family. this is not a hit under on operation. we started all out that we expect type thing to continue and defy. think from the expand we have one prime target, our freedom and the freedom of our holy sites. are people have the right to live and freedom, rid themselves of those at 80 occupation and to safeguard the holy sites? we will continue to fight until we are rewarded with victory, freedom and independence. this is a method for freedom and defense of our holy sites. the provocative storming by the jews and to the alexa mazda. that's a great thing. the whole of sites with their feet and jewish rituals apart from the southern man. and i'm just sage the guys, the end of the city and present i saw. so. this is our main target. we have been preparing for this war. we cannot accept all this to continue the siege, the guns,

i must. and we will do all what we can at any price though to start our freedom while we manage to kids and capture and many is $80.00 soldiers. the fight thing is still on as to our prisoners, i say your freedom is looming large. what do we have in hand would set you free? the longer fighting continues, the higher the number of prisoners will become almost spiders involved in a surprise operation recorded the attack with cameras. and within minutes of firing the 1st rockets videos of the offensive started circulating. some our official media eclipse from hamas is media arm showing the extent of infiltration and so is really territory of the house that has more. and this is how come us once to portray its authorization against these read the movements media um, documented the moments fights as breach the guns up with defense, members of the cosigned brigades, place explosive, along the section of defense surrounding don't place,

then they do to need the devices, lots of smoke, evidence of the sexes, the fight this cross into is really territory some by fruit. all those by multiply, pardon vehicles must also release this clip of the man entering is really using get bottom also. once inside is really territory, the fight does destroy almost vehicles and this clip forces ready soldiers also for tank. i've got the confirmed briggs was accompanied by ministry reporters who provided live updates on social media platforms. the oldest soldiers in these tanks were taken captives by our cassandra gates fight to advise we sold with the jump is really sold, just taken prisoner has been distributed online and this video several captives can be seen. some of those scenes here. publication is not clear exactly. how about us media. um has also published footage. it says shows cause some brackets.

drones talking is really minutes. we check points and then separate. i sold is really troops, seemingly relax, is really sol just felt in the find themselves in the middle of the war. they didn't expect from us regularly publishes videos of its attacks. but this time, it seems keen to show the scale desperation frame by frame the hash and i just got off those that mailed to you as the director of the institute of media research and training of the lebanese american university. and he discusses the information we're playing out with the release of videos from these attacks by home, us as the troops that are going in that are conducting operations, they have cameras. the cameras are as important as the machine guns, as the weapons that they are carrying. they everything is seems to have been prepared in advance. so the media operator, they need to professionals have been at the table with the military officials

climbing this. so this is a major shift in how these type of how the, the media operation has been conducted. that's, that's the 3 digit level. but also at the narrative level, there's that there's a major shift. uh, the narrative in the past has been highlighting the, the victimized palestinians, the tests of the destruction. but at this time upfront, the narrative has been on the offensive showing initiative, showing control even showing a lot of calm and professional conduct. you can see a lot of the speakers to begin calmly and even those ones who are on the ground attacking they are moving slowly and confidently. this is just generates a tone of legitimacy and leadership uh far as a boston and resistance. and at the same time, the spokes people have been very consistent in the sound, but they've been using a lot of good sound bites to justify the attack and mentioning multiple times,

the tax on lock. so multiple times, the prisoners multiple times. the role of the as rarely occupiers and settlers in attacking palestinians and occupying their lands. so this has been consistent sound bites the going over and over. and this is the life shot of the white house right now, because we are expecting the us president joe biden to speak any minutes. so we'll keep an eye on that a. but until what happens is, let's go to our state department correspondent, rosalyn jordan. why? for us in washington roles and everything that we've seen and heard coming out of the us so far today has been unequivocal support for us, for i beg your pardon for his real and condemnation of the attack by whom us that's right. and the condemnation of homos is attack on israel should come as no surprise from us has been designated

a terrorist organization by the us government since 1997, some uh 26 years ago. so that is not a surprise. in the past few moments, the state department has made it known that the secretary of state attorney blinking, who has been working over at the white house today along with other national security. uh uh, colleagues, has uh, made a couple of phone calls. he has spoken with the as really uh, president president hertzog. he has also spoken with the foreign minister aly cohen reiterating the us to support for is real, not just a psychological support, but more perhaps more important military support. and making certain that the israelis know that the u. s. will do what it can to ensure israel's ability to protect its citizens from attack. again, this is not a surprise, pretty much across the board in the us government, except for her house. like a few politicians, there's uh,

overbuilding support for the state of israel. any idea on what we might expect from the president's or is it more of the same, but obviously coming from the highest office in the us? it's probably more of the say, we do know that president joe biden did speak earlier on saturday with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we do know that the president has been kept informed by his staff, but it's not clear what more. if anything, the us can say is real, does receive $3300000000.00 and military aid every year. that's the terms of a contract or agreement that was reached between the 2 countries in the past of 3 or 4 years. and so that military support is expected to continue. but certainly, given the gravity of the attack, the fact that people have been killed both israelis and palestinians. and given

that some of these rarely citizens. and perhaps some members of the as rarely, military have been kidnapped by numbers of how most of it is probably fair to assume that the u. s. president decided it was important for him to come out in the middle of what is a long holiday weekend here. in the us to talk about events happening in southern israel and in the gaza strip. rosalyn jordan reporting from washington d. c. thank you very much for keeping a very close eye on that light shot. coming out of the white house, we will bring that speech to our of yours. as soon as you, as president walks up the pulpit, thank you very much, was now there's been some reaction for multiple countries across the middle east. zayna holder is in southern lebanon. she sent us this report. 11 on israel border remains quiet. this is one of the most volatile borders in the region. early this morning. how mosque called on arms groups and 11 on to join the fighting against

israel. so far it's main ally. hezbollah has been pestering, stopping short of the declaring whether or not it's will join the fight in a statement. it says that it is assessing the situation. it is in close contact with the mouse set leadership in gaza. and in that statement, it is also strengthening of this really government to, in its words, understand what happens today. so it has about laptops during making threats, but so far stopping short of saying whether or not there's going to join the fights . doing so really it's not an easy decision. yes. has well as much stronger than it was since it's part of the last 4 with israel in 2006, it has advanced weapons, but any action by hezbollah could, it could result in, in, you know, and, and this really reaction that could also hurts the group, and it's not just that hezbollah has domestic enemies, there are 11 east parties were calling on the group not to drag this country into war,

saying that it is not up to you to decide whether or not the lebanese space is going to get involved in this conflict, so the situation is tens of the board or has been tense in recent months, but then recent months, what we saw is that there were a flare ups, but they would be immediately contained with both sides trying to avoid a major escalation because it's not to any size advantage, but this time around things seems to be different, but it is too early to say whether or not has fall off will be involved in the war . and that is happening now between come off and as well. center for the southern lebanon analysis. here as dorothy jabari has the reaction now from b radiad and capital there on the reaction from the reigning officials, has been one of the celebration and congratulations for the palestinian nation. we just heard from the rainy, informed ministry spokesperson nozzler cannot even set that's it. this is

a day to congratulate the policy in a nation. and today's operation open the new chapter and the resistance fronts and on the operation against israel. we also heard from the very high ranking former revolutionary guard commander who is now our advisor to the supreme leader. i, until i, we saw many who said, that's the reunion of the system. and establishment supports this operation. and we will support the policy in fighters until their country is fully liberated. this of course, is not a surprise we had heard from the reading supreme reader. i used to live in albany just a few days ago on october 3rd, where he calls israel a cancer that must be illuminated. and he said that the time is limited and that the policy and resistance will prevail. dorset jabari algae 0 to hong and we are expecting, as i was saying, moments ago to president's joe biden,

to speak any minute now from the white house rather than jordan is our state department correspondent. you're in washington. that was, were, were, you know, i'm, i'm looking down here at my desk because any moment the us president could be walking onto that stage and obviously will all be very keen to hear what he has to say. but the message coming out of the us. so far has been unequivocal support for israel, as you explained to us. not surprising. this has been us policy and circumstances like this one to that's right. so the u. s. has been the one of israel's earliest and most committed defenders. since the israeli state was established in 1948, and it is worth noting that even though it is saturday, here in the united states as it is around much of the world as already sunday in australia and in other parts of a, of the pacific rim the us has been very,

very busy talking with allies consulting inside the government channels, meeting out the white house to try to figure out how best to support israel. how best was let me cut in there was if i can cut in, we're seeing the us president joe button at the podium this listening tourist organization. how mos in this moment of tragedy, i want to say to them, into the world in a terrace everywhere. that's united states stands with israel. we will not ever fail to have her back. will make sure that they have the help their citizens need. and they can continue to defend themselves. you know the world seeing the following images. thousands of rockets in the space of ours raining down on is really cities . i got up this morning and started. this is 7 38 o'clock my calls. last terrace crossing to israel coming. not only is really soldiers, but it's really civilians in the street. in their homes and some people,

murder wanted entire families, taken hostage by a mouse just days after israel mark the whole list of days of the jewish calendar. is unconscionable. you know, when i spoke of prime minister not now this morning. i told united states stands that the people of israel in the face of these terrace sauce. israel has the right to defend himself and his people full stop. and there's never justification for terrorist attacks. and my administration to support for his security is rock solid and on way. let me say this is clearly as i can, this is not a moment for any party hostile the israel to exploit these attacks, to seek advantage. the world is watching. i've also been in contact with the king of georgia, spoke with members of congress direct and my national security team engaged with there is rarely, counterparts, military to military intelligence, to intelligence department, to apply to diplomat,

to make sure israel has what it needs. i've also direct to my team to remain in constant contact with me just about the region, including egypt, turkey, cutter, saudi arabia, jordan, oman, u, a, as relevant, our european partners and the palestinian. sorry. it's also a terrible strategy on a human level, tardiness, and people say the lives that have been broken by this. the families torn apart and it's heartbreaking. the june are praying for those families attracted by this violence. we grieve of those loss or loved ones. last piece of or so we have hope for a swift recovery for many been wounded. we're going to remain in close touch with the prime minister. i personally, i run it, ran in close contact with primacy. and i know is the situation continues develop and look to be no mistake. the united states stands with the state of israel just

we have from the moment the united states became the 1st nation to recognize as 11 minutes after is found in 75 years ago. thank you very much and is holden's failure? is the leader. right? you just heard the us president joe biden, there a very short speech, but he certainly made his point that's cost live now to our correspond rosalyn. jordan, who's also in washington, was this was only 4 or 5 minutes long, but if there was any doubts and frankly, i don't think there was that the president would throw in his full support behind his real will. that that certainly was dissipated by that speech. it was a very categorical, there was no uh, wiggle room coming from joe biden, and that's not a surprise. he was a long time defender of the as rarely state while he was in the us senate

representing delaware. and certainly during his tenure as vice president and now as president, now that's not to say that since becoming president, joe biden has not had the warmest of relations with benjamin netanyahu. if anything, the narrative in the foreign policy spear was that their relationship was frosty. at best, and in fact there's been, uh, some uh, still speculation about the fact that nothing yahoo still has not been formally invited to visit, but not the white house, even though bob barton has now been president almost 3 years. so that said, when it comes down to safeguarding is real security, the us president, the entire road us government for that matter is not going to shy away from what has been a historical commitment to israel's security. and again,

the fact that the secretary of defense lloyd austin was on the phone with his, his barely counterpart. you'll have gone a lot earlier on saturday, basically making certain that the is really military has what it needs in order to carry out retaliatory attacks against him on both in southern israel and in the gaza strip. is very, very important to know. you will notice, however, that the president walked away, ignoring questions about whether there was an intelligence failure. well, yes, you may see in regional newspapers about the questions surrounding israel's intelligence. there is also now starting to be a question raised about whether the u. s. which shares intelligence with israel, perhaps missed the signs of this attack by her mazda on saturday as well. just a couple of the quotes from that short speech. so from bite and we will never fail to have israel's back. uh,

full support for is really security uh the 1st lady and i a praying for the families impact. and he was talking about the as rarely families here. and the us stands with israel, as it has done since the creation of the state of israel, 75 years ago. all those quotes really pulling in the same direction. there's just, as you said, no wiggle room, absolutely no doubt as to the level of commitment that the u. s. has to work as well right now, and that goes way beyond the relations, as you said, for us, the relations between the 2 leaders, the book, there's something else that we have to bring into this conversation. the us right now is right in the middle of negotiations, normalization of ties between saudi arabia and israel. this is reported to be a very important project for joe biden. and now this war begins, which could really, you know, shift things into regions. so the us has even more so than it ordinarily would stake in this to well, it's worth pointing out that the

a traditional issue that the us cared about when it came to israel and its position in the middle east has traditionally been its relationship with the palestinian people and there has been this growing perception in diplomatic circles, in political circles here in washington and around the world that trying to broker peace between the israelis and the palestinians. has basically fallen off the agenda for the by the administration. when you raised that point with by the administration officials, they will deny it. they will say that the us is still very much interested in a 2 state solution of peace between the palestinians and these railways. but you do not see any active negotiations or any efforts to try delaying the framework for aver nude of effort of negotiations between the 2 sides. in order to try to make

that happen. if anything, palestinians will argue that the us has not done nearly enough to protect the integrity of actual land in the occupied westbank in order to make a 2 state solution that much more viable. the other thing that i thought that was important was that you did not hear the president talk about the well being of palestinians, either in the occupied uh, either in garza or in southern uh, israel because there are a few error of citizens of pals standing and decided who do live inside israel, you didn't hear much about them. and so certainly the president and his administration are going to come under criticism for not addressing that part of the situation as 0 is rosalyn jordan debriefing. the very short speech there by the us president joe biden, who threw his full support behind and israel,

as we enter the 17th hour after the start of this, gaza israel wor, continuing coverage on alpha 0 at the top of the hour. that's interesting,

the seats them you've been coming to add any international and corruption excellence award. nominate your hero now to the teams to the last year. part of the sun experienced one of the worst floods in the country's history. many ruled communities are still waiting for help. hundreds of people on the outskirts of the city of may who had been living under open skies for a year in last year's floods. this road behind me those steals the entire

area that stretches in this direction. it was completely submerged. many of the homes and buildings that were destroyed are still rubble. and parts of this district have started the flood once again the, the, [000:00:00;00] the israel, as a falls pounds goes the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu tells this country,
