a similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what, i'll just bring you the news car and fast the matter to you. how does era the has the log claims responsibility for malta strikes from lebanon into the occupied shut off farms? re the sooner a 5 follows the time, sammy's a, then this is out just a live from dell hall. so coming up the wave of his ray, the strikes and the cover of darkness on the besieged, gaza strip warranted the 2nd day,

the inside israel face baffled. continue between is riley sold, isn't thomas fights is at least 300 is right. these are the beyond precedents. it operation the united states stands with is the us president says he's country will never fail to suppose as well the, the day off to the unprecedented ministry operation by how much against israel has been another escalation of 11 and israel. buddha has, the law has claimed responsibility for motor strikes from lebanon into the occupied shut off bonds. these, right? they say that they have followed with alternately fine st. ahold of reports now from beirut. yesterday morning, her mouse called on armed groups in lebanon,

hezbollah included to join the fighting is ro, as well as response was one of pestering and its initial statement. it said that it was assessing the situation. there were threats in that statement to the israeli government, telling them that understand what has happened. and today we have military activity across the israel lebanon border. so how's the law heating that call and that statement saying that it is doing this in solidarity with the palestinian and what it said was the palestinian resistance. but hezbollah was also very careful in choosing the type of weapons that use and the target mortars instead of long range, missiles the ship off farms which is dispute. the territory claimed by 11 on and not northern is ready the settlements. yes, it targeted and is really radar position in the past, we've seen flareups along the border more often than not the shelling with target

open spaces. it was more like, uh, you know, messages even when israel responded and shell the sources of fire, they would target open spaces, both sides really treading very carefully. not to lead to all out war. this time a step further if you like, hitting and is really radar station. so hezbollah saying that we are ready to join the fight. we are here. oh, this follows wants been by far the deadliest day of these, right? the palestinian conflicts in 50 is more than 24 hours since last launched its ministry. opperation on his route by land and sea. these a life pictures as the sun rises on the besieged tower tree. palestinians taking stock of what's being lost in this way, the strikes overnight and this was the saying just

a few hours ago and this or i launched another strike on garza 5 minutes to ben. you mean nothing? yeah. how is wanting people in garza who are under as well as land air and sea blockades? to leave the tower tree. is violets a ton, how my sites into rubble and well he says he's determined to win so far more than 256 palestinians have been killed by his really strikes inside as well. gun baffles have been continuing for l as in several cities between how much fight isn't this right? the false is the death toll by stands at 300. israel says 26 of its soldiers have been killed in the southern city of the officer outside the secure control of a police station that was seized by palestinian fights as is ready, forces demolished, parts of the building, with a bulldozer. let's go live now to give them the said she joins us live from gaza. let's start with these really strikes where we at with

that. well, it seems sammy that to these really bombardments has been holding the gaza strip in 2 parts. so early in the day the, the fair and the don't, uh ours uh the, the air strikes and the board went through a very much intensified into gauze the city itself. while this past hour, they have intensive 5 in the center as part of gaza strip in different areas and raise your future cap and the so you dollars come different other areas in the central part all because the strip. but what is significant now is fact old with targeting is to woods residential homes, and most of this homes are being bombarded on the heads off their residents. so i with this is they're telling us we have been seeing pictures and

videos posted on uh on, on our uh, groups and, and social media websites of civilians being pulled out of the rubble. where uh, even the civil defense, james wouldn't even have the chance to get to, to these areas as fast as possible because of the intensity of the rates here and their medical teams are not giving us. the mystery of house is not giving us an update on, on top of the hour. it says because of the casualties are in large numbers and it's not able to keep up with the numbers of injuries. and those killed from the is really air strikes. but we are taking a what we hear and what we see from the local. i witnesses in the areas of the bombardments and as i mentioned in the central part of gaza strip

just an hour ago, about 4 residential homes, at least has been targeted. was we still look ahead of us. there is always smoke billowing from different areas across because the strip you me to talk us through what the humanitarian situation looks like. now there's the dust, some of the dusk plays at least a dawn, especially with electricity supplies from israel, disruptive now as well. since the humanitarian conditions and gaza have already been in constant deterioration in any time of escalation, any time before the crisis compound, the crisis get worse and worse. now we're talking about the a is really minister of energy. last night we signed, was he so he called in order to disrupt the lives feeding because this ship with

a 120 megawatts this, this electricity that israel feeds the gaza strip or provides because the strip with is paid for by the palestinian authority. so he has cost those lines and or the off to the disruption which has left god. so with only a t mega watts, that's the highest capacity of the soul power plant in the guns is stripped to provide the entire gauze, the strip with electricity. so we're talking about 80 percent deficit and only 20 percent of electricity available in gaza. the results of such and, and, and, and an order or uh such an action have at once been a present in god. so they have been showing rapidly and instantly because

since last night we have only been witnessing 4 hours of electricity and every after every 12 hours of no electricity, then another 4 hours. and so one. now of course, of course, with the borders closed with the work going on, if you will, does not enter it because the strip even these 20 megawatts that are being provided from the sole power plants will be in danger. and uh soon uh the, the, the medical center is the hospitals all. c the most secretary that is affected by the loss of electricity. all right, thanks tim. the say that for reporting from garza, we have a team of correspondence in the region in addition to you on the site there and

gone. so we have john henry lives in washington dc, side of highland is in west jerusalem of rounds, is in southern israel, a few kilometers from that gauze. a border that start with rob. and he's joining us very close to that guns, a israel board of rob, what are you seeing and hearing about the continuing gum bottles that we're hearing from is right, the officials, which is still ongoing and positive southern as well. that's right. we're still, we're about 10 kilometers from the guys, a board or right now, and there's a police check point up ahead. so this is about a far as far as we can get. that as far as we know, the, the most significant in town in the area that had been occupied by uh, fighters from gaza. so the road has been re taken by israeli forces. they destroyed the police station that a mass fighters were uh, hold up in and who. ready thing,

but fighting is still underway in several small communities and in cahoots is in the area as the along the border with gods, the police and the army. actually it's not the police. i should say the army has not. it said that the entire area is clear. they say that operations are ongoing. there is considerable concern that there's may still be a israeli citizens who are in these areas who may either be being held captive by hamas, or other fighters or, or hiding somewhere. and you know, in harm's way, more or less. now the government of israel is not given any figures yet, except for saying that 26 confirmed soldiers are confirmed killed and they named them. but they have not given any figures,

the number of people who were captured or the number of civilians who definitive numbers on the number of civilians who were killed a moss likewise has kept this information close to its best. not exactly saying in any specific numbers, but saying that they have a considerable numbers of people that they have captured and brought back to guys including women, the man, the elderly people, etc. is. this is good and very important factor in how the israeli army will proceed, how the government will make its decisions on what to do next. after the 1st step of the clearing all mos fighters and other fighters from the area outside of the of gaza. what will they do next? will they move in in large numbers by land? well, as i think we've been reporting the israeli government war and the people inside

garza who are living near the borders that they should go away from their homes and go somewhere in this tiny and overcrowded region because the military operations will begin around those areas. so when that is going to happen, may depend in large part on when the is really forces are able to confirm that they've routed out all of the mos spiders. that may take some time and they also want to be able to be certain that there are no people hiding or no people taking captive. uh the is really army is reportedly using a search, dogs and drones to try to determine where people who may be alive or, or may have died are and just a short distance from where we are standing right now. there is a, the body of a man. we don't know his identity. there is a car that he was presumably in with the several bullet holes in the front

windscreen. then the body lying in the street, partly covered by a uh, aluminum foil type wrapping. uh, we don't know who that person is. we don't know the, the circumstances of his death or why he's been left sitting there lying there, his corpse lying there in the sun for so long. but we do know that this is another sign of a, of how all this brutal war which is unfolding as has made itself known. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much, rob reynolds said, springing now. last time i come down who's the, how i'm asked, see me, a spokesman joins me on the phone good to have you with us. so 1st of all, we understand how most sizes are currently engaging with these, right? the forces inside is right. what is the point of that operation right now? well, thank you for having me. it was clear that the whole nobody's shame is

a response for this right? that x against deluxe, almost because you will send them on the west bank. and i have to say that to the bid was a good a big was for the is it, is that for this teen and go by glenn is 1015 and as regardless to the business of the settlements and that fits us. and that would be a time that both sides would be evacuated from the is it is. and it's going to be back for the, for the statements. this is the, the important idea of still fighting on all of these. so by the end of the 1948, all right, you'll find thing as you say, to end the occupation. what, why is how much attacking civilians as well that there was no attack against disobedience or what was good. let me jump in the sign a cause. that statement by the un secretary general clearly says that he's opposed

by report. civilians have been attacked and a doctor faith from their own homes that we seen videos, insights of what looks like is radius being taken into gaza. are you saying the one second general is wrong with the wrong this? when this is really important point to me for exempt as who the last 20 is, is a, is hold. the tech's against does the and killed thousands of 1st team and civilians . and no one has any comment to i, i was to but as of them to by then talking about standing beside is what you and then said tax against the but a scene. and so it says i kind of what could i say he's not talking about the philistines would being killed. yes. that they are for so many team members 70 chabad, somebody way to kill this. my, it's why is there any bumping and then at his try can on the on house with that is normally the times that they were only civilians. why when you are talking about

the circular, i'm not talking about the civilians like before. the steam is you are talking about cit, lance, what i'm to can bring the to take these raise if these various a targeting and killing innocent palestinians civilians that does not mean international law. it's acceptable, full power steering wheel to talk it until then. it's a worthy and dry. it's month accepted to a tech civilians at golden stance. i'm not sure little. so the come back to my customer. why won't let me say, may i read to a statement by amnesty international, which is condemning the targeting by israel of palestinian civilians. but it's also condemning in the state and by october, the 7th, st kind of student groups must refrain from target things civilians and using indiscriminate weapons x amounting to war crimes is i'm just the wrong when i have to say that you have to differentiate between the levels and the civilians

disclose that code into the international law the i must say, feet in the out or don't they, they at the same is that they, they in fact true to the against the, for the statements. so we will have to differentiate between both issues the c v then and the 5th gloves for a month. but for them to the for laura syrians and we were the say, what my, which is what i'm to see, thing firing rockets, all indiscriminate weapons that can hurt and do hurt civilians. when we hope we hope that misty can add to the international community to either to may come in for that is related to permission or to urge them to send a more develop live ones to attack just to only really sort of just because we are not targeting on pen for specific means, you know, that is a huge amount of civilian targets inside that to buy last month thing for to,

to it's how much this month and going to outside of your thinking them. we have to clear that the sick lot of the far, those are the 2 patients and the sick loves the part of the on is a really poor the, i'm not know what i'm assuming. it is as they are named all the time. so some of these towns, so what are in the southern areas of israel? we're not just talking about sacraments in the west bank, or when the we o, everyone knows that those are system us. and if you are talking about should because it says system and to show a token that was made even since the month, those are system that's on all. that's why that's 1948 everyone have signed up. sent that the but it's, tina lands is a whole complete land from sea to river and the eighty's auto co signed the also agreement. even this is not the implement that could be a mess that'd be asked to take over to but a see and that's so what,

what this is going to be out of 10 and that sort of statements. there is no hold for the sealants to have their independence, the independent states. but i'm a blank and when he paid a visit on my law, okay, last i'm sorry, i don't want to hear, so i'm gonna come down to hold on for a 2nd. there is a life press conference. we're going to listen to right now. we'll come back to you in a minute. so do stay with us. all right, well waiting to get in some live translation and so we can hear what the story the army is saying in this press conference. i believe we have it now. so that's this. and then the army is, has launched a larger scale offense against guides us through the cool and we are targeting people. how mass lead does we have super unity in terms of

fire power and we will disclose that results according to the name of the quarter office. we are fema so therefore show that google as well as the army person in the us. i mean, have harms or their capabilities, and they wouldn't be put to maximum use in the coming hours. we will also use out of tillery good to me, mental and your, or we will continue with our larger scale offensive. hygienist guides a all right, so we called the the mocks of daniel, how got you guys saying a log scale offensive will continue that spring and summer come down. he's

a spokesperson for how mass and you heard the vows. not only that, but as well as prime minister vowing to ton how my sites into rubble. what's your response to that? all right, we seem to have lost the connection there. but this time i come down would try and maybe we can try again. all right, let me try again. so it was still sound like i'm done. if you can hear me now. yes, we are hearing the vows the from these right, the middle tree, but also be full that from his rouse, prime minister benjamin netanyahu is vying to ton how mass sites into rubble. what's your response for? yes. when they have been doing that for the, for the scene and people for the last 70 case and the philistines,

i'm still standing fighting for that because there's a, it has to understand that they can't get rid of the for this team is they have, they of the band on us and they have their own drive to build their own state. i'm not sure if i like to put this thing on people. that would be sacrifice is understand that you know the consequences. but we have also understand that at the end of the 5 to 15 and people keep standing against a corporation and we will when our 5, they have less good stuff and they will leave other parts of our lands. we will get the money. we will decide, or she will shut, by our sense is all right and cut off, keep on turning the life was the philistines and the international community have to understand that the problem. and the reason, the honest to but attend that agent is because of the present. so these are the and nothing else. this is for a loan to the ground defensive. what would that mean for the people of casa,

as well, too? it would be a very big mess, occurred by the it is as they have done that from the 1948 to now, but also they will not the play game. it will be a very tough time for that. and so it is my thing does only every with and publish times and may be from other places knocked on the input this i will leave it the thank you so much of some of them done. let's go with this out of highlight choosing west jerusalem for us. so sort of 1st of all bring us up to speed with what is ready. officials are saying about the ongoing fine thing that's still going on. yeah, that's been going on for hours since stopped today. what i'm saying is that there's not news to take control of 5, cuz most of those towns and villages in the south on the border with gauze are

initially they said there was 22 of those that had been also treated fine policy and fights is now that seems to be much more on the is really control. it's still an ongoing situation, so we'll continue monitoring that as well. but the country is also on the states as imagine, see a cabinet meeting was held saturday evening where they said they made it very clear that that goal that was an agreed goal would be that they would target hamas. and it's not meant to have a minute treat capabilities in gaza. they said that's the aim. and they said to enable uninsured. the say, uh this will be remembered for years to come. of course, this was a huge, huge embarrassments for the as rated governments to the politicians for the ministry and most of the intelligence service. all right, we'll leave you that. thanks so much sort of hire on now the us president size is

country support for israel is rock solid and unwavering lives to john henry in washington, dc. so, or can you tell us about what us officials are saying at this point? well, let's do we hours of sunday morning and in a few hours, people from the administration, members of congress will be on the sunday talk shows. and we can expect more of what we've heard for the past 24 hours. and that has been a stern condemnation. from both democrats and republicans of the homos attack and support for israel. that's what we heard from everybody, from the democratic mayor of new york to republicans in congress to president biden himself. and his administration has been busy uh, trying to de escalate that situation. they've done so by sitting at a secretary of state anthony, blinking to the phones he has been calling his counterparts in the middle east in north africa,

and trying to get anyone who can influence him off to try to de escalate that conflict at biden has not always agreed with benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel. but on this occasion, all we had to say was strict support for israel. israel has the right to defend himself and his people for stop. there's never justification for terrorist attacks. and my administration to support for is your 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 both democrats and republicans on capitol hill have talked about increasing military aid to israel. israel already gets $3300000000.00 that was in the past year by far more

than any other country from the united states in military aid. and there's talk of more of the problem with that is that congress is in complete disarray, not just because republicans control the house. and democrats control the senate. but because of the republicans are without a speaker at the moment and without the speaker of the house of representatives, they can't really do business and they won't come back to elect to speaker until wednesday. so right now, although there is rather widespread support for increasing funding for israel, that's not likely to happen soon and that could take some time. all right, thanks so much john henry. meanwhile and the okay pod westbank funerals are being held to one of 7 palestinians who are killed during confrontations on saturday. the abraham is live i've that funeral invite to annette the west over my lot. so what is the mood that like them is the funeral, as well as what's going on and gone? so i mean, this is one of 4 funerals or 5 that we are expecting to take place today. here in

the occupies westbank as the tools of those who would have killed since the beginning of this major escalation on saturday morning has risen to 7. this is the home of 18 year old. i'm at a i but he's now being taken from the hospital to it. he's going to be brought here. so his parents home where he lives before he's being laid to rest. now, eh, ahmed, and, or for other palestinians have been killed was they participated in confrontations with these way the forces in different confrontation points in the west bank. 2 of those who have been killed with involved in attacks, at least this is these really version of them that we're talking about. a 13 year old teenagers like ahmed, who's 18 and people who are in the early twenties. so you can imagine that these

people usually respond to calls to go to confrontation points. we've heard how mosley does yesterday talk about how this to me is needing to escalate the situation. but it has already been a 10 year, one of if not deadly, if you're into decades here in the occupied westbank with more than 200 palestinians killed by his really forces. so we are expecting attention to be rising. we are expecting more people to respond to those calls for an escalation. you know, people feel is that because how mouse was the policy that has start to be attacked . they feel like they are taking control and they want to show as rough, if they can incur damages. that in the hopes this would lead as well to deter it's violation against palestinians. the countless, when we talk about labs when we talk about the killings when we talk about all the .
