7:09 pm
naval forces or destroying main coaster roads in order to crack down any possible intellect ration attempt to the is really a duty. some coastal towns in terms of the is really, let's say, crimes against palestinians. the victims of palestinians today are increasing. and one of the most prominent victims that's where to today by these really strikes is up with the family includes uh, and i was out village eastern of con eunice governor to us simply the family has been wiped out from the civil registry. uh was on a 22 minute windshield. oh, my gosh. the sound of explosion right now. all right, with the oil changes, we wouldn't have any way you out because that's certainly sounded very cost. you know what? we have heard a sound or explosion aside. uh the uh, gaza strip. uh, actually this explosion uh, was uh, widely over here in the, uh, on the,
7:10 pm
in the gaza strip. uh to now uh we cannot really uh, locate the place on the indication of the uh of the explosion or the apartments simply because it's absolutely dock and, uh, we cannot clearly see here in a very good way, but you can generally here uh, throughout the packet round that he is restored to the again, launching air strikes against palestinians inside the gaza strip. it's important to mention that a duck of only has wiped out from the civil registry more than 22 members. what kills by the is really occupation forces a 7 of them with children on till discount moments. civil teams are trying to that to wait 6 members who are still stuck under the rubble of the destroyed ouse. simply it becomes so obvious refer with the is really policy of target things that israel does not know the do. it directly fits civilians and it's uh, international uh,
7:11 pm
neglect and negligence about what's happening in the gaza strip. and as a new player medation to start the coverage conflict or conflict corrupted between uh the uh, how much movement and he is really occupation all me through the is riley prime minister, has been wanting people who knew the gaza strip to evacuate. but that's certainly not a possibility for many palestinians. is it the main effect bus publish the news. i have read, the evacuated also specially published the news. a living a close to the board as an eastern areas are they receive different notice and messages on theirs. so phones are from the is where the occupation forces informing them to evacuate the house before are being targets his and act. oh my gosh, i know the explosion in the same place. it seems it was due to the overhead. um, okay, do you need to come back to let us know i can get you some kids and so before we go over here is a tonight,
7:12 pm
it's important to mention that palestinians know are displaced from the original houses now into the owner. was schools inside the gaza strip, which turns into safety filters for them made. and while a school today has been hit by the is really strikes without making please. uh, let's say uh, differentiation between a simple and medicines generally. so the gaza strip situation is the troy thing. there is that explosion, as you can clearly see on the bucket around lots is going to be the to the bit to do right now. it's absolutely how are you going around right now over here it's. i think this building has to be leveled to the grounds. throw out and there strike that had been carried up by the is really the forces. this is the noise inside the gaza strip. everything turns upside down the lives generally, the 2 rates in you're due to the wide range of attacks carried out by the occupation. oh my gosh. okay, touring,
7:13 pm
we're going to leave in there and we'll prospect for you throughout the evening. it certainly sounds like it is a dynamic situation. we're seeing live pictures from guys there and given it is the not time it's difficult to say, but we are saying this guy being liaison for buying strikes. so thank you so much for that comprehensive coverage that was correct. a bu, a zoom in garza and unit outside visited an area where civilians have been seeking shelter in gaza. is currently here as one of the under was closed, where more than 2000 people have taken this school at shelter. the people that are in this school has moved from their homes. that where across the or adjustment to the is really a guns and borders. now they have owners here some of the late last night, while others came here this morning. also,
7:14 pm
some of the families that we have may have had their homes destroyed and that's why they have to come here to the honor was for shelter under what has told is that it has prepared 44 schools in total, $44.00 schools and filters all together. across because districts for the lease time and the they have also said that over 22000 people have been displaced and are now taking shelter in their school these home. so i believe have experienced this leading of their home, and they just nice maybe many times before, some time and need to say that this is not the 1st or the 2nd or even aside. those people have their homes adjusted every single time. there is any kind of escalation here to leave their homes because there are,
7:15 pm
they are afraid of their afraid all the errors that we're bringing in 6 to 4 because the 0 god this mohammed jam june is standing by for us in west jerusalem. hell are they more the cabinet as we will floating on at the side of the show has approved the declaration of war, took us through what that means. that's right, emily and yeah, let's just try to take this step by step right now to explain to our viewers where
7:16 pm
we are when it comes to this declaration of war. of course we heard yesterday from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that basically he said, the country is at war. then you had the cabinet meeting, the cabinet approved the declaration of war. that means that the prime minister and the defense minister can essentially make decisions going forward without having to consult the cabinet when it comes to every specific action. what happens next is that this goes to a specific committee within the countries parliament that connects it. that committee will both on the declaration, the more they will, it is expected. they will approve the declaration of war. and then after that, at some point, cross it possibly later in the day tomorrow, we're told that the prime minister will go in front of the cannot sit in front of parliament and will then declare that the country is officially aware that essentially formalize, is it legal? formalize it, legalizes the word declaration going forward. now there's
7:17 pm
a lot of concern as to what this means going forward. you have a lot of people here that are concerned about what exactly is happening with israel's border with living on and how much attention there is that many people here expect that after this declaration of war is formalized in the connected. that at some point there will be a ground invasion into gaza. so that's another concern right now. you also have a lot of people speculating about the possible political ramifications for the prime minister. the fact that something that's considered to be such a huge intelligence failure occurred on his watch. and that's something that people think that he's going to have to reconcile with at some point. now, at the moment you are seeing signs amongst the political classes here, the people are going to be essentially rallying around the flag uniting. you have members of the opposition who have offered to join unity government with the prime minister. you have the prime minister who is also said that he's willing to,
7:18 pm
to look into these overtures uh, moving forward. so a lot of moving parts. we are expecting to hear a lot more details in the hours and the days to come. emily, how many you've been speaking to a number of people on the ground water vapor and say certainly throughout the day i've been speaking to people in occupied east jerusalem and in west jerusalem. and they are still very much in a state of shock as to what happened people throughout the day, telling me that they never thought they would have seen something like this take place in a country where the security services are considered to be so vaunted. they have such a reputation for thoroughness. many of them have asked, how could an intelligence failure like this have happened at a time like this? they are just still very much processing. what happened. they are saying many of them and told me that they believe that what happened was far worse than what happened during the opt for were in 1973. and they're very worried about what
7:19 pm
exactly is going to be happening next. emily? and thanks so much for the update mohammed jam june day. let's cross through child strapping now, who's in tel aviv for us. charles, what's the situation from a military perspective? we're hearing there was a substantial. there is the chance of a substantial ground invasion of gonzo of the well yes, that's what all the information certainly from the is really ministry suggesting we know in the south south certainly televi correspondence throughout the day is reported seeing tanks and heavy all i've seen a re moving towards the goal is a strip. we also know that there could be tends, if not molding at hundreds of thousands of he's really soldiers that uh, certainly either being put on stand by that a or moving in that direction. we know what a complicated operation it could be. all,
7:20 pm
so let's not forget so you know the amount of his why the soldiers that will last during the 2014 invasion of garza. but old, by with intents and purposes, it seems as if some sort of ground defensive could, will take place indeed a c offensive as well, and offensive on the sea. and we just heard those incredible air strikes those thoughts. those attacks that are ongoing goals as well. so you can already imagine the shits hair of the move in to 1000000 goals, and those that are often described as living in the largest prison in the world. meanwhile, the situation here in tel aviv has been quiet for the majority of the day. um, but there is a very strange atmosphere here. the streets of virtually m. c. business is closed and is ready designed by the citizens living. yeah. all, all very concerned about any kind of escalation we visited to. one of the sites
7:21 pm
with one of the 150 pounds standing and launched missiles landed in the center of the city last night that hit a business completely destroyed it. people very distraught. one woman saying that she was awfully horrified by what was going on and the level of suffering being experienced by both sides. and how would she said, but at least i have somewhere. so hide. so there is a great sense of source trepidation here, as indeed on indication suggest that there is going to be some very sizable is really military response in garza. and as you mentioned, we're already hearing and saying that the saved name charles, the death toll has risen considerably today. sunday to more than $650.00 is riley's, including the depths of thousands of people at that dance potty and southern israel, essentially. right? me the guys the strip. how is that attack being received that, that such
7:22 pm
a surprise attack could happen as i say, the people in the office sense of the sense you'll, they want on says they want to know how such an attack could have happened. and as we heard about hamlet alluding to the, you know, they want on cisco, the intelligent service, they want all just from the military. um there is increasing video of evidence all the huge, great gaps in the security. how could, how much suffices penetrate that fence? so many broad daylight with the, with some cheese ministry on a list here in, in, in israel will say that the ministry left, the gone down in that area are sold to see the young people holiday. they will side points to the fact that a lot of these really miniature facilities from dollars are having recent months being re directed to the occupied waste. spank um and that could have, have of tools to what it has is turned out to be such an unprecedented and massive attack. but yeah,
7:23 pm
the picture is coming out of something. israel absolutely shocking and having a huge effect on the morale. always riley's and they promised to me is what it is that live in, in, in this city. the south. so, you know, seeing what it was reported to be $240.00. is that that policy um, near the gall, this strip uh have you having being found we've seen pictures today of 5 flights guns flights happening um on, on the roads as we understand um, how much flights is that have taken control of housing. some of these settlements reports have been taking hostages. finally hostages, inside some of those houses, we've seen long lines of burned out vehicles that have been a tags. i mean, is riley's of a, of this generation of the younger generation and older generations have never seen anything like this happen. so yeah, it is a great sense of shopping,
7:24 pm
a great sense of trepidation as we go into another nights. it would not be conceivable. certainly with respects television, there was not another miss all striked from gauze or is it say a $150.00 or so you miss all is were 5 towards a towards a ton of a last night. so it's going to be very interesting. but there are a lot of very afraid people, right, the way across these country on the occupied territories as uh, as data. and so no lights on the 2nd day of this will chance. thanks so much for the update child stratford line for us in television. as he was saying that we can actually say some of those as strikes happening as we speak as we go to a in guys or it's difficult to say. we felt we're going to go to those live pictures, but we'll now cross to him or on him runtime is in ramallah for us him right. have we heard from the palestinian authority at old today which is sunday? so there's been several negotiations that have been going on between the
7:25 pm
international community and the palestinian will far as he for on the palestinian authorities. paul, what they want to do and then negotiating with egypt right now is for egypt to open the roof of border crossing, which is in that territory into garza. so they can get in you monetary and age for those that need it. the most uh, also the very clear that when they tokens of international communities like this is a result of the occupation and a result of the fact that the international community simply housing vote a no pressure on israel to lift the siege of gauze or to stop the occupation of the here and you all can 5 west back, you know, probably east jerusalem in fact, but here where i am, but i'm on the right now, but generally across the occupied west bank, it's been a show of support for how much a general strike was cool, that was the 1st big and legal offices. we shut the government offices with shut schools have been shut, shops up into anything that might make
7:26 pm
a society function is simply closed. i'm just gonna go away and show you. this is the quietest i've actually seen ramallah in a very long time now, sporadically throughout the day. that have a been a protest showing support for homeless within minarda square, which you can just see down that you speak to people here. and what they tell you is very simple. if you treat people like animals, you shouldn't be surprised if they fight back. now this fight back has taken the, the people in the occupied westbank by surprise. they didn't think they would see anything like this in the lifetimes. but they all coming out and show support for that. so it just goes to show you that that feeling is actually something that's been seen. no, just say in real life, but across the occupied respect. now what these railways have done within meal flies will spike is they've actually shut roads down. so for example, you call get from definitely him. i got to remember you called different jeanine to now,
7:27 pm
but chicago from village to village these radius of effectively turned into an archipelago of separation and that's a deliberate move on that part. we traveled into the state, we stopped to the effect check point was they tried to figure out whether i was actually going to be allowed in to remotely. so that's what was going on right now . but like i say, emily, the day of strike under show of support for him us. all right, we appreciate the update as always in run con, in ramallah for us. and still in ramallah, many palestinians were marching in suppose of how much the military operation needed for him is they in the occupied westbank of some of the times in the year that has been walking in the streets all the way now. so in. 2 unity for palestinian fractions. the we might launch more attacks against as rating targets with the heating promising is here to also grazing her mouth, saying that these were the only of the sounds a lot was up for
7:28 pm
a sleeve on here. were telling me that they feel that they've been left alone by the world, and that they only have themselves to rely on everyday. we're making to free themselves from the continue with decades long as really mean the 3 of you phase at all and on and be a few fires west redwood city and tell us any is of a general strike where businesses have shut down and people are still worried about severe i people have families and friends in the receipts because it's true, a phrase all the is really retaliation, but some of them were telling me this is written already has been bombarding palestinians at that bc's because that's the overall here in the occupied westbank i'll spell the cities have laid to rest some of those who have been killed by his ready voices, which is really mandatory, closed down, the palestinian towns, recently isolating them for one another. also, the only link for promising is given the hope you find was like with the outside world, with jordan,
7:29 pm
the unabridged has been shut down by israel. so that gives you an idea of the, even if the situation is considered relatively calm, the tension is still growing. does that, but i am, i just need all that i'm a law. we also applied westbank. let's bring in diana bruce here. now who's a lawyer and for my legal advisor to the palestinian liberation organization. she joins me live from hayford. diana, thanks so much for being on the program. as we've been reporting as well as can this, it has just declared the nation is officially at wool. does that change anything? a no, not for bell citizens living. i think it's important for the street put in its proper context. palestinians have been living under it is rarely military dictatorship. now, for more than 56 years and the images that we're seeing today in israel are the same things that we palestinians have been living with each and every day. for the past
7:30 pm
56 years. israel has never held back when it comes to the use of force and all that it wants to do now is somehow show that it's entered into a different phase when, when it comes to palestinians, it's always had the gloves off. it's never had any restraints and the world has never forced is realty to, to place any, any, any blocks, any barriers, any, anything to the way in which it deals with palestinians. this is why we're in this situation today. this is a colossal failure on the part of the international community, which has allowed israel to continue this brutal occupation for the past 56 years without any accountability. that brings me to my next question about the international community. see where expecting the united nations security council. so hold an emergency mation in the coming hours. what if anything can donations that are part of that due to de escalate the situation? i would hope 1st and foremost that they would hold up a mirror to themselves and be blaming themselves. but this is not a,
