the other bombardment was for a suit c mosque, which is in the b a shots here, if you do cab also in the west to go to city. and uh, that's one of the most densely, or it's, it's considered to be the 1st most densely populated refugee counting concepts and then develop the photos now to read. i, the boss was also targeted without prior doses of many civil liens of those who were injured from the targeting were brought to hospital including villas, who were killed from the target to talk to us about the destruction more broadly across the city. we know that there have been more than 500 strikes. you've mentioned hospitals and schools. what about infrastructure? how badly is the city being damaged? well let's see, and the fix to is it how much the did the destruction coast from every grade,
12:05 pm
every missed every bombardment made and that the all effect you press structure. so basically, uh, these areas, like for example, they had noun neighborhoods, another very densely populated area, has they, it is like know, cuz what this is in sources say that all over 70 percent of that neighborhood has been politically correct. it has to be conflicts, the white house, the impressed structure, uh, no electricity, their water pipe. uh pipelines. everything has been completely destroyed. of course . uh, in addition to civilian homes and every other building in that area that was under heavy bombardment all night. we're talking about the destruction of not just homes and, and, and area but, but even you for structured in every area that is subject to too many times
12:06 pm
or a going barbrick, bombard 5 of activity where you keep us updated as to how the day and solids unit out of sight in gaza. there's certainly lots of moving parts to the story. we have a team of car spends across the region. we're going to head to jemila about the no, not yet. who's live for us in gaza in just a moment. but 1st, a mazda is millet tree wing says it's well prepared for is riley forces. the o cassandra game have on valves and a defense system. they say it will be used to confront is riley aircraft during the ongoing escalation. the group says it's st locally manufactured, but springing jemila. now, jimmy, let tell us more about these latest developments in the midst cells that out, cuz some says it's required to oh is that we have heard from no one to know about this until the minutes when of him us has you give the manufacturer of in you who made the air defense system that's been brought into service to confront
12:07 pm
his release aircraft during the door. so they're trying to prove their point that they have been working on themselves and you're going to succeed this for until now. we've been hearing different bombings in different areas in gaza at the last one, as my uh, click said, you know, it was uh, in the sushi most. and they haven't been targeting most and uh, without any previous uh, warning which has been resulting in huge amounts of numbers of casualties. and what we have been hearing, the more raids means more numbers of casualties and the dispute jemila. do you have any confirmation if the current death toll as it stands? we're hearing that? that number is approaching 500 palestinians. we have no new we haven't. we haven't has any numbers of the,
12:08 pm
of the data from the ministry of health. but all that we know is there increasing and there isn't any space to contain all the bodies and the casualties that are coming to the hospital. okay, we appreciate that update jamila, as well as a new not live for us in gaza. okay, we're going to head to the situation in southern is around now, and the military says fighting with a mazda is ongoing in several locations. under the cover of rock and fi, fi has, has been battling is riley forces. civilians have flights to safety and shelters. thousands of rockets have been fine and the scale of the damage is emerging. let's bring in child stratford. now who's live for us inside sit or ross in southern is ro, is riley's military held a breast press briefing just hours ago. first thing this morning. what more can you tell us about the situation on day 3 of this conflict?
12:09 pm
just to bring you up today to emily in the last haul for an hour or so. there's been a statement released by the is really military, the spokesman full. he's right. the ministry saying that they have taken back full control over again, full control of the towns, the garza's sub ghost. israel is a southern border, the border with guns. and they said that now we feel we have to move to the next level. i mean, let me will now stall if you know, and it's all stops to evacuate the residents in these communities. it was with a and i suppose about 15 minutes of us reading that statement that there was a, another on slowed me. so i was that were 5, we understand out side story from, from dollars i there was a very loud audio emergency announcement made by the israeli military. he instead of brought the, everybody to take cover. and yeah, it was just the latest in, in,
12:10 pm
up on bob and hold me. so i was from the products to be inside from galls up earlier today. we said we heard from a spokesperson, who was saying that they had been up to 20 bridge points and he's ready to split a ministry spike's bush and saying they've been out to 20 bridge points. and he couldn't guarantee that. all those breach points along that fence is a goal is a had actually being blocked. he couldn't guarantee that they would still have my spices in side israel. so low. we've had the statement in the last half an hour or so from these right. the ministry saying the communities, the towns in this area with being taken control of bias by the positions don't decide that they're on the palestinian fighters in the area as we came into several, we couldn't use the main road. and at the time, is it being close? so we came basically along dusty, so the country farm tracks. we post the dead body, we call and confirm whether that was and he's ready sold a protest, any advice or indeed indeed a civilian, but there was a strong smell that accurate,
12:11 pm
horrible smell of tension roasting bodies in the fields around that area. we saw a lot of these really military vehicles including tanks, apc's, and lots hillary batteries as well. just know of gauze in preparation. we understand for this is ground invasion into gaza. we're also hearing the polls in the last 15 minutes so, so that there has been a lot of barrels of, of, of missiles targeting seemingly places as far away as tel aviv from the palestinian side. so no matter this statement from these really ministry, the situation remains very fluid to just to tell you about the civilians instead wrong. it's really quite a serial experience here. they pulled either now, so it was one by saying that full control of being taken back all of this town we saw or is ready patrols. hey buddy, all i'm going out to attack what we were told wells were well,
12:12 pm
how much flight is in and around this town. and at the same time, they will be occasional civilian on the streets, but a lot of civilians in the cause. just driving around the town, there are a lot still here's seemingly ignoring this warning by these rarely made a treat to evacuate. several will be right in the way or in between basically any kind of movement from these rightly side into gaza. so you can imagine there are a lot of people who are potentially great risk, but yeah, the situation is to say it remains fluid, but there's potentially some contradictory statements being made, bodies ready ministry at this stage. child, as he mentioned evacuations continuing, and we've been reporting that 300000 reserve is so being cold up. have you seen an increase of troops on the ground where you are and any moves towards what is being speculated as a ground invasion, which could be minute?
12:13 pm
hello. what we've seen is, as i described, we have seen tanks, apc's. we've seen them obtain a re batteries in the fields most of the gaza strip, basically just a few kilometers from here. we understand that it's a similar kind of scenario, potentially a down to the eastern borders of garza. we seen the military in, instead of out, as i say, the patrol was there, but no indication of lots of ground forces at this stage. as you can imagine, these right in the middle tray will not be exposing their policies to potential attacks. they're going to be keeping that their equipment and their personnel as hidden as possible before any kind of any kind of ground invasion. but it's safe to say that certainly according to the statement that has recently been made in the last 15 or 20 minutes, these really made a tree saying that they are now going to move to the next stage. now whether in
12:14 pm
fact that is some sort of ground invasion into goals, we call them confirm because of say there is still a lot of civilians in this area that we understand would potentially have to be moved before such an operation was to begin. ok, keep us updated as to how things progress on the ground child stratford in that set of rocks. thank you. let's bring in villa mox, who joins us live from west jerusalem, feeling a dynamic situation. what are you hearing from these riley camp this morning? of the overhead and what's the reason of this? the last few minutes suddenly we had a right sirens. the 1st time since saturday were in the south west of the city and uh, just kind of above our heads the hillside behind that you can see that will probably 5 explosions of the all and don't seem to attempt to intercept incoming file. we've also heard from a contact, but tend to be that for quite significantly,
12:15 pm
far north of here showing an explosion in an open area right next door to the fort where he was waiting to pick someone up. so clearly that has been incoming rocket far towards west through for them and to leave over the course of the last 10 or 15 minutes. and these rallies during on that huge pool of reserve is that's quite a logistical exercise. i would imagine of the there is a huge number of active reserve. it's across as well. it's very clear that they are looking to recruit as many as they can put tennessee for ground invasion that are full. some of the few said is an option that remains on the table, the minutes expect for us. and for these really all me saying just a few minutes ago that they have now pulled up 300000 reserve. as many people are in as well. a pulse of in the ministry as part of the national service. during the early twenty's, the late teens and seemingly many of those being pulled up, we've remained in that was a call to serve. and what may be
12:16 pm
a very significant confidence in the days ahead. and finally, bill um, what about politically, what are the latest developments there? have we've heard anything, no, from these riley governmental, the prime minister of military strategy here. and his ro, very close the link to the political situation. mister, nothing y'all who was prime minister has a very narrow governing majority and the can assist is ready parliament. he's been talking or at least has represents visiting, talking to towns, apart from opposition, policies over the course of the last couple of hours about one of them the government might look like in order to try and unify different political strands here in the country ahead of what may be a very significant military operation, just one of his major physical buttons standing back from that saying he is not prepared to join an emergency government without conditions. those include the resignation of at least 2 senior members admitted that's me. all these cabinets a day to belong to far right. policies, any guns, the form of defense minister,
12:17 pm
though his representative on meeting with lee could follow the representative. that's the policy mister netanyahu belongs to, in order to discuss how exactly is an emergency. government might offer a. okay, thanks for bring is up to speed villa mox, joining us from west jerusalem is rouse, close ally. the us says it's sending additional military aid and deploying an aircraft carrier strike group. the initial support for it is around. let's go live to john henderson, who's in washington, d. c for us. so john, what exactly is this carrier strike group? and just how significant is this development to a carriers drag force is an extraordinary show of power and it is centered around an aircraft carrier that can carry 4 or 5000 people to massive vessel on the deck. you've got planes, helicopters unmanned aerial vehicles, and then it is surrounded by other vessels,
12:18 pm
including a guided missile cruiser, big warship and for guided missile destroyers and have the capacity to shoot down missiles and this guy targets on the ground. it is a big group of ships and a powerful commitment and a statement that says the us is backing is real unequivocally and with force in this fight along with that the f 35 and other jets they have 35 is the most advanced. yet in the u. s. air force arsenal are also being beefed up in that area that uses increasing that number of planes in the message. there is one of deterrence. they don't want other countries to get involved. they don't want other parties to get involved in the strength fight, and they don't want others to help home us, but make no mistake. the us military says it has no intention of putting boots on the ground of getting directly involved in this fights. this is
12:19 pm
a show of force at the moment and a backup for israel. if it were to be needed. the secretary of state anthony blinking has been trying to work the funds with his counterparts around the middle east and avoid any kind of military outcome that would involve the u. s. among other things and he's been trying to de escalate this conflict. jesus, the us in israel have similar goals here. this is a massive terrorist attack that is gunning down is rarely civilians in their towns in their homes. and as we seen so graphically, literally dragging people across the, the board with cars, including a holocaust survivor and a wheelchair women and children. so you can imagine the impact is just having throughout his real and the world should be revolted and what it seen. we have immediately engaged are as rarely partners and uh, and allies present items on the phone with from the student. and yeah, we're early yesterday to assure him of our full support. i was on the phone with these early president, the foreign minister, the entire government has been engaged throughout the region and will be on at the
12:20 pm
pentagon defense secretary lloyd austin has been on the phone as well, including with his counterpart in israel, where he has promised more aid is on the way, in fact, it should arrive within days, according to the pentagon, and that includes new nations. we don't know exactly what is included in that, but it could well include interceptors that israel has been using for its iron dome defense system at to shoot down how much rockets it could will include precision guided munitions. these are the kinds of uh, explosives that israel has been using to target hum us and dive fire into gaza. they would have been running out of some of those or at least taking down their stockpiles. so it makes sense that they might ask for those in the us, just also pre position $2000000000.00 worth of immunization munitions at 6 different sites in israel. israel can use in case of emergency and this would
12:21 pm
likely qualify. that's under an agreement between the 2 countries, and all of that is in addition to the $3300000000.00 in military aid, the u. s. supplies every year. so it's a big show of force. and it's also a commitment that tells the rest of the world. this is where the u. s. alliance stands, as it is certainly a strong show of support. thanks for bringing this up. display john henry, and in washington d. c. let's head to a ron now where docent jabari joins us live from tehran. dosa ron is being accused of helping planned him must his surprise attack on saturday. we've since heard from the ronnie in foreign ministry and it had some strong woods, took us through it a yes. during his weekly press briefing, the spokesperson nasir county dismiss the allegations and he said that the palestinian people have the will, the capability. and it's
12:22 pm
a determination to defend themselves and the, any allegations that are coming towards iran are politically motivated and they are aimed at diverting public opinion to justify any possible actions on iran in the future. he also said if there were to be any of the actions taken against iran when it comes to their um, the allegations that they had a possible role in planning and assisting the attacks that were carried out on saturday and continue to the stay in the palestine and israel and the that the wrong will respond to harshly. and that's, this is not something that is even remotely possible in the minds of the establishment here. that's what happens in palestine. how to do with years of occupation and oppression. and that was the results of not only is really policy, but also what many here believe to be western policies towards the policy. didn't
12:23 pm
people explain to the international audience, the historical context of all of this. why a ron is in some way as a major player in this region. well, a wrong since the revolution of 1979, it has really seen itself as a she on minority in the middle east. it is she a majority country. so there was a number of steps taken by the founder of the revolution. i told her how many to ensure that a rawlins position maintains a secure one of them was to align itself with other resistance groups and not just shared resistance. groups like has the law, but also like how most and as long as you hard to insure their own existence down the line. and the existence of israel has always been a point of contention for
12:24 pm
a wrong. they believe that they don't believe israel has a right to exist as a nation, as a country. and they've never acknowledged that to be the case. they say palestine is a country that it's been a press. so there's a lot of different factors that play at the core of it. of course it's the their own existence, the runs own security and existence down the line in the middle east and the role that they have played. and they believe that the palestinian issue has always been an important one for them because it also not only serves the palestinian people in the nation, but also their own purpose as well in terms of their own existence down the line. so there's been a lot of different groups and elements that iran has aligned itself with to serve that purpose. appreciate you breaking know down for us dosage. barry in tehran. let's head to live in on now, where they know how to joins us from a village in the south of the country. zayna has,
12:25 pm
has belie which is an allied to arrive and bain reacting to washington's military support of is around as well. we haven't heard any statement since the united states announced the arrival of the aircraft carrier in the eastern mediterranean, saying that this was a message to iran and to has the law as well as statements by president biden saying that nobody should take advantage of the situation in other words, not open more friends in the bathtub between israel and thomas, but has the law, has made it clear through its officials and through it statements that it is not going to remain neutral in this conflict. and that in fact, they even sent the message to the israelis and the u. s. government saying stop for a quote as this to put it in foolishness or else in, in, in the senior officials, words you're going to engulf the whole region in war. so husband are really making
12:26 pm
it clear that it is ready and willing to take part in this battle. in fact, it has shown its willingness to the following, an exchange of fire along the border just yesterday. i mean has the lot is playing is cards. the whole so called access of resistance, all the arm to groups that are allied with iran, just look behind me, it isn't, is really settlement. look how close it is. look how easy it would be for a group of fighters to infiltrate. that settlement is now empty, it's, it's, it's nearly abandoned, which shows that people, people are concerned then also hezbollah and iran. they do have another front in syria. their troops are positioned along syria's border with israel. so this is pressure, this is a lot of pressure on this really army. it won't be able to, you know, they're telling them you won't be able just to concentrate on one front, the southern front, with his eyes with garza, but also at the same time through its actions, has well as making it clear that it is treading carefully because it knows what
12:27 pm
a war means. it is costly. yes, it can harm as well, but as well to can harm hezbollah and it could harm left it on. and already the group has a lots of enemies in this country, which believes that the group does not work for the interests of the nation. then i want to pick up on that last point that you mentioned about it, humming 11 on from 11. these people that i've spoken to a lot of them has said, we don't want to be involved in this conflict. we have enough issues going on at our own doorstep. has that been the reaction that you have felt from members of the public in lebanon? well, definitely, that's what they say divided polarized society. and it's of course, it depends who you talk to, you know, has but law still retains a lot of support the money. it's const constituency, the she or community and 11 on, even though there's some dissent with this within this community, the majority support hezbollah. they believe that hezbollah is protecting them. now
12:28 pm
you have the other religious groups in this country who believe that has, well, it does not want to build a state, does not want the rule of law. it wants to be more powerful than the state. and in fact, you know, in, in certain areas of the country it's, they're meant to call the shots, not, not celebrities. yes. there are people who say that love a has, well, i should not be the one who decides whether or not this country is dragged into conflict. they blamed it in 2006. we're starting that, that the devastating war in 2006. but there is no doubt a lot of people in lebanon will tell you that, you know, they support the palestinian people. they support palestinian rights, but it is not 11 on site to wait. okay, thanks so much with an update, as i'm out for the in the southern lebanon, let's pretend to gaza now. and alia, i spoke to a resident that we found lorraine. i began by asking him about that deteriorating situation on the ground, to re fax. hundreds of s strikes occurred. i have an i just have tense. was it
12:29 pm
describe your evening. i think we have run out of addictive, horrifying adjectives to describe the massive disability office or you know, trust that these bombing hold blocks targeting palestinian families as they slapped, targeting mosques on businesses under the gems. but as the dungeon areas, uh, the night was unprecedented. me barely slipped uh the that the situation was terrifying. and i think this is just going to be the beginning because it is right . is it being the bones have not stopped for like 10 hours now i have not even one, almost a minute of break. what have you witnessed, have you been able to go outside at all and say, what level of destruction there has been and, and what buildings and infrastructure has been damaged every published in, in gaza is a target anyone can because by is really my sales or can be killed because
12:30 pm
a he or she happens to be walking by a place that is i'm that dog it's, we are very careful in just a big chunk casualty to buy some and the security uh for the items uh for especially for uh, for the kids. uh, at least everybody is inside. uh because again, it's not any safe contact here that people are inside because it's that i can still can, unplug it, see where wherever they are. so been shutting out is very dangerous because of the constant isn't right in the bones to, according to the un, more than 123000 people have been displaced in the gaza strip. where are they going? have you any sense of what's happening to these people? i think the number is a lot more than that because the majority of people who would leave the areas adjacent to the board does.
