2:05 am
families here live in peace and do not have any links to anything. what happened was revenge a crime. people are searching for survivors on the problem. know where it's safe and there is no where to go. they say no, they don't have one. no, no, no. we all told to evacuate the eastern parts of sun eunice and go to a safe place. but there is no safe place. and because a string of these hospital in the car is understaffed, and on that i think the number of people arriving here needing treatment keeps growing. some of these children's parents have died. many don't know yet how much they have now there's a real mess. it could be and committed against innocent civilians in a separate area there with dozens effective and ambulances and civilian vehicles, still evacuating victims from this house that was directly targeted. journalist reported on the front lines of this war have also become targets. they like menu of
2:06 am
guys or spaces, are now gone forever. these right, a strikes have already killed hundreds of people and injured thousands. but people in gaza fear the worst this digital. com. this will send that over without corresponding target browser is on the ground. the engagement incentives to something of the israeli attacks from the gaza strip continues till this car at moments and is ready. occupation forces is targeting the gaza strip, specifically the noise areas of the gaza strip with heavy bones and all deliveries to this very moment. busy this area, these areas where heavily from budget uh, where residential buildings were level to the ground on the head. so it's uh will, is. now the situation in the gaza strip. a goes from terrible to catastrophe till
2:07 am
this very moment that medical teams is still on able to access. i was cover all my neighborhood, which was easily targeted during the last hour. also civil defense team all trying to reach the place and even to uh, to evacuate victims. now it has to be reported that a number of people are still stuck under the russell's of the destroyed houses inside the gaza strip to this current moment. know the rages of records had been launched from the gaza strip toast. it is really a settlement except that the, during the last hour the, the, is very bombardments in a car on my neighborhood was intensified and at the situation right now in garza is relatively cold. well that's me to a car so i don't know how to judge him. he joins us now from ashton, in southern israel, near the border with gaza. mohammad when we spoke last night, things were very tens. what's the situation like that in terms of security?
2:08 am
now we know that have been multiple incidents around the border regions and we're obviously seeing a barrel just headed at ashcroft. and that's right in this as you let me tell you 1st about the incidents that have been happening around in that region close to the gaza strip. but let me tell you about specifically 2 areas that can put stream and can put some of those seeing those 2 areas saw clashes erupt between how much fighters as well as is really army members. and as a result, at least for how much fighters were killed in those classes. also in the last hour we have seen these really army announced that there has been an exchange of fire in the ask a lot industrial area, which is also close to the border with the gaza. as a result of those clashes of those gun battles. these really armies says they've 3, how much fighters have been killed. so a lot of tension along the border. still,
2:09 am
it's still volatile. it's still a very fluid situation as far as where we are here in ashed on the situation. got very tense, a few hours back at the intersection, you see behind me a one point, it was completely empty like it is now. and then within the course of about 10 minutes or so, you had an influx of dozens of police officers, security personnel, members of the army and reserve is coming in. because it was suspected, as we were told by some of those army members, it was suspected that perhaps there was an infiltration happening along the coast from the sea, of how much fighters into ash dot. now that didn't end up being the case, this perimeter was sealed. you had some gunfire exchange and while we have not gotten concrete details as far as specifically what happened during that operation more and more as really media websites are reporting that this the gunfire that we heard was essentially an instance of friendly fire. different units of these really
2:10 am
army mistakenly firing on each other. that's important to note because this is not the only incidence of friends, the fire that we've heard about the last few days. you have to understand that this is a situation where and there is a lot of panic when all of this was going on around us. when we saw the soldiers going around, telling us that they thought that perhaps this area would be infiltrated by how much fighters you could see the panic on their faces. this is not something you would expect to see from is really members of the armed services. and yet in the last 3 days, the reality on the ground here has changed so much. what was once thought to be something that would be unthinkable. now seems sometimes within the realm of possibility. so the situation certainly has calmed, but what we saw earlier tonight, really an indication of just how traumatize people are of just how many rumors there are out there. how much contradictory information and how volatile the
2:11 am
situation remains and how it can change, really in an instant. the styles you well we know how to do it well several hundreds of 1000 resolve us several ser, not been cold up and you were telling us about what you were saying that i'm towards the board at what is now going on in terms of mobilization throughout the evening we've seen more mobilization whenever you were on the road to the highways in this area. you see more troops being moved closer to the guys and border in the southern direction. you see more military equipment, heavy, military equipment being moved towards the south. this is one of the reasons why every why everybody we have spoken with in these towns and villages and in this city over the last couple of days, why they tell us, they believe that a ground invasion is going to happen. they believe relatively soon. some believe it's going to be eminent nonetheless, that's one of the reason there is so much concern because they just don't know what's going to happen next. but we have seen so many members of the army that are
2:12 am
on the roads. and also one of the more interesting things we've seen is along the highways here. there are many points where essentially reserve is, are coming. they are just leaving their cars and then they are going to join up with their unit. so you see long stretches of the road where there are these cars that have essentially been just a band and along the side of the road as these army reserve, as members are coming to join up with units to essentially join the fight. massage im not down doing that on the ground for us and i started in southern as well. thank you so much mohammed. well that's now across town correspondent. how do i just need she's in west jerusalem for us. hold on how people then responding and knowing the off them off of some today's attacks, but also as they now watch, as well as retaliation, as well as thinking uh which side of the divide you uh, uh, probably uh what is common across the board is offensive anxiety,
2:13 am
and that's a sense of apprehension of what is yet to come and what could unfold not only along the border with guys that but uh, you know, in the country for the far a lot of people having on their mind and what happened back in 2021 when they was at 11, they wore with guys uh and then many of the so called mix cities have turned it back to the fields with a revenge attacks on palestinians. so the is the fear there when you're on the palestinian side and these really side days angered the is we that is increasing by the day as more and more, you know, bodies uncovered one more could do the army reaches of villages in small communities that so far haven't been, they haven't arrived to and cover more and more stories about what and folded there
2:14 am
and by and large when they reach those villages. everybody is bad. today was one of those we had of course funding there earlier in the day. and it was actually quite a gruesome scene and you know, these pictures the body bags one after the other trucks full of them not only circulating on social media. and they're also on as shown on t, v on these in these really media in the loop. so certainly there is anger that is core for revenge, that is incitement. and really when you go around jews and, and for example, and i'm told is the same in other cities. it seems at times has stopped all the shops are close, there is no one barely on the streets. people have stopped up and no one is taking any chances at the moment. hold on as people that grapple with the atrocities that have taken place. it does feel like nothing yahoo is perhaps hoping that this has
2:15 am
a moment taken find some political unity as well is certainly something that he needs as he is trying to show that he has the whole country behind him. now is really a very good inc. time of prices at a showing national so the there at the national unit he bought the prime minister is coming certainly on the, you know, under scrutiny of some from the security establishment which had one to him during that sort of domestic strife that was happening around the before, when did you did the judiciary early in the year, you had 38 weeks of protests, of weekly protest every saturday in tel aviv. you have deep diseases within this country. those divisions still exist. but right now, just in the immediate aftermath of the atrocities that happened,
2:16 am
searching the bit is as a, as then a solo barry p among everyone. but you also do here very angry commons by the survivors of those communities along because a border of those who manage to escape as saying that they hold him responsible for what happened. saying that they were told all the time. that guy that was under the control that the security was under control and then the worst massacre in israel's history happened. so certainly a lot of anger that he does need, that's you this, you emergency unity government, which in essence is a war cabinet. he is now strong to be unequivocal support and from present president joe biden, but domestically he really needs that hold on to a manager at the a cost or is that for us in west harrison? thank you. hold on. well, the us presidents are biden,
2:17 am
has also been speaking on the unfolding situation, and israel and garza that speak to heidi is our customer. she joins me now from washington dc. heidi biden looked almost visibly angry from that podium of a certain associated. this was the emotional delivery he described in disturbing and visceral terms. the suffering that the israeli military has said was inflicted by him aust on civilians. and he again announced the strong support that the us has in standing with israel. what was not mentioned in his remarks though, was any compassion for the civilians in the gaza strip. he did say that him, austin does not speak for civilians there, but there was certainly not equal time nor compassion given to those 2 sides of the divide. he also did talk about a call that by and how with that in yahoo. earlier in the day saying that on this call, he said democracies like israel and like the us are stronger when they uphold the
2:18 am
laws of war. they're really signaling but not targeting civilians and bite and try to draw a comparison between that response and how mosque, who the us labels as terrorist. and now 14 americans are among those who were killed in israel from these attacks, at least 20 are missing, presumed some of them to be among those kidnapped and being held hostage in gaza. here's more of what by and said. we're going to see, continue to stand united, supporting the people of israel, or suffering and unspeakable losses, and imposing the hatred in violence of terrorism. my team is been in near caustic communications. there's really partners. i'm partners all across the region and the world. from the moment this crisis began were shows
2:19 am
you the additional military, such as putting ammunition and interceptors to replenish iron. don't really make sure that israel does not run out of these critical assets to defend that citizen and citizens as well. idea as the u. s. realm sup, support and sends not any lessons i see, but as me blinking to did bite and speak about the civilians that were saying being bombed right now. and garza, no, he did not in a star c a. and that question was actually put to the state department, which indeed the secretary of state antony lincoln will be heading to israel meeting with seniors rarely, officials on thursday. he will be there to get an update on the security situation and also to, as he said, carry out the president's orders to give israel quote, whatever it needs. uh, but yes, when a spokesperson for the state department was pushed on this uh to choose to respond to the killings in gaza. of course, people who are under bombardment,
2:20 am
the spokesperson said, initial essentially that this was a mazda is fault for having started this operation. and that the us support israel and the way that it has responded to this, but blinking, being in the region later this week will also serve as a message to try to keep this conflict from escalating further. the u. s. has been trying to keep the run out of it to keep loving on as well as palestinians in the west bank. and now blinking its presence will further uh share that message as well . display to the world of the us. so stands firmware on israel site in this conflict. how does your caster the following up for us in washington dc? thank you. id. i mean, most of us have released a statement in response to a president bivens condemnation of the group. they say his comments constitution attempt to cover up the is really occupation governments crimes and terrorism against the palestinian people. and the bi than speech does not point to the
2:21 am
massacres committed by the israeli occupation forces against the palestinian people while that springing ariel gold. she is the executive director of the fellowship of reconciliation, the law, just an oldest into faith, peace and justice organization in the us. she now will say, joins me from washington. dc area was we've been saying hit no coal for restraints a tool from by that really surprised. i think this was possibly the most pro israel speech that any president has ever given. and i mean i was and i want, i wasn't, i wasn't surprised. usually we it lease pay lip service to calling for restraint, that i can't say that the us probably calls for restraint. we give almost $4000000000.00 a year to israel's military, but at least we usually pay lip service to it and call for some degree of the escalation. but in this case, president biden was
2:22 am
a really pledging to be part of israel's promise. i mean, they have stated it and in 10 to promise to carry out the risk sick war crimes. well, he did speak about the rule of law. what did you make of that area as well? the rule of law when he speaks about the rule of law, what he isn't speaking about is international law. so the rule of law is kind of a false term for the us to use because we don't abide by international law. so rule of law can be whatever joe biden decides, rule of law. 8 is a rule of law, are the war crimes in the violations of international law that the us committed in afghanistan now international law, which says that you cannot deny a people. so you cannot deny food water, a fuel and latricia. ready the 2 civilians like is being done,
2:23 am
that's international law and the burden administration is yet to say that that, that israel's actions to enact this to tighten on the seas. so that such necessities as electricity and food and water are not allowed in is unacceptable. and it's in humane and it's immoral, and it's a violation of international law, even the eu has come out against it saying this is the, this is a violation of international law. well, we do know when we talk about international rules that americans are also among those being held captive by how mazda at the moment. and we know that 14 americans also died in the attacks on saturday. how much is that influencing this approach from the white house? do you think it's her effect? um the actions the acts that the mos militants took,
2:24 am
the slaughter of civilians, the taking of uh, hostages, elderly women is, is horrific and must be condemned. but partnering with israel, who have hinted that they will not put the rescue of the hostages ahead of their revenge. uh, you know, they, they've closed in the strip entirely bombing the roof of crossing. so they now have a captive population to slaughter. and they, they have, they have really suggested that they, they, they, i think, believe this, that they won't let the hostages get in the way of that. so it's, it's, you know, of her risk massacre uh, the, the likes it, which we haven't seen since at least 198211 on in the boat to take place with us complicity and, and by didn't, has, has blood on his hands around your organization works on piece and reconciliation.
2:25 am
so let me ask you this before i let you go. it really feels like this has become a war 2 of narratives, not any with the us, but also it's western allies. and what we're seeing from types of the countries in the wild given that and this deeply polarizing space that when our and is there any room for mediation here, there has to be room for mediation because there is no military solution to this conflict. the only solution to this conflict in the words of isaiah are to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks to, to reverse the course that were on one of apartheid and separation. one of de, humanizing and entire people, one of bombing mosques and churches and schools in homes. and instead to build a society based on our shared values are true shared values of the quality and human
2:26 am
rights and justice. a real goal that the executive director of the fellowship of reconciliation, speaking to us from washington dc. thank you so much for joining us. ariel and sharing your thoughts on russian president vladimir person that says the situation demonstrates the failure of us policy in the region, especially namely region. unfortunately, we can see a shop deterioration of the situation in the middle east. i think that menu will agree with me that this is a clear example of the failure of the policy if the united states in the middle east, which tried to monopolize the resolution of the conflict. but unfortunately, wasn't concerned with finding compromises acceptable to both sides. on the contrary, it promoted its own ideas about how they should be done. put pressure on both sides 1st on one side, then on the other, every time without taking into account the fundamental interests of the palestinian
2:27 am
people. that in mind, 1st of all, the need to implemented or the un security council decision on creation of an independent self and palestinian state. is there any police say they killed 2 palestinians and occupied these choice them who held stones at them on tuesday? as well as also brought to travel routes inside the occupied westbank. how corresponded to him on con, has this report from ramallah of the that's going bucks a month to month behind the the occupied westbank is now not only occupied, it's effectively located. these really only has turned it into an archipelago separation. you call and leave your home to go visit some of your friends and then they bring area. 3.2000000 palestinians, a simply stop the dripping. i should i left 10 minutes ago. i am sick,
2:28 am
but they're not letting me in. this is was the when we used mules to move around in the old days. now we can't even get anywhere with cause is really false, is of also severely restricted the border with jordan, the crossing point of the policy. things want to travel abroad, leaving 1000 stranded say, hey leah is the head of settlement monitoring of the applied research institute to slip. the specializes in these real system of checkpoints and restrictions on palestinians, but was actually going to be the west bank is surrounded by more than $567.00 check points by the occupation at the green line or within the west bank. and these new restrictions, i've turned it into small prisons and the occupied controls on entries. an exit loop. this is the d c r check point, just north of them. i like it divides palestinian territory. now these ran these, make it very difficult for palestinians to normally cross these check point. but now it's impossible. they've just shut it down completely in the palestinian town
2:29 am
of war. this road that runs through it cannot be used by palestinians. sometimes these rays make exceptions for medical family emergencies, but even that small concession has now gone. if you're palestinian and you visited a neighboring area on saturday, you're now stuck so many here field. this effective blockade may not be temporary, but it's simply a pre cause a to even heavier is written restrictions that may will become permanent and wrong code. how does that remo left the occupied westbank us? we've also learned that the israeli army has 5 artillery toward syria and says it was responding off to motors were launched towards colin heights from within certain territory. israel has occupied the golan heights since 1967 would have also been explosions on israel's northern border with lebanon. these really minute treat, launched on tennessee strikes the in response to rockets attacks by has by already have some is in the cora in southern lebanon for us. there is a significant deadlock meant with the mouse is out of some brigades issuing
2:30 am
a statement, claiming responsibility for the miss signs on the rocket. stocks were launched in south lebanon today. this is very significant because if we put this besides yesterday's, as long as you have infiltration to the end of the board as to what's the israel and engaging the bottle, it is where the army we're seeing now and you dynamic keel in the boonies front as i said before, this is an open ation area, and this operation area is now engaging palestinian factions on lebanese sore. and this is the 1st time since 1982 that lebanese, i'm sorry paula, send you instructions are engaging directly in a fight with these readies under the minis bought us. this is the, the development that seems to be kind of a different then all what's been happening the past days.
