unarmed civilians. they are attacking us women and children are waging war on women and children. shouldn't they be fighting against an army? where is it? the goals of health committees? 3 says a ballast teen is killed every 5 minutes in the site. the tax on to stay on you and this is one of the places where these are the armies tools policy needs to go to avoid being killed on sunday. a statement from the army consent fight digits huts for more than a 100 military target. seems kind eunice we were inside the house, my sons and grandsons. suddenly without the warning, the bump, the house, 14 people were killed. only this girl, my grand daughter, fully less advised. i hope she would get better and stay safe and he made their souls to rest in peace. hospitals and clinics are on

a difficult gulf with law just hospital. the she found is overcrowded with people who have slipped their homes. what's left of him and with medical supply, so finding out and that's threat to through me. then that's going to be the boss, the head start off. what's on the burden on the health sector. it's so huge and large numbers of people are taking shelter here in schools in total disorder. we've no hygiene either. it was because if it demick across does that and they on it there have to ation is extremely dangerous. it's almost 10 in red, crescent stuff on what's hospital in kansas city, say they have a fuse. these. they need me to tell his order to evacuated the facility. they say it's impossible to transfer severely ill patients from intensive care units and the as health work as they are morally responsible for the people in the health care. how much fun does you earlier we spoke to is amelia. it was

a new now and the phone from hun, eunice, that's in southern gods. and she told me what told us more about the situation there at the moment. stupid have been so something for the last couple of hours. uh, which was the limited so nice. we have, we have no idea how. uh, because the, uh, the amount of supplies we have, we 2 is going to be enough for all of these numbers of people. now we have uh more than $20000.00 uh, display people in the place and around the place. so i have those with, you mentioned that there is uh, discrimination between uh the organizations themselves. so not all the people have the same uh, supplies or they stay in the same place. some people have electricity, others don't let people have access to keywords or others done. so this created a lot of the problems between people and also they were kind of inc, here,

take your findings between them. do you and compound it. tony were uh, uh, the admin. it's just as much it as, as they have been exposed to the we have a see, we have a 1st thing. all the people who are in 2000 we'll say in the same place, we don't have any of these as even the fluids and the water. the house is very limited. so uh, it doesn't make any sense. people are so i think they're trying to understand what's happening, who's doing this? and what about to happen in the next couple of hours? are we going to stay here? are we going to vacuum? wait again. nobody knows. and israel is evacuating towns along the border with gauze, a head of an expected ground defensive in the enclave. child stratford census this report from xerox in southern israel are these rarely ami continues to pound. the density populated gauze, a strip, the head of what it says will be

a coordinated wide, raging land and sea operation. and the promise to me in territory. qsi time us of trying to stop people from leading to southern garza, before the offensive stops on us. as the issue, warnings to the civilians not to evacuate. and when people didn't listen to those warnings will come us. they have actually stopped civilians and they have stopped co boys of go civilians trying to flee from the situation and listening to all these. and knowing that they are much better off. so because he does a river, then staying in the northern part of these right, the army continues to deploy troops and heavy weaponry. strengthening its position at the border with garza palestinian flights has continued to fire rockets from the strip. most are intercepted by the i in the defense system.

as intercepted, real kits explode above. adults repeated warnings, bodies rating ministry, the remaining civilians in the town, and they're all starting to move most a reluctant to go about 4 to 5 years. i've lived here, i have no choice, but to go. we have the strongest army in the world, so we won't be thomas. we started with an after a week, but it hasn't. i'm just taking what i can carry. this time. it was caused by one of the rockets fired from gaza. the policy being territory is around 3 kilometers in that direction and they're all numerous other houses along the street. but it also being hit as well as heavy as bombardments of gauze or in history is unrelenting, destroying in time neighborhoods and killing more than 3000 people. as i did in the midst of it, old hundreds of thousands of palestinians afflicting for their lives. charles strapped down to 0, civil something his ro. okay, charles,

we just watch your report, your live with us now, are you getting a better sense of what this offensive could look like? i mean, what's the very latest on that specifically? what does this really intend to do in the northern part of gaza where it's told civilians to leave as well? what we do now, according to these ready ministry, is that there's going to be a massive coordinated the land and sea sold on that area of, of northern garza. i brings you guys a number of times i can tell you, certainly that fall northern section around the area is crossing, which of course is back now in control of these right is so we understand that we that area is an empty space behind it. and then you start getting into these population areas populated areas that run full, i suppose about a little cranky, about $1520.00 cold, 15 kilometers shops into the gaza strip. that will take you up to the area where

the is right. the ministry have said that palestinians should go in order to avoid being hit, but it is very densely populated. i mean, we've seen the shots of the buildings being destroyed. the, these boss great strikes, taking out the entire blocks residential areas in terms of the tactics in terms of how these, where it is going to do that. because we cannot say which one would presume it will involve a lot of recognizance. and we know that the bottom bulb and has been a mess save, and it's according to these where it is all intents and purposes, all implications of is this. i all ready. i'll just show you some of the damage again done to some of this area of southern israel. we're still in town or state laws, and this isn't all the impact. so i you can see where the palestinian rotate came through screen to will see the shop. no miles on the flow there and if you come up and have a look here, you'll see the impact site where the me saw exploded again,

shrapnel all over the rules. us all of the house. there are very, very few people here left instead of all um there was an evacuation is we were reporting in that package. but evaluation if what we understand is still only going, but there are still a few people here in the last 1015 minutes. we've had a big barrels of outgoing, won't be on the stands to be outgoing. all tillery strikes going into gauze. i mean, the goals and folder is about 3 kilometers in that direction. i'm looking at a plume of smoke the possibly marine. i can, can show you behind those buildings. and yes, as i say that had been balances of miss also throughout the day intermittently here on the town all over the town to stare out one around 2 hours ago, 6 me. so i was so close that the burning shrapnel was pulling around our feet.

so yeah, it's very difficult, as i say, to tell you exactly how these right is going to do that. we wouldn't be. nobody's expecting them to give away the ministry strategy. but so we know that it is going to involve a lot, a lot of military equipment, the vast amounts of, of tanks and an a p c's and special for which is one can imagine at least 300 and $60000.00 was obviously being pulled up for this effort, and that's on top of the regular army, so it's going to be a huge, a sold and sounds here as charles transferred reporting from 0 to charles. thank you very much for bringing us all the latest that we know about this plan, military offensive and for now, there are still many, many questions about it as the, as really haven't been very specific. i want to turn now to mama john whom, how many you're in occupied east jerusalem. you're feeling the ripple effects of the war and gaza, where you are. tell us what it's like in jerusalem and the more to 0

if it's very tense here. one of the things that i keep hearing from palestinians that i've been speaking with here pretty serious. when is the very concern, not just about what's going to happen to palestinian residents and got but also what's going to happen to palestinians here. and we've heard from many of them here who said it was that, you know, they are telling younger relatives stay at home. there were that if younger palestinians go out at a time like this, that they will be targeted by security forces. we've heard several reports of men in their twenties and thirties, that when they're walking close to the old city, that security forces because there is a massive secure presence here right now. they will pump them, but they will ask to look at their phones to, to see that they don't have potentially, any, any videos that have been filmed out of gaza. we're also hearing about people who are worried about if they would come at some point. if there is a ground in a ground invasion into gaza, which they believe will happen imminently, that they will be targeted by security forces. there's also

a lot of concern about palestinians being targeted by settler groups being attacked by settler groups going forward. and just in the last couple of hours, we've heard about re blockades being put up in at least 2 neighborhoods and occupied east through someone roads that would lead from those neighborhoods in to west jerusalem. so they believe that they are essentially being given a message, hey, don't smoke, don't even think about coming out to support, you know, palestinians and gaza. and make sure you're aware that if you do, we will be watching you. it's a time when people are very worried about what's going to be happening in the days ahead. and it's also you see it the streets much empty on a day like today's other times of the year because people a lot of them staying and staying home, only going out if they really need to 0. well, how did i wonder, what you can tell us about the is really governments cuz turns regarding a possible regional escalation. later in the show,

we're gonna be talking about us secretary state and to be blinking mentally store, we're going to be going to iran speak our correspondent there, see what they're saying, and high on our radar. and our agenda as well is what's been happening in the israel living on board or so that's a lot for the is really government to be factoring it and have they said anything about this? this is rarely officials are sending a message very clearly throughout the day. the last phase as well. there are messages they will protect israel at any all costs and they will go wherever they need to in the region. in order to do that, let me just tell you what we heard earlier today from the top sort of person for the is really army done. a guy. he said, the military will operate anywhere in the east, the midst, ongoing war and god, and the frequent clashes on the border with lebanon. he said, we're always looking around us in the entire middle east, east, really? all me. we'll operate anywhere in the middle east to fulfill is real security,

james. we are highly prepared and all the reading it now just a short while ago. we also heard a statement from the defense submit. your go on. he said, we will reach all the hamas terrace infrastructures. we will reach all the tunnels . we will reach all the operatives and we eliminate them. we will not complete the mission and it will be a powerful where it will be a deadly worth. it will be a precise war and it will be a war that will change the situation forever. so that just gives you a sense of the kind of rhetoric that we are continually hearing from various as really, officials. it's a message that is loud and clear. it is directed simultaneously to the population here, telling the population here they will do everything they can to protect him. but also to the wider region essentially saying if there is a regional conflagration, we are ready. we will operate whatever we need to operate and it will be interesting to see what the rhetoric will be when you have the continuation of answering me blinking your secretary of state is to or in the region and his

returning to israel as well, 0. all right, mom is having zoom from occupied east jerusalem. thank you very much. thanks for setting that up as well because that's what we're gonna try and figure out right now us secretary of state anthony blinking has met egyptian president of the fatah, c. c in cairo to discuss the gods of war, stacy told blink and israel's actions in gaza went beyond self defense and amounted to co collective punishment of the palestinians. he also said this was a just a short while ago that egypt rejects the targeting of any civilians in the conflict . it is

to ensure this patio hate is in washington dc. let's try to understand what's going on here. what is anthony blinking trying to treat, achieved during this tour of the middle east? is there a headline get for the us secretary of state as well as there's a headline get we don't know it yet. it's interested in who's traveling to israel on monday. that was it on the agenda, so it could seem to truly seem to indicate that he's been working on something, but we don't know what that is yet, but hopefully we'll find out. but really he is had the same message in every single one of these capitals that he's gone to. and the 1st thing he says is, we do not want this to go into a broader war in the region. then we need your help getting the people who've been kidnapped out in egypt piece, specifically going to be talking about the roof

a crossing there, about 500 americans with dual citizenship or just plain americans in gaza, off other for nationals. they've basically been told get to the roof across it, and we don't know what it's going to be open, but it could open quickly and it could close quickly. in fact, they came out saturday and said we have a plan and we have an agreement yet get there between $12.00 and $5.00 and the crossing will be open and it wasn't. so he's working on that with egypt. but yes, the more interesting thing is he's headed back to israel, and we're also starting to see a minor shift. but when it comes to american politics, when it comes to israel, it really does matter exact words that they use. and it's been important interesting because just recently we started to hear from president joe biden say we need to get humanitarian aid. and because of the implication was it needs to come in through egypt. but we've just heard from his national security adviser jake sullivan, and they send it one of the sunday morning chose say that israel needs to respect

their gods as people and gods is right to food, water, and shelter. and the again so that, that should be respected. by israel, so not exactly call it on them to end the siege, which is what they say is against all international law, but an indication that they might be headed in that direction. so, so far, lincoln has been to bahrain the you a jordan, saudi arabia here in car, and then as you said, he goes back to israel. do we know how us policy has been received in those countries so far as well? i can tell you how it's been received here in the united states. there was a recent poll and about 44 percent of americans said that is really restore the is really response was right 26 percent said it was too much. 27 percent said it was too little. i think it's important to put in the context this was just taken. and really if you look at american media,

you haven't heard much about what's happening to the palestinians. most of the people who've been talking there been these rallies, who were injured or affected by the attack from hold off. but it's starting to change a little bit. i'm now starting to see for really the 1st time pictures of the destruction in gaza on the mean american cable networks. we still really hear from very many palestinians, but it is possibly a turning point because 8 and 10 americans say that they are worried about this turning into a wider war. and obviously divide wants to win re election and that would be very, very hard to do if you launches the us into another war. but importantly, 7 in 10 americans say they are paying close attention to the conflict just in broader sense. israel palestine is really not high up there. if you ask americans their concerns and foreign policy, ukraine, russia, that usually tops the list around. but the fact that americans are paying attention

makes it even more important as to what the american media is showing. and they are starting to explain that the way the living conditions in gaza. i don't think the average american realizes they are in fact trapped there and not allowed to leave patty. that's really interesting on that polling coming out of the us because of course, whatever, you know, the opinion is in the us could very well end up impacting what the, what the leadership, whether it's the president or the secretary state. and i'm saying and positions and of taking on this conflict. how do you go hand reporting from washington d. c? thank you so much. i us or you're watching as a 0. a quick reminder of our top stories this hour before we take a short break. first of all, i can show you those pictures of an owner was full in gaza now unaware of the un agency for palestinian refugees. they have many schools across gaza and tens of thousands of people have been seeking shelters in those schools because those

places are quote, unquote, the conflicted. that means is real knows the locations of those schools knows not to target them. so that's what you're looking at. right now also is really a strikes of killed more than $2300.00 palestinians since last saturday. that includes $724.00 children is really military has killed more palestinians and 8 days of conflict than it did in $51.00 days of war. and gaza in 2014 the number of his release killed in how mazda is military operation stands at 1300. and that includes $286.00 soldiers. the u. n says nearly 1000000 palestinians have been displaced in the 1st 7 days of the war. around foreign minister jose and a mirror of the line and has met guitars shake to me and been amato tiny here. and though they discussed the latest developments in gaza of july and said that the conflict will not end if israel continues attacking civilians on saturday,

he met how mazda is political leader is smile, m e a in guitars capital well, dosage of already isn't around capital. there on doors, iran is known to be a main backer of homos. what's their position on de 8 of this conflict as well? we just heard from the rainy, informed minister in doha, during his meeting with the mirror of katara. and he made it very clear and had one of the strongest warnings from her on that we've heard over the past 8 days. he said that if the situation continues and the is rarely bombardment and aggression, as you call that, continues on the palestinian, the situation will expand. they will not be confined to just garza. this is something very significant that we have heard from the high ranking, uranian official, now for their support from us. it's no secret. iran has been a staunch supporter of the group since its inception, and the brand new leadership has maintained their position that they will continue

to support from us any which way they can and any which way they're required to by the organization itself. and that has only been reiterated over the past 8 days or so. the us is moving major military assets to the region. first, it was one aircraft carrier, and now it's a 2nd, the aircraft carrier that's on its way. uh and they have specifically said, you know, this is to prevent either has block or iran from trying to escalate. this has the wrong commented on this at all. or hey, ron's position is that these moves by the united states are actually seen as an escalation themselves by moving these a major uh warships to the region. it sends a message that they are ready and willing to defend their own interest. and that is something they range and subset that is very dangerous because their interference is what, what is fueling the instability in this region. again, i want to point out something during the past 4 days that we saw jose number up to

law here and visit 4 countries including iraq, 11 on syria and cuts are, is language change quite drastically from the 1st day on thursday where he spoke after meeting with the head of his bullet has something to start, like he said that there is still time to try and contain the situation trying to de escalate. but he did stress that the groups such as has the law and other resistance groups were ready and their fingers were on the trigger. warning that if this situation continues, there could be an escalation, but not directly threatening israel. on his last day in doha, we saw him on sunday during his meeting with the mirror of cuts are he said, that's it. the situation is, if it's not remedied, if it doesn't de escalate it, then there is no telling how large the conflicts will get. and iran, along with other regional players, can no longer be an observer directly hinting that iran is willing to enter into

this conflict directly. if israel doesn't step back, okay, and that's why we're watching it. so close the door. so you're, thanks for walking us through it today. thank you very much. dore. such a battery reporting from different as israel is fighting on 2 fronts at the moment . for 8 days it has pounded the gaza strip. dropping thousands of bombs on the already besieged enclave and now confrontations of escalated on his northern border with 11 on at least one is rarely has been killed and 3 wounded officer has ballasa targeted a military post near the border and a miss silas attack in response to that the is really army has shelled lebanon's border and setup a for kilometer long buffer zone. as a 0 is are the how sion has more for us from the shop and 11 on the other calling to you on the road between the shop and dogma. shop which is a long road the the today with list 5 attacks from the east side on this ready side. so now we can see

a lot of retaliation going on. we can hear that very, very clearly, especially in this, this area. i think that all right, now, rockets being launched from lab and on to watch is right. there are 5 of taxes raise, read about to retire. the i think has will loving ritathui a think to the retaliation. escalation situation is escalating garage when he bought direly because i mean over the past 7 days, the tax. but this is the 1st day that we see this amount of tax happening. and at the same time, while that is on his way, the killed in a should to laws reported now with heating that the 5th has will attack when has will attacked and is ready ministry vehicle that i need to on those really side. there is, there are 5 casualties on the east side today. there's one in june,

but the ex change is intensifying any way. whereas every, not one is caught into the consent. to what extent this is going to slide into the big conflict of both israel and homos have been accused of violating international humanitarian law with their attacks on civilians. israel has dropped thousands of bones on crowded residential areas of gauze, flattening entire neighborhoods. these attacks on civilians are in violation of article 25 of the hague conventions. a series of international treaties. legal experts say that the intentional targeting civilians by both homeless and israel also constitutes a war crime. since i'm off last, it's military operation last saturday, killing 1300 is really use. israel military has imposed a total siege on gaza, which had already been under a land air and sea blockade for 16 years. at least 28 health care workers and gaza

has been targeted by is really airstrikes. and then there's the evacuation order for hospitals in northern garza palestinians and gaza described be forced evacuation order in the north and the relentless bombardment as quote, collective punishment. and under the 4th geneva convention, israel as the occupying power is prohibited from the porting or transferring part of the population from the land. it occupies that evacuation order going against its a toby cabin is an international human rights lawyer and a specialist at the, on the international criminal court. the 1st thing that came up was as ordering dozens to move from the north to the sides. um and, and you know, in very, very difficult circumstances. now the thing that we have to record is that, um, palestine is under the occupation of, of israel. and so they're all, they're all set to rights and rules to stem from under the 4th geneva convention.

as an occupying with our 2 and you are prohibited from moving civilians from, from one part to another part by the internally or externally. there are 2 competing situations here. so, so the 1st of all, there's the, the, the, the responsibilities of an off, final thoughts and then any military strikes. and of course, as you say, is or has the right on self defense. but the, the ordering forcing civilians i to the area is, is in an attempt to protect them in any military strikes. so, so there are 2 competing i'm mattress, the that we need to consider. but as we've heard from from you in sector general, we've heard from a number of other elements of the you in the eyes you'll see is expressing very real concern of over the practical affinity for the civilians to move to the other issue that we've seen since yes.
