present it, this is, there's an issue now that is right, has rejected the solution that has been adopted by the united nation. what advantage it do you have 22 countries that are completely impotent in front of this mess? getting an industrial scale, i guess federal arabs, you know, if god forbid belgium was bombed, delagarza is bomb. i'm sure the o b as wouldn't be, you know, talking about that. that's the thing then would be something doing something about what it was going to do. now this is uh, basically stats on data resolution when they got relations with these are with this stuff, the normalization with the recall the investigators when they do something a bit more with the fridge and they have a model with the united states and the european union with because it has to start with the out of work because this is the region. when we talk about why did the,

the war, it means why the non celia, you're ok. egypt from song is the region and the side of the photo arrows. what are they going to do not continue with normal relations continue having? is there any, i'm sure there's dancing that way to address capital. so now that they have a you and i could missions a gentleman or some of the, you should the out of what used to act up on this symbolic victory or doors. because this has to be applicable to something stephanie, the multiple because it doesn't have the power to do so it's not, you're not technician security council should member state stuffing, but then they need to do something with other real powers before the advanced agenda. and then it turns out is not aggressive the agenda space, the agenda. ready is ceasefire, they're not jump days, humanitarian assistance, they're not jump day is the person in lifestyle, not this important,

that is very large. but just quickly on that, if you allow me to take just over 27, probably i hope not. what probably we have discussed in terms of getting of shipping the items, what we show on october 7, just today is this one day. probably is there a have skipped far more civilians that have ask you on october 7th. so we're probably gonna stop, stop talking about october 2nd. i start talking about up to about 20 something. right. okay, thank you. my one for the time being. well, let's cross back, the guys that i speak to so far the notes, he's joining us from the north and does a stuff like because there seems to be reports that suggest there are classes taking place between uh how mouse is really forces in a number of places particularly around the eastern gaza strip. but can you confirm this? what are you hearing? yes sir. i just heard the wheeler clock. she's all taking place now between public

speaking and fighting girls, specifically the administrator. we can go from a custom brigade and we received some videos uh, from the announcement that are waiting for and when they fired a coordinate total kit toward is, are you trying to are moving across the board, the line and the eastern side of the city still that i, you the, uh, the stikes already have tying in the city in the dealership areas. um, and they plot here, which is a small town then the most west coast, regardless of the board, the northern border line with aids that i have and. 2 tell us more about how in the summer games have been responding to what sounds like is unlimited ground incursion into the gaza strip. as we have been

listening on the watching guys that are really clear declarations on statements that they have been destroying the infrastructure of the policy and fighting goals . but to the terms of, uh, finding brokers moving on your extending the range of the fire because summer gates are still able to fire rogers of rockets every now and then and even extending the range of the fi out of their, of their okay. it's uh that each tend to be very short, and i stood on the even including the short range one the fact that i had the e r tillery across the board, the line. so the in terms of infrastructure weird, we can understand that by these statements that they can send on by the use of root cause the luncheon every now and then that still they are working on the plan that they set to time ago. and that they are still the or they succeed toward,

based on this plan that they have said, this is from what we see on the ground. so the last 4 of your workers was fired like an hour ago, and it was short to arrange a short change orders before that there was a loan, greens rootkits to what is a television. so you danced an octave and working on we don't see the today destroyed, and the infrastructure of the fighting groups and so forth. is there a sense um from, from what you're from, what you were sensing then this incursion into the gaza strip. this one this evening is different to, or perhaps more expensive to the ones that is real. conducted the past 2 nights where they said they conducted limited incursions into the gaza strip to let's, let's say that tonight is the most violent nighttime, this well as well. 1 an indication from something bigger expected to happen,

but we learn from even from, of those resources or from the really the flourishes. 1 they are cutting out limited operations, but these limited operation could be extended and even more from a place to another. this could be a preparation for also gone to prison, but the still this is or on we expect lots of tricks and lots of games as, as they call it, the water. i get, you know, some of the tactics of the war a takes on houses on a still we need more time to understand what is a new plan and what the findings of doing this woman. but what point they're each both site and the exchange of the file. okay, so far, thank you so much for the time based off the hinge reporting for us from the north of gaza. oh and just to bring you an update in fact, um, so that's,

that's the latest picture from gaza and as these incursions into the gaza strip. a take place by b is really army v on cosign for gauge. that's the military rank of time us is saying that it's foiled and is really ground incursion into best known as well as the east of british. and that violent classes are taking place now. and also they will pass on brigade saying that $6.00 and $2.00 armed themselves were fired at is really army vehicles since they started the ground advance at times near the border in the northern gaza strip. so these are the latest lines that we're hearing from and for some for gauge in garza as well. the white house is saying that they'll continue discussions with israel about the man, or if any ground defensive and to american aircraft carrier straight group groups have been deployed to the eastern mediterranean and around $900.00 forces to the middle east. but the pentagon spokesman says that the u. s. is focused on preventing a larger conflict. look,

i'm not gonna get into hypotheticals. and as i made very clear, we have no interest in getting into a conflict with iran. again, what we're focused on is regional security and stability in the region. we're focused on defeating isis in our rec, and syrian supporting our partners there. but if and when our forces are attacked, we will take necessary steps to protect them and send a strong deterrent message. i don't have any new deployments to announce at this time is you know, we have position the u. s. s. ford carrier strike group in the eastern mediterranean. we're sending the u. s. s. i, as in our carrier strike group to the us central command region. in addition to deploying approximately 900 forces into the middle east to provide air defense capabilities. importantly, those forces are not going to israel. they do not have anything to do with the situation there. they are for force protection purposes and again to provide us with options to defend our forces and send a deterrent message. again, i want to emphasize our focus here is on preventing

a broader regional conflict. in addition to providing military capabilities, we are actively communicating with our partners in the region to seek advice and their thoughts on how best to ensure that it does not wide into a broader conflict. appreciating all the expertise and insight that are partners throughout the middle east have in terms of these types of situations. so again, right now the situation is contained with israel and home us. and we plan to keep it that way or, or was announced to lauren's corps if he's a former us assistant secretary defense. he's joining us from delaware. thanks for your time with us on al jazeera, i just like to ask you about the pentagon for just a moment from larry corp and the development of the day is that the u. s. has said that it's attached to facilities in syria used by iran. slattich revolutionary guard corps as well as iran back groups. i mean, what do you make of the timing of all this? and is this a dangerous escalation?

well, although you're not, they tried to respond. because recently there have been attacks on america and forces in syria. and at a rock which had been a long before this war started. and while nobody was killed, we had about 20 people who were injured. and this is not different. we've done this before the last, so retaliation we had in it was in march. and the pentagon has been very careful to separate these things from the war ha, in not in, in, in ga. so, but the fact of the matter is that the rainy ends are involved in those attacks and not in syria. and while they may not have told home also exactly when to when they, they were preparing them to invade for quite a while. right. but something us be worried that this might potentially lead to a direct confrontation with iran, for example, as well. we should always be worry,

but we have substantial forces in the region. i mean, i'm a retired navy captain. i can tell you i one aircraft carrier and the other 5 vessels are enough to wage a major war we're going to have to they have, we have hundreds of ground based airlines there. and we have a couple of 1000 marines on, on call. so if, in fact, it shouldn't deteriorate into a war with stock with a rand, obviously will be prepared for the car to these fleets. larry corps, by deploying these fleet to him by deploying the soldiers, is the aim here. so they to protect israel, the us as ally in the region, or is the us sending a message to 2 countries. and so to whom? well, we're trying to protect israel and guarantee the security by preventing this war

from expanding for example, has the law get a much more, substantially involved in the northern part of the gaza? or the radians are actually, you know, using any of their armed forces. but the fact of the matter is we're hoping this over whelming show of force will the char a ran from broadening this conflict and also ensure that the israel is, will be able. busy to are, you know, to do their task of destroying home off once and for all that a certainly what the is released have said that they, they aim to do since the beginning of this war on october, the 7th from what you've seen so far. it's been 3 weeks. what has israel actually achieved when it comes to its military and strategic objectives as well? basically, it has weakened to haul los, it hasn't completely our blood or rate is on. but the fact of the matter is that

they have been attacking via air for 3 weeks. what are you based on that they were going to my mouse because up until right up until today we saw from us and under cassandra gates fire rockets into the cities close to tel aviv? well, i said week of them not eliminate them. yeah. i mean, that will take a day, take a while and the cost will be tremendous. you know, if israel has to go in on the ground to accomplish the mission. but we have tried to tell lee is really not to go in all the ground precipitously. in fact, i think when this war started on october 7, 3 weeks ago, everybody would have been dumbfounded that the israel east had not launched a ground to attack in 3 weeks. so we're hoping that the bombing will weaken the button off that they will be willing to when their supporters will be willing to

negotiate. but you know, by and large, israel has ford, how boss previously, and they just left them weak and but did not destroy them this time. all mosse will have to go. but the question is, can we do that without tremendous civilian casualties? yes, 7000 killed. so far and the gaza strip, but we'll have to leave it there. lauren's clerk, corp we thank you for your time with us on out to 0. we're bringing patio have joining us from washington dc for patio talk to us a little bit more about the us as role in this conflict as well. it's been very interesting we're seeing is your just saw in your interview with the general rider . we're seeing national security spokesman that jim john kirby come out and really try to stress that this is not something that the us is doing that don't leave it all up to the israeli military to explain its missions and what it's doing in gaza and the occupied westbank now, so they're trying to put the distance between what's happening on the ground and

the us. but i think that's impossible to do unless you look back at the last couple of weeks of us support. first. they said immediately after that they were going to fly and started line and immediately, additionally, munitions additional protective equipment, additional weapons. then we saw the president in a highly unusual move you as president job, i'm fluid to israel, to give that bear hug. embrace of a permanent str, benjamin that yahoo! and he offered full throated support. i he didn't mentioned the palestinians. i believe it was for days after the october 7th attack and then we saw they said, a 3 star general to israel's or help advise them what it would be like to do close combat. this is the general who was close up in the fight against the sonic state and he was in the lead in flu shot. so he knows exactly the difficulties that go with close combat. and then we have the a, by the ministration. ask for $14000000000.00 in additional aid for israel. so we

have seen importantly, and notably, they have not called for a ceasefire. they've talked about getting humanitarian aid and say, it's not enough say they're working on it. but you've seen this president fully back this prime minister, this war cabinet, this country doing what they're now doing. right. and patty just talked us a little bit about the event that unfolded little earlier on, which is the us are talking to facilities in syria. we reported the use by a ron's atlantic revolution regard code because the core because there have also been a tax on us bases and recent weeks and iraq as well as in syria. and there have never been the 21 injured. i think it's important to know that we've been talking to the pen to god, obviously, depending on correspondence or in those briefings. and they really hadn't wanted to come forward with the number of people that have been injured. they said some has suffered, it's just something you know, some casualties, nothing serious, some injuries, nothing serious. but then we find out the 21 were injured their back of duty,

but they had things like traumatic brain injury which can be very, very serious. i think it was very notable that depending on didn't want to put that information front forward because they read the polls just like i read the polls and 8 out of 10 americans say they are very concerned that this is going to lead to a broader conflict so we saw these increasing attacks on the 900 troops, us troops in syria, and i think it's 2500 in a rack. and, and they were just adding and $900.00 more. so not quite sure where they're going to go when they're going to lead. but we did to increasing attacks that the us had been down plane, but the president did make the decision to do these 2 surgical strikes. so as they called it in syria, they didn't really go into great detail about casualties, but they wanted to send the message to a rad that they will respond in kind of. and i wanna also point out, yeah, so what's going on in washington? i think that might be noticed that notable so often times uh ive cuz obviously

occurred the white house for a very, very long time. kimberly hawk it has does a great job at it now. but often times through both republican and democratic presidents, what i saw happening when they wanted to send a message, particularly when it comes to israel, they never do it publicly. but all of a sudden you start to see stories planted in the local media that say that this is what they're saying behind the scenes. the reason they do that is they want to tell people that they are trying to go in this direction, but they can still deny it because all the sources are off the record. but we have the washington post coming out these very, very good journalists with the washington post, very plugged in 5 sources saying that they have urged israel not to do a full on the incursion into god so that they say they should target him off with the air strikes and using some special forces teams for precise mrs. inside to try and get at the leadership of her boss. i think that's interesting, that's coming out now, just as this mission is getting underway, i said that it's in washington to leave speak. this is a binding ministers and say,

we're still here to position, we're not doing it publicly, but just so you know privately with the, as rarely as we're doing this right. so now is that, in fact we're to have an impact. as we know, the us has a tremendous amount of leverage that it could use in israel, but it almost in fact, i don't think it ever does, at least not publicly that i can think of. okay, thank you so much. pa declined reporting for us from the us less so bringing so or hire out. joining us now from occupied is to respond to tell us what you're hearing from your end about the is really middle treat incursion in 2000 as well. just of the, what was the particular hang was saying is the use rose and busted to you on was that she said that the vote shows that the majority of the community supports the defense and in his was not c terrorist instead of as well. but interestingly, he also said the end does not hold legitimacy or relevance. now that's interesting because um it comes a time when the all me just

a few hours ago had said that they were expanding the ground defensive, the, the, the car that turning out some of the heaviest bombardment. and when we've been speaking to people back, as well as hearing from us and the others, and they saying that this seems to be the heaviest i've seen since the wall sconces . so it's definitely as well as definitely sending a message that it seems to be fed up with white saying, of course, even the members of public has been austin. when's this going to happen? and it seems in recent polls, people are starting to feel a bit undecided as a so try to find out what the phase is. of those uh the all. how is captive is riley's in garza. so there's been, you know, roommate as if the days now that there's been a split between these ready military and then you have the, the politicians, including r as right private as a benjamin netanyahu with a minute tree is raring to go. it says it's ready is got 6. reserve is 3. 100000 reserve is ready. you see them, you know, carrying out of mine uh,

in cousins until now. from time to time to these sorts of testing the waters in no, said garza, before they go in. what we do now now knows that they're saying that they're expanding the ground offensive. so we'd desperately seeing a change here where these riley government and the ministry on now keen to move on for which they haven't said it's a full long ground invasion. that's definitely not what's been said, but will with thing is, is definitely an expansion. and to add to that, another layer within that statement, it's from these rarely all the spokesman. he warns people that i'll ship a hospital in gauze of the biggest hospital that he want them to evacuate, telling them to head to the goods and then also head for the south and oversee all the shipper is in the south for then. so we'd like to write that area. what we do note is that there are hundreds of, of p a and sorry, rather the 10s of thousands of people in the hospital and around. and it's going to

be incredibly difficult. the army also added the they said that it's now they puts out evidence rather that so how much does using the hospital as it is come on send . so if you like, but what was mentioned by one of these really media, they quoted the how much pentagon just to give you a sense of how it's relas saying that a lot of those decisions are being made from underneath the hospital, from tunnels that even puts a puts out a video that puts out audio recordings as pro space that proves to the international community. but this is definitely the headquarters and they mentioned also that they will go off to any how much targets? well it's gonna be it, i mean really very difficult to up on the largest hospital there, especially when the it really is the one of the main ones that people and guards are relying on. we also hearing of sometimes stuff moved and doreen and people that are saying how mass included the cosign brigade has reduced the statement saying

that there are caches. and we also hear rang but some there are plenty of civilian deaths at the moment. numbers are on known because of today's bombardment in the last few hours, but the problem they have is communication now is completely down across garza and the emergency services unable to get. so those people to be able to take them to the last remaining hospital. a few for medical senses. so really at the moment it's very unknown territory as we speak. yeah, it's sarah sarah. well let me ask you this. how much pressure has the is really government been under particularly ness and yahoo himself to show that they need to be doing something and particularly when it comes to the hostage files and get the hostages released. absolutely. sorry. i think you had seen the now that the fact is that there is increase discontent amongst the public, especially in terms of the caps of situation. these riley's more than 200 by the

soldiers or civilians are all in her mouth is ready. the media has been reporting again, nothing consent from the government. there's some seniors ready, government officials have been saying, but the government was fed up of waiting. and the on the stocking nation was the what they used in terms of the situation with the captives. what we do know is that cats are along with the us as well as egypt to open, trying to mediate, to come to some a ceasefire agreement to perhaps a temporary cease file. we had spoken to our own soul, says i had confirmed that that was something they were working on. and again, there's still not been a results, but certainly the is right of the public needs to see something, whether it's boots on the ground, whether it's being able to bring. but that family members are stuck fast back home . they want on says, and we're already seeing that some of those family members are now talking about

holding a private test and taking it up another step by blocking roads, for example, to protest the spot. but nothing's been, nothing and nonsense has happened. i will adds that the ministry spokesman did say that they were still working on the caps is situation, but he said at the moment there is no information to share, which of course is not going to go down well actual during with the public. yeah. okay, thank you sir, for the time being. that's a light fixture once again from gaza. as you can see, it's been plunged into darkness and also we are hearing from unit stuff. uh that uh, the executive director of unit stuff is saying that we, they have lost contact with their colleagues in gaza that they are deeply concerned about their safety. and another night of unspeakable horror of because what we understand is that most communication lines have been down in gaza or they've been cut off in fact. and also the is really armies seems to be making some sort of

limited military incursions into, uh, gaza, into the north of guys. uh let's uh, cross over to it on my la. that's the occupied westbank and speak to the about him for a moment because knew that where you are there certainly have been process taking place in solidarity with the people of god. so just tell us what, what you saw throughout the day i as well posted is feel is that they can't do much here in the occupied westbank, they feel helpless. they're not only separated in different than isolated and different posted in cities because this really has been blocking the entrances of villages and towns from one another. but they're also scared because these really sutler is on. a keeping a bit of violence attacks and intensifying their violence like attacks against palestinians, and on top of that they see their fellow palestinians and the disease because of strep. now, without any access to communications, the internet to phone calls,

you have many families. what already separated between the occupied westbank and the besieged stars, this trip, usually the count see each other because when what they need to hop and it's really me the 3 permit that is rarely given to palestinians. so they rely on phone calls. we've been seeing post and is your ask for family members to just check in to make sure that they're live and know eve of that is not being a possible because of the shutdown of the communications in gaza. so people have took to the streets hid in trouble as well as in nablus. and in hebron and novelist that has been confrontations with the palestinian security forces who have been trying to stop palestinians from going into an area that has been contentious in the past. it's called joseph to, this is an area that is really suck those goods where they come into at night with the protection of these read the army to conduct the prayers. but paul city is usually try to deter them from doing so. sometimes we've been seeing even armed

confrontations take place in the area between palestinian fighters and these really forces because paul's sinews believe that this role is treating the occupied to us back as part of israel and these really stuff, those can read them at any point in time and do whatever they wish to do. so palestinian authority forces that kind of manage the stuff, boost pasting is from reaching the joseph to at the moment. our sources are telling us that they've stopped there in march now to that the area, but confrontations are still going on between palestinians. and these, when the forces for in different areas in nablus will have been also firing to your gas against the palestinian pro. this does one interesting thing we've seen and have grown with crowds went out to the middle of a have run in the center of the city, is that the is really force. it does not even go on foot and, and, and a rest or it dispersed. those process uh, but the fluids rolling on top of the protestors and that drone has dropped to your gas on the protesters leading to the dispersion of the fruit,

the. so you can imagine how palestinians are feeling now. they're helpless, they're frustrated and they're sat and they're just new to the news watching what's happening in the receipt. so i just, yeah, well, all this takes place and guys any that we understand also that the military raids on the arrests have not stopped in the occupied west bank if anything, they seem to be intensifying. and indeed, they have been intensifying and we've been seeing the number of those killed increased dramatically. now when we were talking about the numbers of those palestinians killed since the beginning of the year until the air, the 8th of october, we were talking about at more than $200000.00. he is killed by his way. the 4th of which was in itself a number that has been goods to the the highest in 20 years as far as the westbank is concerned. but since october, the 7th, until now, we talk about more than $110.00 palestinians killed. not only by his ready forces

fire, but also by arms is reset. there's war having more and more access to oz as we're feeling now. we're empowered and they, they feel like they can attack more and more palestinians according to the un fingers. the numbers of attacks against palestinians have risen from the the, from 3 attacks per day on average to 8 attacks per day. and we expect that number to increase in light of the impunity that is really enjoys. and as you can see, as well as bombarding palestinian civilians of the besieged because districts and really not much of being provided as help for palestinians or even of calls for sees fire are still shy. so for palestinians here, the occupies with the bank, they feel that they're scared. they feel that these really voices are raising left, right, the sensor and the rest things palestinians were talking about were the 1500 palestinians been arrested. that's in addition to more than 4000 the police workers who have been from the cisco.
