2:13 pm

2:14 pm
across the is really lebanon border, at least one person is being kills will be the for the life. the frank assessments to the problem is that is there is allowed to be outside that and such international that's a be the is the fact that is it and has declared war on okay. parts people informed opinions, the medical infrastructure of an entire society has been completely destroy the people who will feel that destruction 1st and most be the women and children inside story. on al jazeera, some russia is a fairly challenging place to work from. as a journalist, even though you can't do it, it's not allowed to be a field pushing the always pushing a boundaries for faithfully marston's. here
2:15 pm
2:16 pm
on august and ends in front of the families before rounding up the women and children and attacking them. do you when is demanding an investigation into the ledge to tack on tuesday in gaza city, which it says could constitute a war crime? pronounced any administrative health says the desk told in garza now stands that 20000 overnight is ready on the order. the evacuation of 20 percent of central garza, along with con eunice, is being heavy artillery showing on thursday morning from is really nutri vessels targeting the beach has a rough ox on time units in the southern gaza strip. the world health organization and the palestinian red crescent. ascending yolanda about the state of hospitality . garza, the w. h shows says there are now no functional hospitals left in the north of district leaving 800000 palestinians, deprived of medical services. a woman is being killed in southern lebanon by his ready showing this 3rd civilian death. and as many days is where the cross border
2:17 pm
attacks have increased. in recent weeks, striking further inside lebanon, apparently 50 for approximately 50000 people from southern lebanon, are displaced as a result of the fighting, as block continues to fight in northern israel, using the town of curious mona. live now to is in a harder in southern lebanon zayna tell us that the latest on this is being a sporadic but intensifying series of cross border fighting over the last few days before. yes, even in the past hour or the cross border exchange of fire continues behind me is really air strikes, multiple air strikes, targeting the hills behind me, hezbollah firing a salvo of rockets towards is really military positions. the escalation is roddic, it is intensifying. so the frequency, the scope of the attacks are intensifying, but the conflict is still largely confined to the border area. you have that,
2:18 pm
okay. tional strike deeper inside leaven on. it happens overnight, some 2025 kilometers from from the board and the clean up the fat region as well carried a strike carried out the strikes that area is known to be where hezbollah has military assets. now, could have that been in response to hezbollah, firing surface to air missiles, that force is really helicopters to leave their space to leave the air space close to the border. so both sides really showing their capabilities loc, using their full military capabilities, but showing their their capabilities as well threatening to launch a full blown war if diplomacy doesn't work and has been a lot as not pushed from the border, but as well as not phase saying it's will continue to target, is rarely military positions along the border, as long as, as well continues to attack garza. so the situation in the words of the head of the un peacekeeping mission in southern lebanon is dangerous,
2:19 pm
and it is difficult. you mentioned that civilian who was killed, the woman in her home was an a border village. there were 2 other civilians killed in the past. 2 days though, these 3 civilians were in the battle ground. if you like, the 3 to 4 kilometer a battle ground of you know, close, close to the border. and it's very difficult even for us to operate in those areas . because anything that moves could be hit by and is really drone and in fact as well, strikes have becoming more and more direct fits with has well a look at losing up to 18 men in the past week alone. so an intensification of the conflict. a still confined to the border, both sides still calibrating their attacks sticking to the rules of engagement, where each side focuses their targets on military, military positions or vehicles or soldiers. but the threats of this conflict expanding is real indeed 0 to thank you very much for that from southern lebanon.
2:20 pm
now their hopes of the un security council will finally hold a vote in the coming hours on a resolution that would call for a suspension of hostilities. in garza, its been delayed for 3 days in a row as diplomats negotiate with the united states. on the wording of the draft. earlier this month, washington vetoed a resolution cooling for a cease fine. united are beverage table, the latest resolution, it's on basses into the you and voiced hope that the security council would come together to respond to the crisis in johnson. diplomacy takes time. it means evolving conversations and people are giving it their attention at the highest levels of the capitals that have leverage on this. so i think from that sense you have to be optimistic in diplomacy, otherwise we wouldn't or come into this building every day. not sense. i am optimistic, but in another sense if this fails, then we will continue to keep trying because we have to keep trying. there's too much suffering on ground. uh for the counsel to continue to fail on this and we haven't failed. we have
2:21 pm
a resolution 2712 we need to build on that resolution. and i hope we will also adopt a humanitarian resolution that response to the crisis on ground as well. um, uh sure, joins us from the here and uh, he's a professor of security mochi studies at the institute for graduate studies. thanks very much for joining us. let's go back to our top story. these allegations that is where the soldiers killed 11 of men in front of the families and give an extra weight these obligations by the side that the un office to be about to turn it says, is asking for demanding an investigation if it's confirmed. and if they've instigation confirmed it, that's a little crime. there's no doubt about that. but unfortunately, it's not uncommon, especially in the long history of his 80 words. it's not uncommon, it is designed to, if it's confirmed, it is, this is designed, there are 2 ways for so called contents agency operations. one is to win the hearts and minds of the population to make them go against the uh,
2:22 pm
on the distance that is facing the state force or the other way is to categorize the population and make them that. so rather than winning the hearts of mind, making them fear the other state and one way is to actually do some atrocities in that sense. so any of them bargained indiscriminate in many ways, attacking on the civilian population, civilian infrastructure, and using a strategic communications, a policy that tells you it's not our fault, it's a, it's a, you know, the, the, the side that started this. so the non state actor basically, it says that they should take this responsibility and among these uh, techniques, techniques and procedures is getting p o w them. and it of course it's a, it's criminal. uh but it, the, it has been done before and these are the ministry has already admitted that it's so just have a broken that rules of engagement that within the context of 3 is ready,
2:23 pm
captives being shot by their own side. waiving the white flag stripped to the waist, having written messages, saying they wanted to be rescued. so so if that's the case with those 3 is really captives, it's, do you see that as an isolated incidents or does it show you something about the way that is very soldiers are operating in this theater? yeah, in this environment it's a, it's, it's very like they didn't surprise me one way it's in an urban environment, it's very intense. the, the, the forces there, there's a, what we were talking about the, the incident happened in, she's a light and she's, yeah, yeah, at one point there was more than 5 big aids operating they had at the same time from different divisions. one of the paratroopers. so some of the 7th and the 100 eighty's on the, the, the, the, the good i need division the but i need the gate. so the multiple big gates from different divisions. i'll put anything, you know, 6 square because i'm in that area and the fighting. there was intense and they, they at 80. it's in a way it surprises. there will be surprises that happened. so they, they,
2:24 pm
they would not locate where is the position of the, of the, how much fighters and where are they going to come from. so, and some of these, a big kids would really edit it like that. will that need to be gay? they, they took some significant casualties. so i imagine in this context, they one that they will be quite revengeful, quite, quite, and want one thing to take revenge sometimes on the civilian populations who cannot defend themselves. and to the, there's a bit of a, of chaos of a not, not following the procedures in a very clear way because of the pressure is of they've been combat and the size of the force in a very attends in small areas. so these mistakes i expect that it will continue to happen. and briefly, i mean, the idea of this investigation being cold for the idea of some accountability in the future that requires that elements, at least a cooperation from these very ministry, which they haven't really shown much interested in the past. it's uh at this moment i think that priorities is the number one to destroy the cosign battalions,
2:25 pm
number 2, maybe the, the hostages. and then the last thing on the mind is to have some sense of self justice or even to have some level of discipline. you know, the discipline, where are you going to shoot at this point? i think this is the not, not among the priorities. all right, well marshall, thank you very much for joining us into your insights that appreciate it. all right, human rights watch says meta has silenced posts in support of palestine on instagram and facebook. it says this is the question, is systemic and global amounting to what it seems, sorry. what seems to be the largest wave of censorship of content about palestine to date. the rights group reviewed 1050 cases of online censorship. for more than 60 countries, they were largely in english, nearly all of them featured peaceful content and support of palestine. the organization says that in more than $300.00 cases uses were unable to appeal to methods, removal of content,
2:26 pm
or accounts effectively. it's identified 6 patterns of censorship, content removal, suspension or permanent disabling of accounts, and restrictions on liking, commenting, sharing or re posting. it's also found restrictions on tagging or following other accounts, limited use assessment mets of features and shadow binding uses. that means a significant drop in the visibility of a user's posts, stories or their account. they're indeed, milady is a professor of media and communication that cuts our university. he says, the reports, findings on not surprising is what i think this is a combination of a systematic pressure um from around the world, especially policy makers in the west. and in addition to the is really government on social media platforms. 5 commit and x and others, unfortunately, met, has been in the last some few months and especially up to 2021.
2:27 pm
the state of georgia events in jerusalem had been um, uh, kind of from um, placing a very, very obvious um, systematic way of controlling gun monitoring, anything related to palestine, anything related to palestinian content. and what we've been kind of listening or hearing from active is so from academic, so from um, social media organizations around the world about met that sensing, they've content and i think now we've seen it documented by human rights watch. and unfortunately, this is another kind of way of keeping him to the pressure from the is really government, specifically, as i said, so me. so now how are you suppose that you can find more information on our website? i'll just do it. don't come including of course, the latest. don't our top story. the witnesses say is where the forces killed 11 on
2:28 pm
moms palestinians in front of best families before rounding up the women and children and attacking them. the one is demanding an investigation into that. as well as that you can stay to now for inside story will be examining. the conflict ensued on where it stands. fighting off the 8 months in that construct the the hey there looks like we could have some blizzard conditions for the western side of japan. let me show you a great to see you by the way. so this all has to do with coal. they're running over top of one c surface here. so that produces see effect snow once again for that western side of honshu and hope title. and with those winds, with an up as well, is going to give us some blinding snow over the next 24 hours will paint the colors on. here are dark of the blue and the purple. the lower the temperature across

2:30 pm
