3:00 pm
the women to get 50 percent representation and accountability and benefits. know what that was and services, this placement, and you're saying you don't have any reports for that. i should just trust that unity often as i find the cool that i used to produce outstanding jen. this them out as the integrity in the pursuit of the witnesses. 10, i'll just narrow. it's really false, isn't gauze i execute to the lab, and on, on the palestinian men in front of best families, the mindset me say that this is out dizzy or live from dell hall. so coming up, the world health organization says there are no functional hospitals left the northern garza due to
3:01 pm
a lack of fuse stuff and supplies. the number of palestinians killed in his rouse war on gauze as reach 20000, including moving 8000 children, renewed fighting across these right at 11 and border at least one person is being killed. we're getting the lights, the a l d u and the human rights office says it's received allegations of what could be a war crime bodies ready forces in gaza. it says it's received information alleging is ready. the fault is executed at least 11 on on the palestinian man in front of the families. in the north, the strip is ready for us is allegedly storm. the residential building then separated the men from the women and children of the instances alleged to have happened that the on, on building was civilians with sheltering the united nations, calling for an investigation now. well, honey maxima joins us live from or off. so how does that stop with these very
3:02 pm
disturbing story? what do we know about these reports of summary executions from eye witnesses as well. so far, reports about the execution of 11 members of by one family and their in laws. the i 9 family along with the i sort of the family as well as the last 2 family or the happened to be a relative then in laws were filtering. and that particular house, when it was surrounded by these really military and according to test him on his own remaining family members, particularly when and where god 3rd gathered into, uh the uh, the room. and there is just a description of what happened with the fact we talked to people about their reaction to express their frustration and anger and, and the, the, the, the fact that there are atrocity committed by this very military invading forces in the gospel. here's what people have to do that to say about the what happened to
3:03 pm
this family? i know, you know, i'm with him about subbing for. yeah. and i'm 76 year old and have even so many was on the conflicts in my life. you know, but i haven't seen anything like this model to see a level of destruction and systemic heating the civilians. ok, what is going on this? and they all died munition of up on that. it's something that's really surprising to me that these things are actually, you know, happening. we don't expect this type of thing. and or i feel like you know more. everything should be fair. everything should be accounted for. everyone should be held responsible for their actions. i feel like this story is insane to me that people are being executed in the garden city. uh those are, are people you know it's, it's difficult to hear. we're also hearing now about bombings crossings, rather being bumble can tell us about that. the the yes will, there's rights continue to uh,
3:04 pm
pounds. the guys is for been destroying more of the residential homes and public facilities. but what happened within the past couple hours the, the, the cut them up with signing me crossing came under a is really bombardment. the killing of these are free feet. busy one of those people happened to be the director of the crossing who had been working when the with the but within the past few days on board. anything the, the arrival of, of the human at 3 in the trucks into gaza strip. but this is part of ongoing, systematic campaign of destruction, not only just the, the public facility under residential loan, but also the very areas that are a are, are helping palestinians to get the human at 3 and aided trucks the need for their survival. it's not clear whether the crossing is going to continue working or not after this incident. but we're, we're, we're, we're waiting for an updates of,
3:05 pm
from the, either these really military about what happened and, and, and also from the palestinian side. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. hi, my mode phones off with all my actual joins us here in the high now he's a professor of security and metrics studies of adult. hey, institute for graduate studies. good to have you with us almost. so 1st of all, start with these testimonies coming in from people, very grisly testimonies. how common is this in this military conflict that we've been seeing going on? it says the tragic and the grizzly, as you said, but it's not uncommon. the it happened before multiple times. it can be either psychological or rational. so the rational part is to try to terrorize the population by inflicting significant damage on the civilians. whether from the air to destroy infrastructure of a 70 infrastructure, or as a,
3:06 pm
as we saw it, these are negations of corrected and try to more or less skills that civilians directly from a ministry perspective. what's, what's the mid 3 plus 2 o o game from that, from this kind of behavior towards civilian life. so the 2 major schools, the show we say in contents agency one that will more the better school in malaya, which tells you when hearts and minds. so try to offer incentives to the civilian population. so they stopped supporting the, the, the non state tax or the on site directly, whether it's a, an entry occupation force or any other force. so that's one schools or one major school with multiple as transition. or we say or such schools, but also there's also the other one which tells you a 10 rise the population and the make, make them pay costs for any kind of support for the, for the non state actors. in this case, i'll be sort of, you know,
3:07 pm
you allegations of abuse of civilians during war of a effective looking back. i know that your, your security in mid free guy. so we've got to keep ourselves focused on the ministry and security aspect. so even though you know, the political double standards discussion is crying out to be address, but i mean, you've got experience analyzing a whole bunch of conflicts. going back to years. we've seen allegations of all crimes in iraq and afghanistan in ukraine. how effective is this sort of technique if these allegations are true, of course in breaking the will of the able to resist an occupation? so i think the most recent statement from the, from boys often the us secretary of defense when he mentioned the possibility of a strategic defeat for israel. this is what he meant. if you, if you keep on targeting civilians that way and cause major damage to the civilian infrastructure that way, then you, you may actually win an operational victory on
3:08 pm
a technical victory. but you will discuss strategic defeat, general stanley mcchrystal and they've got this done, had a famous statement for each. he used to call it insurgents mess for each a civilian, you kill innocence of any kill you, engender 10 more fighters against you. and therefore on the, on a strategic level, you're just helping the other force to mobilize more and you need to meet think actually the calls. david patricia had a very well sort of famous statement that the, the, the, the, the way to do the, the old philosophy of the search in 2007, you're close to offer incentives to the, to the opposing side. that in that case, in this rate is you don't see any, any of these incentives, you see just more a death and destruction from above. and now we see from on the ground as well. so it tells me that the, that the, the strategic calculations here are not aligned with the so we say if there is a strategic objective of this type of behavior is not aligned with it, it just is going to engender more, a more interesting caused by the way,
3:09 pm
but the more do you see this level of destruction and death is you have we have now a who, if he's in yemen are, is it likely won't like to do to, to see this. you have also the soft oven on his will. all that kind of lies more uh, more and the base for as well. is that not just local, but now is your needs are, has international. since you may have mentioned american officials, it's perhaps a good time to remember that we've seen allegations of war crimes in other conflicts like ukraine, which led ultimately to president putin being indicted. although that was for the transfer of children. but it also prompted very strong statements from western leaders like joe biden, like the us secretary of state. let's this and then from what they had to say a year ago when those allegations about killing summary executions and independent butcher and so on. russian forces also open fire on 10 civilians who are waiting in line for bread. these incidents join
3:10 pm
a long list of attacks on civilians, not military locations across ukraine. putting apartment buildings, public squares, and last week, a maternity hospital in mariel. i doubt that any of us who saw those images will ever forget yesterday, president biden said that in his opinion, war crimes have been committed a new train. personally, i agree. the . all right, so when we listen to statements like that, of course, that was the ukraine con sleggs. he changed the words ukraine for gauze and a lot of the scenario situations that blinking was talking about could easily
3:11 pm
describe what we've seen and the allegations we're hearing and gaza. however, we haven't had that sort of language used by west and lead is when it comes to the allegations of war crimes that international human rights groups talk about in garza, from a military perspective. how much does that translate into a continuing window for ministry operations to continue without a loss of oversight? so that the oversight issue is the last thing on the i think on the is what you do . you government filed at these, you know, the, probably the 1st policies to destroy the mean if it kept them. but it is all from us and the other on formations. the 2nd will be maybe, maybe the hostages. uh, but the last is the issue of oversight. and the sort of transitional justice, it is happening mainly because of international pressures, but it's not as, as strong as, as in all the cases as you mentioned it. but the also, the, the, we have to the behavior is, is that there are some similarities. but also there are some differences in,
3:12 pm
you know, the, as you mentioned in the case of the put in was indicted in the i see see, main before the that's good. nothing of 19000 ukrainian children. so these are you just not getting up so far and 19015 in children, but of course they, they killed a lot of a children because of the industry with the martin. and so i'm all children in the 1st 2 months of this guy is a conflict. then i've been killed in 2 years of, of the ukraine more rise. i don't have the stats at the moment, but the, the, the, the so i, i tried, i tried to avoid competing visit easy because it is the, the, both the, there are very tragic situations that and ukraine k is also the, the intensity of civilian suffrage is it has been huge, so many people at one point it looked like doesn't now. so it's a situation to a very tragic in both cases. but as the, the condemnations, so we take from the western side is much clearer. the and ukraine then and then
3:13 pm
does that for, for different reasons that you know, the perceptions of what happened on the 7th of october, but they didn't get to the, the 11th of september and so on, so forth. so that there are some issues there that, that needs to be addressed. but then if at any speaking back again to do my field of expertise, the, i think the continuation of categorizing the civilian population will are likely to engender the more or more stiffened that existence and mobilize more more fighters against israel. and hence the that, that other from a lloyd austin about this strategic defeat because this has nothing in game. ready indiscriminate bombardment and kit kidding people who are not even p o w's or the that's getting of, of the civilians were not even po deputies, whatnot. and despite to to the side of the to or help the objective of these radio operations in any way i would leave with that. thanks so much i'm on i sure the
3:14 pm
world health organization says there are now no functional hospitals in the north of golf. so hospitals have been bumped, they've run out of medical supplies and they don't have any fuel. now, as a result of that, it's difficult for any of the 2200000 people in gone. so all in a was, are now effectively to get adequate medical care in the south of gaza or a few functioning hospitals. but only a fraction of what they once was. richard paper colon from the world health organization explains from geneva only $936.00 also. so these are far from functional and the whole got all of the saw there are actually no functional. so last, the more likely was the last one, but it's not a minimum function and still treat patients, but most amazing, it was a long way. uh and also hospital. so the hospital or she was sheltering also
3:15 pm
thousands of displaced people is riley false is continue carrying out daily rates across the occupied westbank minute 3 vehicles entered several cities and towns including nablus invested to have money on 1st day. they babies, homes and detained at least $1.00 cost. and in invest, ma'am, i'm efficient, isn't ramallah in the occupied west bank so out and take us through the off the walls. understanding more damage has been coming to light from these rights. yeah, and just as we're coming on here here from ramallah, we're hearing of another rate actually underway in janine is just started within the last few minutes. and if we get any more information, we'll bring that to you. that has been some damage inflicted on the agricultural industry. you're talking about a place called to give it a top wheel, which is very close to bethlehem, and alia on thursday. a 2 buildings were destroyed is really, i mean build those, those moved in and essentially flattened them to the ground. that's where
3:16 pm
a couple of palestinian families were using those buildings to raise and to hers, animals. and then just in the last hour or so, we've had the 14 buildings a in the same place, not far from where this incident happened. the used for housing and raising livestock have also been demolished. and these really army are saying that the reason they did that was that there were no permits for the buildings. on top of that, we also had the report. the settlers had gone in to a place where farm equipment was being kept. and it was either stolen or it was destroyed, it was broken completely put beyond years. and we know that the settlers often work very closely with the army. they give them a level of protection to allow them to go into these areas to carry that out. so as well as all of this, we're also hearing about an incident near bethlehem where there was the funeral of a 16 year old who was killed on wednesday. at the end of that funeral,
3:17 pm
there were clashes between these fairly army and mourners. and 3 more people were injured. and at the moment we are told that the israeli army has sealed off the village. there's no way in or out. and that continues to be clashes between both sides. so you can see that the cycle, even though we think that most of these things happen overnight, the happened during the day 2 and this cycle continues. all i will leave with that . thanks so much. allen fisher, the still ahead on al jazeera, the social media company, messer accused of censoring palestinian content on his platforms, facebook and instagram, the hey there, here's your headlines for the america. it's got to start with this saw the picture

as you just highlighted, now, there is no lift, overt hospitals in north of casa, is rainy. bulldozers have destroyed the shift job band symmetry in the neighborhood, and east and garza images from the cemetery show recently buried bodies lang among the rubble of tombstones. i'll just see it as this. my little old reports now from the cemetery. we should have on view, as you may find some of the images to be disturbing. a look to see what a shift i've done and what cost. i'm standing in the middle of the shake shabani cemetery and the i'll show a neighborhood. this symmetry was pulled those by the user id occupation forces. the dad has been exude and crushed under the bulldozers of the occupation forces. to give you a clearer picture, you can see one of the dead bodies assumed by the israeli occupation forces. the body was crushed by these riley's heavy machinery. it is not the 1st time that the occupation forces hold those symmetries destroying graves and assuming the dead
3:24 pm
bodies and then mutilating them. you can see clearly the traces of the is ready, occupation forces, heavy machinery, and the tracts of the ahmed vehicles. even the data not sped and respected. this is a gross violation of, of basic human value. any part of the already dead bodies are clearly visible. zoomed and crushed and mutilated by the ease. riley forces saw how this all cuts on malta. this is part of a scope of a deadman court. this to the i told him, i don't know that i'm and uh, here is another completely exams, dead body from a grade. so that doesn't know how to do something. there is no respect for that. these rays have no respectful human lives, not even in death. the cemetery was totally bulldozed and totally destroyed on purpose. here you can see another dead body of a recently buried. a person shrouded in white. i just saw the body was
3:25 pm
assumed on purpose by the israelis. this is what remains as some of the shrouds and some of the dead. the tracks of these riley tangs purposely crush the dead bodies that had been exempt from that graves. this is the foot of a dead child. he was killed in an abstract and reason. the buried now assumed a mutilated by the israelis had caused this to have a long time on the books. and i come up with a has a bunch of, uh huh. there is another body of another child over here. out of respect, we will not reveal any more checks out button and what we are opposing live from the shakes siobhan symmetry and the alice neighborhood. this was boulders and destroyed by the is riley homage vehicles and bulldozers. the dead bodies were exempt. them the mutilated. there is no respect for that. it is. yeah. another wall crime committed by the israelis this mind of the whole. medina, because i have to just get them. a woman has been killed in southern lebanon, biased ray,
3:26 pm
the shelling the said in as many days is riley cross border attacks have increased in recent weeks, striking further inside lebanon, approximately 50000 people from southern loving and non displaced as a result of a fighting. has belong continues to fire and to northern israel, hitting the town of could be a true mona san a hold on the side of this update from southern revenue as the cross border explained to fire continues at, it is intensifying israel carrying out the series of airstrikes the lebanese armed group, hezbollah firing salvo of rockets that towards is really military positions. the escalation is sporadic, but it's becoming more frequent. and the scope of the attacks are widening. overnights as well as a hit, a target and it came with the fast that's approximately 20 kilometers from the border quite far from the, from the back to ground in the 3 to 4 kilometer depth battle ground in, in southern lebanon. it seems that it could have been in retaliation for hezbollah,
3:27 pm
firing surface to air missiles. that force is really helicopters to move away from, from the border, from the border area. so both sides really showing their capabilities, not their full military capabilities, with showing capabilities sending messages. the n n a form over the parents, if you like. because israel has been stepping up its threat saying that it will destroy beta root the lebanese capital and not just target has been life has, will, doesn't move away from the border. but hezbollah is saying that it will not stop it's attacks, as long as, as well as a tax on garza continued, no matter what the cost and hezbollah has lost a lot of men in the past $11.00 weeks, a 114. and just in the past week, 18 man, and most of them were hit by drones. and so as well really relying on technology. so the conflict largely confined to the border, but intensifying the else as the, the southern lebanon, the human rights watch, says mecca has silenced posts,
3:28 pm
and suppose, as palestine on instagram and facebook, it says the suppression is systematic and global, amounting to what seems to be the largest wave censorship of content about palestine. today's the rights group reviewed 1050 cases of online censorship from old and 60 countries with launch the english and the all of them featured piece for content and support of palestine. organizations says in more than 300 cases used as while unable to appeal methods, removal of contents or accounts effectively. it's identified 6 persons of censorship, content removal, suspension or permanent disabling of accounts and restrictions online king commenting, sharing, already posting. so also found restrictions on tagging or following other accounts . limits is use a set method features and chavo binding uses. that means a significant drop in the visibility of
3:29 pm
a uses post stories and account nadine belie the is a professor of media and communication up how the university he says the reports findings and not surprising. what i think this is the 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 to commit and x and others unfortunately, met, has been in the last some few months and especially up to 2021. 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 published on anything related to palestinian content. and what we've been kind of listening or hearing from active is so from academic, so from um,
3:30 pm
social media organizations around the world about met that sensing the content. and i think now we've seen it documented by human rights watch. and unfortunately, this is another kind of, um, way of keeping him to the pressure from the is ready government, specifically the time for a look at some of the world news. now the other thing in the democratic republic of congo is general election has been extended by 2 days across the country with posting stations. now closing on friday. the electoral commission initially extended a pole by a day off to delays its imposing census and the council can show us on wednesday and several of the towns. some polls didn't open a tool on the 1st day of hosting. there were also reports of faulty voting machines
