the on the go and need tonight. i'll just there is only mobile app is that the, this is where we dissect allies from out is there is a mobile app available in your favorites apps to just set for it and typed on a new app from out to 0. new at you think, is it the at least a 165 house simians killed in 24 hours as israel continues to attack the gaza strip from north to south. the 0 lie from headquarters and downtime during you navigate. the also coming up the is

really military expands as operations in fine, eunice and southern gauze. off it says from us, leaders are hiding in the city. tens of thousands of displaced palestinians try to seek safety from the violence in gaza, southern most city and south africa accused as israel of committing genocide and gaza and falls a case of the international court of justice. the hello. we begin this news hour in gaza where is really forces are pushing deeper into central and southern areas of the strip with heavy air and artillery fire central cause that has been the hardest hit with at least a 100 palestinians killed in the past 24 hours rescue operations are continuing at the end. what is the status on the animal? has the refugee camps over in the south is really were plaintiff carried out intense airstrikes on the city of con. eunice of israel's military says it's

expanding operations here to target thomas fighters. many civilians have been killed and the fighting is forcing displace palestinians further south un says a 100 thousands have arrived and rough in recent days. agencies are warning of the rapids spread of infectious diseases. our fisher has more from occupied east jerusalem. that is really army claim. they've made significant gains in the last few hours. they say they've eliminated a number of from us government that there have been in 10 spackles across the guys and strip and they've had to call in ear support from the is really air force. no, they say that they've also made significant gains in it. or i bet like here that they've destroyed the 2 buildings they have, but also in the area, they've recovered a significant amount of munition bones that had been prepared for use against the years really. and also radio equipment that we're hearing of in 10 spackles, particularly around 10 units. the time start bombarding the area which seems to be

preparation before that is a major defensive in that area. 10 units is important is towards the size of the gas a strip. it's a got it by the is released as a significant how much strong hold. and they believe that a number of senior, how much leaders are hold up there. they want to take control of con units. and that may be important because if they do that, perhaps they are moving close to the end of the 2nd stage of the war. and they can move on to the side stage, which would be to target the se, but to move to a much more surgical operation, move away from the mass booming that we've seen the mass killing us. critics call it and they can stop targeting, how much leaders in the so they have to be careful that of course, because besides which is normally very, very populated is even more sooner because of the people that have moved from the north and central areas. because of the war now at all custom brigade, which is the military wing of a mass of also being claiming that they've had success. they said in alvarez in

central gods, or they managed to destroy a coup, katia there, and they also managed to destroy a tank and kill the people that were inside. it's important to remember that i'll just need to con, confirm any of these claims. both sides make these claims on a daily basis, but certainly with the reports of the intense bombardment around news, it is clear that there's still of intense lighting going on around it. is that the is really so we're seeing that they were close to taking complete to military control island for sure. i'll just see it up in occupied is tourist will also get an idea of the impact of that intense bombardments in the south of the gaza strip. of bringing thought about us when he's joining us from, but i've also thought it tell us about the is really air strikes and the, and the aftermath of those yes, absolutely. the reading, another j u for the attacks inside galls is frank bought. the main focus right now

is really many trip ration inside goals that have be shifted from the north right now to them in areas and also in the southern parts of the gaza strip. now we'd like quickly to mention the impact that's happening on the latest strikes now, starting from 10 units, which is right now. one of the main key areas for confrontations as because while the forces, depending on systematic genocide against palestinians that by launching the white series of attacks against residential houses by the way, to reach along solely with the fine to just around 4 people have been killed during the last hour of destruction of a residential house, the confrontations that day by day getting much more difficult. as for this city early the is when the forces of the lines and more troops to take full control over the area. and right now the attacks by special even military onto the re, on the a bridge, i'm because i'm new. so right. so if you, the account had been completely widen during the last couple of hours, we have the reporting due for the last couple of days that this area right now is

the main fee. it's a for the military operations by he's well and right now we did not mention and did not post that much strikes and another and part simply because the army had deep populated these areas, level to the ground, the majority of building stuff while they are right now, doing the same systematic approach against the middle areas of gauze, a strip. well, they are also dropping leaflets for residents from forming then to sleep mode, to the south with the button that says, we'll continue with that sorta what sort of resistance is being put off by the palestinian fighters on the grounds? yes, no. the confrontations on the ground by the palestinian fine to continue. um it's showing me videos about that tracking different kinds of military vehicles we're talking about. millet tutoring says really build those as being kits by on contract messiah or some of these kinds of confrontation continues. continue mainly in con eunice,

central neighborhoods of gauze was 6 feet apart from the northern sex of the god. just recently seen a rage and the work, your discount offices funds, the military operations. in fact, you mentioned areas and now you have been encountered by the power steering fight is not policy. your point is generally are trying to book the entry and the advancements of it is very true. inside garza, different casualties, have to report from both sides, move victims of pulling day by day. a group is ready side. does the announce the by dave, that the are new victims of these many soldiers and also for palestinian finances as well. so literally right now, confrontations are getting on the grading date by dig in these areas. i'm also saying that they are using the tunnels just to hit the uh, the as well, even offering it to force them to return back again. but is there any, is ranging from using c said military power in these areas to crush the military infrastructure and to destroy and to dismantle,

as they have been searching from the alien days of the will hold the military assets as inside the gaza strip. i think particular right now in calling you in a product i was doing reporting for us from casa authentic. thank you. well, the us sector of state antony blinking has bypass congress and he's approved the sale of high explosive artillery shells and related equipment to israel. blinking, pushed through the 147000000 dollar deal by declaring it an emergency. he made a similar decision on december, the 9th approving a $106000000.00 sale of tank ammunition for israel. the us ally is already receiving $3800000000.00 per year and military assistance under a 10 year plan that began in 2016. washington has given israel more military assistance than any other countries since world war 2. providing a is worth more than a 100 and towards $24000000000.00. i was a 0 senior political analyst model. i'm poseida is joining us now. i'd like to talk

about how this was bypass this bypass. congress might want in a moment, but 1st, is there somebody to be set up over the timing of this, this particular deal? considering what's happening on the ground. and the is really, is whitening their offensive and seemingly focusing a lot now on the south, on the, on finding us. oh yes, there's no doubt about that. but nothing in our government has decided to widen the water this fighting over guys. i know they say there's no play safe in guys out. there's no place where there's no water in gaza. so you can imagine that these ratings auto bothering every possible targeting guys and close the, including those places where a seniors have taken refuge apparently. now for a good number of weeks, these are, these have been bombing, uh, places where, but a senior stock refuge which is, you know, kind of in credit us and so many ways us. but if i allow me just to put this order in historical context, because i've been listening to the figures you're giving and they are accurate in

the sense of the off to the laptop. i've seen estimates about how is that has received between a $150.00 to $250000000000.00 from the since by to $60000.00. because it depends how you count. right. well, it depends your accounting. i've given with just one simple example. when you give a to is that i wouldn't as an american give it to is it gives donations to is around to and is there an associated a china 3 it's tax deductible? in the united states, you can imagine the number of american jews or americans, scientists, americans, and general questions will donate to chat if these that work and is right. it's all becomes tax deductible in the united states. that's just one way of looking at it. but i've seen estimates that are unprecedented in international relations since international relations became thing 5 centuries ago. no,

to other states have exchanged as much a meaning the united states to is right. in more than international relations, it doesn't exist the end of the 2014 when ukraine, because it became a bit, they're not in trouble. and what did with russia from 2014 to 2020 ukraine is few times bigger than is right. they've got a fraction, a fraction of the aid that america gave to is, or then that to that one america gift to keep at that time for many years. so the nature of the us is there, a little issue is unique in human history. the nature of the aid that is ready to get not the military aids from the united states is unique in modern international relations. the fact that most of it could be spent and is read not in the united states is unique in american a minute or other countries. because most, many, 38 or financial aids gets to be spent in the united states. like for example,

who don't want to egypt, right. but is there a no, it's not a whole other situation. so when we look at the figures now when we look at what's happening in this sense of is a round robin in general, southern cars are you still asked the question? so why today is i just rushing a page so binding for, for many years because you know, he was in the senate for something like 40 years or something. he's been in washington since 197250 or so for many years he'd been saying, if it did not exist, we would have had to create it just because as i sams, our a dentist in the middle east. so maybe that was through the 19 it is we don't have stopped to discuss it now or in the 19 ninety's or even the year 2000, maybe. where exactly is the national interest today? when it is, there is no longer a strategic cache. it presumes as

a subject liability is there and cannot even when a war against administrator basically i was just as cool thing guys. all that was on the stage for 17 years, right. so 2nd is there is no longer ministry as submitted. 3 and the subject burden on the united states. well, i mean, it's not just the aides that the us as your st continues to give israel, but in this particular case, and for the 2nd time and a month the by the administration is willing to bypass congress to give them to say, how are we to explain not to what's the young game here for the us. what clearly, this is a politically suspect that i think we are going to be a lot of criticism. we're back in washington twice in a month to bypass congress. to give a concert that's basically is involved in war crimes. it's not genocide. and clearly the idea that there is a sense of defeating the sense that america has a strategy that is built on the idea that we need. and that is our needs to exit

the water as we know it today. to another phase, phase 3 there. what is less intensive, and yet it's given get arms that serves its phase 2 with which the, which is support for me, right? so it doesn't make no sense whatsoever. we spoke about how moderately the 2nd time, what are the scandalous, this thing is. so the only explanation that i have is that the by the administration is so bucks pin behind and at the now government it's, it's can no longer see the, what do you call the woods from the tree, right. it's clearly stuck behind nothing. the whole schedule, nothing. yeah. how is that gender? if any of those personal ambition, nothing. the house in gay mendoza is unable to break away from die at the risk of alienating middle eastern allies. it's going public opinion. i would even go further at the risk of losing the election by then could do is the election in

2024 because he's so stubborn a risk and his, the administration, his legacy at that of a non wire. basically, benjamin doesn't now look very broad question for our last question, but one, but we've just gotten the latest figures from the, from the health industry and gaza. and they're saying that so for 21672 palestinians have been killed on 56165 have been wounded that since october the 7th . where does things go through from here? i mean that we hear that there could be some proposal on the table, unofficial reports, of course, and what's going to have my sense is that we might have something in the, in the new year. we might have some kind of a deal. i think both is right and how much needs at the, at this point of them. and i think that would definitely be supported by the united states is i might need it because she is running out of weight. they're running out

of targets to hit in guys. it's running out of targets after tens of thousands of bombings of different locations and gaza. so no length of time you and this thing is going to and then what's, what's next? i think the by that in a session, as we've been saying also we need something, somebody, spite from this genocide that's i'm profiting in front of the entire international public opinion. so they might, the reach of this deal could be somewhere in between. what is right, is this on what, how much is that something, you know, i found way a compromise of sort, but i think is there, i would want to continue with the war regardless. so it might take a break for a week or 2 or 3. pick a rest from the bombing from the beginning of children as possible, and then return for dozens of captives. how much would also benefit from that? because it needs some kind of a spite as well. what about their plans to in their own words of some is really officials to us, nick, we cleanse the palestinians, push them out. that's happening defacto because guys is becoming increasingly

unbelievable. i've just thought i'd report by a scientist order. first of all, about scientists saying that they've, the situation for the situation continues, as we know today, all things being equal. court thought all of the population of guys that could buy out of disease a quarter for the population as i cannot get my mind around the idea of one child. by what does it mean really one child dying for no reason whatsoever other than political power and emission. right. and now we're talking about a quarter of the population goes up at the risk of dying from diseases, not the bombing diseases, all things being equal, the end of the situation continues as if there's all right, thank you so much my number. so i thank you. the still ahead on al jazeera, picking up the pieces is israel demolished, is a record number of palestinian homes in the occupied west bank the

the hey, welcome to worlds weather update. you know about 30 percent of india is population is dealing with foggy and spa. good conditions of visibility, 50 meters or less. that's really the big story, but we do have some heats as well. so colors are on dark, is read, the higher the temperature care list, state capital, hottest december day on record getting up to 36.2 degrees. now for buckets dawn, it's hot in the south cross you above average, but cool in the north. the horrid 17 that's below average, and we're also dealing with fogging smog in northeast buck. a strong, heavy rain folders have been dropped for southern thailand. that rain is still falling, just not at the same intensity. and fog and smoke has also been an issue through china, places like woo hahn very unhealthy error here that says warm and cooler mix together

. no real when to shop that out. but it is wendy for china is east coast shanghai 8 degrees as a northerly. when so that's drop down your temperature one system exits japan, but here comes another one into the west. so we've got some sundry down pores in the mix here on sunday. and let's go back to southeast asia. it has been a socket forecasts up and down. so much an island, there's been flooding in centrals to matcher island in the north as well, but now it's looking bad for saw sumatra. i will see you later. the or the

the the kind of again here is a reminder of the top stories. this hour is really or strikes of hit multiple refugee camps and central garza more than a 165 people have been killed across the territory. in the last 24 hours it takes the total number killed since october, the 7th, to more than $21.00. $1600.00 is really forces are expanding operations around time eunice and southern gaza tank fire. an aerial bombing is intensifying tens of thousands of people are being forced to see the area us sex. your state on to the

blinking has approved the proposal of high explosive watson re, to israel bypass, and congressional review blinking says you have to forego the usual notification period due to an emergency situation in gaza. south africa as far as the case that the u. n's international court of justice accusing israel of genocide. the petition accused as real of calculated actions intended to bring about the physical destruction of palestine. article 2 of the genocide convention was adopted by the un general assembly in 1948 and defines the crime of genocide. it has 2 main elements, the mental aspect, meaning the intent to destroy in whole or in parts a national ethnic, racial or religious group. the physical element includes killing or causing bodily or mental harm to members of such a group. it also includes deliberately inflicting conditions designed to physically

destroyed in whole or in parts and imposing measures to prevent birds or forcibly transferring children often group to another. earlier, south africa's minister for social development told alger 0 that approaching the international court of justice was a necessary active solidarity with palestinians to reset. it falls by what they say on the ground. and what has been has to be in particular that we know issue the ac. and i was to say from the government policy completely. so clover has only by with the people in the cause and for a tuesday. so lucy, by monday we want to see it and of the 2 piece for readings as far as possible. and the home is that

a platform that is available with the government? the government? this is the platform that we decided we need to step onto the routine for be reset and also and, and to these questions be either the best way to cover all over the next, the next from our own big and call me and the addition of our people and the time, why don't we say this is also the s s i n s a was also be glad it's high. are they should they see by the way, to have to get to the community because we believe there was o. s o, that would be we'd be that was backed up in the f

b in terms of finding here. so it has to be a good point. you're the, why don't we put it on the internet to stay with us. and so, you know, like to find peace in the as one seats in does the white sheets have become a symbol of palestinians killed and is really a tax axles? i'm all fits reports. well, how many the most size? the volunteer in a rough preparing bodies for burial. she uses these plain white sheets to rep did that. in the early days of the war, the demand for shroud search beyond supply, forcing him to wrapped up to 5 bodies together in a single sheet. that doesn't how. yeah, because that's what i had. i never expected this number of deaths at all, but i probably did not have such numbers in the previous words,

we're talking about imaginable numbers kind of, we're talking about more than 20000 people. not including the people missing. i think i've seen donations have allowed him to buy more shrouds, but every day items like caesars and cotton are hard to find. that's because the fuser has bombardment in group operations and it's land sea and air bulk 8 of the straight as cemeteries fill up with the dead. others are being buried in communal grapes. and the white shroud is important in most of the tradition. now it's become a symbol of the palestinian struggle. good. sort of the sure. the. yeah. lot the governor of the of the big number of people killed and i made the white shroud. a symbol for the small island. i mean became part of the palace thing. plug in its influence on the wall above the significance of all calls you can of the since the beginning of the war and gaza wide shrouds

tell a story of loss. families use them to say good bye to their loved ones with the last heartfelt message. but sometimes will say not our volunteers don't know who they're burying. i can only write on a no x, those i'm gonna reach out to 0 or the united nation. so as, as really forces have demolished more palestinian homes and buildings in the occupied westbank this year. than ever before, since january, the 1st is really forces have destroyed more than 1100 palestinian buildings. that's the highest and a year since the u. n. started documenting such actions in 2006 is really authorities say many of these homes were built without a permits. only 2 percent of palestinians, applications for construction are approved by israel. the pace of demolitions has increased following israel's war on gaza. 354 had been recorded since october. the

7th is really settlers have also become increasingly hostile. settlers carry out 6 incidents of violence on average every day. now properties that have stood for decades and they occupied, westbank are often destroyed because it's really authority say they were built illegally. it's a policy that drives many palestinians from the land. they've lived on or farmed for generations. bernard smith has more from the occupied westbank a token is riley, military bulldoze at 10 minutes to destroy side the upper j. she's home of 30 years . the justification, it'd been built without a pony. but then at most, only 2 percent of construction applications are approved and the occupied westbank is rails. government would prefer it if the palestinians just left cabinet under him instead of the house had been demolished before in 1998. when i was pregnant,

we were living in tents. there was a baby girl who was only a week old, the forced us out. after leaving us in the cold, they confiscated everything. then we built the house again. here we are now again living in the same situation. and then there are a setlist new, emboldened since the start of the war and gone to settle a violent assault to its highest levels. since the u. n. started recording data. there are now 6 incidents a day on average. now is rarely human rights group that solemn says that this policy of making life so miserable for the palestinians that they eventually leave is effectively forcible transfer. and that's a whole crime on the international law. but it doesn't happen, a gun point is irrelevant. this subtle is grazing the shape of a palestinian land. the palestinians are powerless to stop in a combination of destroying homes, prevented construction. and encouraging settlers is driving palestinians away. i'm

recording just like us a statement that i and shuttle and 1989 said clearly he was visiting, visiting south africa. the think it was the types of ethic when he came back he said, literally, you'll come, floated people in trucks nowadays and for them outside the borders. you'll create the positive conditions to convince them to you. and that's clearly what they, what they were doing. you know, implementing actually these days of the semester to so when the power sittings are driven out, the settlers move in. the settlement began with one house for 2 years ago. as it expands, it eats away the palestinian land around it. but the apple j, she's home and the photo island around her. he's in the way about expansion going at smith. i'll just add a photo spade to john in the occupied westbank. the

now we'll take a look at some of the days. other news on russian officials say at least 10 people have been killed by ukrainian, striking near its border. the belgrade region was targeted president vladimir putin has held a meeting about the situation. it follows the largest the rest of the salt on ukraine this year. 39 people were reported to have been killed on friday, and during that attack, poland says a russian missile briefly crossed its air space or salt, which is a member of nato, has summoned moscow's diplomatic representative for an explanation of russia says there is no proof of a board or violation. thousands have rallied in the serbian capital to protest against what they say are rigged election results. the main opposition alliance accuses the government of allowing ethnic serbs from bosnia to vote illegally presidents, alexander, of which a serbian progressive party secured a narrow in,

in parliaments earlier this month, which and his party have denied allegations of electoral fraud or to.
