an adventure full of hardships, dangers 3 years and that would change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world starts september 7th on d. w. ah . ah. this is d w. news live for late i eddie micah jr. esau last drives on gaza kills at least 10 people. these are the government says it targeted an imminent threat from the slimy g u senior emily towns and 5 year old girls. among the dead hours later,

the militants returned fire from gaza. also ahead. europe's biggest nuclear power station, closest after shelley international monitors are worried about the safety of the planting ukraine and local residents. here i'm not sure i know that the 2 year silence metal heads are broken on one small bands from around the world to gather in northern germany. but the return of the back and heavy metal festival. ah welcome to the program is really air strikes of killed at least 11 people in the gaza strip, including a senior palestinian militant and a 5 year old girl that's triggered by roger of rockets fired back at iraq from gaza

. these are the government says it targets had the slumber. she had militant group for what it called. an imminent threat is railey forces, target and apartment building in garza city. just one of many as strikes launched into the coastal strip. israel says the attacks were in response to an imminent threat from the palestinian islamic jihad group. the strikes come after israeli forces arrested a senior militant in the west bank early this week. israel carried out the precise counter thorough peroration against an immediate threat. our fight is not was the people of gossip is luigi harvey is in the raymond proxy that wants to destroy the state of his row and kill innocent israelis. the head of islam jihad is an immense inter heron as we speak. we will do whatever it takes to defend the people

and islamic jihad commander was killed in the strikes. and the group vowed to retaliate her the airline. this is a declaration of all out war against the palestinian people. we will respond to that. this is a violation and disregard for all the f as to to be made over the past days in order to restore comp. we dealt positively with these efforts, but the enemy was as usual, treacherous and carried out this rate. and now we clearly say that we will respond to this crime with all our might to had the jetty medical multi and i'm an o. as a 5 year old girl is mourned. fears of an escalation arising, israeli jets continued to pound targets in garza while palestinian militants have been firing rockets back into southern israel. i spoke with our correspondent, tonya kramer in jerusalem and asked her if people fear yet another war.

while absolutely, i think people are deeply worried about this, especially in garza, you mentioned it out. they hardly recovered there from the last war in a to in may 2021. now, of course, we don't know yet than the middle of an escalation right now, whether this will take days or whether this will be a full blown a war at the end. but it has been certainly a very difficult night for people in the south of israel, but also of course, in the gaza strip or the israeli military has continued to carry out as strikes they. they said that they have targeted at least 30 sites. it describes belonging to the palestinian militant group islamic jihad. at the same time, rockets have been launched all morning that have been air raid sirens. so people in the south have to stay in their safe rooms in their bumper shelters. now these really army says that over a 190 rockets were fired since a yesterday, a mainly in the south, some in the center, a with the iron dome,

the defense system intercepting a many of them. some also fell in open areas and some also fell inside garza that is according to the israeli army. so what has been done to comb tensions between the 2 sides but eventually in this or has to come to an end. but again, this has just as started and the question is when and what is actually the outcome . because garza has seen many of such military escalations and for wars in the past a decade or so. so we heard as some reactions already by the international community, the you and special and were for the middle east peace process has called for. com . was the saying, no, it's the civilians are in the areas that are suffering at the most. i from it there have been efforts usually in the past and also last week leading up to this escalation by each of that's traditionally the mediator between milton groups in

garza, in this case, after the arrest of an islamic jihad leader in the west bank. and it israel, but to no avail. and we saw the attack yesterday than by israel on garza leading now to this escalation. so at the moment it's unclear, you know, where this is going and it's very difficult, of course for people living there, dw correspondent, tanya, creamer in jerusalem. thank you. the koreans, precedents for laudermill zalinski just calling for sanctions against rushes nuclear industry. that's after the shelling of europe's biggest atomic power station. at least 3 strikes heads, power lines that as upper regia, plant, forsin the close out of one of the reactors, russia and ukraine, blame each other for the sheli. russian forces seized control of the station in march just the week after the invasion, although ukrainian workers still run and keith were joined by our correspondent,

my theory, bellinger. hello my, the us, russia and ukraine are blooming each other for the shelling. what do we know? what we know is that rockets have hid, so near this power plant have hid these power lines there. um the plant, as you said, has been under russian occupation. and russia has been stationing military equipment there and has been firing or shells and, and, and possibly rockets from this site. of course, this is something that's very worrisome to ukraine because it's very difficult to attack these positions or without endangering the safety of the whole country. or provoking an accident there ukraine has attacked these positions with loitering munition that sir jones that are a fly in the air that are conducted into military targets. and that explode there, which they are more controllable than rockets of course, which are also being they,

they can also be controlled and, and adjusted. but once they fly, they fly. so this strike with rockets is of course worry, worrying. and the ukrainian energy authority has sad that these were russian rockets fired as the provocation. rushes denying this, saying these were ukrainian rockets. it's not been a week. no, we have not been able or our order has no independent confirmation for any of the versions so far. as i said earlier, the, as this is definitely very worrying, we're talking about the dangerous nuclear plant. what's been down to make sure it's safe. well, the plant is under russian occupation and control over the plant is in russian hands, but ukrainian workers are still working there. the problem is that the international atomic energy authority does not have connection to the plant at the moment. they

don't have access to the plant, so we do not really know what the conditions inside is. the ukranian authorities also have limited access to their workers there. so that is of course, the biggest problem at the moment that we do not know what's really happening inside the plant. it's still delivering energy to the ukrainian power grid, but we do not know what's the situation on the ground. ok, dw correspondence month? yes. belinda. thank you. let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. at least 12 people have been killed and 43 injured in a bass crash north east of the creation capital side of the vehicle that slipped off the road. carried dozens of polish pilgrims. they were traveling to we roman catholic shrine in south. in bosnia. taiwan has accused beating of stimulating an invasion of the island nation as china continued its lat skilled military drills.
