we're, we're delivering the money scroller mean been done with israel launched to strikes as part of what it calls a preemptive operation against imminent attacks from the palestinian militant group islamic jihad. 2 of the groups most senior leaders in garza have since been killed and dozens of alleged members arrested in the west bank. palestinian militants have been firing back into southern israel. ringback for the 1st time in over a year, air raid sirens were heard in jerusalem. where pilgrims are visiting the temple mount for teacher above a holy day in the jewish calendar. the site is also home to the i'll act some mosque, a point of conflict between the 2 sides that could escalate tensions even further.

any i spoke to journalist has em belushi based in gaza, and i asked him for an update on the situation on the ground more. if shrike's more rockets out of garza, today's lady city's mortgage abilities number is increasing. then bill for, i'll schedule it even garza and the cry is the then there is no way that she barely 4 hours a day as the main orientation is shut down into a health is complaining about that or the out 48 hours that this would be suspended due to the like 30 minutes ability held on a prescott the day and they said that services applying waters to the houses would be afflicted because of the lack of electricity. now since friday, when the violence began to senior commanders from the group,

as long as you had have been killed, tell us how important that is. well is linux it had has what's called the military council. it concerns 10 member, 2 of them were killed. the 1st one was a strike in the friday. they see the job 3, and he's the notary commander of brigades. and last night in the morning, the 2nd guy had months who was killed as well in a way to strike 2 seniors from the limit where, where were killed we are, we are talking about 10 members in board tend to and this council is heated by senior is let me you had was a then bailed with dr. julie, he was way i was trying to, i said 18 in the previous time. this is significant. this is a bad sign for his learning. you had that they were exposed to days

with intelligence. and what about how mass, the group ruling guys, they've been on the sidelines. do we expect them to step in at some point it seems the, i mean we, we call expect what's gonna happen. the 100 percent, but it's clearly that from the day when i'm i decided to stay aside and not to be involved in this confrontation with as well and let the lead for the islamic jihad . all the statements came out from the latest. one was from the top leader of mine just shortly and said that they are involved again and forwards to restore seas for your to stop what they call it. that way. i question. i can just close the people in gaza. ok has an blue shirt journalist and gaza.

thank you for speaking to us. ukraine says the 2nd group of ships with agricultural cargo has left its sports in the black sea. the 4 vessels are carrying nearly a 170000 tons of grain. it's part of the deal between ukraine and russia mediated by turkey and the un. it was signed last month. the foresight set up a joint center in a stumble to oversee the shipments of food products to the world vulnerable regions . and washington has accused of aging of irresponsible actions following its air and sea drills around tie. one bating says it's ending 4 days of exercises that began after the u. s. how speak as controversial visit to tie one. the government there says china's drills simulated an invasion of the island. it sent out aircraft on warships in response. i paid off a z i in the air. and on land you think the drills of

may china's anger a us house speaker and nancy pelosi, his visit to taiwan, clear to all beijing also. and on sanctions affecting trade were taiwan and ended important by lateral communication channels with the u. s. in the areas of defense and climate change, but despite the never before seen, show of force off their coast, many tie when you say they are unimpressed by the saber rattling they just wound a dog. they've just been talking about it. i am the gone to full to start a war either. i don't think it's too likely that force would be used to date. i want to tell her that is good, that we get the maximum impact and the minimum cost. however, there are many observers who think that even a staging is not ready to fight to take over taiwan. it is prepared to take further steps to get its way as it are to happen. the drills are to demonstrate to the us

that it can block di ones, exports. i thought that is china is telling the us that if there is walked in dominion, we wanted act. i one don't bother, but we will seal off the island tongues and stopped advance semiconductors chips from going out the whole. this would be a little low to the united states to wield the mood and taiwan is the tensions will ease know that beijing has expressed its anger over pillows, his trip. and you know, he put big concerns remain that many fear that this latest episode of tensions over taiwan is a reflection of a wider breakdown in chinese u. s. relations that could turn into full scale war correspondent william yang has been monitoring the exercises for us from ty bay. he says it's unlikely tensions in the region will ease even though the military exercises are ending. the tension is probably going to likely continue and not only because china has already announced or starting tomorrow from august 8th,

they are going to continue to have life fire drills a little bit north of taiwan in closer to south korea in the yellow sea. and also in bo high until all the way in early september. so that's like a one month life drill. military exercise. they have already issue warnings for ships not to enter into certain areas. and at the same time, the time when he's a defense ministry has really also announced, or they are going to hell, hold a 2 day mill, 3 exercise in southern tie. one that is very close to the coastal towns in pingdom county. and that is basically a show us find that time one is also able to show its military capability and also has the resolution and determination to defend itself in it has the ability to do that. so, so toe and also trying to deflect, flex. it's muscle back, but do we get a sense that the government might seek to improve relations with beijing?

i think so far, this is very unlikely since the current president time when came to power in 2016 aging has basically cut off all official communication lines between typing and ranging. and there have been a lot of different frictions they have accused her of now recognizing the key principles that can actually restart this whole conversation. and on typeface side, the current government has come out again and again, basically, voicing that they are resolutely going to defend time when sovereignty. and the latest moves by beaching basically does not really offer type a, the room to actually soften its tone. or like, tried to restart the conversation with beijing because fear is also a domestic election coming up in november. and if the ruling government actually tries to show the olive branch to beijing that could actually hurt them in the local election. all right, william, that is dw correspondent william young in, ty,

pain. thank you. ah, the bundles leaders to berlin clubs of stage, an opening day darby when yawn hosted her to her and once again claimed bragging rights in the capital clash on yawn. quite happily hosted hatta for the opening fixture, having beaten their crosstown rivals 3 times. last season. the visiting fans were hoping new faces at the helm would market turn around at the club. coach sandro shots joined from dynamo, moscow, and the new club president is one of their own, ty bernstein, a former ultra, who used to stand and cheer along with these hardcore fans. but it was one of unknowns, new faces who stole the limelight, jordan c, but 2 last seasons, top score and the swiss league getting a debut goal. immediately reminding het as new boss of the uphill task at hand.

after the break, unknown turned up the heat. just 5 minutes after the restart some assigning jani car, but i think the ball into the path of shit, aldo becca, who doubled the lead for the hosts. and on your wounds, out of breath yet captain christopher timothy corner teed up robin canada to make it 3. now when you're cruising and chi bernstein seething, hatta did pull one back, but it was little more than a consolation. dody look a backhoe with a fine finish, but not enough to please the travelling support. as on yom start the season, as they entered the last number, one in the capital dormant beat labor costs and in their opening match. one

goal was enough for the home side. they claim all 3 points, defender unit, antar lost the ball outside his own box in the 9th minute allowing dormant captain michael royce to force the ball over the line was defensive calamity, all round from the visitors. and it got worse for them in injury time. as keeper lucas, red sky was sent off for handling the ball outside the box tennis, now the world's top flare. den neal, amid via dev has claimed his 1st title of the season, but britons cameron norry made him work for it at the atp tour event in those cowboys, mexico, the russian used his defensive process on this point, chasing all over the course before pushing norie to finally, make a mistake with it if is preparing to defend his title in the us open later this month, you were to dw,
