moments after it went into effect with man. no must. we hope that we will not have wars. we are a people and we have the right to live our lives and gaza. huh. we do not want was every 2 years or every 2 days. yes. were you working with a lot of flurry of air strikes and rocket attacks traded in the minutes leading up to the ceasefire, which went into effect at 1130 p. m. local time. news of the deal was greeted with relief at the small in southern israel. mac going, i hope it will last and that will live a bit more quietly. this cease fire aims to end the worst fighting in the region in more than a year. authorities in gaza say more than 40 people, including children have been killed since israel began it's offensive on friday,

hundreds more were injured, and many buildings reduced to rubble. israel has called it a preemptive operation against anticipated islamic jihad attacks. 2 of the groups most senior leaders in garza, were killed in the strikes islamic jihad logged a barrage of rockets toward southern israel. in response, the group's leader spoke to reporters from tehran after the truce went into effect, allowed, or was that of the enemy wanted to break islamic jihad. but we did not break. we're on the contrary. the islamic jihad movement is still strong and stable and even more powerful if the achievement is clear on. well, in jazz, while the hand, he said egypt would also work to secure the release of islamic jihad leaders being held by israel. and we can speak now to get a steinberg. i'm at least expert at the javin institute international insecurity. a

says it's good. see you get a good as the latest is railey strikes were directed against the islamic jihad organization. while hamas which controls the gaza strip largely stayed on the sidelines, can you explain why that was? well, a, traditionally the more radical organization, it is strategically aligned to iran. so there is a major ideological and strategic gap between the 2 organizations. but i think the main reason for hamas are staying on the sidelines is that the organization only entered a very violent confrontation with israel in may. 2021. and it's still recovering from, from the brutal israeli onslaught on the basis of the organization that simply didn't want any major escalation. right right now. and part of the

reason is probably also that israel has losing some restrictions on the gaza strip after may 2021 and how much the doesn't want to doesn't want to lose these well when this benefit of the latest confrontation right now, the israeli military operations they come just before a general election, is it likely that domestic politics could have played a role in the decision making? know that there is much speculation that your la p wanted to show that he is strong it's, it's definitely in the coming election. he'll have to cope with the major confrontation with benjamin netanyahu, who has, who has a certain history as, as, as a strong man. so you know that he is now able to say that he has led,

at least one major military confrontation with the palestinian islamic jihad, although many is, were earliest. we'll, we'll probably think that the guns is the major military brain behind this operation. i wouldn't overestimate this domestic dimension, though islamic jihad has threatened with attacks after the arrest of one of its leaders in the west bank. so i think that military motives are paramount in the decision to attack the organization right now. if they could put politics to one, fight for a 2nd and just talk about the people people on both sides of be israel does and border say a saying they've had enough of coming under fire every year or 2. what is needed to pacify the border region, or are these annual flare ups or something that they will need to get used to? well, i think most people have already got got used to even major confrontation. i think

we have seen 6 bigger confrontations between israel and islamic militants ever since. how much took over in the gaza strip in 2007 and the, the basic problems don't disappear, the israelis, they want an occupation light. they want they want control of the gaza strip without the responsibility to administrator administered. on the other side, we want how much we sure wants to break out of these really siege. this will not change as long as hamas is in power in the gaza strip. and there is no indication that the situation in this trip itself will change fundamentally in the coming years. at least analysts get assigned back. thank you so much for your time. thank you. the united nations chief antonia tara has warned that an attack on the chaper

easier nuclear power plant is suicidal. his comments come is key of accused as moscow deliberately targeting the facility and southern ukraine or russia denies the attack, saying ukrainian forces were responsible. the plant is the largest in europe. keith says, shelling damaged radiation sensors, sensors, and but it hurt a walk worker speaking in the japanese city of hiroshima, after marking, be $77.00 anniversary of the world's 1st year attack. you ends and tenure, the terrorist called for access to the fight for international inspectors, although you will be now correspondent mathias bellinger is in the ukranian capital key and he updated us earlier about the situation at that nuclear power plant. we cannot, sir. determine where this attack came from. the plant has been under russian occupation since the very beginning of the war. a few days after the beginning of the war, the russians went on to the site and took control of it. ukrainian workers are

still running the plant, but to the ukrainian atomic energy authority. they don't have control over what they are doing there. and the international organizations also do not have access to them. it's of course, or something that russia has time to time use to threaten with dire consequences if you granted this about. and it has used it as a shield that established a to, to position military equipment there, hoping to ukraine wouldn't dare to attack the facility. ukraine has attacked positions near the facility with loitering, munition loitering, munitions are drones that fly over there are fluid into a site and that explode on side b. r controllable. they, they can be it when they fly, they can be or the flights can be canceled, or midway and etc, etc. are something that's more controllable rockets, of course,
