a criminal, israeli military said, most of the rockets were intersected by its iron dome anti missile system. this property and northern israel however, was not spared. israel has pointed the finger at palestinian militants for the attacks, which i'm at the time of rising tensions after israeli police rated the al acts and mos in jerusalem earlier this week is lambs, 3rd, holiest site. authority said they were forced to enter the complex to remove people. they describe as rioters palestinians, and their supporters accused israel of using excessive force against worshippers. an emergency session of the un security council on thursday night urged diplomats on all sides to show restraint. ah, members were clearly united in the need for de escalation and common region. this

is a whole month for all 3 religions. escalation is not in anybody's interest in the region, and i think you will see that the counselor sees of his master in the coming period as well as capital. but the holy month has so far brought no signs of de escalation . israel is over night air strikes were followed by a salvo of rockets from the gaza strip. scroll straight over to jerusalem. now, where are correspond? atanya kramer is standing by, tanya. tell us more about israel strikes on targets in the gaza strip. well is i started to strike the causes ship shortly after midnight? no cuz time. and they said that they had to his truck about 10 locations which they describe as belonging to hamas. how much hamas, which is ruling the gaza strip, or of course a palestinian has ministry, reported that a hospital has also been damaged. it has been a quiet a since, but

a for palestinians leaving living in garza, the gaza strip, has been, has been sealed off for the past 15 a. yes. this is a sort of a desert route to have been through the military escalations many times. and of course they sent an uncertainty right now whether this is really the end of it for today. what are you hearing tanya, from those regions inside israel that were hit by rockets from lebanon and gaza? while there's also tense quiet i in the north or of israel where there was a rocket, a several revoke it attacks on thursday afternoon than israel retaliate. and of course, it's a question of whether there will be a retaliation. again, a to what that it despite the very strong wrestler expired prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who said that israel exact a heavy price from the enemy's. we understand that you and peacekeeping mission in

the south of lebanon is talking to all sides, and they're trying to de escalate and what they call a very, as serious as situation in the south or of israel in the community surrounding at the gaza strip, which were under rocket attacks over night as well, $44.00 rockets where fire to has israel, and it is also now a quiet and the israeli army has now reassessed the situation. they have told a people they can leave the shelters that they don't have to stay near the shelter . so this suggest that they think at least this round might be over. but of course at this can't be sure we don't know wasn't what the next hour would bring. especially given the fact that we are now looking up what's happening in jerusalem be sought in the report. and most of this was triggered by violence on d. i ok saw compound of when a doing the week is where the police forces moved into the holy site. being filmed, they're beating a people. so that has to get a partly this latest escalation. tony,

this footage is from the west, german state of baton, virt and bag. in the late 19 fifties, the coin family had bought a house in the village of macos. i am the quite this number of 9 family members, and were cindy aroma. mr. murray, i would assume you've made every effort to another sales and contract between the gypsies and the owner of this town until visits of these houses here working tomorrow. indeed, have taken every action. it was possible to take the meanwhile, but the mayor was unable to reverse the sale. the night before the quiet family planned to move in. other villagers completely destroyed the house with a local pub serving free beer to those responsible. he had been, i'm sure they didn't intend to commit a crime here. they were just taking a stand for their homeland to defend it from the gypsies, from seattle to ram. the villagers were charged with breaching the peace. they

received political backing in the regional parliament from the conservative christian democrat, politician to bailey, as fonder, if a tired eagle. these is land freedom, blue, or black meal. i was responsible for defending this breach of the peace in the parliament and stood georgia. it was among the hardest causes and the greatest and most rewarding success i've ever had. i not one of my defendants was sentenced to more than 9 months. one valley and all were released on parole. our citizens all got off more or less without a scratch, that phone get coleman. even the chief prosecutor said it had been the most high school breach of the piece. so he'd ever seen on friedman's broke in fine country, long and black. cisco is with their house now in ruins. the quite family was forced to live in a barn. 9 people sharing a single space under a table. jacinto, the displacement of a d, and rama from urban areas. after 945 is

a good example of mainstream society making a bogeyman out of minorities it by creating circumstances that force people to live marginalized lives or an offer d o. and in the end, this reinforces the prejudices. they began with it. i mentally to stein back and vermani vice grew up in west berlin in the 19th sixties and seventies with them under gulf model of gibson. i grew up with my grandmother. exactly. and she always tell me the keep it down when i was playing. she was worried we'd be thrown out of our home because of people complaining nika, but it was in the middle of the day, or why long? i'm trying to find out from the me,

i had she was scared that some one from mainstream society would come and tell us to be quiet isn't and that we weren't allowed to do these sorts of things in germany in what have you thought that she was afraid of that because she still had the same fear. she had an outlet from, from, from, from house, with a young and cancel money. toast. good, wonderful, full. we lived in an ordinary apartment building. we were the only cindy they're coming from. but we drew attention because we looked a little different video. my mother and my aunt didn't stand out too much, but my grandmother did much with her. she was the only dark looking person i was and she wore long scourge. but otherwise, we always tried to blend in and not reveal who we really were often bundled. we were reserved, anxious and cautious. you know, with decent, we tried not to attract attention to not to do anything wrong with and to always be upstanding in schools. often these uncertain owned.
