we've corresponded rebecca river is in the as rarely town of. they came near the border with garza and across that border in gaza city. as journal sophie found a ton, i asked them earlier about the current situation on the ground after a day of heavy cross border fire. it certainly has been pretty heavy across the board as far as you righty. point out some of the words that we've seen since august last t, when there was another flare up here around about 300 or nearly 300 broke into last official figure was 270 though it's still that number is going to be a lot higher as of all these have continued, have been fine today from gaza, which is pretty dark. now. you probably can't really see behind me, but the lights there on the hill that is across the border into garza. now, even in the last couple of hours we've been hearing room is it's being reported in some media that is, talks of a cease fire. but even at the same time as that was,

you know, room it or announce or being reported on in various media. we saw another quite large volley come across a couple since then, and even some more rockets as even more solves towards televi tv's. so definitely that cease fire. i'm not going to the sci fi talks, at least not going that. well, the situation here is the most, all of those rockets, many of them we can see behind us a little bit earlier. they were shut out by the by, as well as a defense system beyond done. some did make line full name in the city of serat, uh, and ash cologne, where a couple of buildings were damaged. mm hm. we can see it from where you are, but we do have someone across the border in gaza. sophie, what's happening there? a so i'm standing north of guy, the city, and we've been seeing during the past few hours from about 730. rock is being fired . be launched friend here towards israel. we've been seeing and hearing them. and

at the same time, there's also been further attacks from israel into the gaza strip. so far we don't know anything about casualties here. and we've of course, also been following the talks about a possible ceasefire. but the finding obviously seems to be continuing right now. it's quiet, but we need to see how this is going to be developing. sophie, this latest escalation is between israel and the militant as long as the high that's designated the terrorist group by israel, the west and european countries. how strong a force is this group and gaza it is a no to inspection in gaza 2nd to home us, which is controlling the gaza strip and has less capabilities and has less finances . but the fact that it's been behind recent attack shows that this faction is not to be underestimated. israel keep reiterating that they're specifically right now

targeting b is why make jihad know, trends and whether this conflict, my brother escalate totally depends on what role, how much might be playing? yes. and then up to this point they have been appearing to remain on the sidelines . so how, so what is their role sophie? so i'm not, was not interested in a fully fledged escalation. that's what many experts and what are assuming because i'm also seeing what an escalation like that could mean back in 2021. massive destruction mess of suffering and the civilian population. i'm not worried about losing popular support if that were to happen again. if there was another war that would include harm us with lots of casualties. the situation and gaza as dire, the economic situation is very dire. and the work permits that are given by israel

to costing and workers across the board. us are very important for the economy and gaza and they will be threatened if there was another longer escalation that some of us would be involved in. so there is definitely political interest here as well, and not letting this further escalates. but we need to see what's going to happen. rebecca, let's talk about the process of a ceasefire. what's being done to bring this funding to an end? well that have been told is ongoing between egypt, katasha and the un, their sort of speed heading talks and negotiations. now, earlier in the day, israel was saying that it was willing to accept a see saw respond, but it would definitely be willing to face hostilities as it was, you know, we were hearing that how muscle also in agreement. but now it's looking like we're also hearing from some soul. so saying that the sci fi talks have broken down, namely, because is ro wouldn't agree to stop targeted assassinations in the,

in goals or against the islamic jihad, militants. and so that means that they, as long as you had said that they, they wouldn't go ahead with any, say 5, but of course, these things all fluid. this is on an ongoing situation. the talks continue. and we, you know, suddenly residence in dallas or, and here in, in southern israel, all hoping for something to present things to be coming down. but you know, it could be a long night ahead. volatile situation in israel and gaza rebecca rivers and so fee fund that time. thank you so much for the view from both sides. a cord and fox don has rolled up, the former prime minister and run con, can be held in custody for up to 8 days. con was dragged from court and arrested in his loan and bind on tuesday, sparking widespread protests across the country. at least 5 people have been killed, according to media reports and hundreds of his supporters have been arrested after clashing with authorities now local broadcast or g. o news says con has been
