of the death penalty. the monica jones. good to have you with us. and we start with breaking news, palestinian militant islamic organization. hamas has announced a new military operation against israel after launching of the rush of rockets from the gaza strip. i'm off is on the wing, says it has fired more than 5000 rockets into israel from gaza. israel's army says onto militants, i've also infiltrated is rarely territory with pictures. apparently showing palestinian fighters with a destroyed is rarely tongue close to the border in the south of the gaza strip. according to is really media. several people have been killed while doesn't small have been wounded. israel's military, a striking targets in gaza and response. and let's cross over now

to dw corresponding rebecca, which is who is in jerusalem. uh rebecca uh the israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu has issued a statement saying, uh we are at war and we will when would have people on the ground told to do so. that's right, monica, just a short while ago. about 20 minutes so. so the prime minister benjamin bit benjamin netanyahu addressed people of israel. he was coming on the criticism on social media and other platforms for not having address nation don't, haven't come out and said anything yet. we, it was about 5 hours off to be attacked. be done this morning, which is at 6 30 am local time at 5 hours. laser benjamin netanyahu has now addressed the nation. and as you say, he said that we are at war this. we are the serious war that we will, that they will pay the price. so i really preparing paper for what is going to be a very big reaction from is israel, as you can expect. um they say that the 1st step is they need to quit the towns and

cities around guns and from palestinian sciences. as we know, there's been breeches in the gallons of will palestinian fighters have come through my sponsors through the gauze? this is because of will. we've seen images circulating on social media some from asked media outlets. so showing huge holes in that fence and fights is 10 thousands. perhaps even hundreds of times is coming through into israel. we've seen videos also circulating and the idea of have confirmed that there are on going round battles between v as maybe military and the sizes in, in as many as $22.00 towns and cities around that goes to a quarter area, monica. so a very big ground authoration taking place. now this really cool israel by surprise . this attack, these don't attack really cool is ro, completely off? got them. that's the kind of questions that are coming out. now we're starting to

see how could the is really and security services have not seen this, have not for bolted this attack before it happened. so if questions being asked, you can hear some sirens behind me. we say ministers, chromeboys, administer coming behind me, they're all going to uh, a big security meeting with the prime minister that is scheduled for 1 pm local time. and i'm sure, after that security meeting will be hearing further from the government as to what taking place. you mentioned that there have been debts reported and it has been all see clear of talking about any kind of numbers. this is an ongoing situation. as i say, we have seen many rather gruesome videos circulating, but they are unconfirmed at this stage. but it be so this number could rise because local media talking about numbers in the hundreds of, of injures injuries and deaths. but as i say, ongoing, i call concise numbers at the moment. see, but this situation is very serious and i'm president it right. uh rebecca,

you just spoke about that conroy of minutes just behind you go into a sort of security meeting a israel has also announced that it is about to launch. it's so cold. i a sort of operation in response to those attacks and we just seen any insert the we had dozens of real kids. obviously we told him that of thousands of real kids that were launched from the gaza strip into israel. this, i am sort operation. what does it mean, what can we expect that's still very little detail about that. they have loans that operation on. so that was on a quote earlier with the as randy military, that concerned that the operation is ongoing. you heard from prime minister been benjamin netanyahu, that the response will be severe. we know that the missiles have been launched into gaza from is riley side, that the response will be air c. and grounds that we could be talking about seeing is rarely troops into gaza. for the 1st time though, it's still too early to say whether or not that's definitely going to happen,

or when that might happen. as i said, netanyahu sang a priority is to get those palestinian fighters out of the towns. likely those towns from around the gaza strip so they respond will be big. but also the attack has a huge on presidents and we've not seen anything like it coming from gaza. the fear of course is that the calls will be hated. i'm us. how much come on the cooling, full find to is for from the government, for anyone to take up arms in the west bank and all the areas to join these resistance. of course fees coming that that will be seeing perhaps new stuff happening at the northern border with the $11.00 on the lights of hezbollah and iran getting involved the cost too early to say whether or not that's going to happen. but people analyst to local media saying that this attack must have had support from assistance from the likes of has been

a and potentially around through hezbollah. we don't know, it's still too early to say, but we are talking about a war and something that we haven't seen in this country for a very long time. and a to rebecca, which is the reporting for us from israel to be precise from jerusalem. the thank you so much. we cross over now to gentlest costume about lucia, who is joining us from a gas out on the phone at high seem uh, could you describe to us the situation in gas uh after israel has launched themselves in response to how mazda attacks earlier today. it's um, it's not easy to, to, to realize of what's happening till now. and since in the morning like people. lastly, people were especially school students were preparing to go to the school without any learning a some, some exclusions i started and i can be found in my course. they got

a strip and people in the beginning it so they are trial rockets that use how much used to fire into the seat at this there and there. but the lady that they real kits, but um, shortly they to we met and thousands at the allies that these are at work. it's thousands of for it's non stop until the last minute i could hear the rockets continue to be launched. along with that that, that the reports came from the board, the, the, the how much spiders and the insured. and at that stage where the bases and from communities along the border, and it's just freaking out a little explosions, have a ticket happening and found it in gaza. and so i'm over that some of these were easy ever strikes happened. there is no official number about the casualties, but the minutes to fail said that there was an in a strike on

a little to hospital deal and one of the stuff was killed out in the back. so i assume when you, when i listen to you, so the people in the gaza strip were also surprised by what was going on. how are they reacting to the situation now that the realize the situation, this is on unexpected a status of, of conflict. the experience, many, many conflicts and wars before and, and kind of like students, i like at least 4 words over the, the fifty's last 15. use an unlimited number of escalations and i'm fighting grounds between dallas a and any as well. but this time sounded very different for many reasons. one is like that's like a huge number of topics were fired out of not no, nothing you know like no, no good diction out of that. plus the, the ground invasion if we, if i'm allowed to say,

so like for the how much spiders in today's rated communities. the 4 pieces that came from the 6 related over on the social media of and many is really an army that goes way confiscated and changing to dogs. a and a did is what really, buddy easiest way the soldiers as how much publish the video or they're fighting and it was what 80 days is unusual. 80 communities and, and searching beer and the patrolling would be a car. and so that reaction is different. back to you a question here. we know that some people rush to the, to the wisdom shops and to big companies, trying to get as much as they can because they expect it to be. all right, cause i'm, i'm afraid i'm afraid a sudden the uh, the quality of sound it's, it's getting more more difficult to understand too. so i'm afraid we have to leave

it here, but it has a balloon shows every journalist a uh, joining us here on the phone from guy. so thank you so much, let i irena inactive as to now guess why my d has won the nobel peace prize more. my d has fought for women's rights and democracy and the islamic republic for decades and faced harsh punishment from the author retiree in state. she's currently behind boss in iran, but following the peace prize announcement calls to her release and growing up in august mohammed e, one of your owns most prominent human rights activists can now add nobel peace prize laureate to her list of accolades. then the wage no bell committee has decided to award the nobel peace prize for twins. 2 twins, 232, no, i guess mohammed v for harris. hi. against the oppression of women in
