retaliation with strikes on the guys a strip. let's bring in journalist sophie fond to attend for more on this. we reach her currently, and he is really city of ash kalonde and we understand you're staying in front of a hospital at the moment. tell us what's going on inside that hospital if you would so there's still patients bring being brought in injured people from the region. this is one of 2 big hospitals here, close to guys, and we can still see emergency operations being done here. there is cases of injured beings, the people coming in here because the fighting is going on. there's records reference being launched towards israel. we can hear them here. we can hear the are and i'm into something them. and i just talked to, to fathers who driven down from toby's all the way to come here, searching for their children who have been to festivals in the area. and i haven't heard for them an hour,

and they're on sure what's happened to them. are they injured all they taken hostage of a debt, and i think it's based on certainty that shocked so many people, not knowing what's going on in some areas, still being under control of pasting and militants from girls. it is a shocking day of use one for the history books and you've been reporting on it all day. uh, tell us about your experiences of the well i woke up like many people in this country to the sound of sirens, and then shortly after rockets intercepted by the iron dome. i then saw on social media, the shopping images of palestinian militants, is rarely cities. and is there any towns taking hostages and some being brought to gaza? and those are really shocking images, some very brutal, some very flooding. we then went down here to ask milan, where as i said, there are still rockets, fire going on. and as we entered,

a woman came towards us and just said, how could this happen? and i think this is a question that many question many is. randy's are now wondering about how coded happened. where was the military, where was the police? and many are talking about a massive failure of security apparatus so that this could have. and another question on another level, if you don't mind, israel's energy minister says that the israel plans to cut off the supply of electricity to gas, which i think would be by devastating to the people there. what more can you tell us? absolutely. gov. of heavily relying on energy coming from israel. it's on the blockade. it's a coastal strip. totally surround and blocking this energy from coming in has a massive impact on the local population. they already experience heavy shortage of energy to many only have electricity a few hours a day on our company,

be cutting off the energy that's being imported from israel. definitely the will have a massive impact on the people there. and just a final question. we're also hearing how mazda is ongoing, far to 150 rock is to tell of you've given any updates on that. yeah, to the high has come again under heavy attacks by rockets from guys us. we hear that 4 people are injured to old buildings in central 12 eve have collapsed. we don't need to monitor the situation, but people are very shocked that it's come that far. and that's even told beef, which is fairly far away from the god. the strip is under such heavy okay, journalists, sophia, under 10 reporting for us from ash cologne. and us president joe biden has just given a statement from the white house about the attack on israel. here's what he had to say. today the people reserve under attack, orchestrated by

a terrorist organization. how mos in this moment of tragedy, i want to say to them and to the world and to terrace everywhere. if the united states stands with israel, we will not ever fail to have her back. we'll make sure that they have the help their citizens need and they can continue to defend themselves. you know, the world, seeing appalling images, thousands of rockers in the space of hours, raining down and is really cities. i get up this morning. you started, this is 7 38 o'clock my calls. last terrace. crossing to israel coming. not only is really soldiers, but it's really civilians in the street, in their homes. innocent people murdered, wanted entire families, taken hostage by a mouse. just days after israel mark the whole list of days of the jewish calendar is unconscionable. you know, when i spoke of prime minister no,

no. this morning. i told the united states stands with the people of israel in the face of these terrace sauce. israel has the right to defend himself and his people full stop. there's never justification for terrace attacks. and my administration to support for is security is rock solid and on way. let me say this is clearly as i can. this is not a moment for any party hostile the israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage. the world is watching german politicians have been reacting with dismay to the attacks on israel. a government crisis team has meant to discuss the ongoing situation. germany's interior ministry, nancy phaser said the jewish institutions in germany will get extra protection. the german president, frank walters dunbar has spoken on the phone with his is really counterpart eoc heard song. and here's which don lawyer had to say. president hertzog has just told

me about the shocking scale of the attacks by her mouth at several locations in his country. israel has to defend itself against his brutal terror by full solidarity is with our israeli friends who have been attacked. germany's foreign minister adelina bare bach called the attack. imagine are a major rather regional escalation and word against the travel to the reach for to is always good to sit in the government's crisis team and management at the foreign office. people back in july monitoring the situation very closely. so i'm guessing, so i, this time we strongly advise against travel to israel and the palestinian territories, tennessee anderson could be to up there earlier. we spoke with each of these political correspondent benjamin as far as gruber. we asked him to tell us more about reactions coming from germany. or do they just mention the reaction of the john the president you spoke to you stuck have so then also what i do not bab upset are me for the ministers she is in todd's and not only will do is right accounts

with us, but also with other in play is in the reason that's important because germany, when it comes to the situation in east running the hosting and territories. aspen into us also with jordan player, jordan and also egypt as a so called community farm. they mentioned, but then only a few months ago and they gave a statement. so i was saying that they, it's important for them to involve people, not only these are files and gather, tibbetts, and piece. and we have the reaction off the gender president and all that sort of jeremy's john holes or has to x over the notes is sort of thing that he's deeply shocked by the rocky fire from gauze and look at the messages just kind of nation fully. tyra talk the message, the faithful, the data you with is run and also that they keep monitoring the situation. that was this process. nation germany said for administered that you mentioned these meetings behind to i'm still up with the assess the situation. so we expect to hear from them also, and they are coming. and benjamin jewess, institutions in germany have always been given special protection,

and the interior minister nancy phaser said she wants to strengthen this. uh, what more can you tell us about the context for this decision? is this right? not just jesus identifies that you're administer south of the protection of jewish citizens, have high as the priorities they all police officers already and built into the capitol is surrounding this institution. scenic ops is schools use cultural science as well. what's important to stress here is that it's not something new. this institution needs a police protection, especially after a tire shop on a c, not a book and how it exactly it 4 years ago in october of 2019 that has been increased police protections. he said, that's important to call also another german federal say to increase the protection of a jewish citizens in this country. it's the same time as germany house holding and has been stripped, has been going from, you know, trying to, to israel to this,

at least in territory. so there was a travel advisory in place and they accepted this the highest priority for then to protect your citizenship. to monitor also, when the approach there was one protest in berlin today with the small group celebrating what happened today that would give you enough time. it was an attack on a german television team. police quickly intervene there, so it's all the german government. it is important not only it to see what is happening in the region, but also it what consequences this might have especially for the jewish population into okay, do you do you use benjamin alvarez river with more insight on the new measures to protect jewish institutions in germany and german reaction to events in israel. earlier, we spoke to the deputies middle east analyst jenny rosanna, as we asked her what we can expect in the coming days. it's clear that the is really response. we are seeing scattered bombings and gaza, but it was very limited in the way it can operate and gaza because of the many is

really hijacked and captured, brought back into gaza. it will be definitely. um, almost certainly we will see is where the troops on the ground and gauze over just something to try to refrain from. but he will also be, is really, is very much the skis are in the spring. much careful then looking into what's happening in the north. a border will head fall off of who is an ally of come us, be joining the, the attacks with launching missiles to the north of israel. we need to always keep an eye on what happening in west bank, where we have basically stopped us in control, but also militants there who might want to join in. and that would then we might see classes around jerusalem very, very tight days. it's quite clear that is where the response is going to be unprecedented because this has an unprecedented attack. the weight is really see it . okay, do you have these middle east unless shiny rosanna? thank you. thank thinking. and here's a reminder of our top story. this our, it is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel is at war after the,

as the most militant group come, us launch is one of its biggest attacks. when israel's years it was a multi product assault. i land sea and air early this morning, heading multiple locations along the border with israel. and then no number of israeli soldiers and civilians were captured and taken into gatzo. israel's national rescue services, it'd be 70 people have been killed and hundreds more injured. these really armed forces responded to the attack with air strikes and gaza. health officials there say at least 230 people were killed. don't forget, you can always get the w news on the go. just download our app from the google play or from the apple app store to give you access to all the latest news around the world. as well as push notifications for any breaking news. you're up to date now, but stay with us. we have a documentary down coming up next, looking at the moment, and it's relevant to the next by cert, meaning turner's team here in berlin. thanks for watching
