this is the, this is dw news line from berlin, israel's prime minister of violence, vengeance on 2 months. then you've been out of the office as is, will was to settle the score with them us. after the militant islam watched its largest ever assaults on israel, hundreds of israelis are dead. others have been taken hostage, the and there until berlin, welcome to the program is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the islamic

militant group from us will pay a heavy price for saturdays attack on israel. but his life more than 250 people dead. and more than a 1000 wounded in an address to the nation letting yahoo! so to most had started what he called a cruel and evil war. the pleasure of israel would respond with all of its power to prevent the conflict. most shaking. huh. you, what happened today? has never been seen a nice story then i won't let that happen again. the entire government is behind this decision. these red defense forces will immediately use all its strength to destroy the capabilities of how much it was to feed them to death and take revenge for this. like day they've inflicted on the state of east for you and it's citizens, the whole of their shame on the moon and the not the 1st one is located on the, on the i'm telling the residents of gaza get out from the i know because we would act in every place and with all the power, the holo, it's more a journalist in middle east analysts out

a couple which told us what he makes of netanyahu's speech. well, i think one of the most significant things that nathaniel mentioned in a speech besides have raved, the situation is which really is hard to uh, to overestimate this has been really one of israel's worth the. and it says 3 a true military catastrophe, that we're still not completely comprehending the dimensions of, but nothing now is mentioned again, i'm going to back up. he is getting and conversations with different leaders. he has mentioned us president joe biden. he has mentioned a french president also, and he said that the leaders from all over the world are giving him credit understanding the gravity of the situation. now the biggest question is how much nathaniel will use this credit in the retaliation against some of the palestinian islamic jihad and the gaza strip as a whole. it seems like a situation where the western world is ro, allies have given as well more credit then it has never gotten before understanding

how great the situation is, how. busy are wilmonson, you know, go is the biggest question right now and we do have dimension in the content and that's in the out is the head of israel most extreme right wing government in israel's history. so what's gonna happen right now is really it game of new rules. all of the former equations are broken and it's quite a great situation. the unprecedented attack by palestinian militants was a multi pronged assault that called israel's military off guard. a mass of missile barrage helped cover the moments of movements rather militants were streamed into israel to carry out what has been described as a killing and hostage takings. free is really defense forces responded with the air strikes and gaza, where officials say more than 230 people were killed. as after a brief halting the rocking garages, palestinian militants renewed their fighting, firing several volleys into central israel on saturday night,

sending people rushing to bomb shelters for cover immediately after the start of the surprise attacks from gaza, israel called up hundreds of thousands of military reservists for citizens of israel, we are at war not in an operation, but at war then we will come up. oh you are. the enemy will pay an unprecedented price. in the meantime, i call on the citizens of israel to strictly to adhere to the directors of the adf and homefront command, and we are at war and we will win by the end of the attacks began at dawn, palestinian militants in gaza fired thousands of rockets at targets in southern is real. not all of them could be interested by israel's iron dome defense system. at the same time, hundreds of homos fighters broke through the border fence into israel. the

coordinated early morning assault included power gliders, according to and verified video footage released by him us. the attackers also used combat drones. the goal, according to the most to make is real lead to a lot of now we have decided to put an end to israel's misdeeds with god's help though so that the enemy will realize that the time when he can do mischief without being held accountable is over the full for an awful lot in his really communities along the border with gaza, attackers fired and civilians on the street. the occupants of this many bus never stood a chance after in full trading is really townsend army. bases from us also kidnapped soldiers and civilians taking them back into gaza and holding them hostage

in response to the unprecedented assaults, the broadest invasion of its territory. and 50 years israel has launched operation swords of iron striking several targets inside gaza, including multi story buildings. israel's net and yahoo is vowing to turn him strongholds into rubble. amid the continuing violence he was present, joe biden has reiterated his country's unwavering support for israel. he said that support was rock solid and talks for underway with these really governments to provide military aid a saw the full stop

term. see why this? par dw washington correspondent, you know, do my loud and told us more about how us officials are reacting to how mazda is attacks in israel as well. the response here in the us has been one of clear condemnation of homos and solidarity with israel. that of course, is not surprising. israel into us are very close allies. israel was designated a major non nato ally by the us more than 30 years ago in bite, in, for his part in all of the statements that he has been releasing today has been emphatic and in the stressing israel's right to defend itself. and us preparedness to help israel with whatever it needs, while also warning actors that may be hostile to israel, to not take advantage of this moment and that the world is watching. that is

perhaps an in direct but pointed reference to iran. but because this is the us and we find ourselves in a strange political moment. so i'm have taken the opportunity of taking these attacks of an opportunity to attack biden and his policies in the middle east. some hard line republicans are already linking these attacks to a deal the by then administration made on freezing $6000000000.00 in a rainy and oil money in order to well get to a $5.00 american detain is released. there is, of course, no evidence linking that money to these attacks, but it just goes to show you that even here in the us, where condemnation for a mazda is a pretty much universal. some are still taking it as an opportunity to score domestic political points in a way that might not prove terribly productive for the wider discussion. in the

coming days. i'd like to circle back to him for a moment. if i could, to your comments about a run is washington afraid that this could grow into a larger conflict? this indeed, i think everybody has to be afraid that that possibility exists. that a wrong box has the law, for example, could also mobilize and that this could escalate into a wider conflict. but it has to be said that the foreign policy and the security establishment here in washington really has kicked into high gear. they've been meeting all day discussing next steps to prevent exactly that from happening and trying to determine how best to help out. but it also has to be said here that there are a set of uh, specific conditions that might prove challenging. for example, there is no current speaker of the house, so such of the chamber it might be limited and what it could do in terms of and in terms of deciding on aid and policy towards israel, there's also no permanence us. i'm baset or a to israel at the moment,

but the biggest fear and the biggest concern here is the clear intelligence failure on the part of it is really services that you, wes obviously relies very heavily on is really intelligence to know what is going on in the region, especially if the question becomes how to avoid a wider conflict. there, they have to work together now with israel to discover where those blind spot saw might have been. and what to do in order to address those blind spot. there's also the wider question of what is going to happen if by doing in that in yahoo differ and the way they want to respond to this biden's priority will likely be wanting to contain. the violence will bite in a while not in yahoo will want the most of the tearing response possible. so there are a lot of really delicate questions that play, but what washington decides to do and how washington decides to get involved will

definitely play a part and whatever outcomes we will see from here on just because of washington's status. as israel is most important ally, so do you think that this conflicts could actually change washington's policy and the surrounding region? or i think it is fair to say that at least from the biden administration's perspective of these attacks, so represent a resetting of the chessboard piece is when it comes to wider middle eastern policy . by dint of course, was heavily involved in these efforts to normalize relate, between saudi arabia and is and, and israel he was leading on the, on is real heavily to provide more concessions, the palestinians. now that these attacks have happened, it's hard to see how he could continue doing that as therefore the future of those efforts might be invalid. but finding himself is a very strong support of israel, even as relations with that in yahoo had been strained as of late. he famously

criticized that in yahoo is traditional reforms. he refused to commit to inviting on yahoo to the white house over several months. now the 2 men did meet a few weeks ago on the sidelines of the u. n. general assembly in new york and biden did end up inviting nothing yahoo to come to the white house before the end of the year. but what one can only imagine just how different the tender of that discussion will be. now, it is hard to imagine bite and being as hard on that in yahoo as he once was. and that was due to his washing correspondence, you know, do a lot on thank you for your reporting. any. are some more stories making headlines around the world to strong earthquakes and western of denison has killed him more than a 100 people in entered hundreds. others that's according to the united nations. hundreds of homes were also destroyed in the quakes. a local official said for villages near the reigning border,

and he wrote province for the bronze of the damage the 1st funeral for victims of a russian. this will strike on the eastern new cream village afford. so that's taken place a couple of were among the $52.00 victims killed and thursday's attacks were gathered for a soldier's wake. when the local investigators happened, gathering evidence at the side double ins, cool leader has appointed members of the new national assembly and send it for a transitional period. ahead of promise elections expected. next year. security chief can read out of length is cool in august. after more than 55 years of little by little thing by hand. his father will know me. the turkish defense ministry says it has quote, neutralize, at least 14 kurdish militants and overnight strikes in northern syria through delegation comes after a bomb attacking and car. and nearly a week ago,

turkey has launch several attacks against what it claims to be milton targets in northern syria and iraq. and here's a reminder of our top story at this hour. this is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the is the oldest and militant groups from us will pay a heavy price for an assault on israel. it killed more than $200.00 people or to inspire thousands of missiles and broke out of the guns. this trip to kill his release and take hostages is really defense forces launched airstrikes and gaza. or officials say at least 232 people were killed. and you're up to date, but to stay tuned. for porter is next. taking a look at the slope like election campaign, or if they can use an anti use slogans, boosted a victorious pro russian candidate. don't forget, there's much more news on our website, w, w dot com, of course, but also follows on instagram and x, where
