the, the, this is dw news line from berlin, israel's prime minister vows vengeance on whom us benjamin netanyahu says israel will settle the score with from us. after the militant islam screwed launched its largest ever assault on israel. hundreds of his rowlands are dead. others have been taken hostage. the, i'm here until berlin. welcome to the program. is where the prime minister benjamin

netanyahu says as long acknowledging group from us will pay a heavy price for saturdays attack on israel. that is left more than $250.00 people dead, and more than a 1000 wounded. in an address to the nation. yahoo said to him, us had started what he called a cruel and evil war. he pledged that israel would respond with all of its power to prevail in the conflict too much of what happened today has never been seen and the story. then i won't let that happen. again. the entire government is behind this decision. these red defense forces will immediately use all it's trying 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 israel and its citizens. the whole of the shame on the not the site and what is the annual? no, i'm telling the residents of gaza get out from the i know because we will act in every place and with all the power. the whole ultima journalist and italy's analysts are

a couple which told us what he makes of netanyahu's speech. but 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 worst, the and it says 3 a true military catastrophe that we're still not completely comprehending the dimensions up, but nothing now is mentioned again, i'm going to back up. he is getting and conversations with different world leaders . he hasn't 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 and as ro, allies have given as well more credit, then it has never gotten before understanding how great the situation is. how far

wilmonson y'all go is the biggest question right now. and we do have dimension in the contact and then 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. as the unprecedented attack by palestinian militants was a multi pronged a sold the cut israel's military off guard. a mass of missile barrage helped cover the movements of militants who streamed into israel to carry out what has been described as a killing and hostage taking spring is really defense forces responded with the airstrikes and gaza. or officials say more than 230 people were killed. after a brief halting the rocky 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, citizens of israel. we are at war not in an operation, but at war. and 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 idea 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 israel, not all of them could be intercepted 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 one verified video footage, released by him us. the attackers also used combat drones. the goal, according to her must make is real to lead. 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 bull for an awful lot in his really communities along the border wisconsin attackers fired 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 netanyahu is vowing to turn him strongholds into rubble. amid the continuing violence, he was president joe biden has reiterated his country's unwavering support for israel. he said that support was rock solid, and talks were underway with the is really government to provide military aid. i saw the full stop

turn this see why? this r w as washington correspondent, janelle, do my law on told us more about how us officials are reacting to a mazda attacks and 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 biden administration made on freezing $6000000000.00 and a reunion oil money in order to well get so $5.00 american detainees 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 her 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 iran 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 a chamber 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 ambassador

to israel at the moment. but the biggest fear and the biggest concern here is the clear intelligence failure on the parts of it is really services for us. 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 spots. there's also the wider question of what is going to happen if by doing in that in yeah, who differ in 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's. 7 a lot of really delicate questions that play but so what washington decides to do and how washington decides to get involved will definitely play

a part in 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 in 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 child support pieces 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 to 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 in doubt. 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 invite none 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. we also spoke to the w as middle east analysts. sonya was on is and asked her what we can expect in the upcoming days. so 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 in gaza because of the many is really is hijacked and captured and brought back into gaza. that 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 who will also be as early as very much look is there? i was very much careful then looking into what's happening in and who are the border will head fall off? who is an ally of from us, be joining the, the attacks with launching massages to the north of israel. we need to always keep an eye on what happening at 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 classrooms around jerusalem very, very tight days. it's quite clear that is really response is going to be unprecedented because this is an unprecedented attacks away is really see and hear some more stories making headlines around the world to strong earthquakes. and what struck anderson have killed a more than a 100 people and injured hundreds of others. that's according to the united nations . hundreds of homes were destroyed in the quakes as well. a local officials and for villages near the reigning border in iraq province bore the brunt of the damage
