the troops up in the north. and they of course, monitoring that situation very closely. they have been targeting some uh, some areas that have been under dispute to sometime tension building on that for to, for a long time. and they've been targeting those positions as well. but at this stage, the main focus is still in the south and clearing those towns around the gospel defense lied to the w correspondence. rebecca richardson, jerusalem. rebecca, thank you so much. a surprise attack by hamas quotes as well as military of god. i'm asked as the raw show of missiles helps cover the movements of militants who streamed into israel. authorities vast, say 300 people have been killed and a number of hostages were taken. and the attack is really forces have responded with strikes on gaza web hosting. you know, official is now raise the number of casualties 2 over 300. is a look at how events unfolded on saturday. after a brief halting the rocket garages, palestinian militants renewed their fighting,

firing several volleys into central israel on saturday night, sending people rushing to bomb shelters for cover of the 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, oh, you are, the enemy will pay an unprecedented price. in the meantime, i call on the citizens of israel to strictly adhere to the directors of the idea of an homefront command and we are at war and we will when the attacks began at dawn, palestinian militants in gaza fired thousands of rockets at targets in southern israel, not all of them could be interest attempted by israel's iron domed 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 him, us make israel 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. and is 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. and it's in response to the unprecedented assaults, the broadest invasion of its territory. in 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 her ma strongholds into rubble meet the continuing violence us president joe biden has reiterated his country's unwavering support for israel. he said that support was rock solid and talks well underway with these re any government to provide military 8

full stop. turn this. see the wire is a germany has taught and security a jewish installations in response to the attack. it also let off the brandenburg gates in berlin with the colors of the is randy slack, and what it called an act of solidarity is really a basset assigned to germany for what he said was a beautiful symbol. german foreign minister and a bad block has condemned to the assault on israel and said that was a risk. the conflict could spread. these are talk is i knew the day is a war to shed. i'm president, escalation by how much do you, how much is a trouble as a result of the terrorist attacks there is no being comfortable thing. just a big regional escalation 9 is kind of soon is trying to off. i can only worn down

in the strongest terms against others joining in this era. and she's so let's bring in our chief political editor mission in that case. now me tell you that tell us more about the reactions from gemini to these unprecedented attacks against israel . whole mexico refund, the expressions of solidarity from the german chances which i'm president of was in a phone call with israel's president filings that germany will stand by israel's side. we just had the condemnation and also the concern from the german farm. and it's the apple who of course is worried about this, the conflict could spread. so essentially it's echoing the words as the german head of the us president, that will. so we already have a political debate here whether funding should continue for humanitarian support of palestinians. and this,

the bank is expected to get loud. we also have warnings here and it's from the man who's in charge of basically addressing issues of anti semitism to now give maximum protection to him is ready and do wish institutions here in germany. and that's something being tremendous devout, she would do also, that there was a particular focus on the group seemed to potentially support how much this is all going on here in germany right now. as everybody is also still in the chocolate, the news coming from as well. now there are reports that a german woman is among the victims of the how much attack, what more do we know about that? as we don't know that terribly much, there is a video on x, the basic, the sewing woman who believes that her daughter, german citizen, may be a woman seen in a hamas video, essentially a lifeless body being drugs a onto a pickup truck. um,

this is very hiring uh footage and um, there's potentially a rule german systems, but we simply don't know who at the civilians are who would kick not to were killed as to dates as the numbers of still adding up. but it's just one example of many of the confusion and the cruelty that is taking place there on the ground. i just mentioned earlier that the germany in line also with what you as president said a supports israel in this case. what has been the reaction elsewhere that happens the support across the board, antonio, a good tears, the un secretary general consent of this attack warrants that this is a conflict that could spread further. i just want to stress that it's very important what us present joe biden also is said when he told

israel's enemies that they should not take advantage of this situation. clearly that is the message towards iran. the us at this moment in time says that it doesn't see a key involvement in this specific attack. while there is awareness that time off has been continuously financially backed. and in terms of other support by yvonne and that is the over arching concern. now also the in europe in union was enough on the line, the commission president, the cooling him off out the terrorist are saying that there is no justification whatsoever of for this. but behind the scenes, the, we know that there is a frantic diplomacy going on. that there is a concern that this could spread by the end. the big question mark is now, what all the arab states will do, particularly is saudi arabia, which is cooling for both sides to stop the fighting. because in israel and salad, you're right,

but we're getting close to diplomatically. and this is seen as an a mazda attempt at to stop more agreements between a key out of state and israel. so threatening stability in the region want the values chief, political. it is a mission of proof of airing berlin mission, and i thank you so much for that. and here in our son who will still raise making headlines more than 2000 people, audits off to a series of s quakes in west. and they've got us down the tale bonds say at least $9000.00 are injured several villages and the province of hey, ross, has been completely destroyed. emergency workers. so i'll continue to look for survivors. the 1st funeral for victims of the russian miss, i'll strike on the eastern ukrainian village overall saw has taken place. the couple were among the 52 victims incest days attacked well gathered for a soldier's wake. u. n. and local investigators have been gathering evidence of the
