[000:00:00;00] the, this is due to the news line from berlin, the death toll swords in israel and gaza. hundreds are now dead on both sides of the border after tax by the palestinian militant group of mos on southern israel. and israel's retaliatory strike. and german transel of schultz says attacks on israel can not be celebrated on the streets of germany. he says police will be stepping up security surrounding jewish institutions across the country.

the unlike local welcome. israel has declared a state of war after a massive surprise attacked by palestinian militant as long as group hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist organization by israel, germany, the you and others. israel says the attacks have left at least 600 people dead. reprisals, air strong to and gaza city have killed hundreds and fighting is threatening to escalate further with lebanon's hezbollah showing is really positions in disputed territory along the countries border. israel is firing back. well, the full scale of how mazda is attacked is beginning to emerge. this is what is the rails nights man. looks like a police station inside israel. oh,

the wrong by how most militants is really forced is managed to end the stand off, but it's a security breach that would have been unthinkable even a few days ago. and it gets worse. this woman said to be in is ready. the soldier is just one of dozens of hostages seized by the militants. after they infiltrated israel. this posts of the multiplan, the sold on the country. for this israel is a filing retribution. i'm not fit on the ship. the atrocious act upon us is a war crime for the enemy to hold women and children is concrete to international law. it is country to islam. and anyone who participates in this will be held accountable and avoid the push board. israel's response has been swift. it just carried out strikes on god the

and they say this is only the stopped what will be quote, a long and difficult tool. many in goal is to say the assaults by militant islam is thomas was launched because of anger. is there a patient of palestinian territory and israel's failure to reigning illegal is really set from and some people say they have now lost everything in the thought on the what have on to us as complete destruction. we are the of a web family. and there were a 150 people in this building, including my uncle's family. my sister's, i miss the families of my 5 brothers, some of the houses we're also a little destroyed. the slowness different fully and belmont showed me that if a month ago, how much continued firing rockets over night targeting civilians and hospitals, israel to set up. it's a tax from the but seeing what some fear could harold,

a dangerous escalation, israel responded to fire from the militant group, has the law in lebanon after they launched guided missiles at a disputed area? is royal is now beating up its security presence. the 2 that's listened to part of the statement made by prime minister benjamin netanyahu last night in his address to the nation, going on the commode, all of the places which a mass is deployed in hiding in the operating from that we could city. now we will turn them into rubble by stage the residence of gaza leave now, because we will operate forcefully when it's everywhere go to the holo tomorrow. a dw corresponded rebecca river as joins as now from southern israel, outside the town of ashcroft on close to the gauze of border. rebecca, we just heard netanyahu speaking. that is really military does indeed appear to be

acting forcefully. we've seen images showing several airstrikes on guns in recent hours, and the death toll is rapidly rising on both sides. what's the latest you are hearing? well michael, they are indeed continuing the strikes and we still had quite a few of them this afternoon. hitting the neighborhood of 800 in gauze and northern garza, which is just across the border from where i'm standing. it's probably to dock to see it at the moment, but it's not far from here and we can see the plains of smoke. finality is rarely ministry. have since confirmed that a total of $800.00 sites have sofa being struck. and as we just heard nothing, you know who say that, that's just the beginning. the death toll on the guards inside is rising. it's at the moment the official fee goes from the goes and health ministry stand at $370.00, but of course, so it's because likely to rise. now, you know, the problem in dallas are obviously civilians don't have much option as to where to

go. we know that the un has now said the owner of the, the, the body of you and it looks off the refugees and goals of say that there's around about 200001000 uh, taking shelter in the schools. uh so its hopes that that can help at least try to minimize some of the civilian casualties, thoughts, or is it strikes looking set to continue. now where i'm standing stationed around us here, uh, thousands of tanks and we've been hearing hillary fi most of the day and it's quite loud and things are picking up here actually at the moment. and there we're getting reports that there is still some gun baffles in the region. we know that the, the military have concerns that there are still have mass gunman in the area is real. they haven't managed to quit stories. there are still gun battles going on. and searches some more mass militants, now a mass. so people have said that they uh that they that they, sorry, excuse me, just getting the signal so much that they, um, the,

sorry that i spoke to when i said that they actually were able to replenish stokes . and in fact, even swap out some finances, just how they've done that. obviously no one knows. and so we certainly don't know publicly. and so this could be going on for some days. and as i said, things have been picking up here this evening. we've seen a couple of these rarely helicopters land in a field just near us and lots of movement, lots of movement of tanks and artillery, as well as other military vehicles and a very heavy police presence in the area. israel has now confirmed more than a 100 people have been kidnapped by him. us. do we know anything more about them? that's very difficult. the information coming out has been scanned. very has when would they was confirmation and now as you say, there's a, i would say a cautious confirmation of numbers around a balance, a 100. we'd definitely been saying kind of thousands that was the indication we were getting from the military. earlier today we've sold,

we've seen video circulating on social media that would indicate at ease, around a large number. but i think the full title is not yet knowing the, the complaint total. and of course, as i said, there are still government and, and i'm us government in israel so they will, may be more to come. it's a rated content, give a figure on that in terms of what's going to happen with them. obviously is rarely going to do what they can. they've said that they are going to do everything that they can to try and have those hostages released. we're talking about women, children, the elderly, and even clips is being taken back into gaza to be one would assume to be used in an exchange and a prisoner exchanged or to use is some sort of bargaining chip. now that of course then he knows what israel or how israel might decide to proceed when it comes to attacking from us in guns are obviously if there are $100.00 or more civilians is riley civilians in there, they may choose to take

a different path that is still not clear, it's one thing that we know benjamin netanyahu said yesterday, the priority is of showing up the area around the gallons. a strip that's in is around that still has a how much find to is the area? is that going to clear out the entire about an 80 kilometer radius around the goal is a strip and they've been doing that, taking out citizens from the towns and communities around here, relocating them from there. you know, we're still uncertain what, where exactly the hostages are and, and how they'll proceed in trying to evacuate them. rebecca is, you know, israel now also has to deal with a northern front as it is coming under fire from hezbollah in 11 on what more can you tell us about that? well, sofa the signs from the northern border, the border with levon on there. of course this morning was some cross border action in this afternoon so they might be

a bit more. but we like to her that actually that was a false alarm. in fact, it wasn't as, as rarely military 1st thought that it was a and other attack. so that, you know, calmed cold the jacks, if you will. the military have said that they of course, concerned about that they have been signaling for months that they've been concerned about a multi pronged attack from south and north and perhaps elsewhere as well. but so far they seem to think, or they've at least said publicly that there is no indication that they think from us, sorry has. but i will join in the fight from the north. perhaps what we saw earlier this morning was an indication of hezbollah trying to show that they are supporting, or they did come out sizes that was in support of mazda and the actions here in israel, spots is sofa. it doesn't look like they, it's going to escalate at least not any immediate future that so dw correspondent rebecca readers reporting close to the guns

a border. thanks rebecca. and let's bring you up to speed with the latest developments us secretary of state antony, blinking said several americans were reportedly killed. and the homeless attacks blinking said the motivation may have been to disrupt israel's normalization of ties with saudi arabia. the un security council has scheduled an emergency meeting to discuss the escalation of violence in israel and goza later today. the talk to a focus on the situation in the middle east. and the palestinian question. and the palestinian authority has called for an emergency arab league meeting at the ford ministerial level as soon as possible, as according to palestinian media. amid the continuing violence us president joe biden has reiterated his country's unwavering support for israel. he said that support was rock solid in talks were underway with these really

government to provide military 8. the full stop turn to wire is are we should mentioned here in germany there's been a public show of support for israel with berlin's brandenburg gate late in the colors of these really flag on saturday night. and on sunday, more than 1000 people gathered at the gate in the heart of the german capital to show their solidarity. israel's ambassador to germany as well as berlin's mirror, have spoken at the event, is just one of several rallies across the germany intended to show support for

israel. some of the participants talked to dw and explain why they joined the rally . the, the, the, the, because we're seeing it sold to the old free world. what's happening and was who is ready to deal with this. so if you try to solve the, all the entire world right now. my brother, my, my friends german

terrible attack by the germany stein steadfastly, by his real side. and as i take the security of israel is a part of germany's reason this day. this is gotcha stops because all our chief political editor, michelle, yellow, cliff know, told us what in the german transel. these remarks stood out for her very last words . what i saw repeated, the pledge that is produced as a ungrammatical may 2008 before the class. it is rare in parliament say that israel security is reason of states. he added that germany will act accordingly. not going into any specific details. he already spoke on the phone to bring him a message out and he announced that he would be speaking to egypt present. i'll city of course, who is a major player in the region, appealing to both sides is full measure for, for the violence to
