the, the, this is the views live from ballot. the desktop arises in israel and gauze on hundreds on now dead on both sides of the border after the attacks by the palestinian militant group home us on southern israel and israel's retaliatory strikes and german trump. so what i've showed says security has been stepped up surrounding jewish institutions across the

i'm gonna have elf is welcome to the program as well as the glad to state of war off to a massive surprise attack by the palestinian militant islam is group from us. which is regarded as a terrorist organization by israel, germany, the you end up as israel says, the attacks have left at least $700.00 people that reprisal as strikes on garza city, have killed hundreds and fighting is threatening to escalate. fed up with lebanon's has beloved shelling is rarely positions in dispute. its territory along the countries border is where it is firing back. while the full scale of a mazda us attack is beginning to emerge. this is what israel's nights man looks like. a police station inside israel oh the wrong by how most militants is really forced is managed and they stand off. but

it's a security breach that would have been unthinkable even a few days ago. 7 and it gets worse, this woman said to be in is really 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 biling retribution. i'm not fit on the ship, the atrocious act upon this is a war crime for the enemy to hold women and children is concrete to international low 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's just coming down as strikes on god the and

they say this is only the start of 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 one of the patient of palestinian territory . and israel's failure to reign in illegal is really set tremendous. 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 the 150 people in this building, including my uncle's family. my sister's i miss and the families of my 5 brothers come of that house is we're also a little destroyed. the slowness different fully and belmont showed me down a few months 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 now that's less than 2 part of a statement made by prime minister benjamin that's now late last night in is addressed to the nation. going on the commode, all of the places which a mass is deployed in hiding in an operating problem that we could city. now, we will turn them into rubble by stage the residence of gaza leave. now, because we will operate forcefully every way to the whole altima of wor, spun, and rebecca, which is joins us now from southern israel just outside the town of ask along this close to the gauze border. rebecca, israel's military spokesman, early i said the enemy is still on the ground sort of what's the latest that

yeah, that's right. the. the military spoke a little bit earlier and they said, indeed the enemy is on the ground and it means that 5 that the enemy, they mean of course, from us government who is still in is riley territory. the, the is already military, have not manage yet to clear the towns and communities completely all from us, militants, the government offices around that we believe we've been hearing from is a came which is not to saw from where i'm standing. he room like me, the guys a board of it's a came templates that there is still some gun battles going on around there. now the military is riley military has been firing inside guns that all day we've just prior to coming to air we. so some more strikes and we're seeing retaliatory fi also coming in from guns and noise to being intercepted by the i'm done. may be able to say some during this life. but let's say everything seems to be quiet for the moment. so that we could see quite intense strikes happening. stay play games

up there. there are the a there is randy military said at least $800.00 a mass targets have now been struck since the beginning since they began yesterday . the official death toll in gaza is rising. the latest figures that we have is 370 people that killed, that's from the health ministry. over that. now the death toll on the as riley side has also been rising. we're seeing reports in local media though i haven't been able to send that off from as far as effects local media. now saying at least 700 people have died in israel. and as you mentioned, the military saying that the enemy is still with in. so this, we could say this going on, so, and days and weeks, and obviously i think this is, yeah, this, this will be going on for some time to come back. i would have you heard about the fate of the hostages that come off. it's taken it's not

about the face of the hostages, or we have had confirmation. confirmation has come from is riley military to say that houses have been taken, which is of course, what we were expecting. we'd had with the same video circulating of hostages, young children, women, the elderly, and even corpses being taken back in to gauze a presumably to be used in some kind of bond. so whether that's what hostages, if it's something else, we do know we've heard a figure of around about a 100, but that is, that is what the military sort of a giving is a fee good. now they were hesitant to put a figure on the number of hostages, but that's sort of what they saying. now though that number could rises as the military have said today, the enemies still weaving. they may be more hostages. we just don't know. it's really hard to say and all of sites as always, hostages is sort of pop from. obviously the, the dead corpse is that they have taken name, which they will also try to use as phone getting chips. but the, the, the, the,

the, the hostages will suddenly my mouse will, will want to maintain, that will remain the, them to remain alive. there was a lot more than a mazda alive, but in terms of their condition. yeah. and we, we just don't know what kind of condition they're in. now we have, are you through a, is also coming on the 5 from hezbollah and 11. and what can you tell us about that? well that is something that the military has been worried about. effective a warning to announce that there may be if the threat of a multi pronged attack on israel, that is something that of course, given the events of yesterday and today something that they watching closely this morning they wore some costs board of firing has blocked. sorry, in 2 disputed areas within his routes, is route retaliated saying, and this often do, there was another, it's, this is ralph felt that they were going to be another attack. maybe they seen said that that was uh that that was a mistake. that,

that wasn't actually the case. so for the moment it does appear that there, there is not a major attack coming from the north yet, but we just, we simply can't, we simply can't predict what's going to happen and then how many days and whether, what, how israel reacts now and what they do now continuing and goals are whether that will in turn create some retaliations from the north read us or not. now tell us more about the possibility of a ground invasion of gaza. well, the military haven't been able to confirm that they haven't. they've said that that, that the options are on the table, they looking into everything and that includes the ground invasion, but there's, there's no talk all future strategy. benjamin netanyahu has come up to say that the absolute power to use to, to see that as, as they were, they said be enemies. do within the clear that enemy to make sure that they're no longer a mosque government for the inside israel. and that's about all the towns and communities

have been evacuated and cleared and checked for militants. and that is the priority . and obviously, you know, as we've seen, it's been, it's been as strikes into gaza, almost not continuously but, but often since yesterday starts, that is the initial strategy. what happens in the coming days in which we don't know though a ground offensive is suddenly on the cards. once a game these hostages are going to the hops, potentially change the approach that is one this route take because they're not going to want to injure full, can hear some tags. the area around here is also surrounded, surrounded, but they're thousands of times in positions. and we're hearing kind of was constant most of the huge into gaza. but yeah, the, the state of the hosted as we is incredibly important to israel. so that may change the tactics. we'll just have to wait and see which way they go in the coming guys.

as one of the back of it is that we bought it from close to the guys a boat, a thank you very much, rebecca. we can across to garza to speak to housing, but lucia is a tunnel is based that who joins us now on the phone. how's them? can you describe the situation where you are you ation is very complicated. it's very hard at the bottom and all the time and from my place i can hear from time to time. it was try x a, maybe a shad sniggle shots are, are filing in the sea and i can hear sometimes like i'm feeling says flushed to the scene where i where strikes taking place. some cases where, where and you know, bonds to evacuate. i mean, some, some buildings or the dense and engine light buildings to evacuate in order to destroy it. and the number of all scheduled use is increasing at the latest number

that was given by the ministry of health. and the 370, the teens in kansas tread were killed and thousands where injured p or the are counting the people who arrived the hospitals and those militants, or for it to where the, for the or those people still messed or did not connected. but these are not collected on that campus, so we are talking about 370 were killed in and by is what 80 airstrikes off to the, how much a tack on, on the 20 degree. so to what extent w, you've touched of on this, what to what extent are civilians really getting up? getting cool top uh in the crossfire then how can they protect themselves? well, this is very hard. this is very hard. god is overpopulated. the place it's, uh, it's not a fast time that the,

the best thing that thousands can do is to stay at their homes. are you ok? and seems that a building was just destroyed, not far from my place. and i say, i'm not sure it was the building was weren't stop, we can stop right here if you need to go someplace it's okay. uh yeah. um, yeah, this is like, this is what happens place at all the time you call expect or predict what's going happen. so um yeah, this is what the before regarding question, what they can do is like to stay in in their homes and sometimes it's not safe

because in case something happened near the place, they didn't know if things are gonna if something is going to happen or not so this is a situation i know filters and dogs are no place to go and, you know, some people think like get off into the motion to do the people. sometimes they have to leave their house like the ones destroyed or the what, where are the evacuate? they would go to some of the related or go to the on the schools soundless. have them about loose or that in gaza. thank you very much. thank you. no, that's bringing up to steve, but up to speed with the latest developments, us secretary of state entity blinking said several americans were reportedly killed and the homeless attacks blinking set. the motivation behind the attacks may have been to this rop israel's normalization of ties with saudi arabia. germany is foreign minister says it believes german citizens are among those kidnapped by

minutes and i'm off government. the ministry says the old deal is really drawn and citizens the united nations. well food program has called for the creation of human to terry and car doors to bring food into gaza. of us. presidential biden has reiterated his country's unwavering support for israel. he's that that support was rock solid until to the underway with the israeli government to provide military aid. a saw the full stop turn this to the wire is r u. s. presidential button speaking there and here in germany, that's been
