the fis on d w, the . this is dw news line from berlin. the death tone is real and because a is searching over a 1000 is really impulsive, means have been killed after the notes and for from us launched a surprise attack on israel for hooking and mass of is really response. thousands more have to include the

i'm here until new berlin. thank you for joining us. is really has declared a state of war after a mass of surprise attack by the palestinian milton is on this group from us, which is regarded as a terrorist organization by his real germany, the you and others is really media says the attacks have left at least $700.00 people dead reprisal airstrikes on guns of city have killed hundreds there, and fighting is threatening to escalate further with 11 arms has blush showing is really positions and disputed territory along the countries border. is really is firing back, which we skipped full scale from us as a tax beginning only now to emerge. this is what israel's night man looks like. a police station inside israel. oh, the wrong by how most militants is the way the forces managed to end the 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 that to be in is really soldier, is just one of dozens of hostages seized by the militants after they infiltrated israel, as opposed to the multiplan, the thoughts on the country. for this israel is a filing retribution. i'm not fit on the show. the atrocious act from us is a will crying for the enemy to hold women and children is concrete to international law in this 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 is coming down as 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 to him. and some people say they have now lost everything in the thought on the what have on to us is complete destruction where we're the of a web family and there were a 150 people in this building, including my uncle's family. my sister's understanding the families of my 5 brothers, some of the houses we're also a little destroyed, that you have a lot of different fully and belmont shut me down to 4 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 that too early or we spoke to sophia fund. a ton is real correspondent for german public broadcaster id. she has been reporting from the city of oscar law near garza and gave us this update. or are we spend the whole day in ashland, which is about 10 kilometers north of the gaza strip? the city was totally deserted. people were mostly staying at home. there is an 80 kilometer perimeter around the border of gaza, where people are asked to stay close to shelter. our schools are closed and there is a limit of the amount of people who can gather and people who are still very afraid because the militants were still on the ground. and we could also hear the air raids by the is rarely miller tree because here is really fighter to, it's going towards guys and we could hear designations. and we've just, there is a big number of civilian casualties as well in the gaza strip now. and we could

also see how um armored vehicles were move towards the gaza border. this doesn't necessarily mean that there will be an invasion, something that's often being talked about. but there is already an intense response from the is really military underway. the israeli government has the cat today, the state of war. we're joined now by stephen a crook of the council on foreign relations in washington dc. so stephen, how exactly put, how must have prepared and carried out these attack seemingly without warning. it is an extraordinary intelligence failure on the part of b as rarely as who were a combination of complacent, distracted by their domestic political turbulence in dealing with violence in the west bank, where they had moved forces that had previously been on the cause of border leaving the gods, and what are in the mand and almost totally dependent on the use of technology to

secure it. it seems that the in a way that how mosse was taking advantage of all of these things as well as the jewish holiday of some katara and the 50th anniversary of the october 1973 war. now do we know in the context of this current uptick and violence who exactly supported him us as well. there's ample evidence already emerging that iran played a role in arming him, us and given the kind of quantum leap in, in, in how much capabilities in it extorted, changing tactics that they used. one has to surmise that the iranians were at least offering them advice in the days leading up to the attack around supreme leader was pretty active and social media threatening israel. and predicting that the, the design is and to be, as he called it, was, was dying. so there is, there is

a fair amount of indicators that suggest that the ryans do and have played a role here, including a mazda zone admission that uh, that the iranians a help to arm them. now with the a shot over run looming, large in the region, us officials have said a most, maybe trying to disrupt talks between is real and saudi arabia. what exactly do you make of that? well, i think that that's right, and it's something else that both of us any iran shares of desire to halt the normalization of israel into the region. and of course, the united states has mean engaged in intensive diplomacy to try to push forward an agreement between these relatives and the saudis that would lead to mutual recognition. there your audience have been very open and threatening countries that would embark on normalization. so once again, it speaks to how mos are running cooperation on this issue. now we also know that egypt is attempting to mediate between israel from us. do you think you can

actually achieve a ceasefire? so this is a traditional role for the egyptians that the united states, these relatives and others have often look the difference to mediate and deescalate . however, given me, the number of killed and the number of casualties in israel, the v. dwayne, which this attack and told that that has undermined israel's deterrence, i think in the short run the difference. we're not going to meet with the any successes really seem intent on undertaking a very significant military operation. listening to your leading story. i think the movement of armor into the area portends a significant ground invasion of the gaza strip. and it does appear that this conflict is going to be staying with us for some time to come. that was steven a cook with the council on foreign relations in washington dc. thank you for your analysis. my pleasure. the united nations security council hasn't met in a closed door session to address what is real as you went in bass row called

bleeding, documented, and war crimes by him us. but it's unlikely that the polarized council would issue a resolution or even a joint statement of the conflict, us deputy and master to the you and robert would said the purpose was for the international community to show solidarity with his right now the new and security council called an emergency meeting, and i just had to discuss the latest file and communities. this comes as he was present. joe biden is promising to stand by israel for more were now joined by dw corresponding janelle dumas island in washington. so do you know what exactly came out of the un security council meeting today? as well ahead of this un security council meeting? israel's permanent representatives, the united nations called on the member countries of the security council to issue an unequivocal condemnation of hum us. now this did not happen, although, as you said, the expectation that the un security council was going to issue any kind of binding

resolution or joint statement was exceedingly low. now robert would that is the u. s. representative to the united nations that many countries he saw that many countries were prepared to condemn us, but certainly not all in a pointed reference to russia. and that is part of the reason why so little was expected to come out of that meeting today. now if you look at the reactions to the attacks from the 5 permanent start security council members, it was russia's that differed the most. it differed from say, the reactions of the u. s. the u. k. and friends who were pretty much uniform in the response of a condemned thomas unreservedly. they said they stood in solidarity with israel, while russia called for an immediate cessation of hostilities. and there were also voices within russia. and that blamed western countries for it said don't

neglecting the israel palestine situation in order to focus on supporting ukraine. but just in general, we're in this multi polar situation where you have the western allies on one side of the rules based order and the lights of russia, china and iran growing ever closer. also at this moment where there is evidence to suggest that iran was involved in these attacks on israel. now, in a world where the potential exists for this conflict to wide and, and such a way that, that puts israel and iran in direct collision with one another. the potential for the security council to find consensus today was always going to be quite limited. so it does appear, there is some division in the council regarding the current violence, but us president, biting as promise is real. his support. do we know exactly what that could look like? biden and yahoo spoke again today, sunday and bite and said that he told that in yahoo side assistance was on its way

to israel. now we know that the aircraft carrier, the u. s. s. gerald or ford is on its way to the mediterranean to the, to the east mediterranean. now this is the navy's most advanced and us aircraft carrier. it has more than 5000 sailors and a deck of war planes. it's accompanied by cruisers and destroyers. and it's a major show of support for israel having this carrier strike group close by would be helpful in any number of things, including surveillance, including blocking more weapons from reaching home us or even evacuation operations. there's also reporting that there is really government once more emergency funding from washington, in order to help in buying more interceptors for its iron, do miss silent defense system. reportedly,

washington is receptive to this request. now the us already gives israel more than $6000000000.00 and military assistance a year with much of the equipment from that funding already in the pipeline according to be sent to israel, according to the secretary of state antony blinking. but of course, depending on how the war developed, so we could see aid to israel expand further. so strong show of support from washington directed towards israel. that was due to view washing corresponds, you know, do mclaughlin reporting for us from washington. thank you very much. and let's bring you up to speed with the latest developments in the united nations world. food program has called for the creation of humanitarian corps doors to bring food into gaza. germany's foreign ministry says it believes german citizens are among those kidnapped by homeless militants. the ministry says they are all do is really german citizens and polish president. andre do does says his air force is sending
