warm welcome to viewers around the world on michael. okay. the is really military says it has drunk more than a 1000 targets in the gaza strip over night. as rockets continue to be fired at israel from garza, the army added it was still battling a mazda gunman in several locations inside israel. more than 1000 people are confirmed dead on both sides. since a most launch a surprise attack on israel on saturday. israel says it is targeting sides belonging to palestinian militant islamic groups of moss and palestinian islamic jihad in garza. both are regarded as terrorist organizations by the e. u. the us and others since saturdays, massive unexpected assault by him. us within $700.00 is really is have died and dozens are being held hostage. while over 400 palestinians have been killed. the

earlier i spoke with our correspondent rebec ritters, who's in these really town of escalade. i asked her if fighting was still ongoing. near the border with garza, michael were actually outside the city of africa, long closer to the gallons of border were about 8 kilometers from the gauze and board of financing has been continuing over night behind me, you can probably see some claims of smoke that is inside dogs that are from what was either an air strike or not hillary strike? well, pretty much it for most of the night. this is randy military has been continuing its strikes on her mouse targets inside the gaza strip. you mentioned that number of a 1000 targets, but when i spoke to the military this morning, they said it's really not much point to talk about those numbers at this stage. this the scale and so of this conflict has, is like nothing that we've seen before. when it comes to gaza and israel was that

this is a change the paradigm. so i'm standing in this field from here around the perimeter of gallons, a, as for about an 80 coleman radius there at a tanks, a stations around the whole perimeter and they've firing artillery rounds also it onto most targets in the gaza strip. now also you can probably say behind me, there's positioning some true carriers and other military hardware here. these are for preparation purposes. the military trying to get on the front foot off to the surprise attack and, and being caught off guard the now preparing for what benjamin netanyahu is, wound could be very, very tough weeks ahead. rebecca, we're hearing the us is providing support. what can you tell us about that? yeah, the us is sending a, an aircraft carrier to be stationed in the mediterranean sea,

in support. a show of support are also an active deterrence and an a preparatory measure, as well as the military deed confirmed that this morning the state department, the us state department, has also confirmed that. and that should be coming within the next few days, or within the next week. a. now that's to support the military said this morning also that they would be more focused on, on all the threats and by other threats that he vaguely somebody that comment made that statement but, but referring to threats from the new world, from his blah. uh oh. perhaps even a ron, it's the more as a deterrent measure. and of course, if this does escalate, then they'll be able to assist me. do stay with us, rebecca. we want to give our viewers a closer look at another topic. as we've heard, the homeless militants abducted dozens of people during their incursion. they were mainly is released, but also included a number of 4 nationals and also women children. and the elderly.

uni asher is living a nightmare. his wife and 2 young daughters are among those kidnapped by him ass militants, and taken over the border into gaza. he identified them in a video, widely circulated on social media. they were visiting his mother in law and a kid puts in your guys that when palestinian militants searched across these really border on saturday during the morning, i context my wife. and then she told me on the phone that the terrorist inside the house. that was the last time they spoke. he doesn't want these to be the last images. he has of his family. not simply to know that to your 2 babies, the entire family, the most precious thing. you have these captive. but the trying to be positive and i'm trying to, to believe that something go we, we will happen and some of my country is when my prime minister,

my government will do something to bring them back soon as possible. another viral video shows a destruct young woman driven away on a motorbike by fighters wells. her partner is marched away by attacked her as his hands tied behind his back. the couple had been attending a music festival in the desert and both are still missing. this woman tells bbc she hid in a citrus grove. when the government opened fire on the revellers, the road to. and they were just all around me and they were going 3 by 3 and shooting everywhere from 2 sides. and they so many people like people were dying like all around. she was lucky to make it out of the desert party a lights. as were these revelers visibly exhausted, but relieved to be reunited with loved ones. hundreds of party goers are among the

kidnapped, killed. i'm missing in israel, shiny look, a german citizen was abducted at the rave or the more money thought. her mother is still holding out hope she's a life happens and we were sent a video in which i clearly recognized my daughter. she said, unconscious in a car with the palestinians who drove along the gaza strip. i am asking for any news or help to please be sent to us and do not. thank you. intel of these parents of abducted as rarely held the press conference pleaded for meeting with the government to help find their children. some of those missing were also at the music festival in southern israel, back with our corresponding rebecca readers in nashville on, rebecca, what can israel do to liberate is abducted by palestinian militants as well? that is certainly going to be

a priority for the as riley military for the government. they are going to be working, doing everything that they've can at the moment. they've set up a kind of a, come on send to a headed up by a major general ad to collect information and to work out the next steps. they haven't released obviously, any information just to as to how they going to do that. i mentioned before that they were really caught on the back foot and the surprise attack at the moment their priority is to try and clear the areas around the guys and border communities . they that are still finding they're still finding ongoing and $7.00 to $8.00 places. and some hostages still being held there. so that is the main priority as we move into the next phase of baseball, which will include the root trying, but the attempt to release those prisoners. many, many thanks to rebecca raters. it's tony me now is shiny was on, is dwone, middle east analyst, sony, whatever ones the legions might be. these images are shocking. the world is seeing israel is including women and children being dragged away by armed gun. can you

speak at all to what the families are going through? it's completely talk, the whole country is incomplete. this way everybody knows somebody who's been affected by that, either a relative who's been kidnapped and captured. somebody who was drafted, somebody who's still missing somebody who died. i mean there's content settlements and communities completely vanished with the caught short dimension. there still places at least 7 or 8 places where the military history is trying, still fighting to get a control over over what's happening on the ground. so these places are people that have not been heard be heard from for days now. so there's no, no malice seen as well. there's no teen everything, everybody. this is the only thing happening. the only priority. and you know, we are the age of, of social media. young, the age of the telegram people get their news through these panels. no, i'm filter that affects emotionally, very much the mindset them around the,

the whole atmosphere because people also feel that they've not been giving the fact . so not giving enough information from the official channels and that's creating more confusion and where ever you get your news. people are asking the same question, what can be done to rescue these hostages or to secure their release any ground operation? and garza is going to be very, very complicated. you gotta keep in mind the one thing that clouding is really thought over the last. you know, the last couple of days is the idea that they have lost their confidence in the intelligence. they don't know once they do come into garza, which is always a complicated operation, is very loose and trying to avoid for it as long, long as possible. but in normal 2nd sense, just when it was trusted in intelligence, it would have been very much a last resort option. now, considering the fact that there is no trust in the intelligence, considering the fact there are many hostages kept in many several places hidden in

garza, which these valleys do not very much know where they are going on the ground and trying to rescue these people. that's a very risky operation, and they are talks with egypt. sions, i'm trying to release of please, the young kids, the elderly people, and sort of a humanitarian gesture by whom us. because the assumption is that most has got his victory. they've got the achievements that they want it and maybe they can show some grace because they also might understand that this might backfire. the world is not looking very fondly of what they're seeing, these photos of civilians. so this is some of what's happening now on the ground. let's dive a little deeper into something you were saying just moments ago. so these are tax shocked. israel completely. has the nation's confidence been more than rattled? oh, totally shattered. it's completely shattered people not overstating. oh, i'm not at all people who are left to fend for themselves civilians,

more or less. that's the punch line. the. it's really, it's tragic strategy for defense was always a, assuming they'll be intelligence and be assuming that the border is uncomfortable. and once these 2 things have collapsed, there's nothing left, there's no plan b, there's no back line. once the militants have managed to cross as early as we left for themselves. credible a many thanks to shauna rose honors on middle east analyst here at dw has them pollution is a journalist based in gaza. here's what she told me about the situation there overnight. well last night was like. ready 8 and whole old unifying and was like the most intense. so for a compartment across the golden strength in my area, we couldn't, we felt he could squeeze at that. ready like garden and all the time,

very high and 30 and very strong. we could hear the smash windows of some distance. that being said, some time scheduled events drive in, there was a fire. we could see example rainbows. use way to get down the strength, drones all the time and need to make science from the sea and from the shovel back, like the sea seems like it was great. sometimes people might read through the sea and according to the ports they can, they were shooting that main harbor in many places where they're destroyed over night. and the most important to me it was weird. in 2

cases. one is a big fan of the office tread and the other one is to try you on the eastern part of the gall and the city of that many, many i'm a lead houses were destroyed as well as some mosques, wherever people to deadlines were destroyed. as well, and the number off of schedule apiece is rising machine number according to the mystery of health. like over night 22, a police were killed. dozens were injured to rate the difficult to over at least $456.00. some is there. is there any place at all that goes in, feel relatively safe at the moment to unfortunately not it goes up is an all is like, it's a very small pace field from the border control. i mean,

we have see in the west as well for this, from the east and north, at egypt from the south calling on the 8th as well as the, or the to the, at the end crossing is closed. and dallas is like a very beginning table that'd be too late in places to point to me in the living in garza and motional options as and conditions had been dire for years in gaza. and i imagine most residents could only anticipate things getting worse after facing is really retaliation for the events on saturday. how or palestinians in guns of feeling about i'm us right now. it's this is not, it is, it is very early to judge and that, but um, what i can say is like i hear from people when people, origin new people, they are to 5, they are afraid. they don't want war. it was outside,

then you know, old, thousands where in shock as like everybody at the swear. i mean, they were no hands on that. i called say that everybody came down that you know, angry i how much, but maybe you know, how much is part of the community the have to if you nation be have supporters here . so i'm sure that they are happy for ordinary people who are suffering and they are in, in, in, in a, you know, exposed to these things and as due to the compartment they are taken from it and they are angry and they want this order and long in the same time, they want me to teach, to be lifted and to minutes. normally i would like elsewhere and the words we have seen lately, like thousands of philippines, hopefully before the se, now like and back from jones. all right, your menu boards wherever we're talking about, that's because they were not happy and be, or you know, like looking for a better life. okay, that is

a husband blueshot in guns and many things in lebanon. hundreds of hezbollah supporters have rallied in bare room to show their backing for homeless attack on israel. people at the rally, including young children, chanted death to israel as they waved palestinian and hezbollah flex. a senior hezbollah official told the crowd that the run back party pledged its support to the palestinian militant as after hezbollah and his release forces, exchange motor and artillery. fire close to israel's northern border on sunday, raising fears of a wider conflict. earlier i asked the w baby bureau chief mohammed tried to to tell us what the situation at the 11 on israel border of this looking column this morning on the easiest way the photos, the latest significant development goes back to yesterday afternoon when hezbollah

indeed in the army exchanged across for the shelley. no escalation has been recorded since done. now, the question really is mike, of how long the existing started school will last on the east front, and how it has will react to where the going escalation in, in casa. what or libby news official saying about the conflict at the border and any signs that hezbollah will get involved again with the caretaker government has been totally silent about the situation. no official statement has been issued so far. as you may know, living in has been through presidential vacuum for nearly a year. now the parliament doesn't meet and the can't take a government's ability to make decisions will take decisions is very limited. nevertheless, sources close to has the last set that at the message that has belong, wanted to send to the israelis. it was

a limited message. this explains the cautious call situation on the borders. the escalation was very calculated and precise. it is so far within the establish tools that often engagements, however, then he has a position if it goes express fee is off escalation and have more. that has beloved from dragging live on into a world with his right. as a country is reading from financial and economic that to track down our thanks. a dw baby would view a chief mohammed tray to here in germany. there's been a public show of support for israel with berlin's brandenburg game late. and 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 mer, have spoken at that event. it's just one of several rallies across the german intended to show support for israel. the german foreign ministry has confirmed that

there are indeed german is really nationals among the hostages taken by him. a chancellor, olaf shoulds says berlin has increased security at is really and jewish institutions within germany following the attacks. and he said that germany stands firmly by israel side. nothing beyond suggest to the news that reached us from israel yesterday has shaken us deeply. under the site of the hundreds of us release up in kill caitlin terrace, fired versions of rockets from the gaza strip into israel, up to 4 side text. and the same time heavily on fighters infiltrated israel, is it did the highs that $140.00 good to enter the houses of innocent civilians find those english permanently murdering men, women and children, adults and the guys and the ducting dozens of hostages into the gaza strip. is the titans and by these are bought by a geico, and they are shocking and they kind of in any way be justified on this. so if i

start chapter, hard to the talking with, i spoke on the phone this afternoon with israel's prime minister. benjamin netanyahu funding for the shop, and i assured him in light of this terrible attack by the germany stein steadfastly, by isabel's side. and as i take the security of israel is a part of germany's reason this day. this is gotcha stops cuz all to egypt to is really torres and their addiction tour guide were shot dead in the port city of alexandria. on sunday, after policemen opened fire on a tour, good, the attacker was arrested at the scene. israel's national security council has urged, is religious travelling in egypt to leave as soon as possible. egypt normalize ties with israel decades ago, but anti is rarely sentiment still runs high in the country. for more, i am now joined by here. i mean a f pete journalist in cairo. welcome to hear what more can you tell us about this

incident? is there any evidence that they're shooting is linked to the mazda assault on israel. authorities remain very tight lipped about the front sides. andrea, the area was very quickly quite on off. we have no further information on the policeman who fired has done the on the or the 3rd is really was wounded. local associations of to our gods. did identify the egyptians where gotcha condolences of these really for administer in from the job is really, authorities have thought they were working to pay g degree and a possible there is nothing to indicate the connection or any kind of for the nation between the eventide class i'm getting the a talked about um, you just have you guys have video established modifications and direct sites run the treatments. i'm trying to see if i might put in 0. so is really travelers do

a flurry of correspondence from both egyptian confident found the foreign ministry trying to raleigh international support before any kind of reducing gather that is to be here. i mean a f, b journalist in cairo, many sex who are some more stories making headlines at this hour. more than 2000 people have been killed in a series of earthquakes in north western afghanistan. they are the deadly as tremors should hit the country in years, detailed and say at least 9000 boy have been injured. several villages have been completely destroyed. entry lock 5 people were killed when a massive tree fell in a bus. heading to match with luna. from the capital, colombo, official say the vehicle had stopped beneath the tree to allow passengers to board . within a dozen people were injured in the incident. to voters have del chantelle all of shelters, coalition government, a sharp rebuke, and electrons. and the key driven states of the very a and has
