kidnapped killed. i'm missing in israel. shiny lute a german citizen, was abducted at the rave, or the more money thought. her mother is still holding out hope she's a live video. we were sent a video in which i clearly recognized my daughter. she said, i'm conscious 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 a 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, sent 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 for the uh, the communities they that are still finding. they're still finding ongoing and 7 to 8 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 the c attempt to release those prisoners. many, many thanks to rebecca raters. story me now is sony was honesty, w's, middle east analyst. shawnee, you come from is real. you're in constant communication with your family there. but wherever one's family is from those images of hostages or shocking the world is

watching. images of is relays, including women and children being drag and way by government. can you speak to what the families are going through? it's complete horror. you know, we've seen some of it now in the report. the biggest problem is that they feel they've been left alone. they don't have anybody from the government helping them in their 1st day is know, there's so much k us still in israel. people don't have, there's a clear registry. there's no list. there's not enough data about who is actually abducted because there's many, many quotes as many people's with who's, who's still line lang in the fields. so there's still need to take control over the whole territory. try to sort out through this mess and figure out who's missing, who was abducted, who's unfortunately as the martin murdered. and this is purchased every house and it's rarely, as we family know, somebody who's been either abducted fighting, drafted,

unfortunately dead. this is touching each and every house to be question everyone's asking is, what can be done to either rescue the hostages or in some way secure there really? well, there's a back channel, but you jumped um trying to get at least the children and the elderly and the women out. it's not quite sure how far this is going and how many chances are to it. operational um you know, oppression on the ground bringing is where the soldiers just into gaza. this is something that israel has been trying to avoid for many years, trying to avoid when it has good intelligence and definitely now with lost trust and intelligence with more limited intelligence is very much hesitant to do, but might need to do. we know with lack of other any other better options. it's a very complex situation is the biggest asset mazda has now, these captives, let's dive deeper into what you were just saying. these attacks shocked israel. has the nation been more than rattled?

oh, completely. first of all, there's the whole understanding that the idea is not as my t is not as strong as believe to be. and then the personal angle for many people who are, as i said, suffering. and i personally touched by what is happening. um, and there's a feeling that the government has, is not in control of civil society. a personal personal initiatives by people are the one you know, there's a, there's high to company trying to sort through dna in order to help people figure out where their loved ones are. there is also all sorts of hide to companies trying to run through. come us videos in order to catalogue of the people that use really seen there. these are private initiatives, civil society and initiatives. and the government is still not very much in control of all aspects of what we're seeing unfolding and israel. so people don't feel that the government is actually looking out for it citizens correct? unfortunately. um there's no doubt shock and, and, and k is also among the ranks of the government, but also nothing else. government has, has, you know, this, this attack comes on a backdrop of

a very turbulent time for internal strife and israel. and this is now exacerbated by what we're seeing. and there's our attempts now to go for grand coalition in order for that, you know, mistress to sort of be breached for people to feel that they are in better hands. and that's to get a wider support to the efforts that are now so necessary for anything. so dw middle east annual is shawnie who's on who's welcome michael. here in germany, there's been a public show of support for israel, with berlin's brandenburg gate lift and the colors of these rarely 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, spoke at the event. it was just one of several rallies across germany intended to show support for israel. the german 4 and ministry has confirmed that there are indeed german is really nationals among the hostages taken by him. a chancellor.

although shaw 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 saw nothing beyond that. goes 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 thousands of rockets from the gaza strip into israel, up to the fire type next the same time. heavily armed fighters infiltrated israel because it defies that one for the good to enter the houses of innocent civilians find those in discriminatory 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 by bike access 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 physician, 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 going to stop because all a piece of more stories making headlines at this hour, voters have del chance, a little low shots as coalition government, a sharp rebuke and elections, and the key german states of bavaria and has felt his social democrats suffered heavy losses while opposition conservatives won in both states. and along with the far right alternative for germany party who won big. within 2000 people have been killed in a series of earthquakes in north western afghanistan. they are the deadliest travellers. it hit the country in years. the taliban say at least 9000 more have been injured. several villages have been completely destroyed. interlock of 5
