but how far goes i can cancel why we've got available goods and already there is shortages. the shortage of your and shortage or a for the because farmers are not able to go to the farm to hong this. there is some, some stuff available on the market at very small number of stores are easily from the area. but even the price is where. ready as bob because of, of, of. ready mix it all of the, um it's, it's not easy and the decal stuff and the industry with health, all talking about shortages of medical supplies as well. and as we are see thousands of injuries to see and arrives to the hosp. ready to okay, to the injury on the bottom, it has them, but they show giving us a sense of what you're seeing in and around garza. thank you. let's bring you corresponded rebecca raters now who joins us from the southern israel. i vill from

the southern israel village near the village of the king. rebecca, what is the situation where you are, sir? it just got pretty intense here. um near about 8 kilometers from the guys. a border uh over on my right behind us. so you can see the military of these really military, the troops, the forces there are tanks, heading towards the border. they are reinforcing forces. we're not exactly sure what their plans are at this stage, but there is a huge reinforcement of troops and hardware in this area where i'm standing now just before coming on air. there was a huge barrels of rockets coming from garza. some of them made land full uh, not far from where we uh, you want us one city escalade and another city asked on uh, we are getting reports of injuries and some serious injuries. i will give you casualty numbers at this stage because they're,

they're changing. but we do know that there are some serious injuries in that city . i've seen some videos circulating on social media that show caused burning. and that it was definitely a direct heat into of those cities as stored and as cologne. and there was being also a strikes happening into gone. so we've been hearing pretty serious, pretty regular pounding into guns bodies from the air. and from us, hillary that's surrounding this area into guns a uh, things really heating up here at the moment in this area. and sorry, and as i say trooped through build up here, we've got machinery and troops and they've been slowly heading towards the border. we're not exactly sure what the plans um, but it looks like they could be preparing for some kind of offensive israel has announced. meantime, a full scale siege on because of strep, rebecca, what can you tell us a little bit more about that?

well, the defense minister you'll have delano has ordered you right, that complete siege of the gaza strip. i heard you speaking to our colleagues in gaza about that just a short while ago. already there are having to ration things are already shortages all the stuff, but the defense minister has said that he's now ordered a complete sage on the gaza strip. they'll be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything will be closed. and he says, you quoted in local media is saying we're fighting human animals and we're acting accordingly. so strong was there from the defense mid us to israel, really reading itself for very, very serious, fast. so here we've also heard, however, the idea of have confirmed that they have cleared the communities around the gauze and border. they were still, they still had come last militants in them until a short while ago the mother, she said they're still scouring the area and looking for other militants, but the,

the active fighting areas has been cleared at this stage. rebecca river is joining us from southern israel. thank you. and as we've heard the most militants abducted dozens of people during their incursion, they were mainly as rarely as, but also included a number of 4 nationals, women, children, the elderly. or you'll need a shirt is living a nightmare. his wife and 2 young daughters are among those kidnapped by him. mazda 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 kibbutz near gaza when palestinian militants searched across these really border on saturday during the morning. ready the 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 the dis

family. it's not simple to know that to your 2 babies and your wife and your 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 with 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 spiders walls. her partner is marched away by attackers, his hands tied behind his back. the couple had been attending a music festival in the desert and both are still missing. the people were dying, and this woman tells bbc she hid in the citrus grove. when the government opened fire on the revellers the road. and they were just all around me and they were going 3 by 3 and shooting anywhere from 2 sides. and

there's so many people like people who are dying like all around or she was lucky to make it out of the desert party a lights, as were these revellers visibly exhausted, but relieved to be reunited with loved ones. hundreds of party goers are among the kidnapped killed. i'm missing an israel shiny luke. a german citizen was adopted at the rave, or the money to her mother is still holding out hope she's alive. my husband said 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 to thank you. intel of these parents of abducted is 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. and we're going to get more on the hoss that situation. we're just waiting to speak with an idea of spokesperson. we will do that in a short while. in the meantime, we're getting some big picture analysis from know me by a cough. she is a middle east advisor at the policy institute. chatham house, welcome to the program and thank you for joining us. now if we look at this attack, it clearly caught israel's military and intelligence apparatus completely off guard who's to blame for this failure and intelligence. i don't think this is a time to discuss who is to blame for the failure. i think this is a time to work out how to ensure that there isn't going to be a 2nd failure or any further thing is undoubtedly going to be a very high level of very serious investigation into the thing is as soon as the

situation said, some of the stabilizes, but i think there's a consensus in israel not discussing who is to blame the amendment isn't shouldn't really be the folks this was such an unprecedented incursion. how much help to then come off got from outside of gaza. oh i think this is not as liberal ration that i'm awesome. could could it's carried out without external health. around said, meantime today that it had no role in the attacks. what, what do you make of that statement as well? i um, i think that the fingerprints are stuck in the, on the top and they have a very, very strong relationship with them off. and with this, i mean to have missed investments to get this. why don't you, how does it know proxy of iran from us? is they funded and trained to a large extent by iran. and i think that we know that as long as jihad have announced that they have over 30 hostages in the street,

we know that her mazda have discussed we have a now they have 200, which they have just announced full to full is raising hostages. they announced to just be to is really a tax on gaza. i'm just quoting, want to come off, it stays us. and it said israel does not verify this placement training. have announced it in words. i'm also, i think, to answer your question whether this was a mazda known authoration. one has 2 funds come off to train some off where they get the arms from. certainly some uranium those and, and the united states and others have warned regional players like around and has bola not to take advantage of the situation. and i'm wondering how high you see the risk of further escalation originally. uh huh. well that's a very good question. so i think it is we haven't divided into so to show 10 region

10 long term, i think short term and it's not the, it's got nothing to escalate massively in the region in immune and seen things that have coming days because i think i'm a lot of things because the law so i guess you're honest, but i'm not going to take the risk of it before it is really incursion with american support in terms of uh, arms and um, i think we need to just unpack this. i think it's the risk of the regional which is high in the medium long term, but not in imminent. how is there a way to see how things unravel and gauze with us? i think they'll be the weight of these really all me to basically in the district and then see how things come out. i don't think they will be in a rush to and bates from the know what the, the, the range and outputs forces is meeting the heads of his beloved, smaller today. and i don't generally,

they will be in the bathroom and the best place to answer your question. let me, let's talk a little bit more about what indeed comes next in gaza because israel says that it wants to destroy him off. how realistic is that a, what could it mean for the current status quote and gaza? how it governs and also the wider region as they know, saying they want to destroy, come off this thing very clearly that the aging they would like to destroy a moss is a military capabilities or of them and governing capabilities. but they have full control and the and made it very, very clear israel that they do not intend to occupy the strip um and the government 2200000 palestinian team. so the question is, how are they going to do it to make some questions and easy on this, but clearly they will focus on military targets and on what is available is

targeted assassinations of already of the senior military action on the full mouth . and then the idea would be to eventually be able to have a policy and, and 2 of us that isabel can negotiate peace with. and the question is, this is clearly a, this clearly has to be resolved. thank you. sure. so like, why would you like me to bother you on a policy with the child, the bunk city and also all righty and how they will result their relationship with come up. okay, thank you so much. know me by you all. cough with try them house. we appreciate it . thanks. and we are joined now by spokesperson for the israeli military, marcia nicholson. thank you so much for joining us. i. i'd like to just quickly ask you for your comment on something that is just crossed our wires here. i'm also saying that for israel is held in gaza, i have been told and is rarely strikes since sunday. can you confirm that

i cannot and from that that is very serious. the claims of the idea will look into them. but as of now we have no information for me that helps us are known to spread state information. oh yes. excuse me. um uh yeah, thank you. thank you very much for for that statement. um, i'd like to ask you also about the security situation with an israel right now. the is really, are me also saying that it's the re establish control of the communities in southern israel near garza, but that there still might be terrace in the area. how big is the threat posed by him aust militants inside of israel at this moment? so if we try to zoom out of this situation saturday, 6 30 am is the time you've seen hundreds of paris in reading. it's really territory on google. and that's what the idea and the security forces have had space. from

there, there has been non stop fighting going on from every point surrounding the garbage strip. and right now we have gain control back. that doesn't mean that all the chair is throw out. it means that if we didn't come through a terrorist there singles or really very close and they were met with and repaired a military power that engages with them and kills them. they try to har really, really. and what indications do you have about the number of hostages that from us might be holding have, have you been receiving any information about them? and there will be a i'm not the authority to talk about hostages. what i do know is that the numbers are in the dozens, and the idea has established a situation with the panels that are in charge of checking the situation and then contact the, the police. so we can assess how many are actually in there. and then we can put

the data out, but we will not do so unless, until all the families are informed as numbers. and we've heard the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has vowed to destroy a mazda. and i'm wondering how much the hostage situation complicates that effort. when the senior commanders, the idea presents to the political actual on the security cabinet, the military options are on the table going forward again from us. this situation is taken into account the idea of the army of a state of georgia state that has always valued human life. and we hope you're going to live secret as we always did. we will do everything in our power to try and solve the situation with as little hostages killed as far as on. not on that note um, when we book the un, for example, saying that more than 120000 palestinians had been displaced in gaza since the fighting began. and that there had been instances of his really air strikes,

targeting buildings without prior notice to the civilian residents who live there. what measures is the military taking to minimize civilian casualties. as israel responds to these attacks is this findings with unprecedented attacks on it? civilians we are looking at numbers and see the biggest amount of jewish people killed in a single day since the end of the whole call we are at war and war takes different measures. then a routine time. you're asking the, the civilians of documents that are done there is to move north to south to move east so that we can strike the military guys to come off as orderly as we can. but we're looking at a terrorist organization there. so going to zation that showed it to face to the world saturday morning and for all these use the whole, the holding the civilians in the got

a script as to and seals and in 20 their terrorist infrastructure within civilian population. they have the military, i'm you, this is storage in maryland control centers. do you think you'd be sanders underground under moss, under kindergarten, under un facilities, to make the job the idea part of what we're facing is nice of innovation. we are and what was that? make them peak with them stay that they've done when we're looking at the as really response we've heard and we've seen images of thousands of soldiers on the southern border now with guys a waiting for the next phase in this more can you confirm that and is rarely ground incursion into gaza is indeed coming. the idea is prepared for any order that will come from the security cabinet. all military option has been presented. spokesperson for these really military motion. nicholson . thank you. thank you.

now in germany, there has been a public show of support for israel, with berlin's brandenburg gate lit in the colors of the as really flag on saturday night. and on sunday, more than 1000 people gathered up the gate in the heart of the german capital to show their solidarity. israel's ambassador to germany, as well as berlin's mayor, have spoken at the event, is just one of several rallies across germany intended to show support for israel. the german foreign ministry has confirmed that there are german is really nationals among the hostages taken by him off. now transfer all off shots, says berlin has increased security at his rarely and jewish institutions with in germany following the attacks. and he said that germany stands firmly by israel's side. nothing beyond that goes to the news that reached us from israel yesterday has shaken us deeply under the site. at least hundreds of us release up in kill caitlin terrace,

fired thousands of rockets from the gaza strip into israel. up to fly up site takes the same time heavily on fighters infiltrated israel. is it indeed wise that one sort of good to enter the houses of innocent civilians find the english goodman at the murdering man, women and children of the guys and the ducting? dozens of hostages into the gaza strip. is the titans and by these are by bardic axis, when 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 hip. and i assured him in light of this terrible attack by the german east on steadfast the by israel's side. and as i take the security of israel is a part of germany's reason to this day. let's just punch it stops because all of that was the german chancellor addressing the her mazda attacks and israel. so i'm going to bring you now some other news coming in from around the world as well.
