a journalist based and gaza. here's what he told me about the situation. there was a vendor on government a all the time since day one as well. so the uh to uh, to meet and to call him back and ask tweaks. so they would get a show building a blue shield. um as a heart uh, excuse me. um if it where it is, there is the bottom end. and then history port shop. i can see in the street some people are carrying small back backs or their 10 bags and, and leaving their places. and from some of them to go to the on the schools taking it as a show to someone like this place and going to some of the kids where they think that it's safe here at the state. um um no i look to us

a key mostly 2 hours or maybe one hour a day. some people didn't. ready leave it for more than their t i words and when it's just city, which i think that that's, that's the other aspects like water supply and then other things. and then with the account of the internet and. ready areas they have known jeanette because the lines are tough or because back of electricity we are here in some reports that they use really defense forces are refusing to let even food into gaza. first of all, are you hearing anything about that and is this now a seed or are you prepared for that as well? delta is under siege for more than 50 years at all. the goods that used to come together on a very limited for a long time. i'm not sure there's no official number on that, but how far goes i can cancel why we've got available goods and already very

shortages. then there is shortage of with your and shortage of food because farmers are not able to go to their farm to hong this. there is some, some stuff available on the market at very small number of stores are open and easily some areas, but even the price is where. ready is bob because of, of, of. ready mix it all of that, but it's, it's not easy and the decal stuff. and then mr. tell talking about shortages of medical supplies as well as we are see thousands of injuries to see and arrives to the hosp. ready to the injuries from the bump on me as in pollution, giving us a sense of what you're seeing in in the round garza. thank you. and let's get the view from israel now. we're corresponding rebecca rivers joins us from the southern is rarely border. rebecca, what is the situation where you are

a sarah? the is rarely village. we are currently conducting a wide scale strike on gaza. from here you can see pots of for over the board of the that's the northern todd of gauze. the an area around the state head noun, or you can see the smoke rising. we've been hearing pretty tungsten air strikes. someone's hillary as well, but pretty loud, pretty constant bombardment from the sky have mass spokes person a little while ago said that for is riley hostages. were killed by is riley strikes, but it's almost impossible to verify that information at the moment. but if true, you know, that's something that is really military. i gotta have to take into account. now the sirens has been sounding around the country mainly in the center of the country . a little earlier. a badge of rockets were fired here. many of the above, above, above us really we had to take cover flying overhead where we were standing. a few

have made impact, one actually made it to the new the airport. i don't have any information as to whether the airport is closed, but i believe it hasn't already that it will be it made impact not in the airport. exactly, but media airport and we've had to all the direct tapes in cities. nicky, one and ash dog, another in ash cologne. the not too far up the road he injuries have been reported there at least 3 people were injured in those attacks at 2 seriously. we don't have any more information on those at the moment, but we have some videos circulating from those strikes showing cause on fire. pretty serious and strong kids are right direct hit. i just as we were coming to a coming on to sarah, the air sirens were going off in northern living on i don't have any more information on that at the moment, but if that information is accurate, it could mean the activity is picking it again up from the northern border from 11

on the death toll on both sides, it has been rising. i won't give you any numbers because it looks set to continue to rise quite drastically today, particularly on the guards inside, but they is riley side. it's also raising as the miller tree go through these towns and cities and discover more bodies. and, and rebecca, israel has announced this, refer to full scale siege on, on the gaza strip of, you know, we saw earlier the tanks that were passing behind you as you were speaking with us . what more can you tell us about what's going on on the ground right now? well, yeah, i know one of the point there is out we've been seeing over night in this morning a quite a large military build up personnel and hardware here along the border. and we're not, of course, entirely sure what's happening in the military have not said that they're going to start a ground invasion at this stage. there's nothing official on that front, but from what we're seeing here, it certainly looks like they preparing for what could be

a very big offense if you can see the tags of personnel terriers and the other equipment being taken closer to the border. so the situation on the ground is certainly not de escalate to you. in fact quite the opposite. dw is rebecca rivers, they're in israel for us along the southern border. thank you. and as we've heard, the most militants abducted thousands of people during their and persian they were mainly as rarely as but also included a number of 4 nationals and also women children of the elderly uni. asher is living a nightmare. his wife and 2 young daughters are among those kidnapped by her mice 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 at a que puts near gaza when palestinian militants searched across these really border

on saturday during the morning. the. ready 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 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 will, will happen. and some of my country is way in 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 there were just all around me and they were going 3 by 3 and shooting anywhere from 2 sides and a so many people like people were 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 abducted at the rave, or the more 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 soon. thank you. intel of the 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. and joining me now is shiny, was honest, dw middle east analyst here in the studio with us and, and johnny, i mean those images are just so shocking, you know, including children being dragged by this militant group come off into gaza. you are from israel, your answer in close contact with with family and your contacts there. what are you hearing? what are these families going to complete shock? people are devastated. people are hurting people are completely confused. many of the few of us being left alone to defend for themselves, either literally on the front lines in the southern part of israel. but, you know, as many other parts of israel are, are those concept drunkards a shot at israel,

people are going in and out of their safe rooms. there shelters, of course, no routine. nose, no schedule. you know, scheduled events, nothing is happening. the government is quite newt, they don't hear nothing else coming out. they don't have the ministers coming out and it's mostly civil society and private and took the doors and initiative that kind of try to step in and fill in. what like, great need that is out there. i'd like to ask you a little bit more about the situation with the hospice is specifically because, i mean, i think this is really what you know, the whole situation. so shocking, but this is really what it is grabbing people's attention. what is the dimension, of course. so incredible. um, what do you think might be being done behind the scenes to try and, and get these hostages? the least especially given that you know, we're not seeing error strikes on god. of course a little official is no direct talks within mos in israel. they are back channels

either running through egypt or carter, trying to reach the spring to the release of the children. the elderly, the women, and we're not sure how far advanced they are. these are very 6, it talks is what is very limited in its options. any ground operation into gaza into the densely populated gaza strip is infinity dangerous operation, especially on any given day. israel has been trying to avoid it so many years, but at this point when we are seeing is really trust in its own intelligence completely a road it, you know, it's taking such a choice and coming by foot into gaza. where are those hostages, where they kept where those tunnels? this is palestinian ground. there's very little that these really is knowing they have very limited options and how to bring these hospitalized out. now this is the biggest acid, tomas has. can you give us a sense of, of, of, you know, the feeling right now and is really society just how much the confidence of shaken?

yes, it's um, i think there's a lot of, you know, we have several phases of morning and the shock is still there. it's going to be growing because now that is really military of a declared has taken control of all over this of the, of the land. we will see the numbers rising cause they will finally be able to collect all the bodies will link that advertised and decimal will be arising. and with the shock the horde pay in the anger a lot of feeling of helplessness and, and a lot of the things that are going to be directed at the government. eventually, i'm not sure this is where people are right now. they're still in the survival mode . people still need to make sure that their kids at this is sitting within the shelter for many hours, are surviving that they're feeling safe and secure, that they of themselves feel safe and secure. there's a lot of the immediate need for a soft preserve and self care, but once this is over, i'm sure we will see more more of the rage of it being expressed outside and loud. and we are approaching a long time with

a lot of instability and we'll see where it takes us. real dw shiny was on our side, as we mentioned, yours really giving us a sense of, of, of what you are hearing from people inside the country and a little bit of how this is impacting the society there. thank you. thank you. so now i'd like to bring in the former head of the as rarely national security council retired major general, your island. thank you so much for your time. and for joining us here on dw news, i'd like to begin with the dozens of hostages. but we used to still be held by him aust militants. you have laid out a plan to get them out of live. tell us a little bit more about that. as of we have to be on the safe. it's cause, wait, wait, uh, we goods of the, to the main, the visible sofas, the, these literally the size of the collapse of the why is the easily the just the,

the us be the, is there is some kind of a human the, the just wind noise in the same way, be able to give me the 2nd thing the very of the wheels, the wrong guys are we believe that the was the say all those. so present a mess the version. so is this 2 methods actually last along south of the ways the closer to the best of the way. so we are all the casualties older and more than 2 thousands the many also the cube of the civilians and time. fabulous. well, the middle of the homes of the, in the cost me fully managed to leave for the houses it to this to see

it. so we might have some people to use from there all goes something, but we never really right now if we ok, so this moment it and of course i'm not do these literally government so yeah. so did you use and i don't know exactly what would be the exact the actions, but it least split things like is a, in the way the, uh, is the concern for those. the address is new uh, ultimately presented in the, in the conversations. people need this is clear that the, this is the mean use of the slate is really the man of the cause to visit the is literally hostages. at least all the civilians, the, and make sure on the retired major general since i'm so sorry. i just want to

quickly ask you because, you know, one of the things that i really want to ask you about is this plan that you came out with. and this is with regard to the, the hostages most immediately you've said that if we ever want to see the hostages alive the only way is to create a severe humanitarian crisis in gaza. you know, the un says that cause is already facing a chronic humanitarian crisis. and i'm just wondering, is how is making the situation worse, possibly going to resolve the situation? and it is the reality simply that is real doesn't really have many good options now does it? so the problem is because of the 6 of the kind of tests and because we long to try to say those between cuz there the question is why all the options. there is literally spaces and the we have to understand whenever we speak of all come us is,

i know that his vision is with him and he's leading to doesn't mean capital d s, d 5. so in the better say, 17 years ago, because zillow, some of that was all lilly and even democratically elected by people from guys of the people does uh, a softball thing, visas, uh, does that sound okay? although it still says, you know, it has to be really full and how to use visual any. uh, as i said, the uh purpose. so this is the situation that you guys, uh use a site, but actually both in the role of us, diesel. and when you are in the states all against, and i believe probably surprisingly type in message that we use to be on your mobile name prior to you must take all the necessary measures in order to be a huge input compressor on the other side. and it is not the last 2 bottles of the

installations and even though to from the some kind of the reason, the only way to create oppression or are you talking about around operations on the site? do you think that that's an after the let me let me finish the the yeah, the only way to create the restroom is to close. i would say uh, 10, no. i can only a minute. tell them that drives is all the people actually lead to these scenarios . it is not fair as the title, the, the, let's do some info piece of paper in the slow, i guess these when we have congress retired, maybe general senior point, the only way. yeah, the only way to get some, but all the government of this country is to the situation. my hear your point,

there's a lot of a lot of us, i hear your point there. and i would just like to, to, to ask you and quickly follow up on your point. because, you know, critics might argue that the humanitarian crisis in gaza is what helped paved the way for this militant group come off. which, as you know, is, does designated by some as a terrorist organization, internationally to gain a foothold in gaza in the 1st place. so how, how do you respond to that body respond to that? this is such in the, across the people over because, uh, it is similar to other organizations and the minimum is if you long dice and others that are expiring will buying easily and stuff. really nice bio. the buyer is you, these are 2 q as money as many insurance as possible in this complex the condition of poll denazi's. but you know them very well from the law. and this is the nature

of these people will be in the as i said, those are both invited people because the goal is most of my life is literally the only 17 user. and we've already and a few days to do the movie in the mail that well, this one does have to walk in these way and we have to be in the audience animal, the blood shifts and etc. all these met the way the plot is just to be as possible as, as low as possible was. so the only way to be a situation is to completely pull it out. so this is what i understand, but okay, to easily, just in pounds. the oldest most of the place in the house is the model the with the and will decide to go to the the

only way to do it is but it describes what and what i also need to include in total. suddenly, all the populations, the noise is like the special ed existence of this thing and, but i have no other choice and you have to understand. and it with the i see is very similar to knows all on the list when we also have the simulate, seen to edit is like, all right, so there is a minute, oh, is essential or the spectrum is that there is no other choice. but to find whatever we can, you know that to eliminate the time. unfortunately, we have to leave it there. we have run out of time, but we thank you very much for joining us here on dw news to share that view. retired major general, your island be appreciated. now
