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 saves. you can see the tags of personnel, terriers and 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 there in israel for us along the southern border. thank you and cut out is reported to be leading talks to secure the release of dozens of as well as abducted by him aust militants on saturday. reuters news agency says that the mediators are negotiating the freedom of a number of as rarely women and children in exchange for 36 palestinian women and children, allegedly health and israeli jails. some of those taken hostage by him oss were at an outdoor music festival in the south of the country. hundreds of bodies were
