people in shocked on saturday morning palestinian fighters from gaza undetected, entered the country and went on a killing spree. more than $900.00 lives lost on monday is real or did a complete seas of gauze? nothing going in, nothing going out. israel may have the terrors trapped inside. yes. but how do you take aim? when a 150 is really hostages could easily be standing in the line of fire. i burned golf in berlin. this is the day i of the by far the news randy used to be ruthless terrorist guns down in a sec is very convenient during the streets murdering any thing that must chicago . what's happened today has never been seen before in israel,

and i will make sure that it does not happen again. a high value of type rather than the system that we already know for our home. and we, we, we, in this case is rose 911. this is, this rose 911 also in our coverage this half hour, the sound of a massacre. 250 people, gone down by her mazda militants. and a music festival in southern israel. the. and they were just only around me and they were going 3 by 3 and shooting edward, which of our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today as israel goes to war and counts it's dead. israel has declared a state of war against the palestinian militant group of moss on saturday last

fighters defied all detection and crossed from gauze into israel. and then began chile, the death toll from saturday continues to climb. now over 900 heres prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier tonight, a new that should go down to what's input. so i know that we all once immediate result, one, it won't take time. one, i promise you years riley citizens. at the end of this campaign, all of our enemies will know that it was a grave mistake to attack these royal my corporate. this. what we will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate with them for generation. some adults are not since the founding of is really 1948 have so many people on is really territory been killed in a single day. an unprecedented loss of life that was not supposed to happen tonight in their shock and sorrow is rarely there also asking how did, how mos,

how did they know what's it's, how did the terrorist catch an entire country off guard? our coverage takes us tonight to the front why it's is really tanks gathered in fields outside gaza, after the vine into cogent and terrorist attacks by minutes into group thomas, hundreds of thousands of israeli army reservists onto the quote. i don't know what the limit we are imposing a complete siege on gaza, so it will be no edit tricity, no food, no more tonight, fuel everything will be closed. so we are fighting against human animals and we are acting accordingly. hospitals in casa, already feeding the effects of the brocade running out to critical supplies to treat the many injured by the ongoing strikes the headset fluid. and unfortunately, the amount of medical supplies we need to deal with these injuries is insufficient . that just isn't enough. and some of the medicines are not available in the stores

of the ministry of health and reform. there's also the threat of running at the fuel into power outage. medical operations can not be performed in emergency departments without fuel or electricity, and the zip is mile say, is it just targeting facilities and headquarters of how much? and you had terrorist groups, but hundreds of civilians are being hit by the massage defensive across gaza. the chemical charitable i was in my house with my children. i was sleeping in the morning, so came to me. so i was like right in the, followed on how we were hit sparkle box. and the children were fleeing. some people we interviewed and others made monsters by the forwarding were both. we fled to the schools. my daughter was hitting the had time job, i'll have to do that is while say's the board is with gods and we'll stay tight to be closed, reinforced by tanks law. so just scott with the south side to look at fire

continues into israel. and so does the aerial bombardment of the gaza strip saving further infiltration by militants, as well as pulse or deploying troops and tanks along its northern border river 11 on shelving the area. as i try to push back the sweat has belonged to being his body. in kind is vile, now faces the very real prospect of a multi fun tool. and the rest of the world can only watch and hope that that doesn't happen. of our correspondence. rebecca rivers is she is at the border with guns. uh sorry. so was just uh, being in touch with the military were gonna have to leave this area. but just uh, before we do, i can tell you that the strikes ends. you guys have been continuing pretty much

relentlessly through the afternoon. we've been hearing them. the border is about a kilometers away. we're just north of the golf and buddha you can see behind me, there are tanks and lots of men cussing now. military personnel amassing here they've been doing some drills carrying out drills and practices, practicing maneuvers, old. we believe this is happening all along the 1000 border. there have been reports in some american media saying that the americans believe that israel preparing for ground invasion, but we don't have any confirmation. somebody is writing miller trade. they're not giving anything away on that. they're still preparing, but from what we can see here around us, it certainly looks like they are preparing for us some relatively large offensive in the coming days. uh, we have been seeing rocket fire overhead. and just before we came on it, there were a few more rockets coming from gauze the direction and just trying to that we so

the on don't him activated as well. so it's things are really hating up down here and certainly not, not coming down. suddenly wrapping up the reality 0, the ground that was, are very young. rebecca rid is reporting earlier near the is really gosh, a border, the mazda attack over the weekend. it has drawn outrage from around the world, but israel's massive retaliation with its aerial bombardment of gaza and threats of a complete siege, as also cause for concern. this is what united nations chief antonio gutierrez should said earlier today. i recognize the legitimate grievances of the palestinian people, us but nothing can justify these acts of terror and the killing may mean a deduction of civilians. while i recognize you as well as legitimate security concerns. i also do you mind israel, that's community operations must be called back to the instinct, the card business with the international humanitarian law. i'm deeply distressed by

today's announcement that is really initiates a complete siege of the gods was 3, not single log in. no electricity, foods, or fuel when the united states as meanwhile pledged rock solid support for israel dw sonya abraham has more now from washington. well, the united states, as certainly as should the rest of the world, very concerned about the possibility of this conflict spiraling and miss metastasize in, in the entire region. and we know that the, the secretary state has said that the, the dividing administration has reached out to players in the region, directly or indirectly, asking them not to take advantage of this particular conflict. be that sections in the west bank in lebanon, or in, huron, of course the united states would not directly reach out to iran, but that probably happen through some kind of a mediation. the united states is unequivocally on the side of israel. and there's

no doubt that divided administration is with israel's right to protect itself. it's also a quote from the administration here. they've moved a number of ships and a and equipment into the eastern mediterranean, a no doubt in the move to deter some of those actors that we talked about in that case it would be around. but with that being said, a secretary of state anthony blinking has said that there is no evidence to suggest that e, ron is behind this coordinated terrorist attack on it's really a civilians. but the united states is secretary blinking has, has, has also made that comparison, that what we seen recently is, is that is like what happened and 1973 in the human support war. but he did point out that the difference between the 73 war which was a, which was a conventional war with military,

that this particular war was instigated by acts of terror. you know, sign back is one of germany's lead the fourties on terrorism and geo politics. especially as long as tear in the middle east. he has worked as an adviser on terrorism right here in berlin at the chancellor's office. he's here at the table with me this evening. it's good to have you back here. you know, we've heard from is really officials that this attack was israel's 911 in pearl harbor. all in one. we're still trying to get our heads around this. how did is really intelligence not see this attack coming? look at 911. look at pearl harbor, and you will find complacency, arrogance, callousness. and i think these are the main reasons, although i wouldn't be too harsh on the intelligence services. uh, mazda is a professional organization. very audiological guys who can keep the secret. so

do you have you have to expect that even the best intelligence services don't find out everything about bodies going on and the goddess gaza strip? what i don't understand is why there was no army. i always thought that that was a food division protecting the border between israel and gaza, but i didn't see them. they weren't there. and so i think that the army leadership and the political leadership, they are the ones to be made responsible of to everything has had us down. and the last time we felt is real suffer. this kind of loss of life on is really territory . and one day was back in 1948. i mean this is, this is new territory. go go down the list if you would with me of what has to be israel's top priority right now, considering what has happened when 1st to make sure that this doesn't happen again

. and i think it won't happen again in a long time because something was terribly wrong in in theirs is any body politic in the army leadership and perhaps in one or 2 of the, of the intelligence services. besides that, it is, it is very hard to tell. i will, i would say that it's paramount to bring the hostages back home. the net on yahoo government seems to have decided that it's more important to invite the gaza strip end the end, the rules of the how much terrorist organizational, but it's a conflict. it's, it's, it's a terrible conflict. i wouldn't want to have to take this decision, but i think the decision has been taken by, by the government. and by 5 that has really political lead in general. you know, we're talking about a total blockade of gaza this this siege because of the run up to

a ground invasion. we also have is really hostages of to talking about who we assume they are inside the gauze. and then we're taking at an outdoor music festival where lots of gun been killed as many as 250 people. we want to show you this report now about that music festival. and we want to warn you, some of these images may be disturbing. the terror at a rate from the desert. how most terrorist opened fire on the crowds and chase people down. taking hostages. one woman said she hid in a centers grove to stay alive for me. 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 the world. this video shows a terrified young woman driven away on

a motorbike by fighters. the while her partner is marched away because of his hands tied behind his back. to the aftermath. hundreds of dead bodies charge vehicles along the road. a few were lucky. this footage purportedly shows a hostage rescue is rarely forces freeing people after a fierce gun battle with him. us foreign nationals were also taken. one hostages mother made an appeal from germany. 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 the diplomatic efforts are underway to a range or humanitarian quarter to evacuate women children and elderly hostages.

but for now, relatives can only watch and wait. we were talking about hostages here, you know, i think the last time it is really soldier was taken hostage. i was looking at the numbers here. it took 5 years of negotiations, the release of more than a 1000 palestinian prisoners, just to get one is really soldier. back. we're talking about a 150 is really citizens. now you do the math. i mean, how do you get these people back safely? yeah, well and then there is something missing in this calculation last time it took, these varies uh, and the germans and the tardies and all those who mediated 6 years to get get actually back and back home. and we had, we had other cases in the past where the ratio was, was somewhat somewhat similar. i think there is hardly any chance for

negotiations to and this, and this hostage crisis soon. especially now because there is this conflict, you know, the government wants to show strength. it wants to show it's a, it's ability to decisively be time us at the same time, i would like to free the, the, the hostages. i think that's impossible. and with everything i've heard today from, for example, the official armies speaker, i don't think i don't expect that all of these hostages will come back. how do you think so that the, the calls that we're hearing from across the political spectrum for israel to annihilate from us in gaza? that is more likely to happen then, making sure that these hostages come back all the live safe and sound? yes, absolutely. but at the same time, i think that these really army and perhaps some friends will try to get as many

hostages out of the gaza strip before or during the operations. and i think that's part of the reason why the, the, is there any ended up last so long? i think that the government and then to be for the roseland wants to make sure that every chance to re, uh, to, to, to free at least some of the hostages. yeah. is, is being take home us must've known that this attack would generate the kind of reaction that we're seeing now. so what, what, but what's the in game then for a moss, i mean they know that they're about to face the fury of the military while it's mainly because of civilians who are the brunt of the attacks. and i think that the, the time us is arrogant as well. and that they, they simply rely on the 40000, perhaps 50000 fighters, including hispanic jihad,

to beat back these rarely. so at the same time, they hope that other allies in the region perhaps might intervene. i listen very closely to what the military head of the cosigned brigade said on saturday. he addressed the stomach republic. i'll see ron, who addressed 11 on and friends in iraq and syria, and jim and, and, and called follow the solidarity. he was very careful. it was not really a, a call for help. but i think that is what, what time us, once it wants to, uh, it wants his baseball uh, to intervene in this coming war from, from the north and bought it. adding to the complexity here. we've got these really army. it's also hit targets in southern lebanon. are these really military saying that they've been shot? several armed militants are seeing right here who had tried to infiltrate israel across the lebanese border. the she knows the group has, the law says that it was not involved in that incident,

but has the look the certainly new friend of israel, me what's the danger of has bought coming into this and been having a 2 front more well, so 1st i think that his by law doesn't want to intervene, they have made this clear. they, they attacked is rarely targets. but in a very live, in a very limited limited way. why wouldn't they want to enjoy and get his thoughts simply because of the experience of the 20064, when his by law kidnapped hostages. just like just like now, but i'm only 2 or 3 dead soldiers. they kidnapped them and then were attacked by, by these were, at least in a way that threatened the very existence of the organization and destroyed major parts of the south lebanon. the organization probably probably doesn't want to risk this because of how most authoration that they are not, not a, not a part of me,

but at the same time, these varies have already attacked today. and so the 11 on, you know, they try to hit. so i make jihad targets present there, but they queued hezbollah fighters. that's at least what 11 these media report. so there is a certain danger off an escalation that is not wanted by israel, which doesn't one to 2 front war and not by his by law, which i think doesn't want this war right now. does this attack that we saw this weekend? does it have uranium fingerprints on a little bit? it's very until now we don't know anything about iranian and encouragement, but the do know that you, ron knew about the attack before head simply because he's by his, by light 11 on knew about it in the spa, is, is a part of the, as, let's say, iranian orbit. yeah, at the same time, the high mas massages are iranian midsize. how much training is iranian

training? how mas financing is partly iranian. so there are iranian fingerprints all over, you know, at the same time, there is no proof as yet that iran is, is a part of this that iran decided or in any way influenced. hum us to attack israel in this way. but i believe as soon as evidence is presented, okay, then we might see a major conflagration. and that is probably why the, the american aircraft carriers now moving towards the eastern mediterranean let's talk a little bit about money. we've had a little bit of confusion tonight of europe and union earlier today said that they were going to stop on payments of development age to the palestinian territories. and they said no, they are going to continue those payments of tonight. i asked the member of the the

bonus tag and member of the 4 and various committee ralph stegner, what he makes in this take listen to what he said. but i think it's very. busy there we don't finance anything events as miss used for supporting terrorist attacks on the other hand, human hearing aids has been given for good reasons. as long as it's only human to. ready and age, i think we should not completely give that up. let's 1st and then the moment i think that's the important thing to do after this very cruel attack. terrorist attack doesn't really make sure that no money can be abused to support a term or a structures or anti semitism or into is right sentiments or whatever for you to the that's the official line. there is what it sounds like. we know that thomas controls the gaza strip. if you're getting anything inside to the people,

it's going to be filtered by how boss doesn't that you're being, you know, that, i mean, how can they be sure that the money that they're sending for humanitarian purposes is going to be used for humanitarian purposes they, they come through sure, and that's, that's part of the problem at the same time. it's very important now to differentiate between the hamas and the goal is a population. that is the c a, according to my reading is not a war mister netanyahu might want to defy. but it's a terrorist organization that has perpetrated a terrorist attack. and it's a minority and the causes us. but we have seen demonstrations against thomasville, a rule in, in, in recent months. we don't know exactly how big the popular phase of how mouse is. and we should differentiate and if there is any suffering that we kinda leave it by

sending the most basic human new terry and aid, i think we should stick to it if and if only just to make sure that we don't see this as a war against the palestinians, but that it's a war or it's of war that it's a fight against the against the tires organization. how much you let's, let's hope that um cool heads will prevail through this kiddo. as always, we appreciate you coming to the studio. appreciate your excellent analysis. thank or was around europe there been shows that solidarity for israel in the wake of the attack. thousands marched in paris to show their support. people gather on the cities talking to arrow square near the famous eiffel tower. the sheldon is real and free. the hostages across the channel crowds gathered outside the building street. many carried sign saying i stand with israel within 10 britons. our feet

are dead or missing. it is real and supporters made outside these really embassy and brussels. the voice of their support, they observed a minute of silence and tribute to the victims and they sang these really national and the for the day is almost done. the conversation continues online. you'll find this on twitter either. in the w news, you could probably be a brent got tv and remember what ever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll leave you now with the eiffel tower in paris and lit up with these really flags in a show of solidarity. see tomorrow the
