it starts october 28th on d, w. the . this is dw, use life from bullying. people in garza fleet at homes as is well, continues each compartment of the territory through the nice thousands of thousands . the said to be shout ringing you when schools others head to a border crossing with egypt is waiting 5 minutes. the benjamin netanyahu says the strikes had just the beginning and the day as well as response to the homeless attack. what would echo? we could see enemies for generation plus the leaders of germany and france of

express the said foster poetry as well. it comes with the state economy, then unusual, vacant to boost the ties between powers and both it the i made visible and welcome these way. the military says it has more or less restored control over its border with gauze it. but it says impulse reasons, by homeless militants could still be possible. it says the bodies of 1500 homeless militants have been found in east by the territory since they staged the unprecedented attack on saturday. is well set up, it's fatality and strikes on gauze overnight. a spokesman for the guest by the military advice to any gauze and good to flee. alma said that if israel had any residential building without warning, then it would start executing used by the hostages and bo cost at live on tv. it

will have more than that in a moment, but 1st a round up of events sofa is really tanks, gathering fields outside gaza, 2 days after the violent incursion and terrorist attacks by militant groups from us . hundreds of thousands of is really army reserve is type reported for duty. i don't know what the name we are imposing a complete siege on gaza. so it will be no edit tricity, no food, no more to no fuel and everything will be closed. so we are fighting against human animals and we are acting accordingly. hospitals and gaza are already feeling the effects of the blockade and a running out of critical supplies to treat the many injured by the ongoing strikes . well headsets, 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 in the power outage anymore, but medical operations cannot be performed in emergency departments without fuel or

electricity. and the zip is real says it is targeting facilities and headquarters of the hamas and islamic jihad terrors groups. but hundreds of civilians are being hit by the missile offensive across casa israel says the borders with gaza will stay tightly closed, reinforced by tanks while soldiers scour southern is real for home us fighters. but the rock that fire continues into israel. and so it is the burial bombardment of the gaza strip. israel's prime minister says that this is just the beginning of the new that should go down to what's input. so i know that we old once immediate result, one, it won't take time one, i promise you into 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 ma. what we will do to wherever it amazing the coming days will reverberate with them for generation. some adult steering further infiltration by militants is real, is also deploying troops and tanks along its northern border with lebanon. shilling the area as they tried to push back the threat with hes below responding in kind. israel now faces the very real prospect of a multi front war. responded rebecca rate is, is in southern these were close to the boat up with the guns and strip where she's been reporting on a build up of military hardware there in anticipation of a ground offensive from israel on the gaza strip. rebecca, bring us up to date, but do you see to that? well, we just had to move from that area where i spoke to you from before where we would

be able to show you those pictures of the military build up. the military came and actually evacuated. that's perhaps a little bit too much, too strong. a word, but they asked us to leave that area. so we've come here behind me. you, well, you may not be able to see it, but that is gauze that basically on the horizon and usually from this position you can see a lot of times of smoke from the pretty consistent air strikes that have been happening throughout the day and not at the moment we haven't heard any for a little while, but that doesn't mean they're not happening elsewhere in the strip. now we just as we were coming to a, there were some more rockets launched from gaza. that's the 1st that i've seen in this area this morning. but there is still, there is still rockets being launched from that area. we've had no reports of any casualties in israel, or any injuries or any land full of rockets this morning. how are people coping with the escalation in the area?

i mean there's a blockade. there's the, there are ongoing attacks from both sides, i believe. and there's also this anticipation, this build up event is a patient of a possible ground offensive as well. the blockade is happening on the other side of where i'm standing and i can't speak to it, but i have been in touch with colleagues on the other side and other contact. so they tell me that things are getting more and more dire because of the blockade. this is a cause or it has been in your honor a blockade of a different sort for many years. and they're already, uh, they already are, have low stokes on, on many things we have medical supplies will start running out. and of course, perhaps food soon. 2 things are really short even want to and obviously there is very limited, even any electricity going into the gauze or at the moment as well. so things for civilians not only who at the diet situation with the, the,

the strikes but also having sufficed food shortages, water shortages, electricity shortages, you know, they can not able to charge. so, you know, i'm assuming that people will run out of battery power and they'll be able to charge things. so don't be able to keep informed. it's a really dire situation for people that and i'll put people on this side. it's also a very tense situation. it's like a ghost town, not just here in the south where i have my own reports across the country. i haven't been to any supermarkets myself. we have been too busy, but i'm told that the, the stuff, the stocks on the shelves are running out as people kind of panic fires. they worry about what might be coming ahead. people on the side who i used to saying rockets coming over the border, who i normally pretty relaxed about it. if i'm to be on us, you know, i've been down here before and reported. and when there has been other smaller conflicts and you know you've, you've helped her residence and i may say, well, that's life. but it's not quite the same feeling at the moment. people really

preparing for something a lot bigger. and that's what we're hearing from the military that we can be expecting something that will be what vehicle like a paradigm shift of course is conflict. these are ready to take the reporting of the numbers you've been talking about. the build up that we've heard about the historic number of reservists being cold up, give us more idea of what we could expect from a ground operation. having been there with that military hardware is being set up. or it's hard for me to say, obviously the military are not getting any information about the next steps. we were hearing very strong language by some the prime minister and also from then down to the military. even speak to us and i told brief thoughts on what's happening, but then don't giving us any exact information as you can imagine. but they do say things like, you know, use your imagination. i mean, it's language like this that you think utilize what could be happening we've,

we've, you know, we're showing you before. i don't know if you've got any of those pictures to show . but the kind of truth build up of, of the hardware build up that we're seeing along the border and i'm told, but it's happening all along the gallons of water. where in the, the northern part of the northern top that leads up to northern cities like asked on ash cologne at the very top of the gaza strip. but of course, this will be happening all along the length of the strip. and it's certainly, you know, i mean, it certainly look, st looks and feels like whatever the next movies it is going to be very big. rebecca rid is reporting for us from southern israel. thank you very much. and still to come, the leaders of germany and france, chancellor, will actual tends president a manuel mccaul have been meeting for a 2nd day and he's conference is expected to stop shortly. the federal talks are

about improving german french relations, which have been off track for months due to policy differences. but the is bailey, how much conflict is likely to have dominated their meeting. of course, both leaders have already expressed some solidarity with israel in a joint statement with the u. s. u k and italy dw, especially advocate now is in handbook, be hello, how is the guys across as affecting the drawing thing as well as you mentioned, we did see that doing statement that and last night that was that phone call that included the us presence. so for once he called europe and spoke to both the german chancellor and the french president. also the tell you in prime minister, of course, the precious one. and in that statement, reiterates the unwavering support from all of these countries. also from europe, we sold off sold the statement on the 1st day reiterates that it is germany's

reason of states quoting under the microphone 2008, to secure the security of israel. we do know that the united states is already sending military a hardware. i'm in this in the europeans have as far as we know, not been requested a to send anything like that. but europe is standing ready and is being very fun also towards those countries hostile towards israel, as it says in the statement, not to exploit this particular situation. but no. so the iran was not explicitly mentioned in that. michelle, what kind of support of the latest pledging ad to israel besides what you've already mentioned, as far as the differences, go in what they place as well. and we

haven't heard any hod websites as yet. i think this will depend largely on the is radius. what their expectation is, but what we already have here in germany, but also across europe, is a vibrant debate over how much assistance palestinians should still be receiving in terms of humanitarian assistance. germany has halted its payments, its reviewing its future policies. the you initially said if would do the same and hold payments, but now there is an internal debate going on, which is also showing wrist within the european union on what approach to take towards stability in the region. and, and this is something that will also be discussed in brussels as the foreign ministers of the european union beating the today. so we expect more assurances, more guarantees of security and adult will depend on what israel actually request

from european countries. okay, and tell us more about the troubles that are being facing german french relations of like as well to put it briefly um the chemistry between germany and france, particularly between germantown, so order sold and the french president, amount of them a co, cynthia, hasn't been there so far, and that's also why for the very 1st time, these joints and consultations at the joint cabinets actually became a bit of a political retreats of with both sides, staying overnight to you in this humbug hotel behind me. they also went on various boats in various groupings to discuss lots of issues. and one key issue is um, both sides, suspecting each other, as of paying a, giving too many subsidies to their own industry in terms of energy prices. but the key funds is allowing for an industrial discount. that is the debate here in

germany, where the germany would do something similar. and there are also 2 very different approaches to getting more sovereignty, both in security times, but also in making the e u. a more politically independent entity in the future that a germany particular defense has initiated something called the sky sealed. and fonts didn't sign up to that because france doesn't want to see the europeans are lying on hardware, in terms of a military hardware from the americans. and these are at least their jeremy's just signed. the agreement, fonts insisted wants to develop its own capabilities together with europe and partners. there's also 2 of a developing and their own tank with the germans. the germans are bit slow at us from the perspective of funds. so there's a lot of nitty gritty details, but they will feed back to both seeing the same time engines,

but often having the metrically opposed approaches on how to tackle them. and the reason the keeps referring back to the franco german engine is because these countries of very important, but also because of the difference is these to paris and berlin can find common ground. that's a has in the past, pretty much, always been a guarantor that the you, as a whole 27 member states can find compromise, you know, as, as they are from dw is making how that goes. no, thank you very much. and let's get back to the situation on the ground in the middle east journalist hashim lucia is in gaza. i asked him about the conditions for people that considering the bombings and intensive funds. ok, well it's um, continue this area compartment. as you get hung goods or thousands of fair strikes all the time.
