and reform. there's also the threats of running at the fuel into power outage. medical operations can not be performed in emergency departments without fuel or electricity. does that 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 just be very old on boardman of the gaza strip. of israel's prime minister says that this is just the beginning, the i knew that should go down to what's input. so i know that we old once immediate result. one,

pretty consistent thoughts this the strikes going on in the northern part of the gaza strip. there was a law in what we could hear before it. it sounded to from where we're standing. the things had come down a little bit about where we're told that they have been consistently bombing so perhaps other areas in the goals or if that were not able to hear. there was a little earlier, there was a small uh then we've been seeing and read some days, but a barrage of rockets that came over here. but it has been slightly calmer in this area where i'm standing, sarah this morning. i'm a little early. we were reporting from, from somewhere else across the way we've been asked to move, the idea from move this on and these ready military, that is. but over day you can see it very intense, build up of hardware and military personnel, big machines, and to mine, uh and he mind tags that we're hearing. oh, and we're seeing some rockets, rockets are coming in from gallagher now. uh so you know,

these things very much going on here. would you like to show that we're trying to run? and of course rebecca, if you need to take shelter, please do so we will do. yeah. yeah, we don't charge you to say your office. we can't even see them, rebecca, we can see those rockland dreaming through the air, as we've mentioned here to the in your, on the border there with, with does a can you just tell us because, i mean you're, you're, you're quite familiar with this area. you've been reporting there for, for quite a while. as we see these rockets here streaming through the air. how are people coping with the situation, their age? very 10. so what i will just say is what you're, the rockets that you're seeing farming left is the actually the i in durham is rose defense system, firing towards the rockets and the plains are small of all the intersections that you're saying. uh, we cannot hear that the state being any land full and we weren't,

we weren't can use of that for some time for it for a few minutes at least. but people in this area is a very tense situation here, as you can imagine here and uh, you know, i've been saying i have reported down here before and you know, the people here i used to conflicts there used to hearing these real kits. they used to hearing the sirens and, and all the times of the times that i've been down here reporting, you know, when you speak to the locals, they have a sense of, you know, the days on which is a normal part of their lives. you see people riding around them and motorcycles, for example, and, and even looking over the last night, even actually somebody looked over to me and was kind of like, you know, what do we do? this is, this is life. but i can really say that it feels very different. hey, this time people are very worried about what's going to happen is this impending a sense of anticipation to say what is around next move is going to be,

as i mentioned, we're watching the troop bill. that's happened here in the northern part of the border, but that, that, that kind of thing is happening all along the border and it does uh, 10 lin, people to believe that they potentially could be a ground offensive. that's certainly something that's being talked about. we've seen it reported in us press that, that, that the us government are expecting this riley is to go in. but that hasn't been confirmed by the us government or by israel at this stage of the military here. obviously not wanting to give any hints about what the next step is going to be, but as you've heard in that report, you probably just before i came on a prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that it is going to be big. and it is potentially going to be long, so the residents here and of course the residents in gauze are on the other side. also preparing and bracing for the worst. and on the other side, they're already saying some of the was and rebecca, um, you know, it is expected that there will be as ground operation in gaza. um we are expecting

uh israel to move in. there are some indications that being a possibility um, yesterday we saw a number of tanks moving behind you. what are you seeing today? we've seen the build up to that as i was trying to explain before we're seeing yesterday we so uh what, what appeared to be quite a lot of hardware and uh, personnel. and today we are seeing even more in this area alone. i haven't personally pain along the border, but from reports this is happening all across all along the gulf of the guns and border. we have been getting where the old breach points out from the guys. a fence have been sealed and in the area is currently being mind to try and prevent any further from us militant from coming through breaching that border area. but as we see, we see the was that they will be around invasion. it certainly looks like they preparing

for a big offensive use rebecca renters. thank you. and here's a quick look at some other developments the death toll since i'm aust launched its attack on israel on saturday is now over 1600 people more than 900 of them in israel, over 700 reported in gaza. the united nations relief and works agencies says that more than $137000.00 gardens are now taking shelter as un run schools. the us says it has become delivering military equipment and munitions to israel. and the mos run health ministry and gaza has called for the opening of a safe corner door for medical aid, saying that hospitals are running have supplies us. and joining me here in the studio is database, middle east analyst, and is rarely colleague, shawn. it was honest, shiny, we're learning more details basically about this attack on saturday. the horror is growing. the scale is brian, but we're getting

a more complete picture. indeed. i mean, 1st of all, the numbers when 1500 thomas maintenance, at least, probably more like 2000 because there are several hundreds also held by is really security forces. that's unimaginable. the scale of the failure of these really intelligence is being revealed as these numbers are being confirmed. and it's, and that will be the great shock that everybody at, in israel still experiencing, and the brutality to where the images of now being revealed. because now there's a finally access to those towns that were not held in his real control so far that the bern houses the bodies all over the damage to to lot. i mean really complete hor shaking up everybody. ok. there's so many open questions um, but i just want to drill down specifically at the political situation right now and asking because there was much talk about a unity government coming together. is that still now possible?

yes, very much. so this is has, as we were speaking now, there came to an official announcement that the need to know has had a meeting with all of his collision partners. they all agree to the need to extend to governmental for unity government to bring in a centralized government that he's led by the former military chief of staff. 2 of them actually to bring them into the circle of decision making. and only now we will start seeing israel's offensive, actually getting going because there's more, no houses, more knowledge, but there's also a better support. i mean, wider support from that to now as he feels in order to launch what he claims to be unprecedented attack that will change the face of the region. so will you have to be seen what that might mean? how about the hosted situation? we've heard a number of, of numbers through on out there. there are some reports that there are over a 100 hostages, the idea of, so what the spokesperson earlier today, they're using the term dozens correct. what do we know about negotiations to

release them? so what efforts might be under way? well, the government is quoting anything to a 100, a $150.00. the idea of confirmed that he has given a 50 families the announcements. so and they said as, as long as they did not announce personally 12 families that won't be given the final numbers officially, the government of israel says there will be no negotiations, not humanity would come, us not to buy a cotton, not for through age. if not, not to anybody else that the humanitarian need to free those helpless children, uh, elderly. you know, they don't want to be negotiating, negotiating on that. they want to expose the way they see it. how much is the whole part of the world and immoral acts, basically war crimes. and however, the growing pressure from these really public, from the many, many families who are suffering for looking for the relative wanting. and so is one thing certainty, it's not going to be easy to, for these really government to keep them going. and all that is, if the house is,

there's not a problem medic issue that they need to. first, all you have been monitoring is really media quite closely. um, you know, you're also is really are in touch with family and friends back there. and if you could just give us a sense of, of this moment what it is right now for, for as rarely society, what's your impression? there is no way back. you know, people understand it. what happened on october 7th, that saturday morning has changed the face of israel that they use really they're seeing now is never going to be the same. it's as this other than the shock and horror and the sadness. there's a lot of rage slowly surfacing. israel is at the beginning of a very trouble in time. china was on his date of the middle east reporter. thank you so much. of course. now many were killed in an israel, a farming community near the gauze, and border over a 100 bodies were found in the area code books after

a stand off between homos militants. and these really military survivors have been talking about what happened when the militants infiltrated their community. they faced us and escaped at 400 people who witnessed the mastercard berry keyboards near garza in bunk cuz of the constant fire. yes or the must have shown if is there anything you need or can i help you with anything this hold on to ask. yes, giving back my keyboard. the woman says, give me back my mode of friends, the army. let them die in the middle of israel saw the kayla struck on saturday morning. the caps at the moments when they looted kidnapped and ran to meet killed people. anyone who went outside was killed immediately. those to state inside outcomes. so it's screens. things

have to work on them and so forth. they slow to us, execute us. there was so many of them with such heavy weapons. and we were trapped in the bunker microwave, but didn't know what was going on on the side were on the head. what's up least of what's been in what events minimal watched us a david hotel in angle kicked by the dead sea fall from the place they once called home psychologists and emotions, to teams try to distract these people from the atrocities they've experienced, at least for a few moments and at some point we were rescued still under fire. my kids were so brave. we had to cover their eyes because we stepped over bodies on our way out. now we're thinking about how to bury the dead on the beach and a whole families have been wiped out. there are kids who have lost their parents and parents who have lost their children. something in us has been broken and i don't know how we can ever recover from this. volunteers brought these

donations, but no one. so any officials or government representative, they feel neglected. first by the army now by the state, left alone in fear. so they say when you sit in a bunker for 68 hours and block the door with just your hand until it turns blue, you change your hand, you just have a baseball bat. your son tells you if they breach, hit them. so that's not the life i want to live. zillow kind of shining what's but their life lucky. and they must be strong now. for each other. here some more stories making headlines around the world. the driver of a car that rammed into china is consulate in san francisco, has been shot dead by police after a confrontation, china is for ministry, said that the motorists tried to hurt visitors and consul, it staff. police are investigating the incident. voters are going to the polls in

liberia for legislative and presidential elections. former football star george way is seeking a 2nd term and office with a 19 challengers. a runoff boat is likely poverty and wide spread. unemployment are among voters chief concerns. there had been clashes between riot police and protesters at an indigenous march, and that too late and capital santiago, police used water cannon and tear gas the demonstrators through objects at them. the indigenous activists say that agriculture and forestry are increasingly threatening their lands, and the state is failing to protect their rights. let's move on now to afghanistan, where bodies are still being recovered. following saturdays, earthquake near the western city of herat. reliable numbers are hard to come by, but within 2000 depths have been reported. so far. officials believe there are more victims beneath the russell the 6.3 magnitude quick had

a densely populated area and was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks. enough got us then send a gen district. the quick response is a community efforts. together they dig mass graves to battery that together, they come through the rubble. although at this point they're unlikely to find survivors. and to get the same on many homes in these rural parts of afghanistan and the meat of mud bricks making them phone ruble to a possible squeak cash. cack village was instantly flattened on the deck. one, again, i was sitting in our house and young goes for playing, i'm sorry, over that one was on neighbors and one was mind everything. and suddenly the do not smoke and debris hit me from above, like a re, you know,

have folding on us. and we got buried under the sun. i had to go to fedex. my head was her, my daughter was crying, but i just wanted the brothers to take her out. but no one was listening today, but she died and my other daughter was missing the game that were going to fanny. mae nibbled on at one of the few hospitals in the quick hit area, some of the wounded abroad and no more that. so i don't know anything about my mother, my daughter and my son, whether they are dead or alive. performing all these little family members, including my son. most people are under the rubble. survivors now need basic supplies, like shelter, food and medicine. at a time when i've got a stands already facing a humanitarian crisis, a global response has been slow with many countries and organizations reluctant to deal directly with the taliban government. for turning now to the middle east

since saturdays attack, israel has declared war on him. austin vowed to destroy its ability to govern. garza, the militant palestinian is a mr. group is considered a terrorist organization by the you and the us among others. here's more on what i'm off represents of the kansas draped where the israeli defense forces have been striking targets belonging to the militant islam. is thomas and kyla standing an islamic, do you have groups its from this densely populated enclave line between israel, egypt and the mediterranean sea. that promise has for years launched rockets into israel. the group has governed the over 2000000 residents in gaza since 2007 since then gaza has been seen as enemy territory by israel, and has remained largely sealed off. israel controls access by land, sea,

and air. the militant islam is group rejects any piece processed with these ro and cones for each disruption. thomas is designated a terrorist group by israel, the united states, the you and the united kingdom, among other countries. thomas is part of a regional alliance that includes iran, syria, and the is list organization has blocked 11 on which opposes us policies towards them. at least in these route. the you and other countries have deemed test by a terrorist organization. how much has carried out attacks on israel, which have led to 4 major military conflicts with the israeli army in 2008, 200920122014, and 2021. thomas has warned that these

latest wave of attacks are just the beginning and cold on other groups to join the fight. so let's bring in now your hilton, mom. he is director of the international crisis groups, middle east and north africa program. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate your time on israel has one of the most advanced intelligence and air defense networks in the world that leads the gaping question. how was a boss able to plan this attack without israel picking it up? it's a good question and i think i'm everyone in this role is asking the same question to ask and it also leadership leadership or asking each other and know right now that i've heard has as it is given an answer to it. so keep us because of failure. so what's a catastrophic failure of intelligence and also military preparedness, of a sort of, you know, similar to what happened 50 years ago. the i to $73.00,

your total for the but with egypt and syria attacked israel the but, but in the larger scheme of things, you could say that there was also a search and complacency, perhaps hubris on these really side. and it is really so saying this, i'm just quoting here about how they saw disrupt from the palestinians, even from how mass. because even the sort of a go, uh, they have far away from us. uh and, and, you know, brought it down to which these, or at least as is what i always like to call it. they move to grass in gaza so that they could, they would, how much would need time to rebuild. but it seems stuck how this has used it much longer periods to build up an arsenal and the kids ability that i've had used and that it just, you know, so then i mean, that leads me to my next question because this attack was really unprecedented. and

it's sophistication for him off. what does it reveal to you when you look at this as an analyst about how mosse that we maybe didn't know before? and what could it potentially mean going forward? now the 1st of all, we have to extend its capacity lives in an environment where it has popular support . it is not a some kind of implant, you know, it is indigenous to the guys a strip. and it's people suffer like the guns population, just genuinely d. uh, but within that, within that's and where are they able to, to build the military system. that is, of course a and then search in groups military system. it doesn't. it's not equivalent to use rating military and eventually is really military with, with this battle. but uh, but still it was, it's a formidable insurgence capabilities that you weren't able to build. they receive 1000 help for sure. they received a sophisticated technology for, for rockets,

for some of their roberts, which they have shown already a fully rub um they've received funding from upsets as well. so, and all of that enabled to but most of all they have exhibits. it's a remarkable degree just in that story, indignantly and it must have done, they must have done it also with their traditional insurgents way, which is to set up so and have no shared knowledge about the overall operation of the sales. okay, and i mean, you know, they must have anticipated a crushing response from, from israel. you've highlighted that israel has, by far the superior military capacity. what do you think them that they were hoping to realistically get out of this attack? so they wanted to get something out of it that they didn't get out of the less 6

rounds of conflicting garza. since i'm asked about the elections in 2006. and these rather both the siege on the territory a complete siege for the last 17 years. each time there was a war with israel. how about the last? each time there was massive just or just very degrees of destruction, but the increasing the massive and uh, and the population is desperate. so the situation have become actually clearly unsustainable. so this time, what time is, what's for me? it is it transformative events. this is what they're seeking. what are they will succeed is in order to start a different question. but they are basically going to grow. and they want to draw israel in 2000 to have the, you know, had to have come back to street. the street furniture from house to house and to it's like major casualty. so there's really sides, in addition to the hostages that are written, holding, and that that was done during the world's attention to the conflict is such

a way that they say, okay, the situation is indeed sustainable. or we need to find a different way for those. well, where a guy size is kept as an opening, a prison, as it has paid for the last 70 years. if, if that does indeed end up transpiring and we do see, you know, israel moving into gaza and in a, in a ground incursion. what is israel's then most realistic ends game? because it does not seem to have many good options in gaza or any good options for that matter. so yeah, so, so it's a 2 understand the question i'm asked must have a, have a, have an end game in mind, but it may not cheve it, it'd be objective so that the truck for itself is robust called of cars and doesn't have an game in mind the digits at least will search a date and of course, the smart or smart the heads are coming together, trying to figure out what, what they can retrieve from this. but i think right now just mentioned that this

one of revenge is there's, there's the range of these really started was an immense sense of the, caught out that being caught out vulnerable. and the 2nd about the whole is really approach towards the world. so i think they, they, they just and others of course, 150 or we don't know, the exact number is where the hostages in a gotcha. and as well, was to get them back up to life. so all of that makes word for a very complex, complicated picture in terms of what needs to be done. and i think it's really too early to talk about the sensible. and again, i think at this point, there are near objectives. that is what i want to achieve and it's put them all its resources on that, whether it's doing it the right way. or there's over reacting. i can tell yes, oh that's from the true. and so therefore also shape the outcome. but

right now it is about to use the short term objectives, use hilton, and then uh, from the international crisis group. thank you so much for joining us with that analysis. we appreciate it. thank you. fears are growing about the fate of thousands of people, abducted by him aust militants on saturday is real denies media reports of negotiations to secure their release in exchange for palestinians and this really jails. many of the hostages were seized at an outdoor music festival near the gaza strip. hundreds of bodies had been recovered from the site, the scenes of terror at a race and the desert. how most terrorists, open 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 there 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.
