speaking a short while ago. our correspondent rebecca river is meantime earlier described the military build up in southern israel, near the border to golf. so that's where rebecca is, will tell us. well, we can hear from where we are about 8 kilometers from the guys a border and we can he, uh, 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 are that we're not able to hear. there was a little earlier, there was a small uh then we've been seeing in recent 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 spot 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 dallas. and now uh so you know, these things very much going on here. would you like to share that with trying to run? and of course rebecca, if you need to take shelter, please do so we will do. yeah. yeah, we sure do the same office we see them rebecca, we can see those rockets streaming 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 there?

the hey, it's very 10. so what i will just say is what you're the rock until you're seeing farming left is the actually the i in durham is rose defense system firing towards the rockets and the plains of smoke. all the intersections that you're seeing. we cannot hear that the fate being any land full and we weren't, we weren't here in use of that for some time. 5 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, that it's only just a normal part of their lives. you see people riding around them and motorcycles, for example, and, and even looking over 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, i can't 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 see 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 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 change about what the next step is going to be. but as you heard in that report, you probably just before i came on a prime minister benjamin netanyahu, it's saying that it is going to be big me 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 seeing 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 israel to move in. there are some indications that being a possibility. yesterday we saw a number of tanks moving behind you. what are you seeing today? we've seen the the build up to that as i was trying to explain before we see yesterday we so uh what, what appeared to be quite a lot of hardware and uh, personnel. and today we're seeing even more in this area alone. i haven't personally pain along the border, but from reports this is happening all like across all along the guy of the guys and border. we have been getting word that 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 that's 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 t w's rebecca renters. thank you. set the united states on monday confirmed the depths of at least 11 citizens and said that it was likely that americans were among the hostages being held by him. off 2 days after militants breached the perimeter of the embattled palestinian enclave. the kidnappings have left families across israel with an impossible choice. some of them are steadfast in defending israel's return attacks on targets in garza. well raffling with the knowledge that it could further jeopardize the safety of their loved ones. let's listen to now to a press conference that is taking place right now of american families who are

missing their loved ones. we were living in california in 2000 when the church was born. we made all the out israel as a family in the summer of 2008 when hersh, who's our oldest child. he was a 7 and a half, almost 8 when we moved his room in the summer of 2008. we've been living in jerusalem ever since. we have 2 daughters, 20 and 17, and i just want to take one minutes to talk a little bit about her. he is a smiley, fun loving guy. and people of all ages just gravitate towards him. and if you mentioned his name to his friends, his teachers, my friends are friends, and you mentioned his name and people just smile cuz he's the guy, the guy who's just phone to be around and makes people feel good and have a good time. um, it's got a few passions, one of which is traveling the world, and he's been saving his money to go on his big trip to the end of december.

hi, thank you. everybody for coming. my name is the how their time. um. their eldest son for adrian at um as this strategy was on the folder and saturday morning, me and my other siblings were talking to my mom on the phone trying to calm her down. the things were sort of calm when she heard of gunfire outside of her shelter and we tried to call her down. that's when i dropped off the car. and both my brother and my sister were on the call with her. the terrorist barged into her home and with her on her,

the little bit of streaming. and that's uh, that was our, our last contact with her. so there was no shooting on the call and the neighbors downstairs also didn't hear any shooting. my mom used a little bit of a big that you picked up working as a nurse in the hospital and silica for 20 years to come down the terrorist. and it is our hope, which is a bit ridiculous at this stage to say that on the optimistic scenario. here's the she's held hostage in gaza and not that on the street of the people. it's why because my mom is a 66 year old lady, proud mother of me and my 3 other siblings are in the room with me.

a knock with 7 grandkids. she was sitting on the porch of our home in berry in on saturday morning. when this versus the deck happened, my mom devoted her life to helping other people for racism, changes in our practice as a nurse in the hospital, the magazine doseover. she installed this passion for people in the us, her kids and her grandkids. as i said, i lost contact with my mom was saturday morning, around 9 45 am. as the car was perched into her sheltering in her home

in barely there are a lot of images um, kinda spreading around, which i don't feel the need to talk about. i wanna bring forward the responsibility that they use rarely government has to bring back all the hostages that are in hostage by the how much tourist was saying this. i want also to speak about their responsibility, but the us administration president bright biden and the secretary state lincoln

had.
