to come to a staff or conquer the keyboards, they came to unusually the community to destroy them completely, to decimate them. and we have to realize the scale of this club as up as one of several communities on the border. there were about 700 people living in the ski boots before the slaughter. at least a 100 of them are dead. now. that basically means that the keep boots as it was will no longer exist. the act done by mouth and the palestinian islamic jihad in these communities is no less than the ethnic cleansing president biden compared. these acts of sheer evil that'd be said to ices. i don't even recall images like this coming from iraq when i did their journey of pores there truly on president that size. one community after the other 5 as a just being the 1st one that we get. testimonies out of that was done with add a couple of weights. speaking to us a little bit early on we'll see is our growing for dozens of hostages objected by

a friend from he was working at the festival. they have known each other since they were teenagers. and then the last contact with him was a 9 21 am. on saturday morning he sent a text message to his mother. and uh, in the text message, he says that he, he loves them his family. um, but he's in a container. there are a lot of terrorist outside, lots of gunshots outside. and it does not seem like they are going to make it out of their live friends and somebody is going to to the media for a sign of life that didn't know what had happened to him. but then a text message arrives. and i was just asking a rums wife last if um, if she can send me one of his pictures. so i can uh so i can send it to you from there winning day. and um and uh, she says that they,

they told them no officially, but he's dead. i mean, he's, feminine knows already he's one of the many killed in this attack. what to the us now, which has concerned at least 11 all of its citizens, were killed in the terror attack on saturday. president joined by didn't, has condemned the attacks by homicide and emphasized that to you as it stands by israel. earlier he said that israel had the right to defend itself to like to share even more than $1000.00 civilians, slaughtered francisco, slaughtered and israel long them. at least 14 american citizens killed. parents butchered using their bodies to try to protect their children. stomach turn, the reports of the baby's being killed, entire families slain. today,

americans across the country are praying for all those families at the ripped apart . let us know how it feels that leaves a black hole in your chest when you lose family. feeling like you're being sucked in, the hanger, the pain sense of hopelessness. this is what they mean by human tragedy. another cost was part of a wider speech by to a bite and we're going to take a look back at it now. we dw special correspondent, i import him a, a hi there. what are your main takeaways from what biden had to say about the attack in these around of the will the president used very emotional, very descriptive language, calling these attacks by him. us

a hear it even though he talked about the victims, the children of the elderly that have been killed and the rapes, that as we hear there are reports that there have been rapes committed as a well, he definitely gave israel a lot of latitude when it comes to its current military operation in the gaza strip, saying, reiterating again the american stance that israel has the right to defend itself in the face of the unprecedented terror attacks that it is facing. at the same time, he was sure to point out that as the democracies also have to abide by the rule of law. and by that, of course, he means a, you know, the civilians that are in guys and that within that military operation, their lives have to be taken into consideration as well. he's perhaps echoing the words that we heard yesterday from the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, who gave statements on the ongoing military operation. seeing that even, you know,

within the legitimate is really security concerns. and within that military operation, that has to happen within the framework of international law. and that includes, you know, considering a civilian life and civilian infrastructure in that military operations. eric, you're speaking of civilians, there are american citizens among the hostages that have mazda is threatening to kill, also have broad costs. the killings, if that happened, how would that affects the us position as well? the current us position is that if it did, the binding administration is ready to assist israel with all of the help that it needs for our viewers. who don't know, the united states does provide israel with upwards of $3000000000.00 us dollars of military 8 annually. and with the current unprecedented distribution, dividing administration has also pledged to provide israel with a more munition and more equipment. but the united states has said

that it's up until this point, there will be no u. s. boots on the ground. we do know that however, that the bite and administration will provide these relays with expertise in the form of hosted new hostage negotiators. but there is a lot of pressure we saw today in tel aviv a press conference by families of us citizens believe to be held in gaza, asking the president to do more to find their loved ones and really pleading with him, reminding him that it is his responsibility and the responsibility of the united states to ensure their a safe return. but it seems that for now that help will be limited to working with the israelis, but so far, no american boots on the ground. ok, i a secretary of state antony blink. and he's due to fly to israel on wednesday. what kind of support is he going to bring along with him?

we, we already know that the united states is pledging military aid. i think a anthony blinking making that trip, visiting israel at this time, while it's under constant bombardment and a rocket rocket fire from casa, is usually symbolic move. it is meant to show these really people that do united states stands by them and he is willing to make this trip even under these difficult circumstances. many flight, many, many airlines have actually cancer, the flights to tell or be because to israel because of the current security situation. the united states has also moved ship carry ships and aircraft carriers towards the eastern mediterranean a, in an attempt to deter mean, this was also something that president biden spoke about today. that it, it, to deter regional actors not to take advantage of the current situation. he said it himself, whoever is thinking about, i'm paraphrasing, now whoever is thinking about taking advantage of this situation. and that is like an implicit, uh, you know, message to a actors like you, ron,

or his blood and lab and on. he said, don't do it, just don't do it. and so that, that visit by anthony blinking will, likely to, you know, is, is, is meant to serve and strengthen that message and deter, also any actors in the region that may be thinking about taking advantage of the current security situation. jared dw special correspondent abraham in washington. i thanks so much for that analysis. israel has declared war on hamas and found to destroy its ability to golf in the gaza. the palestinian is on this group is considered a terrorist organization by the you're renting us, among others. he's more on what, how much represents the kansas street where the israeli defense forces have been striking targets belonging to the militant islam as thomas and palestinian islamic jihad of groups. it's from this densely populated
