plus, we meet the families waiting for news of a missing last one. stay were at a music festival. wayne had gone to the wind. how must have gone down hundreds and took thousands of thousands as hostages. any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of the situation? i have one more. don't, don't. and presidential i bought in issues of wanting to israel is neighbors, and to new ways warships arrive in the mediterranean, equals how mazda is attack, an active she evils the jared read. thank you for your company. the 1st american plane carrying ammunition

and has landed in these round that's according to the use, riley miller trade. this follows comments from the us present, enjoyed biden, who said on choose day that use royal had the rise and jersey to defend itself. so today's attack by how much gunman killed more than 1000 people. meantime, each round has intensified. it strikes on guns in red to allegations the attack palestinian officials say at least 900 people in concert had been killed and thousands more wounded satellite images. sorry, the destruction caused by the bombardment dw correspondent rebecca reaches travel to the is riley town of steroids that need the border with gaza. the police station day was destroyed and the dialogue battle with how much gunman she sent us of this report. this is this to rock police station or what's left of it. and as the scene of one of the biggest vassals during this audio, how mouse militants will hold up inside. i'm is riley miller. travel caught up in

a 20 hour gun battle. the local residents left terrified and angry, glorifying because we saw them running around here everywhere. we were pretty much in a sense and we didn't have anything to do in this entire situation. no weapons to, you know, protect ourselves. nothing to actually do in this situation. i've been this for both but not, and nothing like this, nothing like any most and it was sort of and, and which of our kids and systems and our photos and the children to the baby. i never seen such a quoted as well as responding to the attacks we'd massive air strikes on the gallons a strip. these riley government has told guns to evacuate. the territory is trapped between east around egypt and the mediterranean sea. most residents have no way to

go to escape the bombs. one woman said her brother died while trying to follow his rounds instructions to relocate. we'd fled to escape death. there were continuous airstrikes. the israelis told us to come down to con eunice, but we only found dust here. if we stay home, we die. if we go in the streets, we die. my beloved brother fled from one place to another. my beloved brother, may your soul rest in peace. this kinds of guns are filled with rockets and myself flying in both directions, incoming and outgoing for me as ran the town of ash cologne, most of the gaza strip. moss rockets continue to cause destruction. israel has cooled up hundreds of thousands of reserves as it prepares, the next stage of its retaliation. by at least one government minister has joined the troops to avenge what he calls these rails 911. this is not going to be

another set. this is going to chase and hans each and every milly to pull from us. we're going to change chase and hon. their leaders. and we would fights and to be in against them. and we would be victorious, not just for us, but for the sake of the civilized world. a ground defensive bias, riley forces looks likely. prime minister benjamin netanyahu told his country to prepare for a long and difficult role that he says will reshape the middle east. well jonathan, you can read because he is a lieutenant colonel with easiest riley may i ask him if he is or i was planning a ground defensive into gaza? this is all it is a fighting for and defending itself on 3 fronts. the southern front in gaza, which you have spoken about this been active and they're still attacks by terrorist

trying to get into his rated communities. they are met by israeli soldiers who are ready to engage and have ended all of these engagements with it, killed the terrorist in the latest hours, both and ask them. and in another community in the south rockets have being fired at israel from syria. we do not yet know if it was uranium proxies feasible of all the syrian on forces. in that we were tabulated fire towards those who fired. i'm currently the situation very stable in the north of the northern border is by law and other uranium proxy terror organization. has fired anti tank missiles and other terrorist have tried to infiltrate across the border. all of those events have since been taken care of. and currently there is no finding there. but we all deployed in significant strength and numbers, vigilant and ready to respond to any aggression from those areas. so if in the

south we have the spelling. all that out, my question is, is, is the ground defensive into gaza, something that is being planned or can see that yes i was just about to get to that . so in the south we have them deployed. well, we have pulled up 300000 reservists from infantry, amr, all tillery combat the engineers and the combat the intelligence units. they are now around the gaza strip, getting ready to execute their emissions, preparing guessing their gear and everything in order. the assignment that is that the idea of has been given by these randy administered, these maybe government is to take away all of home us military activities. so that's at the end of this war. how much does not have any military

capacity to carry, terrorize or hurt is ready? civilians cannot. can i take your answer to mean that you are not ruling out a ground defensive into gaza as you'd be correct in assessing? that's all options are on the table. and as i said, our troops are preparing in order to implement the mission, to execute the mission that'd be, have been given by these ready government. we are at war against a bloodthirsty tara organization that is as brutal roof, less than in humane as isis was, and it's worst days. and i think that there is unfortunately ample evidence of that . when you see the image is coming out of the keyboard, seem the communities along the gaza strip of 4050 and hundreds of is riley bodies. that's all scaffold across those communities, including women and children, and the emily. the only conclusion that you can make,

once you see that footage is that we are dealing with monsters that have no regard for human life across the border only in order to kill and take a hostage is ray, the civilians. so you just mentioned these hostages, and now i do want to ask you about that. how does this a very, very complicated mission complicate these if it's in terms of getting to the hostages held by a must militants? because on the one hand, there is a, there are strikes from the is riley military onto gaza. but on the other hand, you, you, you want to rescue the hostages that being held in gaza. could you, could you spell this out a bit more clearly for us, the complicated the mission that's ahead of you. you know, i think you touched upon the complexity quite well. the situation is that there are dozens of is riley's in garza, most of the civilians. i'm talking about women, children, a disabled people,

elderly people, and even babies or toddlers. there's even a holocaust survivor that we assess is being held by from us. and we know of the hostages that are also with dual nationality. there are americans, germans, french, brits, brazilians, and ukrainians, and from additional countries that are being held by some us. so this situation, this extremely complex situation is not and is really problem only. it is rarely problem, but we have talking about many countries that have their nationals at the mercy or lack of mercy of some us. you are right that the complexity here is immense. but our focus is the strategic focus of denying his beloved be, sorry from us, the ability to have any military capacity against as well. and that is what our

aerial campaign is focused on. and that is what the next stages of our military operation will be focused on. but it is an unprecedented issue. we have never before been past with dealing with such a complex, sensitive, and frankly, at heart wrenching dilemma that we have before us today. but we will address it at the end of this war. we will prevail. so, or to just finally, could you spell out for us, please? what are the measures that the is riley military is taking to minimize both to visit civilian casualties in terms of hosted box, also palestinians in gaza as israel responds to this attack a yes, the gaza strip is a small and dense base, more than 2000000 people live there, most of them are not how most of both those they lived there under oppression of from us. and some of us being coward terrorists are hiding behind the civilians and

using them as human shields. and some of us have purposely positioned all of their infrastructure, all of their military hardware, their positions, the rockets, the bunkers, and every places the hamas is. they have position that behind the civilians and they are using them as human shields. we are trying the best we can to strike only military targets and we act upon precise intelligence. and we tried to deliver very precise ordinance, only of places where we know that some us uses them for military purposes. it's important for me to explain that if, while you're showing footage of what looks like civilian house is being struck from the air and collapsing for the i'm trained i. the problem with thomas is that they don't put signs on buildings where they have offices and research and development

and command and control. there's no sign that says this is a some us facility and they hide b, b, b amongst the civilians. and therefore, it's very important to understand that we are striking houses and facilities that look so vivian. but they are not because they are used by terrorist in order to fight against us. and that's why they are legitimate military targets. but i want to say and emphasize, and shortly we are committed to the law of on conflict. we do not want to strikes the videos and we will try not to effect civilians as we carry on with this war against homos in gaza. lieutenant colonel jonathan calling because from the is riley defense forces. thank you so much for joining us. thank you for having the good, nice some days now off to the terrorist attack carried out by how mos on this riley soil. one scene is revealing the extent of sand, today's har on auto for specs for the victims. we are not going to show you the old

of was cameras. the capture that they could boats in cars aren't as a, as they just ran. the defense forces created for these away we can tell you though, that the guy to yes is there are many children among the victims, including infants, journalist id, couple weeks in jerusalem told us more about these reported atrocities. you said earlier that you can show the photos out of respect to the victims. unfortunately, i had to watch these materials today and never, and all of my journal wasn't courier have i seen such horrific videos in images from anywhere in the world. we're talking about tens and tens of mutilated bodies. some of them burnt. the headed babies thrown in the trails of the little community of club plaza. whole families burned to death in their shelters. young mothers, young children, shot down while they were bound outside their houses. truly unimaginable things.

immense amounts of blood in each and every house of the keyboards. a result of the slaughter. because a terrorist went from house to house, he didn't just come to a tap or conquered the keyboard. they came to a nearly the community to destroy them completely, to decimate them. and we have to realize the scale of this club as up is 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 when no longer exists, the act done by mouth and the palestinian islamic jihad in these communities is no less than the ethnic cleansing president biden compared. these active, she are evil as the said to isis. i don't even recall images like this coming from iraq when isis.
