trapped between israel, 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 reservists 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 circuit. you're going to chase and hundreds each and every really 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 is a ground offensive, binds 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. and the amount drawing by doing a dw mcgee send, this shiny resign is to have you in the studio shiny. we know that this holes risen . what more do we know about the situation on the ground today? others? so how must medicines in israel start? and the problem is, is really,

don't know how many and where exactly the assumption is that the, several of them, several groups of them hiding somewhere along israel. i points to puerto was across and they made it to israel and it keeps everybody on the edge. that's what we're seeing is we have a lot of engineers invitation, a lot of alertness. also in the northern border where we see little inclusions coming from the shy group has bought a lot in the north. so everything is a very, very tense. and if you look at the cause, and then of course there, there's a lot of suffering this apartments constant apartments from the air by is really a force. so this is where we stand today. shiny, it's all about certain that israel is preparing a ground. defensive is there any indication as to when this offensive will be launched and, and, and what it might look like? well, we hear a lot of talks about this is going to be unprecedented. this is going to be something that we've never has to be the palestinians. the region have never seen before. this is where it is very much aware of the fact that how much is anticipating this. right and

a ground operation. and it's trying to reinvent the playbook and gone sized. we know what we used to sing gaza is quite hard to predict what we're going to see. there's one thing clear that we're seeing from all the decision makers in israel. they will stop at nothing. they have uh, the shock is such that they, there's sound based on very militant with very didn't care for too many, terry and or any other. yeah, i know considerations. and so that points it's, it's pretty clear that the states of goal here is to eradicate homeless shawnee in the event that, that were to happen. and it really looks like you that, that will, there is going to be this vacuum incorrect. what does israel intend to do then? will we see israel take full control? is that this part of what? we're still not sure of? we don't know. there are no clear aims to this war to this operation. we don't know if it's really only trying to dismantle her. mazda is military capabilities or take over her mazda is control over, over the territory in total. and that would mean re, re capturing gaza and re occupying it, which i think very few people in is, are,

are interested in. um, what's not, it's obviously not spoken out loud. at least are any political to put medical solutions that will bring in other allies from the region. and that i think will have to evidently be on the table, but it's still not there yet. uh, the us president joe biden, he's spoken out on the issue. we also know that he is in punched in engagement with these rare departments, have been him and didn't know what do you know about those discussions and, and what did you make of what he had to say? why from the start it was important for by the end to clear the clearly indicate that he's standing behind israel and he's also sent a lot of military support to the middle east. the biggest sphere looming is yvonne and he runs his role. but you know, we, we know that you're on is in the back channels. the one behind to some extent. what are we seeing and dogs are definitely what we will might be seeing in the north, the post bala. and that's the biggest sphere that it's in. you know, and, and bite in our, our sharing and they want to keep you want to be. and we also know that from

a reports, the biden has seen the photos of the victims of the wreckage, of the horror left behind of the of the victims were really a lifting. i'm unbelievably turbo state and he was very touched by it. and this is also partially fueling his personal anger as someone who's seen himself as a friend of israel for many years. show any believe that they found q 50 dw, but least analyst shiny was honestly now how much has objected dozens of people including children and the l. d. e. some hostages were also taken as an alto music festival close to gaza. gunman shot data at least 260 people that the families of some of those at the festival still have no news about their loved ones. they don't know whether they are dead or alive. of correspondents tonya clements sentences reports to the uncertainty is unbearable

i'm afraid, but i love you all and i don't know what's going to happen. but anyway, i love you all. remember that said up to several of thousands, mainly young party goers were at the side saturday morning. when rockets felt looms and gunman started to shoot at least 250 people died here, dozens missing. so to be taken to casa and had hostage by them in attends. 3 days later, toma shalom and his family are still searching. hospitalized hoping that daughter wasn't a doctor. that was the last time that anyone heard the something from nom and from that time we are kind of thing to to lock. this is a sense of sadness and go in uncertainty of what is said to come. as more details emerge from what unfolded on such a day, many is radius has

the identification process going on for those we saw on the report. we're still waiting to know what happened to them, but the others they know for sure, because there were some of the hiring video separate posted on social media where this sold at last funds being dragged over the border into gauze. so they also don't know, you know, all the injured what has happened to them. and from some, some of those, there are some of the details that are coming. there was an elderly woman from the keyboards that was uh, draft and you know, uh, driven way. uh on the on the pickup truck. uh we also so uh a young a guy in his twenties who was almost half naked on a pickup truck. uh, we also know about a young paramedic, a young woman who was uh, taken to go. so do these are, you know, a relative. they know that their loved ones are in garza and there's an identification process at the moment going on with the army informing families of

what has happened to the last ones. but there are also more and more details coming out, you know, from, from other areas in the cells that have been closed off on to now for accelerating . keep with spivey, that's also very, very close to the cause. the border with over a 100 buddies have been discovered in the past days and more and more of those relatives and families are reaching out, especially also to the for a media because they want, you know, the words to know what has happened there. very quickly. it's on your what can you tell us about is really government's plans to risk. is the hostages. are of the government's, for example, whose nationals are among those hostages? stepping into hell. well, this is still too early to tell because um, you know, we have to look maybe in the policy. i mean how much has taken hostages uh before uh, like in 2006, a sold, it was a top to it. and then taken into garza, he was released only in 2011 against a 1000 post and imprisoned us. but this right unprecedented, you know,
