and other i spoke with the car despondent on that claim i in jerusalem, i asked her to comment on his very official saying that a student must terrorists in these rel, well, they say assumption that this fellow militants in this house uh around the garza street, that came in on stop today, and since then, a is where the soldiers in the army has engaged those militants that were at least in 2 locations. we know yesterday and also this morning there was an infiltration that can attend in 16 and i spoke to the army and they're saying this is still a military close stone. so they, they took, however, some joining this is yesterday to some of the areas. and some of the keep assuming this is where these pictures are coming from. the where in, in uh, in the 2 boots are fairly for some developed over hundreds of bodies, pounds a, so more and more details of what happens in these communities that are still kind of closed off our emerging ending for also. and i also also,

i mean about what you choose toward and they say we cannot confirm any numbers. what happened in can what's called as a is a massacre in which women, children, toddlers and the other new were brutally a butchered. and we are aware of the, his act, thomas is capable of comparing it also uh to the acts of ices. there is also to tanya of israel starting a crowned operation. soon as it goes out, can you tell us about any preparations you are seeing for there's oh, when it will start or of the idea of said anything to that effect a while, i mean, we will not get an advance notice when this ground defense of, of stars, but we know from previous wars in 2014, for some we've seen a period of heavy asteroids and then the ground forces moved. and we know that is where a we attacked and they're already bombarding uh and the gaza strip heavily that they will have to make a very,

very heavy attack. have you heard you off calling the defense minister? he was touring the envelope of around the gauze and strips of you said we are on our way to a full scale attack on gaza as they are at war. and we're seeing more more of course, military equipment, a mastery know reserve is a lot of young people. yeah. have been pulled up for the reserve the old and messing around the goals of florida. and we also hear, you know, the new s tribes fix on this. let me can. adversity in garza has been hitting a unit as one of the biggest one of the biggest universities in gaza. and of course you have to understand this is under an unprecedented scale. we have a very, very high deaf, told this terrorist attack would happen with, unfortunately saturdays, unprecedented with all these militants coming in and that also still hostages. and uh, in in garza, we don't know the exact number, but we understand that at least by know 60 families house been informed that they

lost funds. and these are civilians, elderly people chosen young people and also military personal that have been taken hostage and brought to a better situation in gaza. but there's also reports of opportunity and broke at 5 being exchanged in the northridge around with syria, and has been the in the lab. and then how does this man plan to cope with any escalation there? a while, i mean this is the big gloria here, that you might see, you know, another from the openings in the past as we've seen, you know, exchange of fire. and again, this morning, i understand from the statement by the is really army that and 2 tanks, missiles were fired from living on territory. there were some and the is where the army has also now retaliated. and what they say was the military or the base and post by a that belongs to the, the been is

a militant organization has for law. so um, it is slowly, slowly, also heating up on the northern border. it still seems kind of contained but of course that is the worry that this might also go into another from that something a big i might have them there. i'd like to talk about the situation for civilians or in a goes how dieties and fold them. i think it's very hard to describe the situation that has basically no shelter, no save room, and you're seeing the desk told is rising, the the injuries and the injured people is also rising and is one has said that they will no longer let in a few that is needed, of course, also for causes only power station. and we understand from officials and goals that, that they run out soon. uh, we also understand that uh electricity will not be supplied anymore. that comes in through the grid and also no more food from, from the is really crossing care and so long this crossing. so of course, closed,

i talked to some people on the phone, it's increasingly difficult to talk to people there on this. you have some solar power because they tricity is down the same. we don't know where to go. and obviously people have seen us to move from the border areas. it seemed as in previous wars, towards the center of casa, but also, you know, some people said they've done this. no, it's the 5th time that they're losing their home and they don't know where to go. it is a people have been austin pit to the center of the gaza atanya. but is it possible for people to leave goals all together for safety and where essentially come dozens go or why they don't have many options? um, because the crossing to is was closed. um uh, also normally the times is very difficult to leave a garza um, so people from the border areas are not moving towards the center, but they also s choice of course in the center and rock as far as close goes out

from the as well. so then you have the mediterranean sea is a natural border and then only uh, the, the only border crossing left would be to egypt. i do seen in previous times that egypt has hesitated to take and you know, an influx of refugees or people that are trying to 6 child to just you cannot just go to present yourself at the board and say, i need to leave. so lot of people now they are suffering and you and schools obviously, but they're also overwhelmed. and even as i said, you know, as you move from from the outside, from the outskirts of the city centers from the bigger towns into the center, there also strikes. so it's very, very hard for people to seek shelter. what you might see is you've seen that in the past and also do a nation of, uh, you know, doing people with, through a national citizenship would be maybe as accurate as if there's a humanitarian car though. but you still have to wait and see if there's an opening of the crossing to with egypt. for the moment a people just have to seek uh shows or where they can, but there's no safe space for them. we leave it there for the time being timeframe

. i enjoy those and thank you very much for that. and for more analysis on the consequences of these conflict, we have used to keep them on joining us. he's director of the middle east and north africa program as a domestic crisis group of research and advocacy organizer from the box to prevent conflict. welcome back to the doctor. going to have different, what do you make of israel's response sofa as well? um, it is uh no surprising that uh is well, is responding in the way that it is now, which is massively because it has always responded to uh, how much brokers or techs, uh, which we saw in the past. mostly, uh, in this way, uh, master fleet by destroying the buildings and uh, you know, going all out to the gaza strip. um, now this time they have additional reason because of the nature of the master tech

on such a day, which was horrific. and as, as close to me.
