. as is where it keeps up, its effects is try the strikes, hit hundreds of targets in god's overnight beeping and died. neighborhoods in joins 50 workers and lucas went door to door. searching for survivors is transmitted. trustees, it was targeting locations, used by palestinian militants to launch attacks on his writing with the sunrise, the aftermath of they've started it strikes is obvious, shops and homes. don't do robin said definitely i should've asked you about the targeting has to be non just we've not seen this anywhere before they talk did humans of trees ago, stones, and even children. i don't know if it's all about, but they didn't leave anything safe. the casa is under heavy fire.

thousands have set their homes to seek shelter, is weird. but for people in distance keep up with that area. they don't feel safe hiding places. how is this the fault? what did my children do? there's no electricity, internet, food, or water. why? we suddenly found ourselves display going from a car to a hospital to a street. one person was told to come, stay with us and they got hit by an asteroid. another person asked us to come, stay with them and they go talk to, i'm in the street, where should i go? oh my god, i don't even you in facilities have been hit the i use that syllabus coolie sheltering the displays, but i have been directly hit um a few days ago and, and overall we are hosting some 170000 people

in over 18 schools on other facilities across the gaza strip. these are families who have floods the selling and the compartment is tracy's. it has destroyed the homes of many members of homos. the militant islam is viewed as a dentist organization by the e. u and the us it has also invoiced a feature on the gods are stripped, stopping the supply of food, fuel and medicines. and the reports that the soldier, meaning accessed from egypt has also been shut after it strikes, strikes at the border crossing for civilians got up in the fighting. the conditions are becoming increasingly difficult. officials and gods as the fuel and medicines are running short and the you wednesday is the damage toward the facilities has got supplies to hundreds of

thousands of homes. these are on his guarding. the depths to lots of stuff to do is to invest a tax, staggering as we just turned him off. but it didn't give at least 1200 mostly on um, civilians in the assault as well as the massing tanks on the border. and is vitally expected to start a ground defensive into gaza soon, the top goes rebecca reaches reports from the. is there any time of the road close to the guns aster this? is this the rock police station or what's left of it? and it's the scene of one of the biggest vassals during this audio, how mouse militants will hold up inside. i'm use riley military will caught up in a 20 hour gun battle a local residents left terrified and angry. glorifying because we saw them running around here everywhere. we were pretty much innocent and we didn't have anything to do in this entire situation. no. so 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 in, in those sort of and, and which of our kids and systems and our photos and the children to the babies. i never seen such a quoted israel is responding to the attacks with massive air strikes on the gaza strip. these randy government has told guns to evacuate the territories traps 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. so we'd fled to escape death. there were continuous air strikes. the israelis told us to come down to con eunice,

but we only found duster 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 ms solves flying in both directions. incoming and outgoing. for me is riley town of ash come on. most of the gaza strip. most rockets continue to cause destruction. israel has cooled up hundreds of thousands of reservists as it prepares, the next stage of its retaliation. at least one government minister has joined the troops to have been what he calls these rails 911. this is not going to be another circuit. you're going to chase enhance each and every militant of from us. we're going to change chase and hon. their leaders. and we would fight them to be in against them. and we would be victorious, not just for us,

but for the sake of the civilized world. 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 w i spoke with our correspondent tanya kreme, i in jerusalem. i asked her to comment on is randy officials saying that i still have mazda service in israel? well, they say assumption that this fill militants in this house around the gaza strip of that came in on stop today. and since then, a is really 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 clo 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 happened in these communities that are still kind of closed off our emerging ending. so i also, and i also asked the army about what you choose toward, and they say we cannot confirm any numbers. what happening 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 that he knows at some us as capable of comparing it also to the acts of ices. there is also to tanya of israel starting a ground 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 the idea of send anything to that effect? a while, i mean we will not get an advance notice when this ground defense of, of stars,

which we know from previous wars in 2014 for excel. and we've seen a period of heavy asteroids and then the ground forces moved. and we know that is where a wheel attack 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 garza. 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 reserves. 2 and messing around the goals of florida, and we also hear, you know, the new s tribes fix on this, let me get diversity 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 hoffman 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? what i mean, this is the big gloria here, that you might see, you know, another front 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 a and 2 tanks,

missiles were fired from living on territory. um there were some, uh um and the is where the army has also now retired to and what they say wasn't military also based on post by a that belongs to the, the been these militant organization has 4 law. so um it is slowly, slowly, also heating up on the northern border and it still seems kind of contained but of course that is the worry that this might also go into another from that the something a big i might have in there. i'd like to talk about the situation for civilians or in a goes, how dieties and for them. i think it's very hard to describe the situation that has basically no shelter, no save room and you're seeing the tests told is rising the of the injury. it's an injured people, it's also rising and is what it 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. we also understand that 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 uh, 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 uh, the people have been austin, hit to the center of the it does atanya of it. 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 florida 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 the, the only border crossing left would be to egypt. and you 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 shuddering and you and schools obviously, but they're also overwhelmed. and even as i said, you know, if 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 national uh, you know, doing people with, through

a national citizenship. it would be maybe as accurate as if that you might have to are in colorado, but you still have to wait and see if there's an opening of the crossing to with egypt. for the moment 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. let's get submitted to analysis on this. now with mike martin, a former british army officer and security specialist at kings college london. mike, good to have your back on the dump, lloyd, the bears get off. i'm clear if is rarely forces have fully secured area that i'm most penetrated. why has this been so difficult i, i guess i would say is it came to looking for a needle in a haystack, as well as reports of that code, you know, over a 1000 how mass medicines.
