tell their stories. the german government promises to do everything possible to bring them the next bytes are welcome to the program. israel says it will allow safe passage for civilians in northern guys after it urge them to leave a head of an expected ground offensive. is really officials said to main roads would allow people to escape safely until 4 pm local time. israel's military has already been attacking targets. it says are linked to hum us. the terrorist group says 9 people. it was holding hostage had been killed in those rates. in the past 24 hours civilians and guys have also been among the casualties. rushing injure to hospital after an errors in kansas city.

the israel's military stepped up air strikes on how mass targets a week after how mass launched terror attacks in israel. that to more than 1000 people, made bombardments and ground raids. israel's military says it dropped pamphlets, giving civilians in northern gather a new time window to evacuate to the south. the warning comes of had been expected ground invasion by israel. but the united nations is urging israel to revoke the evacuation order warning of a humanitarian disaster. they are calling for an end to the siege on gazda, and the passage of 8. the other call now is uh for uh, one humanitarian at pause is to entertain clay doors face buses just bored at 8 to reach the children. i found that these are the causes us to also the

protection of children as is but amount and it's the sponsibility of all parties through the conflict. israel's army accuses, have massive stopping civilians from evacuating and stress that its target in gaza is from us terrorist. the palestinian civilians and gaza or north our enemies. we don't assess them as such and we don't target them as such. if they were obviously the situation in gaza would be totally different. we are trying to do the right thing, trying to evacuate civilians in order to minimize the risk for them. meanwhile to israel's north and 11 on israel's armies as it killed several terrorists trying to cross the border. lebanon's has the law a militant group back by around has said it is prepared to join. it's ally, have mass and fighting is real fears or mounting that the conflict between her mouth and israel could spill over across the region. for more on this,

the spring and dw as a senior international correspondent study to char, who's in jerusalem. honey, the is rarely defense forces. as we've been saying, i've offered to say for it was for people in northern guys, a ahead of the ground defensive. what else do you know? well, basically this time window that's being extended now as we just heard in the reports initially it was an order by israeli government, the, the yeah, basically one day to the from northern guys. it's a southern gaza even though that's been extended until today and it's very concrete just how that's going to go on from here to the extension or not. and pretty much regardless of that one. so understand that gaza is under siege. so for people to even trying to flee what you've been trying to see from north to south face so many difficulties on the way as it strikes. continue is rain. yes, rise, continue, and at the same time how about submitted since i go to be a we want to defend themselves. so they basically trapped here in amongst these

different attacks both from air, but also increasingly from the sort of because even though the big ground defensive has not started yet is really and so just a minute terry, the tags, everything's pretty much a symbol, the m as a sorry i'm asked, they are close to the guys a buddha, even though that week offensive has not started. so local rates have begun and they are casual piece. they are a lot of publish do for the students or the more than 1000 police sooner officials say who have been killed because of this s trice and the ongoing conflict between homeless militants and these are the forces. so with that window being extend that for a couple of more hours, it does signal basically to withdrawal from each route that they understand as a spokesperson. the in fact just pointed out from idea of quote, react clear that this is going to take more time just of accusation evacuation. but at the same time the humanitarian challenges they are on the ground will not cease to exist. obviously by extending a window by a couple of hours. okay,

so i need just to shift things to the put a, to a political level for a moment. prime minister benjamin engine. yeah. who went on tv, emphasizing this is only the beginning, who is the addressing that or do you think how master or as own people are both basically addressing, not just the people who are domestic in israel, who really wants to ask the people who are speaking through they say they, they must be a strong and very united and that's best response by these reading government to basically making sure that they haven't submitted things can never again do what they did last week and killing hundreds of people and abducting at least an estimated 150 civilians to a gaza strip. now you also can see, however, this statement, but probably send it to you all in the context that it's semester to, obviously, to the homeless militants, it's going to be a price to pay the pay for what they have executed last weekend. but it's also

certain it's sending a message to the region as a whole, to make sure that people, uh, be it's, for example, the around back to administer the organization has pulled off and leave on on. iran itself is not going to getting involved in this situation. so messaging into a different direction. what at the same time, of course, from me to spend the time. nothing. yeah, wants to p a very strong in this situation, trying to unite israel because he will need israel is backing what ever he wants to execute. and that's the big question. nobody knows when the ground defense, if he's going to stop. and once it's stops, just for how long it's going to continue. thank you. if any dw studies which are interesting for us, a german foreign minister and the buyer bucket is in egypt as she continues her visit to the middle east, bare bulk met egyptian foreign minister, some issue cri, and cairo for talks that focused on the gas and conflict spokesman for the egyptian foreign ministry said both ministers understood the need for quote,

immediate fest ation an escalation of the conflict. thereby also held talks with visiting turkish foreign minister. how can see done to discuss the joint efforts to secure the release of german hostages, held by him us arriving in israel and letting it be a bulk hated to see him off his destruction for himself. we are standing alongside who is really count about the p, a survey, the slicing home near the guys a border. the 3 people died you after it was hit by how most rock gets fairbanks trip is the show of solidarity with israel. and the aftermath of the attacks, visiting a crisis seemed to she can dim thomas and god to support israel with what ever it needs. in this horrible days, we the people of germany, a standing with you. we're feeling with you. we all ease re lease

the space. so i would like to convey our deepest solidarity from the government of germany, but also from the people of germany to people of israel. the bulk also made with families of german citizens, held hostage and gaza. desperate for information, having heard nothing since they were kidnapped last saturday. in 4 o'clock afternoon, i eventually saw a video which i recognized my wife and 2 daughters getting on to some kind of vehicle and getting kidnapped the hutch with jim. and he can use it international clout to help recover the hostages. we met with the foreign minister of germany and the she was very confessing and understanding. and i expect germany to bring back home her german citizens. not only german citizens,

to babies. my babies. and my wife, my whole world, germany's government is promising to do everything i can to find its missing citizens. the need to bring them home, growing increasingly urgent for more of the humanitarian situation and does it. let's cross now to jerusalem once again to speak to stephen ryan with the red cross which has people on the ground in gaza. stephen is the red cross able to play any role in trying to get him us free these really hostages. it was certainly i, but we can say right from the start as of nothing can justify the attacks that were carried out just interested in the, in the last week or hertz the i see or see all of our stuff as well as people around the world or had scripts and the findings of lost loved ones and especially also to those who are left, waiting and wondering what has happened to those who have been taken hostage. and

the i, c, r c has been reiterating. it's called the parties for the complex to make sure that they are released immediately. we have engaged with a mouse and a dialogue to make sure that they understood what their obligations are. and at the same time, the tax it is relative suffert's. i cannot justify the limitless destruction of gover. there has been tragedy on both sides of this complex and the i, c or c, acting as a neutral intermediary and a role as an entirely neutral unimpressed organization. works with people that are affected, both in israel and gaza and to turn to the situation in gaza itself. if you don't mind, what are you hearing about conditions for civilians? they're now i would certainly from talking to my colleagues that are based there at the i feel like she has over a 100 stuff based in gaza. the situation is dire. i. there has been a distinct lack of food, water, electricity. and now i such

a huge number of people being instructed to move sites in conditions like this. it is impossible for the i c or c, or any organization to provide suspicions, humanitarian assistance. while the ministry siege continued use, we do not have access to the people that need help right now. while that seems continues, we're not going to be able to help people. and that's why we're calling for an immediate humanitarian access, both for relief patients, goods, medical license foods and or stuff to be able to help to meet some of the needs that are lising by the hour and the israeli government. steven has told civilians as we know to leave northern gas. what are the people who can't leave? who are in hospital or babies and incubators, there are people you know or are too old. will your organization be able to help them? a look. certainly the military forces and the armies have a responsibility to warn people about intending risk. but at the same time,

as you mentioned, they're going to be many, many people who are unable to sleep for a broad range of reasons. they might be elderly, they might have a disability that might be fixed. for all of these reasons, it means that international humanitarian law protects these people. and that means that a states and other authorities have a responsibility to make sure that they're spared on the sizes. for the perspectives of the i, c or c, we are ready to try and help these people. those that have needs, as well as those who have no choice but to remain where they are. to do so, we need to have access for teens and to be able to bring in a liking needed really functions. and it just the last question. if i may, you have perhaps a 1000000 people on the move traffic jams inevitably, if they're all taking these, these 2 safe routes. how do you actually catch up and deliver food and medicine to these people? is that part of the challenge? but certainly part of the challenges that we do have

a large number of staff based and gaza, many of which are resident there and some international stuff. although it's not sufficient for us to be able to respond to the crisis on the scale, which is growing by the hour. we needs to be able to get further relief and people in we need to be able to organize support for the people that are there. because right now the situation is so fluid and dynamic that it's impossible. but the small, relatively small team that we have, and for all the amount of turn actors to be able to address is crisis. so we need to have access now. okay, steven ryan with the red cross introduce and thank you so much. thank you. israel meanwhile has called up some 360000 reservist en masse troops and tanks along the border with gas and to the palestinian territory, has been under siege in a near constant ground in air bombardment. israel says a senior, how master military commander has been killed in the air, thrice israel is believed to be planning

a major ground offensive. although no start time hasn't been announced. because let's take a look at the strategic implications of the war and, and how that ground defensive might unfold. and for that were joined by mike mike martin, who was a military analyst at kings college london and a former british army officer mark mike. rather, let's start on the ground. if you don't mind in terms of military strategy, what does israel need to consider as it prepares for this massive offensive? i think that's just the problem. it's not clear that israel does have a strategy. the type of rule that is trying to sites which is against the minutes include stats, embedded with civilians. these was always have political solutions of some sort. the ministry pays of a pot. the moment is why it is conducting a minute to freshen without any kind of political aims or goals. and so that's.
