since how mass attacked. israel of israel has also issued an evacuation order to civilians and northern cancer, urging them to leave a head of an expected ground offensive is rarely official said to main roads. would allow people to escape safely and relocate south of the why the guys, a wetlands that cut the territory into. many guys have taken refuge at a un run school and southern gaza. at the same time, palestinians are grappling with a water shortage and shortage of medical supplies. rushing injure to hospital after an air in kansas city. 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 ahead of an expected ground invasion by israel. but the united nations is urging is real to revoke the evacuation order warning of a humanitarian disaster. they are calling for an end to this stage on data. and the passage of 8 our call now is uh for uh, one humanitarian pause is anything car doors face buses just bored at 8 to reach the children and families in the us to also the protection of children is, is paramount. and it's that's possibility of all pointed to the conflict. israel's army accuses her mass of stopping civilians from evacuating and stress that its target in gaza is from us terrorist and 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 and government 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 army, says it killed several terrorists trying to cross the border. lebanon as has beloved a militant group back by iran 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. and for more on that impending ground defensive in hearing about dw rebecca rivers is in the keen near the israeli border with garza and she gave me her assessment. i would certainly feels that way from where i'm standing make. i was here a couple of days ago, i've been back in jerusalem, but since i got back to that,

you can see the quite stock a upgrade over the amount of hardware and troops that are around this region. excuse me. it started raining here. when i was here the other day, there was a huge build up of hardware just behind us in this field today. when we came down here, you can see another massive build up on the other side of the highway. it definitely has the feeling that vis ground defensive, that everyone believes is going to take place. is there gearing up for it and it is going to take place soon. today, as you mentioned there in the late in their benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister visited 2 of the keyboards, says me, there it goes, this trip said, you know, with the seeing that those are risk crimes. from last weekend, he spoke to troops there and he said, be prepared with get ready. the next move is, is going to take place soon. so it definitely feels as though this ground offensive is what we believe is going to happen is going to happen st earlier. actually i. so what was the d 9 military vehicle coming across this right behind it?

sorry, it's very dark. you're not really getting me perspective there, but they are the vehicles that go in in the ground if those incursions 1st likely the way behind them of the tanks and then the troops. so definitely preparing for what could be an imminent ground invasion. okay, rebecca, as you're talking, we're showing our viewers pictures of benjamin netanyahu meeting troops, and we've also been looking at pictures of it is really strikes on northern guys are flattening the entire city blocks. it would seem, what can you tell us more about the safe passage quarters at the guys were offered to flee southward. well, that safe passage was supposed to expire this morning, was extended until 4 pm this afternoon. and as far as we're aware of that was carried out, that was a safe passage from here you could hear far less if any of old asteroids. normally when i was here the other day, boom, boom, reset heavy as drives uh, fully into gaza. you couldn't hear any of those this afternoon just in the last

hour or 2. we've heard them pick up again. we saw a couple on the horizon and you can't see them now, but there are a couple of fires. also burning on the, on the other side of the border in gaza. so the strikes picking up again, we had a confirmation from the idea that that was in fact taking place now in terms of the civilians trying to get out. we're talking about 1100000 people trying to move south. now they have begun to do so, but it's a complicated process. it isn't going to be able to happen very quickly. we've heard from the you in saying that it's something like that is chaotic and that's the most vulnerable people. going to not be able to carry out that kind of a move. we're talking about the same people, pregnant women, you know, elderly, the, that these people going to be stuck left behind. and the idea of how they use writing military has a, excuse me, the rain is getting very heavy. now the thing is i didn't know to you really have a duty to, to continue to protect those civilians. on the other side,

we also know that yesterday they were offered some sort of safe passage as well. and we were getting reports that around 70 civilians was struck by a buying a strikes. so there's a lot of fear among people. we also have been hearing reports that have most trying to prevent civilians from leaving the area. so only, oh we're talking about 1100000 people trying to move in a very, very crowded space down to the southern part of gaza. and it's not like it's not something that's going to be able to happen in a 24 hour period. ok dw rebecca, re rid or supporting force from southern israel. mike martin is the military unless at king's college in london he told me what israel would be taking into consideration as it prepares for a military offensive. so i think that's just the problem is not clear that israel does have a strategy. the type of rule that it's trying to sites which is against the minutes

include stats, embedded with civilians. these boys always have political solutions of some sort. the ministry pays of a pots, the moment is why it is conducting a minute to your ration without any kind of political aims or goals. and so that's, that's the big problem. and that's, that's something the is ro should think about, because it tells us how they going to conduct the operation, but also how they going to get out and finish the operation at the end of it. and israel has a mixed record, as you know, of using military force in gaz, a in the up killing many civilians and not actually getting rid of a mouse in, in, in the meanwhile there, are there any signs? do you think that they have learned or can learn from past experience this time around? i, i think it hits upon the most important thing, hey, which is the image real price and you need to discriminate between minute 2 targets and civilians. all good, so not very difficult to do whenever you have

a militant group, but also particularly in an oven area. i think over the last few days we've seen a one of the heaviest aerial bombardment said, i think the as well as ever conducted. so it doesn't seem clear to me that they have learned those lessons about avoiding spinning conversation. i'm not also sure with some of the rhetoric coming out to be as well at the moment. talking about lane seems to gaza is not clear that they are really attempting to separate millage thomas from civilian targets and moving away from the battle ground itself. what are the, what wider regional risks of the war between israel and how much do you think as well, uh how my says, uh may just phones, uh is of course, iran and iran has a web of alliances in the region with has belong to the north of his elbow, so with the syrian regime and of course with, with russia and started the big thing to have of course,

is that it wrong gets dragged into the war in a much more major way. of course, one of the things it appears how much this trying to achieve was to break down this so called abraham a codes between israel and saudi arabia and the en route. and that was one of the runs major goals as well. so there's a huge web stretching across the region, the critic nights as a result of this contract. so not to cause why. you know, the americans has sense a carry, a bustle group to the east submitted training because they have used that as a warning to everyone to just step back and keep the conflict contains. thank you, mike. mike martin from kings college london. let's take a look now at some of the other news concerning the conflict. how nice it says that 9 more hostages that was holding had been killed and is really air strikes on the gaza strip on friday and reported. 13 hostage tests also blaming these early

bombardments is really government believes up to a 150 hostages were taken during a terrorist attack a week ago. as egypt and israel have agreed to let us citizens leave the guys a strip through the roof of crossing the only entry point to the territory. not controlled by israel is really army struck the crossing earlier this week and says any use of it into egypt will be in coordination with israel, a shipment of age, the people of guys that has arrived in egypt from the united arab emirates. the plane landed at an airport near the rough of border crossing between egypt and southern gas, and turkey has also sent you monetary and aid as the israel. how must conflict enters and 7th day lebanon says it will submit a formal complaint to the un security council. over what it calls israel's deliberate killing of the son of july 11. he is national and reuters journalist abdullah was killed in southern lebanon on friday. well covering clashes on the border with israel. us secretary of state antony blinking,

has called for the protection of civilians as israel prepares for its assault on camera during a meeting with his saudi counterpart, prince vase, i'll been far ahead and re add to make sure lincoln said that while israel has a legitimate right to defend its people, it was vitally important to protect civilians and that the us and saudi arabia were working together to do so, lincoln also found his chinese counterpart, wayne e. 2 are begging to use its influence in the middle east to stop the conflict from spreading. generally of danco is a visiting fellow with a european council on foreign relations. i asked her how much influence saudi arabia has in this conflict to well enough to lots. if you look at the is riley science. i mean, that is the reason a lot of is ray, the commentators or officials and so on are calling. what happened on october 7th, our $911.00. and among the reasons is that these really governments re retaliation

or reaction frankly does not seem to be very rational at all. and that's exactly what happened with the u. s. government talk to 911. so it wouldn't be, you know, the, the saudis could possibly enticements in the out to restrains where they willing to offer, you know, and a continuation of that process of normalization of relations. but it's how give me a ready to life because there are business lumnick, public opinion worldwide is already quite so sort of an rage. so it wouldn't allow it to. it's already too late for that. and on the homicide. so good. yeah. consider how much a terrorist organization they have. those are the top leaders in their, in their own jails. and they have very limited relations. i mean, arguably, iran app is the one regional player would still have intact library. john, come us, i was just, you have done go visiting fellow at the european council on for relations and that

is all from us for now. coming up next as dw news africa after a short break. i'm the spicer for me and the entire new team here in berlin. thanks for watching the images. freedom of the online world. news koreans fled to south korea, where they realize their dreams of becoming social media. but then they disappeared without warning. need to recess as a north korean propaganda video. what happens from north korea with love starts october 25th on d w me.
