the the business digital, you news long from berlin, all eyes are on of order crossing between gaza. an agent talks are said to be under way about a truce to allow a trucks to enter gaza and foreigner, to leave. israel denies any agreement has been reached. also in the program israel steps of air strikes on god zone, alice danny, and say bombing over night was the heaviest since attacks began in response to a mazda, unprecedented massacre in israel. and the idea says how much more

hostages than previously thought it relieves is body cam. images of the rave. 9 days ago where the militants killed more than 1300 people. and now this kidnapped almost $200.00 of the welcome presidents of gaza are rushing towards the rough of border crossing in hopes of making it across the egyptian border. human rights groups have been calling for humanitarian ceasefire to allow safe passage both for aid and for people to leave gone. so egypt controls the russell border closed crossing the only passage in and out of gauze are not controlled by israel. the border was shut down nearly a week ago. these people are rushing towards the 5 border crossing,

hoping the gates will open. and there is no safety even when you're at the crossing . you're afraid that on our way to the crossing, they showed ralph as we came it thinking it was safe, nowhere is safe and gas or wherever we go there, showing crying, screaming and blood. we don't know what to do. we're coming to the crossing, knowing they won't open it. no 8 either. for 8 days. i swear to god, no electricity, no water, no internet. we can't communicate or know what's going on. i mean, seriously, this is not a life. media reports had prompted hope. the title might open its border for foreign possible, told us there is no conformation yet. and many people district to these guys that are willing to wait few belongings they've chosen and douglas and i came to visit my family. my sister, my brother and i just liked it for the next 7 days.

and i want to spend like 2 or 3 weeks with my family here and enjoy. i enjoy you and with that with, with the i can sleep matter. bob. no, it's a little more. nothing, no, no life, you know, life. i don't know. i don't know all the think. you know, most people all around the, they have like center you believe you're going to visit somebody to go over that unless you have a slip and fall this time. this is like the think there's not people here in this neighborhood. there's good, there's mac drive. as an, as be, do we leave on the gods of sight? each supplies are stored inside egypt. but egypt sees the border opening was not possible because of the earlier is riley air strikes on the gods. that site is

right denies, but any agreements on 8 or evacuation have been reached and with no definitive answers, the wait for many of those trying to flee might belong. journalist audio coupling with isn't television, we can talk to him. now how do you get to see, you know, earlier today there was talk of a possible humanitarian ceasefire, mostly to clear the roof of border crossing between egypt and gaza. those reports were later denied by both israel and how much, what do you make of this? as well, it seems like uh, some foreign countries are very interested in allowing that too many area and uh, fast to egypt to be open, to allow palestinian refugees the fleet from the gaza strip. as there is an understanding of the international community. that's what's happening right now when the 1000 strip is becoming a humanitarian corrected, and it is only going to become worse and worse for civilian. in the last few days,

israel told over 1000000 residents in the gaza strip. they have to play. so to the center of the gaza strip, to allow the idea of force to shell from us infrastructure in the northern part of the gaza strip without allowing this humanitarian cord or into egypt. that means that the most densely populated area in the world is gonna double its density without electricity, without water, and without fuel, just in coming days as to the option of egypt opening the border. we've seen that the addiction military has been the last 2 days, fortifying the roof of border crossing, trying to prevent palestinians from sling in the sign of being afraid that over 1000000 people might sleep in the peninsula. however, right now, it seems like the efforts are focusing on residents and citizens of foreign countries, american, germans in europe, and we're currently in the gaza strip and have a double passport. and for them, there may be a humanitarian cord or to escape the gun and slip this way or the other. it's still a little too early to know exactly what will happen and we'll have to follow

closely to see if some sort of a deal is a cheap between is rolling her mouth regarding that humanitarian port or yeah, the audio we learned today that how most of docs and 199 people from israel last week. and now how math is demanding. the release of all 6000 palestinian prisoners held by israel and exchange of these is rarely hostages. is these really government likely to give into these demands to free the hostages that were taken in israel as well? it's extremely hard to investigate how the hosted exchange will take place on one hand, releasing 6000 palestinian prisoners, all of whom were accused and found guilty of terror offences within israel. seems like something almost impossible. on the other hand, israel has never faced such a dilemma. in the previous prisoner exchange deal over $1000.00 people, including the current come off military wing leader. yes, yes. and we're we're a leased and exchange for only one soldier. so what sort of haggling power they'll

come? us have right now with almost $200.00. it's really citizens including children, old people, people who are injured, and people who are in great medical danger. right now. this is a new type of haggling power from us and no other palestinian party has ever held before on as well. and it's really quite hard to see how this unfolds. we have no past events that could even teach us how is real would deal with the proportionality of this sort of prices uncharted territory. there my so that was during the list of you couple of it's intel of you. thank you so much for the latest. thank you. more on the situation and gaza. now, as we've heard, israel stepped up as air strikes over 9, carrying out its heavy as bombardment since the attacks began in response to a most massacre of more than 1300. israel is israel. the military has again ordered more than 1000000 garzon to leave the north of the enclave and move south the head of an expected ground offensive or cause as much ortiz granado for space.

ice cream trucks are being used to store the dead bodies. the number of casualties is multiplying every day. the soft audit struggling to name the arriving victim with the device. these are the ice cream freezers. ice cream freezers contains so many bodies of the dead inside these trucks. these bodies here have not been identified since day one. due to the gruesome state, when i met the mythologies, bodies could not be identified. unknown bodies that should be honorably buried in the golf course. hospitals are, will event with injured civilians. as is right, continues it strikes and purpose for the income, offensive essential supplies like food, bother and clean water running shot in the sort of hospital in the

southern tunnel fun eunice, doctors have a struggle to treat patients and their fear many will die once and great dogs run out of tune about one day, my fuel, the whole system on the shunt though, you said that the cities would be the would be something that you would face. so this is ryan's defense forces. have one people to move from densely populated northern garza to the south. many followed the ultimatum and left but, but that impending had disaster and ongoing as strikes. this search for safety hasn't ended us and we can now speak to sign a lo, she's a spokeswoman for the norwegian refugee council. good to see you. now you have colleagues working in gaza. what help are they able to provide to people?

in the circumstance our colleagues in gaza at the norwegian refugee campbell have not been able to provide any assistance since all of this began on october 7th. the situation is just simply unsafe for our teams to be able to go out and access communities in need, provide them with the assistance right now, our staff is focused entirely on making sure that they and their families are, sees that they and their families have a roof over their heads that they have food to eat, that they have access to water. that is all that we as humanitarian can do right now. and that's why we need is real, to lift the total siege on the gaza strip and allow in the fuel electricity, water, food. and we need there to be humanitarian court orders, establish, and the, and the influx of humanitarian assistance into the godless trip. so that we can start to do our jobs as many periods and reach those communities in need. but we

need to have guarantees of safety in order for them to be able to do it. but in, you just today announced that it's preparing an air lift to um, to egypt for 8 organizations operating and gaza. now how confident are you that this aid will get through? because right now there are 2000 tons of supply stuck at the border. i mean we, that's why we need international pressure. we need in the international community to be creative and how they're going to get interested in the gaza. i know that there has been roadblocks, disagreements over uh, who can monitor the a to make sure that it is human to terry. and that's, that's going and we need the international community to work, work quickly to, to alleviate those roadblocks and help to let assistance get to decide to gaza. now, almost half of the population of gaza has followed is really evacuation orders and moved south. how big

a burden is there displacement for the already struggling infrastructure there in the north of gaza, where these people have fled from was the was the center of economic cultural civic life. that's where the institutions were and that's where the hospitals were. and really the south, the southern part of god that does not have the infrastructure, does not have the facility to accommodate that giant influx of people. my colleague yusef told me earlier today, and it's the 1st time he's ever seen homeless people in gaza because those domains are known for their generosity, their hospitality. he himself is being hosted by extended relatives in the south. but there just isn't enough capacity. you and that facilities have, are overflowing the owner. what has said this today that they don't have capacity to help any more. and that's why we need there to be uh, the assistance to, to reach inside of god that we need israel to reverse. it's

a order that palestinians flee from the north. we need them to be able to return those who still have home standing to their homes. it's just to humanitarian catastrophe. one thing that i should also mention is that the majority of hospitals are in the north and, and there are patients there who cannot be moved feasibly moved to the south both because it's difficult just to transport them. and also because there aren't the live saving a life saving equipment and facilities that they need. this also goes for people who have chronic conditions like that. and the dialysis if they have kidney failure, there just aren't facilities in the south to accommodate all of these people. now there for shelter, for health care, for water and for all the other infrastructure that's needed to help people survive . and all of this is happening before israel has even launched this widely expected, major ground offensive against thomas. how do you think, will this affect cause us civilian population?

once it happens, if it out, i mean, we're already seeing that things are catastrophic levels. the conditions on the ground are just and speak about their shortages of food, water, other daily essentials, and a ground operation is only going to cause immense civilian suffering. these are 2300000 innocent civilians trapped inside of the gaza strip. who have absolutely nothing to do with what happened on october 7th, and they are being punished for it. it's important to remember that more than that almost 50 percent of the population in gaza are children under the age of 18. these are innocent civilians that are paying a price for something they have absolutely nothing to do with china low from the norwegian refugee council. thank you so much for your time. thank you. israel's defense forces are some of the most advanced in the world, but even so is real faces of potentially long and bloody battle if it is to achieve

its goal of eradicating how months. take a look at some of what they've been preparing and recent days is we all began massing military forces along the border with gaza shortly after the almost terror attacks it has mobilized 360000 reserve. us is realize since carried out hundreds of air strikes on what it says, our targets in the gaza strip and an ordered more than a 1000000 people to evacuate the northern part of the territory, including guys, a city ahead of expected ground operations. much of the gaza strip is surrounded by a high tech security barrier is real build. once troops get inside, they'll be caught up in urban work. they're intensely built because of city. experts predict the fighting will be very costly, both for soldiers and civilians. how much is estimated to have some $30000.00

biters, many of whom deposition to themselves among civilian infrastructure. the, the terrorist organizations has also built an extensive underground network of tunnels thought to stretch hundreds of kilometers. the labyrinth has been used to smuggle in a stockpile of weapons, including rocket propelled grenades and anti tank missiles. and the tunnel as could be being used to hide from us as hostages. israel has vowed to eradicate home us. previous campaigns have failed and the terrorists ability to launch rockets into israel. but it's not yet clear what israel's long term strategy would be following a ground incursion. it's main ally of united states has weren't occupying guys, that would be a mistake. yeah. and analysts caution that invasions like the us wars in afghanistan and iraq and rushes invasion of ukraine rarely go according to plan

. william collins joins us now. he's a retired colonel for the us army who is now a military analyst and executive director of the madison policy form and national security thing tech in the states. colonel collins good to see you. now, israel's ground defensive against him. us could start any minute. now, how complicated do you expect it to be considering? it will take place and one of the most densely populated places on the planet. i mean to be extremely difficult. if you look, i mean historically, right battles and urban areas are, are they, they, they set up troops, they take a lot longer than they think they're going to take. they're very complicated. it's just the train is so complex. and on top of the complex to the train, which includes right superstructures going up many stories into the sky and in probably hundreds of kilometers and tunnels, or tens of landers and tunnels underground as you, you're going to have civilians, even if they try to evacuate them historically 10 percent don't leave because they have know where to go. yeah, that was something that i would like to touch on

a little further with you because even in an act of self defense as this one, israel is bound by international humanitarian law and obligated to do everything i can to protect innocent civilian life. how can not be done under such extraordinary circumstances? yeah, mean it is extremely challenging. i mean, the 1st move is to try to get them displaced, as many of them as possible, right. and, and just taking them out of the battlefield with that's got complicated by the fact that her boss is trying to put them there as human shields. and that's how whole masses, consistently operated. so who boss is trying to prevent them from moving, putting their own civilians at more risk then they would otherwise be at. so the 1st, the 1st part is trying to get them out of the air as much as possible. and then you can control which weapons you try to use where you engage him and try to try to do that with minimal destruction of damage as possible. but if you look, you know, for lose your ramadi morales, the other cities around the world back move in ukraine. i mean, typically 90 percent of the structures can be damaged or destroyed in an urban battle. so it gets very, you know,

destruction is just terrible. israel has bound to crush a mass, but what exactly does that mean even at the top brass of the infrastructure or to be wiped out, the extremist ideology may well remain to yeah, i mean, politically is the thing to say that they are going to destroy him off, but it's not realistic that they're going to do that with a campaign right here. i mean, that's something they've been trying to do for decades and they haven't been able to do some of the underlying, you know, the root causes of the, of the conflict. i mean, those aren't just gonna go away with the military operations, so without a doubt, they're going to target key leadership, key supply nodes, keep logistical things, anything of that age, or which will severely degrade home us, but they will not be capable of destroying it. so what would mission accomplished? look like then what could happen next? didn't mission accomplish what it, what it looks like is, is, is setting back a mazda set your level that they're not capable to conducting an operation like

this really ever again. and that's kind of what the goal is real to be, will be to do that in. but that will be, you know, a very dangerous in, in, in costly operation into gaza. that will, it will be a challenging operation. as i said, the am collins military analyst and retired use army criminal. thank you so much. thank you. israel has ordered its residents living within 2 kilometers of the lebanese border to evacuate the area as well. it comes as cross border class has intensify. at least 2 people have been killed in israel and at least 1111 on sunday . the militant lebanese group has bla, said and fired missiles into israel, as well as military says it responded with strikes on southern lebanon, and also accused regional power run of ordering. he has the lot attacks, essentially to increase israel has boosted its troops along the border with 11 on a new

a secretary of state antony blanket has returned to israel to consult with officials over the conflict with him. us blinking isn't televi for the tech. the 2nd time in less than a week after visiting several other countries in the region. in recent days, a blanket has met with leaders from jordan, saudi arabia, and egypt as part of diplomatic talks to prevent the conflict from escalating further is been meeting with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as well as president isaac hurts ok, and there war captain we, we know you, our correspondent stuff on simon's is following all of this from washington for us . a step on the secretary lincoln returned to israel today, after a trip to several countries in the region. what else he achieved as well? what do we all like to know? nobody knows what he has achieved yet because well, i have to tell you this is very much, it's still a work in progress for anthony blanket for a secretary of state and for this fight and administration on whose behalf is of

course, doing this blitz, this travel blades to, as you said, countries like egypt, saudi arabia, jordan cuts are abu dhabi and of course, egypt. and why is he doing this? because the u. s. is pursuing a 2 dimensional at least 2 dimensional progress. see, and that is number one, preventing the expansion of this country. it repeats preventing a, a widening of this conflict to become a regional, real regional here or conflict, meaning level not involved you, ron, involved his ball are involved, all those involved. maybe that's the number one. number 2 is the schuman to tear and effort to you. human, to turn 8, and really where all the human to touring car doors for 250 americans. and guys are trapped in them. and in guys are who can't believe guys are. so through a x, a draft, the rough i x, it's a to what egypt for example. um,

but what about all the others? palestinians living and guys are not from us palestinians who flee into the south and where, where do they get aid? how do they get a decentralized letter? i think this is what the, the secretary of state blanket is working on at the moment. and this is not the end of his trip. apparently he's going to have another stop over and jordan get does indicate that there's something concrete in the works of the wall. i wouldn't speculate on the spot for sure. uh it is basically the merry go round. it is a jerusalem, it is trying to get a reading on where jerusalem, where the nets and y'all, administration stands going forward with this. how they can coordinate with the un, how they can coordinate with the americans, and then go to the error partners of the united states. jordan is and if you will, and l i or a partner in the middle east for the united states and confer with them. so it's

this shuttle diplomacy which is absolutely in the eyes of the americans necessary to a, again prevent a bigger conflict from being happening here or going to happen here and be to afford some tribute to turn relief. not just for americans, but for all the students in the gaza strip were in a very dire situation right now. yeah, 7, unfortunately, we don't have much more time. but maybe in briefly, can you tell us how confident people in washington are that the us will be able to prevent the conflict from spreading? i don't think that anybody in washington is going to qualitatively, are meant to talk about this. i think there's a lot of, uh, eyes on the, by the administration how they handle this. and as you know, just a quick side note, the republican part of the g o. p at the moment in their desperate search for a speaker of the house is in a bit of a term also there is less pressure coming from that side on the,

by the ministration on the issue. at this moment. the w correspondence, different assignments in washington. thanks so much. it's always now a quick look at some other developments and the conflict in the middle east. german chancellor off shots has confirmed he will visit israel and a show of solidarity following him off. terror attacks shows will fly to israel on tuesday, making him the 1st world leader to visit the country. since the attacks, the chancellor will then travel on it to egypt to assess the humanitarian situation in the gaza strip. i assume lenses to triple issue. many european union has said and plans to launch a humanitarian aid cord or to gaza via egypt. european commission president was the left on the lines as the 1st flights to egypt will begin later this week. she says the, the, you will also triple 8 for civilians and gaza to 75000000 euros to keep work and a ship evacuating us citizens from israel has left the 4th of high fall for cyprus
