a likely ground defensive. and they say everything is just happening at once. and to false that we'd like to have time to more to focus on the people who are being held captive, but also the hundreds of people have been killed, but kind of submitted things. and one thing that also stands out here, and these are recent pull that underlines there's a lot of people are frightened and concerned about their security and ease around, in fact, about 2 thirds of a population according to a recent full. and it just on clear just how that is going to translate out from new york in terms of people try to leave israel or stacy and just see how things are going to develop funding. thank you for your reporting. that's funny. such are for us in israel. a garza is how most run health ministry now says 471 people were killed in the explosion, which it is calling on is really massacre. israel says evidence shows a rocket misfired by palestinian militants, is responsible. both claims have not been independently confirmed this
