a possible ground offensive and the who now make it that we will minimize the dangers to our forces in the next stages of the will land from today, we're going to increase their attacks. so i called on the residents on cause a city specifically to move south for the safety of those valued also. i don't got that border instead of astray. the minute to build up is visible is right. it has about to wipe out this thomas, specialist group from us after it's due to a storage and it's dry, clean, $1400.00 lights. but the flip, again, tours has been heavy brick more than 4000 people get in garza so far or meanwhile, there's also been a spike of violence in the occupied westbank and is really air strike has hit a most compound engine in refugee camp. according to israel security services, the building was being used by militants to prepare attacks against jewish settlements. several people were killed in the strike,

which is really forces said targeted a tunnel sheltering members of from us and the palestinian islamic jihad for more on the strikes and the occupied west bank i spoke to dw is funny for char in jerusalem. but basically i was just her that these are out as a truck. they are jenny in refugee camps, which is the strong closing on various militant groups including come us citizens. but also some jobs is a, is there ask for they say all the tubes are almost $1000000.00 is true, but also in west phase. now, because of the old, because of all of the socialists out on gaza strip, it seems almost like that to a everything is all the violence, but it's not inside the violence. clearing up in westbank over a month is nothing new, especially during the course of the past 18 months in the it's changes, a fire between is really and forces and amenities and all supplied westbank. and

just like it is the order is citizens what called between. if i a lot of people that have been taken to the streets, both the sympathizes of homeless submitted this but also those who just simply want an end to this violence. but nobody knows where that and when that's going to take place. because right now everything is signaling towards more escalation, basically this region just is right, but really the most of the surrounding countries just simply boiling just where is it going to go from there is the main question that was needed was funny for char reporting from jerusalem. as well, protestors have taken to the streets of tele views to demand the release of his really hostages being held in gossum. this follows the release of 2 american hostages on friday is really officials say a mazda militants are still holding more than 200 people. kids now during their terror attack on october 7th, is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he's not given up on getting all of the missing people back. now,

signaling no let out in the bun barman's casa we're not joined by is really military spokes person that peter learner. hello, and welcome back to the w. so we know that israel's drug garza again from the air overnight. this is now the 15th day in a row. what kind of target is the idea of hitting murder moran are? we are now in the day 16 of our sold again. come us off to the brutal massacre. over a $1300.00 is riley's men, women, and children, the production of what we know now to be at least $212.00. and there are still a 100 people that are on accounted for. so that number all could also come and go higher. so we are conducting al, strikes to gain some us the organization. it's been for structure where ever they have positioned it and indeed they have gone to

a great extent in order to position it within the civilian arena, pushing everybody in the golf street at risk when they decided to go to war with israel. they made a huge miscalculation on the response. always ready societies, specifically of these riley military. when they opened this war, we intend to many, well, you have been telling civilians in gaza to evacuated from the northern part of the enclave for their own safety. does these really army have information and how many people have actually left and how many are still there? so we have indeed now, 7 days been asking the people with more than going to have to go down towards the south. the south is safer than the north. how much is hard to be? operational is in gauze and city in the north of gaza that there is there between cost of their terrorist operations. that is the fortress of hate. we all now mobilizing the games that from the air mostly from the air. and indeed we've seen

a huge evacuation. i would say several hundreds of thousands of people that have gone supports us out with listening to us and not listening to how much you were trying to discourage the population from leaving based on the check points in order to prevent people from leaving and threatening people not people not to leave, so why we have been trying to get people out of harm's way. there's terrorist organization that has no regard for his writing, buyers to serve your needs, action shows that it has no regard for palestinian lives. they trying to prevent it . so there is a, around, i would, our system suggest that more than $700000.00 people have gone towards the south, which is good. it's is be safer in the south, although, you know, how much is operating and conducting stripe attacks. also from the south. continuing to jeopardize the people in the south. i'd like to ask you now about the situation on israel's northern border with lemond on. there have been growing

tensions there. what is your assessment of what's happening or so as we were just coming on, i just saw there was a fire and sounding again of mole. how has by line the move and living on have been escalating that strikes the games. our forces operating on the goals are all sort of talking civilians. and indeed, we are seeing what appears to be an attempt to divert our attention from the south to the northern arena with his brother. we have reinforced our minutes already defensive only know we've evacuated the town of carry out small now and then of the $32.00 different communities in order to get people out of harm's way and to be prepared for event to add it to that his brother might start to war with us. we don't want to have a war with living on but with his blocks, but we need to be prepared for that message to let them know that you are a suffering states. you have the responsibility of your tears, the territory, prevent his father from conducting a tax against us. a message to his father is a message of look very carefully. how are we of dismantling?

how much in the south v street be very thoughtful, if he wants to cross that threshold and be in a similar situation. we've also been reporting about growing unrest in the west bank, increasing casualties there. how concerned is the army that this is going to become yet another front against israel? so terrace, we've seen charged through the attacks in the west thing. increasing. we've seen a salma attacks and we've seen it where we also say more attempts to conduct more substantial terrorism from the west bank of staging ground against israel. and this is precisely the striking janine that you reported on just before um, before i came up. so yes, there is a, a concern for the step situation security situation in the west bank. i would say that it's not that the magnitude of the southern front bumper threats from the

terrorism that was conducted from the gulf strip. we have the very good gospel of this situation in the west bank for me in the intelligence point of view, but also operational point of view. and this strikes overnights against the i'm us and this, and the palestinian islamic jihad terrace heightening animals. so this is, you know, this is where they are within the civilian arena. it was just a realization of our operational capabilities against them and, and threats. that was a spokes person from the israel defense forces. peter learner many thanks indeed for speaking to w. good afternoon or well, benjamin natania who has been is really prime minister for a combined 15 years over the last 3 decades. he's by far the countries longest serving premier but also controversial and polarizing. he's presided over a series of coalition governments that haven't drifted further and further to the right. and in addition,

comes indictments for corruption. so how has he stayed in power and what will his legacy be? as i slammed citizens of israel, a ma, we are at war and is not in an operation or rounds, but at war come benjamin netanyahu as a war time later, a player on the world stage at a moment of utmost seriousness. but it wasn't always this way earlier this year. these were the scenes on the streets of tel aviv. some of the country's biggest ever demonstrations against proposed reforms to the judiciary. seeing is a threat to israel's democracy. now those reforms are on hold as our, the protests netanyahu has made a career of surviving a peebles and scandals that would have doomed many politicians, part of an identity split between seeking to make history and making deals to survive from day to day move. cuz i back because i,

after serving as israel's youngest, ever prime minister in the 19 ninety's, he returned to office in 2009 and quickly found himself butting heads with us president brock. obama. netanyahu had formed a coalition with parties that supported legal settlements in the west bank. he alive himself with republicans in the us, not only on settlements, but in opposing the obama administration, sponsoring of a deal with israel's arch enemy iran. the government's increasing right wing direction seemed to pay dividends. when donald trump came to the white house within a year, a trump recognize jerusalem as israel's capital, to the dismay of palestinians, far greatest ally the united states of america today. it's embassy open here, a big win for netanyahu. the trump administration also spearheaded agreements between israel and middle eastern countries, normalizing relations. meanwhile, netanyahu's problems at home are growing in 2019 who was formerly charged in 3

separate cases. he lost that election, but after 18 months in opposition, he was back in office to achieve a parliamentary majority. he entered the most right wing coalition. israel had ever seen the efforts continued led by the us to improve relations with saudi arabia and others. but it's now unclear when, if ever a saudi deal will be formalized, or dom and offensive in gaza. that results in mass palestinian casualties could on 2 years of diplomacy. through it all, phoebe has survived, but his hopes for a legacy as an international statesman have deemed after the mazda attacks. he formed a unit, the government, but it's not a long term solution to israel's problems. the government also faces an eminent decision on how to respond to the hosted crisis and gaza. a miscalculation could have tragic consequences. the question hanging over netanyahu now is whether the attacks of october 7th will be his end. or will he managed yet again to hold onto

power? and we can now speak to audi. caldwell this he is a political analyst and a journalist who joins us from southern israel. welcome to w. so nathaniel, who is popularity among these really public seems to be decreasing? why do you think that is which? well, i think we've seen during the last 2 weeks or so it completely incompetent government in israel. even if you put aside the great crisis that was caused by the surprise that, that the government has not been functioning properly ever since the war has started . and i think a lot of people in india is rarely public, are looking up soon if any are waiting to see his reactions as prime minister and are quite disappointed. no, that goes all through the political are it goes from the left to wasn't expecting a lot from nothing else to begin with. but i think it also goes all the way to right wing voters, even those who used to vote students and you know and are now looking at them. i
