the strength to keep them while they was sweeping innocent children with the father and grandmother. while they was sleeping. what did they do? do they carry weapons? these are innocent children who know nothing. when movies and we've been in a room for years and people are just watching history ones, it would increase it strikes on god. so, as it prepares for the above, the 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 myself. so this safety thing because i think that this valued also around god's us border instruction is right. the minute to build up is supposed to put it straight. it has about to wipe out this thomas, specialist group him 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, kate and gaza, so far. meanwhile, there's also been a spike of violence in the occupied west bank and is really airstrike has hit a mock compound in jeanine 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 that targeted a tunnel sheltering members of her moss and the palestinian economic. g. hungry over more on the strikes in the west bank i spoke to dw is funny for char in jerusalem. but basically as the just her that either out as the truck they jenny refuge account, which is the strong causes of various militant groups including how much that it is . but also it's not a job is, or is there asked for, they say obviously tooth out. how most $1000000.00 is true,

but also in west phase. now, because of the old, because of all of the focus out on god, it seems almost like that to everything is all divine and it's not inside the violence. clearing out in west bank over a month is nothing new, especially during the course of the past 18 months. they've been, it's changes a fire between ease, really influences and amenities an occupied westbank. and just like it is the older, a citizen swat called between. if i a lot of people that have been taken to the streets, both sympathizes, are pharma summit. it is but also those who just simply want to enter 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 and that was the w is funding for char,

reporting from jerusalem as well in israel. protestors have taken to the streets of tele views to demand the release of his really hostages being held in gaza as follows. the release of 2 american hostages on friday is there only officials say how mazda militants are still holding more than $200.00 people came out during their terror attack on october. 7th is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he has not given up. i'm getting all of the missing people back. oh, signaling no let up in the barman because he's really air force drug garza again, overnight. i spoke a short time ago to is really military spokesperson, peter learner. and i asked him about the targets. the idea of was hitting murder miranda. we are now in the day 16 of our sold again to come us off to the brutal massacre all over a $1300.00 is right. these men, women, and children,

the abduction 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 all strikes to gain some of the organization. it's infrastructure, where ever they have positioned it, and indeed they have gone through a great extent in order to position it within this of any of the re not putting everybody in. the goal is strict at risk when they decided to go to war with israel . they made a huge miscalculation on the response of his writing societies. and specifically all these really minutes are 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 have more than gone have to go

to 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 parts of their terrorist operations that is the fortress of haines. we all now mobilizing the gangs 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 to was this out. we're 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 virus. most arguing it's action shows that it has no regard for palestinian lives. they trying to prevent it. so there's a, around, i would, our system is 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 effects. 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 limit on there have been growing tensions there. what is your assessment of what's happening as so as we were just coming on, i just saw there was a fire and sounding again, a mole. how has by line the move and living on have been escalating that strikes the games. our forces operating on the bulls 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 molding arena. with his brother. we have reinforced our minutes already defenses only. no. we've evacuated the town of kerry optional 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 attitude that his brother might start to war with us. we

don't want to have a war with living on 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 target territory, prevent his but from conducting attacks against us. a message to has above is a message of look very carefully how we have dismantling, how much in the south v street be very thoughtful, if you want 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 charts through the attacks in the west thing. increasing, we've seen the summit attacks, and we've seen it where we also say more attempts to conduct more substantial terrorism from the west bank as staging ground against israel. and this is

precisely in the striking janine that you reported on just before. um, before i came on, so yes, there is a, a concern. so the steps, situations 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 a 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 hiding in the most. 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 in france, that was a spokes person from the israel defense forces. peter learner many thanks indeed for speaking to w. good afternoon or benjamin to ton,

yahoo 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 have drifted further and further to the right. and in addition, he faces several indictments for corruption. so how has he stayed in power and what will his legacy be? as i say, and citizens of israel and we are at war and if not in operation or rounds, but at war come or benjamin netanyahu as a war time later, a player on the world stage at the moment of, of no 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 seen as 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. because i baptized, 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. his 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, the 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 is real and middle eastern countries. normalizing relations. meanwhile, netanyahu's problems at home or growing in 2019, he 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 do here's of diplomacy through it all baby has survived, but his hopes for a legacy as an international statesman of didn't. 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 in 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? so wine does an attorney on whose popularity appear to be dropping. i put that question to political analyst and journalist audi costs of it. well, the thing 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 b as rarely public, are looking up soon if any are waiting to see his reactions as prime minister and are quite disappointed. know that those are all through the political are it goes from the less do 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 just doing it then, you know, and.
