territory and restore security and quiet the communities were attacked. even normally bustling tel aviv goes quiet as well, gets hit, the city is re these a shots by the magnitude of what's happened. very scary situation. you know, many people have died already and we hear about people being kidnapped and taken either from the military base or even from the home and hostage situation, which is still ongoing now. and obviously garage of rockets and attacks from the sea. so it's very scary, right? now, as well as most powerful ally, the united states quickly planned to support the united states stands with israel. we will not ever fail to have her back. we'll make sure that they have the help their citizens need, and they can continue to defend themselves. my administration to support for is your security is rock solid and on waiver. let me say this is clearly as i can. this is not a moment for any party hospital,

the israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage. the world is watching. october, the 7th is the blonde to use day for the jewish people since the holocaust, as the is randy government calls for unity. the country braces itself for wants to come as well is bound to eradicate. this is liz terra group. i'm off and is preparing for a ground offensive and gaza. is ralph defense forces a some of the most advanced in the will, but there is a risk that i would get caught up in a protracted wolf is real began massing military forces along the border with gaza shortly after the most terror attacks. it's mobilized $360000.00 for service. israel has since carried out hundreds of airstrikes on what it says or targets in the gaza strip. and it ordered more than

a 1000000 people to evacuate the northern part of the territory, including cause a city ahead of expected ground operations. much of the gaza strip is surrounded by a high tech security barrier is real built. once troops get inside, they'll be caught up in urban warfare and densely built cause. a city experts predict the fighting will be very costly for soldiers and civilians from us fighters, film, tear and gauze. my gods, the refugee camp in july are set to be around 30000 strong. many of them stationed among civilian infrastructure was the terrorist organization has also built an extensive underground network of tunnels thought to stretch hundreds of kilometers . another palestinian militant group islamic jihad released this footage of a labyrinth last year. it's propaganda video shows it's been used to smuggle in

weapons including rocket propelled grenades and the anti tank missiles. and the tunnels are being used to hide him off as hostages. israel has vowed to eradicate him, us, the previous campaigns have failed to end the terrorist. the ability to launch rockets into israel. but it's not yet clear what is real, is long term strategy would be following a ground incursion. it's main ally, the united states as warrant occupying gaza would be a mistake. yeah. and the analysts caution that invasions like the us wars in afghanistan and iraq and rushes invasion of ukraine rarely go according to plan. as well as the closest ally the united states has pending low make is approval from us to billions of dollars in extra funding to east around the countries on done defense shield will also be reinforced with 2 extra systems protecting the skies when israel called the united states

responded this aircraft carrier, the us s. dwight eisenhower is on its way to the middle east. it's the 2nd one, the pentagon sent after the us as carol dar ford and stripe groups deployment in the eastern mediterranean batteries for israel's iron, doom air defense system. and additional munitions are included in the us is supportive response to the white house has requested $14000000000.00 from congress to israel in its fight against some of the security package. i'm sending to congress and asking congress to is an unprecedented commitment to israel security that will sharpen israel's qualitative military edge, which we've committed to qualitative military edge that we're going to make sure iron don't continues to guard the skies of razor. we're going to make sure other hospital actors in the region know that israel,

stronger than ever and prevent this conflict from spreading. there are few doubts that the world's largest military super power would be able to help foster israel's war effort, even as it continues to back you cranes defense. but experts say tradeoffs are already made. one area that was something of a surprise is 155 millimeter ammunition. that's also apparently being sent to is really united states have pulled a lot of that out from it. started piles in israel some months ago. sent those to ukraine of israel like that was back. the problem is that the inventories there are very short. so every artillery shall we send israel is when we cannot send ukraine's artillery. shell production is being wrapped up in the west. but several open possibilities could trigger further adjustments the prospect of a wider regional conflict in the middle east, or both wars going on for longer at a time of congressional spending squabbles. and we are operating on a, on

a temporary spending authority that could go out in a couple of weeks here that is slated to go out in a couple of weeks here. with, you know, we need to be able to place orders in defense industry to replenish our own stock files that we've given to your credit. and then we have a crucial partner in israel that's facing a serious crisis that will require us to simply spend more just to build back up what we have for we've given to israel already, but also to maintain a consistent amount of support there seem to have a function in congress, and so i'm quite worried that that absent that our partners and allies around the world will feel that will feel the will feel the damage there for now limited overlaps between as rarely and ukrainian needs. it means that us can make good on both commitments. how it continues to do so will depend on what washington's handling of internal and external challenges in these fast moving volatile situations. let's get more from middle east analyst shawnee russ on is now at

shawnee. i want to stop asking it, does each royal have a green lawn from washington to do as it see fits? oh gosh, all most. i mean there's one cab yet, which is a big one, a bite and blinking. his people keeps saying is what leads to play by the rules you know, we expect as well to allow as many to an a to come in. we expect fuel to come in. we, we see they're very glowing and discomfort among the american public. isn't democrats that support by it? and from seeing that the increase of, of crisis, you know, the inventory costume going in in gaza. and why didn't know was he needs to be attuned to that? we see his people that are watching very closely and helping these really army also ask tough questions. what did you end game? where is this heading? it could be the reason who we have not seen the grand ground invasion. that is what it was but, and it could be due to american doubts and maybe fears connected to that. it's also effects american forces in the, in the region to quite direction. we've seen any rock we've seen, it's what a hoot isn't human and so on. and from the is riley perspective,

then do those relationships with the usa also pause risks back the other way to israel. not much right now. these really is a quite aware of their shortcoming. they know they need american support. they don't have much, we can do. they are trying to tread very carefully between putting pressure on how much but we've seen it with more and more actions on garza in order to maybe have more leverage into the hostage packages and want to get like a big too many tiring release of several dozens. at least of the kids and the children, but then at the same time, they know that while doing that, they're also risking a, you know, the situation with the america. so they try to push but then go back and allow a little bit go back is what doesn't have too many good options and trying to bring, you know, this all of these ends together in an intercom. easy way. it's a complicated situation for israel, utilities, middle based analyst, johnny bruce on his thanks so much. you're welcome. bye 6. button. that's all for
