and became ground 0 for an escalation of violence. palestinian militant groups led by the terrorist organization. how much launched a massive assault involving of a $3000.00 to me solves 5 into his room. the broker background was accompanied by an invasion of terrorist. his loaded civilians until costs around 630 local time is well wakes up to a by roger real kits fired from the guns a strip. the terry screw, pama says it launched more than 5000 files in quick succession. most don't intercepted by israel. i and i'm defense field, but not toll. at the same time video released by hun mazda appears to show its fight is breaching, as well as high tech security fence more propaganda images as a must terrorist infiltrate. something is ro,

unprecedented attack in terms of its scale, as it captures is well of god. the full extent of the terror of being on least by him, us in his ray the towns and could boats is close to the buddha, isn't clear for several days. or israel released footage, which it said show time us by to is going from house to house monitoring people. i'm us also takes nearly 200 people hostage, the biggest single loss of life because as a music festival near the boulder with garza more than 200 young israelis and international visitors. a master could within an hour as well, begins caring out as strikes on guns and denounces a total blockade. the defense ministry mobilizes was of his prime minister benjamin netanyahu files, how mass will pay that book. it with you about this. so since this morning israel has been, or the 1st objective is to clear out the hostile forces that infiltrated our

territory and restore security and quiet to the communities that were attacked. even normally bustling televi goes quiet as what gets hit, the city is re, these are shots by the magnitude of what's happened. very, very 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 planted support of 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 a 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 up to. but the 7th is the blonde to use day for the jewish people since the holocaust, as the is when the government calls for unity. the country braces itself for wants to come. israel is found to eradicate the is, is limits, tara group. i'm all send is preparing for a ground offensive and gaza is ralph defense forces are some of the most advanced in the will, but there is a risk that like would get caught up in a protracted and 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 air strikes 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. must 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 close to 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 the 11th 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 also 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 get clear what is real long term strategy would be following a ground incursion. it's main ally, the united states has warrant occupying gaza with the mistake. and the analysts caution that invasions, like the u. s. wars in afghanistan and iraq and russia's invasion of ukraine rarely go according to plan. as well as the closest ally the united states has pending low make is approval for almost billions of dollars in extra funding. the 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, us dwight eisenhower is on its way to the middle east. it's the 2nd one, the pentagon incense after the us as carol, gar 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 the qualitative military edge. we're going to make sure iron dome 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 for effort, even as it continues to back ukraine's defend. but experts say tradeoffs are already made. one area that was something of a surprise is 155 millimeter immunization. that's also apparently being sent to israel. united states have pulled a lot of that out from its stockpiles and 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. 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 you 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've, what 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 apps and that are partners and allies around the world will feel that will feel the will feel the damage there for now. limited overlaps between is really and ukrainian needs. it means that us can make good on both commitments. how it continues to do so will depend on washington's handling of internal and external challenges. and these fast moving volatile situations. let's get more from our middle east analyst shawnee

terrace on is now a johnny. i want to stop asking it, does israel have a green lawn from washington to do as it's safe? it's? oh gosh, almost. i mean, there's one cabbie at which is a big one, a odd and blinking, and his people keep 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 the very growing discomfort among the american public isn't democrats, that support, fired from seeing the, the increase of, of crisis. you know, the military 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 are me 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 has been, was fun, and it could be due to american doubts and may be fears connected to that it's also effects american forces in the,

in the region of 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 us. i also have pose risks back the other way to israel. not much right now. these really is quite aware of their shortcoming. they know they need american support and they don't have much we can do. they are trying to tread very carefully between putting pressure on how much what we've seen it was more and more actions on gaza in order to maybe have more leverage into the hostage packages we want to get like a bit too many turing 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 for them, go back and allow a little bit, go back is what doesn't have too many good options. i'm 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 analysts, johnny presented. thanks so much. you're welcome. bye
