correspondent tanya kraemer in jerusalem. as israel widens it's ground offensive in guys, benjamin it's in yahoo says the goal is to destroy the military capabilities of how my son is control of the territory. and israel's defense forces have continued intense bombing. all the gaza strip, ignoring international calls for humanitarian c spy. communications in guys that have been knocked out entirely in the un, says people, there are in grave danger. chasms taking the day of a station close by is rails heaviest attacks us on gazda bombardment, flashing more homes, destroying some of the last re fusions for families seeking safety from the violence. israel says it's troops and now on the ground and gaza. and it's a quote new phase and it's war on the is the most militant group home us the israel

defense forces told gas and to move south immediately. but it's a warning meaning may not receive. with almost all communications to the enclave, knocked out the bumping of the telecommunications infrastructure places the civilian population in grave danger, ambulances and civil defense teams are no longer able to locate the injured or thousands of people estimated to be still under the rubble and civilians are no longer able to receive updated information on where they can access to minutes here on release and where they may be in less danger. and as the destruction and gaza intensifies those fleeing are running out of places to go. i'm drawing people want to leave con eunice. they're afraid of a dire situation. the bombing is indiscriminate. neither children or adults are spared,

and the women or the elderly and no one else lead helpful. socrates report more than 7700 people have died. so far and the attacks a devastating toll which is likely to rise as, as rails military pushes through the, into gaza, dw, corresponding and rebecca, which is in steroids in southern israel, close to the border with guys and she has more on the idea of the latest strikes or so it's hard to compare what's happening to not in terms of size. we know that last night was the biggest bombardment that we've seen this, this thought in the war. you can see perhaps not so well behind me now in the dark . it's also very dusty behind me, but just a couple of kilometers that way is the north eastern border. a city by noon just on the other side. and just in the last couple of hours, we're really in the last hour or so the strikes and the taylor and we would, if i have really picked out,

they'd be incredibly loud. we know that they using these bunk combusting bones that are trying to route out these tunnels. the full 1000 kilometers worth of tunnels that have must have underneath the gaza strip. they trying to target areas. it is also in there that they're incredibly, incredibly loud, and sometimes you can see the night sky and his lights off. it's really, really hard to imagine. it's hard to put yourself in the shoes of the people on the other side of that border who are sitting there in the dock who have no way of communicating or finding out information about they loves want loved ones and hearing these phones coming in and just wondering whether or not they going to be next. we know benjamin netanyahu saying that the ground offensive, and he confessed that the ground offensive is ongoing. they haven't perhaps announced it is the being the, the ground invasion that everyone was expecting. but troops have been on the ground is riley troops inside the gaza strip for around about 24 hours now. and it seems

that that tactic is going to continue benjamin netanyahu saying that the 2nd phase of the school has now begun. and that's certainly what we're hearing from where we're standing tonight. very loud, very big bombardments happening just a few kilometers behind me. there was dw correspondent, rebecca ritz's in stare of providence to nothing. yeah. who is also facing rising pressure at home to safely bring back the more than 200 hostages of israel says, how much is holding? many people feel these really and strikes are also endangering the captives on saturday. and as a young man with hostages family members, some of whom publicly support swapping the hostages for palestinian prisoners held in israel. the candles form the number 1400 a grim talley. it's the number of victims killed in this month. thomas terror attack on southern israel. how much also sees more than $220.00 hostages? according to israel,

but since we demanded that no action be taken, that endangers the phase of our family members. and the step considered to take into account the safety of our loved ones. how much controlled health ministry and gaza said is really strikes of killed over 7700 people, mainly civilians with more than 3500 of them children. my says it will release the hostages that abducted of israel freeze all the palestinian prisoners that it's holding rather since field the government has failed to consult them and give regular updates. this looks as if it's been 3 weeks and we don't know what's happening to our loved ones. we don't know their face and we're afraid we're worried. where are they? what's happening to them is someone taking care of them. it's wendy mccoy mason with a pretty band as israel steps up it's ground to solve inside palestinian territory
