enquire, richardson, welcome. united nations as the humanitarian situation in gaza is growing more desperate by the hour. you an agency that overseas aid for palestinians says it storage facilities and calls that were broken into with thousands of people taking food and other vital supplies. the agency calls it a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down. meanwhile, these really military size, it hit more than 450 targets over the past day and that is increasing its troop presence inside gaza. it is the 23rd deal fighting in gauze. there has been no let up and it's why is that tax? and it has now declared garza city a battlefield. the scale of the destruction is blaine. to see with the we want the war to stone. we lost our loved ones. our relatives are

children. all my siblings and their children are gone. but hundreds of homes and buildings in trouble. there is hardly any place left for civilians to seek shelter by temporary communications blackout only added to the suffering of thousands when he gets come on instantly she was in a we could not check on our relatives and have you get down to the depths and i let him know, since we've been calling them to check how they're doing them and i live with that from. but last night we couldn't be sufficient. the people in the streets have become lifeless bodies walk at, let's say i went on here and they seem to share this. ryan has begun ramping up its ground operations prime to so benjamin netanyahu said the water and gauze off would be difficult and long, long, but it is friday evening to go more of our ground forces entered into

a gospel as of the stronghold of her muscles to most of their show, this is the 2nd phase of the war and its goals are clear, some of the destruction of the military and govern mental deep abilities of homosexual to new york and bringing home to hostages. the fema bike to this right has been telling civilians in northern garza to seek safety in the south. but many cousins fear they might never be able to return to the homes. journalist has ample issues reporting from gaza. he told us earlier about the winds, comments that people there have broken into warehouses in search of food in my area . can we so um, uh, people are looking from somebody who military in a, in, in a warehouse into which i excuse myself. and according to the owner, uh that like they where the folks and people started to go to it because

and they los safety and they lost the communication and they felt like they are isolated. and they want to uh, to guarantee some, some, some east, a food then a was journalist, has on pollution speaking to us about the humanitarian situation in gaza. and we have our corresponded rebecca rivers for us. and so rock close to the goals of border and southern israel, rebecca, it's really prime minister netanyahu has announced a 2nd stage in this war. uh, do we know what that will look like this larry? it's really difficult to understand exactly what's happening in the 2nd phase. of course, we know we made that announcement last night and we've been saying now since friday night an up taking the bombardments friday being the heaviest, bombardments in the 3 weeks of this war. now the ground invasion, also beginning on the so it has been baldwin's, and now that to entering it the 3rd night, we know that that has intensified today. the troops were voted on the ground and

that they going further and deeper into the kansas triple this ground. incursion, so it is bigger than anything we've seen in the laid out there were sort of isolated raids in the weeks before this new invasion in this 2nd phase was saying that that is ongoing and continuing and growing. although it may not be the quite a big round incursion that everyone was talking about, perhaps expecting, because of course, is around is dealing with to mail it to ames in this, in this war. and that is, of course eliminating her mouse and it's, it's capabilities. it's military type abilities, while at the same time, it's just at the moment saying some rockets launched. actually, we haven't seen many from this area today, but you can say those rockets being launched from casa, they're behind you. it's quite hard to say in this light, but the border is going to be a fee for us. it takes a fee for us. um we will come back to you if you can,

but 1st of all, please get to a safe place. okay, thanks clear. thank you, rebecca. so be checking on her and our team and making sure everything is okay for now though, we're going to speak to marina moran military analyst, case college london to get a bigger picture on this. marina, welcome id is real defense forces say they've struck hundreds of targets in the past day and expanded their ground operations. but this does not appear to be the anticipated ground invasion. everybody's been speaking about. can you explain for us what the difference is that a good evening? well, 1st of all, we have to understand the reasoning for this. a 2nd phase of soulful tech and faces we've just heard him is in the israel house is to destroy him off. so these route knows how difficult this operation will be,

and israel officials has been in touch with us. officials discussing the specifics of silk ration and difficulties at the us forces held priest in the rock, such as during the battle of polluter in 2004. and this is something that israel is seeking to avoid. knowing that it will need its forces perhaps on the border with lebanon. and so what we're seeing now is unfolding operation. so before that we have seen these rarely rates in 2 garza so the soldiers will the enter and then leave. and right now we have 2 points of entry in the noise and in the middle of the gaza strip, we're east riley. heavy equipment in is crossing the border and the soldiers as they are to see the assumption is that this ground phase will be escalated gradually. depending on the need because there is also is a problem, was a tumbling system. tomas house as well as was the hostages,

which limits the capability of israel, the military to conduct this operation as they would have done without hostages being present. i'm right. i'm curious to hear more about your assessment of how mazda is current to military capabilities. so we'll have to understand that from us is of course, our number is compared to the israel in military. it has its military wing, has about 30 to 40000. it has um tanks, it has um artillery. it has more attorneys. however, the advantage that some of has is not in numbers, but in knowing the terrain. and of course, and having international supporters um, such as iran such as hospitalized or sympathetic to home office cause. so i'm asking to capitalize in technical terms on the expanse of tunnel and that work in ga so which one would have mass knows billy, up of the bonham. then on the other hand,

her muscles and no se throw in is receiving a lot of international criticism. and pressure, um, so how much is also capitalizing on that politically? so we'd have to understand that it's not just about military strengths of from offset a house, but also the position that enjoys in the middle east and how different countries are supporting it or am or on thank you so much for that update as when we're on moultrie analyst at kings college, 110. thank you for having me, us. and let's be to our middle east analyst as shown here, as honest with me in the studio for more background shawnie. welcome back. firstly, and what are you hearing about northern israel there? of course then concerns that we're going to be seeing a new front opening at the lebanese border. correct? that's the, that's the fear it israel from they one, especially after the we've seen the ground evasion starting 2 days ago yesterday was surprised when i kind of come today. we've seen a escalation more and more rockets being fired from live and on israel retaliating

with a especially broken. i mean of the outreach of his belie attacks on israel, deeper into his real territory beyond the, to 3 kilometers on, on the what is now the buffer zone, but actually used to be a settled is a settled part of as well. now most of people living there has been evicted, so no, no casualties, but they wrecked hits at some houses that we've seen. and the assumption is real, that this is going to escalate, as you know, as things progress further and further into cause that is really is talking about maybe to putting a siege or getting into gaza city. so we will probably see more of that and northern front of incorporation with that, getting more and more active, bringing more israelis into the fire, you know, under fire switch from his paula into south of lebanon. and another area of concern at the moment is of course, the west bank, the united states national security advisors warranty netanyahu. he must reign in settlers in the west bank after instances of violence against policy. and you know,

we've seen over the weekend some instances, we also know about himself said that in a talk to the media earlier this week, we've actually been hearing tonight that within is really a security apparatus, the ocean that had the head of the, of the, the police are, are warning that they are seeing more and more attempt bicep. there's just sort of insight violence to sort of we use this back the attention of the world and of these are the security forces is not focused on the west bank and trying to, it'll be a bit more of a, it's a good seat in their attempt and at attacking a palace thing is of course, this is what the last thing is real needs the minute the west bank west with thanks, fires up, you know, as a 3rd fund that will be a lot of trouble for is really security forces. we need to stretch not on over to funds, but 3 funds that of course, something israel does not want to see happening within israel itself. how if we seen this whole war play out among israel's arrow communities?

correct. this is a very good question. you know, israel has about 20 percent of its population that has as most of it is, most of some of them are christians. and we've seen that the previous round of, of attacks with him. austin 21. that's the need result was a flaring up of, of cities inside israel, inside the what would we say they literally uh, acknowledge borders of israel placed like just the hi fi ca, cities that are mixed cities that have lots of arabs, lots of, of jews. they've been incidents of ads against jews attacking each other and, and, and the other way around, lynching is terrible things that we've seen to everyone's surprise and quite relief . we don't see it this time, but is real. this of course, keeps, it keeps an eye on that. one of the biggest problems as the minister of national security is very extreme right. subtler he's a member of attorney. i was original cabinet. he's been busy in the last couple of weeks just handing out the weapons in mass is claiming this will help is really

secure themselves as, as lessons from the attack of october 7th, there's a lot of fee also among american officials that we know are helping the idea of what supplies with fear of where this a weapon might end up being and will it be, you know, we were just talking about the set. there is him being a representative of the seller. will it end up, you know, backfiring literally and, and causing more trouble for israel in the mix communities and in the west bank the best so, so know another front um which by the way, how much they much wanted to, to see. and it's quite disappointed to see that the arrow is really, is add 48. i'm not joining in solidarity the fight that the that is going on and gaza. that's fascinating. thank you so much for that analysis. that is course on yours, on us with us in the studio. we appreciate it. we're gonna go back to our correspondent rebecca rivers in a star rock close to because of order and southern israel. rebecca, glad to see your ok there. after having to take cover of incoming rocket,

fire uninterrupted, our talk earlier and i wanted to ask you, it does seem like we've been able to get back in touch with the gaza, with phone and internet connection. what are you hearing from your sources? were there so that's right, and you spoke to, i'll call it hasn't pollution or a little earlier in the program knows communications channels have now being restored. a lot of people still struggling to, of course challenge their phones and all that stuff with no electricity. they're having to go and borrow electricity or find people with solar power in order to power their devices bought that internet blackout. so that communications blackouts that would last for about 36 hours has now been restored. i mean, obviously the fear among the people who are already living in darkness and, and, and just being here and constant as strong as coming in and not being able to cool their loved ones. we were hearing reports. and certainly once we were able to get more information out of guys and we were hearing reports of ambulances and not being able to find where they needed to go,

having to literally see the plumes of smoke, see where the strength is and try and get to that area you can have some outgoing attend refi here from me is riley. so i'm going into the goal is to follow in the rockets coming across a little earlier. thank you so much rebecca. i stay safe. that is rebecca rivers for us installed in southern israel. us, and that is the end of our show, but you can find this online at z, w dot com. thank you so much for watching the eclipse someone else through the cd. hi, lots of selected for you. you every week. a new a box subscribe. now. base up level out from g is do you see in the middle dasha because i'm such a organizing reconstruction to the new houses and.
