in mediating cultures around the world, people learn to classify small handful of animals of edible, and all the rest of the classify as disgusting. w series about our complex relationship with animals. the great debate, what, you know, on youtube dw documentary, the time finish manager, welcome to the program, the following. 3 stories about the east, around mos bull, training and welfare. it becomes a potentially deadly reality for is rarely troops inside the gaza strip. at the rough uh, hundreds of photo and possible holders and dozens of in just palestinians across the addiction border to safety. and in the south lebanon,

thousands of civilians face challenges as the brace themselves. sort of feared escalation between israel and eat on fact has a lot but 1st the un secretary general has said he's opposed by the escalating violence and gaza and as condemned the kidding of civilians as boats bus . and for an tony advertise made the remark of the inside of bummed gauze as biggest refuge account for the 2nd day in a row. israel say is it strikes on tuesday and wednesday, kents do. how mosque them on does and destroyed underground military infrastructure strike hits causes biggest refugee camp for the 2nd consecutive day, displace palestinians, many of whom have lived in the densely populated jamalia camp for decades, pulled from under the rubble of what used to be their homes. the what is the fault and all the so gone.

my sister's house, along with her and her children. my brother's house with his children. i lost all my siblings except for my younger brother. these are all the names 15 names threw up the roll. innocent is the trim massacre, a complete destruction the u. n. has called the attack the quote latest atrocity to befall the people's cause. the devastation is nearly identical to news rarely strike the day before that killed dozens of people. israel has said that strike targeted to have mass military commander. the group is classified by germany, the you and the us as a terrorist organization. if you ship all sides was published yesterday, we eliminated the command of the deposit battalion. ibrahim bihari, he was a murderous terrorist. gunshot striking him close the collapse of the building of

the tunnels, the one to the camp, or this led to the collapse of the structures of it being them. even in most of the israel, has intensified it's offensive and gaza. that is really military, for least footage that shows the deployment of air and naval forces as well as ground troops carrying out operations into the strip. for game, when we're hitting the terrace, the old levels from those who fight in the field not to the level of compound is apple id like to give it to you at least the exposure of tunnels or finding a terrorist. thoughts over and heavy losses suffered by them do. unfortunately, there is also a price on our side as long as happens or in every bank called. well, israel says the fighting is killed several of its own soldiers. officials say the war will go on until their mission is complete. it is right. it has been bumping guys out from the air for weeks. but since moving into the territory with tanks and

troops over the weekend, it faces a different set. that up and welfare is there any photos have been preparing for this event trinity, but so have how must militants urban warfare? it's every soldiers, worst nightmare. the enemy could work behind every corner. but israel's military, given the long history of conflict with almost militants, has long been preparing for the possibility that one day troops might be sent in to fight in gaza. a concrete labyrinth full of hiding places for potential and bushes, which has proved dudley in the past. the soldiers have been drilled in what hosta house combat might look like at the idea of urban warfare training center known as little gaza at a site in southern is real now is really soldiers operating inside the gaza strip. are putting those lessons to the test as the inch closer to

guys the city. before the war, it was one of the world's most densely populated cities. the is really military, after ordering civilians to leave northern gaza has now designated the area about the field. the united nations, citing how master and local authorities says about half of i'll buildings and guys that have been damaged or destroyed ahead of a possible invasion. some people, including those unable to flee due to sickness or injury, remaining guides or hospitals. israel has accused a mazda of using hospitals as military headquarters and using civilians as human shields. and then there are the risks under ground. the terrorist group in the allies have built a vast network of tunnels and gaza. the tunnels are estimated to stretch hundreds of kilometers. it's likely the core doors could be minder booby trapped and mazda defenders will have the advantage of being more familiar with the subterranean web

of israel's army is aware that ground fighting inside god is likely to result in a high number of casualties or his real. i'm us and guys of civilians. i mean of a more context is a body not meet on. she's a full stop true research or in the wall studies department at kings college london . marina. there is really ami has seen action in guys before we didn't be facing similar challenges as it did back in 2014 for instance today. well, it might be facing those challenges from 2014. in addition to the fact that tomas had the time to develop its defenses to learn more about id s templates, how they operate. so i think today we're seeing a more prepared adverse or a who has, amongst other things,

human intelligence on the adf. and how idea is going to conduct this operation. so then we also see a proliferation of new technologies such as drones which will most likely be deployed during this conflict and deployed extensively. so i think the overall in wire meant that the idea will be facing will be much more challenging than that in 2014. and we have also seen that 2014 was not a successful operation for the idea. we just printed a report and read through the shoulder. is there any army or preparing for a combat in guys particularly, and it's a bunch of combat welfare and welfare training center and southern isabel. they call it the you from mystically, literally gaza. as far as we understand, so based on what you're saying, what about the training templates? they have had the sofa. do you think they are out of date or they would need to be updated as the army continues?

it's a operations in gaza. and i think what is important to understand before is having, as you said, that training camp little gaza is a benefit to training for urban combat. however, a training environment is always different from an operational environment and whatever you plan for is probably going to fall apart once you enter an urban area. because you cannot account for all the challenges, multi the right direction or challenges that will be facing the troops in gaza. therefore, i think on the one hand, how mass will probably know or estimate how these rarely troops will be the handling themselves on the ground. on the one hand, on the other hand, it is not just the preparedness of technical preparedness in urban warfare. there are also author components such as air and sea and space feeding into this. so

overall, the operation is much more complex and in order to train it in a training environment, it becomes impossible and very costly. so i don't think that anything beyond urban combat has been trained there and such as coordination of error or unable assets. speaking of ad and level as certain things really also guide and go to an extensive area. the bombing campaign in gaza is that also designed to assist with a ground invasion as well. um, the idea of this bumping compazine is to destroys a capabilities or as much of the capabilities come off have in the gaza strip. and obviously also to damage its um, underground tunnel network system. however, the effectiveness of these attacks remains to be seen. and we'll be seeing that when actual orbit come back begins because the panel network is very extensive

build of several layers. and before remember as a battle of mosul in rock, the flemish states had only 2 years to dig tunnels and the 2 about 8 months to make progress there. so um, how much have advocate or most un indicates to develop that system? and beyond that, the intelligence that the is riley um intelligence forces have the on those targets, needs to be updated because there might be new points, because how mazda is quite flexible, they will be relocating knowing that the israel is, will be using air power and they will be trying to maximize civilian casualties in where the took cert political and legal pressure on the east rally defense forces. so it is a bit of a controversial topic with the strikes bringing them and leave it there for the

time being. but thanks so much for joining us today. money numbered on from king's college fund. them. thanks so much. thank you very much. i'm pleased to $324.00 them passport holders left goes up to the rough crossing on wednesday, alongside dozens of severely injured palestinians. around 7500 photos are expected to leave over the next 2 weeks under the brook at by caught the, the annual besetty metals idle. and these were some of the 1st foreign passport holders to reach the safety of egyptian soil about a fee. on the other side, hundreds were hoping for their chance to cross, but only those on a list agreed by israel in egypt would be allowed to do so. after more than 3 weeks under is really been barred, meant and located. people here were desperate to escape. putting on we are relying on gone and hoping we'll get out to our country and we feel sad for it,

for its destruction, for our friends and loved one, the entire families were destroyed and a race had to all murdered. and if it weren't for what happened, we wouldn't lea a thought about that as well as those allowed to leave for good egyptian authorities have agreed to a small number of medical evacuations with ambulances crossing the border to retrieve the severely injured once in egypt, they were taken to a nearby hospitals for treatment, i've had because his own medical facilities are desperately sort of even basic supplies and are overflowing with the injured. and i got a, b i. and while more a trucks were allowed through once again on wednesday, a group say it's only a tiny fraction of what and 2 daily before the homos terrorist attacks. the head of the u. n's relief agency and gaza stressed that residents were an urgent need

after we crossed into rough up for a visit. and that was checked by the fact that everyone that was asking for food was asking for water. we, i, so almost every children trying to express their way that they need to eat. so you need to have 4 to i never, ever have seen something similar in guys when it came before after conflict. egyptian officials say more people will be able to leave over the coming days. but it's unclear just how long the border will remain open to foreign passport holders . what is certain is that unless egypt government, let's palestinians cost to for the vast majority of those trapped in gaza, escape will remain impossible. some 30000 people have had to leave their homes in southern lebanon due to intimate and fighting between minutes and group has put law

and the is really army base pairs it in, in bucks has bluff, could open up a new front against israel at the time. but it's already fighting against thomas in gaza. it's why is around, he's taking no chances on his board uh with lebanon. is trying the story to us on high alert dance, maintaining positions near the border with lebanon. and since the october 7th from us, that is that good news. i bought a class shift between astride and you know, i'm back minutes in the group. hesper law has become a daily occurrence. his blue eyes is rocky. the tax has scaled around 7 is dry. the soul just is trying to jones, have had his blood fight is in the southern lebanon's, rocky debt in an olive groves along the border.

dozens of his last fight as have been killed. many believe that she i to strategy so far up as to show question and getting involved in a full scale war with his right video. a so far i see that hezbollah is managing these issues with rationality and wisdom. and the rules of the game remain limited. however, when at the same time, i cannot assure the lebanese about anything, because things are subject to hezbollah as timing, even with widespread support for the palestinians. the uncertainty, if it costs of concern for many lebanese already dealing for one of the worst economic prices in the country's history, causing the people in the lebanese.
