the sense of relief is mixed with concerns the hostages still being held in gaza. luckily for us, there's a family. there will save 2 nights, but i must say that the job is not done. we are happy to day, but it's not always we, we did it when it just another step to was bring gigs or the other. how then it through default hostages back home. and it doesn't meant that it needs babies. women, men, answer people. everybody must come back as soon as possible. is rarely strikes, devastated punts of rust, the night. flattening buildings and destroying a mosque. dozens of palestinians were killed and many more taken to

hospital with serious injuries. we were at home when the air strikes were going on. i told my mother that i wanted to use the bathroom and she was awake. suddenly all the walls of the bathroom and all the water containers above it collapsed on me. most of the roughly 1400000 palestinians. currently in rough or fledge from other parts of garza. they were trying to escape the intense fighting and now the areas in the city was designated a safe so in to civilians by the x ray, the army reason is really strikes some rough or have eliminated any sense of security for palestinians. the so the sounds tell people that as a spokesman for the israel defense forces and early i awesome. if these really army has actually been gone, it's gone defensive and rough. uh and what a plan to achieve that. good afternoon,

a good heart indeed this morning we conducted a very unique special forces operation in russell. this is not the beginning of our ground operation in the southern town, but indeed it is. part of our proceeds to released the hospitals to bring the hostages, to bring each and every one of them home. and in order to dismantle and destroy from us who have established their strong holes throughout the gaza strip. in a way that jeopardizes safety and security to everyone. our operations are ongoing throughout the gaza strip this morning in front units of us are in the north. but no, this is not the beginning of crushing in ro we've got to talk about the ongoing operation in a moment. but 1st, i would like to ask you that these are the ami has a st fleet free to hostages a today that makes read that have been freed in raise. the majority of the freed hostages more than a 100 were released in swaps. joyce sees 5 that doesn't that show that that's more

effective, that alaric corrections have a tooth that goes and in mind festival, to release the hostages, to bring them home, to create the conditions, to bring them home. either for diplomacy or for operations as we conducted. and the hours of this morning, and the 2nd goal is to dismantle, enjoy destroyed from us as a governing authority of the gaza strip, a terraced entity, but as utilize the powers of government. so close to our perspective as we push forward and increase the pressure on the from us, we are creating the conditions for release, whether it be fruit, negotiations of diplomacy fall through the operational activities as we conduct it this morning. unfortunately, we have to ask ourselves to remind ourselves, perhaps better. we would not be in this situation or from us having adopted 240 people. and they're still holding this morning or this afternoon,

134 people. the families of these 134 people have been told to peace over the last 4 months. it's time for them to come home. every last one of them. let's talk about the civilian population. a in a rough uh, a more than a 1000000 people. a said to be the civilians at where should they go for shelter? a good thing, government has instructed the idea of to create a plan of operations in order to alleviate and evacuate civilians. if we do indeed, mobile mobilize. and i would say if the government instruct us to do, to mobilize and we will be prepared to do so as we have throughout this war, evacuated to people on mass. i'm from the areas of come back, the reality of the cost as well, but also sales is why are we conducting buffalo in the 1st place? we're just going to end this war tomorrow. all it takes is to release the hostages from us through on conditionally surrender. mm hm. so the steps are,

allow me to interrupt you the steps will you be taking to avoid civilian casualties? as i said once, the government, if the government instructs us to mobilize into the south and we will have, as we have in the past, kind of thought that a very elaborate and i would say unprecedented plans of civilian evacuation from the combat science is just how we've operated throughout the last 4 months. we know how to do it. we have done it in the past. if the government approves that operation or instruct stuff to mobilize, we'll know how to do it. now it's real, it's biggest out of the us as express it. clear opposition to a large scale operation and rough uh is that something you'd take into consideration? absolutely. we are very, very offensive to around lives or whether it's the us or others the what they're saying is we all taking it into consideration. of course that does not mean that our goals will not be achieved. there is no alternative to bringing the hostages

far, and there is no reality where how much remains a terrace benefiting a tourist government on our doorstep, especially just for the fact that they keep, they've promised time and time again. they've given the opportunity, they will repeat the 1st of these off the 7th of october. so our only room 4th is for how much to be crushed, to be removed from control and to get postage as far as a must have. and if we learned anything from this operation in the early hours of this morning, wherever they holding very hard and front end or mama, wherever they hold in, in a residential area on the 2nd story of a building where there are civilians around. when we mobilized in when we came without special forces, we breached the house. we went into the complex and a gulf. i broke out that was conducted extensive fire from old directions, from the southern end arena, against the forces. so we understand exactly how,

how much is operating, where they are pressing for and why have actually actually no regard for human life is riley protestant, the spokesman of voice mails defense, so forth is kind of a fee to learn a thank you very much. good time, not to have a little god to some of the other stories. making headlines today. cause how has freed age. india x, a naval officers of the previously dropping the death sentences they would jailed in 2022 on on specified charges. media reports say they were charged with spying for israel, and then we're working for a gulf based engineering and security services company, and sweet in a fight as broken outside to an amusement park and the city of golfing bird. no guest guess where at the most part, which was under construction and was due to open the summer hotel and offices nearby. uh, being you've actuated people, have been advised to stay in doors and keep the windows closed a government in the

greeks capital. athens has killed 3 people. the shooting happened at a shipping company where the suspect used to work local media say he had been laid off. the gunman was found dead at the seen police suspect he killed himself. western leaders have criticized donald trump for saying he would not to protect nato allies who are not spending enough on defense from russian to tax. the republican front on the trump said he had previously told nato states he would encourage russia to do whatever they want. if they didn't fulfill their commitments to the blog from us regularly lashed out to members of the alliance for failing to spend at least 2 percent of the economic i'll put on the use. foreign policy chief has condemned trump's comment, saying nature is not an alliance. when members can pick and choose their own rules,

that should be serious. nato can not be uh, i like got married. the alliance can not be an immediate daddy ally, that gorge, depending on the who my older prize. you know, the us on those days is not yes. now, yes. to model it. no, it depend. who are you? how come on? that's be cds. i off the w correspondent, terry schultz, about how all the natural members reacted to trump's comments as well. i think that they're, they're sort of in the middle between not wanting to react too strongly after all. this is just a campaign state statement by a man who has not been elected to office yet. and being very worried that it would give vladimir putin some impetus for thinking he could go further into nato territory. i think they will, for the moment come down as joseph bro has on this is not a serious statement. and,

you know, they may also give more credit to put in then that, that the putting himself doesn't take this seriously and doesn't. in fact, think that the united states would stand by and watch him violate the territory of nato. but i think one of the strongest signs that we've seen, that nato is not going to simply silently take this abuse from from donald trump again, is that on sunday, nato secretary general young stalls and berg came out with a statement, rejecting trunk comments, and that's highly unusual for the secretary general to respond to comments like this, especially on a domestic political process. and he said that this is, you know, not something that is, is realistic. he said that if there were an attack on nato, all allies would come to the defense of a country that's attacked. and he reminded donald trump that us soldiers themselves would be at risk if nato's article 5 all for one. and one for all were really put to the test now, which will be the countries hypothetically affected by trumps, swept snow still on a optical 5 as well. this is,

this is the ironic thing. the countries that aren't spending enough are not the ones along the border with russia. all of those allies are spending far above 2 percent. if you look at the baltic states, if you look at poland up at 4 percent of g d p. so the countries, the latimer putting wouldn't be closest to end and the ones where she often threatens are not the ones that are under that 2 percent of g d. p. a threshold. those countries are like canada, which is not likely to be invaded by russia or italy, or belgium. they're all spending way below 2 percent, but not really on vladimir, put in the front burner to that is totally schultz. that's off to us from brussels . thank you. and some sports news and american football, super bowl by the kansas city chiefs have defeated the san francisco, the 49 to win, the 2nd straight national football league championship. they have to come from

behind. however, san francisco school hold on a trick play early in the game to seize a 10 point, lee bought the cheese, then took over time to the light of one famous, tireless with fulton bank. patrick holmes then inspired the winning drive for a 25 to 22 trials in las vegas. sweat, glitter and sequins have taken all the realtors in a row as they city. she needs to brazil. some of the beats thousands of dances stressing this stuff, and rios accountable perfect. 12 different summer school, competing for the title of carnival champion. rates of the climax of the annual festival. each one telling a different story. this is right, paying homage to africa, brazilian, and indigenous history. you're watching dw, and even c as
