palestinians. among those dead. , at least 13 children. six israelis have left. -- six israelis have lost their lives. the violence has come as a result of looming illegal evictions of palestinians from the jerusalem neighborhood. >>plumes of black smoke billower over gaza wednesday, the result of a relentless israeli bombardment against hamas militants the heaviest offensive since t gaza war in 2014. israeli forces confirmed warplanes killed several hamas leaders responding to a day loser rockets above tel aviv. among those killed were an israeli arab father and daughter struck by a stray rocket in the city of mott.

another israeli died when a missile hit a car clo to the gaza perimet. >>we have seen more than 900 rockets fired into israel. >>in gaza city, the devastation could be felt by residents. an israeli airstrike on wednesday killed three palestinian civilians. >>does -- this was a crime. a woman, her child, and a shop owner. the is worldly -- the israelis did not hit a militant just citizens sleeping in our homes. >>prime minister benjamin knocking who -- benjamin that iago warned israel will continue -- benjamin netanyahu warned israel will continue. the flareup of violence comes

amid protests over the possible addition of palestinian families in east jerusalem to make way for israeli settlers. tensions have been simmering for weeks. this situation deteriorated monday. hundreds of palestinian's were wounded in clashes with israeli place outside al-aqsa mosque. its already the worst outbreak of violence since the 50 day conflict of 2014. let's bring in our correspondent in jerusalem. what is the latest? >>it has been a day of retaliation. is funny or strange in a conflict like this that does not have a strategic aim. the sides want to punish one another. weave seen an israeli airstrike on that media building. then, retaliatory starbucks --

strikes from hamas into israel but, it s the strike on a building in surat that wounded a family in a reinforced womb does room. one of the children -- a reinforced room. one of the children has died. another is wounded and the mother is wounded too. at the same time, separely, there has been another option of chaos and attacks by jews on muslims and muslims on jews inside israel. we saw that last night. it has taken off again tonight. >>powers are calling for on. if there any chance of that? >>israel's security cabinet has voted to escalate the

airstrikes. that is on one side. on the other side, we have heard a kind of offer of a truce perhaps from hamas, from one member, but the others are talking tough and saying they continue -- intend to continue the fight. i think it will take an umpire to separate these two. >>that is my next question. is there a possible peacemaker coming over the hill somewhere? the u.s., egypt? >>the u.s. is sending one envoy, an undersecretary for palestiniaisraeli affairs. the objection the qatari's, there are lots of offers -- the egyptians, the qatari, there are lots of offers. i remember standing here, what it was like in 2014 and what it was like after that in previou

smaller rounds of this conflict. it is a feeling that it is a bloodletting. after a certain time, both sides are prepared to walk away. i do not feel they are prepared to walk away yet. >>the al-aqsa area. things seem to have gone quiet there. is that still a flashpoint? >>it may b i have heard that some people who were working at al-aqsa are angry at hamas for taking the focus away from them, shifting into gaza, when what they really want are there issues sorted. so, it will return to focus. it is always a focus. because jerusalem is holding to three religions and because of its -- holy 23 religions, it remains a focus. it is important all around the world. that's why we saw marches in turkey, morocco, jordan, lebanon.

that is because of the importance of the al-aqsa mosque. >>thank you. let's get more analysis. we are joined by a correspondent for the los angeles times. at this stage in proceedings, do you see any possibility of someone, somewhere, some voice in some other capital city, someone of the influence of great political standing on the world stage, somehow, way in -- way in -- weigh in on bringing this to a halt. >>i'm not sure anybody has the authority to do what you just described. but, i do have some hope for the egyptian emissary who just arrived to israel via gaza and who in the past in similar conflicts has really been the mediator. so, they have a lot of

experience and a lot of credibility with all three sides. this is, in a certain way, the israelis, hamas4 , and also the palestinian government on the west bank. all these are players. >>in terms of what is happening politically in the middle east, there is a political vacuum on both sides right now. i heard benjamin at 10 yahoos speaking earlier -- benjamin netanyahu speaking earlier about being determined to defend things. it isn't in some way cashing in on the situation? >>i am sure that your language is not harsh. i am sure that if he could cash in on it he would. i'm not sure how much leeway he has now. netanyahu has failed in four successive elections to perform in government. he still enjoys this image and

nurtures the image of being israel's only leader and the inevitable winner, the fact of the matter is he is not popular anymore in israel. what he has been successful at doing is preventing anyone else from taking power. so, right now, israel is in absolutely the worst sort of limbo with a caretaker prime ministerho was on trial for very serious crimes -- is on trial for very serious crimes and trying to sabotage his opposition. you are right that there is a dearth of leadership almost everywhere. i think we have seen the tragedy that we are seeing in israel right now. arson and violence by tiny minorities on side. but it is still heartbreaking and people are still living their lives -- losing their

lives, property, and health. for anyone who romanticize is anarchy -- romanticize is -- romanticizes anarchy or has dismissed what net 10 yahoos -- net 10 yahoos -- benjamin f yahoos -- benjamin netanyahu's attacks, i think they should look at the burning streets of israel today and look at what is happening. this is a tragedy. we need to have a government. >>the correspondent for the los angeles times. thank you. we appreciate your time. we are watching for development on the situation in the middle east. we will bring you all new things as they arrive. more analysis to come.

and why investors are anxious. >>the link cos down to intest rates. tech companies in particular enjoy an environment of low interest rates. the stock market is concerned that rising inflation will not be transitory as the fed is suggesting at the moment and in fact the fed may be forced to raise interest rates earlier than expected. this is one of the main factors that has driven the selloff we have seen in tech stocks over recent days. >>the eu's second-highest court has ruled against the european commission decision to seek 250 million euros in back taxes from amazon. in 2017, brussels found at giant was given special treatment that amounted to a legal state a -- eight in luxembourg -- aid in luxembourg. emmanuel mccrone has urged the international monetary fund to
