the bloodiest day to israel's onslaught on gaza our military strikes a res residential buildings through the ground killed dozens of civilians. fears grow that i gaza ground operation is eminent as israel issues a thirty six hour to me time to four months to stop firing also this hour. there's a whole raft of legislation which stops to show you what you believe we don't have freedom of speech or the tongue tied in the u.k. that's controversial laws that target people for saying anything which may be considered offensive even if no one is actually insulted.

twenty four hours a day seven days a week this is our duty i'm to bomb and say thanks for tuning in israel's escalating its offensive on gaza the number of deaths has doubled within the pas de and now exceeds eighteen almost half of palestinians killed are believed to be civilians mostly women and children with many more see it still trapped under rubble journalist an eyewitness harry fear brings us his account of what's happening in gaza should be aware that some of the images we're about to show are graphic. the death toll has risen here. as a right that is except a writes in. israel targets who it considers terrorist militants the taking of the hamas hamas as militant wing here in gaza is doing so in one of the most densely populated places in the gaza strip home to more than one point five million

palestinians yesterday was the deadliest attack since the beginning of operation pillar of cloud with too far too high number of children being killed we heard yesterday of the al the lone massacre in which more than four children were killed that is israel mistakenly struck a civilian building as it was hoping to assassinate the leader of hamas is a rocket launching unit between sunday and monday that has been gazans according another massacre of the family. of a five year old boy being killed a nineteen year old woman and a thirty eight year old with more than forty injured in that one of the most deadliest strikes here in gaza the most recent having visited the hospitals here for example love and the strongest hospital here in gaza. what we're saying is from a human point of view fifty percent of the people coming in at least being children crying for their parents as they come in with horrific injuries when i go to the

mortuary i'm seeing more than fifty percent of the people the children who are dead meanwhile israel says it might be hours are not days before it expands its gaza offensive its issued a thirty six hour all to meet him demanding that hamas is stop firing rockets at israeli territory a middle east correspondent policy has mall from tel aviv. those are the most ominous words we've heard so far that do suggest that the possibility of some kind of ground offensive could be imminent when we talk about the effects of what has been happening since wednesday in israel three israeli civilians have so far been killed rushed me around a dozen have been injured people have been talking about an imminent ground offensive since wednesday we know that roughly seventy five thousand reserve soldiers have been called up they and the regular army have been massing along the israel gaza border we have seen their movement of tanks and armored personnel vehicles for days now there certainly is

a sense particularly because the army has closed all roads around gaza that there is something on the go there have also been four straight days of what could spin fired into tel aviv speaking to people here in tel aviv something has shifted i'm hearing more and more israelis say that they are supporting a ground offensive that they believe it's the only one and only way that militants in gaza can once and for all be dealt with the problem though is that tel aviv is widely aware that if infected launches such an offensive it will lose international sympathy it's heard these warnings particularly from the government of the u.k. but israel is relying on the united states as it has in the past to back it up we are also hearing more and more many israelis voiced the opinion that they believe that gaza is on the not innocent and this comes from the point of view that we are looking at a rising civilian death toll in gaza what i'm hearing israelis tell me is that it is gazans that you make to the hamas government and as a result they want to live with the consequences this is almost

a justification for the israeli army getting of why are you so frequently in what it says all targeted killings that in fact when it lands approaching and killing civilians. israel iraq has also had a media compound in gaza where a number of foreign and local journalists were based six of them were injured as a result of the attack. channel was among those affected as one of its correspondents told us earlier. now had. no one expected this during the strikes power supplies often get cut off and then it becomes really difficult for us to find fuel for the generator i had that at that moment we decided to take a break in our work and go look for gas so that we can continue working early in the morning we left at around one am and added to it all have some of our friends are now in hospital just a little while ago there was a press conference where it was said that such an attack must be completely ruled out as a journalist can become targets for strikes a correspondent should share what he or she sees with the world even israeli

journalists report from gaza it's unacceptable that media workers get attacked in such a way in situations like this we usually don't go to our homes just like we did maturing that has deliveries of two thousand and eight in two thousand and nine even though we know this is really dangerous up to the point of a ground operation however we prefer to stay at the office using any chance to do our job whenever the electricity comes on and when the electricity was off we decided to go look for generator fuel and that's what saved us we're talking about four tower blocks in gaza that have been used by media outlets since two thousand but during the war in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine israel struck these buildings to death and some of our colleagues were injured and we know that we do a dangerous job. right for more insight into the gaza applied we're joined live from there but major from the palestinian human rights center joining us live from

gaza good to have you with us as we've heard in our reports and sometimes do you know in houses like being leveled with in time families being killed what else can you tell us about what's happening on the ground in gaza and. well as you said i'm working with the palestinian center for human rights and we have a team of field workers who were i was on the ground every day documenting the human rights violations as they occur and reporting back to us that yes there have been reports of family homes being leveled yesterday afternoon one family in particular that i can confirm was the family. has. confirmed reports are. family members were killed in that attack and their remaining two individuals under the rubble and rescue teams are still attempting to rescue those among those a skilless there were four women and four children and that includes a grandmother and her four grandchildren and the mother of those children. we hear

that hospitals are overcrowded and medical supplies are insufficient how drastic is the human need terry in a situation right now. yes it's very drastic a humanitarian crisis is imminent in relation to the hospitals and the supplies that they have i visited hospital on thursday which the second day of. this current escalation and spoke with the director general of the hospital there and he advised me that they. sorry. sorry we're just interrupted there on an ongoing basis. that. they are always short of regular medical supplies but now because the situation has worsened their lack of lacking in such basic supply. that's antibiotics i.v. fluids. very basic medical supplies that they require in order to keep this we're.

looking after the palestinian people who are being brought in continually injured and that really really wounded so this situation is very grim in relation to the hospitals. we just we just heard a loud bang behind you turn around you said you came by what's going on right now where you are. i'm actually not entirely sure they were just too loud bangs but i can't confirm what it was so i don't know at this point i'm afraid what was the feeling among the people the one of those gazans one do they want retaliation revenge will do they want peace. to the moment the majority of the palestinian people i feel in so far as i can speak for them. just anxious to have peace and freedom and the recognition of their right to self-determination they wish to be free palestine and to be able to live in dignity with justice and equality for human rights israel's right to expand its offensive within hours if hamas does not

stop firing how is this news received in gaza where you are. there is widespread fear among the popped out among the people here the prospect of a ground invasion is really very frightening for people because it's inevitable that the civilian casualties will rise rapidly if that occurs and we've already had i mean going by p.c.h. confirmed figures as of today we've already had twenty seven civilians confirmed dead and i'm afraid those numbers have gone off in the last twenty four hours if the ground offensive happens then those numbers will increase exponentially and people here are still traumatized by the memory of operation cast lead which happened less than four years ago in which more than eleven hundred civilians lost their lives and many many thousands more were injured so the prospect of a ground invasion really is very frightening for the people here. thank you given the schmidt from the palestinian center for human rights live from gaza do stay

a good provoking to debate so you would think that free speech to be protected and we be able to sell our opinions from the rooftops right. there's a whole raft of legislation which stops you so you know what you believe it we don't have freedom of speech anymore and one piece of blue in particular is is she section five of the public order act one this will close this causing big problems with a slower has been used for two particular why use forcefully to stifle inconvenient political views so views which are against islam against christianity which are against the quality of homosexuals so people who say that sort of stuff can be arrested the second way it's been used by the police. to arrest you if everything else fails they see being caught house includes someone who insulted scientology by calling it a dangerous cult and wait for it someone who called the police. and the

six hundred five of the public order there's no requirement to praise that the person intended any negative consequences from something they said are dead and only has to be likely to have caused offense so i could be prosecuted for saying or doing something even if no one was actually offended but the who's probably got a very pretty quickly these on the receiving end of this law has had to live with the consequences to court cases many of which are eventually thrown out as appeal not before costing the taxpayer a pretty penny i've been a victim to when i protested against islamist extremists who were advocating killing gay people and women have sex outside of marriage but i was prosecuted for this alleged crime to insult really in a free society insults are not nice but i shouldn't be criminal offenses when it comes to defending free speech many feel what we're actually talking about is protecting all right wolf. and to your sense of democracy your sense of democracy some people wondering around certain flopsy bunnies for bunnies and smiling at one
