one knows if she's going to make it. doctors tell me they've been dealing with the biting shortage of medical supplies in gaza for the last three weeks as a result of the ongoing siege but even civilians that survive the violence suffer the mental effects of living in a war zone our bed lives in a neighborhood of shaikh road one that was targeted last night. while we were sitting by the entrance when the first missile hit the house of the second one soon followed on and we carried the sleeping children out and run away the children began screaming through fear. it's been a traumatizing couple of days for the civilians of high newness in the south of the gaza strip to during its operation israel says that it's going after hamas militants those alleges are hamas militants however it's willing to go as far as targeting their homes and in this case israel killed six children and two adults

when it struck this family home the family didn't have time to heed the warning drone missile which arrived four minutes before the main strike. we were shocked when a missile hit my brother's house after we hurried out our house was hit by the house was a children's playground where most of the heat's game that israel has made clear that it's not interested in restraining its operations so long as hamas rockets. continues it's a recipe for further conflict and inevitable suffering for gaza's civilian population perry fear gaza. world leaders arjun and so the violence in gaza moscow says the spilling of civilian blood should be stopped as soon as possible there are similar calls from france with the french fries then calling for discrimination and for civilians to be kept safe and president obama has offered to broker

a cease fire house continues to fire rockets at israel such now of bomb alerts across the country and our policy is in solving it. but we've witnessed is how mass rocket fire from gaza into israel continuing since tuesday when this operation began there have been some five hundred rockets now in one of the worst attacks a pickle station in the israeli city of ashdod was hit and one person in that incident was seriously injured and the other three rockets were fired at israel at northern israel from lebanon so there are growing concerns that the violence could escalate and if we could ultimately be looking at some kind of full scale war at the same time israelis are becoming increasingly afraid you have sirens that are sounding throughout the day i can tell you that here in tel aviv when a siren goes people panic people rush from the cars people rush to bomb shelters or stay cases although often it's just a few seconds where nobody really knows what to do now with me i have gideon levy who is economist with the highlights newspaper gideon thank you for joining us how are israelis feeling amid this is collating violence there is obviously
11:06 am
a sense of fear but they're seeing this iran dome system made it much easier for most of these railways as we can see that until now we have to touch woods there were no israeli casualties the former mayor of sylow the israeli town say it and i'm quoting the only way to win this war is to destroy the enemy without excessive regard for who's a soldier and for who's a civilian do many israelis feel the same way this is the most fear in the beginning of every military operation and it's becoming worse and worse from work aeration corp because israel is becoming more and more militaristic and they should really stick another question to the dogs who want to smash the hamas will do singly come instead of the hamas the government of luxembourg i mean the people who lost any kind of logic or racial nearly thirty people are now reacting emotionally
11:07 am
one can understand it but these kids notes influence the decision makers because this is really their will. right now when this emotional turmoil is taking place. the i.d.f. accuses hamas of use an innocent people as human shields and gaza while critics say israel bears the responsibility for the killings peter lavelle's gas and cross all clashed over this particular issue and here's a quick preview of the debate and you can watch it in full later on r.t. . it is when you when. one innocent people are in harm's way unfortunately regretfully sometimes or hurt you're reading from the wrong script you're learning from the script from the two thousand eight hundred nine war israel hasn't even gone away. not enough is enough are going to continue we need enough for those. scripts now using the human shields script
11:08 am

11:10 am
who can help the world to get it. or no way out of the hospital we made him drain who just dropped his wife here this is where she was sitting you can see one bullet here in the water another stuck somewhere inside the metal part and drays still in shock and conned believe his wife survived the whole mizen i was in the shop and i heard someone scream lay down on the ground but i yelled that my wife was in the car so i looked out of the window and saw that she wasn't there and heard her knocking on the shop door. but that's not enough to switch it so did a lot of his just moved with his family from the suburbs of la guns into the city's south to skate fighting between anti government forces and the ukrainian army first and go slow i don't know what to say but why are they doing this to us civilians we
11:11 am
asked the operation commanders in kiev what they're trying to achieve. the main goal now is to act carefully so civilians won't get hurt or that we don't have any definite numbers of civilian casualties we only have the numbers of dead and injured fighters of the anti terror operation the same day equines deputy health minister reported four hundred seventy eight civilians have died since the beginning of the operation in one pro including seven children but just hours later the ministry denied his statistics without giving any turn to figures we meet with the health minister of the self-proclaimed people's independent republic of the guns. at the aircraft siren starts before we even osco first question. we have to continue the interview any basement. perhaps an earring in there yet i can't give any definite numbers concerning civilian casualties because
11:12 am
many people died while we couldn't get to them so i don't have the statistics of ukrainian media doesn't say anything about those casualties so they are not allowed to show that or they believe that only terrorists are dying here i ask whether they tell kiev about the civilian casualties. no one requested this information or no one is interested in hearing us that i even have statistics on the ukrainian soldiers but they have their own numbers so you know no one asks us about ours the districts. and while neither the gun skokie of know exactly how many men and women and children have been killed the civilian toll is holly and it's likely to rise. in eastern ukraine. and we'll return with more news after of our short break here on artsy international.

i. welcome back to our international now we continue with the relations between berlin and washington which have been dealt a blow after the top cia officer in germany was ordered out of the country this song reaction came after two high ranking german officials were unmasked as alleged u.s. spies anger over the snooping is widespread the german interior minister dismissed information obtained by the alleged spies as laughable but said the political damage is serious and of party member expressed outrage saying there is no longer blind trust in the u.s. and the justice minister has the mind of the u.s. spy in germany be stopped once and for all artsy spit all over has more from berlin . sent packing a with a flea in his ear and. i just want to say that if you see it was human common sense
11:15 am
in my opinion spying on allies and friends is a waste of energy. germany has now told the cia contact at the us embassy in berlin to get his things and leave. for the first time after a series of spy scandals this is a strong message from the germans that they've had enough of washington's behavior you know that experience or foreign intelligence services isn't something we're taking lightly but it took a whole string of and biasing snooping slip ups to get to this stage paint a picture of an abusive relationship in june of last year it emerged that the u.s. had spied on its european allies prompting this response from the chancellor spying on friends is not acceptable then it was revealed that mrs merkel's private cell phone was bugged by the n.s.a. washington promised not to do it again but refused to sign
11:16 am
a no spy deal. still wanted to talk trade and rebuilding of trust between the transatlantic partners flash forward to april of this year when germany's request to see the chancellor's n.s.a. file was turned down even then i'm glad merkel was content to stand side by side with the u.s. president as he again spoke of their close friendship but the discovery of two potential double agents in germany and as many weeks and a lack of cooperation from the u.s. with the investigations looks like the final straw and it will be interesting to see what effect the expulsion of the cia official will have on an already strained u.s. german relationship now that berlin has shown its willingness to act peter all of a r.t. germany. publicly at least so far washington sas kept quiet about the diplomatic growl and state department spokesperson jen psaki avoided the given any comments
11:17 am
when asked about it when the german will show the media report showing what would you mean by that are you deny journeymen alleviations. going on. all i meant by it was that we've seen the reports we've read the report so i'm not going to have any specific comment on it given its purported to ensure you see. i'm not going to have anything more to add on that front freedom of information act as the anybody at. the top intelligence official as a drastic step that sends a strong message is kinds of measures are actually only done for a pariah states like north korea and so forth this is a political earthquake you could call it there's going to be serious ramifications i mean. maybe the treaty ip trade agreement might be at risk i think that the political climate here is at a very critical. point in time and people want solutions they want answers they
11:18 am
want their elected officials. holding them to account and to protect their rights their constitutional rights and i would suggest that that. that in the coming months i think we're going to see more of this sentiment yes indeed. russia's president vladimir putin the way then on the scandal signs spying on allies was over the hypocrisy he also said it's a direct violation of state sovereignty and an infringement of human rights. groups and spoke about the spy scandal before such knobs on his loan this wealth and time and this thenceforward trip later on will take a look at where he is and why. our online team is working twenty four seventh's to bring you the very best stories and pictures out r.t. dot com let's take a look at what's proven popular this hour. an australian judge says if attitudes towards homosexuality can change so can sub use about incest incest and paedophilia
