leave their homes so it does seem as if some kind of a strikes are being planned there late on tuesday the first israeli victim was killed in mortar fire he was a volunteer delivering food to soldiers along the israel gaza border since that truce was broken there have been some one hundred rockets fired at israel a quarter of which have been intercepted by the i'm anti missile defense system and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu now says he has no option but to expand the operation what's not clear is whether or not this will mean a ground offensive and certainly for days now the mood on the ground has been that a ground offensive is imminent the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman who is known for his hawkish views is now calling for the israeli army to quote him to go all the way he says that the only solution the only way that israel can deal once and for all with hamas and islamic jihad is to completely control the gaza strip now seventy three percent of israelis were against the truce that was
3:03 am
brokered on tuesday by egypt most israelis want to see an expansion of this operation but analysts that i've been talking to here on the ground are warning that any kind of expansion will ultimately be very costly for the israelis now harry fear my colleague in gaza has been catching up with people there who are under israeli rocket fire and fall does this report. egypt sappho its to facilitate a cease fire but he got off the starting block israel formally accepted the proposal but hamas continued firing dozens of rockets saying that it's times were not met the islamic resistance movement says it never received any direct contact about a cease fire and only so media. reports the accuses egypt of sidelining it all the while in the middle of this truly asymmetric conflict between israel's advanced coordinated modern military and the palestinians disparate militant groups are the civilians on the receiving end even those in gaza's hospitals five rockets targeted
3:04 am
this hospital in north gaza but palestinians also have their own crude rockets which are not targeted and i find indiscriminately into israel not all but certainly most palestinians in gaza believe the hundreds of these crude rockets should be fired into israel in retaliation for israel's targeting of gaza. the imbalance is evident over one hundred palestinian civilians have been killed in eight days compared to one israeli civilian there are no bomb shelters in gaza although the desire for a cease fire is universal how people here want but a chief is certainly not clear. land no fee to build up ha. ha. ha ha ha mother don't hug now that's. the subtle of. a moment always over the meal i thought we ever had the love of money

3:06 am
it's only just a tool that the palestinian can react to what gets me. this killing and suffering for everybody i really do care about my children about my family above the safety of my family so i don't like the rockets but sometimes the people obliged to do you was what's available to them in order to do. in order to resist the occupation. but both sides in this escalation insist they're acting in self-defense and neither is known for wanting to be the first to back down no matter what the pressure at home or abroad carry fear r.t. . meanwhile people around the world have shown their disapproval of the israeli operation here the latest pictures from places as far as field is south america and europe pro palestinian demonstrations are held on an almost daily basis at gnome's
3:07 am
and they are calling for an end to the offensive labeling it a massacre and a war crime. and you can get a full picture events in gaza this hour in cross talk with peta never. be take a look at the last sixty five years it's pretty clear that israel is intending to continue to bomb in destroy as much as possible in gaza i think it would have been aved to expect the cease fire would these talks would lead to anything since we have on one hand who works for the israelis or the americans and we have given it and you know really has no motivation no intention to stop terrorizing and stop this brutal violence against. the palestinians in gaza. now a one hundred billion dollar development bank has been born in brazil a result of the bric summit that's underway there at the moment the new financial institution is to challenge the west financial sector monopoly to the benefit of the five emerging economies artie's poor scott is at the summit. russian president
