russian checkpoints come under fire from the ukrainian side just as european security observers were monitoring the crossing the same attack also reportedly hit a family home. more graphic scenes emerge from residential areas of eastern ukraine working with troops are tightening the noose on anti-government strongholds with combat near the malaysian plane crash site casting a shadow over international investigation efforts and. now under un school is hit in gaza at least ten people are dad as israel steps up its air attacks while redeploying ground troops along the border.

and i'm asking you what your teacher national with me wearing a joshie welcome to the program and european security monitors have witnessed an attack at a russian border crossing with ukraine a shell reportedly damaged a residential home on the russian side let's get more on this from our correspondent going off you were at what do we know at this point about this incident well it happened on one of the checkpoints on the russian ukrainian border and indeed a group of always see observers were at the checkpoint at the time along with border guards and customs services officials and so many a show had detonated thankfully no one got injured but the federal security service claims that the shell came from the ukrainian side and there are also reports that another show had landed in a village nearby also on russian territory and this isn't the first time that

russia that area comes under fire as the fighting in eastern ukraine continues and this definitely only aggravates the situation since one person the order being killed. why well in a similar incidents another shell came from also be ukrainian side and we have heard statements from several senior russian officials including before the minister will say that so far moscow has incidents that's what they're warning about if it will be established that these are deliberate attacks of that russian navy was the response using military perhaps as well. ready or thanks so much for bringing us this update and of course we are monitoring the situation there as this is indeed a developing story there. the ongoing finding any string ukraine is hindering the probe into that m.h. seventeen plane crash later on we were on the situation in the area surrounding the

site of the tragedy as well as on the escalating violence in the rest of the region . now there's been a fresh attack on another u.n. school in gaza style at least ten people have been killed according to palestinian officials that's despite earlier i.d.f. signals that it's winding down its operation along the border the latest from our middle east correspondent policy or. this is a facility where thousands of people were seeking shelter so decided likely that among the casualties are going to be women and children as of yet no official comment from the israeli side but it does follow a similar incident back on wednesday in that particular incident some twenty people were killed when these radios shells hit a nother un school we hundreds of displaced people seeking shelter the israeli response to wednesday's incident is that it is investigating it there have been

harsh words from the united nations which has said that they have repeatedly informed and warned the israeli army we civilians are using the facilities for seeking shelter but as i say we are waiting to hear from the israeli side regarding this latest incident it certainly follows a when you will are fighting what we know is that at least thirty gazans were killed in the early hours of sunday morning this is as israel resumed its strikes over the towns of russia and in jabalya it follows harsh statements made by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on saturday night he said and this was an explicit warning to hamas that they would pay an intolerable price if they continued with the airstrikes netanyahu saying that the focus of the army and the ground forces inside gaza was still to destroy tunnels but that even when that was completed they would continue to ensure that gaza was militant free and that israel south would be safe for citizens and that's responded by saying that netanyahu his

comments were a declaration of failure and defeat and that they believe that they were an attempt to raise them a roll from among the israeli army now israel has also if he did kid did a soldier that when missing over the weekend there was an incident on friday when two other soldiers were killed when a mass suicide bomber blew himself up after the emerging from a tunnel that the israelis were trying to destroy at this stage it doesn't seem as if any of these renewed cease fire efforts that are supposed to be taking in cairo will bear any fruit we know from the israeli side that they have said that they are not the same thing a delegation to the egyptian capital. israel claims the safety shelters being used are filled with weapons but u.n. says it have repeatedly informed the i.d.f. that hundreds of refugees were sheltering there at the time of the strike journalists at a u.s. state department briefing pushed for an answer over who should bear responsibility

for wednesday's attack on a refugee facility. you see that you can show. who's showing are we talking about if you will we understand the anger has put out a statement of views that we would underscore the importance of a full and prompt investigation to determine the facts so you are not ready to condemn israel per se for the shelling of the school correct we have said that there needs to be a full investigation to see what happened here but specifically are you asking the israelis to not make any u.n. facilities a target because there are civilians that are seeking shelter there i'm not going to make a blanket statement at least what i'm going sometimes it's ok i'm not saying that i'm just not going to make a blanket statement about what our private conversations with the israelis look like even if there are rockets inside and i'm not saying they should be used against israel and i'm not saying that should they should be gotten rid of i mean they should but ok even if they are her rockets inside does that justify the killing of innocent billions civilians who have seeking shelter obviously nothing

justifies the killing of innocent civilians who can show he can really damage for destroying rocket in a u.n. facility we believe the u.n. neutrality should be respected and recognized by everyone we understand it's complicated to understand. look there's a lot a lot of different pieces happening on the ground and quite frankly a lot of facts we don't know yet. well a palestinian delegation now was due to hold true stocks on sunday in cairo with senior american and egyptian officials but israel says it sees no point in sending any of its negotiators lieutenant colonel peter lerner a from the israeli army told me that the i.d.f. is only responding to persistent militant rocket attacks and sort of continues to be threatened by indiscriminate rockets that are launched by hamas to israel even as we speak even during the continued days as we've seen in the last three and a half weeks and they have continued to attempt to attack us through tunnels and

indeed we had the incident on friday when two two soldiers and then a third were killed in an attack coming out from a tunnel and this is a repeating occurrence hamas which has hundreds and hundreds of militants are utilizing exploiting the civilian arena just yesterday i have an indication of a number of school that for eleven times during the day rockets were launched from a specific location so it's a huge challenge it's something we are facing but indeed we are determined. that any enemy isn't your response a bit disproportionate prime minister netanyahu says hamas rulers would pay an intolerable prize if they continued to fire rockets at israel and that all options are on the table and we have this huge civilian death toll among palestinians so what options do you think prime minister was talking about when he said that every single time hamas has had the opportunity to deescalate the situation with a cease fire every time they've escalated it there would have been no more people

killed if hamas would have abided by the internationally brokered cease fire on friday but what did they do they chose to escalate they chose to increase aggression they chose to exasperate the situation and this is an unfortunate outcome but we cannot and we will not. be willing to live under this type of threats. now the campaign which is called protective ad is the deadliest israeli offensive in years while more than four hundred palestinians died in operation cast lead back in two thousand and eight this time around manny more lives have been lost it's already past seventeen hundred in a barrage that shows no sign of ending and time soon.

was that. for the first now before attacking gaza with rockets israel drops leaflets instructing palestinians to leave their homes and take shelter but many people don't have enough time to flee or simply refuse to do so harry fear spoke to palestinian medics who work round the clock in overflowing hospitals. it's hard to fathom how such a boss devastation can occur in three weeks of fighting. thousands of homes damaged or destroyed tens of thousands and turn the displaced and went over a thousand killed inside gaza's main hospital in its burns unit are a small fraction of the surviving injured. city is old. israel is demolished the house of this family. so we deceived

her mother two brothers with beds. this morning. this woman is a very severe condition she is she presented to us about five days ago with her son and her husband her son and husband died with severe burns and she's still surviving with a very critical condition the doctors and nurses here look as stunned as the civilians who survived in heavily bombarded areas it's hard to imagine how the medical staff can cope with these truly horrendous cases a human being if i see whole family the killed under the rubble of their house the house. and these people and all the families killed. in one of the instances i have a child here he was all the time claimed all his family's you'll since father his

mother his brother is a grandfather and all the time he's crying he wants his mother so i closed the door of my office and i said crying those that survived this war will have to back the physical and psychological scars for years to come. as for what weaponry is causing these injuries it's not entirely clear that. having is very severe the magnitude of destruction of the of the human beings those ones are intended to kill most casualties of people. face is badly on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping hamas rockets once and for all regardless of the incredible civilian toll. israel called up thousands of new troops this week to bolster its offensive but

many are turning their backs on the fighting fifty one israeli soldiers have refused to take part in the operation they say their army is oppressing palestinians and they have called on others to follow their lead. there's certainly been a narrowing of the space for political expression in israel in the past several years and during the course of this operation over six hundred protesters against the operation against the war have been arrested and are still under arrest for charges you know the kind the police brings up against you one day they want to suppress a protest to make a phone call or send a message or drop a tiny bomb minutes before you destroy an entire house and to think that the fact that we noticed them five or ten minutes before is enough to sentence five or ten or twenty five people to death is something immoral. i don't think even times of

war we can do whatever whatever we we want. now the conflict in gaza has sparked numerous demonstrations worldwide in europe they were mainly against the israeli operation protesters in berlin and waved palestinian flags and banners announcing to civilian deaths hundred gathered at the israeli embassy in the portugal's capital lisbon while in london thousands marched to voice their anger over the israeli strikes in paris more than ten thousand rallies through the capital in support of the palestinian people france has seen weeks of protests since the start of the conflict with some demonstrations resulting in clashes and across the atlantic in new york two rallies held simultaneously on the same street one pro israel the other pro palestinians were also gathering sneer at the white house visit france reports from washington. after yet another failed

humanitarian ceasefire in gaza the people here gathered for the free palestine protest in front of the white house aren't just grieving for the tragedy happening overseas they're also feeling a lot of impatience impatience because their relatives are the ones ducking for cover in gaza and many of them say this is not just a war of weapons and of ideology it's also a war of rhetoric and perception while we're here because there's obviously a devastation that's going on right now in gaza and we're calling for an end to the conflict there the freeing of the siege all show the end occupation that is all over the west bank and gaza and to really point out the fact that there's something that is immoral on just and equal that is going on here representatives of this community here in washington say that based on what we've seen so far just this summer alone there are two classes.
