1:10 pm
a more intense barrage to come it's feared many projectiles could slip through those defenses care sharper juicer in tel aviv a pack of us we've brought to you rollins all the tasks all the television from hamas that of course follows hamas to july. by at a garage of rockets into the israeli territory is on monday and fast there were only a few. southern state is on the border with gaza like ashkelon ashdod and several why don't you state. the entire country came under fire and had this. app which is called read aloud so it shows you exactly where the rockets land and and imagine this i am dreaming 2 minutes that's fine i broke it is being fired into the israeli territory so it's all over the place and on tuesday

1:12 pm
children away from my shelter and i was walking along the street and i was actually dragged into the shelter by a passer by when the siren goes off it's just the sound is overwhelming and it's all over the place and and really main idea and this is what they tell you is not to rush not to run for shelter because this is how you can actually enjoy yourself because when people panic they set running and they fold they stumble and that's how they get injured so you have to proceed quickly but calmly. in the 90 seconds after you heard the siren go off and you have to stay in the shelter for about 10 minutes on tuesday night there was a barrage of attacks it was common on and on and on and it was like 6 attacks in 30 minutes so when i left you know you have this pinch all vol panic in your god and
1:13 pm
it's it's really terrifying the 2nd attack happened on 3 am and i was home i was sleeping and. the good thing that is that we have a shelter room in the apartment i'm at my building and i just want to show you what a shelter room looks like follow me. if you can see when it cold to get into the building but not today the door is open so that anyone who is outside during the attack can get into the building and into the shelter on. this is that this is the door it's massive it's it has several locks here and this is you can see also it's normal locked and all the residents have the keys because it used as storage but again. this is a look at the mess at the door so let's go inside this is the room you can see
1:14 pm
some of the biggest like 10 to 12 square meters and it's been used as i said has been use a storage stuff from the residence so what we have here is we have a window and it's not like normal window look at this there is this curtain. which closes when the siren goes of so you close the curtain you close the window. and that's it then you close the door and there are 2 a sees for the air i am lucky because i have a shelter room in my own apartment but those who don't come downstairs when the siren goes off and stay here until it's safe again people bring the emergency birds with water power banks and other stuff they might need in case they have to stay inside for a long time so this is this is what it's been like it's kerry. today
1:15 pm
it's a beautiful day people go around. as normal as they can but school talking can still children stay home and people try to keep ask loath to home as they can in case they need to go into the shelter quickly. pretty extraordinary footage here this is a city where news really are struck destroyed a high rise building on one of the busiest shopping streets 2 bombs fell on the building which reportedly how is the official us television show we can in fact go live to speak with local correspondent rami khouri welcome back it looks like. what is it like in the territory.

1:22 pm
defend itself and to respond to rocket attacks the palestinian people also have the right to safety and security just as israelis do now this balanced approach being put forward by the united states is certainly not welcomed by israel the usa is a longtime ally it is impossible to put in the same message statements by israeli leaders who call for calm alongside instigates is and terrorist organizations that launch missiles and rockets donald trump has been mocking joe biden on twitter and saying that the reason for these events is that his strategy for dealing with the middle east was a band and that the biden ministration is essentially revealing it has no clear strategy for dealing with the israel palestine conflict at this point. we're looking at the biden administration questions are being raised about whether or not the usa is really a faithful ally of israel other questions are being raised about whether or not the biden administration has a clear outlook toward the middle east or
