or earlier at nights they were evacuating civilians from other neighboring settlements as well. we can see the devastating, after most of is really showing in gals that reportedly in response here to come up striking a jewish synagogue, is really troops, apparently specifically targeted to most st. joseph. and that's reporting to a statement released by come us. we can see the wreckage of one of them with the building essentially raised to the ground. or galvan city streets are filled with debris after a number of buildings where destroyed former high rise apartment blocks are gone. and the size of those still trumps getting more difficult to detect. but the search goes on with low cost joining emergency crews to look for survivors. we heard more from in counseling fixture in this this situation continues. we're entering the 30th hour of type thing and we still hear exclusions surrounding where i am

right now. i am in the center of the gods a city and we can still hear the drones exclusions and we like sams 30 hours. no. com has been for like 10 minutes or 5 minutes. it's continuous. we still here. continuous bombs in separate areas and the causes defense yesterday, at least 15 residential areas have been a fun. one of them is a 14 flat, a building 17 thought building today. there's another commercial, the building, like a 7 story commercial, the building that has been targeted. it has, uh workspace for freelancers where they provide internet and electricity, 247 for all of the freelancers to work there. they have fences, beauty centers, and a lot of, uh, like normal commercial places and to be honest,

like all of these places and rigid residential houses at and that they target are also surrounded by other people living there. so we're talking about god's that densely populated area and when you target anything and gods that a lot of people are going to be effected. also there was a hospital was effective markets and some underwear schools of declared that they have been impacted and damaged by the the is there any other strikes more over also and they also targeted some multiple of governmental areas, buildings in the gaza strip, some palestinians living near the fence and close to the borders, the civilians there receive text messages from the i d f and they were asking them to flee their houses and they're asking them to go to

a safe space. maybe 20000 palestinians lead their, their houses from these areas and they are trying to search for a place to, to, to go. but at the same time, there has been also a cause for palestinians to see their houses. and that's where policy means fee. their houses were where it could be. so israel say's is there. a force has struck the residence of the head of homos intelligence in counseling. the idea of false released footage, showing an attack on what a claims are militant targets among them, from us intelligence headquarters to binds on the building where the adf elijah's weapons were stored. it adds the arms production site believe to be linked to the stomach jihad group thing was taken to less. the 2nd day of violence on for the conflict, has already claimed the lives of at least 370 people in garza. and more than

650, of course, israel as well gals, a base political analyst my time, or i will say to say is that although is real claims, it has been targeting only facilities used by from us. it's missiles had struck separately in areas we have been under a heavy is weighted bombardment. since yesterday i was a officer on the head of us operation inside as well. that is where the air force started. bonding goes on in a very heavy way, all night long, according to his way to sources. um, most of these areas that's where, where that belong to. i'm not as but let me tell you about the other story that i'm most of this uh building that the civilian has a there's a bunch of areas of a number of presidential dollars where a bomb, the broad don bye, is really just so many, all the civilian houses were also uh with vom done and destroyed money, its not areas inside the warehouse. so bob, by his way, to the desk and uh,

buddy much, we are expecting the words. and that is, i had the was uh how miles has taken is were now these were gonna be all need by a sort of price, maybe this or any oddly uh where, where'd the hutch relaxing in those early hours of yesterday. and i think also as well as told that by uh, driving how much by giving her most of the palestinians and garza workers, paramount on other economic uh, uh, and per month. uh, that probably wouldn't get there from how most of launching such an operation. uh, but it seems to me that what we had, what we saw yesterday was a bunch of complicated, but it wasn't prepared the operator should. but how about as far it does that the probably to come as month old or preparation. all these really security cabinet has invoked article 40 the clearing and the official state of war

in the country. the 1st time since 1973 us as heavy as really weapons are making their way to the gals of border positioning. israel for a potential problem to solve our middle east bureau chief maria from motion to to the program or are there. and also yes, another security cabinet to maintain with these really prime minister in the country stall, put intelligence military and security officials participating. these real has now officially declared a state of war. all experts point out that it was lost to use back in 1973. when israel was some old tenants, they attacked by syrians and egypt. basically that means that now these really army has complete freedom of action and it could act independently. however, it is obliged to report to the political leadership. so it is now official, but i have to tell you that we haven't here in about the we're that the israel is currently at since 1st hours all time also is offensive on saturday. this is what spend a minute then. yeah, home has said earlier, let's take a listen. as i say,

so i am, we are in bucking on aluminum difficult war. the world was forced upon us by a motorist attacked by from us. the 1st phase ends in these was by destroying the most of the enemy forces that have penetrated though territory. at the same time, we started the offensive formation and it will continue without reservation and without respite, until the goals are achieved. we will restore security to the citizens of israel and we will win with me what side will show to along the situation remains very tense. scores are dead from both sides around 2000 injured and is room alone. since the beginning of how mass is offensive on a sauce a day. more than 3500 walkers have been fired from the gather strength towards is really southern communities in the countries the center cities like ask alone tel aviv and jerusalem. and the main version is of course on medical facilities in the southern part of the country. but since they are all but well and other hospitals across the country also help and this is behind me,

one of them see medical center for emergency madison. this is where has some of those injured due to the attacks being rawlton. they are treated here right now, it is the biggest hospital in the israel. it is also really have to be one of the best in the world. these really, authorities are also reporting that there is a huge deficit of blogs. they are encouraging people to come and donate blogs, but i have to tell you that people actually do not need to be encouraged. they do it with their open heart and are there we have been able to speak to those who decided to become donors. this is what they have to say about their motivation. them here to give blogs like any other citizen of this country. we've never gone for anything like this. it's, uh, it's, it's a very emotional thing. my son just lost a couple of his friends. and this is how we go on,

we help each other. we support each other as much as we can. and we try to get through it. i'm here because it's the only thing to make me feel less say this is something is really is known for gathering good together as one, no matter any differences that we have the last 8 to 10 months. this is the only thing we can do. this is the 2nd day of the confrontation between israel and her mouse. and so far, unfortunately, there is no indication that is going to be the last one. and plus everybody's waiting for ground operation by these really are me to start inside the gaz us 3 pets. so officials, including medical officials here at this medical center behind me are expecting the number of casualties to be on the rise unfortunately soon. well, we can cross live no, and the program to is really politician and former can. that's it. member must see ross. mr. ross, thank you for your time today. israel has officially declared war against thomas.

how significant is the article having been invoked in parliament the 1st time and half a century? i supposed to have to say it according to this uh then. uh no, i'm doing the display should but, but it was actually like the on various, the copy that the declared small don't tough to get to the problem it, but actually they have no new sol declination. you know, it's like put it in the hall like crew, $911.00 eh, eh, organizations, a, fox, a cbs. and maybe there was a, the story of islam, of many community. so a thoughts more than sleep falls and besides swell, sent oral spare to se, wants it to be dense. and the, there wasn't much talk to about 20 communities in depaul deals. and we don't know

the exact numbers. we know the 6 way more than 6. i believe, and we know about 2000 people to i was, i am in judge and 3 know about maybe we think people, and we know that there are some of them good cop children, probably to at least test cultural babies for mazda and we don't talk about only about uh, so just adults only about policeman. we talk about all the people and one of the leaves these at mold in the 85 we talk about the kids and those are a won't crimes that we never b u in. they used to lead of the logic eh, easily before last spring and caustic for no sign. it was the, as there was narrative, we never see crimes like dots notes from the easily size,

but also the full experience side. and the maybe i would say like a pick a eye construct notes on the kitchen side seat inside book and beside me then it's never happened in a few moments after this interview. in fact, start will be speaking to, to a friend of one of the abducted. so the heart broken images, all of that as well would be bringing that to our viewers is really heavy. weaponry is moving towards the gas at border as, as far as we understand. does that say to you or suggest that boots will be put on the ground in gas? do you see an operation act out on folding? i think it's going to happen. it, you know, i think that the, if we bought this then thought the guns are easily we have to we have to make sure that the disk on sunday

should eh, eh, eh, to, but these ations would not be off like bill of today routes to make sure that civilians, charlotte, we know that typically this, well, the suck, kept it easily. bill bill, all kinds of piece a month to reduce your cause to books, to make sure, but it's not going to be knowledge and all bills. and we have to be good book, the people will come true. what is prime minister netanyahu is immediate strategy right now is real prepared for war. the us result just these are these zip codes for the treatment. so yes, so they both got the we will be state. why was that? do you think it was intelligence problems? why do you think the country was taken? so by surprise, it appears it was not the only the just spoken but twice intelligent spoken at my

feet. but that there was a political problem bad a for the, the basic we still keep putting those at them well, but the next, the temperatures are equal a problem. and then nobody could imagine that the solar just in the ball do we not be able to? we ok. we talk about a bowl due to the last a team use. oh, even more. a live body. well, it close to people. then once a schultz file sense of people, they'll show because they will close to the both the, both the bill we see, but honestly it's all spillway squeeze way. prince was a waste cox waves of the bicycle. i'm sorry, i'm just cutting the ball bill in many places and the bill there is no way i don't

know. busy the option of the defensive. oh it's the i'm, we shouldn't be 1st easily. it'd be fest focuses every few pop up and everybody is shocked out of thoughts is the view is the view point just briefly if you will start do you think to, to, to get such ship to provoke and so heavily about israel goes in very heavily on that gets the international community perhaps on gas has side more than it was before because as you say, these, these kid, not they, these abductions of, of civilians. it hasn't happened before in to that extent a yes, big news the carpet load the sub duction. so give me a big, not this much psycho, that number of people with a key in the hopes maybe to hop at it. if there's not gonna be the next best. i know we thought that the, the past in you'll maybe even today the is a,

a soccer flash on call you. but it never happened in the meet the east a please know, to be between these ladies as a ups at the i think. but the, everybody on the bill stands about it could not go on like that's ok. thank you so much for coming in the program to ensuring your, your views and giving us a sense of what's happening there. most of your as former is really part of that member for the merits party. thank you. well, there's really, authorities have confirmed that at least 100 people helping, abducted and are currently being held captive in gal. so this weekend has turned into a nightmare for many is really families and wanting to following images of some of the victims are disturbing footage here all of a road leading to a music festival that was being held near the gals and border. and these really time over there in the time the road and data strewn with the bundle and cars,

the dead. after having us militants entered, the party part gliding into the side. some concert goers were reportedly hiding in their cars pretending to be dead for hours until idea of rescue forces arrived. a witness captured video of the militant shooting on the route. again, we must warn you, disturbing images are ahead. heinous images of the bodies of those who attended the festival here near the gaza strip border and were killed by him us militants. other footage reveals people at the same events leading for their lives with some abducted and laid down the road towards on knowing and potentially tragic fate. the with another escalating aspect to this, they had a base. really, defense ministry has ordered the population of popular surveys along the border

with lab and on. now that follows the lebanese base, militant group hezbollah, claiming responsibility for an attack, and there's really army positions in the disputed frontier region. your organization, say said shell free is really military posts and they go lot heights out of solidarity. what's the quote policy in the end of assistance or so? the idea of commented on the issue being israel has retaliated by firing artillery shells that was confirmed by b route, stating that israel had attacked the number of southern lebanese settlements. we discuss the overall situation with some regional experts, both of whom believe that if israel pushes on with a ground operation and gaza as likely a resistance will come on to from how's the law show the some is really outposts and nobody is occupied territories and shrivel which the needs have been claiming since 1967, i believe that if things go further and if is a in

a use is let's say uh hi. uh 2nd me get the technology weapons. uh it said that uh inflicts heavy casualties on dependents. the news is that i will be attacked also from the north of, by his beloved and it, would it be fighting on both fronts. deep inside the territory is that it's going towards a ever since 1948, which is the 1st time in history that this is how this happens actually in the history of the item is, or it least that either it's become well known that the, the confrontation with israel corporation is actually a government got several levels, but through a united front comprising syria 11 use it as a stance and the palestinian resistance, the eddies sent to come, paying called

a likes of slugs, actually came on the title enough is enough. the world has to and that is kind of cool. patient has to end. the world has to work together. both weston and regional powers to establish a permanent and a stable piece in the region through the creation of the 2 state solution today. 11 is that as a says, has joined in these of amy's got was a very clear message that as well i will join in is, is, i have other things all the launching, elanda tax on garza. the message is that i do not through or out any possibility of this conflict. why the 9th and involving syria add on as well. and policy notices forces in the and all all toward that is bound to set and stability

and security. not only in the region, but in the world, the plots for another aspect of the escalations today. and we go to egypt for that because to is really true. wrist on their local group leader have been killed and warning the following images. it'd be disturbing to you to people can be seen line lifeless on the ground in these images shared on social media, while one woman shirts for an i'm gallons according to local media. the comment was on the junction police officer and open fire on the bus carrying is really holidaymakers egypt, interior ministry, phase one other individual was injured in the incident of the popular homepage pillar side in the historic port city. but it all comes as is really diplomatic missions around the world have been placed on high alert with stuff advice to seek refuge at home. a new tape, police have also strengthened patrols in london over for years of protests and

incidents relating to the events in israel. unpolished and in various global reactions to some of these initial i'm also talking to israel were divided with some condemning the deadly raids and many others encouraging a peaceful conclusion. as soon as possible, russia, the african union, were among those urging the warring parties to negotiate of the trip as an indigent me appeals to both parties to put an end to the military hostilities and to return without conditions to the negotiating table. to implement the principle of 2 states, living side by side to save god, the interest of the palestinian people. and these really people, this conflict which has been dragging on for 75 years has no military solution and can be settled exclusively by political and diplomatic means through the establishment of a full scale negotiation process on a well known international legal basis. well, china also issued a statement which it said that the formation of a palestinian state is the only way to end the long time dispute requiring

conflicts between palestine and israel. full of demonstrate that the long term stagnation of the peace process is unsustainable. the fundamental way out to quell the posting in is rarely conflict between to man the 2 state solution and establish and independence bellas, city and state. in contrast, both the commissions president of its foreign policy chief of solely condemned pharmacy you need or if they've underline, emphasized quote, israel has the right to defend itself against such heinous attacks. also, israel's prime minister, netanyahu says he received complete support from us presidential fighting. a prominent american politician nikki haley has demanded that all are the insurance and for to make it clear inside their own focus. i'm deleted connery from the 1st. we have to make sure israel secured that's borders. the 2nd thing is we need to call on all the air countries and ask them where they stand on this. and they can't just stand and say ceasefire. they've got to stand against evil. well, we spoke

a little earlier with victor, vice president of the beijing based think, talk the center of china and globalization. he says it's very clear and negotiations between his release impala. students are the only way that this gets the results. a priority is to enable the kind of scene is the, is really, is to engage with each other as equals to sit down to the whole shape to talk to restore humanitarian so called for the civilians. impala is damien, rather than the single mindedly accusing how much, for example, as being a terrorist, a group, as the palestinians do not have any legitimacy in promoting the 2 state solution, which is actually mandated by the united nations resolutions. this isaac only reviews the few popular as a and the double standards of southern countries because they forget that the rights of the state of israel should exist concurrently with the rights of the

palestinian people to have their own separate independent states. good. this is the inc. a being of all right, of the palestinian people. and all the updates from the middle east escalation are going up online on r t dot com. and of course, we will bring you the latest developments right here on there to try for the day the get another big story of this weekend, a powerful earthquake has rock western of gun this them, the death toll has risen for over 2000 people half about number, again, injured, a warning, some of the following images are upsetting. measuring 6.3 on the richter scale, the initial quake was followed by strong aftershocks the aftermath of shown here in the north, west city of her rent as people grieve for the 6 family members. the deadly events have left many homeless with signs of those still trumped,

increasingly difficult to detect. search and rescue efforts. content all calls are getting larger among extreme us and one european country for an estimate. this color faith to be established. there will be particularly worrying aspect is that it's younger people, primarily in boston, they're making overtures or documentary team explorers. all that i'm, it's routes by that the

the russian states never is as tight as i'm one of the most sense community. most all sense and the in the system and speed you what else calls question about this. even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on the russians per day and split our t smooth neck. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the payment services for the question, did you say even twist,

which is the a really awesome diane, both so i am not fully, it's got quite a be a is that seems to be on him sort of by any for you or study on young doctor the duty somebody read out 3 months, which i thought i saw that one. yeah. but it won't be on the blood. not intellect on. that would be a deal, you know, for the political well, she all got a topple each custody of all on those. i so she like douglas to for mattel that goes to be on it because me for that's a lot on yet low, but.
