that but there also has been growing frustration that's also some of the statement mentions from islamic jihad and hamas that is or have been very slow in implementing such agreements that have been reached about a month ago so i don't know where does all of this leave the recent talks to restore a cease fire where there is some kind of expectation that egypt is possibly be able to again. the u.n. special envoy in some line of had put out a statement on saturday night calling on all parties to come back to those understandings and trying to mediate a cease fire from the israeli side you have not really didn't get any confirmation on that actually some senior officials have said that they're expecting that this might continue for some days to come so we still to early i mean once those rounds have started you know whether this will grow into a more escalation or whether they actually egypt manages to restore a car. johnny agreement in jerusalem thank you very much. they've now been the operative at some other stories making news around the world syrian government forces have bombarded rebel hel

trikes mainly what they call on targets related to hamas or islamic jihad but also getting reports and from gaza have some residential buildings so tensions are really high because those attacks and counterattacks are continuing as we speak and it may be very difficult night for civilians in gaza as well as in the south of this or so where does this leave the recent talks to restore a cease fire. well this is a good question i think it's still too early to say. you know it depends on the coming hours he said there's also asked trikes are continuing as well as rockets are continuously being fired into southern israel and in gaza a building also we're getting reports where the turkish news agency was having their offices in. targeted now there are conflicting reports about mediation efforts you know that some delegation swear off hamas and islamic jihad were anyway in cairo usually it's the egyptians that i'm editing in such situations as well as with the u.n. . supposing that many asian efforts are ongoing but there were some reports in the israeli media quoting an israeli official sayi

continues to mediate talks between israel and the militant palestinian organizations her mass and islamic jihad. joining me now from jerusalem is our correspondent tanya crema talia what is the latest on the situation there. well there's certainly no indication yet that this round of fighting is coming to an end the according to the israeli army over four hundred thirty rockets have been fired since saturday morning and the israeli army has said that they have struck over two hundred targets throughout the gaza strip on both sides to have been casualties as we heard in the report now hamas and islamic jihad the joint command center they have threatened to expand to expand the range of rockets if israel continues its airstrikes and israel has also warned that they are prepared for any scenario and have also reinforced brigade that is stationed outside the gaza strip now they had a lull in hostilities what sparked this latest outbreak of violence. well that's why there has been a period of calm of relative calm in the past couple of weeks after under the understandings that have been brokered by

the funerals of those killed on sunday began among the dead were hamas and islamic jihad fighters and according to gaza's health ministry a four month old baby a twelve year old boy and a pregnant woman. the floor of the of the heart of the we in the palestinian resistance and islamic jihad can confirm that in about four thirty in the morning a cease fire had been reached in the militant groups as conditions emphasized that israel stopped all forms of aggression on our people and begin to rectally implementing the understanding of calm and breaking the unjust siege on our people . israel says it strikes targeted leaders and terror operatives one of them a hamas member who israel says was in charge of money transfers from iran to fighting groups inside gaza killed in an air strike on his car. in the israeli city of ashdod part of the aftermath of an intense sunday evening bairagi of dozens of rockets fired from gaza and southern israel when israeli civilian was killed here as he ran for a bomb shelter if you look at it like this i think that is see. at this moment is a terrible mistake

offensive operation if necessary we speak we continue to operate against hamas on the palestinian islamic jihad we have deployed an almost brigade. to the girls this trip with be specific purpose of conducting operations are not there to announce the difference but to conduct offensive operations should they be needed we have the adequate firepower disposal. i am not aware of any talk to a cease fire or anything of that if the i.d.f. is ready prepared and equipped to continue to fight against hamas ultimately to defend israeli civilians against rockets fired from gaza israel. let's not cross live to tel aviv in our tears pile of flare what's the current situation at the border. well this is the second day that we've seen the surge in violence so far four hundred and fifty rockets have been fired at israel from gaza israel for its side continues to pound the gaza strip with air strikes we're hearing from the israeli air force that they've hit some two hundred and twenty targets belonging to islamic jihad and hamas and all the rockets that have been fired at israel according to the israeli army o

next inside gaza for an exclusive interview with the leader of islamic jihad a militant group in thes ahead. you're watching velshi and ruhle live on msnbc. ching velshi and e live on msnbc. yesss, i'm doing it all. the water. the exercise. the fiber. month after month, and i still have belly pain and recurring constipation. so i asked my doctor what else i could do, and i said yesss to linzess. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. linzess is not a laxative, it works differently. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. i'm still doing it

in a palestinian resistance and islamic jihad can confirm that at about four thirty in the morning acease fire had been reached and a militant groups conditions emphasize that israel stop all forms of aggression on our people and begin directly implementing the understanding and breaking just siege on our people. was israel says it strikes targeted leaders and terror operatives one of them a member who israel says was in charge of money transfers from iran to fighting groups inside gaza killed in as strike on his car. in the israeli city of ashdod part of the of an intense sunday evening dozens of rockets fired from gaza and southern israel one israeli civilian was killed here as he ran for a bomb shelter because if you look at just really good to see i think that a cease fire at this moment is a terrible mistake i think that when we have the upper hand we need once and for all finish the terror because this will repeat itself and will not stop. israel has maintained its policy of not announcing any ceasefire but the lifting of restrictions including reopening schools in southern isr

it was not without risks islamic jihad is described by the u.s.s to wipe out israel. just this month a militant in gaza was killed by the israelis accused of trying to funnel money from iran to groups like islamic jihad. we wanted to know if there was a conflict with iran, would it set light to places like gaza. this is one of only two ways in and out of heavily guarded gaza. a barrier separating the 2 million palestinians living there from israel. been through multiple document checks metal gates. you don't just walk into gaza. if america's tensions with iran ever escalate to armed conflict gaza could be a flashpoint at least 25 palestinians and four israelis died in days o violence just this month the armed militant group islamic jihad has been supported for decades by the iranians. one leader agreeing to an interview. and he has a message for president trump. >> i'm sorry to say he's a thug man. >> reporter: a thug? >> a thug president. >> reporter: a thug president? >> of the united states of america. >> reporter: president trump, america, man

whatever the other the second most important palestinian armed factions inside gaza islamic jihad has been doing now that is a standard israeli line that it says hamas is control of the gaza strip and therefore it holds israel holds how most responsible for whatever comes out of the gaza strip but there is a clear signal there that israel will continue to target elements both of hamas and islamic jihad these are the military says it has targeted some two hundred twenty sites inside gaza so far since the beginning of this escalation earlier on saturday and they say as well that some four hundred fifty rockets have been fired out from gaza territory during the course that escalation in the last siren alert we heard in the area around here around gaza came about one hour ago however the last time we saw an incident like this an escalation like this was back in april ahead of the israeli elections and at that point both sides were able to kind of rein back going by what benjamin netanyahu is saying it seems less likely that we're going to be able to see efforts to pull back on both sides.

conflicting reports about mediation efforts you know that some delegations where off hamas and islamic jihad were anyway in cairo usually it's the egyptians and imaginative in such situations as well as with the u.n. and. supposing that many asian efforts are ongoing but there were some reports in the israeli media quoting an israeli official saying that he doesn't know of any such mediation talks so it depends now i mean both sides have said they're prepared for a further escalation with the militant group saying they could increase the range of the rocket range but also the intensity of asteroids so we have to wait and see how the coming i was with what they will bring right tanya kramer for us in jerusalem thank you so much. to thailand our elaborate ceremonies have taken place in bangkok to crown the country's new king might have a here a long court the sixty six year old ascended to the throne in two thousand and sixteen after the death of his father who was widely revered and much beloved sybase pageantry is the start of a three day ceremony that formally invests him with regal power s

a lot of pressure to do so at the same time there has been a statement by the joint command of islamic jihad and hamas saying as long as strikes continue on gaza as well as you know the continued blockade on gaza they will continue. defending themselves as they put it so there's always that sense it could go further and of course all eyes are on the egyptians they have in previous times mehdi a target and we know that a delegation of hamas and islamic jihad is actually in cairo this week so they are all eyes on them whether they can calm down the situation this time well just briefly talk us through what sparked this latest outbreak of violence. well there has been a period of relative calm around the israeli elections because egypt had brokered some sort of understanding between israel and hamas but that calm has broken down now also has been some frustration of reports coming out of gaza because the implementation of this understanding has had not been followed up so that's the fuel from gaza now this week attentions had risen and on friday doing to friday protests there have been some inc

one of them is the islamic jihad, which operates in the gaza strip.ok at this group. it was founded in the 1970s as an offer shoot of the egyptian muslim brotherhood. the state department says it's primarily funded by iran. th they seek to achieve that goal by carrying out attacks on israel and firing rockets from gaza into israel. in 1997, the state department designated jihad as a terrorist organization. it differs from hamas which controls the gaza strip because it does not offer social services and says it has no intention of negotiating with israel. one of jihad leaders is weighing in on the tensions and has a message for president trump. >> reporter: this is one of only two ways in and out of heavily guarded gaza. a barrier separating the two million minutes living there from israel. been through multiple document checks. metal gates, barbed wire. you don't just walk into gaza. if america's tensions with iran ever escalate to armed confli s conflicts, gaza would be a flash point. 25 palestinians and four israelis died in violence just this month

hamas targets inside gaza was a tunnel which it said work had been accelerating on recently an islamic jihad tunnel it says and so this is a continuing escalation. very much on the israeli side as well as this very large barrels of rockets that we've seen coming out being fired by the fighting factions inside gaza two israeli injuries that have been confirmed by the israeli authorities so far one a woman who was struck by shut shrapnel and was seriously injured in as a serious but stable condition apparently another man injured in the town of ashkelon on the palestinian side so far still just one cash one death reported by the gaza health ministry so far today all of the israeli military says that it may well have killed more than knotted it estimates and of course there were two hamas . brigades fighters who were killed in an attack by israeli forces on friday that coming after a sniper attack on israeli soldiers were injured two soldiers and two of the palestinian protesters on the border on friday who was shot and killed by israeli snipers with fifty others injured and how do we understan

an islamic jihad fired nearly seven hundred rockets according to the israeli military and killed four israelis. in a statement on monday israel's prime minister said the military had hit hamas and islamic jihad with great force but that the campaign to ensure calm and security for southern israel had not ended. gaza fishel say one hundred thirty homes were destroyed in the israeli bombardment and seven hundred damaged hamas has been demanding israel follow through on what it says are outstanding commitments to ease restrictions and facilitate money transfers from qatar made after the previous round of violence in april. israel and hamas have again stepped back from a. escalation towards war the mediation of the united nations and the egyptians has again been crucial but again the issues that have been driving these repeated outbreaks of violence remain unresolved and so the question again is how long this period of calm can last a force at al-jazeera west jerusalem so dan's military council is expected to unveil a transition plan as protesters continue their demands for civilian rule

his radius strikes continue to bombard gaza the israeli say that they targeting hamas and islamic jihad targets but among the offices that have been hit was the headquarters belonging to the took a show state run media agency now the turkish president added one has slammed the incident and no doubt this will increase tensions between israel and turkey at the same time israel has resumed its policy of targeted assassinations killing the person responsible in the gaza strip for distributing elaine in funds that are the native to gaza this comes as israel saw on sunday its deadliest day in terms of casualties since the last israel gaza war back in two thousand and fourteen the south of the country is in a state of high lives businesses and schools will remain closed on monday and ways it is have been ordered to remain inside the bomb shelters here in tel aviv where i am with the some eighty kilometers to the north the municipality has open public bomb shelters and this comes as hamas creighton's that if israel doesn't stop what it says is its aggression it will target tel aviv in the comin

because even on the ground in the fields including mothers and their toddlers both the hamas and islamic jihad are are excellent in using human shields you know launching their operations from schools and from apartment buildings and from civilian centers and hoping that the israelis will not retaliate or that the israelis will be concerned with possible civilian casualties every civilian casualty is that sort of tragedy but the state of israel takes its citizens and has to protect its borders and for that some very very serious measures are being taken against the military infrastructure in gaza. back in a few minutes after this break. you know world of big. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to the program with the crisis in venice while a simmering russia's foreign minist

there's really very little appetite for escalation there were negotiations underway hamas and islamic jihad had officials in egypt where egypt has for quite some time been playing a mediator between israel and hamas we have yet to hear of any word of a cease fire but you can be rest assured that one is hoping to be hammered out in the coming days if egypt has anything to say about it all right to national name and ask them sasha thank you now ratcheting up the trade war with china the u.s. says it will increase tariffs on chinese exports president trump has announced the time some two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods will rise to twenty five percent on friday while john hendren is live for us from washington d.c. john said trump seems to be goading the chinese hand what's behind all this john. that's exactly what he's doing there and this is two hundred billion dollars worth of goods that will will have tariffs increased on them he was initially going to raise those terrorists from ten to twenty five percent back in march but as a goodwill gesture during negotiations with chin

hamas bears responsibility not only for attacks and actions but also for the activities of the islamic jihad and it pays a very heavy price. but the reality inside gaza shows the impact of israeli attacks . after prayer someone called me and said he is from the occupying israeli army he asked if any members of the media were in my building i told him yes he then told me to document the building within half an hour then they came and hit the building with five rockets exactly half an hour later. area is safe and away from the borders and the military locations so we didn't expect our area to be targeted in fact during people from everywhere live they places and came to us what happened proves that all of gaza is not safe there is not a single safe area they used rockets and destroyed everything that i have the force is joining us now live from the israel gaza border some very strong words from the israeli prime minister there. yes indeed he said that there will be a continuation of what he called these massive attacks against what he says are terrorist elements inside gaza and that's been bac

have not implemented any of the understanding's that have happened between both sides also the islamic jihad threatens and intimidates. israel by. to showing places in. cologne. airport and the port of israel and saying that these are in the renge of their targets so we can say that there are a lot of messages threatening and intimidating messages between both parts and you has also declared that the egyptian media for maintaining calmness this time are not have not succeeded and that israel is going to retaliate rispoli in a very forceful way to hamas and the palestinian factions if they continue to fire these rockets on the israeli towns. journalists thank you for bringing us the latest. to germany now where a rising political figure has drawn attention after urging top firms like b.m.w. to be brought under collective ownership the remarks were made by kevin cornered leader of the social democratic party as a youth wing he's vowed to shift the party's policies further to the left since joining the s.p.d. s.t.p. as youth chief has also been a vocal critic of surging rents and big property d

well it's all about the implementation as you said hamas and islamic jihad and other militant groups in gaza they have accused israel of failing to implement understandings that have been reached during the last time there was an escalation and was in late march and also at earlier times we've seen many of those escalations flaring up over the past year and we understand that this time also. the ceasefire or calm is based on those understanding said have included previously the lifting of some of the restrictions on gaza like expanding the fishing zone. getting in aid money from qatar the flow of more electricity into gaza now it's really all about this implementation but it also shows that without a longer term plan no solution political solution for the gaza strip which has been under blockade and has been under closer for over ten years now it's going to be highly likely that we see possibly other times of escalation tanya given the tenuous situation there right now what is the mood. well i think people on both sides are waiting to see. you know bit more about the understandings b

the worst violence since the war twenty any medicine group islamic jihad -- level of the cease fire started after the intervention of the mediators. other than we are observing the behavior of the occupation and are ready to respond to any aggression that you buy that in the while the israeli ministry lilifted protective restrictions on residents close to the borde. well some israelis were pleased to see a return to camp. all this stuff to see spock was never. i think that a cease fire at this moment is a terrible mistake. i think that when we have the upper hand need once of roles to finish the terra. because this will only repeat itself. meanwhile in gaza some residents were skeptical over the agrereements like this man who lost his home. what it does god causes all? these troops will be the same as previous ones. each time at the truce lasts only for a week or two we are suffering from the fighting.. yes strikes targeget civilians they strike residential buildings and we are left with only the clothes we stand in russia can cause. over the weekend i israel's ministry targeted dozens of h

used as well seventy targets being struck inside gaza the israeli military says linked to hamas islamic jihad another palestinian factions inside gaza but we're also hearing confirmation from the gaza health ministry to what you just said that among those killed. one was a palestinian member of hamas the brigades a fighter that we believe was killed when he was part of a rocket firing group but the other death was a fourteen month old baby girl the government does health ministry saying about was a drone strike on house or next to a house in east gaza city and that three members of her family were also killed so that is the situation inside gaza as far as israeli casualties are concerned these are the authorities are saying that two people have been seriously injured one a woman in carry out go she was hit by shrapnel and taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition another man a civilian hit or rather injured by a rocket strike on the city of ashkelon north of gaza and how the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was meeting his security advisers in tel aviv kemet specked anythin

the israeli government insists the strikes are in response to hamas and islamic jihad firing more than six hundred rockets across the border into southern israel this weekend many were intercepted while still airborne but some landed in residential areas destroying homes injuring and killing civilians hastily declared in the early hours of the morning the latest ceasefire has a verted an all out war but with tensions high it won't take much for the violence to flare up again. especially in correspondent tanya kramer who has the latest from jerusalem so we've heard that this cease fire has been in effect for a few hours now how is it holding up so far. well it appears to be holding since the early morning hours there have been no a rockets being fired into southern israel from gaza and also there have been no more israeli airstrikes on gaza palestinian media have reported that as of four thirty am this cease fire has gone into effect a cease fire that has been brokered this time again in mediated by egypt with the help of qatar and the united nations. and tania we know that one of the m

in part potentially explains why the situation in gaza is that is it as it is and perhaps why islamic jihad and hamas of chosen this period ahead of the universe and song contest ahead of israeli national day to try to increase the pressure and that is a real pressure that the the israeli government israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu probably doesn't want to see a full escalation towards war ahead of those important dates however he's also authorized a very significant series of strikes on gaza there is a large volume of rocket fire coming out of gaza so whatever each side really wants to happen in the coming days it might be academic if this develops a momentum of its own. iran is vying to bypass u.s. sanctions on its major oil costs the news by using the so-called gray market that is legal but unofficial export methods iran's deputy oil minister says all resources are being mobilized to continue exports to the u.s. lifted sanctions waivers on iranian oil importers including china and india iran dismisses american accusations of using oil revenue to destabilize the middle east south

those efforts paying off around 4:30 this morning, according to islamic jihad.ease-fire going into effect. civilian restrictions lifted. the roads that had. closed yesterday as military zones for safety reasons have re-opened and it seems at least on the israeli side of the border life here is getting back to its usual routine. >> so, oren, what more are you learning about the circumstances leading up to this latest violence? you know, we're talking about 600 rockets fired. >> the numbers here are quite stunning in that sense. how many rockets were fired. how many air strikes were carried out by israel as well as artillery and tank strikes. this all starts on friday. on friday there are the normal weekly gaza protests along the border, not far from where we're standing here, in fact. those have happened every week for more than a year at this point. during those protests, israel says a sniper from gaza hits two soldiers along the southern gaza border. israel responds with a strike against the haas military post that kills two haas militants. that then is where f

israel says it has struck scores of military targets belonging to islamic jihad and hamas.authorities say another killed a baby girl and her pregnant aunt. at their funeral today morners carried their bodies through the streets. the body blames a missile from an israeli zone but they claim it was a misfired palestinian rocket. palestinian militants have fired hundred oz of rockets and mortars. the iron dome air defense system has intercepted many but some are slipping through e sending israeli scrambling for cover. the first to die in such an attack since the war in 2014. this latest rund of fighting has turned into one of the blood yes in recent years, bringing both sides dangerously close to another war. this flair up comes despite efforts to broker a lasting ceasefire. the u nerks envoy says those talks have stopped. erjs in a series of tweets the president blasted the democrats saying they're angry the investigation found no obstruction or collusion. no redos for the demes. but they're reportedly in direct talks with mueller hoping to get him to testify with the judicia

several times already in recent months but we are in the midst of another one and palestinian islamic jihad one of the fighting factions within gaza says that it stands ready to extend the range of its rocket fire to the far north of israel to haifa to ben-gurion airport near tel aviv and also to the un acknowledged nuclear reactor in dimona in southern israel and how it is ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been meeting his security advisers in tel aviv can expect anything from that meeting. well certainly no official announcement coming out from that meeting so far the only messaging we've been getting so far has been coming from the israeli military the the air force and the army but it does seem that israel is in in mind for a fairly major response to what's been going on there have been strikes going on throughout the day quite often israel would wait until night time to carry out raids such as this but given that this started quite early this morning following an israeli drone strike on a vehicle which local media reported was carrying a palestinian islamic jihad senior comma

israeli drone strike on a vehicle which local media reports in gaza said was carrying a senior islamic jihad commander three people in that vehicle lightly wounded and then the barash of rockets began and all of this following what took place during the border protests on friday when two palestinian protesters were killed and two hamas fighters some fighters were killed in an as strike which followed a sniper attack on israeli soldiers at the border which ended injured two soldiers so we're in the midst of a continuing military escalation here so hey is there a particular reason why this is happening now. well you remember that is about a month ago it was the last movie escalation and that was deescalated really amid hopes of a longer term truce at least in the works and that included expanding the fishing zone to fifteen nautical miles from six we've just heard in the last few minutes that that has now been closed right down to zero no fishing at all about by the israeli navy as well as closing the crossings at areas in the north and kerem shalom in the south which is the cargo crossing and
