yes it does i'm speaking to you from tel aviv and where i am right now overnight 'd we had sirens we had to go to shelters and because israel has a very good missile defense capability most of these missiles not civilians but this was not for lack of wanting on the part of hamas now what is different this is not an israel palestine war it is a campaign between israel and the extreme elements of the palestinians israel would like to have some a range and some compromise wisdom moderate probably stimulus who are in control of the west bank that these the palestinian authority under mahmoud abbas hamas does not recognize israel and once every several years. you could exchange of blows unfortunate civilians on either side and what is really intense right now is to delineate the next round for several more years i would suggest one of the major problems is a mere it's not palestinian people don't see it as direct as not israel against hamas they would see it israel against the palestinian people on indeed probably islam as well. yes this is one way to look at it. it's i'm being i know how

in the meantime we are standing in tel aviv buy a house that was destroyed overnight. me show you the damage. it really does give a sense of the randomness and horror people are living on both sides and have lived overnight. take a look, the couple and their daughter who lived here managed to get to a shelter which you can see in the frame, they managed to avoid any serious injury but their house has been completely leveled, there were 130 rockets fired in tel aviv last night and five people in israel as a result over the last day of been killed by these rockets. it was basically last night in tel aviv all kicking off at 9:00 an ultimatum given by the militants in the gaza strip saying the israeli defense force continues to hit tall towers they would send missiles, rockets flying towards tel aviv and that is exactly what they did and israel said that it is going to continue to target those high-rise buildings and gaza where militants are taking refuge for using them for infrastructure. the iron dome missile defense system in israel has been pretty effective but still s

but people in tel aviv have felt the fear of the hamas rockets.ayor asset -- southern israel has been critical of the decision. divide -- to might hamas -- tonight hamas is saying this is a victory for the palestinian people. how would you assess it, laura? laura: it is interesting. the goal of all of the diplomatic processes around the middle east has been for a two stat solution for iseli and palestinians living two states in this disputed area. hamas, the more muscular of the political organizations in the palestinian territories, wants something different. is the two state solution alive after this? is this the way hamas sidelines fattah by launching rockets? the israeli iron rome managed to get rid of 90% of them -- iron dome managed to get rid of 90% of them but hamas feels they have shaken the confidence of israelis as far as tel aviv. their sewage has been bombed. their power plants, $300 million worth of damage has been done. this is the political reality tonight for hamas. the impoverishment people are living in. katty: laura trevelyan f

richard engel for us from tel aviv.e want to bring in in the meantime, bloomberg opinion editor, bobby ghosh. you heard all of that happening, in the middle of the day. i believe many of the rockets that had been firing from hamas had been in the overnight hours. how unusual is it to hear this in the middle of the day there? >> it's a very important day. this is not just any saturday. this is the day palestinians commemorate israel's foundation. and it's a day that is characterized by enflamed emotions on the palestinian side, and for an extremist group like hamas, it's a day to show its credentials. and its only credentials come from sparking off violence. and so i would have expected today to -- i would have expected the level of violence, the level of rhetoric and actual rocket fire to be ratcheted up today in any case. so i'm not entirely surprised that there are these salvos of rockets in the middle of the day. >> and bobby, of course, the administration has a medium level envoy that is there. what would you say th
