arwa damon is live in gaza city with details. what you have learned?em that the israeli defense minister was saying the agreement to the cease-fire deal was amounting to a surrender to terrorism and he felt israel's response to the launching of some 400 rockets from gaza, where we are right now, into israeli territory was insufficient, and we did see strikes whether they are military installations or even hamas' tv station, and we did see their morning broadcast moving forward. as for residents here in gaza, that cease-fire deal was met with such relief. they did not know up until the point that it was actually announc announced whether they would be going through, and they did not pt know if they would have to suffer through the constant barrage of strikes. israelis were warning residents to leave these various locations. there's a sense that perhaps the cease-fire deal is really just temporary, it's just a pause in what has been an ongoing cycle of escalations of violence, and what people here really want to see is a lifting on the siege on gaza and

president trump have made that way but others are still in the city and benjamin met netanyahu who clearly has been briefed on what's been going on in gaza i'm sure was fully briefed on this and it's interesting to know whether he at any point when he spoke to president trump told him about any israeli plans well he is here in the city he's staying overnight in paris and that's because he has a meeting in the morning with emmanuel macro the french president so i'm sure this subject will come up this is something that the u.n. security council have been warned about which is fresh problem clicked breaking out in gaza and clearly is one of the problem members of the u.n. security council talking of the u.n. clearly the warnings about fresh public company climb out and all that was the u.n. special coordinator based in jerusalem and he was only ground for. the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he also has a meeting with president macro in the morning so i think and i can also tell you. there's a palestinian representative here. in paris well not clear to me at this stage because obviously i've only had a chance

we saw that happen gaza cities just a couple of kilometers behind us is also just been two interceptions of the iron dome of rockets that were outgoing over our heads in this area it remains a very active situation. particularly a lot of t.v. a very loud explosion two of them we still hear that building had been evacuated beforehand because it didn't received a phone call warning them to do that it is active there are explosions that are going on we know negotiations are continuing behind the scenes particularly with egypt with the united nations it is a complicated situation as well with the main players involved when it comes to gaza we know that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has finished a security consultant asians this evening from what we understand they had agreed on some form of course of action that hasn't been made public but the security cabinet will be convening in tel aviv tomorrow so i think until then we're going to have to wait and see what the israelis say and just watch the ground but at the moment certainly it remains a very serious situation as you men
