gaza valley, one of the longest valleys in palestine. was one of the main sources that recharged the nside gaza. the annual amount of its water runoff is at 20 million cubic meters, the israeli occupation blocks the flow of water and prevents it from reaching the ghaza strip. منطقه وادي غزه الاصل انها تكون منطقه محميه طبيعيه protects palestinian wildlife and migrating birds. this valley extends from the east to the mediterranean sea in the west. unfortunately, the israeli occupation prevented the water of the valley. واادي غزه قبل 30 عام او اكثر حتى 30 years ago, this area, which extends from the alzheitoon neighborhood to the gaza valley, was known for its citrus groves and طبعا وادي غزه هو احد valley is one of the thefts of the palestinians water resources committed by the israeli occupation. we're talking about 20 million cubic meters that have been stolen annually since the building of those dams 40 years ago, so after building those dams and stopping the gaza valley's water, we are talking about hundreds of millions of cubic liters stolen from the israeli side. sources of ground

since the building of those. dams 40 years ago, so after building those dams and stopping the gaza valley's, groundwater is being a subject of secret war that only allah and specialists of the field are aware of. the israeli occupation has built thousands of wells around the gaza strip, preventing approximately 30 to 40 million cubic meters from naturally reaching the strip. so preventing the water of this valley from running into the gaza strip is a theft of palesty. the israeli occupation does not only steal gaza's portion of the ground water and the aquifer, the occupation has stolen hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water through this way settlements that had existed in the ghaza strip for tens of years and this area was occupied by israel, it was known as the goshkatif settlement, the israeli occupation used to steal ground water from the area. this pipe is the only evidence that was used in stealing hundreds of millions of cubic meters of drinkable ground water. now we are in almoasi area in continuus. this area suffers severely from water scarcity and solinity, its ground water

the same goes for the gaza valley, one of the largest pools in palestine, providing gaza with about 25 several tributaries, but the drillings to extract more water have negatively impacted the amount of water carried up to the gaza strip. that amount depends on the rainfall and varies from year to year, but generally speaking, it used to be good and useful for the sub-surface reservoir, but now the reality is that the sewage from all over the gaza middle zone pous into the gaza valley, which is depth. and gaza are seasonal valleys, not permanent ones. these valleys were closed by the israeli regime in the year 2000 so as to create huge catchment areas. there are about seven catchment areas for collecting surface water. they are used by the israeli regime irrigate. the areas it occupies, therefore nothing has reached from these surface waters to the ghaza strip since the year 2000. منذ عام 2000 تقريبا. as we know since the 1970s, that is about 40 to 45 years ago, the israeli regime has drilled many wells alongside the ground water streams that flow into the ghaza strip. this is for sure

than 10. hours to pack and leave to safe area literally they're saying that south of the of the gaza valley it has to be south south of the ghaza valley and if you don't do that you stay home you stay at your house at your own risk because the saying is going to be a battleground basically this they created a mini exodus many exodus in the in in those areas uh actually including my family uh, because the the horror that we've seen over throughout this week, it's unimaginable, no one in gaza ever expected such horror to be uh, to be inflected on them by this criminal apartide israeli regime, who has been ethnic, ethnically cleansing the palestinians in gaza every minute, every hour. and every day since since saturday evening, i'm saturday evening, i'm talking about the 7th of october when the heroic fighters of hamas, launch some 500 rockets towards the occupied territories and managed to uh infiltrate the border, kill, capture and uh basically liberate those slads that were occupied back in 1948, even for a temporary per. of time and even as we speak, according to military wing of the hamas

, gaza valley or wadi, is basically trying to send message to the international community that hey, we'reuh, what are we looking at in terms of uh what has transpired? i'm just wondering what you guys are going through there, in terms of the bombing, uh, are we are we looking any type of pattern when it comes to the bombing campaign, because the civilian casualties for the past 24 hours was horrific, how has today been compared to the day before? i think today today is much worse. "i mean, i can't keep up with the numbers, not even, even the ministry of health is unable to keep up with with the number of of deaths and the number of people are still under the rouble, i mean every hour, you get news, 10 people that were killed here, 10 people there, 15 there, 16 there, when i do the math in my head, it's like 200 people were killed today, i'm not sure of the number, but the large numbers of people, because i know one neighborhood that was carpet bombed by the israeli, air force, and i know that area very, very, very good, family who lived there or lived there before, and that area that was

i don't think so, because you know the northern part of the area north of the gaza, gaza valley is is kill zone as far as the israel are concerned, so all... around half million people are still there and those people literally are condemned to death by the israeli regime, they hitting every place left and right killing and shooting and everything and that's the case now a international eight agencies like the un or icrc can go there under coordination with the israeli regime and they cannot help these people, no one can help them, as i said the safest part is south of the gaza or valley and that safest part is in a bad shape, you imagine how the other sides? i see, and i was talking to ramala, and she was saying that some believe that this ground invasion that israeli armed forces of launched into ghaza, is in at kind of dividing ghaza into two parts, northern and to actually cut this link between the two side, are you also here uh the same bank? by the way, they this is strategy that israel has been doing for nearly since 1948 regarding ghaza, always divide the gas trip parts so the

also continuous bombing a bombing campaign heavy bombing bombardment of al zahra city between the gaza valleycity, zahra city is part of the northern cities uh over the gaza strip, it's the it's the southern most city in the uh and the in the ghaza strip uh just. just before the gaza valley, there are hundreds of buildings there and already the israeli uh bombardment mainly from the mediterranean through the naval naval uh firing of naval shells and other uh projectiles at those at the al zahra city, they already uh destroyed at least at least 50 buildings there, it seems the israeli regime. is has made decision to destroy al-zahra city completely, now people in other cities for example, or housing complexes and for example in khan yunis is one called hamad housing complex and people there are bracing themselves for a possibility that we they would that the israeli regime at one point after ending their uh their campaign and in gaza they will start uh destroying uh other housing projects in in the gaza strip. the israeli regime doesn't want those who are displaced uh and disposessed right now

the term waddy, as i said, means gaza valley. roughly the middle of the gaza strip.anslation of the leaflet. the idf has not offered any explanation to us as to why or how there is a discrepancy between what they printed in arabic, and how that actually translates. with us to discuss the developments and the road ahead, i am joined by ambassador -- he is a top palestinian diplomat with the title of deputy permit observer of the state of palestine at the united nations. ambassador, thanks for being here. you speak arabic, you are not a transit or by profession, so you can't verify this. but did you basically follow what i was saying and what do you make of it? >> yes. it is consistent with the narrative that you have to evacuate or your death is something acceptable. international says that civilians are protected wherever they are. you cannot use the war as cover for false displacement of people. >> under any circumstance? why can people say, they voted for hamas, first of all, that's interesting discussion, because that was in 2006. but even if you voted for somebod

towards uh the balalah khanus rafah and other other villages south of the the gaza valley uh two days ago that number has jumped to 8000. now i believe the number is much much higher uh because of what people saw uh the the atrocities that that took place since israel declared the the northern part of the gaza strip as a war zone and a combat area uh people started heading some people you know panicked and started to to move. and that's normal other people decided to uh to stay and i know all of them were killed friends and family included and uh more more and more and uh people okay uh i couldn't tell right now that that sound what it was, i thought rackers were fired being fired from gaza they were like... more rockets uh uh being fired by the israeli regime uh towards the the cities and and the southern part of the ghaza strip so that as trucks were making their way uh across the the the ghaza valley the gaza wadi israel fighter jets bomb them killing women and children - trying to uh trying to disorient the people in gaza. so if you want me to leave the area so can you to attack s

khanunis was declared some sort declared along with other the other southern cities south of the gaza valley declared as safe place for people to leave the northern part of the gaza strip, but still people are dying, i mean you hear explosions all the time, but not as... as frequent as you do as as we did when we were in gaza, it's crazy, the they're telling, they're asking 1.1 million palestinians living in gaza city, in al zahra city and bethan, jabalya, bethlahya to leave immediately, this is the order that was made by the israeli regime military spokesman yesterday to leave... all those areas and go south of the gaza valley towards nirat, bridge, and khanunis, so we're supposed to be in kanunes, safe place allegedly according to the israeli military, but what's scary then about this whole thing, it's not about the death and killing, the scariest thing i saw yesterday, which is new nakbah a new catastrophe, and you nak, i was, i was born in 1972, the nakba took place in 1948, and you i believe you know what nakba is, you've covered at many times, it's the displacement and disposition of p

, sorry north of the gaza valley to come and seek refuge, so uh, according to. rough estimates, about 700,000 people have made their way across the the the the ghaza valley south, going to areas like anywhere south of the ghaza valley is supposed to be safe, this is according to the israeli military, but the fact it's not, because when i say 71 people were 71 people were killed in khans and we were talking uh in area very close to this hospital and this hospital itself is is is is was built within uh the khanist refugee camp so left right north west it's all refugees palestinian refugees living in these areas uh so yes everywhere in gaza killing is taking place like if for but we cannot go to gaza city and cover because literally will we will be committing suicide so we're not gonna do that and this is why i'm here in khanunis not because my family is khan my family is khanunis for one reason and that is because my my uh my daughter-in-law's parents are from xanyunus so my son told me that let's move to hannuness is safe i said whatever okay i'm going. anyway because the whole office

northern part of the gaza strip that include gaza, bathanon, jabalya, everywhere, north of the gaza valley to hit south for safety, they did not say um that they will not bomb, they just say it's for your own safety. leave gaza, leave the northern parts of of of the gaza strip, they never said that it's going to be safe place in khan unis, so basically they said, in other words, it says, or what we understood as residents, for example, myself, gaza city, is that if you stay in gaza, you most likely you will die, and this is what happened, but they kept bombing and uh killing innocent civilians everywhere south of the gaza valley over the last three nights. yeah, i lost, i lost, i lost, i lost the money count, you couldn't, you are not able to count, too many, too many children, too many women coming in, uh, dead on arrival, so israel wants to vacate the gaza strip on the northern part of the gaza strip, so it can come in with a ground incursion and maybe uh... attack from the from the sea and try and uh get rid of the hamas resistance fighters and other resistance fighters, so by bringing

by the gaza valley and this is the line the israelis have told people to evacuate across.s like. we managed to verify this video from social media and as you can see, people are fleeing with every single possession they have come at their carts, donkeys, people crammed into and onto cars. a reminder of what people are leaving behind, this is a video taken by our correspondent and this is what the devastation that i can gaza city. building turned to rubble. but how do you tell 1.1 million people to leave? this is one of the way they do that, so these are leaflets that come down from the skype from israel defence forces and these are the white little specks you can see her. —— come down from the sky. id read here in arabic you must leave and evacuate immediately and go south of the line we showed you earlier. we know they send them tweets and let them via phone messages. the un has called this order impossible with disastrous humanitarian consequences. more on that and the rest of our headlines here on bbc news injust a moment. hello there. good afternoon. plenty of rain aro

people in the north of the gaza strip need to evacuate beyond the gaza valley for their own safety. the steps are in anticipation like we ourselves evacuated the people from the southern communities in surrounding areas of the gaza strip in order to keep people out of harm's way, we're encouraging them to leave. and unfortunately what we have seen is hamas is telling people no, stay and sacrifice yourself. the situation on the ground is as such the military is expanding its operations in order to strike hamas and prevent them from ever being able to attack us again. we are still buryingered by ham. there are about 200 funerals a day and he we're still burying them and still bodies in the field itself that we're having difficulty getting to because of the situation on the ground. so i would say, yes, people who care for their lives need to listen very carefully to what the idf is saying. people of gaza are not our enemy. and they should listen when we say we are very serious about destroying hamas' capability to ever inflict such terrorism on our people ever again. >> it is not even a

israel told gazans to move south of the wadi gaza valley. all of gaza's borders are shut aid workers say a humanitarian corridor must be opened to at least allow in food, water, and medicine to southern gaza. >> everybody from gaza is moving towards where we are 1 million people, no food, no water we have got to treat them, but my thought is, all these people in the hospital cannot be evacuated where is humanity? where is people's hearts in the world? >> reporter: the u.s. is working to contain this war, but it's already spreading to the west bank where more than 40 palestinians have been killed in violent clashes, and in lebanon where the deputy chief of hezbollah, a militant group that supports hamas, said it would act when the time is right. an israeli strike in lebanon near the border with israel today hit a group of foreign journalists killing a reuters videographer and injuring six others. as the situation in gaza deteriorates, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu appeared before cameras today to say, this is only the beginning, th

safe, it doesn't matter where you go, although israeli regime declared an area so south of the gaza valley or the gaza wadi to be safe haven for those who seek not to be inside uh that war zone north of of of of the wadi still nowhere safe every time there's bombing here there i'll tell you my story on the on the third day of the war i remember it was monday yeah it was monday and i get a call from an israeli uh intelligence agent, he speaks better arabic than my arabic and he says i want you to take your kids out of the house and leave immediately and go as far as 20 kilometers away from your neighborhood and you have half an hour to do that, so i thought someone was joking, but you know i'm not going to take chances, so i i called up my son, back back whatever you can, let's get out of here, and then we we we left the house and we forgot many things even valuable. because for us life is more valuable than all that the other materials. that was around 3:00 p.m. usually when they call when the israelis call someone they bomb the house within within minutes or sometimes within half an hour,

here, people are sleeping. on uh on the sidewalk, especially in the areas uh south of uh of the gaza valleythe northern parts of the ghaza strip to leave it, to leave them, otherwise they will be targeted by israeli forces and even those who managed to come to southern parts of the ghaza strip, including and other other towns in the southern part of gaza, even those were not spared by israeli bombs, as israeli warplanes uh directly targeted trucks that were hauling people uh over uh the the valley and to the south of gaza, it seems beruz the international community. especially with the security council uh decision not to get involved is basically telling telaabiv go ahead ethnically sorry for jumping it just what what this means sorry let me just announce what's going on we have these uh live images out of gaza now and and again what this familiar scene that we've been witnessing in the past 10 days a huge now bloom of smoke going up into the... air which is signaling more losses of life and unfortunately that constitutes uh mainly uh women and children somewhere in gaza is again hit uh ash

every city in the ghaza strip, even the the cities like khanunas, which are and south of the the gaza valley of the gaza wadi, were supposed to be safe haven according to the israel regime, they are being bombed as well. ashraf, the military wing of the palestinian resistance movement has amas has said that it once again targeted tel aviv with a rock. in response to the ongoing israeli bombardment uh, there's also been uh comments coming from various resistance leaders that the capabilities, the military capabilities and retaliatory capabilities of the resistance groups have not changed since the war started, so where is israel targeting then, if it's destroyed thousands of buildings, if it's been bombing ga for 20 days and the attacks are still coming, that shows that they are targeting, in fact civilian inf'. structure, yes, by this, this is total failure for of this is strategy, basically they're killing innocent civilians, they're not targeting resistance fighters or resistance infrastructure, so it's the the hubiliation that the israeli regime received on october 7th, still causes, has

the leaflets warned folks, quot your presence north of the gaza valley puts your life in danger.o anybody who choose, who chose not to evacuate from the northern strip, to the south of gaza valley. it's possible they will be considered as a partner to terrorist organizations. now, the israeli government, however, says its military has no intention of considering those who have yet to evacuate as part of a terrorist group. in tel aviv today, another show of american solidarity with israel, after the hamas attack on october 7th. a bipartisan group of senators led by republican lindsey graham visited israel where they promised more resources and assistance. on thursday, more than 20 million people watched president biden give another powerful expression of support for israel. and ukraine take a listen. >> american leadership is what holds the world together. american alliances is what keep austin america safe. american values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with. to put all that at risk, and walk away from ukraine, return our backs on israel. it's just not

everything inside those areas, so uh, according to the israeli regime, safe areas are south of the gaza valley, but in reality, nowhere is safe, you can walk outside this hospital right now and get hit by a drone, hundreds of people have died since last night, and thousands more. sorry hundreds more were injured and we exp expect more death and destruction as the the night continues. all right, thank you for that, we appreciate it, that's shano corresponded there talking to us from uh khan, let's now bring in peter ford and uh ask him um what he thinks. peterd, welcome uh, you know, what i'm what i'm looking at the uh immediate future here in terms of the military uh plans. that israel has uh there's almost two stories that are out there, one is the eminent ground invasion, which has been covered quite a bit that it's going to happen, that's going to that's going to happen that it seems to be the thing where it's on edge almost. that it's going to happen any moment, at the other end of the spectrum, we have uh conflicting reports about the way that the us is going about this, because it seems

of the gaza strip towards the southern parts of of ghaza trip that means from the ghaza wadi or gaza valley uh because the israeli regime has declared the entire area north of the ghaza wadi as a war a war a war area and anyone goes their risks losing his life from from you know fighting uh despite all the warnings from the regime, the at least half million people inside those part of the gas strip and the are and the they amount to most of the the fatality that has been has been take place the last uh as the ministry of of health talked about this the numbers fatalities they're talking about around 8300 but in reality the the number is much higher because we know for sure at least 2000 people are missing for more than days now, so there is no way for them to survive under the rouble, so my own estimate is over 10,00, maybe 11,00 people have been killed so far, just yesterday around 500 people were killed during strikes, yesterday 500 people killed during air strikes, and not even counting those under the rock, israel decide to call, not talking about kill, call, calling palestinians in gaz

eah,hese are evacuations from gaza city effectively down into the gaza valley, and the u.n. is warning that the situation in gaza is, quote, a matter of life and death as 2 million people now risk running out of water completely. people are being forced to use dirty water from wells, and they say we need to truck fuel into gaza now. if not, they say people will start dying. as you report, there are sort of, quote, safe corridors for those who have tried to leave, but this is a monumental task and very late last night the u.n. was suggesting it's almost impossible. we're getting reports from hospitals, not the least of those run by msf saying how on earth are we to evacuate hospitals, the elderly, those at ill? they're getting the corridors established immediately on top of what is the safe zone is absolutely front and center here. getting aid into the rafah border crossing is also, you know, massively important, and i know that's being discussed by regional leaders as they talk to the u.s. secretary of state who, of course, is doing the rounds at present. there is aid sitting

well, basically about 1.6 million living on the southern part of south of gaza wadi or the gaza valley, and the rest of the population of the 2.2 million are current. on the northern part, that northern part includesrat, zahra, brage, magazi, gaza study, refugee camp, basically they did not enter any of those, just on the outskirt, they're circling around the gaz, they're not entering, the city is proper, and there are heavy clashes taking part as we speak, and we learned that uh brigades. have been fighting these fights with these uh against this tanks uh while israeli drones uh and helicopter guns and f16 f35s are protecting the tampon all right thank you for that ashrab commander director of the center for counter hegemonic studies joins us tim handerson uh anderson we welcome to the program we're looking at this uh ground incursion of which uh the way that this is working out seems to be uh going along the lines of like what are there said splitting the gaza serp in half, but in terms of the actual, i should say, the action that's taking place on the ground, we do understand based

myself and my family, we lived in gaza city, and uh, we had to move south of the gaza wary or the gaza valley i used to go and have coffee or a breakk or take a shower uh when i take break from work. unbelievable, unbelievable ashraf, i can't imagine what it is like there, and and and what you're going through and all the other journalists too, and and trying to on the one hand report on this, at at the same time, going through all the trauma that the rest of the people are going through at the same time, ashraf, mean it, do you think that there's someone in gaza, families in gaza? that they have not lost the loved one or have not lost a home um i want to just it just seems that everyone has been affected no matter where they are. well say you either uh when you live when you're in the gaz strip you either lose family member, a cousin, a destinate cousin, a friend or a close friend, that's what happens, me personally 80 e 80 members of my extended family were killed including my aunt and my my cousins, my god and this is just a small is a small example of example of of. i'm a small example of

israel's been retaliating with relentless airstrikes on gaza valley to topple hamas. rulers of the palestinian territory. the un is reporting at least 200,000 people have also been displaced tonight in san francisco, people gathered at dolores park for a public prayer for both palestinians. >> and israelis kron four's sara stinson intended. she joins us now live in the studio with details. good evening, >> yeah, it didn't matter whether you stood for israel or palestine. tonight's event aimed to be us safe space for everyone to grieve and pray for all the people affected by the war. >> dozens of people gathered in san francisco's dolores park tuesday night to recite the mourners cottage. a jewish prayer meant to mourn the death of a loved one. organization, if not now bay area organized this event for people to grieve together of all the lives lost in the israel, hamas war, both palestinians and israelis, despite sprinkles of rain coming down, 3 candles glowed in their it was an extremely powerful event. i'm so grateful for all the people who share their stories and >

they're saying that about half million people have already moved. moved south of the gaza, the gaza valley, and threats have been issued by the israeli military, not only to people and houses, also to churches as well as international organization, organizations and hospitals, several hospitals have been directly warned, they've given several ultimatums to vacate the the the patients, otherwise that... the uh the hospitals will be bombed, so far what has happened, for example allowed the hospital in northern ghaza and al-quds hospital or also known as the the the palestinian red cristan society, they couldn't move because not that they would want to move, it's just it's impossible for them to move, there are no there's no transportation, that's one thing, there's no there's enough ambulances and they're not dealing with regular people, you're dealing with injured people, you're dealing with uh people with very harsh medical conditions, so to move those people, move those injured people, whether men, women, children, it's in normal regular days with with fuel of... available with the ambula

here in the uh khannis, rafa and the and the other places in the southern part of south of the gaza valley, israel is committing massacres, but they know where they hitting, the they directly targeting whoever they want to target along with his family and friends. okay, thank you very much for that from khanness, let's bring in the farasali political commentator if we can from malmal sweden, to get an idea about... some analysis uh on the situation um fairly, welcome to the program, we're hearing what our corresponded the set in terms of the continuation of the bombardments that's taken place, we also know that uh there has been a lack of uh push in order to stop this uh war from continuing and that's coming from the western countries in particular and that can be divided basically into the group of the us and its allies, the us supporting israel and do we have uh fers ali with us? do you hear me? yes, i can hear your voice, do you can you hear my voice? okay, great. um, basically uh, the question that i'd like to ask, the thrust of the question is, um, there there's a desire by the world

these really answer would be. israel for hours now has been facing a barrage of rock inspired from gaza. valley is seen in slave on limited to rain, and that is the 1st massive attack on israel since the last operation of these really army that took place in may and not only southern communities as usual. bouldering guys that have been under fire, but also central part of the country including tell of even jerusalem, where i am right now. maybe you can hear the sirens have been heard all for all this morning. i indicating that the around me solid line, our direction and a missile defense system is a working and from time to time we hear is sounds all apparently me solves, intercepted and destroyed in the air, but i'm off from rockets. the army now confirms that a number of mass militants, that is a group that has been ruling a gaz us 3 for more than 16 years now, managed to infiltrate israel in different locations, including power assurance and both. this is how it was done and now they are inside israel. again, the reason i'm very odd summation from residence in the south, all israel, dozens o

these really on sir, would be israel for hours now has been facing at barrage of broken spies from gaza valley seen in and playing ball and limited to rain. and that is the 1st massive attack on israel since the last operation of these really army that took place in may and not only southern communities as usual, bouldering guys that have been under fire, but also central part of the country including tell of even jerusalem, where i am right now, maybe you can hear the sirens have been heard all crowd this morning, indicating that the round me solves line, our direction, and the missile defense system is a working. and from time to time, we hear a sounds of apparently miss solves, intercepted and destroyed in the air, but apart from rockets, the army now confirms that a number of mass militants, that is a group that has to be enrolling a gas us 3 for more than 15 years now, manage to infiltrate israel in different blood patients, including power insurance and bows. this is how it was done, and now they are inside israel. again, the rate is and verified information from of residence in the sout

they are trying to get to wasi gaza which dorance late to the gaza valley. e middle part of the gaza strip north of the gaza's second largest city. they are told they will be safe in this location. with so many people heading this direction, it does bring up issue of humanitarian aid. that's passionate of the reason that's in the conversation and negotiation. because you have got now the majority of the gazan population in the southern part of the gaza strip. they're going to need aid and food and water. >> brian: watch on the other side of the screen, trey, we think our u.s. citizens mixed in there trying to get out of gaza, trying to get into egypt. we will see if that gate actually opens. that's going to be something negotiated along the way. let's see if they can get to that gate. that's going to be the pearlless point. when they talk about taking out hamas. i see a list of six higher ups they have already killed. do you believe it's correct to call hamas an ideology, not an organization that, even if you kill all the higher ups, everybody responsible, ev

all they can do is go from the north below an area called gaza valley. n israel is suggesting below it they will be safe or safer. some people are choosing to stay in gaza city, however, particularly medical officials. they say they have an obligation to stay behind. they also say they can't move patients. this is not an easy thing to just pack up while under attack after you've already been under attack. you don't have supplies. you don't have food necessarily because the whole area has been cut off. you don't have power. you don't have water. so now you've just been told by any means just move south, take whatever you can. take your families with you, and start heading towards that egyptian border. there are people who are elderly who might not be able to do it. people who don't want to leave. so this is not -- i don't want to say an orderly process. this is just an order, a time that israel's given them to say get south however it happens, how you can do it. >> richard engel, i thank you so very much. appreciate your time. >>> let's go to raf sanchez.

they had to move south of wadi gaza, translates to gaza valley.s not a valley, it's more of a dent in the road with a creek that runs through the center of it, but the people are supposed to be safe if they go south of that. so 700,000 people, really trapped there hoping for the best. meantime, back here on the israeli side of the border, you can see the house behind me, that took a direct hit from the rockets last night and we're waiting to see. usually, about an hour after nightfall we see the flurries of rocket fire coming out of the gaza strip. david. david: mike tobin reporting from southern israel. thank you very much. more now on israel's expected ground invasion into gaza. what is that going to look like? what are the dangers? joining me now to discuss it, retired lieutenant general, and just about every danger you could imagine for the idf soldiers going there. it's going to be tough. first i want to ask you about the hostage situation and whether or not-- i've been asking some people who don't want to comment on it, did the fact that two
