this is a retaliation there were also responded hamas they showed. at least three rockets were fired by hamas in the last hour towards israel so it's not. just that israel is attacking the hamas is using violence on the border by attacking the idea of soldiers on the other side of the border not in gaza itself. sure shooting rockets and mortar shells towards israel and so this is the duty of these really defense forces to protect the citizens of these were and. how confident are you about the accuracy of these strikes that this there will be no civilians injured. i think that hamas expected these air attacks these are only attacks on the military facilities. the military infrastructure of hamas and other organizations in gaza it's not on civilian targets it's only on the military facilities and hamas evacuated all these facilities the early this afternoon so they dissipated it and i don't think there will be civilian casualties. how do you think this will be viewed globally as you said it is an escalation what do you think the international response

after israel's biggest attack against hamas militants in gaza for four years, hamas say a ceasefire's taken place in the american state of oregon, after a man from texas climbed to the top of mount hood in an apparent suicide attempt and had to be airlifted by helicopter. daniel mckerrell has more. perched on the side of a mountain, a helicopter from the oregon national guard is hovering at over 11,000 feet above sea level with just its rear wheels touching down on the snow. it had been called in to rescue a man who, authorities say, had attempted suicide on the summit of mount hood, along with six mountain rescue personnel who had gone up to save him. the slope of the mountainside was so sleep, the rotor blades of the chinook helicopter were spinning dangerously close to chest height. because of the angle, we had to crawl out there just to get under the rotor blades. it's kind of surreal, but you just have to trust the pilots know what they are doing. local media say the man climbed to the peak of mount hood on thursday with no plans to descend. the man sent a distress call to the co

frustration they reach with both hamas and the p.a. it is unlikely to stop people who feel did not achieve their objectives they paid a very high price there more than a hundred forty young men and women getting shelled drin killed and many more injured so the only way forward is to continue formal demonstration there's no point of demonstrating in inner city areas so the only place they can demonstrate is by the border to israel know the innovation in terms of tools of attack that we see today in terms of using kites balloons sitra is again to me is a sign of desperation these people are having to find any possible way to. hurt or at least upset the israelis in order to draw attention to their cause they are almost two million people living in an open air prison for the last twelve years and something has got to be done about it is totally unsustainable south america could talk to so many thanks indeed for being with us. the u.s. president total trump has asked his administration to invite russia's leader vladimir putin to washington

we were expecting more of a response from hamas certainly all indications suggest that like israel hamas does not want another war in our we understand that have asked did respond with three rockets before that cease fire was called two of which at least were intercepted by the. syrian rebels who surrendered in the countries south of the ghana riving in hama in the north they've been given safe passage after weeks of fighting in the neighboring data province the agreement is being seen as a major victory for president bashar al assad whose forces have retaken much of the south and those are the headlines i'll be back with another bulletin of news for you a little over twenty five but it self to today's edition of inside story next. on counting the cost of stronger growth forecasts for sub-saharan africa but a big challenge is looming the world's second biggest aviation tradeshow takes off in the u.k. plus why three d. printed buildings are causing some. counting the cost on the. government. to heat it's another. violent protests in the spread north all the way to the capital about what's

israel says it's conducting the largest daylight attack on hamas since the gaza war in twenty fourteen israeli jets were seen targeting several neighborhoods in the gaza strip and smoke could be seen rising above gaza city the military says that it struck dozens of hamas targets meanwhile how mass more than seventy rockets at southern israel overnight israel's on the system intercepted some of them one though exploded near an israeli border community there are no reports of injuries amassed says the attack was meant to stop israeli escalation let's go live now to gaza al-jazeera has been at smith is that for us but what is it that israel is targeting right now that. well it's been quiet adrian for the last couple of hours there have been a couple of explosions in between that we think the iron dome was sounded like the iron dome activating maybe about ten minutes ago but much quieter than it was earlier on in the day when israel hit these forty targets mainly sort of hamas or training facilities blocking two of the armed groups in guards are very carefully targeted it seems most of the

numerous attacks by the israelis against hamas positions hamas military bases we know that there was summary missiles launched by ham ass two of which were deceptive by the i and. the fact is is that nobody wants war here let's not forget that have houses for three will is with israel since taking power again in two thousand and seven the gaza strip two million people so that live here have suffered twelve years of israel's scene which so i think it's safe to say that certainly they all support chief over what they describe as restraint from him so i think it's also important to look at the kind of the wider political questions and won't have mouse and fatah trying to do with respect to reconciliation we understand that have masses accepted the latest egyptian proposal for this sort of reconciliation looking forward to a potential unity government in gaza but we understand that fatah have now got that proposal and we're waiting and also for an answer from them that seem polson so analysts say because it would they if there is some sort of reconciliation between fatah and hamas and a

they deserve a much better life than what is imposed on them by hamas. we respect everyone's right to peacefully protest, but no one should be fooled about the role of hamas. [cheers and applause] many of the protesters in gaza are anything, but peaceful. if they were peaceful, there would be no burning tires, there would be no molotov cocktails, there would be no flaming swastika kites flying into israel, burning thousands of acres of land. and, of course, if this was a peaceful movement, there would not be hundreds of rockets fired from gaza into israel. leak any country would do, israel has responded to the violence at its border. what is so stunning is the international reaction to all of this. think about it. if there were tens of thousands of people looking to attack your border fence, and you had a terrorist group providing guidance on how best to kill innocent civilians inside your country once the border fence was broken, what would you do? what would the united states do? what would any country do? when i heard country after country in the u.n.

the boys were killed another dozen people injured israel says the building was a hamas urban training facility now it's become another reminder of israel's power over gaza. israel says the target was hamas in response to rocket attacks and israel has warned repeatedly of a harsh military response if hamas which runs gaza did not stop protestors from sending burning kites and balloons into israel and setting fire to crops all they can do just send bellew's flying kites and we've seen that no israelis were killed . while on the palestinian side one hundred more than one hundred thirty five people killed where you have. killed people killed. children so i don't think that's up of equation then larry does not equal to. life. after twenty four hours of israeli airstrikes and hamas approved rocket fire egyptian mediators managed to broker a cease fire the u.n. special envoy to the region says all out war was narrowly averted the frustration that people here in gaza feel is completely understandable it is boiling over put it has been boiling over for months before the protests started i thin

activity is treated by hamas throughout the last month with great severity hamas chose to escape the security situation and move the consequences for its actions. now israeli civilians who live along the gaza border have been ordered to stay near bomb shelters and at the same time hamas has been evacuating commandos and posts in a in anticipation that the violence could intensify now there has been massive strikes earlier in the week that comes after the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu also threatened that he would strike back. during the summer we hit hard my policy is clear when anyone seeks to harm us we will strike back with great force. now late on friday afternoon there was again protests along the israel gaza border according to the gaza health ministry some four people were killed and more than one hundred and twenty injured that came in response following that what happened is that you had the israel saying that it was issuing retaliate three strikes after its troops had been fired upon and so that sparked the latest round of violence well we are also hearing rep

activity is treated by hamas throughout the last month with great severity hamas choose to the security situation a move the consequences for its actions last night's strikes were the worst we've seen. as an effort to move between israel and hamas in that war more than two thousand palestinians were killed and seventy three israelis now there was an israeli air strike. heavy israeli air strike only one week we are hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that he will continue to strike back at home us during the summer we hit hard our policy is clear when anyone seeks to hamas we will strike back with great force this is just the second ceasefire in some six days so of course the question is then asked whether or not it will hold egypt to the united nations brokered both cease fires and what we have heard from the united nations is that a massive of the scale war was averted tensions on the ground however the main tense people are an easing and the question of course is if and when will be another showdown when i ask people here the question most people believe they wi

what is hamas trying to achieve?ion imposed by israel and egypt and palestinian authorities. there have been sanctions from mahmoud abbas dating back to an assassination attempt against a palestinian minister. it seems they are using kites and rocket and mortar fire to get out of the isolation. just getting back to the point you made earlier about gaza being a powder keg, that is basically to avoid full—blown conflict between hamas and israel once again. we have had a 3.5 year lull since the last major conflict. neither side wants open confrontation. both sides want to avoid that if they can be it is difficult to avoid when you have a back and forth exchange of violent. there is going to need to be some new approach to gaza. people are working on it. the white house itself, i believe, is working on a new approach to gaza, because there is wide recognition ofjust how dangerous the situation is. what might the new approach in tail? the focus is less on the big—ticket projects in gaza which are the focus of the past and

hamas is going to continue to play for time. they will continue to be open to the ongoing egyptian efforts to reach some kind of arrangement with their palestinian political rivals just the other day hamas agreed to another egyptian brokered palestinian reconciliation proposal how mass is open to a point to giving up governance in gaza and bringing the palestinian authority in back into the gaza strip to some extent if they think that that could ease the plight of the population and ease their own difficult political position so if there is a way out of it that's one possibility. to date palestinian president abbas has not been particularly supportive of those efforts and frankly neither have israel or the united states but one way out is some sort of interim palestinian political arrangement. either way it order for the relationship to stabilize there needs to be measures to address the underlying israeli policies of the israel needs to lift its draco nian restrictions on the movement of people and goods so that gaza could once
