since monday there is some movement on the ground in southern israel our correspondent who's there harry forsett joins us live this half hour harry or is going on. since sunset for about the last hour there has been an intense artillery barrage from this area close to the gaza strip in the direction of the gaza strip obviously behind what has been fairly substantial tank movement you can hear that behind us right now it's the most obvious movement of military hardware apart from what we saw coming in on the back of lorries that we've seen in our time here and as i say during more than an hour now the there's been a regular artillery barrage as well and this is coming on the day that the israeli military says that it is preparing a plan to give it to its political leadership for a potential ground operation now that doesn't mean and this doesn't mean that that ground operation is definitely going to happen it would be an enormous escalatory step if it did usually and certainly since 2014 israel under the government netanyahu as another artillery shell being fired has tried to avoid that and the a

target tell of even if israel continues to bomb safe houses and residential buildings we have harry forsett for us live in west jerusalem where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been meeting with his top security officials but 1st let's get the very latest from suffered who's in gaza for us suffer what bring us up to date with the situation in gaza today. we currently know in the bar ground god the seas of gaza city now are all empty people are back home. those who managed to get out today they both told put by what they need and then because no shelter so the only choice. is just just to stay home. at the end of this all. the time it is they have evacuated their homes because one of the residential buildings received a warning from the israelis that they wouldn't form. 'd their home so. the other hand in the last couple of hours the parents of the fire is live and. live today. doing that very nice you cut it out several attacks all over the gaza strip killing 4 palestinians including a senior islamic jihad. military commander let me jihad said they will retaliate for the finish and of

injured in various parts of the occupied territories so let's return now to our correspondent harry forsett who it is in in bethlehem the picture we're looking at her now looks relatively clear. earlier you were talking to our correspondent you were talking to. the presenter earlier and saying that this particular street is. is often the scene. it's a bit of a focal point isn't it for tensions but now we see it's relatively quiet it's been cleared clearly the israeli. military have managed to get all the protesters out ready. yes. becoming berkeley ready. we've just heard that 12 people now have been injured by life in bethlehem that's the latest figure we have. they they have cleared it but they've used they've used real bullets to do so that that was a live fire that we heard live on in just a few minutes ago and we saw one man injured taken away in an ambulance so there is a sense that this could easily repeat these phases of the phases of this kind of thing through the day and so the danger involved. for the palestinian protesters in doing so is now very clear in this specific part of t

the crisis that's after 2 closed door sessions failed to produce a joint response let's bring in harry forsett in southern israel harry we go into communist violence we've got missiles still being fired across the border we've got mr netanyahu amassing his forces on the border difficult to remember such a combustible time with these different variables coming into play now. indeed that's true and just as you are asking that question some more outgoing fire from long range heavy artillery which is just a little bit more now down the road from us in terms of what the israeli military has been doing recently it says that it is destroyed a facility housing hamas intelligence unit offices while they were inside it it says it is is destroyed offices used by other senior hamas figures and attacked the head of the drone unit this is after the use of attack drones suicide drone sometimes called earlier in the day also saying that they have struck at anti tank units as well at the same time as all of this of course there have been big bear raj's of rockets coming out from gaza towards the city of behavi

all very much intertwined our correspondents are across all of those locations as well there's harry forsett in southern israel we'll talk to him shortly also suffer 100 in gaza starting though abraham in ramallah in the occupied west bank and things have really developed behind you in just the last hour and later. yes and we have also one more palestinian who was confirmed dead by israeli fire in one of the confrontations that are going on in the occupied west bank we have hearing that there are more than $200.00 locations in the occupied west bank where palestinians are confronting with these radio army this makes the total total of palestinians killed in the occupied west bank since the early hours of friday to $54.00 of them in these confrontations and one the israeli army says he attempted to attack the israeli soldiers near the israeli settlement of we have no way to. verify the is ready narrative but this is something that usually also happens when palestinians are killed by israeli army's fire in military checkpoints the army's narrative is usually that someone tried to it. to conduc

and one of the city 7 suburbs a woman was killed there and 2 women died earlier on in ashkelon harry forsett sent us this report from southern israel. in the last half an hour or so we've seen quite a lot of this mobilization of serious military hardware here we're about 5000005 kilometers away from the northern part of the gaza strip and as you can see on these flatbed lorries are armored personnel carriers and tanks so the prime minister netanyahu the defense minister benny gantz coming out in the aftermath of that pretty enormous barrel of rockets hitting central israel and televisa of talking about a high price still to come for the the fighters inside gaza palace in islamic jihad and of course hamas and there's another explosion a distance and this is we're seeing here that there are more movements on the ground our coverage will continue at the top of the next hour from that at $2300.00 g. in about 25 minutes time inside story is coming up next. how concerned should we really about raising food prices or is this entirely down to the pandemic we bring you the stories and developments th

see what the situation is like best harry forsett. much calmer scenes behind you there is a bit of smoke drifting over your left shoulder there just talk us through what's happening. here that smoke is the remnants of tires that the protesters rolled up and started burning this is you know anybody who's been in the west bank going to them goes or any time over many decades would be familiar with that they they burn the ties and they stand behind them to you sling shots and throw stones and the like so that is the end of what was happening there but for now the israeli military forces have gone down another road some of them but mostly the back inside the. checkpoint base here which is built in to the separation barrier which is right in the heart here of this road in bethlehem. that's more tear gas so i think you can we. i don't know if we can pan round to the other road going to. you know you can see in the distance there israeli soldiers and beyond them that familiar sound now to everyone here of tear gas being fired from the canist

women were killed in the israeli city of ashkelon just north of gaza so in a moment we'll cross to harry forsett who is monitoring developments in southern israel 1st let's beat isaf what hoot in gaza and now we were speaking software to about the residential tower which came down and now there's been a great deal of focus on a number a lot which is just 20 meters from where you are what have you been seeing there. well it's still the same we are awaiting to see. and of this building because israel is there for 3 warning caracas at the top of this building called joe hart building where there are many international and local media groups including newspapers and t.v. . we could see. some journalists protesting just nearby the building because you know they have their offices inside this building still tens of. who were used to live in one of the building they found themselves in the hour at the end up in the streets waiting for a solution for the recent problem now we are the end of ramadan the holy month of fasting and about to start the feast that follows ramadan so people the things of famili

us need to bring him in ramallah in the occupied west bank will be with you know moment later harry forsett 1st of all in southern israel near the gaza barrier fence what are you looking at there harry. just more noise in the skies above sounds like an aircraft going over but there have been a lot over the last hour or so a lot of rocket fire and a lot of intersections pretty close to this junction that we're standing on which is as close as the israeli police are allowing us to get to the gaza border but the real intensity of the attacks coming out of gaza towards israel has been targeted on the coastal city of ashkelon which is a little bit north of us and it is there where as you were reporting those 2 women were killed in a strike on a house by a rocket that came out of gaza the reports are that it was an elderly woman and her helper more than 80 people injured inside that israeli city as well inside gaza as you are saying the death toll is now up to $27.00 including 9 children the israeli military has been talking about one of the strikes that it carried out earlier in the day that was

planned eviction of palestinian families from the neighborhood of an occupied east jerusalem earlier harry forsett filed this report from outside damascus gate we've also heard from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu promising a forceful response saying that israel did not seek escalation but that anyone who did seek escalation would feel israel's might. and talking about the fact that israeli soldiers israeli civilians and jerusalem itself and its surrounds had come under attack if people were wondering and they were about the fate of this monday the potential for this to be the day that things really blew up after all these weeks of simmering disturbances and tensions in jerusalem the answer is come and it's been pretty grim. there's been widespread international condemnation of the ongoing fighting and calls for deescalation the u.s. and e.u. say the violence needs to stop immediately the u.s. coast guard ship has fired warning shots as 13 boats belonging to the iranian revolutionary guard came close to american navy vessels in the strait of hormuz this is the 2nd such incident in less than

in a few moments we'll be talking to harry forsett who's in west jerusalem but 1st let's go to suffer. in gaza for us suffered bring us up to date with the very latest from gaza. you know we can start with a lengthy statement by the murder of the military wing of hamas and other custom brigades he said that we warned the israelis from targeting the civilians on the residential building but as they continue they we will also 'd continue targeting television just a few seconds ago we could hear our longer range rockets fired from gaza into israel and we could hear the explosions also that the israeli. system intercepting the rockets that been fired from gaza on the other hand we could see lots of panic here in gaza in gaza city and all over the gaza strip not only in gaza city 'd we have been receiving calls around 'd and around the clock every minute i receive a call from everywhere from a friend from relatives from neighbors that asking on a chicken checking about areas that have been to have been evacuated many people have been receiving phone calls to evacuate their home. just next

shortly but 1st here's harry forsett with the situation at damascus gate. so another night of tension here in occupied east jerusalem this is what we've been seeing a pattern throughout the night every now and again israeli security forces moving in to clear certain areas around damascus gate so far the clashes the skirmishes tonight have been less intense than they were over the last couple of days certainly of what we saw on saturday night was a good deal more intense in terms of physical violence however there have been uses of the skunk water cannon the chemical waste water cannon to clear areas as well as repeated use of stun grenades as well the driver of much of this continues to be the situation in the occupied east jerusalem neighborhood of shesher are where palestinian families face a dictionary and a court case which was due to take place on monday to hear whether the appeal of some of those families would be heard that has now been put off for at least 30 days that does give the opportunity for some respite some breathing space of more pushing o

and real concern about what could happen on the gaza front as well ok we're up to date then with harry forsett in occupied east jerusalem thank you ok about the israeli government's reaction there we've heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu he has praised the police for supporting what he called a just struggle and for upholding law and order and. really bush allusion our struggle is taking place in the heart of jerusalem this is not a new struggle this is a struggle between intolerance and tolerance between law breaking and violence and law and order the struggle is not new because it has transpired over jerusalem and the heart of jerusalem for centuries since the rise of the monotheistic religions for years one side ruled and excluded the 2 others and sometimes they changed them and the same thing happened you can say that in the long history of jerusalem only under israeli sovereignty since 1967 we are witnessing a continuous and stable secure period in which we are working to ensure freedom of worship and tolerance for all. let's check palestinian reaction now with him reporting fro

here is the team this hour with all the developments right hand side of the screen is harry forsett in bethlehem we've got imran khan in southern israel as well near to a crossing into gaza we've also got you. in gaza but we're going to start in ramallah neda abraham who hopefully you can hear me at this point. and need to tell us about developments in the occupied west bank today. we are here in the lead a city near the league of israeli settlement of bet to tell where possibly improve the sisters have been coming here for the past few days but this time we're seeing the largest protests that we've seen since the assassination started in the gaza strip on monday and. there are hundreds of palestinians. moving them out. of here gassed by these raids are. we seeing more and more of the looting that we need been talking to activists than we've been saying to them that why are you what what do you want what do you hope to achieve from these protests and these this is not just about the latest escalation in the siege gaza strip and and the incidents that happened before they have to go to

an update now with harry forsett who's outside alex in occupied east jerusalem you were saying earlier harry that the that the main violence the worst violence happened probably 7 or 8 hours ago now what's been happening more recently. well that's right that there has been a brief flare up of those very concerning images from inside the mosque compound but here at damascus gate and indeed more generally the focus is now beginning to switch to what is going to happen in the coming hours this is known as jerusalem day 2 israeli jews it commemorates according to the their religious calendar the day that israeli forces seized the occupied the east east jerusalem which was under jordanian control in 1967 they call it the unification of jerusalem of the palestinians of course it's the beginning of military occupation here in the east and every year we see tens of thousands of largely religious nationalist flag waving israelis marching through the alleyways of the old city the question is whether they will be allowed to do so this year with the tensions running as high as they are there were

the aftermath of what's going on there in gaza let's talk to harry forsett he's need to mask his gate area harry as we were talking to need to get it for him in the occupied territories as well we have been looking and examining what's going on with the al-jazeera and the associated press media building in gaza city but this is continuing up and gaza up and on israel. yes that's right there have been strikes continuing from the israeli military inside gaza very considerable ones you heard our colleague suffered talking about some of those earlier there also been large barrages once again coming out from inside gaza the israeli. center has been struck again with ramat gan just outside the center of tel aviv a rocket getting through there in a 55 year old man be killed unable to get to a shelter it was reported with a rocket piercing that the front door of his home and so this is a continuing military escalation in power level and particularly now with sunset approaching the focused returns again for many people to the eruption of racial committal violence that we've been seeing every n

the ground and in the air over that crucially important israel gaza border area let's bring in harry forsett our correspondent in southern israel harry just get us up to speed with where we think we are right now such a difficult situation to predict. yeah i just want to get up speed on something that has literally just happened as you were reading the headlines there was an enormous volley of rockets fired right over our heads we're inside a shelter now which is why you can't see me in vision which we are very close to with the camera and a number of the distance from us long very close to our position right here guys do you think it's safe to go back outside and not yet we're going to stay where we are right now this follows what we saw around sunset which was a major movement it seemed of israeli heavy weaponry tanks and other armored vehicles tracked vehicles heading south from the position towards the cause of the border at the same time and that is a very extensive barrel of israeli ought to really. come up from behind it it seemed like there was covering fire or even further than that

happening this tuesday we've got media bring him in ramallah in the occupied west bank we've got harry forsett in occupied east jerusalem i want to start though with harry's report on the overnight escalation. for days the question is hung over the simmering city would monday jerusalem day 2 israelis marking the start of israel's occupation of east jerusalem be the day of definitive violent eruption as the hours tick by the answer came repeatedly grimly in the affirmative at 6 o'clock as threatened hamas launched a long range rocket attack on jerusalem's outskirts. and by nightfall it was counting a growing number of dead including children as the israeli military struck gaza one blast in the northern city of beit hanoun killed 9 people including 3 children and assad let it out that the children 8 months old were killed mohammad who is getting married 5 days after eat was killed how is this a children's fault that girls between the ages of 7 and 9 died how is this their fault we were just sitting outside the house waiting for the call to prayer from us military sources told us they believed is

with each other and now we see these scenes of just racial violence in towns across the country harry forsett with the latest there in a southern israel hairy for the moment thank you. ok well let's go to gaza now and let's talk the south was a little too is there for us and now a what is the latest there what what have we seen happen in the past hour. let's start with the latest information we received a local national daily called aloha has just reported about the international american and egyptian of a 4th that had been exerting to push for reaching a calmness in the coming hours are really important to to show all of these efforts are successful or not on the ground back to the field the israelis a few minutes ago they have destroyed completely a bank in the center. of gaza another fiji come right it's called the national and is living this bank has been destroyed and in the war of 2014 because the israelis accuse the bank of dealing with hamas or that hamas is bones this is this bank this is the latest on the on the other hand. we are receiving information from another israeli air strik

let's go live now to harry forsett who's in southern israel near gaza what have you been seeing at the border in the past few hours harry. well we saw the very very large barrage among other things coming out from gaza in the direction of tel aviv and i think we have to emphasize just how big a moment that that was in the story of this escalation so far it's not something that we saw on the scale in any of the wars since 2008 the 3 wars between israel and hamas in gaza and it is delivered a real shock to the system for the israeli people and certainly the israeli government that the statement that you saw there came from benjamin netanyahu he was accompanied by the defense minister benny gantz and the head of the internal security agency shin bet and their words weren't particularly. that they didn't really address that the sheer scale of what had taken place but the fact that they all came out so soon afterwards does suggest that there is a recognition that this is a major moment in this confrontation we've also seen military hardware being moved around here about 5 kilometers north o
