israeli civilians. that's what they do. israel targets the missiles and there are some civilian casualties because of the way the palestinians put their missiles in the densely populated areas, but hamas has deliberately been trying to kill innocent israeli civilians system of the iron dome replacement act which the united states has funned, we hope will continue and i know there will be strong bipartisan support on both sides. now any cease fire should contain the total disarming of hamas. any cease fire should contain the destruction of the tunnel which is, as my colleague very adeptly pointed out, those tunnels are made for terrible purposes. now the concrete that was coming into gaza, they could have built schools and mosques and skyscrapers, but what did they do? they built tunnels so they can try to kill israelis. and the media? shame on some of the coverage we've seen in the media. there's no moral equivalency between a terrorist group and a nation that values its citizens and wants to protect its citizens. no moral equival

it ended because the israelis say hamas continued to fire rockets from gaza into israel. as many as 25, they say, fired since that unilateral ceasefire on the israelis' side went into effect. what we're now seeing is there has been a renewal of the ground activity out by the israelis in response to what they say is continual rocket fire by hamas. israel did say when they agreed to the ceasefire at the request of the united nations, that if there was attacks carried out by hamas, it reserved the right to retaliate. they also said they'll continue with their ground operation, keeping their troops inside gaza, in place, holding their defensive positions, but also at the same time, continuing to search for a network of tunnels which hamas has dug under gaza and under the border of gaza and into israel. those tunnels have been used to send militants into israel to carry out attacks on israelis. israel has said they have found 31 of those tunnels, destroying 15 of them. it's taken ten days for that. and this military operation is now into its 20th day, so far all diplomatic effo

. >> we're going to take an update for developments on conflict between israel and gaza. israeli artillery attack. this killed at least 13 people. more than 200 people are reported wounded and thousands have fled the area. it was expanding a operation in gaza. 386 have been killed. the military says hamas has not stopped flying from gaza and is now infiltrating and attacking isra israel. >> how much pressure are you under? >> we're under huge pressure. we're under huge financial pressure. three to six months of recovery. that means shelter repair. that means social counseling for thousands of deeply traumatized people, particularly children. if people want to give they can do so through my twitter handle if you have any kquestions. unless we get the first part of the $60 million, our emergency relief will have to be curtailed. we budgeted 35 thousand. we have now doubled that. for example, we may not be able to continue procuring mattre mattresses. it sounds banal, but people need met resss so we need people to go and give. are your shelters currently full? >> we are absolutely f

again, this is from al aqsa, saying brigades killed ten israeli soldiers. israel is saying five israeli soldiers. again, cnn cannot confirm the authenticity of this video, independently confirm it. but if it's been edited. what do you make of this? does this prove your argument here? >> absolutely. it proves exactly what we're saying. there is a maze of terror tunnels in gaza all aimed to basically either murder, maim, or kidnap israelis. we found them with uniform of the idf, with syringes. they're out there, day in and day out. they're shooting rockets at us. so you have those terror tunnels. you the rockets. and basically, israel is saying, hey, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that if rockets fly on your head, you're allowed to defend yourself. >> no pun intended, i'm sure. it's more than just the tunnels. overnight, we aired some of it live here on cnn, the israeli military targeted some finance minute industry, hamas radio. it's a mosque. why those targets? and the follow-up questions about whether or not there should be a humanitarian e

horrific horrific conditions palestinians inside israel some of the some of the towns in cite israel israeli citizens look like refugee camps because israel treats them with contempt and does not allow them to grow does not allow them to build the question here is and as we've seen there is palestinian unity as we saw over the last few weeks the protests were not focus were not only in the west bank and in gaza there are protests in the north. protest in the south and other places an injured run jerusalem the issue is the world has got to intervene the world has to start treating israel the way treated apartheid in south africa pull away i mean pull out their ambassadors stop stop the trade begin to boycott and post sanctions on israel until dark and easier allows for the rebuilding of gaza allows for the repatriation of the refugees and allows for a real solution to this problem which like you said is not going to be the two state solution because israel killed it but a single democracy where israelis and palestinians to live free and equal until such time has not even made jones i don't kn

they do not think la mass wants to stop. >> what about appetite within isra israel. even though everyday israelis might have prepared themselves, they are taking losses. 27 israeli casualties. at what point will they say this is too much for our side to be losing? >> yagain, you know, trying to measure something we're fully aware of. they aren't just conflicted over the high cost of civilian lives and blood over soldiers. some say, look, we need to reoccupy gaza once more. now saying because of the security concerns, and the reason is, the status of going into gaza or fighting in gaza have been ones that come about every few years. they believe a cease-fire is not going to edged the threat gaza opposes to them. maybe it requires more long-term presence of the military to root out hamas and then return gaza back to palestinian control. >> martin savidge, thanks very much in jerusalem. let's turn our attention to our other big stories. five days off downing of ma lie sha airlines flight 17. a plane is set to fly the remains on to amsterdam. dutch foreign ministry tells

israel. the israeli army says this video shows hamas militants attacking israeli soldiers after emerging fromse concrete fortified passageways inside israel. hiding in the brush and killing four israeli soldiers, then attempting to retreat back inside. >> we recognize the threat that the tunnels pose to the israeli people. i can't imagine waking up every morning and fearing that a member of a terrorist organization was going to come through a tunnel into your city. that's what they're facing. >> the israeli military has known about these tunnels for quite some time. in 2006, palestinian extremists used a tunnel to ambush an israeli outpost killing two israeli soldiers and kidnapping a soldier. in this current conflict, the government has discovered more than 30 tunnels from gaza into israel. finding in some of them they say tranquilizers and handcuffs with which presumably more israelis would be kidnapped. the israeli government says it has completely or partially destroyed 16 of these tunnels using heavy equipment but how many more remain. israel has reached only a fraction of these palestin

israel. there's an israeli kibbutz eight the exit. entrance is in gaza. >> the tunnel threat has israel on edge. the idf says the sole purpose of these underground passages is to attack and kidnap israelis. >> it's very easy to kill and go and nobody know. there are people in the tunnel. >> the israeli mirt discovered this tunnel before it was finished. lieutenant colonel azulai believes it took hamas about two years to build. >> one meter for a day, a few meters for a day. and they need a lot of time to do it. >> the process of locating and destroying the tunnels also takes a long time. israeli officials say they've destroyed at least 15 tunnels so far. other tunnels are still being used. israel said today its troops killed five palestinian militants as they left the tunnel in gaza. >> lieutenant colonel, how long have you been working this tunnel? >> in this tunnel, we are working for like few weeks. >> few weeks already. >> yeah. >> israeli intelligence officers is use radar to track the development of these tunnels but the idf says

so, israeli officials now telling cnn that israel has agreed to the 72-hour cease fire. u have the israeli ambassador to the united nations with you. he probably knew this was coming, but we now have official word from the israeli government now. >> and thank you, wolf. ambassador, we now formally have this. and israel is on board with the cease fire. and you're trying to show me that the militants from hamas are firing at israel from very close to elementary schools. >> it's very important. everyone talking about the targeting of innocent civilians. israel does not target innocent civilians, period. 27 meters from a school in gaza. hamas is using and abusing their own population as human shields, but launching missiles day in and day out. >> and a lot of our viewers are hearing that hamas would store weapons in the schools. so, you're saying it's not because of the weapons, but there were militants nearby. >> well, two different things. they would store rockets in schools, and secondly, they stored it in mosques, hospitals, civilian buildings. we go in an area completely

israel. so far, some palestinian and the israelis have been killed. as of friday, some 800 palestinians have been killed and 37 israelis. the number includes many civilians. what does hamas want from a cease-fire and what does israel want from a cease-fire? >> what hamas wants is a lifting of what they call the siege. they want an end to the blockade. they want to open the crossing into egypt through rafa. they would like to have there are airport open. they would like to fish farther out into the mediterranean. the israelis want to decapitate hamas, they want to blowup all the tunnels. >> it has been the israeli strategy for at least the last decade to basically dismantle the tunnels and to eradicate the rockets. and they call it mowing the lawn every couple of years. the thing is this siege now, the former ambassador to the u.s. is basically saying the u.s. should help israel eradicate hamas. i think that is a false premise. the more you bomb gaza, you are never going to eliminate the resistance. more rockets can be acquired, more tunnels can be bui

justifying the mass i'm just saying that if israel really wants security israel must make peace with palestinians if palestinians and israelis can live together in peace then both peoples will be secure but as long as israel wants to have power over and control every single aspect of palestinians lives then palestinians will resist it's human nature and it's also their legal right and it's their moral obligation to try to improve the lives of their own children so i don't understand the strategy and i'd really like martin to explain it how can you get security by oppressing another people how does that make you more secure to me it makes you much much much less secure ok martin go ahead i couldn't agree more we need we should abolish needed. to warm. part of the very public that would favor the war for the west bank because the wall forgot because we haven't been there for years if only we could have a for bruce agreement. and division of white vote because hamas does not even recognize israel so what are you talking about ok you know i mean going to volunteer before we go into the first part of the program i want you to des

has surpassed the number of people killed in gaza during the 2012 conflict between hamas and israel. israeli officials warn that the cease-fire wouldn't last unless hamas militants stopped firing rockets into israel. they did not. and the air strikes clearly have now resumed. more than 60 of the rockets fired from gaza have targeted ashkelon along the southern coast of israel, just north of the border of gaza.

on israel it is a home grown resistance movement and intil israel and i think this would require basically and utter recasting of the israeli state until israel is prepared to stop being an occupying power this this is what it is going to suffer and it is increasingly going to have made itself in the process martin in jerusalem how do you react to that because. it's been used that it's a very grotesque form but you know how often is this is will have to go mow the grass in gaza to secure what it defines as its own security. years ago for. me. to travel in the air and land i just know that my daughter now that israel is still in that i mean that to me let me finish let me finish. forty years although i didn't know the law who lives not far away well the shut up and let me finish ok. let me finish i did not give up you go ahead finish up martin yes no my very. point eight years my grandson leaves not too far for the gaza strip has been. par and the only object leave i think about is that these attacks five nearly two whole. ok you know and so there's all this is that your israeli argument that's roughly equivalent to see all

israel says it's looking into claims by hamas that it captured an israeli soldier. israel's ambassador to the united nationsish ish initiall disputed the claim. secretary of state kerry arrives in the region today. he's traveling first to cairo to push for a cease-fire. while on, the death toll rises. at least 500 palestinians have been killed. the death toll for israelis now stands at 27. 2 israeli civilians and 25 israeli soldiers dead. we're covering all sides of the conflict with our correspondents in israel and gaza. attika shubert is in israel. ben wedeman is in his gogaza ci. ben what can you tell us about that gaza hospital attack? that hospital had been shelled? >> yes, that hospital, wolf, is in delebera which is south of here, hit in the afternoon by someprojectile. not clear at this point what it is. five people were killed in that strike. including one patient -- hard explosion to my left. and four people who were visiting, relatives in that hospital. now, what's significant is this is where the israeli military told people to go for safety in these reco

the israelis want to decapitate hamas and blow up the tunnels going into israel. >> it has been the israelistrategy for the last decade to dismantle the tunnel and irradicate the rockets. the thing is, this siege now, the former embassador to israel is saying that the u.s. should help irradicate hamas. the more you bomb gaza, you will never stop the resistance there. in getting a -- cease fire, they have to get to the point where the israelis can lift some of the conditions they have imposed on gaza and the israelis want to be able to leave troops along the border. i don't know if that's reasonable or not but you have to give gaza something in return for that. >> for a long time, people thought that it was quite suited, people in israel, thought they had it under control life in israel is a bit like california. on hamas' side, they thought they were winning the war against israel i think the idea that it's sustainable and this is something you can do every couple of years is a question. >> hamas is another word for the muslim brother hood. they have no sympathy on israel on any level and th

which brings the total to 56 israeli soldiers and officers killed in this conflict. which for israela high toll compared to previous conflicts. and the other thing i have just seen is the israeli army tweeting since 1500 local time there, which was the time the so-called humanitarian window was opened, 56 rockets have been fired from gaza. plenty more online of course. keep an eye on that at aljazeera.com. >>> here on the channel plenty more ahead including why the so-called vulture funds are prompting anger in argentina over repaying its debt. >> al jazeera america presents: >> smile and look at the camera. >> edge of eighteen >> i thought grades would get me into college. >> the tough realities >> the bullying became too much to take for me. >> my parents basically hated each other. >> facing our kids >> that's not how life works, apparently. >> look what i have for you... you can't have it. >> i'm not giving up - my father can't take those dreams away from me. >> dreaming big >> i've got to get into at least one of these top schools... there's no way i can't. >> i would like to ru

. >> thousands of israeli troops in gaza looking for and destroying secret hamas tunnels, a key they say to stopping the militants from launching future attacks on israel. [siren wailing] >> on this first full day of israeli's ground offensive, air strikes also continue. at least 17 hamas militants reportedly killed, and prime minister benjamin netanyahu says asthma has fires more rockets, isra israel's operation can expand keep ee eer -- deeper into gaz soon. and palestinians are rushing from their home trying to find safety. we were sitting in our house, this woman cried. they started shelling us, and we went to a relative's house and they started shelling there. >> no nation should accept rockets being fired into its borders or terrorists tunnelling into its territory. >> he adds that the u.s. and allies are concerned about the loss of isn't lives. palestinian officials claim of the more than 250 people killed in the past ten days at least 60 were children. >> this is not an attack on hamas, it is an attack on the palestinian population. destroying the chance for peace and it must be stopped immediately. >> and two israelis have been killed, includi

israel. today, we have about one million israelis that are under potential of fire. the bombings "exceed all red lines" and vowed to respond with broader rocket fire. if israel invades gaza, it would the the third major assault on the coastal territory in six years. 1400irst in 2008 left over dead, most of them civilians. >> the threat comes amidst heavy unrest in the west bank and air town inside israel will stop halloween the killings of a palestinian teenager and three israeli teenagers. the israeli teens were abducted while the checking of the west bank settlement where they live. their bodies were found last week after more than two weeks of israeli raids that saw over 200 palestinians arrested in over a dozen killed. israeleport says conducted over 2400 raids on palestinian homes and businesses , seizing over 2.9 million dollars worth of cash and property. in an apparent act of revenge right after the teams are these were found, the palestinian teenager named mohammed abu was abducted. his dead body was found shortly after. the palestinian authority attorney gen

israel. this will cause problems for the u.s. even though most of the israeli military, the f-16s and the f-15s and tanks are supplied by the u.s. and they're re-of supplying israel with munitions that will potentially kill not only hamas, but also civilians in gaza. this will cause some heartburn for the u.s. presumably because the u.s. will be blamed for a lot of that. so it's a very, very sensitive issue, but the obama administration said yes to israel. the israelis are obviously pleased about that. >> wolf blitzer jerusalem, we'll see you again at the top of the hour. thank you so much. >>> the united nations said this is the sixth time that one of its schools used to shelter thousands of palestinians, the sixth time it has taken a direct hit in this kind of fight although officials do not call these attacks on their compounds because they would suggest purposeful targeting. either way, the u.n. teams trying to help these people called the latest incident a breaking point, but breaking for whom? whom should be held responsible? joining me now is chris ganas

palestinians say they were hit by fire from the israelis. israel suggested a rocket fire from hamas may have hit the school. >>> a crash in eastern mali, 116 were killed, from air-algiers. >> ukraine is in upheaval since the resignation of the prime minister. it's creating more uncertaintiy. peter sharp has this report. >> reporter: he was one of a new breed of ukranian politicians forged in the fires of the maydan protests. arseniy yatsenyuk filled a key role in enlist ing support across europe and america. and to former president viktor yanukovych. on thursday, after 147 days in office, the prime minister resigned. frustrated at the failure of passing an amendment to the budget that would have provided funds for the army fighting pro-russian separatists in the east. >> how am i going to pay the army salaries tomorrow. how can i find fuel for armoured vehicles and how do i compensate the families of the fallen. >> the mood has been grim since the downing of the airliner a week ago. now shock at the loss of an admired political leader. >> i wasn't

before and had to take cover. >> we just heard shots. >> the rocket barrage on israel never stopped even though the israelis held off on air strikes for about six hours hoping to give the egypt-backed truce proposal a chance during that time, israel says 47 rockets were fired from gaza. we were on alert for incoming rockets as i interviewed prime minister benjamin netanyahu's spokesman at a hill top in ja fa pa over looking tel aviv. he made it clear israel's patience had run out. >> israel reserves the right and i believe we will have strong international support for acting to protect our people. >> the military wing of hamas rejected the proposal from the start. a top political spokesman. told me -- >> it's a joke. >> with air strikes under way and israeli troops and thanks poised at the border, united nations officials are urging israel to use maximum restraint in targeting hamas to prevent casualties and to avoid painfully familiar scenes like these, homes in ruins, and grieving families burying their dead. palestinian health officials now say the death toll in gaza is 194 people with at least 1400 inju

israel has used its iron dome defense system to intercept most of the rockets, but some have reached further into israeliritory than ever before. but even if hamas keeps fighting back, there's no denying it hands little chance against israel's superior military might. >>> in the past hour the political leader of hamas has urged the international community to put pressure on israel to end its attacks. >> translator: those who ask us to keep quiet and stop our firing. why don't you ask the other party? if they want to stop the bloodshed they have to take two measures. first pressure netenyahu to stop the assaults on gaza. and pressurize netenyahu to change his policy. our palestinian people cannot bare living under colonization. the people don't like what was done a few days ago in jerusalem. we cannot allow them to touch christian and muslim holy places. our people will not accept to be under occupation. we cannot accept living like this. the time has come for this occupation to end. >>> israel has rejected hamas's claims as nonsense. they say israel is expanding its operation and considering a ground off

israeli behavior. at the same time, israel, the u.s.thers openly call for the palestinian authority and hamas' backers to push their allies to make peace and accept the existence of israel. that's the public diplomatic work that goes on where people can see. but who really has the influence when the chilly periods of quiet give way to rockets and tanks? what can get the combatants, who can get the parties do anything? that's the "inside story." let's begin with the events that got us here. it's been five days since israel began its grounds frayings to destroy underground tunnel networks in gaza and stop hamas fight presser firing rockets, neither side is backing down. and the conflict is getting more deadly with every passing day. >> israel has a right to defend itself against rocket and tunnel attacks from hamas. and as a result of its operations, israel has already done significant damage to hamas' terrorist infrastructure in gaza. i have also said, however, that we have serious concerns about the rising number of palestinian civilian
