safra to alec kaluta our reporter in gaza as always thank you. harry for safe israel's southern border near gaza with more on those troop movements we were talking about earlier. well i mean that the operations on both sides are still going on but there has been a bit of a lull in terms of the most recent rocket fire out of gaza and therefore the rocket interceptions above us however we are still hearing regularly artillery heading into gaza from locations around here also the last 10 minutes the that the sound of machine gunfire apparently coming from nearby helicopter as well and so the situation remains that this is a continuing military attack that the israelis seem to be intent on continuing what we saw earlier was the 1st sort of major movement of heavy armory that we had seen so far tanks tracked vehicles heading in a line south towards gaza at the same time as there was this extremely intensive artillery but barrage lasting about an hour then there was some of it something of a pause and another big artery barra's coming later and suffer
