to you, john vause, tell us again about these code red sirens in southern israel. >> reporter: yeah, is is what was unusual about all of this, brooke. it was very quiet. and then suddenly there seem to be alerts in dozens of communities surrounding the southern part of israel surrounding the gaza border there. and at first there was a suspicion that maybe they were false alarms. then the report started coming in, as fred mentioned, as many as three rockets fired. one intercepted. but we have to stress that the idf, israel defense forces, only confirming one rocket, which was fired at israel landing in an open field, not causing any death, not causing any damage. at this point so far, we understand that nobody in gaza is actually claiming responsibility for this rocketfire. very similar to what happened last time, when two rockets were fired, just hourses before the cease-fire was expected to expire. same thing again, a rocket being launched. came around the same time when we're expecting to hear from the palestinian delegation in cairo as to what the outcome of those three days of tal

hour past the cease-fire and israel's military says at least five rockets have been fired into southern israel. one was intercepted over ashkelon. the others landed in open areas causing no reported damage or casualties. we are waiting to see if israel will respond to that rocket fire and we may get some answers from our israeli government spokesman who joins me now live from jerusalem. thank you so much for talking with us, sir. and, of course as we just reported, this barrage of rockets that are coming in from gaza into southern israel at this point, israel has mott responded. what is the plan going forward? >> rosemary, israel scrupulously honored the cease-fire and pulled out our forces out and e reredeployed and ceased all operations against terrorist targets, hamas and other targets in the gaza strip. we honored the cease-fire and this morning we're seeing the terrorists open fire on cities on rural communities across southern israel. once again indiscriminately shooting their rockets at our civilian population, men, women and children and it's unacceptable. they can't do that and not on

the israel military says it was broken hours ago as two rockets hit southern israel. a live look at gaza city and connect with our teams in cairo, jerusalem and gaza city here in the next few minutes. >> the 72-humanitarian cease-fire between israel and hamas has just ended. now we wait, of course, and see if the two sides can agree on any sort of extension and if the fighting will resume >> that's the big question. let's take you back to those live pictures from gaza city and as far as we can tell by just looking through this vantage point it's been quite quiet so far but, of course, this picture is quite deceiving. you've got to keep in mind that during this campaign, more than 1800 people were killed just in gaza. almost 10,000 wounded. the vast majority of them civilians, hundreds of children, of course, killed, as well. u.n. shelters were hit multiple times during this campaign so there's a lot of skepticism among palestinians there and other residents of gaza that peace -- this short amount of peace will continue even though the israel military claims that hamas

reporting that two rockets were fired from gaza into israel around the area of eshkol, which is southern israel to the east and south of gaza. there are no reports of casualties, no reports of damages. the iron dome missile defense system did not play a role in stopping these rockets. israel says that hamas is responsible for them, whether or not hamas fighters actually fired the rockets. hamas of course is in charge of security and running gaza. so therefore they are responsible, israel says. and israel considers this to be a violation of the ceasefire. this is not a surprise for the israeli government. they had anticipated that hamas would violate the ceasefire. they say hamas has done that several times already. we know already of several concrete examples over the last three or four weeks as this military campaign has waged. and now they are preparing for what might be a response to these rockets being fired. they already had been preparing for hamas to not agree to extending the ceasefire as israel, egypt, others in the palestinian government had wanted to do, wolf. so right now this is an

it ended, we're told the israeli military reports gaza militants fired at least ten rockets at southern israel israel intercepted one rocket, the other hit open areas. meantime, talks for more permanent troops are dead-locke cairo. >>> developing right now, so far, no air strikes in iraq, but president obama has given us troops that option. >> the air strikes would target islamic millitant group isis. isis swept through northern iraq, seizing military hardware, over running cities. now the group has trapped some 40,000 members of eight i can group on mountain. us dropped food and water there. the president has authorized the air strikes if isis fighters advance on the mountain. >> when we face a situation like we do on that mountain with innocent people facing prospect of violence on a horrific scale, when we have mandate to help, in this case, request from the iraqi government, and when we have the unique capabilities to help avert an i believe the united states of america can in the turn a blind eye. >> the white house says it has consulted with congress before authorizing the air strikes. >

but there still has been a barrage of rockets into southern israel. reports are for the most part the airport is still operating business as usual although with stepped up security. there were still roughly 60,000 that came throughout the day, but there were cancellations of two different airlines today. obviously this is having a tremendous psychological effect. this isn't the first time this has been a concern about the airport. last month the airport shut down international flights for roughly 24 hours. this also has a very damaging economic impact. because as word spreads that there is concern about the airport in tell avee, this obviously has a damaging effect on israel's tourism. >> kimberly thank you. >>> banc of america has reached a near $17 billion settlement for its role in the 2008 financial crisis. the u.s. justice department announced a deal today. the largest imposed on any bank since the meltdown. tom akerman has more. >> the attorney general said this settlement does not preclude possible criminal charges against some bank executives,

after just -- in the past 30 minutes or so, we did see three rockets leave gaza towards israel, southern israelen israel also sent -- did attack areas in gaza. so it is a bit of a fluid situation, and we're keep you updated on all of the developments, but still ahead right here on al jazeera, we'll tell you why so many germans are addicted to crystal meth. and what is the check connection? we're on patrol with the police. >> do we have any clipper fans here?

it says it is in response to three rockets fired from the strip into southern israel.ce talks have also broken down with prime minister benjamin netenyahu ordering the israeli delegation to return home. at least 2,016 people have been killed in gaza since the israeli offensive began on july 8th. most of the dead are civilians. 64 israeli soldiers were killed and 3 civilians including a thai national. in a moment we will be speaking to jackie in west jerusalem, but first let's talk to jane ferguson who joins us live from gaza. now, jane, are you seeing -- or are you witnessing israel's action now? >> reporter: we were witnessing it just about an hour and a half ago. it was about two hours ago that reports came in that three rockets had been fired from gaza into israel. very quickly afterwards about 15 to 20 minutes afterwards the israeli military responded and we saw one air strike actually incredibly close to where we were filming in the very north of the gaza strip. it was only about 500 meters from where we were filming. and ever since then we have been hearing more

dozens of rockets landing in southern israel. and they kept coming as far away as tel aviv. israel says it agreed to extend the cease-fire without conditions, it was hamas which refused. palestinians blame israel for not agreeing to any of their demands at those peace talks in cairo. and with black smoke rising once again over gaza, israel's military picked up where it left off. buildings and homes pounded by air strikes. we're told first came a knock on the roof, a warning from the israelis the house was about to be hit. everyone got out. and then came the air strike. and it did this. palestinian officials say the first deadly strike in gaza in three days happened here. a 10-year-old boy hit by shrapnel from an israeli missile. he was out playing with friends. the cease-fire was over. should they not have been inside? >> no clubs. no places to play. >> reporter: so nowhere else for them to go? >> what are they do? all time they are in the house. >> reporter: with the quiet shattered, u.n. schools turned sheltered again began to fill. that's where the al wachti family was hea

business up, running a under rocket fire, we will see how it is being done right now in southern israel>> israel's dome has protected local businesses in the border but others are not so safe. we look at how the conflict is affecting business. firedund 3200 rockets are out of the gaza strip over the past five weeks. with residents of southern israel often the intended target. the iron dome defenses that may protect most people here but the impact this so still damaging local business. >> is not easy, you can see the parts. >> this is an israeli american father of three. he lives a 10 second rocket flight in the village where his employer was founded for the ages return to the main plant where his colleagues have been struggling to fulfill the daily quota. ,> we are doing 100 mattresses instead we do 50 or 60. you don't work as quickly. five or six times a day you run for the shelter. >> one consequence of the conflict is that orders are falling. the company's sales dropped around 30% compared to last july. they're looking to spend around 2 million dollars to renovate this whole factory

you need to be within about 10 or 15 seconds of one when you are in that part of southern israel. encourageooking to their customers to spend more now, to pay them early. all of these things to protect their bottom line. continue.ike it will >> based on the interviews you have been able to conduct, give us an idea of public opinion in israel and its relationship to prime minister netanyahu. peaceryone says they want . what does peace constitute? there is a definite distinction veryen those who are approving of israel's government policy and those who say they need to do more and need to give way more to the negotiations. it is a mixed bag, to be honest. kind ofus what individual experiences you've had on making this journey. israel,in the south of where this rocket fire tends to be targeted, everyday life is a bit unusual. offices where people are showing me debris from the missiles shot down by the iron dome system. bomb shelters everywhere. people have been moving away with their families for weeks at a time. stores are not been able to sell to people. been a substantial change

they landed somewhere in a field in southern israel. has that iron dome missile defense system so if there are any rockets fired from gaza, that threatening population area, then this iron dome system comes into play and more often than not they're intercepted. one of the most sophisticated anti-missile systems in the world so israel has a strong military superiority over the situation, the forces in the gaza strip. >> all right, thanks to you both. matthew chance in jerusalem, john vause in gaza city. we will continue to track this, of course here in the next few hours. >> yeah, i mean just four minute as way now from the official end to that 72-hour truce and no word yet on any form of extension but we'll keep a very close eye on this. that does it tore this hour of cnn special coverage. i'm rosemary church. >> i'm errol barnett. the latest on possible u.s. intervention in iraq. stay with cnn.

israeli defense forces have resumed firing on gaza shortly after rockets were fired into southern israel both sides had just agreed a new five day cease fire hours before the existing truce was due to expire they cannot there now from our middle east correspondent paula slayer who joins us live paula good to see a fresh exchange of fire them between the palestinians and israel what impact might this have on the newly agreed truce. well things on the ground are a little confusing at this stage the cease fire does appear to be holding but both sides accuse the other of violating it we're hearing from him us that they say israel is continuing with its shelling of a gaza one of the same time israel is accusing her months of rocket fire at southern israel there are sirens that are currently sounding in the south of this country but it's not yet been cleared up whether in fact they were triggered by rocket fire there was a seventy two hour cease fire that was due to expire at midnight on wednesday and two hours before that expire a date went into effect there were around five rockets fired at

there has still been some very small-range rocket fire into southern israel. and the view of the israeli delegation is as long as that continues, they will not be returning. i can tell you in spite of all of this, there is also another report coming out of the egyptian state media in cairo saying that the palestinian negotiation despite threats to leave does have a planned meeting on monday with the arab league in cairo so there is some feeling that they may stay and try to consult with members of the arab league on further steps to try to break this deadlock. >> kimberly, i understand the authorities are saying very little about what's going on israel. what are the people saying? what kind of pressure are they put okay their government? >> there is tremendous pressure being put on the government. >> that's why we did hear from, in a statement from benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister earlier today reaffirming from what we have heard, the standard statements that have really not changed, that as long as there is rocket fire, the military offensive will conti

israel says three rockets were fired into southern israel by gaza.red pleitken is live for us. >> reporter: hamas sent a tweet earlier saying they are not responsible for the rockets. but the question is, has that derailed the cease-fire talks to where a cease-fire is impossible? what we're hearing from the palestinian negotiation, they say that the prospects for reaching some sort of an agreement at this point about three hours before the cease-fire runs out are, quote, slim. for a while it looked as though the talks were doomed altogether when violence erupted earlier today. it started, as you said, with the firing of three rockets from gaza towards a town in southern israel. what happened was a flurry of israeli strikes in retaliation. we counted about 20 strikes that happened all over gaza from the south to the north. most of them the palestinians say hit farmland. the farmland has been used for rocket launchers as well. what we saw was the iron dome deflecting rockets. there was a flare-up in violence. right now, don, that has died down once aga

but they are saying that rockets were fired into southern israel from gaza.ou, anderson. >> and jake, what is interesting about this, the ceasefire wasn't even set to expire for basically another three hours or so. >> that's right. and hamas in their statement just a few hours ago, the military wing, the qassam brigades came on al aqsa television. that's the station in gaza, and said that they would honor, they would continue to honor the ceasefire up until 7:59. but that at 8:00, they would consider the ceasefire over unless their demands were met. you know, one cannot always go by what somebody says in this part of the world, as a sincere promise. but that was what the qassam brigade said. my understanding is actually the qassam brigades were planning on giving an even stronger statement. and some of the palestinian negotiators in cairo had urged them to tone it down a little bit, which apparently they did, according to the information i got. but in any case, somebody has violated according to the israeli defense forces, somebody has violated by firing two

israel says earlier two rockets were fired in to southern israel. but hamas the palestinian group which controls goose a denies it launched at tacks. our correspondent andrew simons is joining us live from gaza right now. andrew, what are we to think, israel says rockets launched in to southern israel and hamas saying they know nothing about this. >> reporter: what is clear is that these talks have gone right to the wire. we understand more than six hours of talks overnight and that included the indirect means as egyptians acting as mediators and the statement from the israeli military in the early hours of the mor morning that to rockets have been fired in to southern israel. no casualties. the rockets landed in the southern deserts. now, as i speak, there was a crunch a short time ago and i can see in the sky behind me what appears to be like an iron dome deployment there. so it's pass table there has been a rocket fired. certainly heard a crunch. there is massive uncertainty, it doesn't look good. hamas came back after that statement by the israel

shortly after the cease-fire went into effect, there were the sounds of sirens in southern israel.here are reports that at least one israeli was kid as a result of palestinian rocket fire. and the israeli military said today was also a day that saw about 70 palestinian rockets land inside southern israel. even though there is news of the cease-fire coming in, there's going to be a lot of questions as to whether or not it will be dushable and sustainable in the coming hours, kristen. >> we know you'll be monitoring that for us. it's my understanding this deal did not address some of the broader more complicated issues, for example, hamas wants to build an airport in the region. talk a little bit about that. what remains undone in this deal? >> well, there's still the big picture issues that have not been resolved. one of main issues is that 2 wants gaza strip completely demateri dematerialize. that's going to be extremely difficult, it's going to be extremely difficult for palestinians and egyptian factions to agree to. but at the same time, palestinian officials wanted their own fa

we've had mortars on border and rockets into southern israel. this clearly is hamas violating the u.n. sponsor ed cease-fire. >> you heard osama hamdan saying 40, 50 palestinians were killed by israelis in this rafa area in southern gaza. that's a pretty significant number. >> first of all, we don't know it's true. do i know there was a fire fight, a deadly fire fight. i know that they opened fire on our forces who according to the agreement could be there and shouldn't have been fired upon. now if hamas has violated the cease-fire yet again because this is repeated by hamas. this cease-fire, seeing it on cnn and everywhere and we're aware of it. there's a very difficult humanitarian situation for the people in gaza, it was to give a time-out to allow the people of gaza to get the humanitarian support that they need. hamas has again through its extremism and violence torpedoed the chance for humanitarian cease-fire. >> here's the question that raised some alarm bells when i heard it last night. in the official statement that was put out by the un

israel said before the truce ended israel -- the two rockets were fired into southern israel, something hamas denies. the military vowed to resume fighting if israel did not lift the blockade of gas za. this story has 45i rapidly changing development. we have reporters covering it. john vause is in gaza. matt through chance is there and reza sayah is in cairo. we'll be live to all of them later in the newscast. >>> u.s. president barack obama says he has authorized targeted airstrikes in iraq. mr. obama says the airstrikes will be launched only if necessary to protect american personnel and to help iraqis. there are no indications that any airstrikes have been carried out. mr. obama's announcement came after they announced they were performing an air drop. the air drop is to help groups stop facing possible starvation. >>> it was last week when they stormed the town of sinjah. now thousands of people are trapped without food, water or shelter in the intense iraqi summer heat. here's what president obama had to say about that. >> when we face a situation like we do on that mountain with

with residents of southern israel than the intended target.ron dome defense is the may protect most people, but the impact of the area itself is damaging for local business. >> it is not easy. you,an see -- if it hits it kills you. >> he lives a 10-second rocket flight from the gaza strip. it is the area where his employer was founded. he just returned to the company plant where his colleagues have been struggling to fulfill the daily quilt photo. >> instead -- quota. >> instead of doing 100 mattresses, we do 50 or 60. you do not work as quickly. six times a day you run to the bomb shelter. oneo one wants to fail, but consequence of the conflict is that orders are falling. the company's sales dropped 30% compared to last to live. they are looking to spend $2 billion -- $2 million to renovate this but when it comes to investing israel, there are not -- are unusual factors that you need to consider. there is the uncertainty. >> people are struggling with cash flow, with payments, with tax payments. the impact is severe. >> nadav runs a plastics

israel said that was in response to eight palestinian rockets fired from here into southern israel including one before the expiring of the initial truce period. but now things have got much calmer. we can hear the israeli drones overhead. normal life at the moment has resumed in gaza city. i can hear lots of traffic on the road, people going about their business, taking advantage of this period of calm. of course this is also going to give the window that the egyptian negotiators need to try to secure a longer term ceasefire deal with the indirect talks they have been overseeing in cairo. over the past few days, we have heard the big gaps remain between the two sides. israel saying security has to be guaranteed. it wants disarming of groups here in gaza. palestinians say they need an end to the border restrictions imposed on gaza by israel and egypt and this has become more necessary because of the fighting over the past month. this huge amount of reconstruction that needs to take place in gaza is facing a humanitarian crisis. >> on that, just tell us about the humanitarian situation inside

we want to go to southern israel where the seize fire keeps coming but the rockets keep coming. we're less than five hours away. since the announcements, rockets have been fired and what have you been seeing and hearing? >> reporter: look, about a couple hours ago, actually an hour and a half ago, we heard from the idf there were sirens going on, three rockets that came over, two fell into the mediterranean, one had to be taken out by the iron dome, that means it's headed towards a populated area. we were in an area where one rocket fell into a neighborhood and it blasted a couple of cars across the street, injured someone who had to be taken to the hospital. pop marks all over the homes. we have also been hearing a lot of artillery fire, booms from here out going towards gaza. it has been quiet, i will add, from the artillery for about a couple of hours, anderson. it's the quietest we've heard it. we've been here for four nights and it's been a constant sound in the background, that sound of the artillery just going and going and going and we have heard the sirens, as well, tod

there looking over gaza, there was quiet for two hours and sirens sounding in places along the southern israel border. we also talked to quite a few people who were concerned about their children but had gotten so tired of having them sort of holed up in the house they decided to take a chance and take them out to the play groupeds today. but still just overhead while we were at one of those playgrounds, the sound of rocket fire and the iron dome firing off and intercepting that. we've also heard in the last hour and a half or so another sound of the iron dome going off, two rounds coming from the iron dome knocking out two rockets that had come over from gaza. very close to here. >> you're down in the south, sara, you've been there for days now. what's it like? are those sirens going off all the time, middle of the night, early mornings? >> reporter: yeah, i woke up to one at 6:45 this morning, which isn't all that unusual. they aren't all concentrated in one area, of course. it's in different spots. if you happen to be there, then you try to take cover. you go to -- many houses on the border

the iron dome can't stop mortars and yesterday one of them hit in southern israel, landing in a parking lot, damaging some cars. but shrapnel from the mortar flew through a family's living room window and hit a four-year-old boy in the head, killing him. while egyptians and the u.n. and others are urging all sides to return to the peace talks, hamas talk a different tact today, asking the leader of the palestinian authority to go to the international criminal court and seek war crimes against israel. if hamas does that, it, too, could face charges. in gaza, rick leventhal, fox news. >>> we have an alert from the fox extreme weather center. keeping a close eye in the caribbean, that's her, another tropical depression has formed. you can see it in that red. right now it's near the dominican republic and is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm called cristobal within the next week and make a path zipping toward florida. right now authorities are warning of heavy rain, flooding in the eastern caribbean as we see if this thing will hit southern part of our country. >> here is somethi

, a 4-year-old boy was killed late this afternoon when a mortar struck near a kindergarten in southern israel. this is the fourth civilian casualty in israel since this conflict began. 64 soldiers also killed. no other injuries or deaths reported in that attack near the school but sirens have been sounding across southern israel all day, sending people scrambling for shelters. nearly 100 rockets. one wounded three people. the idea reported ten rockets have been intercepted by the iron dome missile defense system but, harris, we saw another one fired from behind us and intercepted within the last 20 minutes or so. israel says hamas has at least 3,000 rockets left. >> hamas killing palestinians. those executions. what more have you learned? >> well, we know that israeli intelligence has a network of palestinian informers here in gaza that helped to pinpoint hamas home, possible targets for ha air strikes. hamas rounded up 18 of these alleged collaborators and executed them. seven of them on a street outside a mosque where one of the gold gunmen told the group they sold their souls to the enemy

. >>> hamas fired a barrage of 18 rockets at southern israel, two interpreted the others hit open areas. israeli officials are blaming gaza militants for breaking the cease-fire. >> a quiet delaware community is stunned about the burst of violence that left two young boys without a mother or father. neighbors along abbey terrace in drexel hill said there was no hint of trouble at the home of keith and christine belajonas. keith belajonas mured his wife -- murdered in wife in front of the children yesterday morning. >> i heard a commotion that didn't sowmed right, it sounded serious. >> he stabbed and shot his wife and took off to staten island with the boys robbing a cvs where his brother works and left the brothers at the store. the children were picked up by relatives of christine in a belajonas they live in delaware county. >>> action cam was at love park last night where organizers outlined steps residents can take to protect the youngest in their neighborhoods. they urged everyone to speak up for kids. >> the pennsylvania spca raided a berks county farm that it said was organizing

she posted this does is stick on facebook about the number of hamas fired rockets landing in southern israeld immediately, a friend said, oh, my god, on the post and deleted it. then her husband posted a video with a zionist interpretation of the founding of israel, and that led to a big rant with anti-semitic slurs, so her husband said he is finished and took this friend off his facebook feed. the next day, there was a heated exchange with a close jewish friend who is sympathetic to the palestinian side, and he was unceremoniously dumped, so people are to beating each other, unfriending each other because they do not -- people are deleting each other unfriending each other, because they do not agree. sometimes they could converse on hebrew, and there would be political differences that would flareup, but emotional ties would keep the family together, and then this lebanese person deleted her own facebook after seeing this post. the journalists that she promised to not post anything political again, but this is obviously getting everyone's emotions and piquing interest so it is interesting t

that there were at least two rockets fired from some terrorists in their term from gaza into southern israel. we are still awaiting information as to where exactly they landed. there is a press report in the newspaper here in israel that says they landed without hurting anybody in an area called eshkol, which is not far from ashkelon. we should point out the context of this, hamas, the armed wing of hamas, the military wing, the qassam brigades had announced on thursday evening israel time, egypt time, gaza time that unless their demands were met, they would consider the ceasefire expired as of 8:00 a.m. in this part of the world local time. those demands were demands to alleviate the suffering of opinions they say, which included lifting the blockade and allowing easier access in and out of gaza, as well as a seaport. israel considers those to be requirements -- rather requests that they would be -- that they would discuss when it came to a larger agreement. they want the demilitarization of gaza. in any case, there was no chance that israel was going to give hamas any sort of -- any sort o

israel. we are hearing about frustration on the part of southern israeli communities. some that are close to the border are evacuated for over a month. they have been told to recently return, and they are angry that the rockets are fired, and they want the government to complete its mission in gaza. >> ominous signed. we'll join you throughout the day as it developments. >> u.s. president obama authorised air strikes against sunni rebels in iraq, saying america had to act to prevent a massacre. >> white house correspondent patty culhane reports. >> one iraqi in the area cried to the world, "there is no one coming to help." well, today america is coming to help. >> reporter: u.s. fighter jets escorted three military fighter planes, enough water and means for 8,000 of the tens of thousands of ethnic kurdish yaz trapped on the mountain. the u.s. military will help iraq's forces break the siege surrounding the mountain, sending a warning to the islamic state to stop the advance. >> i directed the military to take strikes against i.s.i.l. terrorists should they move to the

and they say that within two hours there were at least twenty five rockets that were fired at southern israel off of these rockets fell short of their target and in fact landed inside gaza now this is the longest humanitarian truce that was announced it does follow for short term cease fires that were announced and later broken over the past week these cease fires that are orchestrated by the united nations are meant to be an opportunity for much needed emergency supplies to be brought into. tolls there are practically at critical point we have heard from international organizations using words like catastrophe and crisis it was supposed to be an opportunity for people to stockpile on food to bury the date and also for the injured to be moved from one location to another but of course now none of that is going to happen what's unclear at this stage is what impact this will have on talks that were slated later friday to take place in the egyptian capital and there we have delegations from both israel and hamas who will be holding in direct negotiations in the latest international effort that i

israel says, had fired the rockets into southern israel. >> this is the 11th cease-fire that hamas has either rejected or violated, and it's clear that a cease-fire has to be a two-way street. it's not just that israel hold its fire. hamas must hold its fire as well. >> officials from israel and a palestinian actions have spent another sleepless day in cairo. after a flareup of violence, israeli officials walked out of these talks -- peace talks, bringing them to an abrupt end. how must put on a show of defiance, taking journalists on a tour of tunnels, part of the network israel had set to a glitter rate with weeks of air raids. >> we're speaking to you today from inside one of those tunnels that israel said it had destroyed. our men are still operating here and are prepared for all options . if there is another confrontation, the israeli community will realize they were lied to and deceived by their leaders. >> with both sides resolutely maintaining their stated anze and the strikes resuming, hopes of a lasting and -- end to the latest hostilities are fading. more than 2000 people ha

those tunnels indeed were intended to strike into the communities of southern israel to enable them to have easy access to the community so they could carry out multiple attacks simultaneously with tens of terrorists inside israel. i'm happy to report that is no longer a major threat as it was beforehand. there is a possibility there are some tunnels that we cannot find that they could utilize, but definitely not on the scale they had intended. this would have been a huge threat that was basically the reason why we had to go in with the ground forces. that is why we mobilized in the peripheral areas of the gaza strip. see, we couldn't deal with the tunnels, the way they were built, we couldn't deal with them from the fair or afar. we needed had to take them out. we had to demolish them along the whole length of them. they will like arteries with many veins coming out from them. if you trike the artery, they would continue to use the vein to build israel. we really needed to deal with them in its complete form so they no longer pose a threat. it's a good thing they no longer have that e

some have landed in a village in southern israel. one local resident has had to run for the bomb shelter. each time, she only had seconds to get to cover. if she is slow, she could pay with her life. >> it is impossible to live like that. i'm sure every mother or father that lives across, not in israel, has to understand that this is not a normal way to live. >> in the twilight, both israelis and palestinians braced for another night of violence. the darkness of war is again falling upon this region. >> ukraine says its troops have been fighting street battles in the eastern city of luhansk as government forces keep trying to put down the pro-russian insurgency in the east. the government has been using a economist volunteer units outside the regular army's command. dw spoke to members of one such unit. members of the unit were killed in action tuesday night. >> how to clean a kalashnikov. that is one skill pavel learned during a month of good cap. -- boot camp. he says he never wanted to become a soldier, but now here he is. fightin

minister netanyahu in the past days about not being able to stop the rockets, especially into southern israel. people there especially are not sure what to make of this new cease-fire. >> it is clearly a major breakthrough. i am going to ask you to stay on the line for a moment because we will take a quick look at what press -- palestinian president mahmoud abbas had to say. he may play a role in any new border deal for gaza. >> we hope that this cease-fire will be respected so it is possible to revive for the needs of our family and gaza. to be able to deliver them the necessary food and medical supplies and begin rebuilding what the attacks that destroyed. i appeal to the international community and to the united nations to provide all those materials as soon as possible. >> palestinian president mahmoud abbas, mentioning rebuilding their. -- there. we have seen almost continuous war since july. what do gazans need now? >> there are many things that are needed. the destruction is tremendous. whole neighborhoods destroyed, especially the east and northern parts of the outskirts of gaza city.

three-day cease-fire between israel and hamas ended early today, as hamas resumed firing rockets into southern israel, almost 60 of them launched from gaza, two israelis reportedly injured. israel hit back with air strikes. palestinian officials say at least five were killed, three of them children. talks aimed at a longer term cease-fire continue in cairo. >>> james brady, ronald reagan's former press secretary, died earlier this week, and he was remembered on this broadcast and elsewhere for his humor, his humanity and as an icon in the gun control battle. then late today came a remarkable development from washington. after an autopsy on brady, the medical examiner ruled his death was a homicide, stemming all the way back to 1981 and the bullet from john hinckley's gun that was intended for president reagan but hit brady instead. we get our report tonight from our justice correspondent pete williams. >> reporter: after conducting an autopsy on james brady, a suburban washington medical examiner has concluded that his death was a homicide, that it was caused by a gunshot wound suffered at the time a

off when a what they're simply trying to do is stop hamas from firing rocket after rocket into southern israel. i plan to go there tomorrow to examine that. again, it's just -- the israelis are feeling like the united states government, which is traditionally been at least an honest broker, if not being supportive of them, is really weighing in on the other side. i think this goes as a consistent policy where the president has been on the wrong side of these conflicts. >> hold on a second, rick -- >> the muslim brotherhood is another example. >> there is a feeling in israel that netanyahu was restrained, that he didn't go far enough, didn't finish the job in gaza, and he was restrained by america's foreign policy, specifically president obama? >> i don't think there's any question that not having the president stand by his side and having unfortunately the predictable response from the international community of boating up on israel, made it much harder for them to prosecute this action, which was absolutely warranted to protect southern israel, and probably has cut short what could have been

the israeli military says palestinian militants fired more rockets into southern israel sparking theeries of israeli air strikes in retaliation. 2,000 palestinians most of them civilians, have been killed. 67 israelis have died and all but three of them soldiers. >>> three relatives of pope francis died today in a highway accident in argentina. their small car crumpled -- crumpled. the only survivor was the pope's 38-year-old nephew now in critical condition. the nephew's wife and two small children were killed in the accident. the pope is profoundly saddened. >>> a four scheme are facing criminal charges connected with a petaluma slaughter house that was shut down this year earlier. two owners and two employees are accused of processing and then distributing meat from condemned and diseased cattle. federal grand jury says they processed the meat while usda inspectors were on lunch breaks. they're accused of selling bad meat from nearly 200 cows that led to a nationwide recall. >> we feel really betrayed. this -- this whole sordid affair is motivated by money and greed. >> ranchers b

israeli military saying 20 rocketess were fired from the gaza strip into areas, particularly in southern israel. also toward jerusalem as well the military describes as a massive barrage of rockets minutes before the cease-fire began at 8:00 local time. so about six minutes ago, we'll have to get from our teams in gaza, what the situation is there, but from an israeli point of view, there's been no suggestion at this point of any casualties as a result of that massive barrage of rockets, it puts pressure on the israeli military to respond, the hope, of course, is that these rockets are the parting shots in this conflict which has lasted now nearly four weeks, natalie. >> what will it take to get the talks going in egypt. egypt helped broker this pause. any signs of that going to pick back up any time soon? >> that's certainly the hope, part of this egyptian proposal isn't just a 72 hour cease-fire, that's the first part of it. that is now in force, we don't know to what extent it's holding, the second more crew shall part of the proposal is that all the parties gather in cairo, they try to hamm

focus would be unstopping the rockets from gaza and making sure that the border communities in southern israelng the gaza border are safe, in fact, saying that if there is not a cease in the rockets being fired from gaza, in fact, you israel will deal hamas heavy blows. >> hamas thinks it can compensate for military defeat with diplomatic gains. it is mistaken. if ham things through intermittent firing, it will cause us to make concessions, it is mistaken. when quiet does not return, it local sustain harsh strikes. if hamas does not think we will with stand for an extended period, it is mistaken. >> there are divisions among the cabinet on whether or not to support a long-term cease-fire agreement. many are very opposed to aof a development of a seaport. this had been an important demand of the palestinian delegation. there is some feeling among some of the hard liners there should be no stopping of the campaign until there is a complete demilitarization of hamas. this is something ham as has said is a red line that is not negotiable. there are stuff challenges politically for prime minister b
