safe so where you run oh yes well we're now in a makeshift media center in a car park here in west gaza city in what is meant to be the green zone but as you can just hopefully of hugs we said three or four explosions in the last one minute with you here we have sixteen drones continually flying above our heads here in west gaza city and what do you think those jets are aiming at at the moment you all obviously not far from where those explosions are can you have any indication as to what they're targeting. well they could be targeting for example political members of hamas they could be targeting people who israel thinks are responsible for supporting rocket fire sounds ready territory these are the supposed targets according to israel but earlier today we've seen as i said what's being called in gaza and al glee massacred by so many gazans the al dillo must go whether the building that they targeted the family home was full of civilians only presumably that means that you yourself are in danger along with the other people where you are at the moment. well i'm happy to be on live television

i mean west gaza city where most of the internationals are based and here things are better but if you leave this small radius safe zone quite safe zone things become extremely dangerous all of the cars here for the press international's drive with hazard lights on so that israel knows that these are civilian cars most people are in their homes seeking refuge in the best way that they can i don't know bomb shelters here even for hamas government officials but people are trying the best they can to buckle down not knowing what is going to happen in these next few hours remembering that most violence is one of our is doing tonight in the early hours of the day that's yet to come. but it is very defense forces spokesperson has netted that an airstrike on a house that killed twelve palestinians was a mistake as its target had been a command that attack is believed to have caused the largest death toll in a single incident there has the latest. the reports we're receiving is that hoff of the people who have so far been treated at shifa hospital which is the biggest hospital in gaza city off

gaza city at the moment. are targeting-16's the beach camp in the west of gaza city at the moment. that is breaking news that is happening as we speak. >> mohammed omer, the reports are the leaders of the hamas government's are in hiding, fearing possible attempts to assassinate them as well. is the general population or the superior force is preparing for a possible israeli invasion again? >> there is no way to determine that because walking the streets or driving in the streets, he really do not see anyone. the streets are entirely empty. i was just driving from gaza city to the south, and the streets are entirely empty. no one is walking in the streets because the air strikes are bombing everything that moves. everything moving in the streets is being attacked. this makes things quite difficult for the palestinians in the gaza strip. there are talks about the big invasion targeting the gaza strip. i can confirm to you in the southern part of the gaza strip, there is an unusual military buildup. we're some tanks and bulldozers are gathering around the borderline, but we don't kno

increasingly unlikely but now it's looking increasingly likely as things have really lazy bum in west gaza city where most of the internationals about and hear things are better but if you leave this small radius safe zone safe zone things become extremely dangerous all of the cars here for the press internationals drive with hazard lights on so that israel knows that these civilian trusts cause most people in their homes seeking refuge in the best way that they can i don't know bomb shelters here even for hamas government officials but people are trying the best they can to buckle down not knowing what is going to happen in these next few hours remembering that most violence is one fix is during the night in the early hours of the day that's yet to come hundreds of egyptians have arrived at one of the largest hospitals here in gaza for the precise and exact reason that this largest and strongest hospital in this tiny strip of land is suffering from a total lack of strength in terms of medical provision they just inundated with over six hundred eighty injuries throughout the gaza strip in the l

well i mean west gaza city where most of the internationals abased and hear things are better but if you leave this small radius safe zone quite safe zone things become extremely dangerous and so when i came here to speak to you we drove about fifty miles an hour just to avoid being on the gazan streets you know for not too long a time all of the cars here for the press international's drive with hazard lights on so that israel knows that these a civilian press cars most people are in their homes seeking refuge in the best way that they can bomb shelters here even for hamas government officials but people are trying the best they can to buckle down not knowing what is going to happen in these next few hours remembering that most violence is when a fix is during the night in the early hours of the day that's yet to come. ok very volatile situation indeed live from gaza. to miscarry fair thank you for joining us here at r.t. . well foreign reporters in the region are being forced to flee their offices which are being targeted by israeli bombs with several journalists wounded parties as

gaza. city was. to receive the change anything on the ground in gaza. but in the west going with the illegal settlements. on the space station point project on a city in the sea it was ok i don't think that the army who were drawn on that will be rolled back as a result of these increase it legally. that will be affected by this in our state. things now paula how israel taking the news of this vote so far. well when the israeli ambassador to the united nations one poser put forward his address to the united nations general assembly he was essentially with those entering what has been and continues to be the israeli point of view he said that the palestinian leadership made a mistake in making this but in the first place he said that the resolution was one sided and then it did not in any way address the security concerns that the state of israel has he also said that it would push the peace process forward further backwards rather than move it forward and this is a view that we've heard repeatedly from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he says that the only

gaza. city was. particularly interested by the way this will change anything on the ground in gaza. but in the west bank with the illegal settlements. project innocent citizen palestinians see it ok i am hoping that the army who were drawn on that will be rolled back as a result of these increased illegal clouds that will be affected by the state. of things now paula how has the israel taken the news of this vote so far. well windies radio best suited to the united nations one pose a. his address to the united nations general assembly he was essentially with the same team what has been and continues to be the israeli point of view he said that the palestinian leadership made a mistake in making this but in the first place he said that the resolution was one sided and it did not in any way it grace the security concerns and that the state of israel has now we have heard already cold calls for sanctions we certainly have heard earlier this week from being israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman who says that he needs to be an extreme reaction to the palestinians if indeed they go ahead with this f

always a cynic about these things i think the whole situation in gaza city is really fine because they continue to colonization of the west bank no one's watching and it's always look the other way. i think i think for israel one key issue is indeed as you said to be able to continue colonization creepy the west bank the other one. is that regardless of how israel may see i think at the end of the day israel's decision makers prefer a west bank palestinian authority controlled by and a gaza palestinian authority controlled by hamas rather than a unified palestinian palestinian political system i would certainly agree with that now in terms of i would just like to make two observations to what you're really are first of all in terms of recognition of hamas and so on while he's. entirely correct to say that that recognition does not yet exist there are in fact and we've just seen it in the past few days now. and there have been for a while primarily through through the egyptians negotiations between israel and hamas and direct negotiations to be sure but negotiations going on for quite some time and that appear much more se

part of that city actually lies in the west bank as well and it is quite some distance away from gaza and this as tanks and soldiers and reservists are inlooing up along the border and there is a threat of all out ground war if the escalation and rocket attacks continue. i am lucky to be joined on the telephone by the mayor of jerusalem. mr. mayor, can you hear me? >> hi, ashleigh. >> could you give me the latest on the developments that these rockets and how many have landed if the barrage continues or if it was just this one incident? >> well, we're very alert. the rockets are all around gaza, from gaza, and indiscriminate ways to major cities in the country in tel aviv and south of jerusalem. we have an issue with an enemy that wants to destroy israel, and unfortunately they have no ethics, no values, and they would shoot rockets and they continue shooting rockets indiscriminately and israel has had enough of this and the government said enough is enough and we're going after the people in charge. >> mr. mayor, can you tell me where the rockets landed, if they have affected any dam

a look at this, in the last 30 minutes a camera captured this explosion in gaza city, fame sight now. clinton was in the west bank yesterday meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and from the vatican the pope is calling on both sides to make courageous decisions in favor of peace. he says he's praying for the victims. more than 130 palestinians killed, five israelis are dead. katie marzullo, abc7 news. >>> shoppers who decide to brave wal-mart stores thanksgiving night could be welcomeed by somebody other than the usual eye greeter protest areas plan to picket 1,000 wal-mart locations for black friday. wal-mart is trying to block the protest federal labor officials don't expect to have a decision today they say the situation is complex. wal-mart does not recognize an official workers union and claim the plan picketing is illegal. >>> new survey revealing what children want this year for christmas apparently anything apple. at the top of the list, the ipad. 48% of children between 6 and 12 want the tablet this year the third year in the row the ipad has topped christmas wish lists for children it s

. >> you've been to the west bank and gaza and you see the difference. the west bank is thriving, the citieseat economies, great safety and security. and i believe at the end of the day that most palestinians want to live like that. they don't want to live in this world's largest prison hamas has created in gaza, be hostages, live on a floor above a missile. when you go to sleep with a missile don't be surprised if you don't wake up in the morning. that is the reality. these people are using their own people as hostages, they have no value for human life, neither ours or their own. in a way they would love a ground invasion because they would try and kill as many israelis as possible and couldn't careless about the number of palestinians they kill. this is a very, very brutal, evil enemy. as you said there may be others coming. they all think they have 72 virgins waiting up there for them. but i think we should do everything to root them out. as long as they are there israel will not be able to live under that threat. gregg: israeli ambassador dan gillerman always good to see you. thank you.

gaza aimed a rocket at jerusalem today, setting off air raid sirens. israeli police say the rocket landed in the west bank, about ten miles away from the holy city. >> reporter: israeli war planes unleashed more guns on the gaza strip friday. the military says the strikes hit the interior ministry, hamas and several other hamas targets. palestinian militants fired back with a long-range rocket aimed at the port city of tel aviv. panicked israelis ran for shelter. a siren sounded in the capitol. this man says he was at the beach and suddenly he couldn't breathe from all the smoke. israeli police say the rocket landed in the sea. the same thing happened a day earlier. for a third day, the conflict is raging. israeli troops are on stand-by for a possible ground assault. protesters joined funeral processions to demand an end to it. egypt's prime minister condemned israel. he promised to work with arab leaders to broker a truce. anti-missile systems have intercepted over 100 rockets but hundreds more have made it across the border. the military warned if rockets keep coming, they may send tanks and soldiers into gaza. cbs 9 news. >> the last war in gaza was nearl

gaza city and throughout gaza. but, you know, as you know, the west bank area controlled by different group of palestinians.here's been a difference of opinion between those two groups but there is a lot of support. i mean, for hamas, hamas elected here by the people here. and especially under fire, there's been a lot of support and real questions remain about if there is a cease fire, moving forward, whether hamas is actually improved its situation politically over the other palestinian group fatah. we'll have to wait and see how that plays out in the days ahead. >> yeah. i suppose if there is a cease fire, that will dramatically increase hamas's stature among palestinians and other arabs, i would venture to say. i have no doubt about that. thanks very much. any moment it seems the conflict between the israelis and hamas could tip one way or another toward a cease-fire or a major ground war. joining us now, the spokesman for the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu. mark, thank you for coming in. >> my pleasure, sir. >> how close are you to a cease-fire? >> i don't know. i hope close but i can't say

gaza city. as you know, there are a number of different palestinian groups. in the west bank, there is fattah.t is in control of that area. here in gaza it is hamas, which is in control. but there are also a number of other groups. islamic jihad is also one of those groups, a name you probably heard a lot about over last several days. we wanted to get an up close look on who they are, what their beliefs are and who is backing them. i'm joined by aaron david miller. explain islamic jihad in their operations here. >> well, the jihadis emerged in the late '80s, early '90s. it's been a group that has been dedicated, essentially, to military struggle. it offers no political or social safety net. in other words, it doesn't provide in the tradition of the muslim brotherhood or in the hamas a kind of social and economic network in order to attract and reinforce and consolidate its adherence. it is divided over the years. it is smaller now than ever. but it has demonstrated along with a number of other jihadi groups that operate in sinai, sponsored probably with links to al qaeda, al qaeda subcontracto

gaza city. all the while there was a flurry of diplomating activity. secretary clinton met with palestinian authority mahmoud abbas in the west bank and benjamin net ya knetanahu in ca. let's go straight to fred pleitgen where sirens have been going off earlier. and joining us is ben wedeman in the gaza strip, gaza city. fred, what are you seeing now in ashkelon? >> reporter: >> from ted pleitgen, have the rockets stopped in ashkelon? >> reporter: the rockets, yes, have stopped in ashkelon. it was interesting, because up until about a minute before our broadcast began, there were still booms that were heard in the sky. and about ten minutes ago we had to run for cover in ashkelon. now it appears as though things are quiet. i can tell you from speaking to people here on the ground, they're telling us this he don't really believe in this cease-fire just yet at this point in time. folks that we're speaking to at this cafe who have been watching the speech of prime minister benjamin netanyahu say they believe this is not a solution to the problem that they are going to be having to face rockets falling on their heads very soon again, anderson. >> i'm also joined h

cities there are in that area. one more really important thing to keep in mind, folks, as you watch, the west bank is run by fatah, and it is gaza by hamas. now, that is just a look at the broader implications in the region. first, listen to tony blair. >> the military actions need to cease, we can find our way forward. i don't think we should be in any doubt at all if this situation continues and escalates, it is going to be really serious and tragic, not just for israelis and palestinians, but actually, it will cause a huge amount of upheaval in the region, and you know this area doesn't require more right now. >> take a look at some of the examples i want to show you here, the surrounding nations, first of all, egypt, we have been covering this nation get ago new government. also, egypt has been battle the area in sinai, and recently they clashed with the king, taking on the protest. very unusual. an intelligence chief was killed in a bombing. and over next to it, east in syria we have that war that has been going on since march of last year. and according to the latest estimates from the opposition, nearly 40,000 people kill

initially, there were -- there was -- there are moves in gaza city that were announcing that this was the work of so- called lions from the westank and some people assumed that because they are coming from hamas, the announcement was coming from hamas-controlled mosques, that hamas was claiming responsibility. no one has claimed responsibility. hamas did quote/unquote bless the operation saying that, according to one hamas official, that it was a natural reaction to what's going on in gaza. but until now, even the israeli authorities are not pointing a finger and blame at any specific group or faction. >> ben, i saw in one of our earlier reports that the streets are pretty empty and this conflict has been going on for years. but what will it take for this recent rash of violence to end? >> reporter: well, i think it's pretty clear. both sides have laid out how they envision. okay. we just heard an outgoing rocket here. my producer saw one. anyway to get back, what they with like both sides, both sides would like a cessation of attacks. hamas doesn't want any more targeted assassination of hamas officials. they would like a lif

gaza strip including two rocket launch sites. militants fired another rock neat southern israel. six palestinians have been killed and 30 wounded. for israelis have also been hurt. over in the west bank city're starting to the process to exhume the body of yasser arafat, the former palestinian president. looking for evidence that they might have been murdered. arafat died in pair ras in 2004 thought to be a blood disease. rumors have circulated for years that he was poisoned and earlier this year, a murder investigation was actually opened in france. want to bring in michael holmes here. you knew yasser arafat well. i had a chance to see him at the white house once during the clinton administration. you sat down at least on six different occasions d got to know this guy. >> i did over the years. i covered the second intefadeh around that time and early 20000, late 1990s and intervi interviewed him a number of time, april '02, surrounded by israeli forces, and we followed a bunch of protesters who defied that, went in to see him, and warning shots were fired in front of our group and behind our group and we got in and saw him. and got the exclusive interview. that was a memorable occasion.

gaza city. the death toll there up to 137. as you can tell by the secretary's mention, she wrapped up talks with the palestinian authority president, mahmoud abbas in the west israeli prime minister in jerusalem and now will head to cairo where she'll have face-to-face meetings with egyptian president mohamed morsi. >> the goal must be a durable outcome that promotes regional stability and advances the security and legitimate aspirations of israelis and palestinians alike. >> want to begin with reza sayah, live for us in cairo. she mentioned in her comments that she is on her way to have meetings with the egyptian president, morsi, at the same time, offering any assistance that israel might need. tell me a little bit about the positioning and navigating she has to do in her meeting with mr. morsi. >> soledad, we can report to you that, according to the u.s. embassy here, secretary clinton has arrived here in cairo and she's going to be meeting with egyptian president mohamed morsi very soon. with the violence escalating, the spotlight, the pressure is on secretary clinton and washington. the u.s. seems to be broadening its role. the key role the u.s. is goi

city hurt by that area. there are dense populations in those areas that hamas rockets can now apparently reach to. keep in mind, talking about this, the west bank is run by fatah, whereas gaza about the impact on the larger region. what we're seeing here is a reminder of countries surrounding this. one of the most important here is egypt, egypt dealing with upheaval, as you know, battling militant militants up near gaza, you also have jordan here, and jordan in recent days has had clashes in which protesters upset about the economy have actually been taking on the king, which is very unusual. finally, you have lebanon, one major official killed in a bombing, and up to the north, as you know we have been covering the syrian civil war. so obviously, a violent region and a lot of peoe
