These lady government was quick to respond, declaring a state of all that and wont come us. Thats it had made that great mistake.

How mazda is lounged in mergers, surprise attack against the state of israel and its citizens. I ordered the 1st the full to claim the settlements from the terrorist who had infiltrated and ordered a large scale mobilization of reserves. The enemy will pay a prize. He has never known her. But for now that ive sees of julian celebration in some occupied territories, palestinians the model on hebron if you will keep bite west back out on the streets in support of the fighters. Gaza has witnessed many violent confrontations with these items, but all signs indicate this one might be the west yet. How much fun does. Yeah. Well, we have a team of correspondents covering this unprecedented story around the region. Unit site is in gauze of rock rentals is an ash cologne in southern is around sort of high rock dates in occupied East Jerusalem on said to hold a is only as well loving on board. And lets begin with you on the outside who is joining us from gaza every 10 situation while you uh, you know, throughout the morning and throughout the uh, beginning of the vase uh, sold into israel house as well being responding now to gaza. Yes. Well indeed, let me have debts. You with the latest well in boardman. We have uh, 2 residential buildings. One in the western a got a neighborhood, another neighborhood. Local say that it was targeted after it was a hit to buy a morning mess style. Uh, also another, another one in another area in the weston, uh, uh, neighborhood of the, of the, of a lot of milan in, in, in the west and part of goza has also been targeted. There. We can see the intensity of the targeting of bombardments into the cause. The strip growing bit by bit as the hours are, are moving by now. The targeting at the beginning was just very much limited to the areas and to the military uh, points and posts for the palestinian functions. But now we witness victoria getting a more residential buildings off a, an ambulance also in 10 units in, in front of a non city or unless that hospital there, uh, numbers of casualties and, and, and those killed is not yet clear by the main street of health according to local source is an eye witnesses. Dozens of people have stolen casualties from different areas um, uh, from these or by the use of bombardments. You know, its always discussed about where civilians go. When these sol solved, bombardments occur by these rileys on garza projects. Nationality is just give us an idea of the any sites locations, the civilians to go to with these sorts of attacks. Sense of well here in the goal, is this trip considering garza and eric yeah. Or terrys her each that is been under and hes really air that and see located for the past 17 years. Now it is a located between the edis crossing and the crossing. The people here in the gaza strip have know where to go. They have no where they have even no opportunities to ne, if the strip or to leave the territory in times or a whore or our, our escalations like this. Never the less their homes have no shelters. There are no shelters, home shelters, back the residents can move to, to shelter in times of air strikes against them. Again, were talking about 3200000. 00 People Living in 365 kilometer square buildings adjustment to one another, a 5 refugee camps in because this trip with hundreds of thousands of president s in very small areas with their homes adjust, sent to one another. This is how the geographical scene of the gaza strip is. And that means that every time there is a targeting with every air stripe, we hear of dozens of casualties. Even if that particular area was targeted. The areas around that a area or neighborhood. 7 get uh subjected to the destruction from the targeting. This is how complicated and this is how the situation and the scenario in gods the looks like a few miles a day in dogs. Of course. Thank you. Lets just bring off view as some context of the pictures that ive seen the picture you see now is of gulls uh those plans of smoke. Uh the uh, what we believe to be the is rarely assaults on the gaza strip itself is very small strip of land. Um and we will get more now from rob rentals or corresponds if hes in something is wrong. And of course, rob themselves did hit locations very close to where you are. What is the situation like, as far as these, right, these are concerned right now. Well, we are in nashville on, which is the sort of the, the, the largest city thats near the gaza. Strip behind me, the roadblock that you can probably see with police and armed soldiers. Thats blocking the road that leads towards gaza. We have had several missile stress. Are right, we seem to have lost robes so that well try to reconnect to them of the so you can imagine that trying to do all correspondence advice difficult circumstances, continues helen out, is there a considering there is this aerial bombardment going on . Well get to all in a little while. Lets go over to sarah kyra is joining us from East Jerusalem. Cyber just bring us up to speed of what we know is being said by these radio, socrates that we know. In fact, i think you told us earlier that the rate simons wellbeing had across the israel. There is real concern about whats going on on saturday. Excuse me. So its been absolutely, im so sorry. So dont worry, these things happen. Incredible changes that keep happening. So ive lost my voice, ive been talking since this morning, but in the last few hours its been incredible. The changes in the information that just keeps coming in. We just tut from the is rarely golf month to the number of tests, but they have records. It has risen. We will last saying 22. Its now going up to 40 and more than 750. 00 is rileys husband into it. But of course, those numbers unlikely to continue going up, but i also just want to update to on the lines that have just been coming through from the is really confident missing. Thats been housed with all the se Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu making some remarks. Its important that i reach this out because there are 3 of the taxes that he has mentioned in this statement. He said, since this morning, israel has been out to outbox objective, is to clear out the hostile forces. It says the info straight to the territory and restore security because of course, thats so confirming, but theyre all palestinians of fi since from gone. So there are still in those is re lease harry is the 2nd objective he, us in this communicate is the, at the same time is so exact an immense price from the enemy within the gaza strip. Besides, objective is to reinforce all the front so that no body in should mistakenly joined the school. He repeats again and weve heard this from him as well as the defense minister. We all knew in one in the war. He says that he calls on all citizens of israel to nights and to have victory in this will that kind of right. So that kind of tool is the same kind of tool that we saw 51 years ago on october. The 6th when they tried to fly, chelsea, egyptian and syrian a just a minute trees, but i just want to bring it back to where we all hit an occupied east. Jerusalem. We woke up very early in the morning, obviously hearing on the latest of what was happening in gaza, but on characteristic clean we saw real quick flying overall overhead. We quotes it on camera, it was happening every hour. Of course the, the system, the n c missile system, the israel has known as the and so a minus to intercept many of those. But whats happening in gaza pilots . So that right now there are several is randy rays are taking place within palestinian areas right now. Were hearing reports of 2 injuries, that one of the check points that takes you into occupied westbank. Now of course, whether that is related to what was happening perhaps been looking for a targeted uh um, the palestinians. We dont know because those rates tend to happen daily in occupied territories. What we do now is it is route. So thats how i am in the morning and they would say 10 they was sized, finds that they were taken by surprise that was on characteristic not to hear from them on such a big a. So the questions, of course, will be off among the to loans in the government will be how does this happen . The infiltration israel has admitted it has just not been in one area or one check point. But along the gaza strip, we also do notes on a local level amongst those areas. Those is right in the area is, is the electricity has been apparently restore that once theyve been working on. Not that uh, they electricity was costs out completely. But just a reminder on those tests that have been confirmed by israel, theyre saying at least 40 said uh, 750 into it. Of course were going to see a really strong response from israel like we havent seen before. The question is, is how are they going to be able to get those to our kid . Not they have soldiers to a kid, not amongst them, females civilians. But we have seen paraded in and some graphics videos as well that have been taken back into the. Was a how will they be able to bring them out all day, going to send a soldiers on the ground. Well have to see. So were talking about force, the, itll supply the stores and things the side of the coal size spring, just like you can see coming from the sky line across the goal is that they are continuing the rates and the bombardment from israel on the strip on going on and something is what we can go back now to rob rentals, whos just outside the bicycle on the road. We sort of had a few technical issues with you. All sounds good to have you back uh, just describe the scene for us. Uh while you are right now. Yeah, my apologies for those technical difficulties, but i can tell you that right now the missile garage from us from guys a has not ended. In fact, just maybe 5 minutes ago there were several sharp explosions that we could see. The places where missiles had been shot down, we could also see a new plumas spoke, smoke over there, to the south, and east in ashville, on uh, with, uh, uh, the security vehicles heading in that direction. So it may be that one of or more of those missiles has landed in asheville on there. Are there still a great paul of smoke over this area . Lots and lots of ambulances have been going back and forth out of coming out of this area. And heading up the road in the direction, tell a beef. So thats an indication that the casualties of the figures that we have now may actually increase. One word i think about those people who have been taken prisoner or taken hostage civilians and military by a moss and take it into garza. We just turn our corresponded in gaza describing how it is so densely populated. So packed with buildings, a warrens of buildings, and in addition to that, how moss is constructed tunnels, a honey comb with tunnels underneath the cities. So those will be filled with fighters. So this presents a huge dilemma to these really military if it wants to try and mount a round operation to free. Those people been captured by hamas and probably hidden in various parts of the city under guard. It makes it very difficult for a massive Bombing Campaign take place because these really dont want to endanger their own dozens of their own soldiers. So that leaves the possibility of commando raids or boots on the ground of some kind. And that means urban combat. The most deadly and dangerous kind of military engagement and that could lead to a large scale is really as well as palestinian casualties. And that is something that these really government has historically been very lows to see among hits uh, soldiers. Uh and in fact, uh when one soldier was taken captive uh, back in uh, 2006. Uh he loves shalise. Uh he, uh, he was uh uh he held captive for years and released in a prison or exchange for many, many palestinian prisoners. Now whether that kind of thing is in the offing, we dont know yet. Here goes another. Uh, ambulance from the is really Health Services heading into escalade. Thats all i can tell you from here. Its uh, the war is uh, is not, is not ending anytime soon. And the missile strikes continue. Problem is that for us, just outside of national and thank you. That is because i have enough to say that hold on whos on the as well, 11 on the board. And the key to um, says be made by the boss and by various palestinian groups as well. And what one does, whether that coal may be heard beyond the boulder, as well as a to slow behind me, really is one of the most volatile borders in the region. It has been quiet that call that you referred to by the how mouses, military chief on arms groups and 11 on to join the fighting against israel has not been heated, but there has been reaction by 11 ons. Hows the law a close ally of how most in that statement has well lot expressed support to the Palestinian People as well as the palestinian arms groups waging war against israel. But it stopped short of saying that this was joining the fight. But in that statement, it did threaten the Israeli Government and one way or another, its whole the is ready, the government understand what has happened. Hezbollah has repeated this time and time again. This new equation, which is the unification of front. That means if, as well, attacks one front, you know, other friends can open up among the arms groups who consider themselves as part of the excess of resistance, which is best buy event and, but also it has well as message. And that statement was a political message, the arab states, and the International Community, telling them whats happened today. How mazda is attacked, shows that efforts, or, you know, efforts to bring about normalization of ties with israel will fail because the palestinian cause will not die until there is victory. So, so far the border is quiet, but of course, this is a political message to putting really pressure on this rate is to think twice that its really could face pressure for more than one front. If it continues its campaign against garza other pools, the pressure is also to fall because while it will be concerns about uh, a military fund, opening out its nose and also its northern border 11 on southern border. The lebanese themselves might not really want to get into this complex whitley, on a much wider geographical scale in terms of the that population base. Yes, we have heard hezbollah give warnings, time and time again. Weve seen escalation along this border in recent months, but theyve also been very careful not for, for an all out for to prevents and all flare out because at the end of the day, hezbollah knows as well can hurt them. Yes, hezbollah has grown much stronger than it was in 2006 position guided missiles that can hit in the hearts of is re the cities. But at the same time as well can also cause harm to hezbollah and has but lot has a lots of enemies in 11 already. We are starting to hear Officials Say that the 11 on does not want to be dragged into this conflict. And there are, there is opposition to hezbollah in this country. They feel that, you know, they cannot decide whether this country is going to war or whether this country should be at peace. So it has a lot of considerations, but for now it is using this, the parents, if you like this new equation to try to put pressure on the, is released not to, to carry out an all out war against their allies. And garza said, of course, of course the on the is relevant on board. I think its just bringing some news coming from the palestinian helpful. So i would say that could send me 160. 00 palestinians killed the we assume most of those are in the gaza strip. I dont, the outlying areas of the goal is district where the assault into israel would have happened to also have to say that is why the souls of the saying as many as 700. 00 is riley, is killed. So of course will continue to monitor what those various sources say as the day progresses. That spring ignore all day. Shes a political analyst and the full but spokeswoman for the palestinian or 14 nor kentucky with us on ill just say it right. First you go to ask you, do you think the Palestinian Authority knew this attack was about to happen . I dont think anybody had advanced warning of what was about to happen. Its a certainly not the Palestinian Authority. This took everybody by surprise and i think everybody is kind of out of balance Palestinian Authority included. I just have to correct myself. So that was 700 is or at least in just mentioned that just somebody went to go door not to distract from what you was saying. And of course, uh, how surprised are you at the bread and the depth of the attack. Normally what we have, these infiltration is on the border if we called at the border between palestinian areas and in the state of israel. You know, we do have a couple of dozen, hey, with the injured dead, everybody retreat spot the talking stuff. But at this particular case, were talking bulls and just dozens what happened is definitely unprecedented. Its something that i dont think anybody could have imagined that those who used to talk about such raids were accused of being, you know, um, as fans of science fiction. We have to remember that israel is a military superpower, and the b a in balance of power between palestinians and israelis is great. Its huge. Its living, let years separate. The military capabilities of a mass fighters are all palestinian fighters and israel. So what we saw today is certainly unexpected and unprecedented. It may be in capabilities, but i have to also say and remind the viewers, the analyst and experts have been warning for months. That the reality on the grounds, the Record Number of palestinians kill dispossess, and injured and monetize bias, really forces and settlers across the occupied westbank, the continued c john gaza, the relentless attacks on zillow. So most, oh, they were all pushing the situation towards this moment. I dont think anybody imagined the particulars of the moment, but i think everybody with a sense of what was going on, knew that this call was deceiving. And that to that, something was going to happen Something Big given the deadlock, given the fact that you havent is really government. That not only wants to erase palestine as a political entity but denies the existence of the Palestinian People. There is no political horizon. The palestinians could have looked for no matter where they stood on the internals of a city and divide. It says, nor is it the script goes as we see that day for the next couple of hours, the repercussions of palestinians. We a smaller, inevitable and theyve already begun with the aerial bobbing for the palestinian present has reiterated the palestinians, have the right to self defense. How will not be so to have implemented in the west bank with very few have weapons sitting on the palestinian side. And yet we all seeing, as you just mentioned secular aggression, its been ongoing and its advanced in 2023 to rather frightening proportions. To look at the palestinians have been resisting occupation for late nearly a 100 years. They dont do that at the beckle in call of any a leadership, no matter. You know how elevated its status, the palestinians in, in towns and villages black for water. And im to the most i and others who have been under constant attack will continue to attempt to defend themselves as it is there right under International Law at this moment . Really . I think old palestinian politicians find themselves in a very awkward position of irrelevant uh it will take a lot or a, you know, politics to kind of have some space in this conversation. Especially given the predictable and quite a boring greeley reaction from the International Community. The as disregard of the context of these unfolding events and has resorted to tried and failed formulas of condemnation of ignoring the context of wanting to just, you know, shut the palestinians up and expressing solidarity with israel, throwing maybe some money at the for reconstruction. And then moving on uh, continuing to ignore the fact that that was the news remained occupied or pressed and wanting to break free. So barring any break in the dynamics of, at the political level, i would expect also and ethically disastrous, brutal a few days ahead, especially for palestinians and thousands of people are under siege and have know where to go. But if i finish talking to you, i will be speaking to her just about to get to james for the International Reaction that youve just alluded to. But can i also ask you that when all the fighting is done with the guns to put down . If they all have all put down and we dont think thats going to happen. So for some time, this ongoing conversation about palestinian unity about palestinian function sitting down to the same table and speaking with one voice. I mean, what is it gonna take for those functions, those groupings to sit down . I mean, youd be that the hall to those tools keeping, you know, all the plans, you know how they operate, you know, how they think. So to give us an oldest sons account, it rarely happen as well. Look, i think what is happening right now is bigger than how much bigger than israel, bigger than palestinian politics. And i think in many ways the dynamics will make many of the players irrelevant. Those will understand in the palestinian political spectrum, the enormity of whats happening be requirements. As far as ordinary pulse them you are concerned will take real steps, not rhetorical steps towards a regaining legitimacy for this palestinian political system which is divided in and really becoming and not just irrelevant but difficult to respect. Have a funny and want to see a resistance. They would you know that as, as im sure youre reporters will show up support acts of resistance. But they also want to see a very united political funds and right now with the internal division, it makes it very difficult for palestinians to re political fruits from what is happening. Uh, one can hold that the International Community would change the way it will react and resolve this current escalation. But it will ask hard questions and answer them in a manner that makes them look and act consistent with what they would. What would they claim to be their principles . So im talking about human rights is not enough to me to actually hold everybody accountable to the same standards. But without a united fellow study and leadership, it will be very difficult to see that bearing fruits a beneficial for it, at least the palestinians for now that will send you ends and does not live on the border areas as you reported are taking, you know, going further, deeper into gauze that to try and be in potentially say for areas that well send in across the occupied westbank in villages that have been targeted by stuff. Those are also racing for very violent stays. A had because of expected sampler problems across the occupied test, which well see what happens with the company as what for the newer day. Thanks for joining us over by law or the slightest involved in the surprise operation of the cold to the attack with cameras and within minutes of firing dfcs to walk its video. As of the offensive started circulating some official media clips from us media is showing the extent to the infiltration into is really territory. We have sure as well. This is all from us once to portray itself. The ration against is around the movements media on document at the moment sits fight those bridge, the guns a ball defense by food. I was all by
