good morning, iam good morning, i am are not. in as well, it s iiam good morning, i am are not. in as well, it s ”am local time, four hours after the ceasefire which lasted for seven days expired in the early hours and resolve within minutes of seven o clock passing the resumption of fighting here. anna foster. steve, if you wouldn t mind swinging the camera around, you can see and hear the sound of rockets being fired from gaza as the iron dome missile defence system, those puffs of smoke in the area which is actually intercepting those rockets and exploding them where they are, just let you listen to the sound of that, it is really a strong indication, as strong as there is that fighting has resumed to an equally high level i would say here that we saw from the start of the ground operation here several weeks ago. looking across the skyline into gaza as we have been this morning we have seen and heard the sound of regular airstrikes, plumes of smoke rising into the sky
another or laying siege to gaza since 1967. the israelis ran gaza for like 25 or 30 years. they occupied it. they were there. and so this is not going further than they ve gone before. they ve gone much further before. in their formal occupation and colonization and settlement of gaza. that s what gave fwoirth hamas. the israeli policy is totally ineffective, and they have to do this every two or three years, and the proficiency, the technical proficiency of the resistance groups in palestine and gaza especially is getting greater with every round of fighting. so this clearly shows there must be a political resolution. this is a political problem. it s a problem with israeli occupation and laying siege to gaza. and the palestinians are resisting. and therefore you have rockets being fired in both directions. you cannot only talk about israel s right to protect itself when israel is laying siege to gaza and has been for decades. so unless there s a political process that is fair to both
worse. martin savidge for us. thank you. live from jerusalem. for more on the story here s john. okay, natalie, thank you. and we have more now on that red cross two-hour-long cease-fire on sunday. it was intended to let palestinians bury their dead and tend to their wounded. but the fighting did not stop for long. here s ben wedeman reporting in from gaza. [ sirens ] reporter: for a brief moment, ever so brief, the guns went silent in shaja ia. just enough time to take away the dead and wounded and for everyone else to leave. people are coming out reporter: or beg for help. [ speaking foreign language ]. reporter: my son is in the house, amira heles tells me. he s wounded. i called for an ambulance. i called for help.
but not long after that cease-fire began it was broken by more fighting, with both sides blaming the other. in an interview with cnn s wolf blitzer israel s prime minister defended his country s military operation. i mean, we didn t seek this escalation. hamas forced it on us. they started rocketing our cities, steadily increasing the fire. i called for deescalation. they refused. reporter: later in the day israeli leaflets were reported falling on other gaza neighborhoods, farther to the north, warning residents to leave. a clear indication gaza may have more violent days to come. the israeli military is saying the shaja ia military continues to be a main point of friction, that was their words they used, and that there was very close combat overnight with hamas militants. they are also reporting that there was one attempt at which a suicide bomber apparently tried to attack israeli forces. so it is looking like it s going to be another grim day.
i saved him $519, and it certainly didn t go toward that ring. am i right? [ laughs ] [ dance music playing ] so visit progressive.com today. i call this one the robox. in gaza the fighting has
