But for now, there are scenes of joint celebration in some occupied territories. Palestinians in ramallah on hebron, if you will keep fight westbank out on the streets in support of the fighters, garza has witnessed many violent confrontations with these items, but all science indicates this one might be the list yet.

So a typo on palestine tower right in the middle of does is city unit take a moment to breed. Takes a moment. You and your team take a moment to breathe. Ok. Just take a moment as we are looking at this picture. We are hours into this war between gaza and israel, and we have just witness live, what it is really el rey looks like on a populated area of gauze, a city, an air raid on a building just behind or corresponding human side as she was reporting and shortly after that warning shots, israel struck the area again flattening a high rise building. Just make us away from mount bureau, cooled the post on tower. The is riley military says it struck infrastructure belonging to senior moss operatives, team and guns. It has confirmed that media offices and lawyers were located in that building and says it has find a badge of rockets. A tel aviv is fighting continues between the group and as rarely forces em us is, its find 150. 00 rockets at the city. Some 70 kilometers away from cancer. Some rockets managed to hit buildings in the city in the early hours of saturday as well as sirens have been sounding in the city right throughout the day. But our correspondents are covering this on president s and story brought around the region. Given to l site is in kansas out of high that isnt occupied East Jerusalem for us. Were going to go to you in the 1st and does it, you know, what is happening . Where you are, we saw those dramatic moments from a few hours ago. I broke it still being fired into the guns. And now have they been any more it strikes the yes, let me start with the latest strike. The latest strike was uh on uh, 6 story residential building in the valley, a neighborhood thats in the north and part of the gaza strip. Its a residential uh building. Uh, also uh, prior to that uh, 7 homes, uh, at least 2 Story Building each home has been targeted in russell and as a boot camp. The 2 homes which were targeted, there were target that without prior notice, which caused or resulted in a great amount of casualties between a number of civilians killed and a number of other is injured. The home was targeted on while the, the residents of the homes are aware in its uh, also uh, the largest or the 2nd largest tower residential tower in because the city of palestine tower that we have seen uh, prior of been towed to the slots and uh, bro, to to the ground. This tower is in a very densely populated area in gaza. City, its very close to our bureau. Uh, the destruction in the area in the buildings and towers adjustment to that tower and around it is not says were still were still witnessing and hearing bombardments in different areas across the gaza strip. They have not stopped. Wild beverages of rockets has also been lost a very short while ago towards itd be eas, rarely, towns. Now above they did the spokesman of the cassette brigades, he earlier said that there is going to be a very intense, retaliate sion on these targeting of this residential tower of palestine tower. And thats when we witnessed a 150 rockets being fired into tel aviv as a response to that uh to that air strike or ease really attack on palestine towers. Let me also remind you that were still hearing a and reports from a brigades the military wing of him us saying that policy, new fighters who have infiltrated into these really towns are still conducting armed confrontations with the is really soldiers in those areas in at least 25. 00 locations in those towns is rarely media is also talking about a number of, of hostages being held in, in the city, wrote a Police Station. And in, in these towns where the confrontation is taking place. A number of also eas, really captive, have been captivated and brought into because the strip earlier these uh where is the earlier hours of the sack today by the ease really a by the palestinian fighters, who has in full tree to into the is really towns bringing back and dozens of ease, really soldiers and civilians into because this trip where they just said that they are being kept in a very safe and, and uh, and very safe hiding places of belonging to their existence, functions and tunnels in because this trip you know, given everything that has happened via today and the bombardment that continues this evening. How will people coping with said, is there any way that a site to the mouth able to seek shelter anywhere . Well as the night falls and the air strikes are very, getting tons into a cross because the strip weve witnessed in these our is the targeting of residential towers, the targeting of residential homes. It gets worse and worse, the feeling of fear, the feeling of worried among the civilians of gods though they do not know what to expect, especially when the night falls. They know that the launching of the launching of air strikes only because the strip usually gets more intense as weve witnessed in, in previous escalations in previous wars. So this, this is really a, im a feeling of mixed feelings of the and excited t of worry and in great fear among the civilians of god. So the civilians have guys that again, were talking about 3200000 People Living and 365 kilometers, have no shelters underneath their homes or buildings to shelter in like what weve seen is really towns. So they basically have no uh, safety protocol. They have no place to turn to their under an ongoing is really seized for the past 17 years. They are not able to leave because the strip in case when such wars are escalations erupt and they have no shelters inside the strip to hide into. Okay, thank you so much. We really do appreciate that as you mail site for us and gaza go, lets go to saw the highlights whos joining us from occupied East Jerusalem. And as we mentioned a little earlier, and more rockets have been writing down on is right, 155. 00 at television the last few hours. Can you talk us through what damage that has caused . Oh yeah, absolutely. Now some of those have been to, of course, residential buildings has seen those on fire in big tunes of smoke. One of our team members was describing how she, how to, um, take shelter for awhile and she said it was an assessment for quite a while. The way the sirens were going off, so she realized that this was different. Of course, at the same time the Cabinet Meeting was being held by is riley Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. A special meeting to discuss. Obviously we latest events has their own folding on what the sign is next and it was interrupted a couple of times with those politicians how to also take shells. So now this is really minutes. She has confirmed that 3500 real kits have been fired since this all started in the early hours by him us. And also its as its, its, its managed to take a back, a control if you like, of a several of those, or most of those is riley assessments and towns on that for the with cause the so it seems to be saying that its, its a managing to take control of the situation that it clearly has no control over assessing the for the 1st 4 to 5 hours. When this all kicks off in the early hours. What we do also know is that the desktop has been rising. There have been apparently some debts in tel aviv. We do know that at least 200 is rileys, have been killed, and the death toll just keeps increasing as well over a 1000. And those all seem to be the latest figures, but well expect those to rise certain meet very soon. Theres been some very strong was coming out from this government at the moment, including the, the is really defense minister who has made it very clear. He and his was said, we will change the face of reality in gaza years from now. So that just gives you an idea of the initial shock of perhaps it took them a while to collect best thoughts and figure out what to do next. And now that making it clear, they declared that as a war of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu high school, that a will, he blames how must have stopped seeing this. But theyve said to me, come back saying that they will call it. And of course, this hasnt been seen before on this scale. Like you said, its are very, very strong woods there, but its the pain, any further updates on what is ro my do in response, any indication of where they might take things. Next, i know theres been a lot of talk about the possibility of a Ground Invasion at some stage. That was definitely, it was not concerned, it hasnt been confirmed. We actually havent had any details on what the plan is next. Spot say, well, the seem to be a losing that of foot soldiers could potentially take place. But of course, how many of these riley soldiers this was confirmed by these riley government to, ill just, there are there in the day that many of the soldiers and civilians had been taken across into gaza. So what that means by sending for soldiers will have to see, but its, thats in the looking like it could head towards an attack. Not just from the arrows weve been seeing from some of the, as the, you know, the extraordinary pictures that weve been seeing from coming out of gaza, but also from land and sea and judging by those, sorry, strong was they want to show how much that they will bring them down on that needs. Mm. Okay, thank you so much for that data. Sort of hide it for us and occupied East Jerusalem. Well in the occupied with bank, theres been celebrations by some palestinians up to the military operation by whom us abraham is in ramallah with more some of the palestinians ive been speaking to today about the current and surprising escalation that took place or the on software they they say that theyre proud, they call this they as historic. They say that for once palestinians are able to loans such a big attack. The surprise israel, some of them are telling me that is where these are living, their normal lives wide. The other parts of the geography the occupied territories has been suffering people that have been deprived from the basic right. So when we talk about movement, when we talk about resources, when we talk about very simple day today, issues not to mention the big ones like the minute to recheck. Points like the telling is like the grabbing of labs of the home definitions and what have you. So palestinians feels thats for ones that able to show strength and 4th, 4th. And the hope the that show a 4th kind of would change some how the rules of the game would show israel and the palestinians have twice back. Again, these really continued actions. And weve also seen palestine is so take to the streets on saturday at protesting against these really forces. Weve seen some of them get injured and killed by uh, these radio army. We are expecting a police tool funerals to take place on sunday. It has already been declared as a general strike with palestinians are going to be more and then the da says, and also paying a close attention to how is real is going to be responding to that. But again, i just need to come along. These are live pictures of Benjamin Netanyahu, the as riley Prime Minister, giving a statement. And tell us eve, this evening, after a quite remarkable di uh, in just hours of to 150. 00 a rock. Its ryan, down on the city uh, directed me from garza. Okay, well the political leader of him off hes also issued a video statement. He says, mazda is military operation, will continue beyond the casa, oh, fun and friends, but the, i mean, how does that . Ill tell you the phone started from guys that it when i bought a little more flexibility to see different card westbank 194834. And then our people laced up across i was told to see me of this. What else is the bat says thats indeed all im out of both on the the thing is all the guys that it sees the battle in the are and most of the nations same opinion for that isnt that it is the battle for what if i last time it is a bad thing for the is a bad thing for a lot, so most talk to him. What the hell . Just here a spoke to the director of the l. A chief, a hospital in guns a. Hes described a dime medication situation in the besieged strip down a bit. The kids stuff, theres no doubt the strip has been under tight siege for 17 years. The medical sector has been paying the heaviest price for the siege. We have sharp shortage of medical supplies and appliances, namely those badly needed in the Emergency Rooms and intensive care unit. Many of those were receiving are in Critical Condition and need. I see you treatments and how we have declared a state of emergency across medical facilities. The numbers are huge, which cannot be handled by the already suffering sector. Patients with chronic diseases are dying due to the absence of medicine. We cannot even see them treated in the west bank or elsewhere as he is rarely occupation. Forces are not only denying their departure, but also preventing medical supplies from entering gaza. So we are doing all we can with what we have, the, theres been a lot of International Reaction to the conflicts between mazda and israel. Just a short while ago, the us president said his country support, as well as rock solid and unwavering. Joe biden says hell be staying in close contact with is really Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. Israel has the right to defend itself, and his people full stop. Theres never justification for terrorist attacks in mind, ministration to support, resist, security is rock solid and on wave. Let me say this is clearly as i can. This is not a moment for any party hospital, the israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage the world is watching. Lets get reaction from washington d. C. L. State department correspondents, russell and jordan is joining us now. And the job button, they are leaving absolutely no doubt where he in the us stands. Thats correct. The you as president uh, in the past hour made it very clear that the us support israel. Busy in its war against thomas, it has called this attack repeatedly from various top level officials and appalling. The attack on the israel. Busy the people and certainly given the number of conversations that are top officials have been having with there is really counter parts. Its probably safe to say that israel will not block for anything as it tries to repel this attack and try to recover its citizens. Both the civilian and military who were kidnapped by her most fighters on saturday. This is something that has certainly shocked people. Its not that its not often that you see us officials all coming out to make some sort of statement, especially on a holiday weekend. But given the a gravity and the unusual nature of this attack, certainly the judgment was made apparently at the white house that the u. S. President needed to Say Something in front of the
