of the commanders in east of gaza east of gaza city and unicity south of gaza he's a. wanted by the. military and the his house has been destroyed during an heiress trying to during the last four in gaza. and most of his life living as a hit single you know it is not important to live normal life because if he's wanted by the army. i think that maybe he as long as he is an active as. long as he is a freedom fighter big number as a hamas commander. he is wanted but i think that. he's a commander but there are other commanders maybe. maybe bigger than him i mean the higher rank higher higher rank than him but why him. i expect there's nothing for i expect because he's living in that area and that area. which also has been strong they bombed in gaza during the last war on gaza was that a surprise very active activities. to pretend maybe. it is just an express station. maybe they just feel that as long as he is living there he will be an easy target let's get him for for taking some info from him. such incident they will destroy or if forced or the gloom of the if for whic

hamas is the senior most faction it rules gaza it controls gaza its military wing. brigades by far the most powerful of the armed groups inside gaza and all of this coming after a pause really which took place in the aftermath of the military confrontation that took place last night inside gaza territory just to just to remind viewers what happened then it was we are told by the israeli military a regular sort of covert operation one designed to enhance they say the security of israel it was by no means meant they say to target or kill anyone and in particular however that is how things turned out this group of israeli special forces which was traveling in a civilian car seems to have been stopped. and challenged by hamas military figures inside gaza in the southeastern area of gaza around khan yunis and in the ensuing firefight a relatively senior hamas military wing commander from that area was shot and killed the israeli forces were pulled out under cover of strikes others apparently other israeli forces landed inside to to try to help them out one israeli soldie

positioned around gaza. this is the last. right now. hamas security hamas military are imposing. so. stunning lots of them something like like checkpoints in the area. borders coming the area to make sure that there are no more is under cover units like that unit which has just assessing the. command that was and was yes what can you tell us about those targeted in khan yunis in the israeli way.

israeli special forces went in it seemed to be a limited response coming out of gaza. that's right i mean it was an extremely risky situation already last night just to remind everybody what happened there was what the israeli military says was a relatively routine undercover operation going on inside gaza for the betterment they said of israeli security and that that team of undercover troops traveling in a civilian car according to hamas they were stopped challenged a gunfight broke out during which time a senior local commander of the hamas military wing the aka some brigades was killed in all seven palestinians killed one israeli soldier killed one wounded six palestinians wounded and the israeli. forces were brought out on the air support a number of airstrikes fired there were more than ten rockets launched from gaza or projectiles launched into israeli territory there after there was this lengthy period of calm during which it seemed that hamas was prepared to accept the israeli explanation of what had happened that this was not a targeted assassination attempt

station in gaza city locks it was poised to release a video showing. an alkie some team hitting a israeli bus with a coronet missile near jabalya on gaza's north now if you actually watch that video which was subsequently released the optics are really interesting in this is the message that hamas is sending to israel there are many soldiers in the frame they could have easily been targeted by that kasam team but kasam chose to hit an empty bus and send a message to israel that we can do lots of damage to you if you choose to invade but we will give you peace if you give us peace so both sides have proven that they capable of inflicting great damage on each other what is it going to take now to day escalate the situation we have fallen correspondent saying again that there's pressure on both sides for a military response but who is putting the pressure on as well on hamas to deescalate. well the united states certainly isn't putting the pressure on israel to deescalate i'm not sure if it's coming from the e.u. but the trump in ministration has given is

there in gaza. it's very hard to tell the moment because it changes all of our it was a very difficult night for piecing gobs of adults across the board and seven in the house seven and strike in the area in gaza city in the past hour with the intent of rockets again known just two of them in a time action has but in the morning that they would expand the range of rockets it so it would not stop. it but had carried out over a hundred strike throughout the gaza strip. the gaza strip is going to. be on the three hundred seventy blockade against communities and doesn't it for. now as we mentioned the un is calling on all the warring parties to show maximum restraint has there been any attempt at mediation so far. well there are reports. and trying to mediate as they've done before but unlike other previous rounds that we seen in the past couple of months there is no sign yet that those efforts will actually lead to a period of calm again i think it's really crucial to see what happens in the coming hou

on the ground in gaza are so dire right now allows the israelis to say the problems in gaza are not caused by us they're caused by misrule they're caused by hamas they're caused by corruption it's nothing to do with us if gaza was a liberal democracy everything would be fine but it's all hamas is fault. of course i mean that's part of the complication of of the of the picture here is the palestinian divide and we know that for a fact and it is harming the people of gaza and palestinians in general and the palestinian cause so. yes inside that are not troops but israel controls everything . that people cannot simply leave they cannot have their. basic health needs and that's not because of hamas that's because of israel now of course taking it to the next level between hamas and fattah that's a big problem and the palestinians are fed up but not till you're right to say that it's not the fault of hamas that there's a lack of health care or or the blockade but on the other hand human rights watch has a report out recently which pointed out the boats in the west bank and in gaza the pa

long term solution for the blockade of gaza strip. and this is supposed to be an agreement between israel on the one hand and the hamas militant was a gaza strip on the other and the now we have this very serious attack and so the question arises why did israel do it and i think in the past one can think of several explanations why the gauge inspire the thing one would be to give hamas a bloody nose on the eve of such an agreement just to you know act. towards the israeli government's own constituents so the palestinians that any such agreement will take place on israel's terms and so on the second explanation would be that israel is seeking to. improve the terms of any such agreement because it has not yet been concluded and a theory is that there are forces within the israeli government its fury establishment who are seeking to scuttle the process of sorts of agreements through a new large still large scale conflict i tend to believe i tend to lean more towards the first explanation which is that it is intended primarily to give ham

don't last question to you you've written a book on gaza you spent time in gaza you reported from gaza. do you think people in the west even in government not just members of the public recognize how dire the situation on the ground is in gaza and has been for many years no i don't and i think one of the tragedies of gods or actually is that if there's a or then. you know it becomes a big media story even when there are other things going on in the world and then. it dies as a story and the suffering doesn't stop and the factors that are leading up to the next or are very widely ignored by the media and i think that's a huge problem. well we'll have to leave it there thank you both for joining me on the show from way back next week. on november sixth the united states will vote will president donald trump gain or lose growth we'll be live in the white house here on capitol hill as the results come in join us for special coverage of the u.s. election on al jazeera. in the united states the religious right is on the mom we were always hunting for the guy who would take our script and rea

we pulled out of gaza, we pulled out the army from gaza, we pulled out the army from gaza, we pulled out the army from gaza, we handed the keys to mahmoud abbas and these people have decided to shoot at us. when they stop attacking is the day there will be peace. we have no claims... we don't wa nt peace. we have no claims... we don't want anything from them, we just wa nt want anything from them, we just want them to lead their lives and let us lead our lives. they're not doing that. as long as they continue attacking us, we will fight back, regardless of the hypocrisy of the international institutions, which arejust a big home of international institutions, which are just a big home of hypocrisy. i understand you have serious political ambition, and we've discussed at the politicking you've been involved in in recent days, but the problem is it isn'tjust the international community that things with your uber hawkish stance you're going far too far, even the israeli army things you're going far too far. in recent days, you've criticised the army itself. this is a quote from you just

on the ground in gaza are so dire right now allows the israelis to say the problems in gaza are not caused by us they're caused by misrule they're caused by hamas they're caused by corruption it's nothing to do with us if gaza was a liberal democracy everything would be fine but it's all hamas is fault. of course i mean that's part of the complication of of the of the picture here is the palestinian divide and we know that for a fact and it is harming the people of gaza and palestinians in general and the palestinian cause so. yes inside that are not troops but israel controls everything . that people cannot simply leave they cannot have their. basic health needs and that's not because of hamas that's because of israel now of course taking it to the next level between hamas and fattah that's a big problem and the palestinians are fed up but not till you're right to say that it's not the fault of hamas that there's a lack of health care or or the blockade but on the other hand human rights watch has a report out recently which pointed out to both in the west bank and in gaza the pale

on gaza and allowing. more and more goods into this area so he doesn't have partners in the military a sub regime and he and bennett to do their policy they don't think about that cracking down on hamas and killing more people will put us in a better position it will bring us back to square one and more casualties and more fatalities and more problems in the international and regional rina you know netanyahu just visited on mon and our we were playing in abu dhabi so he is looking at the region he has to be careful not to cross certain red lines between you know the israelis and hamas and the and lieberman was part of this is just it's you know it's cheap politics it has nothing to do with substance when you talk about it being cheap politics however akiva eldar is this may be good news for mr netanyahu because if we now know that those private arguments within the realms of israeli politics over gaza have now gone public the man who said i can't accept what we are arguing about or where i think the argume

gaza's frontier with israel. and of course have been concerned an international condemnation at the disproportionate use of force israeli snipers killing maiming targeting palestinian protesters the israelis arguing that. they were simply protecting their borders in the protest as with that to breach the borders but there were protests taking place those appeared to have. eased off and then this deal now to bring some or spite by allowing millions of dollars worth of aid to go into the strip to pay those salaries. but there had been no prior warning or indication that a security raid like this might take place reports saying that six palestinians were killed by israeli forces in the strip in the southern city of han eunice the had also been reports of an exchange of fire between israeli forces and hamas and also reports of as strikes as well and some of those that we've been speaking to who are inside gaza say that they they can still hear drones buzzing. just ahead of them but right now we report suggests that t

hamas which also have other groups inside the gaza strip let's say more radical groups and hamas has the call range the how does the car stop the rocket that sets of course is not only hamas that operate inside the ship it's a very complicated situation i think we're going to have to take so we see how the evening's going to develop what kind of negotiations behind going to go on to try and calm situation down but but again yes this is something that no one expected particularly just a couple of days all three. million dollars to the gold step with. the civil servants being paid per hour being let in and this is all part of the negotiation. and israel would have allowed that everyone sort of. with a question mark to see what exactly happened tonight and how it's going to unbolt all right thank you very much and now stephanie deca speaking to us. let's get the latest now from mike hanna who is live in washington and mike as stephanie was explaining we have a situation here where elite israeli forces entered gaza the southern city of khan yunis she was saying that six palestinians have

hamas axa television and the gaza strip destroying the studios in gaza city as well as nearby buildings israeli army says the strikes and shelling in response to about three hundred rockets fired from gaza it says the iron dome defense system intercepted most of the rockets but some hit homes and southern israel while one struck a bus three palestinians were killed in the violence and one israeli soldier was critically injured hamas says its rocket fire was in retaliation to the deaths of seven palestinians killed during and coersion by israeli special forces in the gaza strip on sunday stephanie decker reports now from the gaza israel border in fading late afternoon light the skies around gaza roared with rockets some intercepted by israel's iron dome anti-missile system this was the response from gaza's armed groups to an israeli undercover incursion into the strip on sunday night that killed seven members of how mass is military wing among them a senior commander and an israeli officer. israeli television was soon broadcasting images of damaged homes and raging fires in towns borderi

has reportedly had a warning to evacuate its headquarters inside gaza city. also there was a report that there'd been a smaller drone strike targeting that building or that area which is often the preparation for a wider or a larger scale attack from an aircraft so that suggests that the israeli response is by no means over even if the rocket fire coming out of gaza may have lol to some extent so it is clear that the israeli prime minister is under some political pressure to act with some strength when it comes to hamas that's in terms of the language that's being used here in israel just yesterday when he was in paris on sunday he was saying that he was willing to bear some political cost for trying to pursue the true steel with hamas to try to calm and quell the situation. in gaza or in the surrounding israeli areas around the border fence but now he's come back to the situation which of course was triggered by an israeli military operation inside gaza on sunday night so as stephanie was just saying we had been sort of hearing and telling a story of sort of

throughout the gaza strip. the gaza strip is going to. be on the three hundred sixty rockets against communities and doesn't it for. now as we mentioned the u.n. is calling on the warring parties to show maximum restraint has there been any attempt at mediation so far well there are reports. trying to mediate as they've done before but unlike other previous rounds of the siege in the past couple of months there is no sign yet that those efforts will actually lead to a period of calm again i think it's really crucial to see what happens in the coming hours both sides have said in the past week that they don't want to go to an all out war but what they're doing right now is that both sides want to try and now the people of gaza town you're living in desperate conditions in this latest bottoms only makes things worse are there any prospects for things improving there in gaza under hamas control. why it's actually quite interesting this nation because it comes actually in the middle of a period where by your and special according. to reach a

we can kill in the gaza strip. my complaint and our government that they are not using the for last four years since their last wide open ation in order to make sure that we capable of inserting wage between the almost two million palestinians in gaza strip and to some us israel has an interest to weaken hamas israel has an interest to make sure that life normal did enough hours so for electricity enough. enough air quit meant in the in the hospitals the. quality of water is a make the potable water so we don't have an interest in human suffering in gaza and our government some will fail to do it they fail to realize the strategically we have to strengthen abu mazin the p.l.o. in the mullah and to weaken hamas in gaza not the other way around. so labor party has left the coalition government and the jewish home party threatens to follow suit on last its leader naftali bennett gets to see it defense minister could this be the beginning of a and for an attorney on his coalition i mean how could its potential downfall

from gaza into israel israeli officials say at least two hundred rockets were fired from gaza many intercepted by missile defense systems one of the rockets did hit a bus though another hit a house in southern israel israeli military says it's carrying out air strikes throughout the gaza strip in response and at least three palestinians have been killed despite u.s. president donald trump's claims to have neutralized north korea's nuclear threat it seems pyongyang is moving ahead with its missile program sixteen hidden bases counted in remote mountainous areas have been identified in a u.s. think tank report based on new commercial satellite images while pyongyang's offer to dismantle a major launching site it has continued to make improvements at more than a dozen other sites. now pressure is growing on saudi arabia to reveal the details of journalist jamal khashoggi s murder the u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt has arrived in riyadh and met with king solomon he's urging the kingdom to fully cooperate with turkish investigators and speaking in paris the canadian prime minister justin trudea

station in gaza city it was poised to release a video showing. an alkie some team hitting a israeli bus with a coronet missile near jabalya and gaza's north now if you actually watch that video which was subsequently released the optics are really interesting in this is the message that hamas is sending to israel there are many soldiers in the frame they could have easily been targeted by that because some team but kasam chose to hit an empty bus and send a message to israel that we can do lots of damage to you if you choose to invade but we will give you peace if you give us peace. is the co-founder of the news website electronic and to far and he intifada and he says israel does not have a real strategy for attacking gaza. you have a defense minister avigdor lieberman who is one of the most extreme and violent politicians in the world today who has been saying for months that he wants to carry out a large scale attack on gaza and we've seen other members of the government calling for more restraint not out of any sympathy with palestinians but

in gaza developing . it's very hard to tell you at the moment because it changes all of our it was a very difficult night for people in gaza but old across the border in southern israel there have been sever and try to kill you in the area in gaza city in the past hour or so until that been ever rockets again the. two of their guns and their kind of person of action have threatened that morning that they would expand the range of rocket if the thread would not stop to think that if i had carried out over one hundred right. throughout the gaza strip you are god tradin god that is the norm these are numbers from many on the over three on that she rockets against killing people seven attorney. tanya cramer reporting for us there from gaza now to some other stories making news around the world russian opposition leader alexina vali says he's been barred from leaving the country and a message recorded at a moscow airport the kremlin critic allege he's being prevented from traveling to the european court of hum

throughout the gaza strip. the gaza strip in the government. and on the community on the over three hundred seventy rockets against communities and seven it's actually quite interesting this escalation because it comes actually in the middle of a period where exits were made by egypt and the u.s. and special coordinator to reach a calm to tween isn't some of which included something that my electricity came in the back to the ago of so that's not always upon us and trees web page with cash from qatar to ease the situation but at the moment it's unclear what will happen with those efforts and people in gaza quit continues rounds of violence that come back again and again it's kind of part of the life but of the three was everybody is of course by far it doesn't really need to know war are a longer military operation they are pulled down and trying to mediate as they've done before but unlike other previous rounds of the scene in the past couple of months there is no sign yet that those efforts will actually lead to a period of calm again i think

reggie specter of gaza that when gaza does not go. nobody in the world or in the region coos about gaza and gaza continues to live in this huge the biggest reason. without any perspectives and when gaza starts to prove to become violent then all the parties all of a sudden remember that there is a problem and this problem must be so so these protests by the way the lives of over two hundred. but it's the protests those demonstrate those these protests at least communicated the tension of the wound or reminded the wounded the region the guns they stay in a cage i couldn't live even the newspaper joining us live from tel aviv thank you very much thank you. new studies have found that u.s. soldiers who are part of the war on terror a struggling to make ends meet they are facing chip and veterans of previous generations as now investigates veterans are the favorite cause of pundits politicians and anyone else who wants to appear patriotic across america there is no shortage of support our troops bumper stickers wagon waving and praise for

yeah that's exactly the question i mean gaza is a bit at the crossroads because people in gaza just hoped that some understandings would be materializing between hamas and israel mediated by egypt and they have just seen two weeks ago that moloch tuesday came in as some new measures as well as some of the salaries of hamas and for using gaza where paid so people were thinking this going in a different direction but now they're brought back to reality and they said to me you know it's very difficult we're not really feeling in control here and of course every time these this violence occurs they're thinking off you know three previous wars and that that's why there's so much for you there that this might lead to a bigger escalation can you what's your feeling from reporting there or we're reporting in gaza and then back in jerusalem what do you think is going to happen next. well there are a lot of unconfirmed reports right now that. there could be some kind of ceasefire that by egypt at the moment we're not seeing this materializing yet because in the past there have been rocket also to h

gaza is entitled to self-determination god's child entitled to resist occupation and gaza and title to self-defense to i cannot see any any kind of condition that would justify what the israelis are doing in gaza it is not surprising this is one of the continuous acts of incident of strangling the gazans and continuing control of this large jail in the world well if we look at the past forty eight hours armed groups in gaza have fired hundreds hundreds of rockets into israel and injuring dozens of civilians in the process but do you think this was an overreaction to the israeli right. well the israelis have been doing this and there is a long record of the israeli shooting fish in the barrel. in gaza which they continue to do and the mere fact that gaza is strangled is in a box two million people out of box in a small territory and denied access to the world through land or sea what do you expect of these people to do. to say that it's too much the and it is this really who started this raid is who infiltrated who violated some kind of agreement and went into the garden territories tri

you're saying the besieging tactics in gaza, the fact gaza doesn't really have power supplies that work, it doesn't really have clean water, has a jobless rate of 60% or more, you're saying all of this isn't tough enough, that israel should be hammering gaza harder. is that it? no, i said we should be hammering hamas harder. i have no issue whatsoever with the gazan people. i have big issues with hamas, whose charter and actions clearly state that they want to annihilate everyjew in israel. they say explicitly we want to kill all thejews, and by the way, they shoot thousands of missiles at israel. i believe israel must be much tougher on our enemies, and yes, we have to kill every terrorist who shoots a rocket at us, something we've not been doing for many years. look at the record, mr bennett, i don't want to repeat myself, the last big assault on gaza killed 2,000 palestinians, most of whom were civilian. we see in our media every week the images of the stand—off between palestinian protesters, sometimes they have stones, sometimes they have flaming torches. they go to the fence, th

gaza. do you think people in the west even in government not just members of the public recognize how dire the situation on the ground is in gaza has been for many years no i don't and i think one of the tragedies of gods are actually is that if there's a war then huge attentions were swings on you know it becomes a big media story even when there are other things going on in the world and then as soon as that war is over it dies you know as a story in that story and the suffering doesn't stop and also the factors that are leading up to the next war. very widely ignored by the media and i think that's a huge problem. we'll have to leave it there thank you both for joining me on the show from back next week. wish the world innovation summit for health one community of two thousand health care experts innovators and policymakers from one hundred countries. one experience sharing best practices and innovative ideas. one goal i hope clear world through global collaboration. apply now to attend

happening in gaza now. well first we're getting his report states these are still unconfirmed reports set apparently a cease fire survive they say calm has been reached within the d.h. and off each of the u.n. and other countries between palestinian factions and israel this is still one concern because policy inspections have basically said we would hold of fire also israel would stop its tie and is very usually in these cases says they would reserve the right to respond to any impression we have seen. over the afternoon rocket attacks on southern israel as well as strikes in gaza the situation is still very fluid and we have to wait and see whether this translate into an extra calm over the next hours but we're talking about what is effectively the biggest flare up in violence for four years is this really all about sunday's botched israeli special forces raid. i think it's a combination of factors i mean you have to see that there has been a lot of pressure on gaza on all levels on the economic level and

and that gaza is a player in internal israeli politics no. well britain's prime minister is trying to win approval for bracks a draft deal with the e.u. at a special cabinet meeting negotiators from britain and the european union came to an agreement on tuesday several of tourism aides cabinet ministers are reported to have concerns about the draft clock on the other e.u. countries will also have to apra approve the proposal lawrence lee is joining us from london so can may then get this draft plan through the cabinets and if she does is that the end of that's. well she she she's got a chance i think i mean certainly there are a lot of skeptics inside the cabinet ministers who are deeply unhappy and they're being. hardliners to show some backbone and another resign or say they're not prepared to accept it i think i think stories amaze argument and if you're trying to be benevolent is to try to find a form of brick seats that can try and bring the country together effectively she said of her own party conference a few weeks ago that she didn't

has cut funding to united nations organizations like annorah providing assistance in areas like gaza so the u.s. administration has made very clear all along that its major aim is the security of israel this peace initiative as president trump would describe he wants to put on the table but as we continually state the palestinians will have nothing to do with it so the whole events of what is happening in gaza obviously could impact on the timetable of president trump's attempt but certainly is not likely to stop him trying to bring forth this initiative as he puts it mike thank you very much for that for that for now that is mike hanna live and washington d.c. let's hear now from one diplomatic it's james bays who's in paris and he talked to us earlier saying that the raid would likely be a focus of talks between world leaders who are in the french capital. i think it's likely in the coming hours the focus of diplomacy may well be here in the french capital because of the commemorations of well. we've had a large group of global leaders the seventeen leaders here in this city at the

response and we saw a huge faraj rocket fire coming out of gaza. less than twenty four hours later that is being responded to by the israelis there is pressure on the israelis to show that they. exacting the right kind of price from hamas for allowing and of and for firing so many rockets out of gaza into the surrounding israeli areas the question is whether they will both be satisfied on both sides it enough has been done the other motivation the counter motivation is for hamas to secure the gains that have been made from these cease fire talks in recent weeks the fuel coming in to fuel the electricity power station the money coming in to allow some salaries of civil servants to be paid getting some sort of fuel back into the economy which is being on the verge of collapse these are significant things especially for the residents of gaza and you just heard a couple days ago from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that he had built up some political capital over the recent years and it was worth trying to spend that on trying to r

where are the rest along the gaza israel border continues despite an. truce reports surfaced tuesday that israeli soldiers wounded abu ammar he's a young palestinian man who's photos become a symbol of palestinian resistance joining us with the latest on gaza in east jerusalem we have al jazeera correspondent stephanie decker hi there stephanie always good to have you on the stream goodness me trying to keep up with what's happening and what's the most important right now what would you tell our audience that they need to be paying attention to. well i think what's different this time for me a new vibe spoken about this before but this time two things have happened in the last couple of days and just announced the last couple of hours which could indicate that maybe things could be changing for the people for the palestinians living in gaza one is electricity of course they've been living on sporadic electricity of a couple of hours a day up to maximum four hours it doesn't come in chunks and they don't know when it comes so there's a great injection of

from israel's border with gaza. it is the biggest escalation between israel and hamas in-situ thousand and fourteen war we have seen intense powers's of rockets outgoing into these border communities in israel there's also been heavy air strikes inside the gaza strip particularly in heavily populated areas including the building belonging to her masses a locks a t.v. now we know negotiations are ongoing behind the scenes particularly spearheaded by egypt also the united nations to try and deescalate the situation the new york times is revealing more details about the recordings turkey shed on the killing of saudi jenna's jamal khashoggi and says one of the so-called kill team tells a superior in a phone call to quote tell your boss that the mission was complete u.s. intelligence officials believe that saudi crown prince mohammed bin. investigators in the northern california town of paradise have been searching for human remains in what's now the deadliest wildfire in the u.s. state's history at least forty two peopl

a period of calm and gaza during which. allows for the first time maybe to have qatari money funneled to have. to have to give some space for something like sition for the blockade on gideon levy as a heretic columnist he says the end of the blockade of gaza is key to preventing ongoing violence it might not necessarily lead to a war but it's really touch and go here again we are in this vicious circle of irresponsibility stevie's which brings other responsible reactions both parties i believe are not interested right now in a war and both parties are not doing good nuff to prevent the let's not break away from the main core issue and the core issue is the siege over gaza and ateneo has no intention to put an end to the siege so as long as the siege goes on we will be again and again put in this trip of vicious circle of one violent action which leads to another violent actions and still i believe. even now it's and you know we'll do anything possible to prevent a war because he knows as we all know that in the new war in g
