We think powers to fight soaring violence and organized crime. Parliamentary elections are underway in the mall deeds and a full that could affect the countrys ties within china. And im chief of fitness with the school to record for you to beloved in medicine can use and then pick champions. Payment is a chip chip to so its a new base in the womens own me race. The we begin this news, our in Southern Gaza were a mass grave has been uncovered in the city of con eunice. At least 210. 00 bodies have so far been found buried inside the cities. Nasir medical complex palestinian Civil Defense says its continuing to search for more bodies and elsewhere in Southern Gaza at least 19 people had been killed and is really strikes across stuff on sunday. 14 of those victims for children. Meanwhile, the us is really media are reporting that the bite and administration is such a sanction. A battalion of the is really military for committing Human Rights Violations in the occupied westbank. This would be the 1st time the u. S. As in post sanctions on a unit of the is really our me, honey, my food begins our coverage from hon. Eunice with more on those mass graves. This is the side of a mouth, the grave though the created by these really military as it is for not the hospital with in the past month is really military not only destroyed the facility and severely damaged the whole complex that in off of the hospital. But also created this master grave. For the past, the 3 days Civil Defense, the crew members and paramedics, have been able to retrieve a 180 bodies of people who were buried in this gnostic grave house. More than half of these bodies were 3 of their on non largely on identified, their identity is lost and their names might not be remembered at all. Theres really military believe, do freed, this mazda grave. After taking the bodies that were buried at the courtyard of the hospital, given the difficulties of performing formal barrier as the war was urging, and the attacks were scaling up the vicinity of north of the hospital. It is also believe that is really military use this mazda grave, and it created it as it was searching for the bodies of israeli hostages. As more bags are found here, with zebra riding on them. But whats more devastating is the bodies that were found that were tied up with zip blogs inside of plastic bags of wind varied and bird. And in this mazda grace, many of the people who, when missing from the hospitals, are believed to be among the peebles, the bodies are retrieved from this massive graves. This is not in my most, i was just the it off last of the house without talestine. Legal scholars are calling for an International Inquiry into the discovery of the mass graves and gaza. They say there is evidence of what the International Court of justice describes as a plausible genocide in gaza. The finding the mass graves like this is always a red flag that deserves a credible, independent investigation into the commission of potential crowds. I think theres a, theres 2 elements here of play under one have the all existing obligation by for israel to identify and respecting of the remains of those the die even even if they are the combatants. And this is an obligation that has been established even by a really courts. So the existence of this, of a and the 10 on mark and then match rate isnt itself about time. Once you find it then, then theres also the need for, for a credible investigation into potential problems and into the circumstances of all these people thought theres very few instances of is really soldiers being sent to jail for crimes. And in general, the 5 routes of, of is really mandatory. Sell them receives any, any kind of like a criminal sanction. Even even an assignment, the kitchen one where the, the attention of the world was like triggered. So the main punishment was still um, lets say a neighbor like firing someone dismissing somewhat not exactly. Do you happen to have criminal investigations . Um, so i dont think we should expect. Um and its really thats huge um into this. I think the pattern so far in this company has been that thats not the case, but i do think its important to remember that this uh, the imperative got the whole house phone is subject to the jurisdiction of being transferred to the court. And it is this court that it has to be in charge of investigating all of these occupations. Well, further north, or has been a massive bombardments in gaza. City of the witnesses captured the moment of impact if an is really, or a strike in a residential area. The Health Ministry says at least 48 people have been killed across calls in the past day. And that takes the total number of people killed. So just over 34000. And that includes more than 14500. 00 children. Sort of out assume is running us now from it off in the south of the gaza strip. Thought it tell us what youve been here. Youre hearing and seeing over the past few hours as well. Really daring, the situation is extremely distant. Distressing and disturbing guys have been receiving more information from eye witnesses on the ground that they use where the military has been rounding up. The military attacks on another part of guns, a stripe, as the intensification of the bombardment has taken place in the can you central neighborhoods have gone for 60, including a sofa neighbor who does. We have been seeing the video, a very large class taking place as, as a result of because, well, yet taught them that area where civilians were passing by that area without any private warning doesnt operate casualties that have to report that. But clearly not is that the only area that had been attacked when is the past couple of hours. We have been holding more attacks on the middle areas which have been the focus for this very minute for you. Within the past couple of weeks where 3 palestinians have been killed in a say rocks a refugee camp. And its also was mentioning that the is very minute treat, have targeted the residential house that is adjacent to the malaysian schools in the eastern parts of under. So ross refuge account was a part of their own Government Military operations. The bathrooms are still on getting a raging, but to me to most spices and the is rarely assumed use in and the engines, eastern pots of data about a has, according to guns, Health Ministry, dr. Within the past 24 hours, at least 48 palestinians have been reported killed as the, as the hospital racing and derek. But it has been stating that they are struggling to identify the victims of the targeting, due to the great level of his teaching that results from these various types and such areas in the middle of the territories and, and thought it where you are in jeff. I mean, there have been strikes and stuff as well. Are you getting the sense that there is an inc, there is increased the military activity in the south of the gaza strip. Now . Well, a generally the most of guns assumption nation big trucks here and roughly how facing a clearly moved threats growing by the is very military in the past couple of days. This specifically, that we have been witnessing move intensification of the military offense, be being made by the has been a military using a mandatory surveillance cope to drones and also surveillance of drones. Thats completely on moms in desperation, in gauze, while we have been hearing these positing since allens of this morning guys, they have been talking multiple locations in rough idea. Have talked to the house and the number of poplar bluff, our district closing a number of entries among palestinians where another a good culture elanda defense from area being directly attacked with new casualties that have been reported on one of the latest had talking to the residential house just a few meters away from our location, but unfortunately, the messiah did not explode with no casualties in that area being reported to now the busing and the military, whole range of these military drones are still ongoing on the ground, which could be a clue significant ation on the police significance police assigned that palestinians might being attacked in an area that is supposed to be as a safe zone, as we have been hearing from palestinians. That is what is intensifying, gets bombardments and the tax on rough. I could be a cli, introductory for potential military and cogent as they have been experiencing. In the con you in a city. When he gets ready militarys talk to 2 men to tally. Invite that very desperate populations area trying to get right now into a pile of rock. Oh, okay. Thank you thought about as boone, thank you for that update for me in a fucking garza. And we also understand that the is really war cabinet is currently meeting. We have Stephanie Decker was running us from tel aviv. So what are we hearing out of that meeting . Stephanie, of the last thing so far this is taking place in jerusalem. Usually they may here in tennessee, but the defense ministry. Its been cooled by any guns. A member of the work cabinet, also called the i as in court to discuss the hostages. And what is the way for this is something that hasnt been on the agenda of the work cabinet. They have intensively been meeting over the last week, but particularly to discuss that severe escalation with iran. So the men are very keen to put it back on the table, but against making comments at the connects it just in the last hour to reporters where he said is our duty even during times of holiday to keep making sure we try and get them home tomorrow is one of the biggest religious jewish holidays. Paul silver. Uh and you know, i run a key. It marks the idea of freedom, the freedom of the israelites from egypt. And this has been very symbolic here. You will. So how does israels president just a couple of days ago telling israel is rileys at your state or table, leave an empty seat reminding them of the plight of the hostages, and that 7 months later, they still havent returned home. We also had a video message from Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu just now saying that its how mass has been rejected to the potential deals, the proposals when it comes to trying to reach the hostages. Im not, they will be increasing pressure in his words, politically. And militarily, in the next couple of days, but well have to wait and see if anything. What comes out publicly of this meeting . Stephanie, as we were mentioning earlier, the us and is really media or both reporting is a bite and administration of such a sanction. A battalion of the is really military for committing Human Rights Violations in the occupied west bank. Now we know this would be the 1st time that the u. S. As in post sanctions on a unit of the is really army. What sort of reaction has been coming through from israel on this or i lost you there, but i think youre asking me about what the reaction is. Your outrage across the board, whatever political spectrum, militarily, politically, you are from you just simply do not criticize the army in israel. Everyone serves in the army and israel. It is the one unifying factor. So youve had in the Prime Minister, youve had the leader of the opposition that youve had the chief of stuff everyone saying that this simply is not right that at a time of war thats playing into the hands of the enemy didnt keep. And you mentioned yahoo actually giving fighting tools towards the american saying that if there is someone who believes that he is able to impose sanctions on a military unit in our army, i will fight him with all my might. It is, he is ready to not used to having its strongest ally highlight human rights abuses a to the palestinians carried out by its army. It happens a lot. This is a particular unit that even has been charged within the army of carrying out of Human Rights Violations, torture harassment over the past years of palestinians. But it is extremely rare. Searchingly that you have the American Government at this level saying that they will sanction a battalion saying that we dont want any of our arms. Any of our military 8 supports will be going to this battalion because of human rights abuses to the palestinians. All right, stephanie, thank you for that reporting from tel aviv will not speak to Michael Foreman who is the director of research of the n g o democracy for the error world. Hes in washington dc. Thanks for your time with us on out to 0. So as our correspondent was saying, i mean theres, theres really many years of evidence about that this particular unit which is dominated by right wing settlers who commit regular crimes against palestinians and the occupied westbank. So why is it that the us may sanction this unit . Now, and i think theres a few different reasons. The 1st is that its not just about the abuses, they commit by about the impunity that theyre given afterwards. And if they thought is to not come in and in and put in punitive steps in order to change the behavior of those units. Thats one way the laws um can i can, can apply sanctions on units of receive u. S. Military assistance. The other reason i think very much has to do with the overall political environment. You know, we, we just saw a few days ago. Im the imposition of new sanctions against my own side of ours, which is also completely unprecedented in the relationship between the United States and israel. And, and so, you know, i think we are starting to see the administration put out some, some letters that can become serious pressure if they use the more broadly. But for the time being that theyre sending these realize the message that they have to get their ducks in row, i mean, legally, what is the us is obligation when it comes to delay the law . Well, if the secretary of state receives credible information, the unit thats receiving us military funding or thats nominated to receive us military funding has been involved in committing great violations of human rights, which is a very, you know, small list of, of actions from rape and torture. An extradition extra traditional killing in a few others, but they can no longer be eligible to receive the assistance. So he can retrieve the waiver if he says that they have taken steps, turn to remedy of those positions. Right . So then wouldnt be, it wouldnt be us to then be obligated to sanction the whole military for what many human rights organizations are describing as them committing work. Crimes right now in the warren garza to politically speaking, i think this is a little bit of a lower step that theyre going for, you see calls in the senate and elsewhere to condition all of the military aid to israel on. Its a manager in human rights record, and this is the administrator, and i think sending a message to these realize that theyre, theyre not going to do nothing about that the years of complete impunity are over. But as you mentioned, you know, its a very, very small stuff and a lot of see if he says im with American Funding and then to come up. And what do you make of the fact that the determination of the imposition of these sanctions, if they do go through, its about this unit but, and its based on incidence prior to october, the 7th and fox generally speaking, these types of inquiries take some time. So thats not surprising what it, what it does is that it opens the door to sanctioning more units, including the ones that are, that are active in fighting and gaza. And by the way that you go to, has been involved in assigning and gaza. Um, you know, as, as a way to avoid sanctions, these really arent, we havent moved them out of the west bank for the 1st time and the units history last year and, and nowadays they put them into a gas or so its a little bit of a splitting in the face of, of the serious concern to the us have expressed over this unit already and that they put it back into, into combat and gaza. I think i might have something to do with the fact that the is really Prime Minister as well as in fact other politicians across israel, as our correspondent was just reporting the Prime Minister is expressing outrage of the saying that his governments will act by all means against these moves, what do you think the, the is really officials can do practically if the sanctions were to go ahead that they can even just thinking either openly defy them and risk the entire military support or they can comply. Mean that theres not a whole lot of wiggle room here. The thing is, be the id states gives israel, its military assistance as a lump sum. And as the general support usually. So its only is reality is and they have committed to this and a member amended on memorandum of understanding that was signed a little bit of a 3 year ago to, to, to do this filtering themselves if they are ever told to stop sending us funds and equipment to a specific unit that its on israel is actually of the condition of the military to support they receive from the us to billions and billions of dollars that they, they segregate and remove from the funding and equipment flow and a unit step United States as our 2nd. Okay. Michael merman, thank you for speaking to us in washington dc. Thank you. A general strike has been declared across the occupied west bank after a 3 day is really raids of to cut him killed 14 policy indians need that, but i am reports from there in the north. Some sort of fluids recap, has turned into one large workshops with 1st responders are trying to take care of some of the damage that has been incurred during the 3 days to that are few decals as you can see here. Every thing has been affected when we talk about the electricity, the water, the rows that have been completely destroyed. But they know that the repairs will take months if not more, to be fixed. So this is a different situation than any other res, seem inside the cab, theyll use who is ready for destroying the infrastructure. But the scale of this damage was something theyve never seen before. When life is coming to somebody, even during the 1960 a 2nd, the roads never looked like this. They want to take us decades back into the club. So they could seem to call the police. This is pure event. It is our enemy and has been damaged in our lives since 1948. Im not 54 years old, and ive only been seen the ugliness and torture of these rarely occupation. Since i was a child, we were asleep.
