That what they want to do is to destroy hamas infrastructure and to destroy hamas leadership. Theres a whole network of tunnels. It has places where it can operate from underneath the ground. In the israelis wont know, so its going to be quite an effort to destroy. One of the reasons theyve been carrying off these air strikes part of that network, part of the command and control was Underneath Hospitals or was embedded in hospitals. He specifically mentioned in the she for hospital, brought forward what he said was evidence. That hamas was basically operating out of those hospitals shifa. That is something that has triggered alarm amongst human rights groups. The Human Rights Watch issued a statement saying it is against the laws of war if you hamas is using hospitals to conduct military operations. Under the laws of war, hospitals have special protections unless th ....
Welcome to the programme, continuing coverage of the escalation of events announced by israel. A spokesperson for the idf the Israeli Defence force is confirming that there will be an increase in air strikes and attacks from the air and an increase and expansion of ground force operations tonight. Mobile phone services and internet in gaza have been cut off. Combined with little power to begin with. Showing you these Live Pictures, which are pretty dark, as i spoke, the power, electricity is low, so the buildings are not to let out. However, every few minutes or so, the sky is lit up by explosions, as you just saw that they are followed often by a cracking sound, that orange flash. We have been witnessing to me just pausing there for the sound, we been witnessing this over the last few hours now since just before the idf made that announcement confirming their operational cha ....
conversation going on at mission control at the moment, and then the flight director will obviously make the final decision, and they will come to a final decision. they may reset the clock and they might reset it back ten minutes. they have, as a reminder, 20 minutes to get off today, and the federal aviation administration have told them they have a 20 minute window, so we can go have a 20 minute window, so we can 9° up have a 20 minute window, so we can go up to 20 minutes past the hour to get this beast off the ground, so they don t have to rush. everything up they don t have to rush. everything up to this point looked really good and there were no pauses earlier in the day and all of the propellant and methane and liquid oxygen went in as they should have done and the vehicle itself looks as it should look. maybe there is some reading on some sensor that they want to double check and we will see. the pressurisation check and we will see. the pressurisation issue - che ....
staff, large numbers of displaced people are sheltering in the hospital. dr nick maynard has worked at al shifa hospital for many years. he s trained medics in gaza and was carrying out surgeries at al shifa as recently as may. he says patients who leave the hospital are unlikely to survive and described how people at the hospital said the idf were treating people there. well, they certainly do not describe the israeli defence force assisting the evacuations. i ve been watching al jazeera this morning. i ve also been in direct contact with a gazan doctor who herself is in contact with people there and they are working under the most appallingly hostile conditions, the patients that are being evacuated. it s almost inconceivable to me that they will survive. this notion that they re going to be evacuated to a safe area is a ludicrous notion. if you ask me, the roads are almost impassable. there are no functioning hospitals in gaza at the moment. the only hospital that was func ....
as a shelter for displaced people. the hamas run health ministry says at least 50 people were killed. it says at least 80 people were killed in the two blasts. the second blast the health ministry said 32 people from one family, including 19 children, were killed. we of course cannot confirm those figures, but we will shortly put those claims to a spokesman from the israeli defence forces. hundreds of people have been leaving gaza city s al shifa hospital on foot, with doctors saying israeli forces had issued by loudspeaker an order to evacuate. the israeli military has denied this. it said it had agreed to expand and assist an evacuation, following a request by the hospital s director. we ve just had these pictures in from central gaza. newsagency afp says they show palestinians evacuated from al shifa hospital, heading south. you will see there in the background there tanks. we don t know how far this was recorded from the hospital. the israeli military says her hamas ....
