For the latest, we are joined 214 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: by Bloomberg Israel Economy and Government reporter Galite Alstein in 215 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: Tel Aviv, Ghalid, Good morning. First, could you update us 216 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: on all that's been happening on the ground since the weekend? 217 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 16: Yes, High Nathan, as I can so. As you mentioned, 218 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 16: the Israeli army is now encircling Gaza City and has 219 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 16: also cut the entire northern part of the Gaza Strip 220 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 16: from the southern part. Idea of spokesperson Daniel Hagari tells 221 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 16: us last night that essentially there is a northern Gaza 222 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 16: and a southern Gaza at this time. Last night, the 223 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 16: Israeli Army carried out a massive attack on Hama's infrastructure 224 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 16: that's below and above the ground, and the Ideas referred 225 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 16: to this as a significant operation during which internet and 226 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 16: telecom services have been disrupted in Gaza for the third 227 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 16: time since the fighting began. Israeli Army reports that they 228 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 16: have struck four hundred and fifty targets from the air 229 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 16: over the past day. Overnight, they have taken control of 230 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 16: the Hamas military compound. They also say that Jamal Mussa, 231 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 16: who was responsible for the special security operations of Hamas, 232 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 16: was struck and killed by Israeli fighter jets, and Hamas 233 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 16: battalion commanders were also killed in battles, and this was 234 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 16: on the ground. 235 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 3: With these kinds of advances that are being reported by 236 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: the Israeli military, there becomes the question about whether this 237 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 3: war can head into a new phase, perhaps a more 238 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: tactical phase. Is that the kind of thinking that's being 239 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: bandied about now in leadership circles in Israel right now. 240 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 16: Yeah, so we're not being told everything on the on 241 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 16: the ground maneuvers. So what we can say though, is 242 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 16: that right now the Israeli army is definitely concentrating on 243 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 16: a more precise operation in Gaza city. There right now, 244 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 16: I'm basically encircling the very center of the some city 245 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 16: and they're tackling what is over there, like I said above, 246 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 16: and beneath the ground. There's also very complex array of 247 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 16: tunnels that is underneath some Gaza city, and that is 248 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 16: a very hard operation to tackle these tunnels, to find 249 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 16: the piers, to block them, or to even go inside. 250 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 16: So that's I think the big challenge for the ground 251 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 16: forces at this time. 252 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: And along with the reports that Hamas leadership has been killed, 253 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 3: we are also hearing continuing reports of a mounting civilian 254 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 3: toll as well, and growing concern here in the United 255 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: States from the White House and Democratic lawmakers about that 256 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 3: what impact, if any, is that having on Israel's thinking. 257 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 16: So, you know, we were seeing first of all, I 258 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 16: think we should mention that the Palestinian death is now 259 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 16: said to be almost ten thousand, nine hundred, seven hundred 260 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 16: and seventy people that were killed in Gaza. And this 261 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 16: morning the idea of announce that it will once again 262 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 16: allow safe passage on one of the main roads in 263 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 16: Gaza for four straight hours and calling residents in North 264 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 16: Gaza to move south for their safety on the humanitarian aid. 265 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 16: So we have seen that grow slightly larger than over 266 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 16: the past town a few weeks. Yesterday seventy trucks that 267 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 16: were carrying international humanitarian aid were transferred to Gaza via 268 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 16: the Rafa crossing. We've also heard Jordan's King Abdallah the 269 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 16: second Stay that his nation air dropped urgent medical aid 270 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 16: to a Jordanian field hospital in Gaza City. So Israel 271 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 16: is allowing more and more humanitarian truck truck some trucks 272 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 16: carrying humanitarian aid to come into Gaza. Still no fuel 273 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 16: is allowed to go into the strip. Also, the Rafa 274 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 16: crossing has been shut down against after after it was 275 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 16: open for several days late last week for foreigners and 276 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 16: dual nationals or injured Palestinians to leave Gaza for the 277 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 16: first time since some fighting started. So now this crossing 278 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 16: is closed again for people. So the trucks are coming 279 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 16: in from for Egypt, but the people I'm not allowed 280 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 16: to leave Gaza. This is after the Israeli military claim 281 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 16: responsibility for Deadley attack on an ambulance near a hospital, 282 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 16: although Israel said it was carrying Hamas fighters and in 283 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 16: any case, this has brought Hamas to stop enabling people 284 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 16: to leave Gaza through the Rougher crossing. 285 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 286 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 287 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 288 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 289 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,359 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 290 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 291 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 292 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 293 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: Bloomberg one O six one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine 294 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: sixty in San Francisco. 295 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 296 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
