in tension on the gaza israeli border following an explosion that injured four israeli soldiers in the area israel launched a series of ground in air strikes on a number of sites in the southern gaza strip its military blames hamas for saturday's explosion several palestinians were injured in the israeli raids israel says the dead palestinians were shot trying to cross the border. today's incident on the gaza strip border was severe we respond appropriately or so my wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded. then it's worth is in west jerusalem any more developments bernard since the discovery of the two bodies or jim we from the gaza side it's believed that these two young men were civilians they weren't seems affiliated to any of the fighting groups in gaza because if they would have been then one of those groups would have claimed these men as their own by now and they haven't done so it looks like they were civilians what does happen sometimes is because of the desperate employment circumstances or lack of employment in gaza sometimes young man try and cross the border fence into

triggering a deadly response from israeli fighter jets syria says its allies drone was near the israeli border on a standard intelligence mission but israel disagrees it has released this unverified video which it says shows the drone in israeli airspace next they say it followed the drone across the syrian border and shot it down and then launched fighter jets like these to strike the drones base inside syria that triggered a syrian response the regime unleashed its anti-aircraft guns on the israeli fighter planes and it brought down an f. sixteen jet which crashed dramatically into northern israeli countryside the israeli air force says its pilot was seriously wounded after making an emergency exit. israel then responded with another large scale bombing raid it hit syrian government positions near damascus just days ago israel declared itself ready for a standoff like this on tuesday israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu stood at the northern border in israeli occupied golan heights and delivered a warning. we seek peace but are prepared for any scenario and i wouldn't suggest any

israel proper we don't know yet whether for surveillance or attack and it was shot down by an israeli armed apache helicopter now following that particular incident the israeli air force has retaliated against the launcher of this particular drone. hitting the. command and control of vehicle and perhaps the launcher itself and during this attack one of the israeli f. sixteen s was idea of heat by syrian ground defenses or the pilots got the impression that they are about to be hit and bailed out israel has again retaliated hitting the at twelve targets several of them being iranian and several syrian this is the most serious incident. between israel and syria and definitely between israel and iran in many years perhaps in ten or fifteen years we have not seen the like a feat meanwhile lebanon has a complaint to the u.n. a key thing is relevant violating its sovereignty after televisa the country's aspace to carry out the attack on syria next blumenthal fancy me at it's at the real needs dot com so the escalation with lebanon didn't without any cause last time and this time it could be

all the problems that exist between the palestinian and israeli sides during late to the west bank so in a sense. does not heavily appear in the picture in terms of actually reaching an agreement between the palestinian and the israeli side nevertheless for us the palestinians very important to be included in any final arrangements and of course the. integrity of the palestinian territory the unity between gaza and the west bank is something that's very important not only emotionally and then actually but also economically and in terms of the viability of the palestinian state to be independent now the founding arrah five generation of leadership based slowly you in a way to new politicians who shelby mahmoud abbas's successor i mean. when mr abbas chooses to retire well first first of all let me praise the leadership the historically the ship of the palestinian people generally headed by by. and other leaders including mahmoud abbas as well. in terms of who is the success of this is something that will be decided by the palestinian people maybe through the palestinian in institutions

the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is saying that he will continue to lead the country despite the police recommending that he be indicted for corruption and bribery now it's alleged that netanyahu and his wife received illicit gifts worth tens of billions of dollars from billionaire benefactors including a major hollywood producer that is following this developing story and joins us now live from west jerusalem we see a very defiant reaction from prime minister benjamin netanyahu he is adamant that the recommendations the police recommendations against him will end with nothing he says. that's right i think and i'm sort of us but we should start with just one quick corrective it's not tens of billions of dollars that would be an enormously huge corruption case it's more like tens of thousands of dollars perhaps more than one hundred thousands of one hundred thousand dollars in the form of gifts of cigars and champagne this is in case one thousand a case which according to the leaks that came from the investigation jury in its course they suggested that sorry netanyahu and benj

deaths of added to the tension on the gaza israeli border following an explosion that injured four israeli soldiers on saturday israel blames hamas for the attack and carried out a series of ground and air strikes on eighteen hamas targets in southern gaza several palestinians were hurt in those attacks but it's not known if the teenagers shot dead on sunday or involved in the attack on israeli soldiers are a force that has more from the funerals in rafah. over here for the funerals of two young palestinian men two seventeen year olds one is selim. the other a dealer i will shaker and hundreds of people have turned out to commemorate their lives there was shot by israeli fire at the border between gaza and israel last night israel says it targeted a group of people who were trying to breach the border fence of course it came during the course of some of the largest scale attacks by israel on gaza in several years it is just the context notable that many young palestinians have been trying to cross the border into israeli territory looking for work there been tens of arrests in recent years

end to israeli occupancy. we will continue to oppose any attempt cover regardless by who come to impose solutions that contradict. we have been granted the status observers --r nonmember observer state. we have become a state party to 105 international treaties and organizations. we have been recognized by 138. member states of the council that have not yet recognized the state. it is not a substitute for negotiation. againstion does not go negotiation. it promotes negotiation. i called upon members who have yet to recognize the state of palestine. in the future, we will intensify our efforts for full membership into the united nations. to get into national protection, -- ill come the situation is the longer bearable. the year for it independent homeland, just like all other people of the world. the urine for their state to take its rightful place in the community. .3 million palestinians you say that is not true, but we are. we are 13 million palestinians, whether we live in five palestine or other foreign co

as israeli army says end to israeli aspace it was intercepted and response to that the israeli army carried out an air raid deep inside syria and you know palmira where the. drone was launched now in response to that the syrian air defense. hit a printer an f. sixteen jet which came down and is there any territory the pilots managed to eject themselves here they're now currently treated in a hospital in the north of israel so what's significant in this is that the response by the syrian depends was much larger than it used to be because it has carried out as strikes in syria over the past years doing during the war there and also that it hit the f. sixteen fighter jet so this is a very serious escalation and the noise. and israel's entry is saying it's going to react what are you hearing. well we also got another statement because the air sirens went off in the north in the past hours because israeli army said they have carried out a large scale attack in response to the downing of the to what happened in the morning and they targeted according to that statement twelve targets and according

the now in an israeli hospital and in response to that again apparently then the israeli army launched a large scale attack again in syrian territory as they said in the statement to confirm that and saying they targeted twelve. areas in syria with this attack. what has israel's involvement in syria been since the war broke out there. well i mean there has always been so-called spillover from the war in syria. the occupied golan heights but of course it was always there we stay we don't get involved in the war but they have put their red lines and they have. carried out everett's when it comes to weapon transfers of his area so that it's well known but again this is now the response that we've been seeing in the past couple weeks to such evidence now this time because it's defend that according to the army at this drone and to israel first so i think it's good to see it seem to have settled down a bit right now but of course we don't know whether there will be any more military action following on that it doesn't seem to be reading. any further but again we have to wait and see what th

both pilots ejected and parachuted to the israeli side of the border one is critically injured the israeli army spokesman said it were it was behind the launch of the drawing but didn't say whether it was armed or not the iranians have reacted they've said that they are going to stand with syria against any felician us by israel the russians have also reacted saying that israel needs to respect syrian state to state sovereignty also what we're hearing is that the israelis want to send a strong message to the russians to get iran out of the region iran can al-jazeera western islam all this is not the first time israel has hit targets inside syria iran has sent military advisers in allegedly thousands of its revolutionary guards to help the syrian government and that build up of iranian assets has been increasingly worrying for israel and harder explains why this is the golan heights territory israel captured from syria in one nine hundred sixty seven the war in syria has brought iran and its allies like the lebanese armed group hezbollah closer to that border israel. says that is something

an israeli fighter jet is shot down by syrian anti-aircraft fire as israel attacks what it says are iranian targets. you know i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up clears and then picks or continues with an invitation to the south korean leader to visit pyongyang. a warm welcome for india's prime minister on the historic visit to the palestinian territories. and brazil and colombia tight border controls with venezuela why economic crisis has led hundreds of thousands. or we begin with one of the biggest confrontations between israel and iran in years involving the shooting down of an israeli f. sixteen fighter jet the jet crashed after coming under fire during a mission inside syria but landed in israeli territory it all started when israel says it supported a drone flying in its aspace and then intercepted it israel says the drone originated from syria and it launched major air raids in syrian territory in response to this targeting syrian and iranian bases syria then responds with a. fire which brought down the f. sixteen jets israel launched a second wave

but in the last few months some israelis have gone out to protest. it's now up to the attorney general to decide whether to follow the recommendations of the police. netanyahu himself has denied all accusations and called the investigations a witch hunt against him and his family. for more i'm joined now by middle east correspondent tanya kramer who is joining us live from israel this evening so tanya netanyahu has responded apparently defiantly to these allegations tell us more. well this has been certainly a major news development here in israel i mean for months now has been this cloud hanging over the prime minister for these many months of investigation now it's official and israelis will be able to find out the details of the investigation now the police has found enough evidence as it appears to recommend a possible indictment in private and also preach of trust in both cases case one thousand and case two thousand and prime minister netanyahu has always said and that has been his munch all the long day will be nothing because days nothing he

palestinian conflict both sides have suffered greatly so many innocent israels israelis have been killed or injured by suicide bombings stabbings and other sickening terrorist attacks israel has been forced to live under constant security threats like virtually no other country in the world it should not have to live that way and yet israel has overcome those burdens it is a thriving country with a vibrant economy that contributes much to the world in the name of technology science and the arts it is it is the palestinian people who are suffering more the palestinians in gaza live under hamas terrorist oppression i can't even call it a governing authority as hamas provides so little in the way of what one would normally think as government services the people of gaza live in truly awful conditions while their hamas rulers put their resources into building terror tunnels and rockets the palestinians in the west bank also suffer greatly too many have died and too much potential has been lost in this conflict we're joined here today by the palestinian authority president abbas i'm sorry he

how the events played out israeli media says and israeli and rainy and rather drone was launched from a syrian base in the homesteads it shot down near its border shortly after that an israeli f. sixteen crashed in northern israel the jets had been targeting the military base in homs the israeli army says it encountered anti aircraft fire syria says it shot down the jets in response to an israeli act of aggression both pilots ejected and parachuted into northern israel one was severely injured in a few moments in a hold that will join us live from beirut but first let's cross over to west jerusalem that's where there isn't so emraan first of all this some conflicting signals so clear things up for us from the israeli perspective is this episode over or not. these ready army have confirmed to us within the last ten minutes of the operation is still ongoing that they are targeting iranians hogs within syria and syrian add defense units we're also hearing the one of those targets will have been the command and control center for the iranian drawing that was shot down so this is an on goi

well let me just bring you up to date with the latest fuss i've spoken to the israeli army in the last five minutes i also very bluntly whether the operation was still continuing and what targets they hit in syria overnight they declined to comment on both of those questions but what we're hearing from retired israeli generals or briefing local media is that this is the biggest operation launched against syrian air defenses units since one thousand nine hundred eighty two so clearly a very significant operation that's going on that the israeli army declined to comment on what we're expecting to see out all the west them in the next few hours two very crucial meetings the first one will be a cabinet meeting and this is a regular schedule cabinet meeting but clearly the focus will be on vents in syria and what to do next now we also heard from media sources close to prime minister benjamin netanyahu who told his cabinet not to talk about this publicly so it's unlikely that we're going to see any kind of announcement but perhaps more crucially we might see an announcement from the securit

doubt its willingness to to not only to negotiate but to actually reach an agreement something that the israelis have never done and in terms of the talks and of deeds as well let's remember that there's a government went on on a campaign of settler colonialism causing all kinds of problems which which actually negate any possibilities for reaching a peace agreement so again the statement is not is not and we think it's the israeli side to take the blame but also i mean can you discard it has made it mediation completely not just israel but many arab states in the region would do what the u.s. tells them. this isn't we we don't we don't pick and choose who should be in the international making is after all it's their responsibility is over those parties themselves to decide and to coordinate and to come to come together. within a framework of such such mechanism we. war against the united states of america we said that what the americans themselves have said done to have done this qualify them from playing the role of the co-sponsor of the peace process and that's why we need the international c

a burning israeli f. sixteen shot down by the syrian air force both pilots ejected one was seriously wounded. israel says the jet attacked iranian targets in syria after an iranian drone entered israeli airspace. prime minister benjamin netanyahu insists israel seeks peace but will defend itself against any attack or it's him by iran to establish itself in syria. iran seeks to use syrian territory to attack israel for its professed goal of destroying the us this morning iran brazenly violated israel sovereignty israel holds iran and its syrian post responsible for today's aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security. allies of syria and enemies of israel celebrated the downing of the warplanes. fighters from the pro iranian hezbollah group gathered on the border between lebanon and israel as israeli soldiers looked on. the iranian president hassan rouhani condemned the israeli action in syria. yet if one country thinks it can get desirable results by

well it was all key part in one hundred eighty one by the israelis the syrians and the israelis have no peace talks no negotiations on like the egypt and israel side of the sinai it's still occupied territory these really say that it's very squarely there is because of the war in syria it's become tactically very important for the israelis israelis are very worried that any kind of war may have spill over into the territories they backed it up completely the syrians of also put in their own defense systems there's been strong fighting going on this fighting going on in fact for a number of years along that border so yes it's incredibly important for both countries and both countries claim sovereignty over it already one calm there live for us from west jerusalem let's talk now to say no to she joins us live on the phone from beirut say no israeli air strikes inside syria arms on usual but how could this latest incident escalate tensions in the area between the syrians on the one side and israelis on the other. and utterly barren this is a dramatic development like you mentioned israe
