The drc launches its first Vaccination Campaign to fight the virus. Youre with Bbc News. Iam i am lyse doucet, reporting live from israel. The day when hamas fighters went across the territory. In the end 1200 people were killed and 150 taken hostage. We are at the entrance to what had been the day before, a novell Music Festival where a night of celebration turned into a slaughter at dawn. More than 1100 slaughter at dawn. More than 400 people, mostly young israelis, but people who had come to this Music Festival from Around The World where murdered. When hamas went through these trees, kidnapping and killing. At a time when the war is escalating, before we do, let us look at the latest developments in the last 24 hours beginning in lebanon where there was more israeli bombardment overnight. A night described as the most violent yet. Israel carrying out more than 30 Air Strikes, most of them in this other neighbourhoods of beirut where hezbollah does have a strong presence but these are densely populated areas. The lebanese government says at least 25 people were killed and 20 were injured. People fled in a panic injured. People fled in a panic in the middle of the night. There were also rockets, Rocket Fire from hezbollah. Firing 30 rockets into northern israel, many hitting a town closest to the lebanon border. A town which like all of the towns and villages close to that border were evacuated a year ago, more than 60,000 people. Today there are reports of the war continuing in gaza. 0vernight there were more attacks on gaza, including central gaza. Palestinian sources are saying there has been a mask which was being used for showalter was attacked. Mosque. 0vernight, israel continued to hammer lebanon. Israeli military says it was targeting Hezbollah Mapping stores, but no confirmation what was hit. Locals described it as the worst night of the war so far. And in northern israel, the Countrys Missile Defence system in action as hezbollah fired back. Meanwhile, in gaza, almost forgotten amid the sheer pace of events elsewhere, israel bombed another school. It was Housing Displaced People in the centre of the strip, where it said hamas had set up a command centre. A nearby mosque was also attacked, at least 26 people were killed in the two strikes according to the Health Ministry there. At the local hospital, is a grandmother. Translation please, | god, defeat netanyahu. Please, God Defeat israel. I hope God Defeat you, america. You have made us cry over our children, grandchildren and loved ones. My heart is breaking, my heart is breaking. Israel says hamas was operating inside the mosque. And injerusalem, they have again been mass protests from the families and supporters of hostages still being held in gaza by hamas and fury at the government here. Wake up listen to The Public and what The Public is demanding. It is very difficult with hamas, but this is what we have to do. A year ago, israelis were united in their revulsion over what hamas had done, but 12 months and with scores of hostages still being held, The Public, its politicians and the military, they are all divided over strategy in gaza. Over a year ago, israel had much of the world sympathy, but with over 40,000 dead in gaza, a lot of of that sympathy has gone. As israelis prepared to mark october the 7th, the country is now fighting wars on multiple fronts. Very sad anniversary, a one Year Mark for israelis. You can feel it here. Thats why you might hear behind me the diggers, they are digging up the ground in front, this is the ground in front, this is the main entrance to the Music Festival where more than 400 young israelis and foreigners who had come from Around The World to this Music Festival were slaughtered. It is a day that israelis say to a person that israelis say to a person that changed as forever. Joining me now is former israeli negotiator yossi beilin. A man who negotiated with the palestinians and other arab states after the Oslo Peace Accords which allowed israelis and palestinians and arabs to hope on the prospects of peace.

Since when we hear your name, we attach peace name, we attach peace negotiator, do you believe that peaceis negotiator, do you believe that peace is possible . For negotiator, do you believe that peace is possible . Peace is possible . For me the issue of Peace Peace is possible . For me the issue of peace is peace is possible . For me the issue of peace is not peace is possible . For me the issue of peace is notjust peace is possible . For me the issue of peace is notjust a issue of peace is notjust a utopia or a better life and believing in the Human Beings and hoping for something better. This is the essence of life. If we do not have peace with the palestinians, israel is doomed. Because then it will be a one State Situation in which dues will be a minority. In such a situation, zionist, jewish, democratic liberal state cannot exist. That is why people like myself will fight. Whether one day we are more optimistic and in another day we are less optimistic about the feasibility of peace, this is true. This is the situation. But we will not give out that we will try to see in every situation, an opening that might help us to go for peace. We werejust in might help us to go for peace. We were just in the qubits where 400 people once lived we were just in the qubits where 400 people once lived there. Many of them also called there. Many of them also called them Self Peace activists and them Self Peace activists and yet that community suffered yet that community suffered terribly. Bring us back to a terribly. Bring us back to a year ago, when these Reports Year ago, when these reports emerged of what was happening emerged of what was happening across Southern israel. Across Southern israel. What was your impression then . Well, we are a nation, was your impression then . Well, we are a nation, with was your impression then . Well, we are a nation, with big, was your impression then . Well, we are a nation, with big, big we are a nation, with big, Big Sadness and mourning. We are all morning, it is an ongoing sheva, thejewish form of morning. We are morning as we were a year ago. It is difficult to understand what it was because it was a very, very unexpected. 0ne was because it was a very, very unexpected. One can say, yes, but it was a situation, the tension is always there. The but it was a situation, the tension is always ti find. E but it was a situation, the tension is always ti find. You arabs. And you can find. You can find on all sides, they are very muchjust about can find on all sides, they are very much just about their own feelings. You cannot dismiss any side. At the bottom line is that we are not in peace, we know the solutions for peace with the palestinians and lebanese. We have it in a Written Manner In Un resolutions and we can go for it. If you have people on both sides who are ready for it. What you are having on the last year is that both hamas and hezbollah, where the main. I would say impediments for peace. They took the Nations Hostage and on the israeli side, you have a very rightist government with people who dont want to have an agreement, you dont want to have a two state solution, who have a two state solution, who have dreams about a Greater Israel and whatever. So the situation has been Anti Peace were too long. Now the question is whether this ongoing crisis is whether this ongoing crisis is also an opening for a new chapter. I am is also an opening for a new chapter. Iam not is also an opening for a new chapter. I am not sure about it but i dont dismiss this to support for it this opportunity because the spoilers will become weaker. In such a situation, the Silent Majority is may raise and say, enough is enough, we would like to vote for something serious with the other side rather than killing each other. Other side rather than killing each other. ,. ,. ,, each other. How do you assess The Public each other. How do you assess The Public mood each other. How do you assess The Public mood now. Each other. How do you assess The Public mood now. In each other. How do you assess The Public mood now. In the i The Public mood now. In the first month after october the 7th, Opinion Polls showed broad support for the israeli defense forces and the war in gaza, the war aim to destroy hamas and bring the hostages home. Public Opinion Poll say the israeli public also backs the war in lebanon to destroy the lebanese hezbollah, how do you read their public mood . I hezbollah, how do you read their public mood . Their public mood . I think there is a their public mood . I think there is a lot their public mood . I think there is a lot of their public mood . I think there is a lot of anger their public mood . I think there is a lot of Anger And Wish to take Revenge And Feeling that the justice is only on our side and there is no explanations for the other side. Which i understand. I mean, we cannot provoke hamas and we also did not provoke his brother which decided to identify with hamas and to fight against as, against civilians. Hezbollah. It is a very strange situation in the same goes for iran. So the situation is very difficult which doesnt mean that if there is another government in israel, which goes for a deal, not only a ceasefire that a much profound agreement, peace agreement, then that there will be no support for it. And you know, lyse, you have been here and you know before, there was and you know before, there was a huge entirety against giving up a huge entirety against giving up their peninsula. People therefore, the agreement that i launch, the oslo agreement, were totally against anything. 0nce were totally against anything. Once we did it, there was a majority for it. So i dont believe that the current understandable attitude, on both sides of hatred to the other side, both sides of hatred to the otherside, disbelief, mistrust that the other side is ready for peace and whatever, that this will prevent peace when the leadership is going. It was good to hear your reflections, especially now at what has been described as one of the most darkest and dangerous moments in the region. Thank you very much for making time to be with as today. The former peace negotiator. 0n today. The former peace negotiator. On a day when peace seems a long way away.
