No negotiations following reports of a prisoner swap. Welcome. Israeli say the death toll has passed the 900 mark after 100 more bodies were found in a form. The Prime Minister spoke earlier this evening to the country and said Palestinian Militants are still inside israel and the airstrikes are the beginning of a larger operation. He said the attacks would change the middle east. Israel has ordered a complete blockade of the gazas and has mobilized 300,000 reserves. Tanks gather in fields. After the terrorist attacks, hundreds of thousands of reservists answer the call. There will be no electricity, food or water. We are fighting against human animals and we are acting accordingly. Hospitals are already feeling the effects of the blockade, running out of critical supplies. Unfortunately, the amount of supplies is insufficient and some medicines are not available , there is also the threat of running out of fuel. Israel says it is targeting facilities and had orders that hundreds of civilians are being hit by missiles. I was in my house with my children, i was sleeping and in the morning came the missiles. We were hit and the children were fleeing. Some people were injured. We fled. Israel says the borders will stay closed while soldiers scour for fighters. Rocket fire continues. So goes the aerial bombardment. Fearing further infiltration, israel is deploying send tanks. Shelling the area as they try and push back the threat. Hezbollah has been responding. Israel faces the prospect of a multifront war and the rest of the world can only watch and hope it does not happen. Is journalists joins me from jerusalem. You were close. Did you see . I was in the town that has become a ghost town and i see people leaving homes even though the military has not announced the evacuation, only the settlement, smaller farming communities along the border should evacuate and they said the residents should remain but the people are in a very difficult situation, there has been a lack of electricity and water, people are escaping the area, rockets are landing and there is a feeling of the lack of a faith in the government. Hamas has now said it would be open to negotiating a truce. Has there been any response from israel . Clearly hamas is interested in a truce because israel is accelerating the campaign in the gaza strip, the last thing israel is talking about is a truce. They are talking about escalating and hamas is saying they would only negotiate the release of prisoners if there is a truce. We dont see this happening right now. They have another talks, i could tell you the egyptians and qataris are trying to reach an agreement, one of the ideas floating around is hamas would release women and children and israel would release palestinian women, but this is not happening. Netanyahu just said the response is just the beginning. However we to understand that . This is what the military is talking about, all of the experts are talking about that israel would have a Ground Invasion into the gaza strip, there is an agreement this is going to happen and there is going to be a fierce campaign against hamas. They know there will be a heavy price and israel soldiers will die but this is the state of mind and i can tell you the fear is that this will escalate to lebanon and this is something people do not want but if there is a further escalation, we dont know if hezbollah would want to join forces. We appreciate your reporting from jerusalem, thank you. As we heard, there are growing fears on the fate of people who were kidnapped by gaza militants. Many hostages were taken in an outdoor music festival. Scenes of terror. Hamas terrorist opened fire and chased people down, taking hostages. They were all around me. They were shooting. Everywhere. From two side were dying all around. This video shows a terrified young woman driven away on a motorbike while her partner marched away. His hands tied behind his back. The aftermath, hundreds of dead bodies, charge vehicles along the road. A few were lucky. This footage shows a hostage rescue after a fierce gun battle. Foreign nationals were also taken, one hostages mother made an ill from germany. I recognized my daughter unconscious in a car. Im asking for any news to be sent to us. Diplomatic efforts are underway to evacuate women, children and elderly hostages. For now, relatives can only watch and wait. Earlier i spoke with a person from tel aviv. His daughter and best friend went missing saturday, i asked what he knows about what happened. The last time we heard from her, they were at a piece festival and we heard from her, she was frightened, crying and heard gunshots. She was saying they were hiding in a shelter and i was sure it would finish quickly and i told her to stay calm and she did not have the batteries so she hung up and that was the last time we heard something from her. Have you been able to reach her . You been able to call her back . She had more battery. She helped her in the ambulance. That was the last time someone talks to her. After that, nobody could tell us. Which could be a good sign if she was at the ambulance where the Emergency Services were. Have the authorities been able to tell you anything about her whereabouts since this moment . The issue is is they dont know anything. Nobody has any information to give us, so i dont really know what happened. I am trying to collect some stories, but we are in the dark about what happened in the ambulance. My daughter is a paramedic. She went to help. She was helping and assisting. Here we are talking about war, the military. These are huge geopolitical stories. I am to you as a father who just wants to see his daughter again. How do you put these events in order in your mind right now . For the people watching this, how do you explain how you are feeling . Its very clear for me. The conflict is there. This is way beyond. Innocent people, civilians. Nobody can understand, everyone should worry. This is a real threat to the democratic world. The political thing is not the issue. Before we let you go, if your daughter sees this, what would you want the message to be . You should be strong, i love you. Everyone loves you. Back everyone loves you. We want to see you. Youre not supposed to be a war prisoner. I am sure there are a lot of people wishing you all of the best tonight. Thank you for sharing your story with us. So much humanity. We are going to the german chancellor. I am sure you heard the interview. What was your reaction . This is been a surprised to most of us. No food, no fuel. There are two sides. As we know, throughout the years if there is one thing the security of israel is guaranteed. I want to ask you, news broke that the European Union was planning to suspend aid to the palestinian authority. What do you make of suspending the payments . Its very important we dont finance everything that is misused for supporting terrorist attacks. Obviously, there is no support for the administration or hamas, so we have to look into that very carefully so it does not happen. On the other hand, humanitarian aid has been given for good reason. We need to make sure no money can be abused to support terror or antisemitism. Can you say, germany has Development Aid that goes to the palestinian territories. Can you say none of that money is ever funneled into the hands of hamas and is used for terror purposes . As far as i know, that is not happen but we have to look into that. I think there is a good system, in the moment i think its very important to take a close look on all of that that there has not been abusive that, there has not been abusive corruption that might have led to a use of money for this purpose. Humanitarian aid is always important and necessary. We have to make sure and we will definitely look into that. I think the german system of finance control is fairly effective. We appreciate your time, thank you. More now on a reversal to suspend aid, and immediate explanation was given, we spoke with our correspondent and i asked if he could give us some details about this reversal. There was confusion after the commission sent out a message where he said all aid would be stopped, everybody was surprised because tomorrow the Foreign Ministers will talk about how to react and how to react with financial means. He jumped the gun a little bit. So far, the money will be checked and there might be new project struck next year to make clear that humanitarian aid, schooling in gaza is not we want to be clear about this money. That money is for humanitarian purposes only, how does the European Union ensure that money earmarked is spent on humanitarian purposes and not for terror . Keep in mind there are no direct contact between hamas and the European Union. The European Union funnels the money through International Organizations and the u. N. They have to disburse the money and the main actor here is a Relief Organization for Palestinian Refugees which has been working since 1950. There are 13,000 members in the gaza strip financed by the eu, the united states, they run schools and hospitals and they say they dont pay anything to hamas but in an entity like the gaza strip, its very difficult because there is no rule of law, there are audits so they try to keep track of the money and the other is Development Aid. This money is earmarked for development or infrastructure, sewage plants. This is the money that might be held back. Hours correspondent with the reversals. Here is a reminder of our top story. Benjamin netanyahu has said the airstrikes are just the beginning of a larger operation against hamas. He says some militants are still inside israel. Israeli media says the death toll has surpassed 900. After a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. Our coverage of israel at war with hamas continues right after this. Anchor welcome to live from paris is. These are the headlines. Hamas mourns it will kill is really hostages if the Israeli Military continues to strike buildings in gaza without warning. Its believed hamas is holding at least 100 israelis captive, many civilians. Benjamin netanyahu has called for a emergency government. Israel says it has retaken some towns
