Translation all of the places hamas is active in in the city of evil, all the places hamas is hiding in, operating from, we will turn them into ruins. Im telling the people of gaza, get out of there now because were about to take action everywhere, with all our force. This is how the attack by hamas began yesterday morning, armed men cutting through israels Perimeter Fence accompanied by a wave of Rocket Attacks. Hamas releasing this footage showing an israeli tank being targeted. It was a highly planned operation catching israel off guard. Israelis whod been at a rave in the Fields Near Gaza were forced to flee for their lives. They were going three by three and shooting pow, pow, pow, pow everywhere, from two sides. And i saw many people, like, were dying, like, allaround. Allahu akbar israelis were seen been taken into gaza as hostages. More than 50 soldiers and civilians are believed to have been taken captive, though some have been rescued or released overnight.

The israeli Prime Minister is warning of a long and difficult war. Diplomatic efforts to stabilise what is the largest escalation in this conflict for decades wont be easy. Simon jones, bbc news. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner has been looking in detail at the hamas invasion and the Intelligence Failures which allowed it to happen. This map here gives you some idea of the extent of hamas� S Infiltration across the border from gaza into southern israel. These are 17 locations where we have verified the presence of Palestinian Militants in this attack. Now, all these cross border infiltrations by Palestinian Militants, taken together with the thousands of rockets fired at israel, represent a massive Intelligence Failure from israel. It shouldve seen this coming because they had regular military patrols going along that border. This is footage taken some years earlier. But they had cameras, sensors, informants inside the militant groups and yet, hamas was able to charge through that border, crossing it with things like this bulldozer, paragliders, by land, sea and air. And, all the while, hamas has been sending more missiles into places like this, tel aviv this office and residential block here hitting buildings while the Israeli Air Force hits gaza. However this ends, it will go down as one of the worst failures of Israeli Intelligence in 50 years. We will be returning to the situation in israel shortly but for now, lets hand over to ben with the rest of todays news, including a severe disruption in scotland due to the heavy weather.

A months worth of rain in just one day has left parts of scotland submerged and at a standstill. This landslide in argyll left ten people stranded with a Coastguard Helicopter deployed to airlift them to safety.

Weve got a bit of a problem here. The met office is Warning Flooding and fast flowing rivers and streams could pose a risk to life and damage property.

Labour is pledging to cut nhs Waiting Lists in england by funding two million more Hospital Appointments a year, paid for by ending the non dom tax status. The announcement comes as the Party Conference gets under way in liverpool. Our chief Political CorrespondentHenry Zeffman is there. Henry, talk us through the details of this policy and the timing of it. Its expected to be announced as part of the conference . Part of the conference . Thats riaht, part of the conference . Thats right. One part of the conference . Thats right. One of part of the conference . Thats right, one of the part of the conference . Thats right, one of the policies part of the conference . Thats right, one of the policies the i right, one of the policies the labour party are announcing over the conference is to do with cutting Waiting Lists for the nhs. It is a big part of the political debate at the moment and one of rishi sunak� s priorities and this is labours own version of how they would cut Waiting Lists so they said they would use of the proceeds abolishing non dom tax status, thats the tax status which means that some people who live in the uk dont have to pay uk tax on earnings they make abroad. Labour say the proceeds from abolishing that status, increased tax revenue, would be used to pay certain nhs staff over time and as a result, they say they would unlock 2 million more appointments a year. Its worth noting although the policy is new, we have heard before that labour want to abolish non dom tax status, its one of the big revenue bases, their big differences with the government, and i think it may be a bit of a thing for this conference. Not non dom tax status perse conference. Not non dom tax status per se but the labour party basically finessing existing policy rather than a lizard of new policy because fundamentally, keir starmer is a long way ahead of the poles and he does not want to slip up. His critics say he is being cautious, his allies say he is simply being sensible. I think it will be a key sort of debate of this conference within the labour party is to what extent keir starmer needs new policies or whether he just needs to explain a bit more to the British Public who he is. Explain a bit more to the British Public who he is. Henry, for now, thank you public who he is. Henry, for now, thank you very public who he is. Henry, for now, thank you very much. Public who he is.
