Israel are targeting hamas, whether it is military compound, the bank, a house, israel has been targeting all the hamas installations including banks and including what hamas said is a Charity Organisation in central gaza. So for israel, they can keep Hitting Targets of hamas for quite a long time because they have in every corner, like on every street they have either a bank or an institution or a Police Station or a security compound, so this is what israel have been targeting since yesterday, when they started this Retaliation Attack after following the hamas Attacks On Israel yesterday.

I was talking to people yesterday as well, people were fleeing their houses, people have mixed feelings, most of the men, most of the people i met have mixed feelings about this. Yesterday it was like a moment of celebration for some of the palestinians, they said, because hamas was taking revenge on israel, thatis hamas was taking revenge on israel, that is attacked the palestinians but on the other hand people worried that this war might last for a very long time and since israel decided to cut electricity supplies, food and Water Supplies into gaza, people are really worried about this humanitarian situation. Most of gaza, people in gaza are staying indoors. Behind me is the main street, all the shops are closed except a few bakeries. There were people queueing at bakeries to get as much because they believe this war will last for a long time. More and develop meant we measured a few months ago, the Palestinian Authority has submitted a memorandum on sunday, from an Emergency Meeting of the arab league. They want that to be at the foreign ministerial level, according to the palestinian news agency. More information of that, the request for the meeting comes in light of what they, and i quote, says the brutal and ongoing Israeli Aggression against the Palestinian People including the escalation of the storming of the Al Aqsa Mosque by thousands of settlers, that quote comes from the arab league ambassador. So the latest is that the Palestinian Authority is calling for an Emergency Meeting of the arab league. We will have more on that when we get it. Next i want to show you a map of where israel says militants inside its territory. There are eight locations you can see those by the red points on the map. The israel Defence Forces say operations are taking place there including sufa, zikim and sderot. Hamas meanwhile says that fierce fighting is continuing. Earlier, ourjerusalem bureau chief jo floto gave us the latest. It was still, we are still getting hundreds of rockets that have been fired overnight from israel. They sustained but they sustain irritably Israeli Military. The death toll on both sides is rising. Approaching 300, we think. 0n death toll on both sides is rising. Approaching 300, we think.

We are also told by the Israeli Military that they will let us know how many of their soldiers have been killed, there will give us the number yet but they say it is a substantial number. It is still very much an ongoing situation. The Israeli Military also say they are sweeping through about eight remaining towns and villages on the gaza border to make sure there are no militants are still hiding out in those locations and they are proceeding with a major evacuation of israeli civilians from the south. So thousands of people who were remaining in that area will be bussed out and that will give us an indication of the kind of Military Operation that they anticipate unfolding in the next few days. Just lookin at unfolding in the next few days. Just looking at the bbc website, the live page says the israeli ambassador to the uk since the country is now on, quote, a necessity war with hamas to protect our people, goes on to say, we need to make sure all the infrastructure of terrorism will be 100 destroyed. Weve been hearing a little bit more about some of these strikes that have happened. Tell us more about some of those targets. The Israeli Military say they have it in the last 24 hours more than 400 targets, they have obviously got a list of places that they identified as hamas Military Targets but also our colleague in gaza at the moment and says they are also hitting buildings that are associated with hamas and their other role as the government of the gaza strip. And israel has cut off electricity supplies, it supplies some of the electricity in the gaza strip. A bit more is supplied through a Generator Inside Gaza itself. So they are hopefully from their Point Of View tightenin
